(The Next Day On the Open Sea)
Back on the Going Merry, Nami was setting course for the Next unknown Island. Zoro was continuing his Exercises while Sanji, Ussop, Luffy, Cray and Robin were on the Deck, discussing on what kind of Island they will be heading to next.
Warning: May contain Spelling errors
"So Nami is the next island were going to a Snow Island?" Luffy said
"You want Snow Again?" Nami said in annoyance checking her Log Pose
"Well I hope its a Spring Island or something, I'm just about tired of going through Snow and Deserts for a while." Cray said scratching his head in annoyance
"the Records in Alubarna said that the next island is an Autumn Island " Robin said
"Autumn I like Autumn too." Luffy said
"is there anything you don't like?" Cray said
"Well...I don't like being Hungry." Luffy said in a thinking position
"That was a Rhetorical Question Luffy." Cray said
Then Suddenly something hit Cray on the top of the head.
"Ow. what was that?" Cray said looking up
what was what?" Sanji said
everyone looked and then started to notice tiny pieces falling on top of there ship.
What the hell? this isn't Rain." sanji said holding his arm out
"Is it Hail?" Ussop said
"I never heard of Brown Hail Before." Cray said
Cray Looked up He then went all bug eyed.
Uhh..guys WHAT IS THAT!?" Cray Yelled with bug eyes pointing up
everyone looked and noticed a Huge ship with a menacing figure head with Sharp Pointy teeth falling right towards them.
"IT"S A GIANT SHIP!" Nami yelled
"FALLING FROM THE SKY!?" Luffy yelled
The ship crashed right by them causing the Merry to Rock around violently on the Water
WAAAAAAAAAA!" everyone yelled
"QUICK EVERYONE GRAB A HOLD OF SOMETHING ON THE SHIP!" Zoro yelled
Everyone was holding onto Something to make sure there not knocked off the ship.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING THIS ISN"T HAPPENING!" Nami screamed holding onto the Mast
"It's Just a dream, I'm only having a nightmare thats's whats going on. and when I open my eyes it will all be over." Ussop said sitting trying to calm himself
"THERES STILL MORE DEBRIS FALLING!" Cray yelled
then something landed right by Ussop which scared the shit out of him.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH ITS A SKELETON!" Ussop screamed throwing the Skeleton Skull
DON'T THROW THIS DISGUSTING THING AT ME IDIOT!" Nami yelled tossing it at Cray.
"GROSS!" Cray yelled Tossing it at Sanji only for him to kick it into Pieces.
It just keeps coming!" Sanji yelled
...
After that Horrible Experience everyone then looked at what was in front there ship and then at the sky. there ship was covered in Debris including an old coffin that had a skeleton inside
"Why did a ship fall from the Air?!" Luffy said
"To Weird." Sanji said
"you said it. and here I thought things couldn't get any weirder." Cray said looking up
Oh no." Nami said looking at her Log Pose
What is it Nami?" Sanji said
"It's the Log Pose, I think it's broken..its only pointing up at the sky." Nami said staring at the Log Pose with Concern
"No...I don't think your Log pose is broken...It's tracking another Magnetic Field, and it's changing the Direction of the Pose. if it's pointing up..it must have locked onto...Sky Island." Robin said looking up.
"SKY ISLAND?!" Everyone yelled
Are you serious?" Nami said
"Theres a Floating island up there!?" Luffy yelled smiling
did that ship and Skeleton really fall from there!?" Ussop said
thats Ridiculous. I don;t see an island up there. all I see is just Clouds." Zoro said
""Thats not exactly how it works. It's not an island per say but an entire Ocean." Robin said
"Really no way." Nami said
WHAAAAA!" Luffy Ussop and chopper said in Awe.
"I'm still confused." Sanji said
" An entire Ocean existing above us?" Cray said Questioning
"YEAH! RAISE THE SAILS AND SET OUR COURSE FOR SKY ISLAND IS EVERYONE READY?!" Luffy yelled pointing up.
"PUT THE RUDDER DOWN AND POINT THE BOW HIGH INTO THE SKY!" Ussop yelled
"SKYWARD HO!" They Both yelled pointing up
"Uhhh did you guys forget that this ship can't fly?" Cray said sweating dropping
realization then hit Ussop and Luffy and they then started to cry.
"To tell you the truth All I know about sky island is word of mouth, rumor, I've never actually seen it." robin said
" of course not, because it's a Lie, Islands don;t float in the sky our log pose is broken thats all it is." Nami said
"Not quite miss navigator, your trying to fix something thats not even broken, we should be trying to find a way to get to sky island, you really need to learn to trust your instruments." Robin said
"This is the Grandline after all Nami, anything is possible." Cray said
"So you truly believe that an Island is floating in the sky?" Nami said questioning Cray
"after all the weird stuff we've seen, I can't really write it off completely." Cray said
Nami still had a Questioning look on her face.
