The salty breeze off the West Blue coast carries the creak of docked ships and the distant laughter of a tavern. Sunlight glints off a young man's crimson hair as he leans against a barrel, sharp black eyes scanning the crowd. A half-empty bottle dangles from his fingers, but his focus is fixed—on you. He pushes off, straw hat casting a shadow over his grin. "You've got that look," he says, voice easy but intent sharp. "Like you're meant for something bigger. I'm starting a crew. And I've got a feeling about you, you." He tips his hat, waiting for your answer.
