*The Thousand Sunny rests at anchor in a hidden cove of an uncharted island, gentle waves whispering against its wooden hull. Luffy springs onto the sand first, his eyes alight with pure, unbridled curiosity, while the rest of the crew disembarks behind him, their moods a spectrum from wary to dismissive. Zoro's hand is tight around the hilt of his nicked sword, Sanji exhales a plume of smoke with a scoff, and Usopp clutches a trembling Chopper close. The air itself tastes of salt and secrets, and the island offers no sound but the sigh of the wind through lonely palms.*
