HERE'S PART B!
Benji: Jess Like's Biting does not own One Piece. She does own Ryan, Jamie, and I.

Okay, here's the reason I added Benji so you all know. My brother noticed me writing and asked to be in the story. I said no, but the tricky little brat said I had to chioce between buying him a game or throwing him in. So... I threw him in! xD His real name is actually Ben. Lolz, I was real creative. Reply to reviews at bottom!


I stared at the old man and young teenager, listening to their story quietly. "This whale is from West Blue."

Benji then spoke up, "He's an Irish whale, one of the largest specie of whale. His name is Laboon."

Claucus spoke up again, "These people are hooligans. They think they can come and attack this whale because he's meat."

Benji shook his head, "They come from the town closest from here. We won't let them touch him! There's a reason he hits his head against the mountain and cries!"

Claucus shook his head sadly, "One day when I was taking care of the light house, a group of pirates came to the mountain with a baby whale."

"They seemed to play with the whale everyday. Usually Irish whales don't have any friends, and just stay alone. But this whale considered those pirates his friends. There ship was broken, so they resided in the town for 2-3 months, but wanted to leave Laboon because they knew it would be a dangerous trip for them."

"When they left, they asked me to take care of him and because I became close with them I agreed."

Benji then jumped in the conversation, "They told him that they would travel around the world then return for there friend. Laboon understands this and waits for his friends to return."

I frowned at the story, Poor guy.

"It's been 50 years." Claucus stated quietly.

"He hits his head against the mountain trying to get to the other side, he still thinks those pirates are alive."

I stared at Benji for a moment before looking back at Claucus. He sighed leaning against the railing of the ship, "So, what are you two doing here?"

"I'm a doctor." Claucus stated simply, "Benji is just a friend."

Benji nodded quietly following Claucus up the ladder to the small platform near the exit. I gasped I hadn't even realized that we were floating towards the exit during the story. I was so caught up in I guess I wasn't paying enough attention.

Sadly the whale reminded me of my mother. I sighed looking down at the deck tuning back in to the conversation at hand between Claucus and the crew.

"So you're giving the whale medical treatment from the inside?" Ryan questioned.

"Yes, he's gotten too big for outside treatment."

Benji and Claucus grabbed onto the small wheel to push the door open, "Here we'll open the door for you."

The ship pulled out of the whale and out into the real ocean water, "I see the real sky!" Luffy grinned.

"What should we do with them?" Zoro asked pointing to the two weird strangers.

"Throw them out." Ryan said waving it off.

With one toss both strangers were thrown off the ship and into the water.

Luffy leaned against the railing staring down at the two figures. "Who are you guys?"

"None of your business!" The blue haired girl yelled.

The man next to her just smirked, "Wait, Ms. Wednesday, even though it's none of there business we still have some relationship with pirates."

She smirked also, "You're right Mr. Nine! It really involves our company you better be prepared!"

And with that they quickly swam away, "We will see you again soon, pirates!"

Sanji blew smoke hearts from his cigarette, "Her name is Ms. Wednesday? How mysterious!"

I rolled my eyes at him turning to Luffy, he held up some type of watch, "Whose is this?"

Nami looked down at Benji and Claucus, "Should we have let them go?"

Ryan nodded, "They will only return."

Benji shrugged, "If we kept them, they would have just sent more people."

We landed on a small piece of rock next to the whale, and climbed off the ship, "So, it's been 50 years and he still thinks they'll return?" I questioned shaking my head with my hands in my pockets.

"50 years is a really long time to make him wait!" Luffy said.

Sanji turned to our captain, "Idiot! This is the grand line! They said they would be back in 2-3 years."

He stared at him shocked, "So they're dead?!"

Ryan shook his head sadly, "No matter how long he waits, they'll never return."

Ussop stared angrily at Sanji and Ryan, "How can you say that?! They could come back! You don't know!"

I nodded my head, "Yes, it's good to see the whale is still keeping his side of the promise."

Benji shook his head, "They are already gone."

Claucus nodded sadly, "I checked. They already left from the grand line."

"What?!" Ussop and I yelled shocked.

"The whale was abandoned!?" Nami yelled, "But if they escape from here they have to go to calm belt!"

"That wouldn't be a safe trip with all of those sea monsters." Ryan added.

"That's right." Benji nodded.

"We don't know if they're dead or alive still."

"But they will never come back." Benji nodded.

Claucus glared out into the sea, "If you are not strong enough, you won't survive in this sea. Once you experience the fear of the Grand Line, you become weak."

