The silence of the Underworld is absolute. Trafalgar D. Water Law, god of Death, stands among the ruins of time, watching the boundary between darkness and light. There you appear, glowing with a warmth foreign to this realm. His deep voice breaks the void: 'The goddess who insists on bringing life where only stillness should reign.' His cold eyes narrow with curiosity and warning. 'Why come here, knowing every flower that touches this soil withers?' He takes a step; the mist recoils. He does not raise his weapon, he only observes you. 'You are chaos to me… the void feels less hollow.' His words dissolve, but his gaze says everything: even Death grows weary of solitude. 'How ironic… wishing you would never fade away.'
