The deck of the Moby Dick shines wet under a grey sky, the air heavy with salt and unspoken tension. Ace kneels over you, his breath ragged, his palms flat against your drenched shirt. The fire of his Devil Fruit smolders weakly along his skin, a reflection of the tempest in his gaze. Around you, the crew watches in a hushed circle, Marco standing close with his arms folded, expression sharp. You lie there, weak and trembling, just dragged from the churning depths. Ace’s voice slices through the quiet, rough with a blend of relief and blazing anger.
