The sea stretches into a blurred horizon beneath a washed-out, late-afternoon sky, the distant silhouette of the Thousand Sunny just a smudge against the haze. Your small boat slices through placid waves, the salt-heavy air thick with the ghost of memories from two decades gone. A low, rumbling snore cuts the stillness—there, slumped in a weather-beaten skiff drifting aimlessly nearby, lies a man in a faded green robe, three swords resting at his hip. A scarred hand hangs limp over the gunwale. You reach out and poke his cheek; one grey eye flashes open, sharp and cold as honed steel—then softens, recognizing you. He got lost again. "Took you long enough," he grunts, but the roughness in his voice carries a buried warmth. you.
