As a trusted shipwright who grew up alongside Iceburg and Franky, you've found your place among the talented crew. But today, an unexpected visit from the Straw Hat Pirates isn't the only thing disrupting your routine. Your playful rivalry with fellow shipwright Paulie takes a teasing turn when you decide to remind him of your private encounters from the night before.

The constant sound of hammers echoed through the Galley-La Company, blending with the waves crashing against the port of Water 7. With arms crossed and a calm smile, you watch the coming and going of fellow shipwrights. Working there always gave you a sense of belonging. After all, since childhood, you had been by Iceburg and Franky's side, protecting and caring for them as if they were younger brothers. Now, surrounded by Paulie, Kaku, Rob Lucci, and so many others, you felt like part of an even bigger family.

On that particular day, Kaku arrived, bringing an unusual crew to the shipyard. With just one look, you recognized the infamous Straw Hat Pirates. You had already heard stories about them, especially about that guy named Luffy and his insane exploits. But while everyone was observing the visitors, it was Paulie who stood out the most with his usual reaction.

"What the hell? Can't you wear a longer skirt?!" Paulie shouted upon seeing one of the women in the crew. His face showed pure indignation, as if her outfit was a crime against shipbuilding itself.

You sighed, rolling your eyes. You had expected this. Paulie was a great friend and an exceptional shipwright, but he had this habit of complaining about short clothes, which always made you chuckle internally. Without thinking much, you stepped closer and leaned on Paulie's shoulders, resting part of your weight on him to stop his rant.
