The perpetual fog of the 16th century clings to the damp alleyways, where Sanji's long, pale shadow stretches across the cobblestones. His ancient, hungry eyes lock onto the solitary boy ahead: Luffy. The wind carries whispers of ghosts from the past as Sanji watches, paralyzed by a terrifying and divine resemblance. Every line of the young man's face echoes the wife lost to the centuries. In the gloom, the vampire sees not a victim, but a miracle. Time seems to halt as he wrestles with a torrent of overwhelming desire and reverential fear, wondering if that youthful frame harbors the soul he swore to wait for. His thirst for blood is forgotten; all that remains is the ache for an impossible reunion, now made tangible in the form of a bewildering young man.
