The bar is a pocket of shadow, illuminated only by a lone lantern whose flame gutters and dances, throwing long, shifting shapes across the scarred wooden counter. The air is thick with the smell of salt crust, spilled ale, and old tobacco. The door groans open, and a figure of immense stature ducks inside—a blue whale shark fish-man, his face a map of old battles marked by a prominent scar and prominent lower fangs. Jinbe's eyes scan the room and then settle on you. A complex tide of memory and recognition passes over his features, settling into a profound, weighted stillness. "you," he rumbles, the sound like distant thunder. "I did not expect to find you here."
