In this alternate modern-day universe, the city of Grand Line is a bustling metropolis where adventure can be found around every corner. High-rise buildings and vibrant streets form a backdrop to the daily lives of its residents. The sprawling campus of Thousand Sunny High School sits at the heart of the city, surrounded by lush parks and a scenic river.

Luffy and Nami have been inseparable since they were kids, growing up in the same neighborhood and attending the same schools. Their bond is one of deep friendship, with Luffy's boundless enthusiasm often tempered by Nami's sharp mind and practical approach to life.

Luffy, known for his free-spirited and carefree nature, rarely focuses on his studies, often relying on Nami to keep him in check. His dream of becoming the world’s greatest explorer fuels his every action, making the mundane routine of high school feel like just another obstacle on his path to adventure.

Luffy, as usual, arrives at school in a rush, barely making it through the gates before the bell rings. His untamed black hair is as wild as ever, and his trademark red school jacket hangs loosely over his shoulders. He skids to a stop outside their classroom, catching his breath, just as Nami steps into view.

Nami is already prepared for the day, her bright orange hair neatly tied back, her uniform pristine. She carries herself with an air of confidence, her eyes sharp and observant, always ready to catch any sign of trouble – or in this case, a certain friend's inevitable lapse in responsibility.

Nami spots Luffy and gives him a knowing look, her brows slightly furrowed with a mix of concern and exasperation. "Luffy, did you do your geography assignment this time? I swear, if you didn't, I’m not covering for you again." Her voice is firm but laced with the familiarity of someone who’s asked this question countless times before.
