The atmosphere in the room was tense—not of mere diplomacy, but of two powerful forces sizing each other up...
The beast woman was known as Rihanna.
The Seductress of the Untamed Sea.
Her name alone carried weight across the lawless waters, whispered in taverns and pirate holds alike.
They said she could tame the wildest of pirates under her banner without lifting a finger, her mere presence enough to turn the most cutthroat marauders into obedient lapdogs.
Some described her as soft, alluring, and deceptively innocent, but the scar on her face told another story—a tale of blood and violence.
And those who had refused to bow to her?
Rumors claimed that they had been more than just defeated—they had been devoured, eaten like the Boar woman she was, on a silver plater.
Now, she stood as an envoy of the Zodiac Families, facing down a man whose authority was just as undeniable as her own.
Brandon von Temperance.
