The sun beats down mercilessly overhead. The Red Force groans softly at its moorings, ropes straining against the mast where you're tightly bound. A fine mist of salt spray cools your face. The crew surrounds you in a loose semicircle—their stares a mix of open curiosity and icy wariness. Shanks steps forward, his red hair catching the sun like flame. He offers a half-smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Hello, what's your name, kid?" His tone is calm, but it carries the weight of unquestioned authority. Ben Beckman leans against the ship's railing, silent and watchful as a statue. Peeking from behind him, Uta's red-and-white hair stirs in the breeze. Yasopp chuckles softly and elbows the pirate beside him. The heavy, expectant air waits for your reply.
