Day 12: whale
Actually harder than you'd think. I didn't want to monologue again, but couldn't think of any good ideas for what to do. Until this of course.

Brook had always had a thing for aquatic mammals. Or, as is probably more accurate, aquatic mammals had a thing for Brook and his music. This had been proven by his dolphin friend over in West Blue, Laboon and now the orca that was following the Thousand Sunny.

"So, Brook. Does your music draw anything that hears it nearer or is it just whales and the like?" Franky asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, a rather large orca has been following us since you last played Bink's Sake."

"My music has been known to appeal to marine life before, so I think it's just whales and the like, though there might be a few sharks around. It has been known to attract them as well," Brook replied.

"Ah, so it's mystery music! Cool!" Luffy said. He had been listening from above the two older people (he wasn't sure what Brook preferred to be known as) and was now thoroughly interested in Brook's marine mammal calling capabilities.

"Hey, what's going on out here? Something about whale calling?" Zoro asked as he walked over. He had only heard Brook's final comment and Luffy's loud exclamation and, like Luffy, was curious about 'whale whispering'.

"We were discussing Brook's musical capabilities for being a whale whisperer," Franky said frankly.

"Hey! Franky-kun! You've got the wrong idea!" Brook yelled, then said almost too calmly, "It's also happened to dolphins and the occasional ship's cat."

"You're proving my point here!"

"It's decided! The next island we get to we are testing your mystery music skills!" Luffy announced.

"DON'T DECIDE THESE THINGS ON YOUR OWN, IDIOT!" The rest of the crew yelled, even the ones out of earshot. They had a strange sense of when Luffy was deciding something without them agreeing to it.

"Shishishi! You guys are funny!" Luffy laughed it off, having decided. No-one could dissuade him now.

They reached the next island, called Kujira Island. Luffy bounded off the ship, taking Brook, Zoro, Franky and Brook's violin with him.
"Wonder where they're being forced off to in such a hurry," Robin commented, "I do hope Luffy hasn't sent them to their deaths."

"Robin-chwan is so beautiful when she's morbid!" Love noodle spun round Robin, either unaware or ignoring the forced smile on Robin's lips.

Back with the whale whisperers.

"So what happens now?" Asked Zoro, who was thoroughly unimpressed with his captain. He had been planning to sleep but nooo, he just had to be dragged into a clearing and be slapped by multiple trees who seemed to be out for revenge. For what, he didn't know.

"Well, I'm going to start playing, and we shall see the extent of my so-called 'whale whispering'," Brook said.

"Ok that works," Zoro said, and promptly fell asleep. Brook began playing.

Yohohohho, yohohoho
Yohohoho, yohohoho

Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
Umikaze kimikaze namimakaze
Shio no mukou de, yuuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa wo kaku, tori no uta...

By the end, 5 whales, 7 dolphins, 1 shark, 3 dogs, 29+ rabbits and the occasional ship's cat had stopped to listen to Brook's playing.
"Well, I think we can safely say it doesn't just work for whales," Franky concluded.

"Agreed."

Kujira is whale in Japanese. Yes, I do like some accuracy in these things. On another note, one day left 'til half term! (Dons halloween costume) Take that!

Ps. Just me singing to the small part of Bink's sake?
