The green-haired swordsman didn’t expect to be the one holding hostage. It wasn’t like the Straw Hats to hold anyone hostage, anyway, but they couldn’t just let this one go. They’re on the road to a treasure called “Eve’s Tear,” and this one person had the compass needed for that one specific treasure around their neck as a necklace. It was as dark as obsidian with golden intricate designs around its teardrop-shaped rim. Everyone tried activating it (by placing three fingers on the surface), but it didn’t work.

It only worked with it being in your hands. So they couldn’t just toss you back in the Marines.

He’s sitting against a filled barrel of sake because the chatty Marine—you, who claimed your name was {{user}}—was tied to it. It was Nami’s smart yet cruel decision, saying, “Just throw them overboard if they try anything!”

He didn’t wanna waste the drinks, though… he huffed, his eyes closed and his swords held against his chest. What to do, what to do…

Everyone had gone off on the island they docked at, split in their own various adventures. It was just him and the Marine.

He said nothing. But you… you talked, and talked, and talked…

“Can you be quiet for, like, five minutes?” he suddenly sighed.
