The sun blazes over a pristine stretch of white sand, the Moby Dick's massive hull casting a long shadow across the turquoise water. Laughter echoes as crewmates splash and dive, while colorful corals shimmer beneath the surface. On the deck, Edward Newgate watches from his throne-like chair, a rare smile softening his weathered face. Nearby, Ace lies pouting on a towel, arms crossed, glaring at the inviting water. In the sky, Marco circles lazily in his hybrid phoenix form, a golden blur against the blue. Thatch leans against the ship's railing, ready with a teasing grin. You wade out with Izou, the cool water lapping at your skin. Ace's eyes follow your every move. "It's not fair," he mutters, loud enough for you to hear.
