Bombs Away! Chapter 18: Travelling To Reverse Mountain!, an one piece fanfic

Hey, guys. Welcome to the new chapter of Bomb's Away. I hope you guys will enjoy the chapter. Also, I wanted to say that Nami did, in fact, eat the Size Size Fruit...oh, and I don't own anything except for my OCs, as the OCs Jack Sparrow, Jake, and Sparrow D. Cassandra belong entirely to 9655.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Bombs Away!-Season 2, Episode 1: Giant Whale Laboon Appears!/Luffy and the Whale Vow to Meet Again!}

"...so that cape must be pretty important to you, huh?" A curious Usopp asked as it was a normal day and the East Blue and we see the Going Merry sailing through the seas with he and Jack sitting on the upper deck while Luffy was sitting on his Special Seat, taking a nap as Apis, Akira, Anya, Cottontail, and Jake were playing a game with each other on the lower decks as Sanji was cooking something in the kitchen with Gin and Kaya helping him out as Zoro was taking a nap on the upper deck and Asher and Nami can be seen hanging out in Nami's Room as Squish was nowhere in sight.

"Yeah, it belonged to my Mum, Cassandra," Jack says with a nod as he smiles warmly. "I love both my Parents. I consider being Gold Roger's Son the greatest honor in the world despite the downsides. It's also why I went to the execution platform to pay respects to my Late Father," Jack says as Usopp nods with an impressed look on his face as we cue over to the lovebirds.

"Okay, so Nami, just like before, close your eyes and try to use your Devil Fruit to grow up to be 10 feet tall," Asher instructed as Nami nodded and took a deep breath to concentrate on using her Devil Fruit as she began imaging herself to be 10 feet tall...only to hear Asher gasping in shock as the orange-haired woman opened her eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Uh, Nami? Look." A nervous Asher says while pointing down as Nami glances to where he was pointing and was stunned and horrified to see that she had shrunken down her boobs and now had A-Cup Breasts.

"No! My boobs!" A panicking Nami says before placing her hands on her boobs and beginning to concentrate but accidentally lost control of her Devil Fruit Powers as her boobs had grown up to be G-Cups, breaking apart her white top and her pink bra, exposing her breasts to her boyfriend, who went red face and blood squirted out of his nose as the Bomberman crashed down into the ground and went unconscious. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Nami yelled before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as she concentrated, and her breasts had shrunk down to be C-Cups again. "Oh, whew, what a relief," Nami says while turning around to walk over to her closet to try and find some new clothes for her as she begins thinking.

"Hmmm, it's weird that my Devil Fruit can grow and shrink stuff. I wonder if I can shrink myself." Nami thought to herself curiously before gasping in shock as she began shrinking in size until she was 2 inches tall, and unfortunately for her, the orange-haired woman's clothes didn't shrink with her and lay in a pile of her discarded clothes. "Ugh, great, fucking great." Nami thought to herself with a glare while climbing out of the pile of clothes to land on the ground and huffed as she was about to try and figure out a way to grow back to normal...but then paused as a naughty idea popped into her head. "Well, Asher and the others always have fun with their Devil Fruits, so why can't I as well?" Nami thought to herself with a mischievous giggle as she grinned slyly.

~[EPIC MONTAGE TIME!]~

An epic montage rang out as we see Nami having some fun with her Devil Fruit Powers, which consists of her sneaking out of her room and climbing up onto the upper deck of the Going Merry as she went over to a sleeping Zoro and touched his three swords to shrink them down in size and the orange-haired naked woman then made her way downstairs to arrive at the Going Merry Kitchen while making sure to not be caught by Sanji and the others as she discreetly placed Zoro's shrunken swords on the floor and tugged on Gin's pant leg before running off to hide behind one of the table legs as he glanced down and spotted what seems to be small knives lying down on the ground as the Combatant bends down to grab them and began slicing off some vegetables and such to make some sandwiches with them as a wake up Zoro suddenly ran into the scene while demanding to ask who stole his swords, but then paused upon seeing Gin using his shruken swords to cut up his sandwiches and realized who pulled this prank as the furious green-haired swordsman turned around to run out of the kitchen and find the orange-haired witch as we then fast forward in time and we cue back to the upper decks as we see a naked tiny Nami sneaking up to the boys' lawnchairs and picking up discarded fork to begin poking the undersides of Jack and Usopp's chairs, causing them to yelp in pain and stood up while looking around confusedly as Nami giggled amusedly while hiding.

