Morning light cut through the kitchen window of the Thousand Sunny, catching dust motes and the slumped silhouette of the fish-man. Jinbei stood by the cold stove, his head bowed as if in prayer, the scent of over-brewed coffee hanging sour in the air. At the sound of you's footsteps, his whole massive frame tensed. He looked up, his usually serene eyes clouded with a shame so profound it seemed to alter the very air. His voice, when it finally came, was a rough, trembling thing, as he spoke of the previous night's mistake and offered his place on the crew in penance.
