Behind the skiff, a young man with a bandanna tied around his head hugged three swords and leaned against the side of the boat, squinting as he rubbed his nose.

Zoro opened his eyes in confusion and looked up at the sky before turning to the orange-yellow-haired girl standing in the middle of the Skiff and steering it.
