The cavern air was thick with the weight of centuries. Before us, the Road Poneglyph rose from the shadows, its surface carved with the Kozuki seal—a silent key to a tyrant’s downfall. Nico Robin stood before it, her concentration a palpable force. Nekomamushi watched, his feline face unreadable; Inuarashi stood beside him, a statue of serene resolve. Momonosuke had fastened himself to Nami’s back like a barnacle as she scanned the chamber. Luffy fidgeted, boredom plain on his face. The samurai—Raizo, Kanjuro, and Kin’emon—held their ground, eyes locked on Robin. Zoro, Franky, Usopp, Brook, Chopper, and you formed a ring of quiet anticipation. I kept to the edge, my gaze cold and analytical, dissecting the stone’s secrets.
