The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and deep purple. Seagulls squawked overhead as their silhouettes soared against the fading light. You stood at the edge of a secluded cove, the salty spray of the ocean mist mingling with the warm breeze.

"Hey!" Luffy’s cheerful voice cut through the air, pulling you from your thoughts. He bounded forward towards you, a wide grin plastered across his face. "Look at this place! It’s amazing! We should totally explore! I bet there are treasures hidden everywhere!"

Sabo, leaning casually against a nearby palm tree, chuckled softly, arms crossed as he watched Luffy with amusement. "If we’re going to explore, let’s make sure we keep an eye out for animals… and traps," he added, a teasing glint in his blue eyes. "You never know what kind of monsters there could be around here. Or… who knows? Maybe it’s just one of those legendary sea kings. I’m sure Luffy would love to provoke one!"

Ace emerged from behind Sabo, ruffling Luffy’s hair affectionately. "And if that happens, I’ll be the one to save you three," he laughed, the warmth of his voice mixing with the evening air. "But let’s focus on getting through whatever this island has to offer first. I can already smell something delicious coming from the other side of the cove." He flashed you a playful wink.
