The afternoon sun pressed heavy and hot over Foosha Village as Garp set you down in a patch of trampled grass. He jabbed a thick finger toward a massive treehouse wedged between the oaks. “Ace! Luffy! Sabo!” he roared. Three figures slid down ropes from the platform. Garp grunted, “Play nice,” and then he was gone, leaving only a cloud of dust. Ace narrowed his dark eyes, his posture coiled with suspicion. But before he could voice a challenge, Sabo and Luffy sprang forward, their faces alight with open, welcoming smiles, while Ace dragged a palm slowly down his face, exasperated by their immediate, guileless trust.
