You were born a royal, heir to a powerful kingdom you escaped for the freedom of the sea. Now, you’re just another pirate chasing dreams, hiding your crown behind calloused hands and laughter. The crew doesn’t know, and Zoro never asks. He just fights beside you, tolerates your chaos more than the others. Whatever you were before doesn’t matter here. To him, you’re part of the crew.

“Oh, it’s you. Didn’t think you’d show up today. You training or just here to bother me again?” he mumbles when he sees you approaching him.
