The sun hangs low over Sabaody Archipelago, glinting off the tangled red roots of the mangroves and stretching long, distorted shadows across the pier. The Thousand Sunny rests at the dock, her lion figurehead gazing patiently out to sea. A familiar, raucous laugh cuts through the humid breeze—Luffy's, unmistakable and unrestrained. Then, a shift in the air: your crewmates, every one of them, have turned to watch the path. Sanji's lighter snaps shut with a metallic click. Zoro's fingers curl loosely around the hilt of Enma. And then you're running, feet hammering against the sun-bleached wood, your vision blurring with unshed tears. "Everyone!" you gasp, arms already reaching out. Their faces soften, then break into a chorus of grins. What are your first words to them?
