I don't own One Piece
And now for his next trick, Usopp will fly said Usopp.
Whoa that was awesome said Lucy.
Me next! Me next said Chopper.
Whoa! Watch the landing said Usopp.
Alright next up is Lucy said Usopp.
Go said Usopp.
Lucy jumped and slammed into a wall.
Awesome! It's a new record said Usopp and Chopper.
Hey, you guys! If you got so much energy, catch me some octopus, I think the tree swing can take care of itself for awhile said Sanji.
Octopus? Said the trio.
Sanji lists off a bunch of dishes involving octopus.
So if all that sounds good to you, try to get the ingredients by dinner time said Sanji.
Yeah, sounds good! Sanji can you make takoyaki, too? Said Lucy.
Takoyaki party said Chopper and Usopp.
Of course, no problem, so grab a bunch of 'em said Sanji.
Time Skip.
Pity it's probably just some old booze and preserved food said Nami.
What? You can't see inside how do you know? Said Lucy.
Because it says a treasure offering to the Sea God said Nami
It's an old practice called Barrall Drifting said Nami.
People pray for safe passage by making an offering to the guardian spirits of the sea, so it's more about superstition than actual treasure said Nami.
In other words, we got our hopes up over a barrel of se trash saud Usopp.
Whoa, who says booze is trash? Let's drink it said Zoro.
What? No, that's bad karma said Usopp.
You'll be fine. Just say a little prayer first said Nami.
I pray to no God, sea or otherwise said Zoro.
Alcohol stirred by the waves, from what I hear, that improves the taste said Nami.
Oh yeah, then let's find out said Franky.
All right, we'll make a toast said Usopp.
After you finish they say you're supposed to offer a new offering and set it adrift again for good luck, okay said Robin.
Who cares? Open up said Franky.
So uh hey, God, we're stealing your booze said Lucy.
Now you're praying to God? If I remember, you beat the crap out of God back on Skypiea. Don't bother God's a jerk said Zoro.
Prayers over, here it goes said Lucy.
Okay, let me see said Lucy.
She opened the barrel and something shoots out of it and explodes in the air.
Whoa! What is that? Said Usopp.
Fireworks? Said Lucy.
It sure is bright huh? Said Usopp.
W-what's going on? Asks Nami.
The booze flew in the air, and then it blew up said Chopper.
Looked like a signal flare said Robin.
You think that's it? Asks Nami.
Zoro laughs
Guess the Sea God didn't like you messing with his stuff said Zoro.
It could just be a prank I suppose said Robin.
But if it's not said, Robin.
If it's not? Said Usopp and Chopper.
Perhaps we've alerted someone, and they're about to come looking for us said Robin.
You mean the booze was a lie? No even worse it was a trap and we set it off by opening the barrel said Usopp.
Who knows what kind of horrible people are gonna come after us now said Usopp.
Chopper said Usopp.
Huh? Said Chopper.
Search the area said Usopp.
Got it said Chopper.
Make sure we're not being followed said Usopp.
Those awful bounty hunters might be looking for revenge said Usopp.
I'm looking all over the place, but I don't see anyone said Chopper.
Nothing here said Usopp.
Something isn't right, I can feel it said Nami.
Everyone get into position! We're going to escape South by Southwest! A huge storm is coming in five minutes said Nami.
I don't see anything, but if you say it's coming then I'll take your word for it since you're the Navigator said Luffy.
By the way, what's our heading? Asks Lucy.
Two o'clock straight ahead said Nami.
Did that barrel summon a storm or what? Said Usopp.
That lightning's hitting really close said Chopper.
I'm good. We're getting straight headwind said Nami.
The ship's gonna overturn said Nami.
Kisho do you think you can control the waves?! shouts Nami.
Hey, the Sunny can handle this, you know the trick said, Franky.
Oh right said Nami.
Hey guys raise the sails! It's paddle time said Nami.
Yeah ok said Usopp.
I like the sound of that, do it! Go said Lucy.
Everyone ready? Asks Nami.
The main is good to go Nami said Sanji.
The foremasts are up and ready said Zoro.
Franky now said Nami.
Sweet! Soldier Dock System: Channel Zero said Franky.
Cola Engine: Paddle Ship Sunny said Nami.
Go said Usopp.
Full speed said Luffy.
Time skip
We made it said Nami.
Yeah, it's nice we got out of a storm and all but where the hell are we? Said Zoro.
