The sea train surged forward, its wheels clattering against the tracks with an intensity that seemed to match the heightened emotions onboard. Inside, the air buzzed with excitement as the rest of the Straw Hats, now reunited leaned in, their eyes fixed on the dramatic figure posing in the middle of the cabin.

“Sogeking... from Sniper Island?!” Luffy and Chopper exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with awe.

“That’s correct.” Sogeking struck a flamboyant pose, his cape fluttering slightly as if it had a life of its own.

“I am a friend of Usopp-kun,” Sogeking continued, his voice dripping with heroic confidence. “He asked me to lend you a hand in these dire circumstances, so here I am!”

“He... he’s a hero!” Luffy gawked, his eyes sparkling with admiration. “I thought he might be, because of the cape! Awesome! I’ve never seen a real hero before!”

Chopper’s cheeks flushed pink as he nodded fervently. “I see it now! He’s a hero because he has a cape! That’s so cool!”

“That’s right,” Luffy said, nodding sagely. “Cape buffalo are heroes too.”

“For real?!” Chopper’s jaw dropped in amazement.

“That’s not how it works,” Sanji muttered, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Zoro leaned against the wall, his arms crossed. He stared at Sogeking, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. Well, if it isn’t Usopp, he thought, but said nothing.

Nami crossed her arms, her expression softening as her thoughts wandered. I’m glad Usopp’s okay, she mused.

A Franky Family member stared at Sogeking with recognition. “It’s the long-nosed guy who got into the Franky house,” he whispered to himself.

Meanwhile, Luffy extended his hand enthusiastically. “Nuh... nuh... nice to meet you!”

Sogeking grasped it firmly, shaking it with exaggerated pride. “And you, sir.”

“May I have your autograph?!” Chopper squealed, holding out a piece of paper and a pen.

“Of course,” Sogeking said graciously, signing with a dramatic flourish.

As the moment of awe settled, Luffy tilted his head curiously. “So… where’d Usopp go?”

Sogeking waved a hand dismissively. “Don’t worry, he’s safe. There’s absolutely no need to worry about him. He told me to pour all my energies into saving Robin-kun and then left.”

“Yeah! We need to do that!” Luffy grinned, his determination reigniting.

Y/N raised an eyebrow. “Where is Sniper Island, anyway?”

Sogeking turned slowly, his mask glinting in the light. He raised his arms dramatically as if summoning the power of the universe. “It is... inside... your heart.”

“Heart...” Luffy and Chopper murmured, their eyes widening in awe.

“Where, again?” Nami muttered, watching the absurd scene unfold.

“See?!” Y/N turned to Sanji, grinning as a faint blush crept across his face. “Only heroes say that sappy stuff!”

But Sanji paid no mind, instead he finally spoke up. “Nami-san.”

Nami turned toward him. “What is it, Sanji-kun?”

“And also… all you other idiots,” Sanji added, exhaling smoke as his tone grew serious. “Before we save Robin… there’s something I want to tell you.”
