i don't own One Piece.
Nami shouldn't we reach the Grand Line soon? Asks Lucy.
We just left Loguetown 2 days ago said Nami.
It will take some time before we get there said Nami.
Just be patient said Nami.
Ok said, Lucy.
Feel that sunshine said Sanji.
With weather like it almost seems like that storm was just a bad dream said Sanji.
Hey, I see a flock of birds off the starboard said Ussop.
Are you sure? Asks Lucy.
Yeah, and they're surrounding something I can't make it out exactly but it's big said Ussop.
I wonder what it is said Ussop.
Maybe a fish said, Lucy.
a small boat, a fish, I don't know said Ussop.
I've heard it's common for birds to flock above fish and even trail them said Sanji.
Really? Said, Lucy.
Yeah sounds like lunch to me said Sanji.
You said the magic word said, Lucy.
Gum-gum grab said Lucy.
Whoa, that's a stretch said Ussop.
It never gets old said Sanji.
I caught it said, Lucy.
Lucy reels in her arm.
It seems pretty big said Lucy.
Nice one Lucy said Nami.
You're reeling fast said Sanji.
Dial it down you're gone said Sanji.
The person hits Zoro and he goes overboard.
Oh, I'm sorry said Lucy.
Dumbass said Sanji.
They pull Zoro back on board
Hey, this is no kind of fish I've ever seen said Sanji.
It's a girl said Nami.
Why would leave a child out in the middle of the ocean like that? Asks Nami.
Scene change
The girl wakes up.
You're awake said Nami.
That was quicker than I expected said Nami.
Don't worry you're all right now said Nami.
Nothing that some grub won't cure said Sanji.
I'm cooking some soup if you're hungry said Sanji.
I'm guessing you were shipwrecked said Nami.
What's your name? Asks Nami.
Before asking a stranger questions it's polite to give them your name first said the girl.
Good point, I'm Nami said Nami.
The chef cooking that delicious-smelling soup is Sanji said Nami.
Hi said Sanji.
That's Zoro, despite his scowl he's a good guy said Nami.
Shut up said Zoro.
And you've already the one lying unclnicus on the floor, that's Ussop said Nami.
And I'm the Captain of this pirate ship said, Lucy.
What? Pirates? Said the girl.
That's right and we're on our way to the Grand Line said Lucy.
What's wrong? Asks Nami.
She isn't moving said Lucy.
So what are we supposed to do with her? Asks Zoro.
Um, I'm not sure said Lucy.
i'll have to think it over said Lucy.
I can deal with tomorrow said Lucy.
The next day they wake to a ruckus coming from the Kitchen.
Hey, what's the trouble down there? Asks Sanji.
No trouble I've just been cooking said the girl.
What? Said Sanji.
Everyone's breakfast is ready said the girl.
Breakfast?! Said, Lucy.
I wouldn't get tto excited said Zoro.
Scene change
Turns out "breakfast" is a pile of burnt mush.
You made this all by yourself? Asks Nami.
Mmhmm said the girl.
The appearance is quite unique said Ussop.
Yeah said Lucy.
Let's eat said Lucy.
Not only did you guys rescue me, you gave me food and shelter as well said the girl.
I finally found a way for me to pitch in and help said the girl.
That's really thoughtful said Nami.
Thank you said Nami.
Uh is this considered food? Asks Zoro.
Just eat it said Nami.
Seriously though is this stuff safe to eat? Asks Ussop.
Oh yeah, it tastes good said Lucy.
Of course after all you can't judge a meal by appearance alone said Sanji.
Are you sure? Asks Ussop.
It wasn't that bad was it? Asks the girl.
Spicy! Said the girl.
My mouth is on fire I must have used the wrong wrong seasoning! Said the girl.
That's ok it's a common mistake said Sanji.
Next time you'll know which spice to avoid said Sanji.
She took the time to cook this feast the least you can do is eat every crumb said Sanji.
This little girl went out of her way for you bums she deserves said Sanji.
Excuse me but I don't think I got your name said Sanji.
It's Apis said Apis.
My name is Apis said Apis.
Apis deserves the respect of seeing you eat her meal said Sanji.
Besides, I won't allow anyone aboard this sip to waste food said Sanji.
I'm sorry said Apis.
I know it's horrible I'm just a very good cook said Apis.
All I wanted was to do something nice said Apis.
Apis don't worry nobody's mad at you really said Nami.