"No matter how crazy things get or how weird the situation we get ourselves into is, never doubt the Log Pose, out here on the water this is one of the most steadfast and unbreakable rules. What we should be doubting is the common sense we all have that tells us an island cannot exist in the sky on an ocean of nothing...that needle is pointing towards an island I bet my life on it." Robin said
Robin was Checking the Skeleton that was in the Coffin that landed on the Deck of the Ship,
"thats disgusting digging through a dead mans clothes." Chopper said hiding behind the mast.
"You really think putting that skull together is going to tell us something?" Cray said to Robin
"don't know but I could use your help though by keeping this skull together." robin said piecing together the Skull.
"Fine." Cray said Making a Color glob in his hand.
"Your into some really weird stuff Robin." Sanji said
" any lady with a fascination for dead things is interesting in my book." Sanji said
"any lady no matter what, is interesting in your book Sanji." Cray said in a smartass tone.
Zoro then started to look around.
"wheres Luffy and Ussop?" Zoro said
Zoro looked and noticed Luffy and Ussop checking the slowly sinking ship.
"what kind of trouble are those two getting themselves into now?" Zoro said
"Probably the bad kind." chopper said
And There." Cray said
Robin then put the fully restored skull down, which seem to have three holes drilled into the crown.
"Looks good as new." Sanji said
"Yes except for the holes that are on the crown that came from an external source." Robin said
"Arrows maybe?" Cray said
" Not quite but good guess, these are from a medical procedure called Craterization, Am I right doctor?" Robin said
"Yes. an ancient one. they cut out a small hole or holes in the skull in order to constrain foreign masses like tumors, but that's a medical technique from a very long time ago." chopper said
"Knowing how old a technique like this is, I would say this person has been dead for at least 200 years. It must've been during his voyage that he finally succumbed to the Illness whatever it was, much more then the rest of his body the teeth are in surprisingly good condition, Because he rubbed tar on them, it was a common practice in the south blue to keep out bacterial infections and considering the history of that region my guess this man was from an exploratory party." Robin said
Robin then got up to get a book. Robin went through the pages and found a picture of a ship.
"Here it is, the St Briss from the Briss Kingdom they launched it as a scout ship 208 years ago." Robin said
"Yeah thats the ship that fell on us ." Nami said
" Yeah I recognize the figurehead." Zoro said
" it was probably sailing up there unmanned this whole time." Cray said
"Who would've thought that we could learn so much from old bones." Nami said
"I 'm sure you;ve heard that dead men tell no tales but the things that surround them does if this was a scouting party we should find evidence of that on the St Briss" Robin said
Yeah except that it's sinking like a rStone." Nami said looking said
SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Luffy yelled In the water
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT! YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T SWIM!" Nami yelled at Luffy
"Don't worry I got him! Snapper Hand!" Cray yelled launging the Blue sticky hand towards Luffy pulling him and Ussop back to the ship.
HEY GUYS YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND LOOK!" Luffy yelled opening the Map up.
"A MAP OF THE SKY ISLAND!?" everyone yelled
"It's called Skypeia?" Nami said holding the map.
"Thats right." Luffy said
"So there is an Island up there." Nami said
"YEAH! THE ISLANDS REAL! THE ISLANDS REAL! NEXT STOP SKY ISLAND!" Luffy Ussop and Chopper were jumping around with Joy
"Now hold on you guys even if theres an island up there we have no way of getting up there plus there are alot of fake maps. "Nami said
HUUUUUUUH!?" Luffy, ussop and chooper said looking at her with down faces.
"Wait that doesnlt mean that the map you got is fake but still..."WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING ON HOW TO GET THERE!" Nami yelled
"YOUR THE NAVIGATOR THINK OF SOMETHING!" Luffy yelled
"I CAN:T JUST THINK OF SOMETHING OUT OF THIN AIR WE HAVE NO IDEA WERE THIS PLACE IS!" Nami yelled
I WANT TO GO TO THE SKY ISLAND!" Luffy yelled complaining
Nami then Punched Luffy upside the head.
"this isn't about you it's about reality, and what the reality is we know next to nothing, we need more information, if a ship that size could make it up there i'm pretty sure we can so the same, we need to find more records about that ship." Nami said
"how the ship is at the bottom of the ocean by now." Ussop said
"Well then We'll Salvage it." Nami said
"YES SALVAGE!" Luffy said
"Chopper then looked at Robin with Confusion.
"Whats Salvaging?" Chopper said
"It means to pull up a sunken ship from underneath the water, But a ship that size is to big for us." Robin said
"how do you expect us to Salvage a big ship like that?" Cray said to Nami
"Leave that to me." Ussop said
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Cray were inside separate contraptions that Ussop made for deep Sea Exploring, they looked like Diving Gear that was made entirely out of Barrels Sanji and Zoro only had to use one Barrel While Luffy and Cray had to use two. the Barrels had an Air supply that was attached to tubes connected to the ship.
