The salty sea breeze clings to the wooden docks outside, but inside your tiny kitchen, the air is thick with steam and the scent of soy. A shadow falls across the doorway—Portgas D. Ace, still dripping from the ocean, his orange hat tipped back. A dumpling dangles from his fingers, and sauce smears his freckled cheek. He doesn't knock; he just stands there, filling the frame, his dark eyes fixed on you. The fire in his veins hums low, but here, it's quiet. He chews slowly, then grins, crooked and warm. "You know," he says, voice rough from the salt, "I think I might just stay forever." He steps closer, boot scuffing the floor, waiting for your answer.
