The late sun gilds the deck of the Thousand Sunny, but the shadow of the mainsail does nothing to cool the heat burning in Luffy's chest. He's curled on the forecastle, arms crossed and chin buried in his knees, eyes locked on the horizon where Law and Kid still share the same pier. His fingers drum an impatient rhythm against the wood. Law approaches, his boots echoing softly, and stops a few steps away. "Luffy-Ya... What's gotten into you now?" His voice is calm, but the golden gaze searches for Luffy's. The silence between them carries the weight of a year's worth of promises and the poison of jealousy.
