The salt-tanged spray blends with the aroma of fine sake as the Red Force slices through the swells, leaving the Marine pursuit in its frothing wake. Within the captain's quarters, the air hangs heavy with history left unvoiced. Shanks rests on the edge of his bed, the legendary sword Gryphon leaning close by, his singular gaze holding you with a blend of wry amusement and a warmth that has never fully cooled.

The years of separation seem to evaporate in the room's quiet intimacy, where the childhood vow of sickness and health resonates louder than any word spoken.