~[EPIC MONTAGE TIME OVER!]~

"Man, who knew having Devil Fruits could be so fun?" Nami asked with a giggle while appearing back in the upper decks as Jack and Usopp had gone down to talk with Luffy about something, and Zoro was still asleep, oblivious to the fact of what happened with his swords. "Welp, might as well go down to my room and..." Nami says before trailing off as Squish appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her as he blinked slowly. "...Uh...Squish? It's me, Nami, you know me, right?" Nami asked as Squish blinked slowly again...before screeching loudly and opening up his mouth to try and eat her, only for the naked and tiny orange-haired woman to jump out of the way and begin running away from Squish. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME!"

"Huh? Why did that sound like Nami?" A confused Apis asked as we see her, Akira, Anya, Cottontail, and Jake making their way up to the upper decks.

"And what is Squish chasing?"

"Oh god! I can't let the kids see me like this!" Nami thought to herself panickedly while running towards the railings with Squish still chasing after her as the orange-haired naked woman noticed the kitchen door opening and a smiling Kaya walked out of it. "Perfect! Kaya! Catch me!" Nami screamed while launching herself flying off of the upper deck, and began falling down through the air, planning to land on top of Kaya's head, but accidentally missed her jump as she landed inside of her breasts through her boob window.

"Eeep!" Kaya yelped in surprise while dropping the tray of drinks in her hands and glanced down at her E-Cup Breasts confusedly as, unknown to her, a grunting Nami could be seen getting squished against her large boobs and struggled to escape out of the soft white mountains.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked as he and the others turned to her.

"I just felt something fall down in my boobs!"

"Ah, don't worry, I will get it out," Luffy says reassuringly while walking over to shove his whole arm inside of Kaya's E-Cup Breasts, trying to catch whatever was inside, which was a worried Nami as she struggled to move out of his grasp.

"LUFFY, YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH KAYA'S PERFECT BREASTS?!" A furious Usopp screamed while kicking Luffy away, sending him flying over to crash against the wall as the Straw Hat Pirates were left shocked by their Captain's actions. "Don't worry, Kaya, I will help you out!" Usopp says, having the bright idea to shove his whole arm into her E-Cup Breasts to try and grab whatever was inside of them as Kaya blushed from head to toe and gained fiery eyes as she fumed.

"USOPP, YOU PERVERT!" Kaya exclaimed angrily, having a memory from when Usopp tried to peep at her when they were teenagers back at Syrup Village as she raised her hand and proceeded to bitch slap Usopp across his face, sending him flying over to crash against Luffy, and both of them groaned in pain as the blushing pale glossy blonde haired woman huffed with a bashful blush on her face before freezing as she felt Nami go down into her long white jeans and went inside of her pink panties. "UH, GOTTA GO, BYE!" A nervously laughing Kaya screamed while running inside the cabin as she made her way over to the Going Merry Girls' Bathroom and went inside while forgetting to close the door completely as Usopp's Crush reached down to grab her long white jeans and pulled them down alongside her pink panties, exposing her glossy blonde hairy pussy and heart-shaped perky ass as a wet Nami jumped out of her panties and landed on the ground as she ran out of the bathroom.

