"LET'S GO!"
Luffy yelled out in excitement as the Straw Hats pirates strolled to the front of the ship and gazed forward in hopes of seeing the grandline.
BO~
"Hmm... did you hear something?" Zoro asked.
"I did, it sounded like a cry" Kaito answered.
"Maybe it's the wind... I guarantee that you will find a very different atmosphere" Nami stated.
Luffy just told them to shrug it off and continued to shout in excitement at the prospect of sailing in the grandline. They all smiled and chuckled at their captain's antics as they stopped worrying about it.
BO~
"There it is again!" Kaito exclaimed in surprise.
This time the Straw Hats couldn't ignore it anymore as Usopp used his goggles to see what was ahead of them.
Although the ahead of them was covered in fog, they were able to somewhat see a mountain blocking their path and exclaimed in confusion at the fact of how a mountain appeared in front of them.
"Huh!?" Luffy exclaimed.
The fog was finally cleared and saw that their assumption was wrong since it wasn't a mountain but a gigantic whale.
They all exclaimed in panic and shock as they try to figure out a way to stop the ship from crashing at the whale.
The Straw Hats discussed ideas when they suddenly realized that the whale might not be able to see them as they planned to get through the left passage.
"But the rudder is broken!"
"We have to do something!"
They were desperate to do something to avoid the disaster that is right in front of them as Luffy shouted suddenly with a wide smile.
"Yes, I've got a good idea!"
Luffy yelled as he ran towards the front while the rest were trying to move the rudder to the left as the ship slowly close in on the giant whale's body.
BOOM~
Everyone gasped in panic and nervousness when they saw the cannonball hit the whale as the ship's momentum stopped due to the impact of the cannon.
Although it managed to avoid the ship from crashing violently at the whale, it still broke the front bow and fell to the deck.
"MY SPECIAL SEAT!?" Luffy shouted in anger.
"This is a nightmare... we are going to die" Nami muttered in despair.
The Straw Hats stopped panicking when they saw that the whale wasn't responding to the cannon as the others hurried their way to row the ship.
BO~
"Damn... my ears hurt now that we are close to it!" Kaito commented in annoyance.
"Ouch! that sound is breaking my ear!" Usopp stated in a pained tone.
"No time to complain! We need to row so we can get away from this guy!" Sanji shouted in panic.
While the others were trying their best to row away as fast as possible, Luffy stood up and face the whale directly with an infuriated look.
"Eh?" Nami blurted when he saw Luffy.
"You... destroyed my special seat!" Luffy stated as he stretched his arms and punched at the whale's eyes.
The punch hit the whale's eyes directly as it seems to have no effect on it at all.
"YOU IDIOT!" Everyone shouted in unison at him.
The whale's eyelids started to move down as it looked directly at them.
"Damn, he's looking at us" Kaito stated as he cursed their luck.
"Come and get a piece of me, you stupid whale!" Luffy yelled out in anticipation.
"SHUT UP!" Both Zoro and Usopp shouted as they kicked him.
While they were trying to shut Luffy up, the whale had already stopped facing up and was now facing them as it opened its mouth and sucked them.
AAAHHHHHH~
Luffy was thrown off the ship while the others were now inside the stomach of the whale as Luffy stretched his arms towards the whale's head.
"I WON'T DIE HERE!"
...
Inside Laboon
"Is this a dream?" Sanji asked in a disbelief tone.
"Yeah, it's probably a dream" Zoro answered with a dumbfounded look.
"Well, this is one interesting dream then" Kaito commented with an amused look.
What the Straw hats are seeing are blue skies and a small tropical island with a small house on it as they gazed at it with amazement and a dumbfounded look.
"Then, what're the island and house doing there?" Nami inquired.
"They must be illusions" Zoro stated with an uncertain look.
Out of nowhere, a gigantic squid emerged out of the water in front of them as paused and looked at the squid with an even more dumbfounded look.
"Then this is..." Nami stuttered.
"...a Great King Squid!" Both Nami and Usopp yelled out at the same time.
Kaito, Sanji and Zoro immediately prepared for a battle with seriousness when three harpoons suddenly pierced the squid at its back.
Thud~ Splash~
The gigantic squid died shortly when it was pierced as it slowly fell into the waters which created small waves.
"Looks like there's at least someone there" Zoro stated.
"Well, it's only normal considering there's a house on the island" Kaito remarked.
"I just hope it's really a person..." Sanji said.
The trio went on alert immediately as they didn't know whether the person who fired the harpoons would be an enemy or a friend.
"I've had enough... I wanna go home." Nami stated with teary eyes.
"Luffy went somewhere, too... what's gonna happen to us?" Usopp asked as he cried in tears.
While the two were rambling about their regrets and life choices, they all paused as they saw a silhouette of a person slowly walking out of the house.
"A ship..."
A bald old man stated as he walked out of the house with white hair and yellow flower petal-like things around his bald head.
"A flower!?" All of them exclaimed in confusion.
