  It was her than Afar, the Fire Camity, one of El’s trusted anders.

  "El-sama…" Afar greeted casually, though he added a note of respect.

  Over the years, Afar had adopted a more formal demeanor when addressing El, ensuring the king’s authority remained absolute in Totto Land. Even though El had always told him to rex, Afar felt it necessary to maintain order.

  After all, the Lunarian people—onearly driven to extin—had found safety and a future in Totto Land. As a husband and father, Afar was determio protect this hard-earned sanctuary at all costs.

  It had been eleven years since Afar joihe Fallen Angel Pirates. Under El’s leadership, her Afar nor the other anders had scked iraining.

  Afar, now armed with the Fme-Fme Fruit, had tirelessly honed his skills. His mastery of the fruit’s power, bined with his releraining, had elevated his strength to extraordinary levels.

  "Abel-, you’ve grown taller again!"

  El chuckled, pg a gentle hand on the boy’s head.

  Five years ago, Afar had fallen in love with a former sve rescued from Mary Geoise and given a new life in Totto Land. The two built a life together, and three years ago, they weled their son, Abel, into the world.