"Oh man this is so Exciting!" Luffy said
" I can't wait to see what that ship has in store for us." Cray said
"Don't worry Nami-swan I swear to find the answers you seek or I will refuse to Return!" Sanji cheerfully said
"I'll hold you to that." Nami said
"You'll be safe those barrel are my special design the've never been busted." Ussop said
Then suddenly a Huge ship emerged from the Water to Grab a Large bird in the Air.
"Well good luck you guys. I'm pretty sure it's still safe" Nami said
Okay here we go!" Luffy said jumping off of the Ship along with Zoro, Cray and Sanji and into the water as they were slowly descending down into the dark abyss of the ocean
"This is Chopper could yoou guys Call off." Chopper said holding the Brake.
"this is a Cray and were a okay.' Cray said through the air tube.
"This is Luffy and there are a ton of Monsters down here.' Luffy said
I see a giant sea snake nest right under us.' Zoro said
" This is Snaji and there staring at me.' Sanji said
Oh man I am so glad they didn't ask me to go with them.' Ussop said scared
"all right you guys just keep going. and chopper keep hold of that brake." Nami said
"Got it." Chopper said
then Suddenly someone started to chant something out in the Distance
SALVAGE!" SALVAGE"
Whats that?" Ussop said looking through his Binoculars.
"Is that another ship?" Nami said
"All of them looked and noticed a huge ship sailing towards them that had a huge Cymbal Banging Monkey as it's Figurehead.
"Is THIS THE LOCATION OF THE SUNKEN SHIP?!" The Captian yelled
YES it is Masira SIR!" The crew yelled
"THEN PREPARE TO SALVAGE THE SHIP!" Masira yelled
The Captain looked like the Cross between a human and an Ape. He was wearing an orange Yellow Jumpsuit with his name Masira on it, He was also wearing Head phones and googles and he even had a Tail.
"Of all the times, why must it be now that these weirdos show up?" nami said sweatdropping
Masira then spotted the Rest of the Stra Hats.
"Hey what are you guys doing here this here is my territory!" Masari said
"Your Territory? "nami said
Thats right every sunken ship around here is Mine you didn;t mess with my stuff right?" Masari said
"Looks like he wants to salvage that ship to." Robin said
"Wait a Minute I have an Idea?" Nami said
"HEY ANSWER MY QUESTION!?" Masari said
"Hey I got a Question For you?" Namis aid
WHAT IS IT?" Masari said
"Are you planning on salvaging the ship thats under us?" Nami said
"OF COURSE I AM! I'M A MAN THAT WILL SALVAGE ANY SHIP NO MATTER HOW BIG!" Masari said
"So can we watch you guys do it?" Nami said
"Huh? Ah I see you guys ahve never seen a salvage operation before alright, just Watch and Learn and we'll show yoou how it's done." Masari said
"Phew thats a relief now all we have to do is just wait until...
"CAPTIAN WE HAVE A PROBLEM SOME OF OUR MEN HAVE BEEN ATTACKED IN THE OCEAN!" a Crewmember yelled
"Was it one of those Sea kings?" Masari said
No, it looks like he was punched and kicked by someone!" the Crewmember said
SO YOUR SAYING THEIRS SOMEONE DOWN THERE BESIDES US!?" Masari yelled
This caused Nami anmd Ussop to shriek a little
"uh oh" Nami said sweating
"this isn;t good." Ussop said scared.
HEY YOU!?" Masari yelled at the Straw hats
"hey wait a minute we can explain." Nami said
""It looks like theres someone else down there you guys be careful!" Masari said
"Sure" Ussop and Nami said
"thank goodness he's an Idiot." Nami said
"all right to Head down!" masari said
a few if Masaris men all got suited up in Diving gear.
(Underneath The Ocean)
Sanji, Cray, Zoro and Luffy were still descending down into the ocean as many kinds of Fish and Sea life were passing by them. Zoro was unlucky enoough to have an Octupus stick to his Barrel kind of Blocking his View
"Man the bottom goes on forever." Cray said in his head Looking around area
"Hey you guys Look?" Luffy said
All of them looked down and noticed the ship.
"finally." zoro said
As all four of them landed on the ocean floor, Surrounded by what was left of the St. Briss
"okay anybody have any suggestion on how to go about this?" Cray said
"We'll have a better chance to uncover something if we split up, I'll check over here you three go...some other way." sanji said
All three them started to explore different sections of the ship. Cray was walking around the ship going through a Desk and many other things that may hold records of some kind, But nothing
"Come on, there has to be something around here." Cray said in his head.