Zoro sat quietly staring up and Sanji as he began to speak, "So, this means they were weak and have a fear of death." He let the ashes from his cigarette fall onto the ground, "So they left without thinking of their promise to Laboon."

"This is cruel." Ryan stated shaking his head sadly.

"He's believed in them for 50 long years. The poor guy." I mumbled.

"Have you told him this?" Nami asked, "He can understand human language can't he?"

"I've already told him. He didn't listen to a word of it."

I looked sadly at the whale, "But, still he doesn't listen. He doesn't believe you."

Claucus nodded sadly, "He bangs his head and faces Reverse mountain everyday."

Benji sighed, "He'll never admit the truth."

Sanji shook his head, "What a whale, he still waits even though he was betrayed!"

I looked down sadly at my hands, and felt a hand firmly grab a hold of my shoulder. I looked up to see Ryan smiling; he must know what I'm thinking of. I smiled sadly up at him.

We both understand the whale; understand what waiting means to him. My eyes looked down to the ground, kicking a near by rock out of the way. Our mother left us both when we were 10. I sighed remembering the day as if it were yesterday.

I smiled at my brother swinging across from him at the park. The day was bright and sunny barely a cloud was in the sky. Our mother sat on a bench smiling a huge beautiful smile at us. I waved at her with a grin, Ryan doing the same.

She waved back, and I continued to pump my feet on the swinging watching them quietly humming to myself. I could hear the laughs of other children in the park as they played from the watchful eye of a mother, or a bigger sibling.

I smiled feeling a small gust of wind blow through my light blonde hair. I then turned to my brother who was singing just as high as I was with a smirk, "I bet I can jump hire then you!"

"Yeah right!" He grinned quickly he gave one last push and jumped into the air landing a few feet away.

I stared at him shocked, before quickly concentrating on my own jump, and with one quick movement I was in the air, before I hit it rolling a few inches from my brother. I smiled victoriously, "I win sucker!"

"Enough kids," we both turned to my mother, "Time to go home, me and your father have some big news for you."

We smiled at her before grabbing one of her hands and followed her to our car. We jumped in the back seat buckle our seat belts. It was about an hour drive home as my mom told us before. After about 10 minutes I felt something hit my shoulder. I turned my head to the side to see Ryan on my shoulder.

I smiled tiredly leaning against his head quickly falling asleep.

I felt something shaking my shoulder and I woke up to see my dad smiling down at me, I looked to my side and saw my mom waking up Ryan smiling at him as well. I couldn't help my think something was wrong with their smiles, even though I was only 10 I could still pick out when something was wrong with my parents.

I looked up at my dad, and tilted my head to the side, "What's wrong, daddy?"

He smiled sadly down at me, "Nothing, sweetie."

I smiled up at him, grabbing his hand as he lead me into the house my brother following quietly behind us with a tired expression his hand on my moms.

They sat us down on the couch, and looked at us with a smile, "We have some news kids!"

We both tilted our heads to the side, "Wha?"

My mom smiled down at us, "Your father and I where invited to a convention in New York! We'll be gone for a week and you'll be with your grandparents, alright?"

Ryan looked sadly at them, "B-but a week is a long time."

My father smiled at us, "We know. But you can handle it right; you both are very tough kids."

I looked at Ryan sadly, his face held the same expression. We looked up at them and nodded quietly.

The very next day they left on plane to New York. From what my father has told us, is that when they arrived at the convention (they were actually a famous scientist couple), our mother went ahead of our father and when he reached the elevator she was in, it quickly closed and then re-opened our mother no where in sight.

He said it was the strangest thing we ever saw, this is what he told the police and no one believed him. They all just said it was an accuse to her divorcing him, which was impossible! Anyone who knew our parents knew they were very happy together!

I've waited for any sign of her, anything at all. But now, it'll be almost impossible to ever see her again now that we're in this world.

I quickly jumped when I heard Ryan speak from next to me, "Why'd you still get involved with the whale?"

I looked at Claucus and Benji and they looked at the whale, "Look at the scars on his forward."

Benji sadly continued for Claucus, "If he continues to hit his head. He will die."

Claucus bumped back into the conversation, "I've been with him for 50 years, I can't let him die."

Luffy screamed, running at the whale with something large in his hand. Ryan raised an eyebrow, "What's he doing?"

Zoro watched Luffy climb up the whale, "Maybe he wanted to go for a hike on it."

Luffy lifted the large object before yelling, "I've arrived at your forehead! You're new scar will go here!"

