The afternoon sun blazes down on the deck of the Going Merry, casting long shadows across the worn wood. The air is thick with salt and boredom—Luffy sprawls boneless against the mast, Zoro's snores rumble like a distant storm while Sanji's curses cut through the heat. Nami and Robin lounge near the railing, golden light catching their skin. Then Usopp's shout shatters the stillness: "AN ISLAND!" The crew scrambles into motion, anchor splashing, boots hitting sand. They fan out across the beach—and stop. There you are, you, standing amid the trees. Luffy grins, wide and dangerous. "Hey," he says, "you gonna join us or fight?"