How's this you leave the cooking to me from now on said Sanji.
I'm sure that there are many more interesting things you can do to help out said Sanji.
Are you sure? This is good said Lucy.
So what's your story? Asks Nami.
Why were you adrift at sea? Were you stranded or was someone after you? Asks Nami.
I came from a Marine ship said Apis.
They were holding me, prisoner, said Apis.
Marone ship said Ussop.
I got away three nights ago said Apis.
Three nights ago?! That was during the storm said Nami.
Their little boat didn't stand a chance said Nami.
How did you get in trouble in the first place? Asks Zoro.
They to have held you, prisoner, for a reason said Zoro.
What could a little girl like you have possibly gotten into that got the attention of the Marines? Asks Zoro.
Everybody knows their a bunch of twits but I still can't them labeling you an enemy said Zoro.
What'd you do? Asks Zoro.
Well um, I said Apis.
What's wrong are you hiding something? Asks Lucy.
No, it's nothing like that, you have to believe me said Apis.
I'm innocent said Apis.
But still, I can't talk about it said Apis.
You can't tell us said Ussop.
Easy, easy said Sanji.
No big deal she must have her reasons said Sanji.
If she doesn't wanna say we shouldn't press her said Sanji.
Yes, I agree said Nami.
But it would be helpful if you'd at least tell us where you're from said Nami.
Um, I'm from, it's a place called Warship Island said Apis.
Warship Island? Said Nami.
Do you know it? Asks Ussop.
No, but it should be labeled on the map said Nami.
Odd name said, Lucy.
Why is it called Warship Island? Aks Lucy.
Because the shape of the Island looks exactly like a warship said Apis.
I like it said, Lucy.
Look said Nami.
It's close to the Grand Line said Ussop.
We're here so the distance between us and Warship Island is reasonable said Nami.
Well, what do you wanna do Lucy? Asks Nami.
We're headed for the Grand Line so it's no problem for us to drop you off said Nami.
Thank you said Apis.
You were all so nice to save me and I feel for you to go out of your way said Apis.
But I wanna go home more than anything said Apis.
I'm sorry I'm being selfish maybe you could hand me to a ship heading west on your way to the Grand Line I'm sure I can handle things on my own from there said Apis.
Absolutely not said Nami.
No way said Nami.
A pirate ship can't even get close to another vessel without them attacking in plain fear said Nami.
Yeah, you're right said Apis.
Besides we're not anyone's timetable other than our own said Nami
And Warship Island isn't that far off so we can do it said Nami.
What? Said Apis.
We're fine with this, either way, said Nami.
And you dear captain? Asks Nami.
Sure sounds great to me said Lucy.
It's close to where we're going said Ussop.
I know and it's an island that looks like a warship said, Lucy.
I think that's a yes said Sanji.
Really? You don't mind changing course and taking me back home? Said Apis.
Nope said Lucy.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm going home said Apis.
You have no idea what this means said Apis.
You're amazing all of you said Apis.
She offers to make more food for them but everyone declines except Lucy.
Scene change
The Marines find the Straw Hats.
Are they here to claim the bounty on my head? Asks Lucy.
They wouldn't send this many just for you said Nami.
What's wrong with you? Asks Sanji.
Those ships belong to branch 8 said Apis.
They're the ones I escaped from said Apis.
What I am gonna do? Said Apis.
The Marines fire at them and the straw hats are ordered to stop and surrender.
There's no way we're gonna stop for marines said Ussop.
How do you wanna handle this? Asks Zoro.
Cause I wanna fight them said Zoro.
Then I say let's fight said Lucy.
You're crazy said Ussop.
Why must we always fight against impossible odds? Said Ussop.
Apis go downstairs and wait in the cabin said Sanji.
Okay said Apis.
Apis what is it? Asks Sanji.
A wind is coming and it's a strong one said Apis.
Nami orders the crew around.
What's happening? Asks Lucy.
A gust is coming said Nami.
We'll ride it out and move on said Nami.
If we try to take out the fleet head on we'll lose no matter how well we fight said Nami.
Then the wind blows the Going Merry full speed ahead of the Marines.
Whoa, this fast said Lucy.
We got a good wind huh? Said, Lucy.
We did it Lucy look the Marines are falling behind said Ussop.
Scene change
Hahaha, they aren't following us said Ussop.
