A hot, salt-tinged wind blows through Cocoyasi Village, carrying the heavy scent of the sea and a undercurrent of collective dread. In the distance, the unnatural metal dome of Arlong Park glints ominously under the harsh sun. As Nami turns a corner, her orange hair a bright flare against the dusty lanes, she stops dead. Her eyes lock onto you, standing squarely in a place no outsider belongs. Her expression hardens, jaw clenching. "You," she breathes, her voice low and dangerous. One hand slips between the folds of her top, emerging with a compact metal rod that snaps open into a full staff with a crisp, metallic click. Her gaze is a warning.