"Okay, this isn't fun anymore! I need to grow back to normal!" Nami thought to herself panickedly while growing in size, completely forgetting about the fact that she was naked as, unknown to her, Asher made his way out of the Going Merry Boys' Bathroom while wearing a white towel around his waist as Nami finished growing herself in size and ended up colliding against her surprised boyfriend, knocking them down on the ground and caused Asher to lose his white towel as a worried Kaya burst out of the Going Merry Girls' Bathroom after pulling up her pants and panties.

"What's going on here?!" Kaya asked concernedly before freezing at the sight of a naked Asher lying down on the ground with his flaccid 5-inch cock hitting Nami's wet vagina as she lay on top of him fully naked. "...Oh my...Nami I knew you were daring but having sex with your boyfriend in the hallway is a bit much...also, you were right, Asher's small dick is cute~," Kaya says with a giggle as Asher blushed from head to toe and got knocked out due to the sight of his naked girlfriend as Nami blushed harshly and moaned in distress as she threw back her head.

"I HATE HAVING THESE DEVIL FRUIT POWERS!"

{Bombs Away-Season 2 Theme Song!}

Destiny...Fate...Dreams...

These unstoppable ideals,

Are held deep in the heart of man!

As long as there are people who seek freedom in this life,

These things shall not vanish from the earth!

The camera can be seen zooming past the rushing blue ocean before we glance up to see the Straw Hats sailing around on the Going Merry as we cue over to see Luffy the Straw Hat Captain (Who had flashes of Buggy the Star Clown and Alvida the Iron Mace appearing behind him), Asher the Vice Captain and Cottontail the Pet (Who had flashes of Eldoraggo appearing behind them), Nami the Navigator and Akira the Cabin Boy and Squish the Pet (Who had flashes of Arlong the Saw appearing behind them), Jack the Advisor and Jake the Pet (Who had flashes of Smoker the White Hunter appearing behind them), Zoro the Swordsman (Who had flashes of Axe-Hand Morgan appearing behind him), Usopp the Sniper and Kaya the Nurse (Who had flashes of Kuro of a Hundred Plans, Daddy Masterson, and Carol appearing behind them), Sanji the Cook and Gin the Combatant (Who had flashes of Foul-Play Krieg appearing behind them), Apis the Zoologist (Who had flashes of Commodore Nelson Royale and Eric the Whirldwind appearing behind her), and Anya the Passanger (Who had flashes of the Bear King and the Trump Siblings appearing behind her) as we then see the face of a widely grinning Gol D. Roger appearing in front of the readers and laughing whole heartedly.

People tell me my head's in the clouds,

I don't care what they say because I'm dreamin' of you!

You are the treasure I've found,

So bright, so bold, yet so elusive!

It was a normal day in the ocean as we see Merry sailing through the water with Luffy smirking excitedly while placing his hands on his hips as a grinning Asher stands next to him with Cottontail riding around on his left shoulder, a sly Nami is sitting on the railings with Akira standing next to her with a bright smile on his face and held Squish in his arms, Jack leaned back against the railings and crossed his arms with a laugh and had Jake wrapped around his shoulders, Zoro hoisted his Kuina Sword over his left shoulder with a small smile on his face, a blushing Usopp wrapped his arm around an equally blushing Kaya's shoulders as they admired the sunset, a calm and collected Sanji sat on a barrel while smoking his cigarette, Gin was sitting on the ground and was lifting some weights with a stoic glare on his face, and a smiling brightly Apis leaned against the railings as a beaming Anya had starry eyes and giggled lightly.

It's hard to look away,

Even though it's blinding me!

There are no words to describe,

How I feel inside!

I'm really, really stuck on you, whoa, whoa, whoa!

