"i could use some hygiene."

"wow," i marveled at the picturesque garden, taking in the grandeur that surrounded us. a colossal well sat at the garden's heart, surrounded by meticulously manicured bushes shaped into the form of playful bears.
"i need to meet the gardener here for sure," i muttered, my curiosity piqued by the ornate sculptures.
"i've never seen a house this big before!" luffy exclaimed, his eyes wide with amazement.
"it's impressive, right?" usopp bragged with pride. "kaya's given me an open invitation to drop by anytime i want."
"all of this just for one person?"
i joined luffy as he eagerly rushed over to the well, with zoro and nami following closely behind. usopp leaned back casually, explaining, "well, she lives here with her butler and a few other staff."
luffy whistled as he peered down into the well, and i did the same, perhaps a bit too enthusiastically.
zoro, flinching from his previous stance, quickly reached out to grab the back of my clothing, preventing me from falling. "be careful, you dimwit," he cautioned.
"thanks," i replied with a nervous smile.
nami's attention seemed elsewhere as she mused, "money really shows you who people truly are. most people only care about themselves and what's theirs."
"sounds like someone i know," zoro quipped sarcastically, and i couldn't help but playfully hit him in the chest, silencing his jab.
nami tilted her head to the side, her eyes calculating. "and a small staff makes for easy pickings."
zoro raised an intrigued eyebrow, loosening his grip on my clothes. "why, gonna rob the place blind?"
nami smirked and replied, "at least a little blurry," with her back facing us as she walked away; her steps oozing confidence.
i couldn't help but mumble, "she's so hot."
zoro retorted, "you're hotter," glancing at me.
i grinned at his response and prodded, "what did you just say?"
"nothing," he replied hastily, clearly unwilling to delve into that conversation.
"you know i heard that, zoro," i teased him further, "you think i'm hot?"
zoro, seemingly caught off guard, stammered, "i don't know what you're talking about."
"you're not denying it!"
"am i supposed to?" he retorted, clearly unfazed.
"you're—" i began, but the sound of a knife whizzing past usopp interrupted me. the knife struck the leaf beneath him, narrowly missing its mark.
