"Okay, so you're good for about three hours of oxygen. If we had a scientist, we'd probably have more in the tanks, but that isn't my area of expertise."

"It'll be enough." Law said as he watch Ryu, Shachi, and Penguin gear up.

"Here are your mics. We'll be able to communicate with you from the navigation room." Sayu muttered while fixing Penguin's suit. "Ryu, a mini camera is attached to your suit only, so we'll be watching as well. Also, under water, humans are naturally slower because of water pressure. So if you run into any fishmen, it's been nice knowing you."

"Sayu-channnn..." Shachi and Penguin groaned and Sayu giggled.

"I'm just joking. If you do run into trouble...well..." Sayu glanced nervously to the side avoiding eye contact.

"You weren't joking!"

"So, Captain what are we doing?" Ryu asked.

"Your goal is to investigate that octopus." Law stated.

"Are we looking for anything?"

"Just to figure out why it's so big and a way to get it off my sub."

"If I can catch it, can I make sushi?" Law chuckled.

"By all means, Mr. Ryu."

"Awesome."

"Um, why don't we just use the cannons?" Penguin asked nervously.

"Penguin, that thing is on the freaking sub, stuck on like tape! A close range shot like that would probably kill the thing and us too! That was stupid of you to ask." Sayu glared and Penguin winced from the look.

"Sorry, Sayu-chan." Sayu got sparkles in her eyes as she saw how cute Penguin is when apologizing. She glomped him and coddled him.

"Cute..." Penguin blushed and Sayu smiled.

"Ms. Mechanic." Law called, snapping Sayu out of her trance.

"Uh, right. Sorry." Sayu moved and pressed a big red button on the wall. The bottom floor opened up to reveal clear blue sea ocean water. "Remember guys, three hours."

"Thanks Sayu-chan." Shachi said.

"No problem. Well, good luck." And with that, Ryu, Shachi, and Penguin dove into the ocean.

"Let's get back to Bepo." Law said leaving. Sayu closed the floor and followed after her beloved Captain.

"Right!"


Ryu

Ryu, Shachi and Penguin were swimming towards the front of the sub.

"So what do you guys think we should do?" Shachi asked.

"Well, I want to catch that thing and grill it. You two are going to help me." Ryu was listing dishes he could make in his head.

"Still think you're crazy to try and catch that." Penguin muttered.

"Hey, we have to get rid of it somehow. What better way than to cook it, right?" Ryu smirked.

"You're impossible..." Penguin turned his head to see a giant tentacle come straight at him. "Woah!"

"Penguin!" Shachi shouted and watched in horror as the tentacle wrapped around Penguin's waist and squeezed.

"Agh! That hurrrrrts!" Penguin pulled frantically at the tentacle.

"No you don't!" Ryu swam around and wrapped the tentacle with one of the spare chains he bought. Getting a good grip on his chain, he pulled. "Shachi, come help!"

"Hold on!" Shachi grabbed hold with Ryu and pulled.

"Guys! Help!" Penguin shouted. "It's trying to eat me!"

"Shut up, Penguin! Pull harder, Shachi!"

"I'm trying, we're under water, remember?!"


Trinity Sayu

"Woah..." Sayu mumbled while watching the underwater rumble on the big screen in the navigation room with Law and Bepo.

"I hope they'll be okay." Bepo said while munching on a fish stick.

"They'll be fine." Law took a sip of his coffee.

"What happens if they get eaten, Law?" Sayu asked.

"We'll just wait for the digestive system to kick in." Law said cheekily. "Or we get more crew members."

"...Captain?" Bepo looked at Law.

"Relax...everything will be fine."


Ryu

Things were not fine on Ryu, Shachi and Penguin's end. They were in a tug of war with a giant octopus. And so far, the octopus was winning.

"No!" Penguin was yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Penguin, shut up!" Ryu could tell they were about to lose. "Shachi, don't lose grip no matter what!"

"Wait, what, why, what are you doing?!" Ryu released his grip on the chain and swam towards the sub. He pulled out one more chain and hooked it onto the sub railing, then tied it around his waist. Then he swam back towards Penguin.

