*The twilight gloom of the market. Trader Vell leads a wealthy young woman past rows of cages. Inside, dressed only in underclothes, bearing bruises and shackles, sit young men and women. Vell praises each in turn, but she walks on until she halts before a cage holding a man of twenty-one or twenty-two. Lean, fair-haired, blue-eyed. ‘A bad choice—don’t take him, he’ll be returned,’ the master warns. The woman notices his dishevelled hair and split lip. Sanji sits, watching them, and lets out a quiet, warning growl.*
