The wind screamed at Luffy's face as he soared through the night sky. He rocketed high over the ocean, still big and round from the meat he had eaten. Speeding toward Amazon Lily, he crossed over the shore and jungle that led to a village. Far below him, Kuja warriors grabbed bows and arrows but were too late to react to the blob blasting through the air.

His momentum slowed, and he tumbled toward Kuja Castle. He spun, unable to tell up from down, and smashed through the roof of a tower. His fall continued until he splashed into hot water.

"I'll drown!" He flailed. "I'll die, help!"

He touched the floor with his sandals and stood.

"Oh, it's just a bath."

He wiped water from his eyes, and there in the distance stood a woman who had her back to him, and between her shoulder blades was a slave brand. The woman glanced over her shoulder.

"You saw it." She formed a heart with her hands. "LOVE-LOVE MELLOW!"

Luffy sensed the attack but was too large to move. A beam of hearts washed over him, and he turned to stone.
