I couldn't believe that we are finally here. I could see the second island on the Grandline. From what I can see, there are a lot of green trees and a mountain in the middle. I wonder what types of people live there. I see that Usopp and Luffy are playing around and doing there we-found-an-island dance. I'm sitting on the stairs, getting some sun with my pink tank top and blue shorts when I heard a giant splash. I look up to see a horrify Usopp looking at the sea. My mind made the connection that Luffy went overboard.
"Luffy!" Usopp scream, his hand up in the air. I jump into action and ran to the side and jump into the water. I quickly close my eyes on impact. My eyes snap open when I'm in the water. Everything around is blue and crystal clear as if I'm in the Bahamans. Then I look down and see Luffy and he's sinking fast. He sees me there and starts to struggle to swim. I swiftly swim down and grab of hold of him. Then I kick my feet to go to the surface. I could feel myself losing some air but finally I broke the surface. I took a breath but Luffy is gasping for air.
"Thanks, Angelina," he said, holding on to me. My eyes twitch a bit. Some saltwater went in my eye.
"You're welcome. Just don't make it a habit," I said, tired of holding him up. Luffy is heavy or am I weak? The crew sent down a rope for us to climb. Luffy went up first. I wait to be lift up onto the deck above. I didn't feel a bit safe knowing there could be sea kings around. When the rope drops again, I grab it and was pulled up. Luffy's clothes seem to dry pretty fast but mines are soaking wet.
"Are you okay, Angelina," Vivi ask, helping me get up. She grabs my left arm and pulls me up. I get up and shiver a bit.
"Thanks, Vivi. I'm fine. I think I'm going to change clothes," I said, calmly. Vivi nods and see if Luffy is alright as well. I went downstairs into our cramp room. This room went to a two people living here to a three people and a huge duck living here. Carue's bed is at a corner near the couch where Vivi sleeps. Nami has the only bed here and if she catches anyone sleeping on her bed, she charges them 300,000 belis. I sleep in my cot under the stairs.
I went through my boxes and found a dark hunter green t-shirt with a light blue jeans to go with it. I decide to use my shoes that I bought at LogueTown that looks like Mihawk's. I could hear a lot of sounds upstairs. Then I hear a tremendous roar that sends shivers up my spine. I went upstairs to see that Luffy, Vivi, and Carue are missing and Zoro and Sanji are leaving.
The only ones on the boat are Usopp and Nami. I quickly jump out of the boat and follow Sanji. I didn't want to be alone without protection.
"Hey, wait up Sanji," I said, jumping out of the boat. I could hear Nami and Usopp calling me a traitor for leaving them behind. I know somehow karma will get me for that.
"Of course, Angel-chan," Sanji said, turning around with an anything – you-say-my-sweet smile. I run next to him and smiles. We went deep into the forest where the trees are bigger than any trees I have seen.
There're palm trees as big as a skyscraper. The humidity is killing me. I wish I didn't wear these jeans. The smell of rotten eggs with fresh scent of rain is killing my nose. I could hear roars coming from a distance. Somehow, this scenery is familiar. The sounds, the trees, and the name of the place that had a similar scene like this. Sanji must have seen my frown. Then Sanji looks behind me.
"Angel-chan, don't move," Sanji said, facing whatever is behind me. A large shadow covers Sanji and me. The smell of rotten eggs and flesh hits me. Then it roars. 'Don't tell it's a,' I thought and slowly turn my head around.
"T-t-t-Rex!" I scream, jumping up. When the red T-Rex launch forward, I ran away faster than anyone ran before. I jump over the roots of trees. I went under fallen logs, and around giant rocks. I stop when I heard silence. I look behind me and saw nothing. Then my eyes widen. I completely forgot Sanji.
I didn't even made my first step to go back when I hear something land a few feet behind me. I slowly turn around expecting another dinosaur but I see a saber-tooth tiger. I look at it with an emotionless face. It looks at me with hunger in its eyes. We stare at each other, sizing each other.
My legs want to run again, away from the danger. I breathe in and out. Then a volcano erupts. The tiger lunge at me but I use my gymnastics skills and did a side cart wheel. When I land on my feet, I ran again but in a zig-zag motion. I'm mimicking what a gazelle would do when it was chase by a lion. I didn't want to look back but I could hear it coming closer. Its paws dug into the ground with a loud thump each time.
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. Roar.
I squeal. This is probably karma getting back at me for leaving Nami and Usopp at the boat. Then another predator joins the game. It is a raptor. I look back to see it jump on the tiger and they start to fight. I took this opportunity to run back to the ship.
Somehow, I found myself in front of the boat. Sanji is there as well with a dead T-Rex. I look at the dead lizard and then at Sanji. I'm amaze that Sanji defeat a T-Rex.
"Angel-chan, you're finally here," Sanji said, jumping down from the T-Rex. He smiles as he walks up to me.
"Have you seen Nami and Vivi? I really want to start cooking the giant lizard," Sanji said, looking to see if they are coming to the boat. I shake my head. My eyes are still looking at the dead lizard. Then Sanji grabs my hand and drags me away from the boat.
"We better go look for them," Sanji said, happily. We went in to Jurassic Forest. I follow Sanji very closely. I almost became his shadow. I could feel my strength and energy getting zap. I can hardly keep up with Sanji.
