The marine ship sailed out at the crack of dawn. Everyone was excited, as it was their first job in a long while. They were all on deck, in awe at how tall the red line was. It wad the first time seeing it for most.
Tonnin stared at it as if she could see through to the other side.
"Sir, when.. And how will we get to the other side?"
"Just wait, you'll see."
They sailed around… Until the boat jolted, and a large, upward stream came into sight.
The boat began to get sucked in, as the sails pointed towards it and the front moved in its direction, until the entire ship was headed full-speed up into it. Many of the people on board lost their hats.
It began to slow down, as they reached the top…. The boat straightened….
It tilted downward…
In an instant, the ship plunged downward, as if like a rollercoaster. Sooner than later, the ride was over, as they came down to a steady ocean with a hearty SPLASH!
A few men threw up over the side, while others went inside to rest.
Tonnin thought otherwise.
"T-That was fun!" She glowed, looking at the others. A select few thought the same, and their faces showed it.
Their fun was soon interrupted by the large whale nearby.
It swam In place, facing the red line... as if waiting for someone, or something. It also had a very badly painted jolly roger on it's forehead... or was it's face? Nose?
"Hey... what's with the paint?" Tonnin asked, a bit concerned about the creature.
"From what we know, the Strawhat pirates drew that on it. You can tell by the jolly roger."
"Whoever did it has no art skills." One of them chuckled.
They sailed around the whale, going on their journey. They had an eternal pose to Alabasta, so it wouldn't take too long.
