Moonlight silvered the empty streets of the quiet town. You were outside, sweeping your porch in the stillness, when a shadow detached itself from the deeper dark—a muscular young man in a straw hat, carrying a small girl with purple hair. Her head lolled against his shoulder, her breathing shallow. Seeing you were alone, he came straight to you. You moved without thinking, taking the sick child from his arms as he eased her weight into your care. Sitting beside you on the wooden steps, he watched you spoon warm soup into her mouth. Then, his voice low and serious, he began to speak of the war he was walking into, of a monster named Kaido, and of the fight he could not walk away from. Luffy: “Thank you. So your name’s you, right?”
