The Sovereign Vessel hovered silently in the skies above the Goa Kingdom. The ship's cloaking field shimmered faintly under the early morning sun. Vegito stood at the edge of the observation deck, his tail gently flicking behind him.
Below, the regal spires of the royal palace stood in sharp contrast to the filth and flames of the Grey Terminal beyond its walls. A kingdom built on inequality. A place where the rich thrived on the backs of the forgotten.

Vegito absorbed the scrolls without hesitation. His senses sharpened instantly—he could now perceive the emotional states of others through their auras. Fear, rage, deceit... nothing could be hidden.
"Anything interesting on the scan?" he asked.
Nami joined him with a data tablet. "Something odd. A high-value Noble cargo is being prepped for transfer under tight security. It's not normal military movement. They're treating it like... a treasure."
"Or a hostage," Nojiko added, stepping forward. "Could be a political asset."
Vegito closed his eyes and extended his Haki. He felt it—faint but clear.
A cry for help. Not of fear, but of defiance.
"We're going in."
Inside the Goa Kingdom
Deep within the palace dungeon, a young woman sat chained. Her turquoise hair spilled over her shoulders, dirtied by confinement. Her eyes, though weary, still burned with fire.
Princess Vivi Nefertari.
Her abduction had been quiet, orchestrated by World Government agents who feared her father's sympathies toward revolution. Her disappearance was being covered up as diplomatic leave.
Now, she was property.
Until today.
The walls of her cell cracked violently.
A figure appeared in a burst of golden light, his eyes glowing with focused fury.
"Princess," Vegito said calmly. "Your kingdom needs you."
Breakout
The dungeon exploded into chaos. Marines and royal guards poured in, but Vegito tore through them with unrelenting precision. With one flick, he shattered the chains holding Vivi.
"Can you walk?"
"I can fight."
"Good."
She took a spear from a fallen guard, holding it like a queen on a battlefield. They moved through the corridors together, Vegito shielding her from cannon blasts and haki-imbued sword strikes.
The Sovereign Vessel descended with a pulse of wind. Kuina, Tashigi, and Nojiko dropped down from the ship, clearing the escape route.
By the time the Marines realized what was happening, Vivi was already aboard the Sovereign Vessel.

As Vivi stood on the deck, the wind blowing through her hair, she looked to Vegito.
"Why risk this for me?"
He turned to her. "Because people like you don't belong in chains. And because this world needs leaders who refuse to be puppets."
She smiled softly. "Then let's tear down their stage."
