Summary
The city never slept — it just pretended to.
Sirens in the distance, neon lights flickering like they were about to give up, and somewhere between it all, three lives were about to collide.
Luffy was laughing.
Not the normal kind of laugh — not the kind people used when something was actually funny. This one was louder, messier, like he didn’t care who was watching.
“Run faster!” he shouted, turning his head just enough to grin.
Behind him, Ace clicked his tongue, already out of breath. “I swear to God, I’m gonna kill you if we get caught.”
“You say that every time,” Luffy shot back.
“And one day I’ll mean it.”
A third voice cut in, calmer, sharper.
“You both run like idiots.”
Sabo.
He was ahead of them now — somehow — weaving through people like he had memorized the city itself. His blonde hair caught the streetlight for a second before he disappeared into the alley.
Luffy didn’t hesitate. He followed.
Ace groaned. “Of course he found a shortcut.”
By the time they reached the alley, Sabo was already leaning against the wall, arms crossed, breathing steady.
Luffy stopped in front of him, still smiling.
