One Piece: Nocturne
In the shadowy corners of the Grand Line lies Veilstead, a winter-shrouded island erased from maps and memory. There, hidden beneath the snow and steel, the rogue faction Neoterra Mandate forged their perfect weapons: children twisted by science, spliced with powerful bloodlines, and cursed with experimental Devil Fruits. Their first and only true success—Subject E-01—was a girl born not only of man but of Mink, engineered to be obedient, silent, and deadly.
Her name was Eira Nocturne, though even she had forgotten it.
For thirteen years, she endured pain, manipulation, and control—until the day she turned their power against them and carved a path to freedom. With an unstable Devil Fruit born from emotional resonance and fused with the fractured remnants of a pirate's mind-controlling ability, Eira escapes into a world she was never meant to see.
Now sailing aboard a ghost ship she claimed from a mind-thieving pirate, Eira begins her journey across the seas—not to conquer, but to live. She hides her pain behind a smile, forcing joy into her heart with the very fruit that once suppressed her, trying to forget the lab and the ghosts it left behind.
But in a world of pirates, Marines, warlords, and revolution, freedom is never simple. As she crosses paths with the infamous Straw Hat Pirates, Eira must decide what her future holds: vengeance or belonging, destruction or rebirth.
A ghost born from snow and fire, chasing the warmth of a life she was never allowed to live.
This is the story of Eira Nocturne—the Frost Ghost of the Grand Line.
