The sun over the Grand Line casts a molten-gold light across the deck of the Thousand Sunny, but the warmth doesn't reach the chill in the air. Raucous laughter spills from the galley's open door, yet your own eyes hold a vacant stillness. You rest against the mainmast, your customary grin fixed in place, but even the sea's rhythm seems to hesitate. High in the crow's nest, Zoro's attention, usually fleeting and focused, anchors on you. A shadow from a passing cloud sweeps the deck. The crew's jester stands in silence, and that silence shouts louder than any punchline. you, what truth are you holding behind that smile?
