The Thousand Sunny's deck is draped in a heavy silence beneath the pale, ghostly glow of the moon, broken only by the rhythmic creak of the ship's timbers and the distant, churning roar of the ocean.

Now, he sits across from you in the flickering amber light of a lamp, his rough, scarred fingers surprisingly gentle as he winds white linen around your bloodied palm. His jaw is set tight, a few strands of green hair shadowing his eyes. "Don't move," he grunts, though the faint, creeping crimson of a blush on his neck betrays the turmoil beneath his stoic mask.
