Drabble...
Humans. What were they doing? Swimming out here, in the middle of nowhere, far from land…?
Mmm…that black haired boy. He smelled good to eat. Despite all the salt water surrounding the boy, I could still make out the faint smell of meat and blood coming from him. Ah yes, blood. It was trickling from the cuts in his feet. I swim closer to the two humans. That green haired man…he looks quite tasty. Lot's of meat on him. If I manage to kill them off quickly, their bodies will fill my stomach for days… Delightful!
My hundreds of teeth grind together in anticipation. How long have I not eaten already…? Humans have a disadvantage at sea. It will be an easy kill. I swim ever closer. They will not notice me…
Suddenly, the black haired boy turns to grin at me. I freeze in place. What? How did he know I was here?! The green haired man glances over his shoulder and swims towards the boy.
"Why did you stop, Luffy?" I hear the man ask the boy. I sink down low. Perhaps I can sneak in quickly and take a bite out of one of them…?
"Hey…isn't that a shark…?" The green haired man is pointing at me.
Shoot! Damn my dorsal fin…!
"Yep! Lunchtime!" The black haired boy shouts cheerily. I wonder what he means…?
There is something rising under me. What is it? I look down. It's…a humongous whale! It's head is almost three times as long as I am! Incredible… Could this be the rumored whale and boy, Luffy and Laboon? I remember my friend telling me about them as we passed by… The black haired boy named Luffy who befriended the monstrous whale, Laboon. Word was that Luffy had been abandoned in the sea... there were eyewitnesses from the manta rays and fish… Laboon had only been half my size then, I've been told. And the whale took care of the black haired boy…
But that rumor was from years ago!
Who knew that it was true? And that I would meet them today?
There is a mouth coming up to catch me. Laboon…he used to be half my size… How did he grow so…big?!
The end is coming. I can feel it. The mouth underneath me is opening wider. I'll never escape fast enough! Those humongous teeth. I am being swallowed! Cavernous. The light bouncing off the waves is disappearing.
Darkness.
Oh, the poor shark...
Well, the ocean is an eat or be eaten world...
