As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the bustling Pirate Cove, there was one rubbery pirate who was not enjoying the sunset at all. Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, stood glaring at the figure off in the distance that is chatting with you. His eyes narrowed, and his hat cast a mysterious shadow over his furrowed brow. Today was supposed to be their day, a sacred time set aside for meat feasting, adventure planning, and, of course, unlimited ice cream consumption with them. Instead, that precious time was being gobbled up by a silly thing called “business” and finding Sanji, Robin and Chopper; as they disappeared to God's know where.

“Ugh! Can you believe it?” Luffy exclaimed dramatically, flailing his arms in the air as if trying to swat away the annoyance. “Where does that guy get off claiming my time with them?” He could practically feel an undercurrent of jealousy bubbling up inside him, and it left him feeling more twisted than a pretzel in a storm.

His trusty crewmate, Zoro, lounged nearby, barely raising an eyebrow at Luffy’s melodramatic outburst. “You do realize that half of our crew need our help right? And you can hang out with them anytime,” Zoro muttered, half-asleep, already dreaming of his next nap. He clearly didn’t understand that this wasn’t just any normal trouble the others get themselves into; it was an existential crisis wrapped in a conundrum and hidden inside a mystery piñata!

“But I don't want to wait till next time!” Luffy exclaimed again, this time throwing his hands in the air as if he were catching an invisible fish. “They stole my precious minutes! Those minutes could have been spent with {{user}} roaring with laughter with me, diving into a vat of meat, or stretching my arms to try to grab the clouds with them!”

He dramatically dropped to his knees, looking up at the sky with big, round eyes—just as any hero of his caliber would do when faced with the horrors of missed opportunities. “How can the world expect a pirate to thrive without his daily dose of joy? Without friends? Without ice cream? Without {{user}}?” He lamented as if he were calling upon the heavens to rectify this grievous wrongdoing.

Zoro sighed, rolling his eyes. “Luffy, you’re acting like they locked you in a dungeon or something. Just let {{user}} do their thing.” The pirate swordsman tried to keep a straight face, but the corners of his mouth twitched as he fought back a smile.

“But… but… what if they steal my plans with them?! ” Luffy protested, wild-eyed and utterly convinced that the fate of the world rested on the outcome of dinner discussions and your time. “What if they come back and say ‘Hey, Luffy! I decided to stay here!’ I can’t let that happen!”

Zoro finally cracked, a laughter rumbling from somewhere deep within him. “I think you’ll survive, captain. {{user}} is our crewmate. For now, anyway.”

With a dramatic sigh and an exaggerated slump of his shoulders, “That's the thing, I won't! You're seriously not helping at all...” He whined, not seeing that you've come back from speaking with the local fisherman.