It shouldn't be night yet right? Asks Zoro.
So why is it so dark and what's with this fog? Strange, huh? Said Zoro.
This is it! We paddled the Sunny straight into that sea Kokoro was talking about said Nami.
Geez I wasn't ready for this said Nami.
Oh wow, so we're at Fishman Island already? Said Usopp.
Not yet! Remember, the sea of ghosts? Said Lucy.
That's right be careful! You've heard of the Florian Triangle, right? Said Franky.
You know, it's also called the Devil's Triangle said Franky
A haunted sea where ships are swallowed without a trace said Franky
Haunted? Said Usopp.
Bring on the ghosts, I can wait said Lucy.
Shut up! Why does everyone know about this except me? If this is some kind of prank, it's not funny said Usopp.
Nuh uh it's real and I hear their zombies and skeletons too said Lucy.
Why are you happy about this Lucy? Asks Usopp.
You're letting your imagination run wild, stop trying to scare him said Sanji.
Listen, Usopp, the truth of the matter is every year over 100 ships vanish in this sea without any explanation said Sanji.
They say the sailor's souls stay on the ship wandering for all eternity said Sanji.
No! Why did you warn me about this? Said Usopp.
Even if we had, there's nothing you can do said Sanji.
Sure, there is! I'm going to cover myself with anti-ghost stuff said Usopp.
Then they hear a voice in the air.
Who's that? What's that voice? Asks Usopp.
Help! No said Usopp.
It's a ghost ship! Said all.
We're gonna die said Nami.
This is the song of the dammed! Hurry cover your ears, you'll be cursed said Usopp.
If you talk back to the ghost, you'll be pulled into the sea! Don't answer them, no matter what they say to you! They'll steal your soul and bind you to the ghost ship said Usopp.
Who is that? Is someone actually riding the ship? Asks Robin.
So can you cut ghosts? Asks Zoro.
On the deck! Look said Sanji.
A skeleton is on the deck, singing a tune.
Did you see that? There's a singing skeleton on that ship said Lucy.
Oh, no way! Skeletons don't sing they're dead! You're seeing things it's not real said Usopp.
Sanji, you heard him! Come on, please! Can we go? Said Lucy.
I wonder if he sings what else can he do? Said Lucy.
Not so fast! You can't go alone said Sanji.
Listen up for drawing straws to see who stays here and who goes on the creepy ghost ship with Lucy said Zoro.
Why us? There's plenty of people who want to go already said Usopp.
Yeah, that's cruel said Nami.
Let us stay said Chopper.
You really sure that's how you wanna do this? Asks Zoro.
Ready to see some ghosts and stuff? Asks Lucy.
Yeah said, Franky.
Please no said Nami.
Hey, I like the drawing thing after all said Chopper.
Yeah please we're scared! You can't leave all the weak people alone with no one to protect them said Usopp.
We'll draw! We'll draw! Just don't go said Nami.
Whatever I'm fine going there alone but we gotta hurry, or the ships gonna get away said Luffy.
Hold your horses said Sanji.
Well, are you gonna draw? Three will go, and the rest will stay here said Zoro.
Gotta keep a tight leash on her, Lucy will do something stupid said Zoro.
Time skip
Why did it have to be me of all people? asks Nami.
I want a recount said Nami.
Nami get up here said Lucy.
It's ghost time said Lucy.
Give me a second said Nami.
This is why I said I would go alone said Lucy.
Yeah, that'd be great! You'd sailing off with a bunch of skeletons that we'd never see you again said Sanji.
Nami swan don't you worry your sweet prince is here to protect you said Sanji.
You think you can kick a ghost? Asks Nami.
Come on, you were all excited about finding a treasure ship before said Luffy.
There is no way in hell this is a treasure ship! Look at it, it's got singing skeletons! Snaps Nami.
Well, maybe he's the one guarding all the awesome treasure said Lucy.
Anyway I'm going said Lucy.
Look there he is said, Lucy.
They make it on board the ship.
Well good afternoon, Yohohoho, you must excuse me for not greeting you properly before. I really was quite surprised It's been so many years you see wandering these waters all alone I'm so used to ghost ships that humans frighten me quite ironic, isn't it said the Skeleton.
Huh but please come inside and take a seat. I'm sure you have many tails to share said the Skeleton.
Look, he can talk! It's a singing talking Afro Skeleton said Lucy.
Well, I'll be dammed said Sanji.
