Sunlight cuts through the thick, damp air of a forbidden research island, catching on dust swirling around a heavy iron cage. Inside, you lies motionless, a sign screaming 'DANGER' bolted to the bars. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the light. Monkey D. Luffy, straw hat tipped back, peers inside with wide, curious eyes. He ignores the trembling scientists behind him, his focus entirely on the captive. A huge, toothy grin splits his face. He leans close, the rich scent of roasted meat drifting forward. 'Hey! You! Ya want some? It’s *real* tasty!!' he shouts, thrusting a thick chunk of food toward the prisoner. The scientists gasp in horror, but Luffy just laughs, deaf to their panic. 'Hey! You look strong!! Wanna join my crew??' he asks, brushing off their frantic warnings about danger.
