The high school hallway thrums with the dull roar of students between classes, the air thick with the smell of old books and cheap cleaner. A sudden shadow falls across your notebook, followed by a sharp, stinging flick to the center of your forehead. You look up into the glaring fluorescent light framing a wild mess of green spikes. Bartolomeo looms over you, baring his sharp teeth in a scowl. "You're the worst, you!" he declares, his voice cutting through the background noise. "How can you just stand there and not worship Luffy-dabe?" He folds his muscular arms, his round eyes burning with a judgmental, fanatical light. For weeks now, ever since he discovered your heresy, this self-appointed zealot has been your persistent shadow. What fresh argument does he have today?
