Just take out the spaces.
I'm copying and pasting this from SilverReplay's story and alert, so yeah.
VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE
SOPA IS BACK
If the act is passed, all sites such as fanfiction, deviantart and tumblr will be taken down, and people who make fanart or fanfics for ANYTHING could get into serious trouble. The worst part is, America seem to think they can control the world... Not only will this ridiculous act affect them, it will affect us ALL. Noone will have any freedom.
And the worst part?
The petition needs 100,000 votes before 19th March. So far it has just over 14,000.
They're trying to pass it quietly this time. 2014 looks like it could be the year that we lose this war against SOPA. We can't let that happen! Sign the petition, and if you're too young, at least pass on this message everywhere you can! There's a hell of a lot more than 100,000 of us out there, but we all need to pitch in, or it's over! We only have a week to get more than 85,697 signatures! DON'T IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM.

Grand Line - Going Merry, Jack's POV
I keep my panic to a bare minimum as we are being swallowed by the one of the few largest characters/creatures I have ever known and seen in the World of One Piece, Laboon.
I look at my crewmates and suddenly notice Luffy not among us, this makes me remember a scene in the Anime when Luffy falls of the ship and grabs one of Laboon's teeth to keep from drowning.
I call out to the others "Everyone, just keep calm and we can get out of this."
This thankfully snaps the others out of their terrified state, as they all calm down I notice a light ahead which leads me to believe we are heading for the stomach and about to meet a certain individual.
Going Merry - Laboon's Stomach, Jack's POV
I look around at the wide open space of the stomach and it is surprising the look of the painted walls of the inner stomach.
I vaguely listen to the others as they go through the motions of this scene of meeting Crocus and their revelations of where they are. I do feel worry about the stomach acids which are slowly burning and digesting the ship.
We all work together to get to the clearly and amusingly marked exit to Laboon when I hear a odd sound, I look up and smile in amusement at the silhouettes of three familiar figures.
One of whom I know personally, the other two I only know from the Manga and Anime; Its is Luffy who is slowly falling down into the stomach juices of Laboon with the other two figures joining him for a dip soon after.
I help them get on board the ship but keep an eye on the two others as Luffy explains what happened to him to his crew.
I notice the return of Crocus who yells out definitely "You Parasites are still here, I grow weary of this and for the last time!"
He calls out with further defiance to both of our new passengers "As long as I draw breath, YOU WILL NOT LAY A SINGLE HARMFUL FINGER ON LABOON!"
As Luffy asks the others about Crocus while I tense in preparation for what is supposedly about to happen.
As the two supposed whale hunters prepare their weapons and are about to fire; I dash with a quick Aura Streak towards their cannons, calling out my attack as I grab my swords.
Nitoryu Iai: Subayaku Surasshu/Two Sword Style Draw and Re-sheath Technique: Quick Slash" I slash my swords upwards as I draw them out, cutting the end off their bazookas; making the cannonballs just roll out unexploded and swiftly return my swords to their Saya's (Scabbards).
I turn give a glare to the would be attackers but it is not needed as Luffy has jumped up and knocked them out by smacking their heads together.
The others give us both confused looks as we unintentionally give our answer at the same time "I just, wanted to hit'em" (Luffy) "I didn't want them harming the whale or old man" (Myself).
As the old man linked his floating home to our ship I helped Usopp in tying the two would be whale killers up, Crocus asks us "I thank you both for saving myself and Laboon but why did you do it?"
Luffy gives his answer with a grumpy yet stupid expression "I wasn't trying to save you or the whale, there was just something about those two that I didn't like."
I give my answer back saying with a gentle smile "I wouldn't let those two people harm a magnificent creature like this one and the one who is trying to protect it."
He gives a grateful nod in my direction for my sincere answer as Nami asks Corcus "Why are these two crooks so interested in this whale and what are you doing inside as well?"
Crocus gives his answer while sitting on a nearby deck chair that he brought with him from the main house island.
"These two are from a nearby town who want to use Laboon as a food source which would feed their island and village for 2-3 years easily, all that they are concerned with are feeding their greedy bellies and don't care about what they do to get it."
"Laboon?" Nami asks confused.
He answers back saying "That's the Whale's name, he a unique and magnificent creature"
"An Island Whale, One of the largest species that can only be found in the West Blue."
"So far as you think you know" I think to myself as I remember the scene in the anime when the Straw Hats are making their way to the New World.
I return to the conversation just as Crocus finishes his explanation of Laboon "...He is completely devoted to a certain group of pirates and is awaiting their return, going on 50 long years now."
