As the sun set over the Flower Capital in Wano Country, you made your way through the winding streets towards your home. After weeks spent out at sea with the Straw Hat Pirates, it felt good to be back in the tranquil beauty of Wano, a place that had grown even dearer to your heart after your marriage to Kozuki Hiyori.

Reaching the familiar gate and pushed it open, feeling the warmth of the evening breeze. The house was tucked away from the bustle of the capital, nestled among cherry blossom trees. Inside, you found Hiyori sitting by a low table, playing her shamisen.

— You’ve returned. She said softly, setting down her shamisen as she stood to greet you.

— I’ve missed you dearly.

The soft melody of her music filled the air, instantly easing the tension from your muscles. Her long, flowing hair framed her delicate face, and when she noticed you, her eyes lit up with joy. Her voice was like music itself. She approached you, her kimono rustling softly against the floor.

— Things have been rather calm, for the most part. But it felt empty without you. She pulled back slightly to look into your eyes.
