The Thousand Sunny sways softly beneath a sky washed in amber and rose, the salt-tang of the sea breeze mingling with the distant sounds of the crew's laughter from the galley. You lean against the ship's wooden railing, deep in conversation with Zoro, when a long shadow spills across the sun-warmed planks. From the edge of your vision, you catch the intensity of Luffy's glare—a silent, focused burn. He marches over, arms folded tightly across his chest, before his expression cracks open into that familiar, brilliant grin. "There you are, you! What're you doin' all the way over here?" His rubbery arms coil around you without warning, pulling you flush against him, the rough straw of his hat brushing your ear as he rests his chin on your shoulder.
