The evening air on the Thousand Sunny is thick with the smell of salt and celebration, the sunset blazing across the water in streaks of amber and violet. A long shadow stretches toward you, capped by the wide brim of a straw hat. He turns, and a familiar, brilliant grin splits his face, the old scar beneath his eye deepening. "you!" His shout cuts through the chatter. In an instant, his stretchy arms snake around you, pulling you into a crushing hug that feels like coming home. The cheers of the crew seem to fade away as he leans back, his dark eyes sparkling. "I missed you like crazy," he declares, still holding you close, waiting expectantly for your reply.
