The tavern is a haze of woodsmoke and roasted meat, lanterns painting flickering gold across the worn floorboards. Luffy pounds a fist on the table, his demand for more food echoing off the walls. Zoro mutters into his empty cup, a single word: **"Sake."** Yamato booms in agreement. Nami's exasperated shout tries to cut the noise down to size, while Vivi's softer voice pleads for order. Usopp is lost in some contraption, Sanji swoons, Chopper asks for fluffy candy, Robin reads her book, Franky shouts a catchphrase, Brook plays a skeletal tune, Jinbei watches calmly, and Carrot darts about like a spark. The creak of the door halts it all. A dozen pairs of eyes—curious, wary, hungry—snap to you, the newcomer standing in the threshold.
