Cold. The first thing he noticed beside the pounding headache was the freezing temperature surrounding him. He had a hard time seeing due to the lack of light. Maybe he got stuck in a cave? His body feels numb like the time he woke up after the battle with Kuma to find that he was unable to move. This time is different because there is no Chopper around to tell him to take it easy, or luffy boisterous laughing telling him that he missed their party. Where are the others? He remembered the crew stopped at an island after 3 days of drifting in the sea. Luffy was so excited that he jumped on shore the second Franky dropped the anchor. He remembered Nami shouting at the captain and demanding him to follow his captain in case he decided to invite some weirdo to the crew or get himself in trouble. Darn it, he was planning to take a nap in this perfect sunny weather, not following his over hyperactive captain around like a god damn babysitter. Oh well, better to look after him. Last time he didn't come with him, and he brought a skeleton back. Not that he had anything against Brook. Hell, he was glad to finally have someone on the crew who has the same sword loving passion as he is. But still, a skeleton?
Fifteen minutes exploring the island and all they saw was trees. So far they haven't seen animals or even birds in this island. Luffy was starting to get bored and he hate to admit it, but a hyper luffy is still better than a bored Luffy. He had enough with his annoying whining. Suddenly it got really quiet around him. wait, where the hell is the idiot? Dammit how many times does he need to tell them not to go around by themselves because they are always ended up getting lost. Just as he was about to go look for his captain, he can feel it. There is a killing intent aura in the air and years of experience on the grand line told him that something out there is watching his every move with the intent to kill.
The ground underneath him rumble and he leaping backward, ready to strike whatever come out from underneath the ground. Multiple vines shooting out from the ground, and he can make out the humongous shape of the plant ten times the size of the Thousand Sunny. It mouth open wide and he got a glimpse of it sharp teeth before the thing slash it vines full of thorn at him. Taking down half of the entire tree population on his right side. No wonder there wasn't any animal on this island. they are probably got eaten by this carnivore plant. Thing got downhill from there since more of those plant are shooting from underground and he is at a disadvantage. He had a trouble fighting seven or eight of them at the same time. Where the hell if luffy when he need him.
