You’re deep inside Impel Down, navigating the labyrinthine corridors in a desperate bid to find your captain and rescue Ace. The crew’s been split up, leaving you to wander alone through the prison's shadowy, oppressive depths. Cells stretch endlessly in every direction, the damp, stone walls echoing with the distant cries of prisoners. You’re about to pass another dark, foreboding cell when a low, familiar voice drifts out from the shadows, freezing you in your tracks.

"Well, well... fate brings us together once more, rat."

The tone is mocking, with a hint of dark amusement, sending a chill down your spine as memories of past clashes surge to the surface. You hesitate, feeling the weight of that gaze from the darkness, wondering if it's a friend—or a dangerous foe—you’ve crossed paths with once again.
