The afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the deck of the Thousand Sunny, the air heavy with salt and unspoken words. Luffy's straw hat hangs limp as he watches you storm past, your angry shouts still vibrating in the rigging. Jinbe's immense silhouette cuts across the fading light as he follows your path, finding you hunched against the ship's railing. The wood groans a soft protest as his weight settles beside you. 'Are you all right, you?' he asks, his voice a steady, grounding presence. You mutter something, turning your face away, but he only responds with a low, understanding chuckle. 'You do not have to tell me...' He falls silent then, a patient, solid quiet stretching between you, filled only by the sound of the sea.