Oh my! What a charming young woman you are! Beautiful said the skeleton.
I'm all eyes for ladies like you or I would be if skeletons had any eyes said the skeleton.
Could you perhaps show me your panties? Asks the skeleton.
Yeah right said Nami.
Feisty I like it said the skeleton.
That hurt me right down to the bone because of a skeleton. You see said the skeleton.
I get it said Nami.
Hey wait do skeletons poop? Asks Lucy.
We've got like a million questions to ask before that on! Snaps Sanji and Kisho.
Oh, yes, I poop said the skeleton.
Haven't you heard of TMI? We don't need to hear that said Sanji.
Anyway, how is it you can sing and talk like that when you're nothing but bones? asks Sanji.
Are you really the living dead or what? Also, why are you here, and what the hell happened to this ship? These waters aren't really haunted, are they? Asks Sanji.
Hold on I've got one for you. Are you ready? Said Lucy.
Will you join our crew? Asks Lucy.
Yes, certainly said the skeleton.
Scene change
Yohohoho! Such a pleasure to meet you, Hello, and good day to you all. As of today, I will be joining you on this ship as you do with crew said the skeleton.
Once all dead and bone, my name is Brook and I hope we can get along said Brook.
Are you kidding me? What the heck is this thing? Asks Usopp, Franky, and Zoro.
Yohohoho! Oh my, what a tough crowd you are! Said Brook
Please don't haunt me said Chopper.
My goodness, and what lovely ladies! Perhaps you would like to show me your panties said Brook.
That's enough sexual harassment said Nami.
It's a full set of anti-ghost gear! You got him now said Chopper.
Remove yourself from this ship you fiend! Submit to the holy power I wield, evil be gone! Evil be gone said Usopp.
How frightening said Brook.
It's working, keep it up! You're awesome, Usopp said Chopper.
Of course, I'm awesome! I mean, I paid a lot of money for this stuff, so it darn well better work said Usopp.
Where is evil creature? I can't see it said Brook.
It's you, stupid said Chopper and Ussop.
Dammit! There's no way a walking talking afro sporting skeleton could exist! This must be a dream. We need to wake up said Usopp.
Oh, it's a dream? Whatever relief that's nice said Chopper.
Um, excuse me? Hello? Hello? Good morning said, Brook.
That's enough said Zoro.
What is this thing and why is it on our ship? Asks Zoro.
That's our new crew member isn't he funny? Said Lucy.
Who cares? He's not joining our crew said Zoro.
This is exactly why I wanted you to go with her. What the hell happened? Said Zoro.
Were you just picking your noses when she brought a skeleton back to the ship? said Zoro.
I know we messed up said Nami and Sanji.
Yohohoho! Now now let's be civil everyone said Brook.
Why don't we go inside? You can treat me to dinner said Brook.
You don't get to decide that! Snapped Zoro, Sanji, and Nami.
I love this guy said Lucy.
Scene change
Yohohoho! What a spacious dining room you've got and such a splendid kitchen. A magnificent ship, if I've ever seen one, yohohoho said Brook.
Yep said Lucy.
Of course, it is! It's the most super ship I've ever made! Those sockets look empty, but you got a good eye for quality said Franky.
Franky, don't get friendly with the skeleton said Sanji.
Speaking of quality, I can't wait to try out your cooking! Since I was stuck on that dreary ghost ship, it's been decades since i've eaten a proper meal saud Brook.
I felt my stomach shrink and shrink until I couldn't tell the back of my belly from the front of my back anymore said Brook.
That's the sort of miserable life I've led and let me tell you, that's a lot since skeletons. Don't have a proper back or stomach, yohohoho said Brook.
It's a skull joke said Brook.
It's a skull joke I get it said Lucy.
Let me say I am quite the gentleman! So I am well versed in the art of recently waiting for my food, no matter how long it takes said Brook.
You're a dear boy can I have a glass of milk? It's good for the birthday say said Brook.
Shut up or I'm gonna smash your skull said Sanji.
By the way, skeleton said Lucy.
Sorry, but my name is Brook said Brook.
Ah, but that reminds me. I know this is rude, but I don't believe I ever caught your name said Brook.
Oh? Me? My name is Lucy said, Lucy.
So anyway, what are you? Asks Lucy.
He invited him to join the crew and you're just now asking if that? Snaps Zoro.
Ok, food's ready said Sanji.
We can finish interrogating the skeleton later. For now, let's put all octopi you caught to good use said Sanji.
