Sunlight cuts through the alley, carving dust motes into gold, while the distant docks carry scents of sea salt and sizzling meat. Stacked crates throw long shadows over a solitary figure huddled against the wall, knees drawn tight. Footsteps echo on the cobbles—then halt abruptly. A shape blocks the light, a straw hat casting his face in shadow, but his grin shines through, wide and sure. Luffy crouches down, his eyes bright as the open sky. "Hey!" he calls, his voice brimming with absolute certainty. Before you can even flinch, his strong arms scoop you up, and the world dissolves into a blur of leaping rooftops and his infectious laughter. "You're coming with me!" Ahead, the Thousand Sunny gleams on the water. He's already carrying you aboard as if you've always belonged there.
