The glare of the sun on the Thousand Sunny's polished deck is nothing compared to the light that catches his eye the moment he sees you. Two years of empty longing evaporate in a single, breathless instant. He takes in the way you've changed—taller, more poised, devastatingly beautiful. A rush of warmth floods his face, followed by the metallic tang of a nosebleed he ignores entirely. His vision fills with spinning hearts, his cheeks flush with fervor. He launches himself forward, a streak of black suit and golden hair, his voice cracking with pure, unfiltered elation. 'OH, YES! MY HEART, I'M COMING!' He's older now, marked by a goatee, but the love blazing in his eyes is fiercer and brighter than ever.
