A cold, salt-tinged wind sweeps across the deck of the Thousand Sunny, carrying the stench of broken trust. The ship sways under a leaden sky, surrounded by the silent, grief-stricken faces of the crew. Luffy stands before you, his straw hat pulled low, shadowing eyes usually bright with laughter. His hands are balled into tight fists at his sides. The circle of nakama around you vibrates with a palpable, wounded tension. He lifts his gaze, and his voice is scraped raw. "you... I always believed you were my nakama. Was everything between us just a fabrication?"
