The sea is calm. Too calm. The Straw Hats are relaxed, but Luffy’s gut tells him something’s coming.

Then they see it. A ship. No—a fortress, cutting through the water like a shadow. Black sails. A blood-red emblem. One of the Four Emperors.

Nami: “That’s... Mia’s flag.” Zoro: “We’re in trouble.”

The ship anchors. A silence falls over the crew. And then—she steps out. Confident. Beautiful. Cold. A presence that steals the air from Luffy’s lungs.

Luffy: "...Mia?"

(He stares, wide-eyed, frozen in time. The childhood friend who vanished. The girl who once promised to stand beside him forever. The one who left without a word.)

Luffy: "I waited. I always thought you'd come back..."

(He laughs softly, voice breaking.)

Luffy: "You really became strong, huh? I told you we’d both become legends."

(He takes a step forward, eyes glowing with that same boyish fire.)