Magical said Lucy.
Go ahead and eat all of this you want, Brook, Sanji's cooking is the best in the whole world said Lucy.
Although my stomach is empty, I think my heart is already filled said Brook.
Don't cry said Sanji.
I couldn't help but notice your portion is a bit larger, would you be interested in switching with me? Said Brook.
You can have seconds just leave her alone said Sanji.
You would tank with octopus on your ship? Truly, the wonders never cease with you people, how splendid said Brook.
I've never heard of anything like it, how fortunate I met with such a fascinating ship said Brook.
Yes, by all means, right after dinner said Brook.
He can understand that nonsense said Nami.
Would you shut up and eat said Sanji.
Time skip
The revive revive fruit? Said Nami.
So it was a devil fruit after all said Franky.
It's a complicated tale said Brook.
The truth of the matter is, I actually did die already, many years ago said Brook.
Would you clean off your damn face? I've never seen such a messy eater said Sanji.
The Revive Revive fruit allows a person to be reanimated after they have died. Even among devil fruit powers, the ability to live two lives is indeed quite strange said Brook.
So you're a revive man said Lucy.
Then you're not immortal. It's more like you die once and they gave you a second chance at life said Franky.
In short, yes. Excuse me said Brook.
As I said, it's complicated. But during my first life, if you will, I was a pirate like you said Brook.
That explains the ship said Lucy.
That, it does. Excuse me again said Brook.
I'm gonna beat some manner into you, even if I have to break every single one of your bones said Sanji.
A long time ago, I was sailing with the rest of my crew through these accursed waters. Now, for the record, I had flesh and blood, just like anyone else back then. At any rate, we had the misfortune of running afoul of a very powerful adversary, Soon, the entire crew met its demise. Of course, that included me as well. When I was alive, the revive revive fruit did precious little and then robbed me of my ability to swim. But on that fateful day, its true power awakened as I lay dead. My spirit returned from the Netherworld and came to unite with this body of mine once again. Now, if it had actually found my body as intended that would be all well and good. But as you can see, the fog around here is quite thick, so the matter became a bit complicated said Brook.
In short, poor little soul Brook couldn't find his way back home. All in all, my spirit wandered through the foggy waters, searching for my body for an entire year. Then at the end of its tragic journey, the two were reunited once again. Much to my soul's dismay by the time it found my body, there was nothing left but a miserable pile of bones said Brook.
I was so shocked my eyes were as wide as dinner plates. Not that I have eyes to begin with, yohohoho said Brook.
So you got lost huh? So you're stupid just like Zoro said, Lucy.
Hey now said Zoro.
And so a walking, talking skeleton was born! Man, those devil fruit powers can be pretty scary sometimes! Even though you're just bones, it still brought you back to life said Franky.
Yeah, but it only does it once. Despite the fact he still can't swim and he stuck like this, seems like a crappy deal if you ask me said Sanji.
Skeletons aren't supposed to have hair are they? Especially not so much of it. Is that Afro a wig or something? Said Zoro.
No my roots are just very strong said Brook.
I'll take your word for it said Zoro.
Then that means you're not a ghost after all, you're just a normal human like us? Well, normal is a stretch I suppose said Usopp.
But the important thing is you're definitely not a ghost said Usopp.
Oh, Heaven's no I hate ghosts! If I saw what I'd scream my lungs out, if I had any said Brook.
You're a skeleton and you're afraid of ghosts? Have you tried looking in a mirror lately? Said Nami.
No mirrors! Stop said, Brook.
What's wrong? Hey, hold up! What's going on here? Said Usopp.
Why can't we see you? Why don't you show up in the mirror? Said Chopper and Usopp.
Are you for real? That's awesome said Lucy.
Look at his feet, he doesn't even have a shadow said Ussop.
Ah, you're right! What kind of creature are you? Said Chopper.
Don't take a tea break said Sanji.
You better explain yourself right away mister said Usopp.
I suppose I should tell you the rest of the story, about what happened when I was drifting in this evil sea and the second tragedy I was forced to face. What I told you about becoming a skeleton is true but the reason I don't have a shadow is that different matter entirely said Brook.
To be continued said Brook.
How about you tell us now said Sanji.
My shadow was stolen. Someone took it from me several years ago said Brook.
Stolen? Said Usopp.
But how? Asks Robin.
I guess that's not any more ridiculous than a talking skeleton but it's still hard to swallow said Zoro.
