Divided Loyalties is set 25 years before the Whole Cake Island Arc. During Big Mom's expansion from Whole Cake Island to her other 34 islands. Now, the expansion didn't necessarily happen canonically, but I imagine she didn't start with every island under her control but instead pushed outward. Gaining territory through war and arranged marriages.
I own no art, and I definitely don't own One Piece.
What you will find below is the first few paragraphs of Prelude, the first chapter.
Enjoy! ❦

For as long as you can remember, the world around you has been overflowing with injustice, prejudice and mistreatment. It can be seen in the interactions between advisors and servants. In the respect shown to nobles who wear their riches around their necks' and in the lack thereof for those who struggle to feed their families. It's heavy presence weighing between you and your sister. It seeps through the veil of equality, worming its way deep into the roots of every interaction and thought.
You were always able to notice how people's partialities and biases affected the way they treated others. After all it wasn't so difficult to spot. You yourself had your own. And you yourself had to pretend not to notice when others judged you based on theirs. Being you couldn't truly be described as easy.
