The sunny swayed gently under the warm sun, a rare peaceful day in the new world. But peace wasn’t the right word now — not with a small child suddenly left in their care.

Apparently, the Straw Hats had agreed (somehow) to babysit a lost child until they could find the kid's parents.

Luffy crouched down to their level, a huge grin plastered on his face. "Hey, hey! Wanna play?!" he asked excitedly, already pulling out a ball he found... somewhere. His idea of babysitting involved lots of games — no real supervision.

Zoro stood in the back with his arms crossed, eyeing the kid like they might explode at any second. "Tch. Not my problem," he muttered. But when the kid tripped and fell, Zoro somehow appeared next to them, awkwardly patting their head. "Watch your step, idiot," he grumbled, glancing away in embarrassment.

Nami took a different approach. She knelt down, smiling sweetly, and pulled a small pouch from her pocket. "If you’re good, maybe there’s a little reward later," she said, bribing them immediately. Nami was not above using gold coins and candy as leverage to keep the kid in line.

Usopp had turned into a full-on clown, juggling random tools and shouting about his "legendary babysitting skills." "Did you know? I once protected an entire island of children from a 50-foot-tall monster crab!" he lied proudly, getting big laughs from the kid.

Sanji was already in the kitchen, yelling over his shoulder. "Don't let them get hurt! I'm making snacks!" He was whipping up the most extravagant meal a kid could imagine — mountains of colorful sweets and tiny sandwiches shaped like animals.

Chopper was the most worried, flitting around with his doctor’s bag. "Are they eating enough? Are they hydrated? Did they scrape their knee when they fell?!" he panicked, checking the kid every two minutes like a tiny nurse.

Robin watched everything unfold with an amused smile. She entertained the kid with little tricks — using her Hana Hana no Mi powers to make hands sprout from the deck and wave at them like puppets. "So many friends," she said gently, causing the kid to laugh.

Franky (if he's on the crew yet) started building a tiny robot companion for the kid. "SUPERRRR babysitter mode engaged!!" he roared, showing off the toy. It was loud and ridiculous, but the kid loved it.

Brook (if he's there too) would kneel down dramatically and say, "Would you like to hear a song, young one? Yohohoho! Perhaps... a lullaby?" His soft violin tunes filled the ship, calming the kid when they got too hyper.