Can something like that really happen? asks Zoro.
Yes, I'm afraid it can. And in addition to losing my reflection, Having my shadow stolen means I can no longer exist in this world of light said Brook.
But you're still alive, right? Asks Lucy.
Yes, for now at least, but only because I'm able to stay in this place with no sunlight said Brook.
Although you can scarcely call it living, I am saved by the grace of the thick fog surrounding these seas said Brook.
Then what would happen if you were exposed to sunlight? Asks Robin.
If even a ray of sunlight touched this body, every inch that it fell upon would be reduced to nothing but ash. A single step into the sun, And in a matter of moments, every trace of me would be wiped from this world said Brook.
You would be killed? Said All.
Yes, I saw someone with the same curse as I lost his mind and ran straight into the sunlight. And at last, when his screen went silent, there was nothing left behind but a pile of dust. It was so frightful I swear my soul left my body a second time. And just as the sunlight does not cast my shadow The image cannot be reflected in a mirror or captured in a photograph. You must forgive me for startling you but I hope you can understand my reluctance to share this story said Brook.
For as you see, not only have all my comrades been slain, I also live in a world without light said Brook.
Well, I hate to say it, but your life sure does suck said Sanji.
But even still, right now, I'm still so happy to have it. A fluffy afro, a big smile. The cheery gentleman skeleton Brook always a pleasure said Brook.
Where does all this optimism come from? Asks Sanji.
Hey, what's wrong? He's flipping out said Usopp.
What a wonderful day this has been! I met other people! Buried in a heavy fog, even though I knew decades had passed I couldn't tell when one day ended and another began. Unable to navigate or steer the ship, my companions long since dead, I could only drift aimlessly. So I waited and waited as the waves rocked me back and can't even imagine how lonely I was all those years, not just lonely, but scared. Wanting to die every single day said Brook.
Even still, a long life is a blessing, not a curse. You've made me so happy, meeting such wonderful people gives my life meaning, yohohoho said Brook.
If I had eyes to shed them, I would be crying tears of happiness right now. I was happy beyond measure when you asked me to join your crew, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. However, I feel I must decline your offer said Brook.
What? Why would you do that? Asks Lucy.
As I mentioned to all of you right now, my shadow has been stolen from me and I am unable to come in contact with any sunlight. Lonely as I may be, I am able to survive thanks to the thick fog covering these seas. However, if I were to go on your journey with you, It would only be a matter of time before I met my unfortunate, however unlikely it may be I'll wait for the day my shadow is no bones about it, yohohoho said Brook.
I don't wanna hear excuses like that. If you need your shadow back so bad, then we'll get it back for you said Lucy.
You said someone stole your shadow from you, right? Who is it? Where can we find them? Asks Lucy.
Thank you, you truly are such a kind person aren't you? Said Brook.
But for that reason, I'm afraid I cannot tell you. We've only just met you see, and I cannot ask you to throw your life away attempting something like that, it's nearly impossible said Brook.
I'm sure the guy's tough and all, but give me a break. You got nothing to lose the least you can do with tell us his name said, Franky.
No, it's best that I don't. Besides, I doubt I could find him anyway, yohohoho said Brook.
But I've decided, if and when I ever do reach him, I will fight him to the death for my shadow. I don't know when my second life will end, but I am willing to wait for him for the rest of my days said Brook.
But never mind that why don't I play a song for you? I am skilled with many instruments. You know, when I sailed the seas with my old crew, I was their musician said, Brook.
What? Are you serious? Our crew needs a musician! Hurry up and join us already! I'm begging you said, Lucy.
I haven't played music for anyone in years, but here it goes said Brook.
Brook screams.
Hey, what's wrong? You're freaking out said Sanji.
Ghost said Brook.
Get out! Go away said Chopper.
So cool said Lucy.
It's leaving said Zoro.
The ship starts to shake.
What? Something's happening to the ship said Zoro.
Oh, it can't be said, Brook.
Everyone look to the front! That noise we heard was this gate slamming shut said Brook.
Our passage has already been blocked off said Brook.
That thing is a gate? Said Lucy.
It looks like teeth! Like a giant sea monster. It's gonna eat us all said Usopp.
What's going on here? Asks Zoro.
It seemed this is the backside of the gate said Brook.
That bad? Said Lucy.
This is very bad said Brook.
Come to the rear of the ship hurry said Brook.
What in the world is that? Asks Nami.
