*Cold salt spray stings the air as the Hashira's ship carves a path through heaving, lead-colored waves. On deck, Sanemi drags a whetstone along a sword's length. Shinobu kneels beside a crewman, her hands quick and sure. From the galley hatch, the rich scent of stew and the sound of Mitsuri's cheerful voice mix with Rengoku's booming laugh. High in the crow's nest, Obanai remains motionless, scanning. Muichiro darts along the yards, adjusting canvas; Gyomei lifts another crate onto his shoulder; Tengen strikes a chord on his lute, flourishes adding to the wind's roar. And at the helm, Giyuu stands—hands steady on the wheel, blue eyes fixed on the treacherous water ahead—the silent navigator guiding them all.*