The others are shocked by this as I hide my expression by turning away, hiding my sad face at the fact of one of the last surviving members being trapped in that dreaded place; going slowly mad.
As Crocus tells of the tale about Laboon and his relationship of the pirates I clench my fist at the pain and sadness that is radiating from Laboon's Aura which is almost overwhelming as I try to keep my powers under control.
This is one of the drawbacks of my powers, if an individual is feeling or has deep emotional scars when I am in close proximity I can almost feel and experience their emotions and trauma.
It is hard as I am inside Laboon at the moment but I push through the strain and concentrate on helping the others sail to the exit.
As we reach it I suddenly have a flash of emotion so strong and painful that I give a quiet gasp as I can barely see my aura flash indigo and green for a moment as I get a lasting thought from Laboon "Why haven't you come back yet Brook, I want to hear you play the music again and have fun with everyone."
I struggle to break from the hold that Laboon's emotions are keeping me trapped in but I just barely manage.
I feel tears and overwhelming sympathy as well as pity fill me at how much Laboon must have suffered in his isolation much like Brook must be feeling at the moment.
I pull myself out of the deep emotions as I notice the others haven't seen my ordeal yet, I wipe my face and calm down with a quick breathing exercise to clear my head and emotions.
We are soon out of the Whale with the others appearing much happier at being out of harms way, I know what may happen and I wish to prevent it so I make sure to keep my eye on Luffy as Crocus explains his theory's and tales of Laboon along with the relationship they share.
As the others are entranced in their conversation with Crocus I stay ready and when Luffy creeps off towards the mast I am about to strike but I notice that the two prisoners have got away as I remember them jumping off the ship and making their get away.
"I'll be seeing those two soon." I think as I return my attention to Luffy who is about to grab the Mast and rip it off the ship.
I quickly bind him with a call of "Aura Rope: Binding Lasso" of which quickly wraps and stops Luffy in his tracks as he falls over covered in yellow ropes that keep him immobile.
The others see me and all call out shocked "Jack, what are you doing to Luffy?!"
I quickly explain "This Baka was about to rip the Mast off and supposedly use it to harm Laboon."
The others turn to an annoyed yet sheepish Luffy as Nami asks "Is this true Luffy?"
He answers back with a very bad act of nonchalance "Yeah, I was gonna get his attention and have a fight with him."
The others look at Luffy with annoyed and bewildered expressions and are about to yell at him for his stupid actions and thoughts when the ship suddenly shakes and rocks as we hear Crocus yell out "Laboon, NO!"
We look at Crocus as we see his panicking expression which he explains in a rush "Laboon has came out of the drugs I gave to calm him down, he must have developed a better resistance to them as he is usually quite docile for a long time until he starts up again by smashing into the Red Line."
I think on what to do as I get a crazy yet brilliant idea, "Would it work though?" I will have to try as I don't want Laboon to suffer any more.
I reach out to Laboon as my body and eyes flash indigo as I communicate with him in my mind "Laboon STOP!"
The response is immediate as the sea calms and the ship stops rocking as I get a return thought from Laboon "Who are you and what are you doing?" I answer back quickly "I am Jack, one of the people aboard the ship nearby, I am talking to you with my mind and powers."
"Why are you doing this?" Laboon asks in return as I answer back "I want to help you and to tell you that I know where to find Brook."
I suddenly get a messed up jumble of emotions and questions from Laboon like "How do you know about Brook and where are the others?" or "Why haven't they come for me yet?" I can feel the hope, pain, sadness and fear from Laboon as he asks me these questions.
I try my best to answer them and calm him down "I have future knowledge of what is going to happen and this pirate crew I am with meets Brook but he is different than what you may remember due to an accident and unfortunate circumstance."
"What happened?" I feel the deep need and urgency of Laboon as with a heavy heart I try my best to answer "All of the crew died of an illness that slowly killed them, one by one until Brook was the only survivor due to a power he gained during his travels through the oceans but he is only a living skeleton now after many years after his survival."
I can feel the pain and sadness double from Laboon as he asks hesitant "Why hasn't Brook come to find me?"
I hesitate until the I remember the excruciating emotions I felt from him not too long ago as I answer back "He is trapped in a dark and scary maze, very far from here and he cannot get out; not without the help of this crew who can help him."
I get a reply from him "Why can't I help him?" I get another wave of depression from this question as I answer back with trepidation "Because of where he is, you may die trying to get there."
He asks "Then how can you save him?"
