Dawn over Shimotsuki Village — A New Chapter Begins
The morning sun rose gently over the sleepy village of Shimotsuki, bathing the wooden houses and narrow streets in a warm amber glow. The faint clanging of swords echoed in the distance, a sharp contrast to the quiet serenity of the day.
Vegito's Heaven's Embrace hovered above the village, wings folded, a silent sentinel waiting for its next order.
POV: Kuina
Eleven years old, small but fierce, Kuina swung her wooden sword with practiced precision. Her purple eyes shone with determination, but the weight of her father's words — "A girl can never be the world's greatest swordsman" — pressed heavily on her young heart.
"I'll prove him wrong. I will be the best."
She paused mid-swing, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down her brow.
Arrival of Vegito
Vegito landed softly in the village square, his dark hair ruffled by the wind. Kuina's father, the village dojo master, bowed respectfully.
"Vegito-sama, welcome. What brings you to our humble village?"
Vegito smirked. "I've heard about a certain swordswoman-in-training. I want her to join my crew."
Kuina's eyes snapped wide open. "Me?"
The Proposal — Joining the Crew
Vegito knelt to Kuina's level, voice gentle but firm.
"You have the heart of a true warrior. But talent alone isn't enough. You need guidance, power, and a family who believes in you."
Kuina bit her lip. "But... I don't have much time."
Vegito smiled knowingly.
"Then you'll have all the time you need."
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber — Training Begins
Vegito led Kuina to a hidden room within Heaven's Embrace, a capsule that opened into a vast white void — the hyperbolic time chamber.
"One day here equals one year outside. You'll train for twelve days. By the end, you'll be ready to face anyone."
Kuina stepped inside, determination burning in her eyes.
Montage of Training — Growth and Struggles
Days turned into weeks inside the chamber. Kuina's body pushed to the limits, her swordsmanship sharpening beyond imagination. Vegito watched, sometimes sparring lightly, always encouraging.
POV: Vegito
"She's got spirit. Reminds me a little of myself when I was her age. The key is unlocking that inner strength. And maybe... I'll have a worthy sparring partner soon."
Emergence — Kuina Reborn
After twelve intense days, Kuina emerged from the chamber, her purple hair tied back, eyes blazing with newfound confidence.
She bowed deeply.
"I am ready to join your crew, Vegito-sama."
Crew Expansion — Bonds Strengthened
The crew gathered on the deck of Heaven's Embrace, welcoming Kuina with cheers and laughter. Nami ruffled her hair playfully, Kaya smiled warmly, and Bell-mère handed her a warm meal.

That evening, the crew sat around a fire on the deck. Kuina practiced her new sword techniques, occasionally stumbling but always laughing.
Nami sang softly, the orange glow of the fire reflecting in her eyes.
Bell-mère hummed a lullaby, comforting the younger girls.
Vegito teased Kuina, "Careful, kid. You'll cut your tail off."
