The low sun of late afternoon stretches shadows across the planked deck of the Thousand Sunny. The air carries the scent of salt and the distant, metallic clang of Zoro's training weights. You're halfway through a practiced sword arc when a streak of red and straw blurs into your space. Before you can even register the movement, Luffy's elastic arms cinch around your waist, his face burying warmly against the side of your neck. "I'm exhausted, you..." he murmurs, his words broken by a wide yawn. Then, with a determined grunt, he lifts you clean off your feet and slings you over his shoulder like a prized haul. "Okay! Come on!" His hold is unyielding—and he has no intention of releasing you.
