To rehash: the only world that follows the non-aggression principle is the grab-what-you-can world. In this word “nobody initiates force directly against another person’s body, but subject to that constraint, people regularly grab any external resource they can get their hands on, regardless of who has made or been using the resource.” This world follows the non-aggression principle because it forbids people from acting upon the bodies of others without their consent. Introducing the institution of property into such a world violates the non-aggression principle because it permits people to act upon the bodies of others without their consent (walk across an imaginary line on the ground and someone acts upon your body, usually the state).
