In her dream, she was standing on the shore of a vast, crystal-blue sea. She could feel the waves lapping against her feet and the cool salty breeze on her skin. Suddenly, she heard a voice calling her from the depths of the sea.

She looked around to find the source and saw a woman standing at the edge of the waves. The woman had the same features as her, but she was much older and had a calm, wise presence.

The woman had a bright silver afro and was wearing a majestic dress that sparkled in the sunlight. The fabric was a deep blue and golden pattern, with intricate details and patterns that seemed to swirl and move with the waves.

The woman smiled at her and said, "Come find me. I am waiting for you."

Confused, she asked, "Who are you? Where are you?" The woman only smiled and said, "You will know when you find me."

"Just remember, keep your family close but your enemies closer,"

She was about to ask another question when the woman suddenly disappeared.

The dream left her feeling both confused and intrigued. Who was this woman and what did she want? She was determined to find out.

She was sure of one thing: she was going to make sure she kept her enemies close.

It was the second day of Luffy being in prison at the hands of Zara Vaughan. He was going to be sentenced to death for the crime of being a pirate. She had been assigned to guard him until his execution.

She woke up earlier than usual, unable to sleep due to the thought of Luffy's execution.

Zara got up from her bed and slowly walked to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face with cold water. She then took a bath and changed into her Marine uniform. After getting dressed, she brushed her hair back and used some gel to keep it in place.

She then changed the gloves that she wore to sleep and slipped on her white gloves, taking a deep breath.

She was ready to start the day and left her quarters to check on Luffy.

Still being early in the morning, the Marine had come to the prison. She strode confidently through the prison gates, her uniform crisp and her eyes scanning the area for any sign of trouble. She was determined to take her job seriously and make sure nothing went wrong.

Zara had no intention of letting Luffy escape or let anyone else break into or out of the prison. She was determined to do her duty and ensure that the sentence would be carried out.

Luffy had been sleeping soundly when Zara stood in front of his cell, her expression unreadable as she took in the sight of the pirate.

Since she was too early, she went to the cafeteria to have breakfast before she started her shift. She ate a quick breakfast and then headed back to the prison area. She made sure that the area was secure and then started her guard duty for the day.

Coming back to Luffy's cell, she stared at his sleeping state for a few moments before bringing a chair to sit beside the jail cell.

After a few minutes, Zara's eyes began to feel heavy and she eventually succumbed to her exhaustion, dozing off as she leaned against the chair. She was so tired from her shift the night before.

It was until some time later that Luffy awoke to find Zara fast asleep, her head on her shoulder and her chest rising and falling softly with each breath.