"Nami-chan! Vivi-chan! Answer me, I love you!" Sanji yells out. I keep my eyes open for any predator. I could hear something rumbling in the distant. I think it's another T-Rex or explosions. Then a familiar tiger came into view. I could see who the victor in the fight is.
The tiger is drooling salvia and blood. I guess it is hungry for more. I scream and tug on Sanji's arm. I'm not going to leave him again. Yet, he holds his ground. Next thing I know, Sanji fought with the tiger and won. He is riding it like a horse. He holds his hand out.
"Come on, Angelina. This way is better," Sanji said. I took his hand hesitantly. The tiger start to walk forward with a big lump on its head and a broken saber tooth. I could see it is crying. After a while, I see some form of a cube in front of us. I got off of the tiger and Sanji follow suit.
"What's this?" he asks, tilting his head. The tiger ran away while I see a door. I open it and a smile appears on my face.
"Cool. Sanji, it's a room with tea," I said, rushing in and sitting down. I took a sip of tea. Sanji came in and also drinks some tea.
"It's Earl Grey," he said, taking some more tea.
After a while, I remember that we are looking for everyone on this island.
"Sanji, we forgot that we had to look for everyone," I said, bursting our bubble. Sanji just looks at me.
"That's right. I bet they're waiting for me," Sanji said, with a dreamy smile. As Sanji reach the door, we both hear something.
Ring. Ri-ring. Ring.
Ring. Ring.
We find a small box with a snailuphone. I'm surprise just a bit. I see Devil-fruit users, sea kings, Shichibukai, and fishermen. I wouldn't be surprise if there's giants around. Sanji decides to answer. As he pick the phone, I see a name written on it. ' ?' I thought.
"Hello! Welcome to a restaurant. What do you want to order," Sanji ask, sacasticly. I muffle a giggle.
"Stop playing around, you idiot! Where is your report?" a deep voice yells at us. His voice reminds me of a mafia boss but only deeper. I raise my eyebrow up. Who does this person think he is? Yet, his voice sends chills down my spine in a bad way.
"Report? Who's this?" Sanji ask, sitting down on the chair. I decide to stand up. My butt hurts from sitting on the hard chair.
"It's me, Mr. Zero," Crocodile said, from the other side of the line. My heart drops. I start to freak out. Sanji is looking at the phone for a while.
"I have given you an order for a while. I would like to know your progress, Mr. Three," Crocodile asks. So this is the person who wants to conquer Alabasta. My feelings went to anger from scared. I would like to curse him out right now.
"Why don't you answer me? Have you killed those brats and the princess?" Crocodile ask, in a demanding way. I think I would curse him out when he is expose for the traitor he is.
"Oh, yeah, I killed everyone who knew your secret. So we won't have to hunt them anymore," Sanji answered right away. I held my breath. Was he going to buy this? I cross my fingers and pray. 'Please buy it. Be gullible,' I thought.
"Is that so? Thank you. I'm sending the Unluckies to see if you accomplished your mission or not. And they shall bring you that thing. The eternal compass to Alabastra Where we will discuss and accomplish our goal," Crocodile ordered us. He thought that Sanji was Mr. Three. In the window, there was an otter and a vulture with weapons. They looked at us and we looked at them.
The otter came after me while Sanji handle the vulture like a pro. The otter is aiming for my legs so I start to move around doing back flips, frontal flips, and cartwheel. Somehow, I land near the table. I see the tea is still hot. The otter made a noise and came after me. I grab the tea and throw it at the otter. The otter drops its weapon and starts to cry in pain. I kick it and it flew across the room. It hit the wall and slowly slides down to the floor.
"I'm sorry," I mouth to it. Sanji defeats the vulture with his fancy footwork. He went back to the phone where Crocodile ask about the commotion.
"One of the brats was alive but I've broken their necks," Sanji said, calmly. I could hear Crocodile growl a bit. I gulp in fear.
"So you lied to me," He said. I start to shake in my boots. I try to stop but couldn't. Sanji shake his head.
"Umm, I can't help it if you think that way. But they are one hundred percent dead," Sanji said, winking at me. I frown. I want to hit him to make him focus at the job at hand.
"Nevermind that. After you take care of everything, go straight to Alabasta. I will hang up now because the marines can detect this conversation. We will be in some trouble. From now on, I will be sending orders through mail. That's all," Crocodile said, hanging up. I let out a sigh.
"Finally, I thought he never shut up. I think he likes to hear his voice," I said, pointing at the phone. Sanji stands up and looks at our guest.
"Who are they?" he asks, looking at the otter and the vulture.
"They're the Unluckies," I said. Then I see a big compass. I usually see it on Nami's wrist. I pick it up.
"What's this?" I ask Sanji. He shrugs and took it. Then he puts in his pocket.
"I'm going to look for everyone. Angel, I need you to go back to the ship and get it ready," he said. I nod and ran towards the boat.
Everyone is on the ship. I learn that they fought against Mr. Three and his partner. Also, they met two giants on the island. When we saw them at the edge of the island, I couldn't help but to stare at them. I ignore everything around me. I didn't notice that we were swallow by a giant goldfish or anything. I just can't believe those gianst were….GIANTS!
