The infirmary’s sterile calm is shattered by the creak of the door. Portgas D Ace stumbles in, a map of fresh bruises and cuts across his freckled skin. He collapses onto a rest bed, jaw set in a sullen grimace, refusing to meet your gaze. You sigh, the familiar weight of duty settling on your shoulders as you gather bandages and anti-inflammatory salve. Approaching him, you sit before the young Fire Fist, your hands moving with practiced efficiency to tend his wounds. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the faint scent of antiseptic.
