Luffy's group began racing down the mountain in an attempt to escape from the avalanche, which was thundering down the mountain after them. "YOU DUMBSHIT!" Sanji yelled. "WHY'D YOU HAVE TO CAUSE AN AVALANCHE!?"
"SHUT UP! I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE!" Greg yelled back.
"RUN YOU GUYS!" Luffy yelled as they kept on running.
"Over there!" Sanji yelled as he looked to see a small cliff above where the snow was. They raced towards it and managed to get onto it, only to have the snow climb higher than them and push them off. Luffy managed to grab Sanji and Greg in mid-air before jumping onto a tree as they were now snowboarding down the mountain, along with a bunch of lapahns.
"Are they gonna try and kill us again?!" Greg yelled.
"If they do, I'll kill them!" Sanji yelled before they all noticed another cliff right in front of them with broken trees on it. "SHIT! IF THE WOMEN HIT THAT, THEY'RE DEAD!" "ANY IDEAS!?" Greg yelled.
"JUST ONE!" Luffy yelled before grabbing Sanji and Greg by the back of their coats before jumping off the tree...and kept on jumping. "MOONWALK!" Greg and Sanji, who hadn't seen this before, were now staring at the ground as Luffy was now jumping in place as the avalanche moved under them.
"HOW ARE YOU FUCKING DOING THIS?!" they both shouted at Luffy, who only grinned back. It took awhile, but the avalanche finally stopped before Luffy jumped down to the snow and set Sanji and Greg down.
"Come on guys!" Luffy said with a smile before walking back up the mountain.
"How'd he do that?!" Greg asked.
"No idea." Sanji said before lighting a cigarette to calm himself down. "But he's right. We gotta get moving." he said before they both went after Luffy. -Back in Big Horn-
The avalanche had covered the whole village to the point where only the tips of the houses could be seen. It was silent until a giant mouth burst up through the snow.
"BLEGH!" Wapol said before spitting Chess, Kuromarimo, and Robson out. "You guys taste awful!" He went on how it must've been the rest of the Straw Hats who went up the mountain earlier who must've done this before scowling as he said he would show them how to fight in the snow country. After Wapol and his two lackeys mounted Robson, Wapol found a few of his men and ordered them to spread the word to the rest of his men that they were to find and capture the Straw Hats still in Big Horn for him to devour later before heading off towards Drum Castle.
-Somewhere in the mountains-
The baby lapahn from earlier was desperately digging at the snow where a giant paw was sticking out from. His little paws were red with pain, yet he kept digging before hearing the snow crunch behind him. He turned to see Luffy's group walking towards him before growling at them. They stopped in front of him as they stared down at him for a moment before Luffy reached for him. The baby lapahn covered his head and closed his eyes, only to open them a moment later and see Luffy pulling the adult lapahn out of the snow. Luffy let the lapahn goes as the baby hugged it while Luffy's group kept on walking.
"Why'd you help that lapahn?" Greg asked.
"If I hadn't, the baby would've been all alone." Luffy said. "Being alone...is painful." Neither Greg nor Sanji said anything about that as they kept walking.
"FOUND YOU!" came a voice behind them. They looked behind to see Wapol and his men approaching before stopping in front of them. "Now I've got you bastards!" Wapol yelled before going on about how he would chew them to pieces until Luffy and his friends walked right past him. "HEY!"
"Sorry man, but we're busy." Greg said. "These ladies need a doctor so bye." Sanji said. Wapol looked infuriated at them before looking at Chess.
"Chess! New law! Anyone who ignores the king dies!" he yelled. "Kill those ladies since they've been ignoring me the most!"
"What?!" Sanji and Greg said before glaring at them.
"Yes Lord Wapol!" said his men before they started attacking. Luffy and Greg ran while Sanji did his best to fight back before running with them.
"This is their turf!" Sanji growled as they kept running. "I can't fight them!"
"I'd fight, but I might start another avalanche!" Greg yelled.
"Keep going!" Luffy ordered before Wapol jumped out of the snow next to them. "Watch out!" he yelled before all three jumped, only to see Wapol's men jump out of the snow and ready to kill. Sanji and Greg looked on horror while Luffy grinned under his hat as he sensed the lapahns approach before swatting Chess and Kuromarimo away.
"Lapahn?!" Wapol yelled.
"Did they just protect them?" Kuromarimo asked as he got back up.
"No way! Lapahns never help humans! They're wild animals!" Chess argued. Luffy, Greg, and Sanji looked back and stared at the lapahn with a scar near it's left eye with the baby on it's shoulder.
"Is that?" Sanji said before both lapahns raised and pumped their arms.
"Thanks giant rabbits!" Luffy shouted before they took off running, leaving the lapahns to deal with Wapol and his men. They kept on going for what seemed like hours as the wind blew against them until they finally came to the base of the giant mountain. "We made it to the mountain." Sanji said as he looked up with a grim look as a thought crossed his mind. "Now...how are we gonna get up there?"
"No way we can climb this." Greg said.
"I can." Luffy said after kicking off his sandals.
"Are you crazy?!" Sanji asked. "There's nothing to grab onto to climb up!"
"Yes there is." Luffy said after finding some tiny ridges on the mountain before climbing up effortlessly a few feet before looking back at them. "Grab on."
"Grab on?" Greg asked. "To what?!"
"My feet." Luffy said while his fingers turned black.
"You've gotta be joking!" Greg yelled. "No...he's not joking." Sanji said, knowing the serious look in Luffy's eyes.
"Hurry up you two." said Luffy as he looked up the mountain. "We gotta get Nami and Grace to the doctor." Sanji just looked at his captain before sighing and grabbing his left leg.
"If you fall, I'm gonna kill you before we hit the bottom." Sanji said.
"You are crazy!" Greg said, now thinking the whole crew was as mad as the captain before grabbing onto Luffy's right leg. "How are you gonna-" he started saying before he felt himself going up the mountain at a steady pace.
"See?" Luffy said with a grin. "We'll get there, no problem."
