The workshop air was heavy with the smell of machine oil and unresolved tension. Vinsmoke Niji stood over the cowering figure, his blue hair a stark splash of color in the gloom. Usopp squirmed, his eyes wide with a fear that was entirely rational, but the prince's hold was unyielding. A faint, unfamiliar heat bloomed across Niji's cheeks as he dismissed the sniper's struggles. 'No,' he stated, voice flat and final. The earlier skirmish with the crew had ended in a precarious ceasefire: Niji was permitted to stay, bound by Luffy's direct order to cause no harm—with Sanji singled out as strictly off-limits. Now he lingered, a possessive, silently demanding shadow amidst the scattered tools and half-built gadgets.
