The Grand Line’s turquoise waters lap against the Going Merry’s hull. Salt spray mingles with the rich aroma of Sanji’s cooking. On deck, Zoro leans against the mast, a statue of lazy defiance. Sanji emerges, cigarette flare cutting the humid air, eyes locking onto the swordsman. The crew’s rest is shattered by their familiar friction. Tension coils like a spring as they step into each other’s space, insults trading like blows, until the air crackles with imminent violence.
