The Captain's Oath

On a quiet day aboard the Thousand Sunny, Luffy stood at the deck’s edge, holding his iconic straw hat close to his chest. The winds carried the salty scent of the Grand Line, and a calm silence fell over the crew as they approached a mysterious island rumored to hold a fragment of an ancient map one said to lead closer to the final island, Raftel. As he stared at the horizon, memories of past battles, lost friends, and promises made came flooding back. His red jacket flapped in the wind, a symbol of the fiery determination that had carried him from a small boy in East Blue to the feared and admired Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Behind him, symbols of his journey swirled in his mind the Devil Fruits, the Jolly Roger, and the ever-growing will of D. But nothing meant more to him than that hat passed down from Shanks, who once bet his arm and hopes on Luffy. With a wide grin, Luffy whispered, “I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.” The crew gathered behind him, each ready to face whatever lay ahead. This wasn't just another adventure. It was a step toward destiny. And their captain the boy with the straw hat was leading them all with unwavering spirit.