See old captain Ussop can even scare a Marine fleet away said Ussop/
Perfect another triumph by our expert navigator said Lucy.
Well done Nami said Sanji.
Incredible how you detected that wind before it hit said Sanji.
Aww, all I did was pay attention to my gut instincts said Nami.
Only you could be humble in your perfection said Sanji.
Now we continue on to Warship Island said Lucy.
You mean you'll still take me? Said Apis.
Of course, said Lucy.
Ok then to Warship Island it is said Ussop.
What's wrong Zoro? Asks Nami.
You've had that moody look on your face for a while said Nami.
Yeah, I guess I'd hoped a was dreaming said Zoro.
About what? Asks Nami.
This may sound crazy but it seems to me we're not even moving said Zoro.
Now that you mention it the sail doesn't appear to be catching any wind at all said Nami.
Then she screams.
Nami? Said Lucy.
What's wrong? Asks Lucy.
Are you hurt? Asks Sanji.
We're screwed said Nami.
We've entered the Calm Belt said Nami.
The Clam belt? Said Ussop.
What's that? Asks Lucy.
Calm Belt said Nami.
A part of the sea where nothing moves a muscle said Nami.
So there are Muscles and Calms? Asks Lucy.
No said Nami.
Start paddling we need to get out of here now said Nami.
This is a sailboat why do we need to paddle? Asks Zoro.
Why would go through the trouble of doubling back when the Marines are waiting for us? Asks Ussop.
Look there's no time to argue, just shut up and do as I say said Nami.
At least it's nice and quiet here said Lucy.
Mmhmm said Ussop.
Fine if I need to explain it to you I will said Nami.
In our haste to escape from the Marines, we ended up going too far south and now we're off course and stuck out here said Nami.
Did we enter the Grand Line? Asks Lucy.
If we were at the Grand Line do you think I'd waste my time explaining this? Yells Nami.
Scene change
Nami brings out a map.
Now, look said Nami.
The Grand Line is sandwiched in the middle between these two gray areas you see here, you understand? Said Lucy.
This area's just as there labeled are called the Calm Belt that's where we are said Nami.
Nobody knows why but inside the Calm Belt there's no wind and no current, it's like a void where everything is still said Nami.
Given that sailboats move by catching wind this is can more than a dangerous area for ships said Nami.
Get it? Asks Nami.
Nope, but it sounds like we're trouble said Lucy.
Good, you retained more than I thought you would said Nami,
So this the geezer meant when he said it would be dangerous said Sanji.
Well, that would explain why we haven't gotten a single gust of wind said Zoro.
Are we gonna get out of this if our ship can't move? Asks Ussop.
Maybe the wind will start blowing again said Lucy.
The wind never blows in the Calm Belt and that's not all there's another good reason people call this area dangerous said Nami.
It's infested with… said Nami.
Then the ship starts to move.
Here they come said Nami.
Sea monsters said Lucy.
They're gigantic said Lucy.
The Calm Belt is also home to the Sea Kings it's their main place for breeding said Nami.
Their the biggest reason people can't cross the Calm Belt said Nami.
Any idea of how we get out of this? Asks Sanji.
Yes everybody don't move a muscle said Zoro.
We don't want to give them any reason to stick around or eat us said Zoro.
Once they're gone we'll paddle back said Zoro.
Got it? Said Zoro.
You call that a plan? Shouts Ussop.
Shut up said Nami.
Sorry said Ussop.
One of the Sea King's attacks.
A giant frog is attacking us said Lucy.
Apis falls off the ship and Lucy stretches her arm to grab her.
Your arm is stretching said Apis.
Lucy, did you get your ability from eating a Devil Fruit? Asks Apis.
Yeah, that's right said Lucy.
Hey said Apis.
Hmm? Said Lucy.
Stretch your arm downwards again said Apis.
Lucy said Ussop.
What are you doing? Asks Nami.
No idea guys said, Lucy.
Apis said Nami.
Watch out said Ussop.
What in the hell did she just do? Asks Zoro.
She picked a nose-hair said Lucy.
That didn't improve anything said Ussop.
It feels like it's gonna said Nami.
I think these behemoths gonna sneeze said Sanji.
Get ready we're going for a ride said Lucy.
Alright feeling like we're flying said Lucy.
In case you haven't noticed we are flying said Ussop.
Looks like we landed back where we started said Nami.
Yeah and no sign of the Marines either said Zoro.
