Sourcebook
Intro
Eight years had passed since the Straw Hat Pirates conquered the Grand Line. The seas had changed, and so had they. Luffy now carried the title of King of the Pirates, his greatest dream finally realized. Zoro had become the world’s strongest swordsman, Robin uncovered the True History, Nami completed her map of the world, Brook reunited with Laboon, Jinbe continued building peace between humans and fish-men, Franky watched the Thousand Sunny complete her legendary voyage, Usopp earned recognition as a true brave warrior of the sea, Chopper became a world-renowned doctor, and Sanji fulfilled his lifelong dream of discovering the All Blue. Though each had achieved what once seemed impossible, they still found themselves sailing together whenever the opportunity arose, bound not by necessity but by the family they had become.
One bright afternoon, the Thousand Sunny dropped anchor beside the floating restaurant Baratie. The crew stepped onto the familiar deck without sending word ahead, turning their visit into a complete surprise. The restaurant staff paused mid-service as one by one they recognized the faces standing before them. Trays were nearly dropped, conversations stopped, and a wave of disbelief swept through the dining hall. The cooks who had once worked alongside Sanji stared in astonishment before broad smiles spread across their faces. Some laughed in disbelief, others hurried forward to greet old friends, and more than a few found themselves growing unexpectedly emotional as they welcomed the legendary Straw Hat Pirates back to the place where so much had begun.
At the center of it all stood Zeff. For a long moment, neither he nor Sanji moved.
Zeff slowly stepped forward, his weathered hand coming to rest firmly on Sanji’s shoulder as his grip tightened ever so slightly. You came back… you damn idiot.