I smile a little "I know what is going to happen so I know how to save him and bring him back to you, though it may take a few years for him to get back to you as he would have to go around the world to get to you and it is best that you keep safe and alive so that you can meet again properly."
I can still feel the sadness and loneliness from him until I get an idea on how to calm him down better.
"Laboon?" I get his attention, "Would you like to hear the music again and to feel the joy you once had?"
I get a curious feeling from Laboon as he asks "How can you do that?"
I smile as I answer back "By using my power, but I need you to remember all of the good and fun you once had while I do so."
I get a cautious agreement from him as I partially break my mental connection until I feel his mind at the back of mines.
I then notice that the others are looking at me oddly as I ask "What's up?"
Nami answers back with confusion "You were glowing and standing completely still, what happened?"
I smirk and say "I was communicating with Laboon with my powers to see if I could calm him down and It looks like I did but I need to do something for Laboon."
They all look at me all asking "What?"
I smirk even more as I say "This," "Aura Manipulation: Emotional Violinist" I form the Aura around me until it turns into a Orange Violin with Green Strings and a Indigo Fiddle.
I get in position as I say a last thought to Laboon "This is for you."
Music begins to play:

Music Ends.
I finish the song with a last few movements of my fiddle.
I notice the astonished looks on the others and Crocus who asks "How in the devil do you know that song?"
I grin at the delighted and contently happy feelings and emotions coming from Laboon.
I answer back "Laboon taught me the song and how he remembered hearing it always helped him be happy and calm so I played it using my powers to help him not suffer any more."
I get a confused look from Nami as she asks "How did you do that?"
I answer back explaining "Well, you know how I can use aura and that it is linked to emotions."
I get a nod back as I continue explaining "Well I can project emotions also onto others and help them if they are suffering from a deep pain of emotional harm, I just helped him remember and feel the joy he once felt when he was with his old crew and friends."
I get a shocked look from Nami and Crocus as he asks "Do you use Devil Fruit Powers?"
I nod and explain about how difficult it was feeling the emotions of someone so hurt and alone.
I get a sudden thought from Laboon who says "Thank You Jack, I feel so much better now."
I return the gratitude with a thought "You're welcome Laboon, promise that you won't keep bashing your head and injuring yourself as you need to be able to meet Brook in a healthy condition."
"I promise, and will you play with me again when you get back?" Laboon answers back.
I smile at the eager and almost childlike feeling I get from Laboon as I sent a lasting mental thought to Laboon "Sure, I will."
I shake my head and see the others again looking at me oddly as I notice to my amusement that Luffy is still tied up, I wave my arm and the Aura from the bindings disappear and come back into my body.
Luffy stands up and seems to be okay not so annoyed at being tied up.
I speak out "Well, we'd best be heading off if we want to get to the next town or island."
Nami nods as she directs the others to secure and prepare the ship for further travelling as she looks at her compass with a startled and puzzled look.
I notice this as I call out to Crocus as he appears to be heading back to his little lighthouse.
"Hey Crocus, do you have a spare Log Pose we can use."
He gives us a startled look as he asks in befuddlement "You mean you don't have one."
I shake my head as I answer "Nope, couldn't find one on the ship."
Nami looks between us as she asks confused "What's a Log Pose?"
Crocus gives his explanation about the islands unique magnetic signature and how it was impossible to navigate the Grand Line with a Compass with the only way to navigate was with a Log Pose and what a Log Pose is.
Nami gives me an annoyed look as she says with said emotion in her voice "Why didn't you say anything?"
I shrug and say back "I had one not too long ago and was going to give it to you earlier but it broke in Loguetown and I just recently remembered it breaking and you can hardly blame me for not remembering with how much chaos we've been through so far."
She looked sheepish as she nodded in agreement with how hectic it has been lately since our departure in Loguetown.
Crocus speaks again, breaking up our conversation "You can have mine as I don't need it anymore."
He reaches into his pocket and hands Nami a smooth wooden wristband with a glass sphere attached to the top with a needle inside the sphere pointing in a direction that I can guess was the island we needed to get to soon.
As we set sail, Nami following the directions of our new Log Pose I send a now final farewell to Laboon through my powers.
"Goodbye for now Laboon and I hope to see you again with Brook by my side."
I get a return farewell from him soon after "Goodbye Jack, I hope to see you and Brook again soon."
As we set sail I feel determination fill me as I vow to make Laboon's wish come true.
"I promise Laboon, I Promise."
Glad to be back and working again, hope you enjoyed this chapter and hope that you review soon after.
Until next time, Sayonara.