I thought I was a goner said Ussop.
Quick thinking said Lucy.
Thank you said Apis.
Ok, set the sails said Lucy.
And our destination is? Asks Nami.
Where else? Warship Island said Lucy.
Scene change
I can't see a thing said Ussop.
Well, we can see the fog said Lucy.
Apis are you certain about the coordinates? Asks Sanji.
No said Apis.
No? But you said… said Ussop.
Relax I'm we'll come upon it any moment now said Nami.
You're so confident said Sanji.
I sure wouldn't side against you said Lucy.
Look said Apis.
Ooh, it's a sailboat said Lucy.
It's gigantic said Lucy.
Not so fast said Sanji.
You say it's "Gigantic"? That doesn't even begin to describe it said Zoro.
Ok, fine it's super humgmugus said Lucy.
No, you're missing the point said Nami.
That's not a ship, that's the island it's itself said Apis.
It was named because it looks like Warship said Apis.
Yeah, I see it now said Lucy.
Scene change
They are on the beach by villagers.
I'm home! Hi everyone said Apis.
Villager: what are you doing? Why are you with Pirates?
Villager 2: why did you bring them here Apis?
Hey, you, I have a question said, Lucy.
Villager: yeah? What do ya want?
Do you know any good bbq restaurants here? Asks Lucy.
Villagers: huh?
Villager: what kind of a question is that Pirate?
Relax said Apis.
They're not bad Pirates, they're nice and helpful said Apis.
Villager: I didn't think there was a thing as a nice and helpful Pirate.
Yup said Apis.
Villager 2: how is it you end up with these people? The last time we saw you, you were taken away by the Marines.
That's right but I escaped from the Marines and then I was stranded in the ocean but this lady rescued me just in time said Apis.
Yup said Lucy.
The villagers ask why she was taken in the first place. They then tell her it wasn't safe for her there because the Marines were still in the area.
Where else would I go? Asks Apis.
We really would like to help said Sanji.
Villager: wait minute these strangers are Pirates, right?
So what do I do? Asks Apis.
Listen, we aren't out to get you said Ussop.
Man: Apis.
Come to my house child said the old man.
Who's that? Asks Nami.
Don't know said Lucy.
Grandpa Bukoden said Apis.
I'm glad you're safe my dear said Bokuden.
Thank you for saving my granddaughter's life I'm in your debt said Bokuden.
I know, in honor of Apis's safe return, i'll throw a celebration for you and your crew said Bokuden.
What's on the menu? Asks Lucy.
Some tasty BBQ? Asks Lucy.
Sorry, I'm afraid not Lucy said Apis.
But Grandpa Bokuden's pork buns are the best on the whole island said Apis.
Alright, let's eat said Lucy.
Sure I could eat said Zoro.
Meanwhile, Branch 8 finds out that the straw hats and Apis are on the island.
Scene change
There we go, almost ready said Bokuden.
Just a little bit longer now said Bokuden.
Can't wait said Lucy.
Smells good said Ussop.
Finally, real food said Sanji.
Old man, how much longer do we have to wait? Asks Sanji.
If I had to guess I'd say no more than 4 or 5 hours said Bokuden.
What? Said Lucy and Ussop.
Scene change
Aww, I'm so hungry said Lucy.
Bokuden why are the Marines after Apis? Asks Nami.
What could they possibly be after? Asks Nami.
Apis do you know why? Asks Bokuden,
No sir said Apis.
That's not what you said earlier said Nami.
You knew but refused to tell said Nami.
Oh, that? I lied said Apis.
Well, then I don't know said Bokuden.
You're kiddin me shouts Ussop.
I'm sorry but there's really vigilant about this Island said Bokuden.
Nothing but an old legend said Bokuden,
A legend? Said Zoro.
Some say the people of this island are descendants of those from the lost island which sink into the sea thousands of years ago. It was also home to the millennial dragons. The bones of these dragons were called Dragonite or the elixir of immortality said Bokuden.
Doesn't make sense the Marines would invade your home over a legend said Sanji.
And why steal the girl? Said Sanji.
I agree they have to have a better reason than that said Ussop.
It certainly sounds desperate to me said Nami.
We're overlooking something maybe the legend holds a clue said Zoro.
Well then we should start in the beginning said Bokuden.
Here we go again said Apis.
Kill me now said Ussop.
Apis sneaks away during the story.