Zoro was checking out a sheath that happened to have a 200 year old Sword in it. Zoro took the sword out only to realize that it rusted away.
Luffy as he was looking around noticed a weird contraption that looked like some kind of Broken riding Vehicle.
Sanji Kicked a door down and noticed a a couple of skeletons in it, he looked through some Debris and noticed a picture of a women, Cray, Zoro and Luffy came in to investigate as well.
"Hey, Zoro, Look." Luffy said pointing
All of them looked and noticed an old Treasure chest,
"A treasure Chest neat." Cray said
"Zoro then Used one of the broken harpoons that was lying around to break open the Chest. and as he opened it. all that was in it was a Feather Zoro then just picked it up with a Confused look on his Face.
"What do you make of this?" Zoro said
"It looks like a Feather?" Sanji said
Then suddenly something Big crashed right by them, it looked like a Huge Black Hook with a hole in it.
"CRADLE INSTALLATION COMPLETE" Someone said outside of the Ship
(The Surface)
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Luffy, Cray, Zoro, and Sanji yelled through the Speaker
Both Nami and Ussop covered the Four Speakers Quickly in order to not get the attention from Masari
"HEY WHATS THAT MONKEY THING WHATS THAT FOR?!" Ussop yelled quickly Pointing at the Figure Head
"Oh this.. you got a keen eye this figure head isn't just for Direction.. BARCO HUNTER FORWARD!" Masari yelled
Suddenly the Figure head was then Pushed forward by some contraption with it's cymbals spread out ,they then released it down into the Ocean and it connected to the Salvagin Equipment.
BArco HUNTER MERGING COMPLETE!" THe men yelled
Masari then took hold of a tube.
"All RIGHT TIME TO START BLOWING!" Masari yelled
"no way, he's not going to lift that entire ship just with his breath." Nami said
Masari then took a huge Breath Expanding his whole Chest and then he Blow into the Tube to Start up the Blowing process. as the other men were jumping on top of an oversized Bellow looking Machine in order to pump in more Air.
(The St Briss)
Cray, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro just looked at the Hook in confusion and then the hole that was on it, started let out a huge bubble.
"Is that a Bubble?" Cray said
And in a matter of Seconds the entire ship was engulfed inside of a huge bubble causing it to slowly rise up from the Ocean floor. and
GYAAAAAH!"
"SIR THE CREW UNDER THE WATER!" A crewmember said
THERE IS SOMEONE INSIDE THE SHIP! AHHHHH!" The underwater team yelled
"GRRRRRR! HOW DARE THEY ATTACK MY CREW WHO ARE THEY!?" Masari yelled
"What are those idiots thinking!?" Nami said in her head.
MEN I'M HEADING DOWN! CONTINUE TO WORK PULLING UP THE SHIP!" Masari yelled jumping into the Ocean.
"YES SIR!" The Men yelled
Masari then started to swim down towards the rising ship. and as he was a Sea king was just about to attack him.
"MONKEY PUNCH!" Masari yelled in his head Punching the Sea King Straight in the Face Causing it to Swim away.
(St Briss)
The Four of them then took off there Barrel Suits
"Good we can finally take these things off it's dry now in here." Luffy said lifting the barrel over his head.
"Man I was starting to get Cramps in these things." Cray said taking off the Barrel and then the Small safe
"Who do you think is Raising up the ship?" Zoro said
"could something have happened to everyone else up there?" Cray said
"I''ve been trying to contact everyone but there not responding. I hope Nami and Robin are Okay." Sanji said
then suddenly something big punched through there section of the ship.
""WHO DARES TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN MY PART OF THE SEA!" Masari yelled out punching through he then had a menacing look staring at the four of them.
"Nice...Make up." Luffy said nonchantley
this Caught Masari by surprise and then he made slight smile
"Thanks I feel like it adds a refine Quality on my face." Masari said
"Well it sure adds something." Luffy said
"Who the hell are you?" Zoro and Sanji said in Unison.
( A few Minutes Later)
Luffy and Marasi were just talking away and Laughing.
"all of you people from the East Blue have a good sense of humor. "Masari said laughing
"Well I really don't know about all that, nothing compares to a one time Gorilla in Make up." Luffy said
Haha oh shut your mouth you know I look good." Masari said smiling.
The Creature then clamped right on the ship and then Started to Rise up to the Surface. with the ship and ropes in it's mouth.
As the Large Creature broke the Surface of the water it Made Nami and Ussop Panic.
"Does Anyone Else see the Giant Turtle the size of an island in front of us!?" Nami yelled
CAPTAIN CAPTAIN!" Masaris crew yelled out

"THEN THINK OF SOMETHING YOUR THE STRONGEST ONE HERE!" Ussop yelled
"Give me minute I';ll think of something." Robin said