However, it was only now that the Straw Hat Pirates realized that the Going Merry was about to sail off a waterfall as Luffy beamed happily, Asher flinched worriedly with Cottontail wrapping his body around his head, Akira gripping his head fearfully while accidentally dropping Squish down into the ground, Jack sweatdropped nervously with his jaw dropped in disbelief as Jake hissed concernedly, Zoro's eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped, a concerned and pale-faced Usopp and Kaya hugged each other nervously, Sanji chomped down on his cigarette in surprise with wide shaky eyes, Gin gritted his teeth in stupefaction with white eyes and multiple big sweatdrops on his head, Apis's jaw dropped with white eyes and gripped her head panickedly while Anya screamed fearfully in a comical manner as Nami shrieked loudly and lost control of her Devil Fruit Powers as she grew up to be 70-feet-tall and crashed down on top of the Going Merry, laying on top of it as if it was a bathtub and crushed all of the Straw Hat Pirates under her weight as the ship began sinking down into the ocean as well.

I'm gonna follow my dreams,

However crazy they seem,

And I won't stop 'til I get there, you will see!

You're all I need,

To have the strength to believe,

Believe in Wonderland!

After reassuring his friends that he would handle the upcoming threat, Luffy then raised one of his legs and slammed it right through the ground, creating a small hole in the floor with tiny cracks around it as the Rubberman then did the same thing with his other foot as he spreads out his arms and the Captain of the Straw Hats begins spinning around rapidly until his rubbery body is twisted up tightly as the Rubberman then stretched his arms over to grab a hold of Momoo's horns, and used his, 'Gomu Gomu No Pinwheel', Supermove to unwind himself as he began spinning a wailing Momoo around rapidly and was also able to crush all of the Fish-Men surrounding him while also creating a big vacuum effect that created a small tornado and lifted up all of the defeated and screaming Fish-Men into the air as, after spinning around several times, Luffy then lets go of Momoo and threw him far away as the crying Sea King crashed down into the ocean.

Grunting loudly, Asher then crouched down on the ground as he then launched himself forward, and used his, 'Bomu Bomu no Bomb Punch!', to rear back his arm as he clenched his fist and threw a powerful punch across Ava's chest with his hand burying itself in her boobs as the Amazon blushed heavily and gasped before screaming in pain as a big explosion rang out and it sends her flying back as she collided against a large piece of rock and moaned in pain as Ava slowly grows unconscious.

Once transforming into his Monster Form, Cottontail then spawned out a pair of fluffy wings and flew forward while shapeshifting his tail to gain a spiked mace and twirled around to slam his makeshift cotton weapon against about ten Marine Soldiers and send them flying away.

After taking out the Bear King, a Giant Nami then spotted Honey Queen, who was able to finally escape from the jar due to the tape getting damaged by the explosion, emerged out of the jar with half of her body becoming Human as she laughed crazily, only to spot a giant Nami as the Devil Fruit User goes back to hide inside her bottle before Asher's Girlfriend reached down to grab the jar and throw back her arm as she then used her giant super strength to toss the jar high into the air, zooming out of Trump Castle, and crashing down into the ocean as Honey Queen's panicking and fearful screams rang out.

Narrowing his eyes angrily, Akira then held out his arm and used his, 'Fishman Merman Special technique: Water Shot', Supermove to hurl multiple small pathetic water droplets that flew over to land on Pin Joker's feet just as he turned around and stepped forward, causing him to slip and crash down onto the ground as Akira ran over to leap on top of him, and we then see Squish saving his Master's life after being dropped down into the ocean for the hundredth time.

Roaring loudly, Jack then used his Devil Fruit Powers to transform into his Human/Beast-Slifer Form and used his, 'Zoan Mystic-Ryu Ryu No Lightning Blast' Supermove to open up his second mouth as he fired a big blue electric energy beam blast to collide against the ceiling above him, shoving them straight through the ceiling and every floor above before reaching to the top of Trump Castle, sending all of the floors crashing through the roof and crashed down into the ground down below the mountain as we then see Jack using his Devil Fruit Powers to transform into his Human/Beast-Obelisk Form and used his, 'Zoan Mystic-Ryu Ryu No Fist of Fury' Supermove to raise his arm as it got covered with hot purple flames and delivered a strong punch across Arlong's face, sending him flying away and crashing down into the ground, hard enough that it cracked violently as Jack then transformed into his Human/Beast-Ra Form and used his, 'Zoan Mystic-Ryu Ryu No Blaze Cannon!', Supermove to open up his mouth and fired a huge golden fireball at Captain Smoker as a huge explosion occurred.