Thank goodness I got out of there, once grandpa starts that story he goes on forever said Apis.
Oh, I'm starving said Ussop.
I think it will be a while before we eat again said Nami.
Those pork buns smell delicious I want them now said Ussop.
Pork buns said, Lucy.
Lucy starts to walk out of the house.
Lucy said to Nami.
Scene change
Hold on Gramps Ryuu said Apis.
Then she turns and sees Lucy.
Oh, no said Apis.
She's coming here said Apis.
Please don't, don't make me siad Apis.
Then Apis hears a thud.
No way said Apis.
Hold on I didn't even hit her yet said Apis.
Time skip.
Nami screams.
Every bit of food is gone said Nami.
So delicious said Lucy.
What is everyone else gonna eat now that you've inhaled everything? Yells Nami.
I didn't eat them said Lucy.
Right said Nami.
Then Nami sees something on the ground.
This is odd said Nami.
There's a trail said Nami.
The two women follow the trail to some bushes.
Is it a dead end? Asks Lucy.
It makes no sense said Nami.
Then Lucy sticks her head the bush.
Why are you doing that? Asks Nami.
Hey, look said Lucy.
Nami does the same and the trial continues.
They follow the trails to a gorge with no way across.
The trail picks up on the side said Nami.
Lucy said Nami.
On it said Lucy.
Gum-Gum suspension bridge said Lucy.
Nami walks across.
Scene change
We're on the other side of the mountain said Nami.
How far are they gonna go? Asks Lucy.
A cave said Nami.
They enter the cave and hear Apis talking.
Listen that's Apis and she's talking to someone said Nami.
Hey Apis where'd you put all the pork buns? Asks Lucy.
Lucy, you're an idiot said Nami.
Apis tells the two women to stay back and not to come closer.
But Lucy just walks forward and is stunned by what she sees.
Lucy what are you looking at? Asks Nami.
Then Nami is stunned.
Amazing said Lucy.
They do exist I knew it said, Lucy.
Get off of him! Leave him alone said Apis.
Incredible said Lucy.
Where in the world did you come from? Asks Lucy.
Sure I think I understand said Lucy.
You wanna go home is that it? Asks Lucy.
Lucy's Grandpa Ryuu says it's fine with him if you wanna be his friend said Apis.
He says he can tell you're a good person said Apis.
Hey, I've been able to reachable Grandpa Ryuu's mind but how can you? Said Apis.
I can said Lucy.
But how? Asks Apis.
I don't know it just happened how did you know? Said Lucy.
I um said Apis.
Could be a Devil Fruit? Asks Nami.
It's ok really said Nami.
Yeah, I ate one once it was called the whisper-whisper fruit since then I've been able to talk to any animal said Apis.
So that was it said Nami.
How you knew that gust of wind was coming said Nami.
Mmhmm the sea birds were kind enough to tell me about it said Apis.
It was thanks to the Whisper-Whisper that I met Grandpa Ryu said Apis.
She tells how she found and befriend the dragon.
Wait a minute I thought lost island sank into the sea a long time ago said Nami.
Lost Island will surface again eventually, grandpa ryu is absolutely certain about that said Apis.
Grandpa believes the Island will reappear any day now but while he's pretty about the when it's the where that's causing the problem said Apis.
He doesn't remember where it used to be said Apis.
It's not his fault Grandpa Ryu's just gotten old and lost the ability to fly said Apis.
But his spirit is strong as ever said Apis.
He keeps telling me he wants to go back to Lost Island more than anything said Apis.
If only I could figure out a way to find it said Apis.
I've searched through old records and studied ancient maps, but the legend doesn't hold any clues, so when the Marines stopped by I took advantage and asked for their help said Apis.
That was a big mistake, the only thing they were interested in was finding Dragonite said Apis.
As in the source for immortality? Asks Nami.
So that's why they kidnapped you? To help them find Dragonite? Asks Nami.
Yes said Apis.
They wanted me to tell them everything I knew but I wouldn't said Apis.
Then they became obsessed they noticed the pendent Grandpa Ryu gave me said Apis.
Then you escaped during that storm, this is all too dangerous said Nami.
I know and that's why I keep this a secret from the others even Grandpa Bokuden I don't want to cause any more trouble for them said Apis.
But I have to make sure Grandpa Ryu gets back to his home no matter what it takes said Apis.
It's the only way to save him said Apis.