Did you by any chance pick up a barrel from the waters on your way here? Asks Brook.
Yeah, we did said, Lucy.
It was a trap, you're all in great danger! Simply put, your ship's been targeted ever since you came here said Brook.
You mean there's someone out there hunting us down? And by the way, how did we run into that gate when our ships not moving? Asks Lucy.
Where the heck did that creepy island come from? Asks Lucy.
This is the Ghost Island that wanders throughout these seas, they call it Thriller Bark said Brook.
Thriller Bark I see said Lucy.
Hey this is strange the log pose isn't reacting to this island at all said Nami.
Nor should it because originally this island came all the way here from the West Blue said Brook.
The West Blue? Said Nami.
Indeed said Brook.
Hey, where are you going? Asks Sanji.
Truly this has been a fortunate day for me said Brook.
Not only was I able to meet you, but now my wish has been granted as well said Brook.
They follow Brook and he jumps off their ship.
That's a hell of a jump said Sanji.
Yes, there's no pesky flesh weighing me down said Brook.
Please do not follow me said Brook.
You must break through that gate behind you and escape this place, whatever you do, you cannot drop your anchor in here said Brook.
That being said, it truly was a pleasure meeting you all today, I won't forget your kindness so long as I live said Brook.
Farewell I hope we meet again on the high seas said Brook.
Hey, Brook! Wait said Lucy.
Isn't he a devil fruit user? Asks Zoro.
Then he's gonna think like a rock said Usopp.
He's running on the water said Usopp.
That is too cool said Lucy.
Um anyway, Lucy we should listen to him and get moving. I don't really understand the situation here, but I do know this island is bad news said Nami.
You guys say something? Asks Lucy.
She totally wants to go said Chopper, Nami, and Usopp.
I've had enough ghosts for today. I don't need a whole island of them said Usopp.
Wait a second, what about that ghost we saw before? Huh? Said Chopper.
Is it still here on the boat? Asks Chopper.
No looks like it was flying to the island, I'm guessing that's where the thing came from said Zoro.
Interesting, like Brook said, the loud noise we heard earlier was that gate from over there closing shut said Robin.
So it's not that we ran into it, it's that we were eaten by the mouth said Robin.
It ate us? Said Lucy.
The fog here makes it difficult to tell but I imagine the walls we see here are extended all the way around the island in a circle said Robin.
That means we intentionally pulled in and now the gate is closed, we're trapped inside said Robin.
I see that's why the skeleton told us to run away, It's because we're stuck inside some kind of trap said Usopp.
Wait! Then that would mean the people here are capturing sailors on purpose, right? But why? Said Nami.
This is a moving island. That means we're technically still out at sea, guess we won't be able to anchor down here said Franky.
Hold on that's the last thing we want to do! We gotta get out of this place right now said Usopp.
Wait! Then that would mean the people here are capturing sailors on purpose, right? But why? Said Nami.
This is a moving island. That means we're technically still out at sea, guess we won't be able to anchor down here said Franky.
Hold on that's the last thing we want to do! We gotta get out of this place right now said Usopp.
Bad news you guys, I think I have "I can't go on that island" sickness said Nami.
Me too, I'm real sick said Chopper.
No problem. You two watch the ship said Lucy.
And you've got "Stupid Adventure" sickness again said Usopp.
Come to your senses! Come on, look at that! That creepy-looking building is a bonafide haunted mansion, if I've ever seen one and I'm not talking about the fun kind either said Usopp.
That kind where you never make it out alive said Usopp.
You worry too much. I'm not going there to pick a fight said Lucy.
I promise I'll be careful. I just wanna catch that ghost and keep it as a pet said Lucy.
You're gonna get us all killed said Usopp.
Either way, Brook's, a part of our crew now, So I have to bring him back said Lucy.
Sanji get me a pirate lunchbox said Lucy.
He's a part of our crew? Hey, I did not vote for that! If we have a living skeleton wandering around the ship, I won't be able to sleep at night said Usopp.
Here I've got the lunch boxes said Robin.
Lucy, Franky it's up to you to take care of Robin while I watch the boat said Sanji.
It does sound exciting said Robin.
Great! Now listen up, obviously, we're gonna use a smaller boat to pull us closer to the shore, the Soldier Dock System has something pretty damn super for that said Franky.
I've been keeping this one a surprise, it's Channel Two said, Franky.
