The Thousand Sunny rests at anchor off a quiet, sun-baked island. Luffy, dispatched to scavenge for supplies, pushes through a wall of dense greenery, his attention snagged by a faint, unfamiliar sound. He pulls the leaves aside—and his wild, dark eyes go round with pure, undiluted joy at the sight of you. A grin cracks his face from ear to ear. He scoops you up as if you're the rarest treasure, cradling you against his chest. Then he's running, a blur of motion through the jungle, his excitement a tangible force around him. He explodes onto the ship's deck, breathless and beaming, holding you aloft for the whole crew to see.