He said he'll get this energy back once he returns to the dragon's nest said Apis.
I'll find a way to get him there no matter if it takes me a lifetime said Apis.
I know how painful it must be to be too far from home and everything you love said Apis.
If he wants to go then i'll take him said Lucy.
Lucy wake up you can't take him home, the lost island sank into the sea remember? Said Nami.
Look at him this is a legendary melinanial dragon said, Lucy.
He really exists which means lost island does too said Lucy.
Lucy the island sank said Nami.
I know and now we're gonna find it said Lucy.
Underwater, no masks, I'm in said Nami.
You'll really take him? Said Apis.
Yeah said Lucy.
Thank you said Apis.
But first things first let's eat said Lucy.
Lucy wait theirs one more thing I forget to tell you said Apis.
Then the dragon bites down the rubber girl.
Grandpa Ryu is kind of senile said Apis.
Scene change
You'll never believe what we saw it's so cool said Lucy.
Um, what's going on? Asks Nami.
This story still isn't over said Nami.
Raise and shine sleepyhead said Lucy.
We're we here all night? Asks Zoro.
Guess so said Sanji.
With the old guy rambling on we all must have dosed off said Sanji.
Then a villager bursts into the house. The villager tells them the Marines of Branch 8 are back, blocking the harbor and coming ashore.
Oh no we've got to get to Apis before they do said Nami.
Why are the Marines after a little girl? Asks Ussop.
Guys I need you to come with me right now said Nami.
Let's go said Nami.
With pleasure, Nami said to Sanji.
Now? Asks Lucy.
Yes, move said Nami.
What do we do with the old man? Asks Zoro.
It looks like he's sounded so we should just let him be said Nami.
Hey, when he wakes up tell him not to worry said Nami.
We'll protect Apis and keep her safe said Nami.
Villager: yeah alright.
Scene change
Hey, you're all here said Apis.
Guys this is one of those millennial dragons Bokuden was talking about said Nami.
Hey, let's see if he can fetch said Lucy.
He's a dragon, not a puppy said Nami.
I guess the closer you get to the Grand Line the more you run into things like that said Zoro.
We;ll, if things like those Sea Kings we encountered can exist anything's possible, said Sanji.
Are we safe around this thing? Will he try to get us? Asks Ussop.
Um normally he doesn't eat people but he is forgetful, if he thinks you're anything like food get away quick said Apis.
Now you tell me said Ussop.
It doesn't hurt though, does it? Asks Lucy.
Don't worry about I think he likes you said Lucy.
Maybe we should let him eat you said Zoro.
Zoro said Ussop.
Ussop gets loosing and hides behind a rock.
So this dragon is the reason the Marines are after Apis said Nami.
We can't let the Marines get their hands on her said Nami.
You guys are here because we need to help Apis get the Dragon back home on Lost Island said Nami.
Are you nuts? In case you forget the Marines are after us too said Ussop.
With the blockade, we're gonna have enough trouble escaping ourselves let alone with a genomes beast said Ussop.
Please Grandpa Ryu just wants to go home said Apis.
Lucy said… said Apis.
Wait don't tell me Lucy said something like sure we'll take you to the Lost Island said Ussop.
Hey, how did you I said that? Asks Lucy.
You always say stuff like that said Ussop.
Without asking us first! Said Ussop.
And without having a clue to find the place said Ussop.
Eh, we'll work it out somehow said Lucy.
Oh please said Ussop.
Don't worry Grandpa Ryu I'll find another way to get you home and I won't let those Marines get you said Apis.
The problem is we don't know where the lost island is said Nami.
But the dragon should have migratory instincts that could help us find it said Nami.
Yeah so wait are we waiting for? Let's get going said Lucy.
But Lucy said Ussop.
Hey don't worry, we'll work it out said Zoro.
Zoro said Ussop.
I agree but first things first, how are we supposed to bring our big friend here down the mountain and onto the going merry? Said Sanji.
Simple we're gonna build a cart one big enough for Grandpa Ryu to ride on said Nami.
Let's move said Nami.
Thank you shouts Apis.
They build the cart for Ryu.
Ok, it's done said Ussop.
It's so strong and sturdy not even Grandpa Ryu can break it said Apis.
Speaking of breaking, how are we supposed get past the Marines? Said Sanhji.
I don't know, we'll work it out somehow said Lucy.
Yeah but how? Asks Sanji.
