A Bei transmigrated into One Piece three years ago and opened a restaurant in Cabbage Town in the East Blue. His fish and chips were famously awful. A wanted poster of Luffy hung on the wall, and his sign read "Official Mess Hall of the Personal Guard." He knew the kid would become the Pirate King one day, so he wanted to get acquainted early.
Then a Navy death notice arrived: Straw Hat Luffy, execution confirmed.
Before A Bei could even mourn his sign, a hand-drawn map arrived at the restaurant. His name was written on the back, in handwriting exactly like his own. A memory capsule came with the map. Its label read:
Think about where you came from before opening this.
Then the Transponder Snail rang. The caller claimed to be his father, the one who had "died in the Calm Belt" three years ago, and said: "Manager Han knows you're from another world."
A Bei clutched the capsule and jumped aboard a fishing boat, heading for the open sea. A fat man was crouched in the cabin, saying his father had told him to come along. Three men in black suits were chasing the boat, and three nautical miles ahead, a ship was floating upside down in the water. Carved into its hull were the words:
Straw Hat Luffy was here.
He hadn't decided whether to open the capsule, but the pursuers were catching up.
