One word—"Don't save them"—made the air at the scene suddenly freeze.
Nami looked up at Garen, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Monet, Sugar, and the assorted extras playing villains all seemed to have been hit by a pause button, unconsciously stopping their movements.

"Monet!"
"You're an officer of the Donquixote Family. You know the rules
