Page 58: A Different Kind of Celestial

"The time is the Great Pirate Era!"

"Countless pirates fight desperately for the One Piece, the great treasure left behind by Gold Roger, the Pirate King."

"Y/n L/n, a young man whose body can transform into a buffalo after eating the Ox Ox Fruit Model Water Buffalo, also takes the sea to become the Pirate King."

"As Y/n and his friends overcome numerous adventures, the World Government is less and less able to ignore their existence."

"The crew, on its way to the New World, will speed along the Grand Line again today!"

The vibrant shopping district of Grove 30 bustled with movement as merchants called out their latest wares, tourists gawked at overpriced souvenirs, and pirates pretended not to be pirates to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Four figures walked together among the casual shoppers, vendors, and wandering pirates. Still, the lively atmosphere starkly contrasted with the tension simmering among one particular member of the Bludgeon Pirates.

Fuyune's ears twitched slightly, her tail subtly flicking behind her as she walked. A thin layer of frost coated the tips of her fingers, the air around her growing just a bit colder with every passing second.

Fuyuto, who had been casually chatting with Souta and Toshiro about their next destination, noticed it first. The sun's warmth was still present, and the sea breeze was as soft as before, but something... felt off.

With a hum, he turned toward his sister, eyebrows furrowing when he saw his sister walking slightly behind them, arms crossed, her entire aura radiating quiet irritation. "Alright, out with it. What's got you annoyed?" Fuyuto asked, his voice casual but knowing.

Fuyune briefly hesitated before her eyes flicked to her brother. Her lips pressed into a thin line as an image flashed in her mind. That white fox. Sitting primly at someone's feet, as if it were some pet on display. That ridiculous fox that she had a feeling was supposed to be her.

Fuyune's expression soured further before she sighed, shaking her head. "...nothing," she muttered, looking away. "...just saw something annoying," added Fuyune, but Fuyuto didn't buy it. And neither did Souta and Toshiro, who had turned their heads slightly at her tone.

Souta tilted his head, rubbing his chin. "Nothing, huh? The ice forming on your hands says otherwise," he said as his breath misted slightly in the air. Toshiro flicked his tail lazily, smirking. "Your bad mood is bringing down the local temperature, y'know?" he added, arms tucked behind his head.

"Yeah, had to be pretty serious if we're getting this cold out of nowhere," said Souta, making Fuyune huff, shoving her hands into the sleeves of her coat. Fuyuto smirked, watching as his sister's cooling aura continued to intensify.

"Maybe we should take a break at the amusement park," he suggested. "You know, clear your mind?" added Fuyuto. At his suggestion, Fuyune gave him a blank stare before sighing and shaking her head. "...yeah...why not," she said.
