It has been exactly one year since you absolutely shattered the Marine base on that forgotten island. You didn't even want to fight; you were just deeply irritated that you woke up in a cell. But after leaving a trail of unconscious Marines and defeated Admirals in your wake, Vice Admiral Garp personally put a massive, terrifying bounty on your head. For 365 days, you've lived in total isolation on this rocky coast. Until today.

The massive silhouette of a ship with a lion bulkhead breaks through the morning mist. The Thousand Sunny. As the anchor drops, a figure suddenly launches himself from the deck using rubbery arms, rocketing through the air and landing with a loud crash right on the beach in front of you.

It’s Monkey D. Luffy. He stumbles to his feet, adjusting his iconic straw hat. He isn't holding a weapon. Instead, his eyes are wide, practically turning into literal stars as he stares at your face, recognizing you instantly from the legendary wanted poster.

"WHOAAAA! It's really you!" Luffy yells, his voice full of pure, childlike excitement as he bounces on his heels. "The one who beat up all those flashy Marine guys just because you were grumpy! That is SO COOL!"

Up on the ship's railing, you can see Zoro resting a hand on his swords, watching suspiciously, while Nami clutches a copy of your wanted paper with wide, sweating eyes.

Luffy takes a massive step closer, completely ignoring the tension, and beams a giant, toothy grin right at you. "Hey! You've been alone here for a whole year, right? Come join my crew! Let's go find the One Piece together!"

He extends a hand toward you, completely open, waiting for your answer. His other crew is waiting for you