"Penguin! Grab my hand!" Penguin reached out and grabbed hold of Ryu's hand just as the octopus yanked them all forward and towards it's mouth. They were all swallowed by the octopus.


Trafalgar Law

The sub was pulled forward an inch by Ryu's chain link.

"They got swallowed!" Sayu yelled and Law rolled his eyes at the obvious statement. The screen showed them a red tunnel that the three were sucked into.

"I can see that, Ms. Mechanic." Law stated.

"What should we do, Captain?" Bepo asked wearily.

"We watch it play out." Law walked up to the screen and pressed a button. "Mr. Ryu, can you hear me?" There was static and then all sorts of yelling.

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!"

"I HAVEN'T GOTTEN LAID IN MONTHS!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOUR MORONS! I CAN'T HEAR THE CAPTAIN! Fucking idiots they-" Suddenly everything got quiet.

"Woah, cool!" Sayu was looking at screen. On it, showed a city. "That's amazing."


Ryu

Our three pirates who were currently sitting on a pile of bones, were staring at the massive city before them. A city inside an octopus...who would've thought.

"There's no water here..." Shachi said taking off his diving helmet.

"No, look, it's at the bottom." Penguin took his helmet off too and pointed to the water that was covering the floor.

"Captain, you seeing this?" Ryu asked.

"I am, now I see why that thing is so big. Excellent work guys. Next step, explore. See if you can find anything interesting."

"In other words, pillage the damn place! We're pirates for fucks sake!" Sayu's voice screech over the mic and Ryu chuckled.

"Roger. Shachi, Penguin, let's go." Ryu unlatched the chain around his waist and let it dangle in the air. Hopefully, it'll stay so they can climb out of this place when they're finished with whatever they find to do here.

"So what do you think this place is?" Penguin looked at all the simple buildings make out of some type of hard rock.

"Some underwater city. It's pretty cool that they could get it underwater, and even cooler, it's in an octopus."

"Pft, I've seen better." Shachi looked at Ryu.

"Come on, man. Let us have this. We never left anywhere than North Blue. This is all new to us."

"Seeing all this is pretty amazing to us." Penguin commented. "When the Captain let us be on his crew, we were excited. Especially to see new place like this one."

"I didn't ask for your life story." Ryu deadpanned.

"HAVE SOME COURTESY!"

"Guys, focus!" Sayu's voice rang in their ears.

"Don't yell like that, shrimp. You nearly blew my eardrum out."

"Ms. Mechanic is right though. Stay sharp everyone." Law mentioned.

"If you see any female polar bears, let me know please." Everyone chuckled at Bepo's comment.

"Will do, Bepo." Ryu said.

"Excuse me, miss!" Penguin stopped a passerby. "Can you tell us what this place is?' The woman smiled and Penguin nearly fainted.

"You people must've been swallowed by our octopus. Well, I've only been here for a few years but there's a story to this place. They say this creature has been around for a long time, maybe before man. Being around for that long can be lonely. So its said that one day the octopus was found stranded on shore when a group of nomads came across it. They pushed him back into the ocean, saving him from near death. In repayment, the octopus allowed the nomads to live inside it. And with a little brain power and hard work, you see what has been built to today. The octopus was never lonely again. But once in a while, he'll swallow people to add to his colony."

"But...how do you get food?" Shachi questioned.

"Oh, that's easy. The octopus sinks ships from time to time. And-"

"You get food from the ships, right?" Ryu said.

"Oh no, that food is for the octopus. You see, we eat the humans he swallows, but only the ones that don't want to join our city and then we use their bones to add onto our city." Everything got real quiet after that statement.

"You guys might want to calmly find your way back out." Law suggested. Shachi asked the next question for the woman.

"So ma'am, what you're saying is...you're cannibals?" The woman smiled proudly.

"Yes!" Penguin and Shachi gulped.

"How do we get out of here?" Penguin asked nervously. No tact used whatsoever.

"Oh, you don't." The woman grinned.

"Fuck that." Ryu swung a chain and swiftly wrapped it around the woman's neck and pulled. A snapping sound was hear and her body dropped to the floor.

