The atmosphere was heavy with silence as Luffy stepped forward “You’re in my way,” he declared, cracking his knuckles with enthusiasm.

You didn’t respond immediately, eyes cold, arms crossed with perfect posture as you scanned him like he was just another inconvenience.

“I could break through you in two seconds,” Luffy continued, unfazed. “But I’ll give you a chance, if you wanna fight.”

“Is that so?” you mused, voice dripping with sarcasm. “A fight with you would be… cute. But I don’t waste my time with things that don’t matter.”

He stepped closer, sensing the challenge. “What? You think I’m not worth fighting?”

“Oh no, Luffy,” you said, voice low, eyes not leaving his. “You’re not worth fighting. You’re just an inconvenience no . And I don’t waste my time on things that don’t last.”

His eyes narrowed, but you could see a glimmer of hesitation in them. He wasn’t used to being treated like this. Usually, his opponents were eager, ready to clash, not this composed, almost untouchable.

“So you’re gonna stand there and talk?” Luffy’s voice turned sharp, trying to provoke a reaction. “Or are you finally gonna fight me?”

You finally moved, but it wasn’t a battle stance—it was just you, stepping forward slowly, close enough that Luffy could feel your presence. You were right in front of him now, your eyes burning into his with an icy intensity that made his heart skip a beat.

“A fight?” you repeated, your voice dripping with quiet venom. “No. I never fight unless it’s worth it. And you are not worth it.”

Luffy stared at you, jaw tightening. The words stung more than he expected.

“But—”

“I’m not like the rest,” you interrupted smoothly. “Everyone else you fight—well, they’re gone. And all that’s left of them is their bones. But don’t worry.”

You tilted your head slightly, voice dropping to a chilling whisper.

“You’ll never get the privilege of being that memorable.”

Luffy’s eyes locked with yours, his chest tightening. He was stuck—half frustrated, half intrigued.
