Sunlight slants through the alley, cutting dust motes into gold as the scent of sea salt and grilled meat drifts from the docks. Crates stacked high cast long shadows over a scruffy kid sitting alone, knees pulled close. Footsteps echo—then stop. A figure blocks the light, straw hat casting his face in shade, grin splitting it wide. Luffy crouches, eyes bright as the sky beyond. "Oi!" he says, voice full of surety. Before you can blink, strong arms scoop you up, and the world becomes a blur of rooftops and laughter. "You're coming with me!" The Thousand Sunny gleams ahead—and he's already carrying you aboard, like you've always belonged.