And with one jerk of his hand he lift the object, which kinda of looked familiar, over his head and pushed it down onto the whale.

Everyone sat calmly, before Ryan spoke up, "Is that the mast of the ship?"

Ussop then calmly turned to him, "Sure is."

The whale cried out, which caused a chain reaction.

Ryan, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, and I: "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Ussop: "HE BROKE OUR SHIP'S MAST!"

Claucus and Benji: "…!"

I watched the scene play out in front of me quietly. Luffy then hit the whale again as it called out angrily at him.

Luffy then was thrown against the ground of the small piece of rock we were all on and grinned up at Laboon, "We are even now."

Luffy then continued standing to his feet, "But we still don't know who won this fight, so we'll come back and fight again!"

"You're friends are dead. But I'm still alive, which means we'll go threw the grand line and come see you again!"

I watched the whale, its eyes watering slightly. I smiled at the sight.

Luffy then grinned, "We'll fight again one day!"

--

I blinked at the hideously drawn picture on the whale's face, it was our Jolly Rodger. I laughed quietly at it, before looking back at Luffy. His face was sweaty due to the amount of work it took to draw the huge picture on the whale, "This is a promise between me and you!"

Nami sat at the small table, "I'm going to plan our next route."

Ryan sat next to her, helping her anyway he could. Sanji came dancing out, "I have lunch!"

I sighed moving to go help the struggling Ussop. Zoro was leaning against the railing of the ship while Ussop asked for assistances from him. I smiled, "I'll help."

I held the mast up with Ussop's help, before concentrating about putting it back together. Slowly the wood formed itself back together before it could be fixed together all the way, a scream ripped through the air.

"Nami-san what's wrong!?" Sanji asked concerned.

I lifted one eye open, still concentrating on my task but catching Ryan and Nami's shocked expression. "The compass is broken!"

"What?!" Luffy asked shocked.

"It won't stop spinning!"

Finally the mast was nice and sturdy, so I pulled away wiping the sweet the gathered on my face away.

Benji shook his head, "Idiots."

"You can't use a commonsense in here! The compass isn't broken." Claucus said with a shake of his head.

Nami looked up at him, "Is it a magnetic field?"

"Yup." Benji said with a nod, "It covers every inch of this place."

"Also the stream and wind here are uncertain! If you were a real navigator you should know about the danger of this place. You're only going to go out there and die without an knowledge."

Nami shook her head slightly to Claucus words, "He's right without knowing the direction, we'd be hopeless."

Nami sighed, "I don't know how to solve this."

Ussop's jaw dropped, "What?!"

"Even though you don't know you're still beautiful!" Sanji said hearts coming out of his eyes.

Benji spook up, "You need a log pose."

Nami spook up confused, "Log pose? Never heard of it."

Claucus stepped forward, "It's a very special kind of compass."

Luffy spoke up taking a break from shoving the food down his throat, "You mean a strange compass?"

Benji nodded, "It's shape is different from any other compass."

Luffy then finished around in his pocket taking out something, "Does it look like this?"

Claucus nodded, "Yes."

Benji just continued, "Without a log pose you can't travel the grand line, it's hard to find one outside of the grand line."

Nami held her hand up to stop him from talking, "Wait a minute…"

"…HOW CAN YOU GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND NOT TELL US?!" Nami screamed punching Luffy out of his seat.

He looked up at Nami, "The mystery people left it on our ship."

She looked surprised, "Them?"

He nodded his head rubbing he's head from the punch.

She held the log pose up to her face, "So this is a log pose? But there's no letters on it."

"Each island has its own magnetic field." Benji stated.

"You have to save one magnetic field that attracts it to another." Claucus stated, "Then use that to guide you to the next location."

"The log pose is the only thing you can trust in the middle of now where. But no matter where you begin you will all end up at the last location, the last island in the grand line."

Claucus stopped Benji, continuing for him, "That Island is Raftel. It's the final destination in the Grand Line. According to history the only pirates to ever arrive there is Gold Rodger."

Ussop grinned, "So One Piece must be on that island!"

"No one has ever reached there."

"Well, it's okay if we try!" Luffy grinned at everyone.

Sanji gasped, "You ate all of Nami and Jamie's food!"

He glared at him evilly; Nami looked down at the log pose around her wrist. "I'll take very good care of this! It's the most important thing to us right now."

With one swift kick from Sanji Luffy was sent forward and the sound of glass shattering meet our ears. I gasped, the log pose! Luffy broke it!
