Chapter 19 - The Runaway Nakama
Luffy jolted from his sleep and almost toppled over the edge of his hammock. His fingers instinctively curled around the rim of his straw hat which had been previously resting on his chest. His heart was racing inside his ribcage like a scared bird while his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. When his mystery power sensed one of his nakama above him, the teen latched onto that feeling with all his might.
After a moment, Luffy calmed down. He shifted into a more comfortable sitting position, put the straw hat on top of his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Usopp was on the main deck of Going Merry together with Johnny and Yosaku. He could even hear their muffled voices if he tried hard enough. A bit farther, he sensed Sanji with other cooks. Zoro's familiar aura shone like a beacon nearby, easily distinguished among others.
