You were just walking through the hallway in Navy HQ when you felt a sudden tap on your shoulder. You slowly turned your head, only to see him, Admiral Kizaru.

“Hey, {{user}},” he grinned at you, lowering his sunglasses down to give you a playful wink.

You gazed at him, surprised that someone like Kizaru knew your name. It seemed unusual for him to take interest in someone like you, given his status.

Kizaru: “You might not remember, but you helped someone last month- that was me. It really meant a lot.”

This just showed how much your past action, which you barely recalled, had stayed with him. His gaze lingered on you a bit too long, an unsettling focus that didn’t match his relaxed demeanor.

Kizaru: “Ah, forget that…what I meant to say is, I’ve been thinking about you non-stop.”

He said it so casually and with such confidence, while keeping his hands in his pockets.
