While this was going on, Bright Heart, Swift Heart, & Brave Heart were busy preparing for Stone-Heart's arrival, by building a wall that they hoped would keep him out. "Another sack over here, Swift Heart!" Bright Heart shouted. Swift Heart ran over & tossed a sack on top of the pile. "Thanks!" Bright Heart said.
"Don't mention it!" Swift Heart shouted. While working, Brave Heart looked around. He noticed Lotsa Heart Elephant asleep under a tree. However, when he looked up in the tree, he became scared. He saw Orthoclase hiding up in the tree with the Gum-gum fruit in his hand. He then saw Orthoclase drop the fruit.
"LOTSA HEART!! WAKE UP!!" Brave Heart shouted. As the fruit dropped, Lotsa Heart let out a yawn. However, in that yawn, the Gum-gum fruit dropped into his mouth, & he swallowed. Brave Heart just stared at him, mouth agape; flabbergasted that Lotsa Heart threw away his ability to swim. "Oh no." Brave Heart said. "Lotsa Heart, you ate a Gum-gum fruit."
"Huh?" Lotsa Heart asked. "I don't know what you mean, Brave Heart. & that's the truth." Brave Heart slapped his forehead, then looked at Lotsa Heart.
"Lotsa Heart." Brave Heart said. "You just ate a Gum-gum fruit, like Rubber Heart. It might not be the same ability, but we have to find out which ability it is so we can prepare for it."
"Well you ain't never gonna find out what his newfound Gum-gum fruit ability is."
Brave Heart & Lotsa Heart looked up to the voice's location & saw Orthoclase staring down at them. He leapt from the tree, landed between Brave Heart & Lotsa Heart, & grabbed them both by their necks.
"Wh-who are you?" Brave Heart asked nervously. Orthoclase sneers at him.
"I am Orthoclase, member of the Stone-Heart pirates. As well as your executioner." He said, that last part sending chills up Brave Heart & Lotsa Heart's spines.
"Wh-wh-wh-what are you going to do with us?" Brave Heart asked.
"I'm taking you both to the captain." Said Orthoclase responded. "He'll contact True Heart & Noble Heart & call a small conversation with them." With that, Orthoclase began walking away. However, Bright Heart saw the whole thing & turned to Swift Heart, who was also watching.
"We gotta warn the others." Bright Heart said to Swift Heart.
"Right." Said the blue rabbit. She grabbed Bright Heart's hand.
"Hold on now." Swift Heart said. & with that, he rocketed off.
