As the Sea is Hungry

When Makino was a child, her grandmother told her stories of sea kings. "They can look different," she said, "with crab legs or snake scales or whale flukes, but they are always sea kings, the same way a land king is a monarch whether he wears the clothes of a prince or a pauper. They can trick you sometimes too, because the worst of them all are the ones that walk on two legs like us."Her grandmother would have wanted Luffy drowned, returned to the ocean from whence he came.But he was her child, and somehow that mattered more than anything else.