What's that? Asks the Straw Hats
Good question. The system has six channels, two of them are zero, and there's one, two, three, and four. Naturally, each dock has its own set of capabilities said Franky.
We know that the zeros are for paddling and we've already seen one and three but… said Nami.
Solider Dock System: Channel Two, launch said Franky.
I can't wait to see what it is said, Lucy.
A paddle ship shopping boat, not bad huh? I call it Mini Merry Two said, Franky.
It's really Merry! Our Merry's been reborn as a landing craft said Usopp.
She may be tiny, but I'm happy to ride her again said Chopper.
With a ship like that, I can go shopping for food in style anytime I want said Sanji.
Hurry up and let me ride it! Hurry up and let me ride it said, Lucy.
Gotta say that was pretty thoughtful of you said Zoro.
Hold your horses lady said Franky.
We'll have our chance to take her for a ride soon enough. For now, why don't we let those three have a little fun said Franky.
So is that all the dock stuff or what? Asks Lucy.
Including Channels One and Three, I showed you before, now you've seen it all said, Franky.
Channel Zero: Support Paddles. Channel One: a single seat waver, the White Hobby
Horse. Channel Three: a triple seater scouting submarine, The Shark Submarine Three. And then Channel Two: A four-person shopping boat, the Mini Merry Two said Franky.
For now, at least, those are all the features of the ship's Solider Dock System said Franky.
If you think of the Sunny as our mothership then these guys are all the little soldiers that help her out said Franky.
Yeah, I love it! You're a genius, Franky! Keep it up good boy! Good! Good! Good said, Lucy.
Hell yeah! What can I say? I guess I'm extra awesome this week! Super said, Franky.
Then they hear a scream from out on the water.
Nami? said Sanji.
Nami what's wrong? You're not in trouble are you? Asks Sanji.
Can't see a damn thing out there said Zoro.
It's just far and more fog said Zoro.
It sounded like it came from the island said Robin.
No fair! You gotta come back so I can ride the Mini Merry too, Stop hogging all the fun said Lucy.
Is that all you're worried about? What about Nami? Said Sanji.
Chopper and Usopp are out there too you know, just saying said Franky.
I wonder, perhaps they fell victim to a curse from that ghost said Robin.
Come on, that's not funny said Zoro.
What was that? Asks Sanji.
That's crazy, the anchor just dropped on its own said Lucy.
I just built it, there's no way that the gears got loose said, Franky.
Well either way pull it up! We can't have the ship lose its balance now said Zoro.
Then the hatch on the lawn deck opens.
That's weird. Did somebody touch the hatch? Asks Franky.
No, we were right here, the whole time said Sanji.
Then Lucy's face starts to stretch without her touching it.
Hey, now is not the time for that crap! Could you take things seriously for once? Said Sanji.
Wait, it's not me. I swear I'm not doing this said Lucy.
When Zoro's sword comes out of its sheath on its own, and then heads for Lucy
Look out said Franky.
Franky kicks the rubber girl out of the way.
Are you nuts? What are you trying to pull here? Asks Franky.
No. I just… It just moved on its own said Zoro.
This is strange said Sanji.
I got a hunch for not alone here said Franky.
Then there's an enemy on this ship said Zoro.
So do you think it's a ghost doing this stuff or is it someone with a devil fruit power? Asks Franky.
Whoever, or whatever it is, at least we know what they're close said Lucy.
Just now I heard what sounded like some sort of beast growling said Robin.
A beast? Said Franky.
Right now, I'm more concerned about Nami. You guys take care of the boat said Sanji.
What are you gonna do? Asks Sanji.
I'm gonna swim over to the island and rescue her, of course, said Sanji.
Sanji is grabbed midair and slammed into the side of the ship
Whoa! That was lame said the guys.
Sanji, I didn't know you could fly said Lucy.
He can't, can he? Said Franky.
Hey, you uh having problems? Asks Zoro.
Shut up, dammit! You saw what happened to me said Sanji.
Whatever it is, it wants to keep us on the ship said Franky.
Can't see this bastard at all, It can take us out one by one, and we can't do a damn thing about it said Zoro.
What's going on Robin? Asks Sanji.
Something is grabbing me said Robin.
You bastard! Get your invisible hands off her said Robin.
Then they all hear the growl.
It really does sound like some kind of animal said Lucy.
When the ship starts to rock violently.
What is it now? Asks Lucy.
Look, I don't know what's going on, but we got waves inside the walls said Franky.
They're pushing us away from the island said Franky.