After transforming into his Kuja Snake/Beast-Wyvern Form, Jake then used his, 'Zoan Mystic-Drogon no Firebreath!', Supermove to rear back his head and fire a big burst of purple hot flames that collided against a screaming Eric.

Gritting his teeth in determination, Zoro then used his, 'Three Swords Style: Oni Giri!', Supermove to do a three-way simultaneous slashing attack as he crossed his two swords across his chest and placed the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them and Zoro approached his target at high speeds as he tried to slash Mihawk, only for him to easily block his attacks by using his pocket knife as, while Zoro struggled to push forward, Hawk-Eye just stood there with an indifferent look on his face.

Raising his slingshot, Usopp then used his, 'Special Attack Exploding Star', Supermove to fire a small projectile that flew over to impact Chew's body, causing a small explosion that sent him flying back and crashing down into the ground with his body covered in flames as everyone in Cocoyashi Village turned and were surprised to see a highly nervous and shaking Usopp standing in place.

Shrieking panickedly, Kaya can be seen running into the Loguetown Harbor at incredibly high speeds while running through Cabiji, Mohji, Richie, and the Marines as the busty blonde-haired teenager ran out of the docks and began running across the water at high speeds as a panicking Kaya skids to a stop and cause a big splash of water that launched her up high into the air and collided against a surprised Usopp, knocking him down into the ground as Kaya's E-Cup Breasts were smushed against his face.

Gaining a cold glare on his face, Gin leaped forward while spinning around one of his metal tonfas as a demonic aura covered his body as he landed in a crouched position and tried to use his, 'Man Demon Special Technique Demonic Warhammer', Supermove by slamming his weapon down at Sanji, who leaped away to avoid the attack and landed in a handstand as the enraged blonde-haired man then used his, 'Black Leg Style Épaule!', Supermove to throw a downward kick that targeted Gin's shoulder, knocking him off balance as he whirled around, and the blonde-haired man used this opportunity to kick him in his chest, knocking him down into the ground hard enough that it cracked, but Gin also reacted quickly by raising one of his metal tonfas and slammed it against Sanji's head to send him flying away with a concussion and blood dripping down his face as he crashed down into the floor.

Tearing up at the sight of her Grandpa Ryu dying, a vengeful and glaring Transformed Apis turned to glare down at an evilly laughing Commodore Nelson Royale as she then flew down to appear above the Main Marine Ship and reared back her head as her eyes glowed a bright golden and used her, 'Changeling Soul: Millennial Dragon Soul Ryu Dragon Roar', Supermove to open up her glowing yellow mouth as Apis fired out a stream of golden flames that flew down to impact against the Main Marine Ship and caused it to blow up in a huge fiery golden explosion as the water rippled around it violently.

After being rightfully corrected by Apis, Pin Joker then glared up at the flying girls and used his, 'Pin Joker...Special Attack...Needle Needle Sting' Supermove to send out a barrage of feathers containing Skunk One's Devil Gas towards the duo as Anya merely reared back her arms and slammed her hands against each other, creating a big shockwave that blew back all of the feathers back over to collide against Pin Joker's body paralyzing him as he was left stunned by this.

I'm gonna' follow my dreams,

However crazy they seem,

I'm gonna' share them with you!

A love so true,

You're all I want, together, we can move on,

Live how we want to!

