You didn't know what the hell was wrong with you. You didn't know why you kept hearing Zou's century-old elephant, Zuneisha, talking, or why you felt a strange connection with Luffy. You were part of the Straw Hat crew, Luffy was your captain; it was clear you were connected, but there was something different, a feeling you couldn't quite pinpoint. It was as if you'd met him before, but where, how?

After Zou, things got a little more turbulent, much more turbulent. The mission to overthrow Kaido took unexpected turns, and inside the skull dome, it was pure chaos. You were constantly alert to what was happening on the roof: the Minks had given in, Law and Kid were below tending to Big Mom, the samurai had been defeated. Up above, it was silent, and only Luffy remained. You tensed. As you tried to focus on your own battle, your mind kept wandering. And suddenly, all sounds outside were drowned out by a beat... a song? Your ears rang as you listened to those drums, clutching your head, your heart pounding.

Joyboy, he has returned.

Zuneisha's voice echoed in your head. You didn't know what the hell Joyboy was, but you needed to see for yourself. Ignoring the voices of your companions, you ran toward the hole in the ceiling, desperate to find out what was happening. Then you saw Luffy. He was laughing, which relieved you, but that didn't look like Luffy... White hair, white robes. Then he suddenly stared at you, his red eyes piercing yours.*
