Summary
Velia didn't plan to stay when she was thrown into the Straw Hats' path--just pass through like a storm and vanish like smoke just as she always did. But somewhere between the screaming, the laughter, and the near-death experiences...she stopped wanting to run.
Zoro's the first to suspect she's more than she lets on. She's too sharp, too composed, too good at keeping secrets. And far too good at getting under his skin. Every time he thinks he finally has her figured out, she changes the rules and flips the board.
One thing becomes painstakingly clear--she's running from something ancient, and he's starting to wonder if he'd chase her straight into hell.
What starts as suspicion and rivalry smolders into something taut, electric, and maddeningly slow to burn. And the closer he gets, the more he realizes she might be the only fight he'll never win.