We attack said Zoro.
You know that's not a bad idea said Sanji.
Yeah but that's impossible with a giant dragon in tow said Nami.
I've got a better plan but it's gonna require more stealth than strength said Nami.
We go to the harbor, sneak aboard the Going Merry, and sail it to the rear of the island said Nami.
Well since my good personal friend Kaya give us the ship I should go said Ussop.
However, Zoro is coming with me said Ussop.
Me? Why? Asks Zoro.
That's fine by me said Nami.
Great nightfall is when we should move out Zoro said Ussop.
No now said Nami.
We're running out of time said Nami.
We get the ship and bring it to that point there, the one that looks like your nose said Nami.
That's funny it does look like his nose said Lucy.
Ok, that still explain how you're… sai Ussop.
Leave that to me said Nami.
This cave seems pretty well hidden but those Marines will find it sooner or later said Nami.
Get moving you two said Nami.
For a Navigator you sure give a lot of orders said Ussop.
Sanji! Lucy you guys get Grandpa Ryu on the cart said Nami.
Right said Lucy.
Whatever you say Nami said Sanji.
Time skip
They made it said Nami.
Oh no, the bird told me the Marines are closing in said Apis.
They didn't waste any time said Nami.
They got here quicker than I thought said Nami.
What are we gonna do they're getting close said Apis.
It'll be ok don't worry said Nami.
Remember we have these two with us said Nami.
Plus we're about to get out here said Nami.
We just have to wait until the Going Merry reaches that cave said Nami.
The Matines arrive and shoot at them but Lucy blocks all the bullets with her rubber body.
I see you have Devil Fruit powers said a man.
Uh-huh, I'm a rubber girl said, Lucy.
Bullets won't work against rubber said the man.
They charge with swords.
Sanji said Nami.
Sanji takes out the Marines.
Gum-Gum Gatling said, Lucy.
You call yourselves Marines? What a joke said, Eric.
The whole lot of you are pathetic said Eric.
Eric walks towards them.
My name's Eric the Whirlwind, straw hat said Eric.
I was hired by Commodore Nelson of branch 8 I have no business with you that millennial dragon the other hand is a different story, in fact, stand aside you don't want to walk into my wind and slash the power of the Sickle-Sickle fruit said Eric.
Hey, Nami can we go now? Asks Lucy.
Not yet said Nami.
I wish Zoro and Ussop would hurry up said Lucy.
Hey, straw hat are you listening? Asks Eric.
Did you hear what I said? Asks Eric.
Yeah we heard you, you're Eric the sicko said, Lucy.
Then he yells at her for saying the wrong thing.
Well we're already sicko hearing you talk said Lucy.
Let's see how much you laugh after you've gotten a taste of this said Eric.
Hmm? Said Lucy.
Sickle-Sickle Whirlwind said, Eric.
Both Sanji and Lucy get cut by the attack.
What was that? Asks Lucy.
That creeps wind slash really packs a punch said Sanji.
Even the firecrest fighters don't stand a chance against me, I can rip anyone to shreds in a matter of seconds said Eric.
Now move it said Eric.
That dragon is mine said, Eric.
Stand down said Eric.
No way you're not the boss of us said, Lucy.
Alright don't move then it's your funeral rubber girl said Eric.
Lucy! Sanji! Let's go said Nami.
We're on our way Nami said Sanji.
The two run up the mountain.
What's this? Said Eric.
We'll be right there said Sanji.
Hey, Nami this ship's decatcedaed to you said Sanji.
Now Gum-Gum said, Lucy.
Sickle-Sickle said Eric.
Pistol said Lucy.
Windslash said Eric.
We're gonna hit that rock said Apis.
Lucy said to Nami.
Gum-Gum Gatling said, Lucy.
They finally run out of mountains, launch into the air, hit and break the Marine ships mast, and land in the ocean.
That crazy plan actually worked said Zoro.
Well, she said she'd work it out somehow said Apis.
I told you so said Lucy.
Scene change
They tie the cart to the Going Merry and sail away
Ryu remembers Lost Island is east of Warship Island so the straw hats sail in that direction.
So Lost Island's supposedly out this somewhere said Lucy.
Wonder what it looks and when we're gonna see it said, Lucy.
Hey, can you see anything from up there Ussop? Asks Lucy.
Nope, not a single thing said Ussop.
We've come a long way said Ussop.
