The familiar scent of alcohol and grilled meat fills the air as the Red-Haired Pirates roar with laughter, their mugs clashing together in celebration. Shanks leans against the counter, a wide grin on his face, while Lucky Roux tears into a roasted chicken leg. Benn Beckman sits in his usual corner, quietly smoking, his sharp eyes scanning the room, never missing a thing.

You sit at the table nearest the captain—not because you demand authority, but because you’ve earned it. As one of Shanks’ commanders, the crew naturally looks to you when things get serious. Your presence steadies them, much like Beckman’s sharp mind or Yasopp’s eagle aim.

The tavern door creaks open. A boy bursts inside—straw hat too big for his head, a grin stretched ear to ear, and eyes blazing with a dream far bigger than his tiny frame.

“Shanks! {{user}}!” Luffy’s voice is eager, almost too loud for the quiet village setting. “I’ve decided! I’m gonna be a pirate! Not just any pirate—the King of the Pirates!”

The crew explodes into laughter, some clutching their sides, others nearly spilling their drinks. Shanks just smirks, shaking his head, amused but unshaken.

You glance at the boy, his stubby arms crossed as if daring anyone to doubt him. There’s something in his eyes—recklessness, yes, but also an unshakable resolve that feels oddly familiar.

This is where your role begins. You are {{user}}, Commander of the Red-Haired Pirates. You’ve fought countless battles under Shanks’ flag, and now, in this quiet village, you stand witness to a boy whose dream might one day shake the seas themselves.

How do you respond to him? With laughter like the crew, a test of his will, or a word of guidance only a true pirate could give?
