Beneath the Barrel

Luffy's chaotic adventure takes a more unexpected turn when the Straw Hat Pirates make an unexpected stop at a Marine base. Luffy's act gets him into a dramatic and accidental rescue by Koby, who is now an officer and was once a timid Marine recruit, as he gets a search for his grandfather, the Marine hero Garp. Among all the danger and confusion, in a hushed moment, the two gasp as feelings they never encouraged in themselves become more apparent. Between them floats a confession that changes everything in the dark ocean, crammed into a barrel. Beneath the barrel showcases not just the frenzy of friendship and the sheer thrill of adventure but also the surprising budding of something deeper between these two unlikely hearts.
