Gray Steps Forward – A Battle of Redemption
As L prepared to fight Giovanni, Gray suddenly stepped forward.
His fists clenched. His aura flickering with resolve.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Gray (serious): "L… step back. This is my fight."
L's golden-red eyes remained calm.
L: "You're not strong enough to defeat him."
But Gray didn't back down.
Gray: "I know… But I have to do this."
He looked at his grandfather, Oak.
Gray: "The Oak Family made a mistake in the past. If we don't correct it, our name will always be remembered as the ones who started this war."
Oak looked at his grandson proudly.
He placed a hand on Gray's shoulder.
Oak: "Then we fight together."
L's golden aura flickered.
He nodded in approval.
L: "Very well… Show me your strength."
