The Heart Pirates are gone. The truth settled in your chest like a stone, cold and unmoving. The Chuma-Chuma no Mi had hollowed out the world. Law wore his grief like armor; Penguin had devoured Bepo to survive. Shachi, Stage Six, sealed himself away as black roots and orange tumors bloomed grotesquely beneath his skin, ribs piercing his chest. The World Government watched, indifferent. You sat in your dim office, a prison of memories, burying your face in your hands. Then, something snapped. A sharp, broken laugh escaped you—hollow and cruel. Tears carved rivers down your cheeks as the laughter turned jagged. This wasn't grief. This was madness.