"AHH!" Penguin and Shachi screamed like little girls. "You just killed her in cold blood!"

"She was going to eat us!"

"Murderer!"

"I saved our lives! Let's just get the hell out of here before more come! I don't want to stay in this cannibalistic city any longer..." Ryu suggested. "Got to hide this body first though."

"That was kind of inhumane, Ryu." Sayu mumbled over their mics.

"Shut up, shrimp. Alright, let's go back to the chain I have and see if we can't climb out by force."

"Actually, I still want to check out the city first. Doesn't it peak your interest?" Penguin pointed towards the city that they now knew was constructed from human bones.

"No way, what we're going to do is climb back up my chain and get the hell out of here." Ryu made his way back to the pile of bones and grabbed his chain. But not hearing any other movement behind him caused him to stop. Looking back, he saw the two morons already half way to the city. "Oi, morons! Wait!" Ryu chased after them.


"Well someone has to watch out for you two idiots." Ryu mumbled. The trio were walking around the city and frankly stuck out like sore thumbs with their diving suits. But Shachi and Penguin were adamant about seeing the city first before leaving.

"The girls here are pretty hot." Penguin said with a grin.

"Yeah, super cute." Shachi nodded and waved to a passing female. "They keep checking us out."

"You idiots, they're leering at you like food...literally. They want to eat us, or did you forget?" And suddenly the two engineers became sullen.

"Right. Sorry." Ryu scoffed.

"Idiots."

"Guys look!" Shachi pointed to a stall.

"Good eye, Shachi. Let's check it out." Penguin said and Ryu glanced over.

"What is-ack!" Ryu stared at the stall that had panties hanging out in the open, then he looked at the engineers in disgust. "That's lingerie you morons!"

"We know." They both had shit eating grins.


Trinity Sayu

"Perverts, the both of them. Shouldn't we just call them back, Law? They've seen enough if you ask me." Sayu placed a card down.

"We'll call them in a few minutes. Think you can get that thing off my sub afterwards?" Law picked up a card.

"I think I have a harpoon somewhere." Sayu glared at her hand.

"How big?" Law had a confident smirk and his mechanic chuckled.

"Pretty big...two pair." Sayu showed her hand and Law grinned lazily.

"Straight." Law revealed his hand and Sayu groaned.

"Dammit!"

"Full house..." Sayu and Law looked at Bepo in shock as he showed his cards. Law chuckled as Sayu threw a hissy fit.

"Dammit, dammit, dammit! Shit! Fucking hell! I hate poker!"

"At least you didn't bet anything." Law mentioned.

"Ah...true. But...Bepo, tell me your secret! Did you sniff the cards or something?"

"No, just luck." Sayu glared at Bepo.

"Bullshit."


Ryu

"Wow, this place is amazing. Wish we could've bought souvenirs, but they would just get wet." Shachi, Penguin, and Ryu were heading back to the chain to get out of the octopus. None of the octopus people thought to stop them, because...well...no one has ever escaped the octopus.

"I told you morons we should've left already. It's dinner time and I should be cooking right now." Ryu was grumbling. "Let's get out of this hell hole."

"Still wanna chop up the octopus?" Penguin questioned. Ryu scratched his head and looked away.

"Uh, even if they're cannibals, I don't kill innocents...maybe marines but not full on innocents."

"Good for you, man. Believe it or not we don't think Captain or Sayu-chan kill innocents either." Shachi said.

"Nope, just marines and other pirates." Sayu's voice came over. "But Law will torture people who get on his nerves, civilian or not."

"Correct." Law stated.

"Alright, let's just get back." They finally arrived back at their starting point. "Oi, shrimp...is their a way you can get the fist to open up it's mouth?"

"Pepper. Make it sneeze. That's the best I got." Ryu sighed heavily. Leave it to the shrimp to come up with something so typically stupid. "I'll go find some pepper!"

"Don't touch my kitchen!"

"I made that kitchen! Be right back!" Ryu let out a growl and swatted his fringe in exasperation.

"She doesn't know that pepper dissolves in water?" Bepo questioned.

