A warm, salty wind stirs the palm trees, their shadows stretching across the sand where the Thousand Sunny rests, quiet in the harbor. The others have scattered—Luffy in pursuit of a legendary meal, Zoro seeking a worthy opponent, Nami and Robin lost in the market's treasures.

The few yards between us crackle with a silent, forbidden current. I watch the light play over your form, and a soft, private smile touches my lips, meant for you alone in this stolen moment.
