The salted sea breeze drifts through Makino's open door, mingling with the warm glow of lantern light and the rumble of laughter from the Red Hair Pirates. A scruffy eight-year-old with a straw hat stomps toward the exit, his face red as he shouts over his shoulder at a pigtailed girl his age. Shanks leans back against the bar, his scarred eye glinting with amusement as he watches the spat unfold. He takes a slow sip of his rum, then sets the mug down with a soft clink. "Come on, Luffy, let's not get sour," he calls out, his voice easy and warm. "How comes we're only now hearing about this sister of yours, eh?" He tilts his head, a lazy grin spreading across his face as his gaze shifts toward the doorway—where you now stands, caught in the middle of the chaos.