But there's still no sign of this Lost Island said Ussop.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be a wild goose chase said Ussop.
And then there's Grandpa Ryu said Ussop.
I wish there was some way we could help him remember a few more details said Ussop.
So what say we bonk him on the head with this anvil said Ussop.
That should loosen up some memories in his old noggin all right said Ussop.
No that's mean said Nami.
Scene change
Hmm? Said Lucy.
What's that? Said Lucy.
Well, I guess we'll know when we get closer said Lucy.
A ship said Lucy.
It looks one but something's weird about it said Lucy.
Lucy touches the "Ship" with her foot and it turns into her reflection.
Whoa awesome said Lucy.
Hey, Nami do you see this? Asks Lucy.
Yeah, but I don't believe it said Nami.
Then their ship disappears into the reflection.
Scene change
What gives? It's just fog said Zoro.
From the way Nami was screaming I thought we were in danger said Sanji.
What in the world is going on? Asks Nami.
Can someone please explain to me what just happened said Ussop.
I mean our own ship was in front of us but somehow we passed through it, right? said Ussop.
This fog is so thick I can't see a thing said Lucy.
It's almost like well a mirage said Ussop.
That's it a mirage said Nami.
I remember reading about it once said Nami.
When the warmer air in the sky collides with cooler air near the ocean it can create mirages at sea said Nami.
Then a storm appears.
Uh, what about this? Is this a mirage too? Asks Ussop.
Aah, what the deal with this stupid ocean? Said Nami.
They head for an island in the eye of the storm.
An Island hidden by a mirage and surrounded by stormy seas said Nami.
Well, that certainly explains why no one's ever found it said Nami.
Not lost anymore though now that we found it said Nami.
Looks more like a castle that sank into the ocean instead of an Island said, Lucy.
Scene change
Whoa check that stone work it actually looks like a dragon said Ussop.
You know I betcha those millennial dragons built this place themselves said Ussop.
Wow I never dragons were so good at building stuff said Lucy.
They're not Lucy it's obvious humans built this place said Sanji.
Well, whatever who cares said Zoro.
Yeah, who cares we made it to Lost Island said Lucy.
Scene change
No signs of life said Sanji.
I wonder if anyone lives here anymore? Said Sanji.
It looks like this place has been reclaimed by nature said Sanji.
Hey Grandpa Ryu hey I'm talking to you said Apis.
Geez we're on an Island with the dragon's nest, would you wake up and tell us where it is said Apis.
What'd he say? Asks Lucy.
Well, he said he's not sure but he said that this place might not even be actual Lost Island said Apis.
What? Said Zoro.
You can't be serious said Sanji.
So we went freaky mirage and that storm for nothing? Said Ussop.
Hey Apis you see that if the dragon's nest is on the island I bet we can spot it from up there said Lucy.
Right we can't see anything down here said Nami.
So why don't we go take a look, what do you say said Nami.
Yeah said Apis.
Great said Lucy.
Let's go said Lucy.
Lucy and the boys end up pulling and pushing the cart up the mountain and find a domed building at the top.
Please tell me we don't have to push anymore said Ussop.
Thank you so much for showing us the way said Apis.
Thank you all so very much said Apis.
Yes, nice work guys said Nami.
That painting must be the dragon emblem huh? Said Nami.
Yup guess so said Lucy.
This little building is the dragon's nest? Said Sanji.
This is it? Said Ussop.
Even if it is where's the door? How are we supposed to get inside? Asks Zoro.
Right there said Lucy.
No, it's not there's no hand or keyhole said Nami.
If it's a door then how are we supposed to open it? Asks Nami,
Apis walks forward.
Hey said Ussop.
Apis said Nami.
That pendant of yours said Nami.
You mean it's a… said Nami.
So the key that opens the door to the dragon's nest huh? Said Sanji.
Apis nods.
She tries to put the pendent in the hole but
I can't reach it said Apis.
That's cause you're so short silly said Lucy.
Yeah so? Said Apis.
Here let me do it said Lucy.
Let's see said Lucy.
Then the ground falls out from under them.
Hey guys we're still alive, right? Asks Ussop.
Well sure feels that way said Sanji.
Well, we didn't come in the front door but we're in said Sanji.
So it all worked out said Apis.
Yeah but just what is this place? Asks Zoro.
Hey up there look said Lucy.
They all look up.
What's that? Asks Apis.
