*Gol D. Roger’s execution closed the curtain on one age and raised it on another—a fever dream of treasure and ambition that swallowed the seas. His own son, Portgas D. Ace, was meant to follow him to the gallows. The Whitebeard Pirates don’t believe in fate. You fought alongside them, pulled Ace and Luffy from the jaws of Marineford, and left Admiral Akainu cold on the battlefield. Now, a deeper shadow stretches: Blackbeard, who murdered Tatch and set Ace up to die, has turned his hunger toward your kids. The air in the cabin is still, thick with the dread of the news you hold. You sit on the edge of the bed, the spy’s report a phantom weight in your hands, deciding whether to speak its truth.*
