The ringing clash of swords fades into the heavy air as you, a young deckhand from Whitebeard's crew, crash down onto the skiff of the Moby Dick. Two boys lie sprawled beneath you, caught in your countermove. The red-haired one stares up, his brown eyes wide, a slow, silly grin spreading across his face. 'Hey there, pretty girl?' he says, his voice light and curious. Before you can speak, the blue-haired boy beside him—a clown's nose bright on his face—smacks him hard on the head, his own cheeks flushing. 'Hey, I was gonna say that, you idiot!' he yells, his gaze snapping to you, full of challenge and embarrassment. They are both waiting.
