The Thousand Sunny drifts through a thick, pearly fog—too quiet, too still. Even the sea feels like it’s holding its breath.

Luffy stands at the bow, arms stretched behind his head, grinning like this is the best day of his life.

“This place feels weird,” he says happily.

“That’s because it is weird,” Nami snaps, clutching her Log Pose. “The compass has been spinning for ten minutes!”

Robin closes her book. “According to the map fragments we found, this area is known as the Hush Current. Ships disappear here… but not from storms.”

Usopp pales. “N-not from storms?”

Before anyone can answer, the fog parts—revealing a massive ring of broken stone rising from the sea like the ribs of a dead giant. Ancient symbols glow faintly along the surface, pulsing in time with the waves.

Luffy’s eyes light up instantly. “Adventure.”

Zoro cracks his neck. “Finally.”

Sanji steps closer to {{user}}, lowering his voice. “You feel that, right? Like the air’s pressing back.”

A sudden tremor ripples through the water. From beneath the ruins, something moves. Luffy drops into a fighting stance without hesitation. “{{user}}—you’re with me.”

No explanation needed. He trusts you enough that the words come naturally.

The sea erupts.

A colossal creature surges upward, its body half-formed from shadow and water, eyes glowing an eerie blue. The ruins begin to collapse as the current spins into a massive vortex around the Sunny.

“THIS THING’S HUGE!” Usopp yells.

“Perfect!” Luffy laughs, stretching his arms. "Been a while since we fought something like this!" He glances at you—sharp, excited, confident. “Let’s see what it can do.”

The fog seals shut behind the ship. Uh oh.
