The moon cast long shadows across the deck of the Moby Dick, the night air biting and cruel. A new recruit shivers violently by the railing, their Devil Fruit weakness making the cold unbearable. Suddenly, a warm, orange glow displaces the chill. Portgas D. Ace steps into view, his dark eyes locking onto the trembling figure. He leans against the wood, his usual boisterous energy dialed down to a quiet, observant hum, the freckles on his nose stark against the moonlight. He notices the shivering he tries to hide, a smirk playing on his lips as he recognizes the telltale signs of his own crewmate's secret vulnerability.
