Miki's POV-
"Let's go! Let's go!" Luffy called as the rest of the crew watches him run around.
"We're almost there, clam down!" Nami says looking ahead.
I let out a small laugh and look up from my notebook to see how close we are to the Grand line, I could see some rocks and a spot for us to get pass. I close my note-book and place it in my bag that I place by the kitchen door.
"Wait." Nami says and I stand up, "It's a waterfall!" We all begin to panic before Nami shouts orders.
"Weeeeeeeee!" Luffy says putting he's arms in the air like this was a roller costar.
I grab on to the railing so I wouldn't fall off the ship, "Is that a rock?" I could barely hear the rest of the crew talking. I see what appears as a huge rock at the end of the waterfall we were riding on.
'A whale?' I question and see scars across the whale before I could say anything I hear Luffy yelling, "Your in the way!" and he's arm reaches out of hit's the whale right in the eye. 'Of course he did.'
The whale opened he's mouth and Luffy lands on its back. I cover my ears to block the noise the whale was making, 'Wait? Are we going to…?' I couldn't finish my thought as the Going Merry is swallow by the giant whale.
Everything went black and suddenly we stop and I fall. 'Great.' Lucky enough I didn't fall off the ship. I stand up and look around making sure no one fall off.
"Is everyone ok?" Nami asks rubbing her head.
"Ya." Zoro said, "What the hell happened?" he asks.
"I'm fine Nami~" Sanji said.
"I'm a-alright." I said checking to see if my guns were still on me.
"Where's Luffy?" Nami asks as we all gather to the front of the deck.
"I saw h-him on the whale before w-we got swallowed." I said looking forward, "Is that an i-island?" I ask pointing.
"What?" Nami says looking around.
'It's so bright in here, it looks like a house.' I look around to see we are surrounding by water and there was an island, with a house, and someone was sitting in a chair. 'Is this really a whale?'
"Hey who are you?" Sanji asks the man on the island.
The man hummed in response before looking up, "How did you get in here?" he asks putting the newspaper he was reading on the ground and stands up.
"A whale swallowed us." Sanji said, "This is a whale right?" he asks.
The old man laughs, "Yes it is. And it's time for you to leave." He says and points towards an opening in the room.
"How are we supposed to get there? There's no wind for the ship to sail." Nami says, "What's your name anyways?" she asks.
"Crocus." The man said and was about to go on when there was a loud noise.
"Ugh. That's probably Luffy." I hear Nami sigh. 'Good he's alive.'
"There are more of you?" Crocus questions.
"Look old man, we're just trying to get to the Grand line." Zoro says rudely and I start to get nervous.
"You are now are you?" Crocus laughs again, "Your just kids."
Zoro was about to make a come back but Nami says something first, "Can you just help us get out of here?"
There was an other loud noise and I look to see someone come flying on to the ship. 'What?' I back away from the guy who had weird hair. I here a splash and see someone drowning. I take my thin, white over shirt and jump into the water. The water was hot but I didn't mind and take a deep breath and dive under water ignoring the protest Nami was shouting. 'Must be a devil fruit user.'
I was wrong, the girl was trying to swim up but her foot is stuck. She had long, blue hair, which is pulled back with a hair tie. I reach for her foot and pulled, she must have not seen me because she filched and kicked me in the face as soon as her foot was lose. I gasp for air and could taste blood in my mouth.
What ever her foot was caught on it opened a gate and water is being pulled towards it. I'm able to stay away from the hole but I hit against the wall, knocking more air out of my body. My lungs felt like they were on fire. The water started to feel warmer to and I began to choke on the water, I inch my way to the surface.
Flashback
"Kaku you need should more careful." I said patting my brothers back as he coughed out water, "This is the fifth time you almost drowned."
"Sorry…sister." My little brother frowns and starts to cry loudly.
I sigh, "Stop crying, you're such a baby." I say.
"I was…so scared…" He cries and grabs me into a hug.
