Chapter 8: Over the Mountain and though… the Whale?
After the leprechaun came and went (and leaving a lot of boxes of an evil creel… god I hate the Leprechaun), they were headed to the Grand Line Finally, but there were a few problems.
"What is it Nami?" asked Mari.
"The way to the Grand Line is up a mountain." Said Nami.
There was a silence… but Zoro said "Wait did we steal that map from Buggy the clown, that has to be fake… right?"
"No it's true, Reverse Mountain, the channels does run up the mountain…" said Kuina.
This made Luffy have a big smile and Tashegi and Zoro sweat drop.
"What s it?" asked Nami.
"It's nothing… really…" said Zoro with a sweat drop.
"So even if it's true. Water doesn't run up mountains. It's impossible." Said Mari, "Can we just sail around?"
"We can't." said Nami.
"That's right!" said Luffy, "We don't use the entrance it wouldn't feel right!"
"That's not the right answer!" yelled Nami.
"You see…" said Tashegi, that's when her sister pointed to the window, Tashegi's eyes went wide, she knew what that meant.
"Guy we're in the clam belt!" she yelled.
"What!" yelled Nami.
"That's bad!" yelled Pantene.
They all went outside to see what was going on… and it was calm.
"We were supposed to right that storm, but we drifted south!" said Nami, "We have to get back to the storm right away."
"So what, it's nice here." Said Zoro.
"This is the calm belt. We have to get out of here now." Said Nami.
"Why what's the problem?" asked Usopp.
That's when they all came out of the sea, they being huge sea kings. The small ship was now on the nose of a particularly large one.
"It's a nesting ground for Sea Kings!" said Nami.
"Many amazons have lost their lives here, proving themselves as great warriors… sure everyone one of them were fool, only a few came back alive." Said Pantene.
"Of course they were fools! They walked right into a Sea King nest!" yelled Tashegi.
The guys got the oars…
"The moment it goes under we row like there's no tomorrow!" said Luffy.
After a rescue with Usopp and a sneeze that threw them back into the storm everyone on deck laid there.
"And now you know why we have to use the entice…" said Nami.
Usopp lifted hid head slightly and saw something off…
"Um… guys! I think Patnene is running around naked." Said Usopp.
"What?" asked everyone else.
They all got up and saw Pantene's clothes… just laying there in a pile.
"What the…" said Zoro.
That's when the clothes began move slightly. A white rabbit with lavender ears came out of the clothes. Everyone blinked at the site. The rabbit seemed to sigh and ran as fast as it could to the Galley.
"It can't be…" said Kuina.
Both Tashegi looked at Kuina then followed the rabbit, to see it was dragging a teakettle to the sink, filling it then to the stove… that's when everyone else arrived.
"Is that rabbit trying to cooking self?" asked Luffy.
The rabbit looked at them… partially Sanji, Usopp and Luffy. The jumped, almost flying… and in a triple tiered attack… hit them the crotches, causing them to fall to the ground in pain.
"Okay… that ewes strange." Said Nami with a sweat drop.
"Pain… so much pain…" said Usopp.
The rabbit stared at the water until it was warm enough, it turned off the fire jumped to the floor and poured the hot water on itself… shocking everyone when it turned into a human girl… but not any human girl.
"Pantene!" yelled everyone else in shock, by this time all the guys had managed to get up.
"I'll explain later." Said Patnene, "We should try to navigate though this storm."
Everyone stared at Pantene… she was naked… buck naked, this caused Sanji to faint from blood loss when his nose exploded with blood.
"You perverts!" yelled Pantene.
She began to beat up Luffy and Usopp.
"We didn't do anything bad!" yelled Luffy.
After a minute Patnene saw everyone else was staring at her.
"Um… can someone go get me some fresh clothes and my rain gear… I can't go out in the storm or I'll turn into a rabbit again." Said Patnene.
"So why did you did you turn into a rabbit?" asked Mari.
"It's my curse, I'll explain later! Someone go me some clothes… please and don't forget my rain gear… and make sure my clothes don't get wet." Said Patnene.
"So she's under the Jusenkyo Curse… weird… I didn't think was effected." thought Kuina staring at Patnene.
Tashegi was the one that volunteered to get her clothes… while they decided to strike up an awkward conversation…
"So… why did you beat me up?" asked Zoro with a sweat drop.
"Well… we're engaged, right? I mean it doesn't matter you see me naked, right?" asked Pantene with a girlish blush.
This of course made Zoro sweat drop and Mari to sigh heavily.
Tashegi came into the room with fresh clothes for Patnene who quickly got dressed (in less then 5 second) while putting on her rain gear at the same time.
"Wait I just realized!" said Nami, "It's the current."
"The what?" said the other girls and Zoro, as the other guys were still unconscious form the beats and blood loss.
Nami began to explain the currents, however they were already headed towards reverse mountain and all they had to was steer.
"So should we try to steer now or should we wait 'till they wake up…" said Tashegi pointing to the three idiots… uh… guys unconscious the ground.
That's when they woke up.
"I'm dressed so stop staring at me like that!" said Patnene.
"Okay…" said Nami, "I'll explain later but we have to steer the ship in the fight direction."
They began to steer the ship towards a mountain… Zoro kept watch while Sanji and Usopp tired their best to steer… which was extremely hard as the steering.
"I don't believe it! The water's going up the mountain." Said Zoro.
He stared at the sight of water going up a cannel with several gates.
"See, I told you…" said Kuina with a smirk.
""That doesn't mater!" yelled Zoro.
"Okay!" yelled Luffy who was now taking charge, Steer right!"
"Don't you mean Starboard?" asked Usopp.
As they tried to steer the whip staff broke (just remembered the name), they were going to crash into gate when Luffy used Gum Gum balloon to cushion the ship and with Zoro help he got on board. With that they were on their way to the Grand Line! They reached the top and came back down the mountain… each one though about their upcoming adventures on the Grand Line as they went down the water slide like cannel. That's when they heard a strange sound.
"What's that sound?" asked Luffy.
"Oh god… I hope that's an Ice Burg." Said Kuina with a sweat drop.
As they got closer to the bottom they saw it… it was a giant whale.
"What the!" yelled practically everyone on the ship.
That's right a giant whale.
"Everyone! We need to this ship right now!" yelled Nami.
"But the whip staff!" said Mari.
"I don't care! Everyone who can help steer the ship!" yelled Nami.
The guys (minus Luffy for some reason), Tashegi and Patnene all tired to grab what was left of the whip staff but it seemed almost too late… however fortunately or unfortunately Luffy shot off the front canon… it was a good thing as it prevented most of the ship form behind destroyed… on the other hand… THEY JUST SHOT A WHALE! Also the future heard fell off which angered Luffy greatly.
"Greenpeace isn't going to like this." Said Kuina with a sweat drop.
"Okay… we're alive…" said Nami.
"I don't think it noticed us." Said Tashegi.
"Okay! Row around it! We have to get past it!" yelled Nami.
And so they began to row past the whale… sadly… Luffy didn't get the idea of not angering a gain whale… so why they passed it's eye… Luffy punched it angering the whale…
"Luffy you idiot!" yelled everyone else on the ship.
The whale began to suck up the crew… during what was going on Luffy fell off the ship. Each one of them were of course angry with Luffy as they were being sucked in… after all they were being eaten by a whale… but who knew… maybe this would be a good thing… either way… it was an interesting start to their adventure on the Grand Line.
Next Time: Being eaten by the whale isn't so bad... apparently a doctor remodeled the place... However there's villains wanting to eat the whale... or are they really villains? And will Zoro get another girl in his harem? Find out next time!