"Ms. Mechanic is mechanical smart, not food smart. Just let her believe she's right. I love to see her defeated expression anyway." Law chuckled causing Ryu to grin.

"So what should we do, Captain?" Penguin asked.

"Start climbing. Bepo, when Ms. Mechanic get's back, tell her to meet me on the diving floor."

"Right Captain." Law left the room and Bepo monitored the screen.


Trinity Sayu

"I've got the pep-where's Law?" Sayu looked around.

"Sayu-chan...that will dissolve before it even touches the octopus." Shachi said.

"Wha?!"

"Sayu, the Captain is waiting for you in the diving room."

"Law? I'm coming, best friend!" Sayu ran out.


Trafalgar Law

"What you're going to do is take this muscle relaxant and inject it into the octopus with your harpoon. It's potent enough to work in a matter of minutes. It should detach off the ship and open it's mouth allowing the three idiots to be pulled out. Of course, water will be rushing in it's mouth, but it's not our problem what happens to the cannibal tribe." Law handed over the toxin to Sayu who was dressed in a diving suit.

"I'm sure they'll be fine, they live in an octopus after all." Sayu said nonchalantly. She covered the tip of her harpoon with the relaxant. "Will it be fine under water? The relaxant I mean." Law shook his head.

"Nope. That's why you have to be quick and get it done with." Sayu nodded and put her helmet on.

"Wish me luck." Sayu gave a wave and dived into the water.


Trinity Sayu

In reality, Sayu was a normal swimmer. Not bad, but not good either. She was able to get the under half of the sub done by repeatedly diving int he water and moving very slowly. So in short she was an okay swimmer. However, this would be the first time she would fire underwater. Water pressure would also be the enemy, though this should be fairly easy. It's not a moving target.

"Ms. Mechanic, the base between the tentacles and head should be a good spot for the relaxant. Mr. Ryu, you and the other two hold on tight to your chain, water will be rushing all around you a few minutes." Law's voice resounded.

"Okay Law." Sayu stopped swimming and moved the harpoon to over her shoulder. Sayu thought that if she ever get in a fight with Baby 5, she'd definitely win...of course it was just a random thought. Sayu took up arms and aimed for the base of the neck. "Here we go!" Sayu pulled back her lever and the coated harpoon spear launched straight into the octopus's neck. "Yes! Guys, brace yourself, okay?!"

"Okay, Sayu-chan!" Sayu waited and watched for a few minutes and then suddenly the octopus's tentacles starting detaching one by one and it started to sink itself lower, when it suddenly just popped off and with it's mouth opening wide. Sayu could see Ryu, Shachi, and Penguin hanging onto the chain that was attached to the sub. Water pounded around them as they held on tightly. The octopus was sinking to the bottom of the ocean and Sayu waved to her friends. "Hey, Sayu-chan!" Penguin shouted and Sayu winced but grinned.

"How were the suits, guys? Were they efficient enough?"

"They were great Sayu-chan. No problem whatsoever." Shachi said causing Sayu to smile brightly. It was always great to have test subjects without them knowing.

"That's good. Well, I'll see you guys back in the sub."


Trafalgar Law

"OW!" Sayu had clutched her head after Ryu knocked her a good one on her head. "What the hell, Ryu?!" Ryu scoffed.

"That was for the pepper comment."

"Now hold on just a-" Law ignored them and turned to his engineers.

"So how was it?" Shachi and Penguin looked at each other.

"What exactly, Captain?" Law chuckled slightly.

"The getting eaten part." They shivered violently.

"FUCK YOU! I'm going to my room! Meanie head!" Sayu screamed at the cook and he was smirking evilly.

"You know you love me, shrimp." Sayu glared hard at him.

"Just knock on my door when we're near Reverse mountain! Until then leave me alone...I'm going to watch some anime." She stomped off and Law watched her go then turned to his cook.

"What did you say to her?" Ryu chuckled.

"Told her she was madly in love with me, that's why we always bicker. She blew up, and got all defensive. It was pretty funny." Law smirked but then stared at Ryu.

"Don't tease her too much, Mr. Ryu. After all...that's my job."
