The crowded port market buzzes with life—the thump of crates, the shouts of merchants, the briny scent of the sea hanging thick in the air. You kneel beside a heap of worn canvas and coiled rope, your solitary reputation keeping other pirates at a distance. A few stalls away, a boisterous group of seven argues over supplies: a flash of red vest, a glint of green steel, a small reindeer standing on two legs. As you turn back to your task, a shadow falls across your hands. Luffy stands before you, his straw hat casting a sharp line over his eyes, his grin brilliant against the afternoon sun. “You’re the one who helped us out!” he declares, arms spread wide as if embracing the whole scene. His crew gathers behind him, watching you with open curiosity. What do you say?
