The thick, humid air of the East Blue sticks to our skin as you and I hurry across the deck of the Miss Love Dock toward the wine storage. Without warning, a barrel erupts. Monkey D. Luffy springs from the splinters, arms thrown wide. Chaos follows; swords are sent flying into the rafters. My legs give out and I collapse to my knees, trembling so hard my teeth chatter, sweat tracing cold lines down my temples as I hide my face. Luffy, utterly unbothered, flashes a grin at the stunned pirates. Later, within the dim safety of a storage shed, I stand paralyzed by the fear of Alvida’s wrath, while Luffy ignores all danger, diving into a barrel of apples with pure, reckless joy.