"It's alright." I say hugging him, "I'm here alright? So stop crying."
End Of Flashback
I felt the cool air hit my face and I gasp for air while coughing up water. The water starts to move again pulling me to the opening in the walls that surrounds us. I see the ship following me.
"Miki!" I hear Nami call from the ship and her face pales. At this rate the ship will run me over in the water.
'Think Miki! What could you do to avoid dying?' I couldn't possibly swim against this strong current.
"Miki grab on!" I hear Luffy yell as he stretches out his arm and I reach for his hand. The next thing I know is me flying through the air and landing hard against the deck on the ship.
"Ow." I mumble and sit up rubbing my long, wet, black hair.
"Are you ok?" Nami asks handing me my white over shirt, "I thought you were going to drown."
"I'm f-fine." I say trying to smile.
"You're bleeding!" Sanji says running to get something.
I reach up and touch my lip, it hurts. I pull back to see a drop of blood. I look around the ship, 'The girl is she ok?' I see her sitting next to the guy with he's hair in the shape of a three. She looked at me with what I think is a guilty expression.
"I hit my head when I went under water." I say and the blue hair girl looked at me with widen eyes.
I turn to Luffy who was talking to the old man, Crocus, and smile. 'He saved me again.' I stood up putting my over shirt on and tie my hair back with the hair tie I had on my wrist.
"Thanks Luffy." I said and he turned around with his wide grin on his face.
"No problem." Luffy says simple.
Sanji hands me a towel and I press it to my lip. Then I turn to the two other people who Nami was yelling at.
"Who are you anyways?" Nami asks.
"I'm Mr. Three." The man said proudly, "This is my partner Miss. Wednesday." He said pointing to the girl with blue hair.
"Nami what's this?" Luffy asks holding up a compass looking thing.
"That my boy is a Log Pose." Crocus said, "You'll need one if you're going to travel the Grand line."
"Why?" Nami asks.
"You kids really don't know much about the Grand line do you?" Crocus said his face turning serious.
"We're here because of this idiot." Zoro said pointing at Luffy, "He is our captain."
"Thanks Zoro." Luffy said smiling.
"Luffy he called you an idiot." Sanji said.
"But he also said captain." Luffy replied.
"Hey! Give that back." Mr. Three yells and he reaches for the Log Pose in Luffy's hand but was stop as Zoro points a sword at he's neck.
I swallow hard, "Zoro its fine." Luffy said and hands Nami the Log Pose, "It's ours now."
"How are we going to get home?" Miss Wednesday asks.
We all became silent as a gust of wind blows through and there was a bright light. We were outside the whale again, 'Thank god we exited through the mouth.' Nami had the ship sail to where a small light house was.
"We should leave them here! They were trying to kill Laboon!" Nami yells making Mr. Three and Miss Wednesday shake in fear.
"We had too." Mr. Three cries, "Or are boss would kill us."
I turn back to see the whale cry out and bash its head against the wall. My mouth dropped open surprised by the sudden actions of the giant whale. The rest of the crew seemed shocked too and Crocus shook he's head.
"Laboon stop it already." Crocus said but the whale just cried and hit his head again.
"Why is he doing that?" Nami asks Crocus.
"Fifty years ago Laboon came down the ReverseMountain…" Crocus starts to tell the story of Laboon. How he use to travel with some pirates but they left him here at ReverseMountain because they were afraid he would get hurt during their travels. They promised after they traveled the Grand line they would come back for Laboon. But after so many years Crocus told Laboon that they were probably never coming back, Laboon didn't believe him and he started to hit his head against the mountain thinking that the mountain is what stops his friends from returning.
"Poor thing." Nami said looking at the whale.
"Oi!" Luffy called to the whale, "Fight me!" he yells but the whale didn't stop.
"Luffy! What the hell!" Nami yells at him as Luffy punches the whale.
'Here we go…' I smile nervously, 'I just hope Luffy doesn't fall in the water.'
