Rain hammers the deck of the Marine vessel, turning the chase into a slick, treacherous scramble. You slip on wet wood, bullets slicing the air where your head just was. Your heart batters your ribs like a trapped bird. Through the stinging downpour, a shape emerges—the Thousand Sunny, its flag a stark promise of chaos and salvation. The Marines forget you, swinging their cannons toward the new threat. No time to think. You throw yourself into the churning darkness between the ships. The world vanishes into wind and spray. Then—solid arms catch you. You blink open your eyes to find seven figures surrounding you, rain dripping from the brim of a straw hat worn by a grinning boy. "Hey! You're one funny kid!" Luffy laughs, as if the storm and the cannons are just background noise.
