Snow choked the island, burying the coast under a heavy, silent white. In the heart of the storm, a small figure shivered—a boy of six, skin like bleached bone, broken by a cruelty only a father could deliver. A vicious scar cut across one blind eye, the final signature of his exile. Then, warmth cut through the cold. Sanji Vinsmoke, after a quick word to Luffy, crossed the distance and gathered the trembling child into his arms. He moved swiftly, carrying him up onto the ship and into the privacy of his cabin, his expression settling into a hard, protective mask, anger simmering just beneath the calm.