Multiple vast images of all of the Incoming Arc Villains appear before us as we see Laboon, Crocus, Ms. Wednesday, Karoo, Mr. Broccoli Day, Mr. 9, the Unluckies, Mr. 8, Miss Monday, Mr. 5, Ms. Valentine, Dorry and Brogy, Mr. 3, Miss Goldenweek, Wapol, Mr. 2, Miss Bird's Day, Smoker the White Hunter, Mr. 10, Mr. 4, Miss Merry Christmas, Mr. 1, Miss Doublefinger, Miss All Sunday, and Crocodile as all of the Straw Hat Pirates' Villains posed menacingly and scowled stoically.

There is no limit to us,

We have the power of love,

And we don't wanna' live ordinary lives!

We have the chance to live in paradise,

Believe in Wonderland!

We then see the Straw Hats running across or flying above the beach with a Sea King yawning in the background as we see various shots of Shanks and his crew before we see the Straw Hat Pirates hanging out in the Going Merry while rowing along the ocean of the Grand Line as a grinning Luffy used the Straw Hats' flag as a cape, a smirking Asher carried around a smiling Apis around on his shoulders, a smiling Nami held Anya in her arms, Zoro laid on the deck with his arms placed behind his head as Cottontail and Jake and Squish slept near him, an excited Usopp was sailing the ship while Kaya wrapped her arms around his body with a warm smile on her face, Jack stood on the deck of the ship and was yelling directions at the lovebirds on where to sail the Going Merry with Akira standing near him as he was cleaning up the deck with the help of a mop, and Sanji was standing in the kitchen, cooking up some grub as Gin helped him out.

{Bombs Away-Season 2 Theme Song Over!}

"Nami! I have a report of love! I see enormous clouds up ahead!" A heart-eyed Sanji exclaimed as we cue to the next day and we see the Going Merry sailing through the seas with Asher, Nami, Anya, Akira, and Squish standing on the upper deck while Luffy was sitting on his special seat with Cottontail lying on his lap as Zoro, Gin, and Jack were training with each other on the lower deck while Jake supervised them as Sanji, Kaya, and Apis hang out in the masthead as Usopp was manning the Going Merry's Rudder.

"The Seagulls say that there's a storm coming, but they also spotted Reverse Mountain straight ahead!" Apis yelled while riding around in Kaya's arms and talking with Seagulls as her eyes flashed yellow.

"A storm, huh? That's not good." Asher says with a worried tone as Nami sighs heavily while checking her charts.

"Well, at least we are back on our original course now, and you are lucky that we can't afford another detour to take you back to Clockwork Island," Nami says while giving Anya a scolding glare as she giggles.

"I'm sorry, Mama."

"For the hundredth time, my Big Sis and Asher aren't your parents," Akira says with an annoyed tone as Asher nods.

"Yeah, we are too young to be parents."

"We aren't even married."

"Hey, how much further are we to the Red Line?!" Kaya screamed down from the masthead as Nami took a minute to glance down at her chart again.

"We should be seeing the Red Line at any time now."

"Oh, man, we are almost there to the Grand Line! Isn't this exciting, Cottontail, we're finally going to the Grand Line! We did it!" Luffy cheered while roughly patting Cottontail on the head repeatedly as he hissed angrily.

"Cut it out, asshole! That hurts!" Cottontail snapped angrily as we then fast forward in time, and we see all of the Straw Hat Pirates having a meeting in the Going Merry's Kitchen/Meeting Room as Usopp was still manning the rudder.

"Take a look at this," A serious Nami says while placing her chart on the table as everyone turns to her. "I'd heard rumors about it and it's drawn on this map too. If it really is true, then the entrance to the Grand Line is on a mountain."

"A mountain? So what? Do we crash into it or something?" Zoro asked as Jake gave him a whitening look.

"Don't be stupid, Zoro."

"Yeah, I know that it's hard to believe it but the mountain is filled with canals, so we have to go up and over it."

"What are you talking about? Even if there are canals, a ship can't climb up a mountain," A confused Kaya asked before noticing that Usopp was having trouble with the rudder as she went over to help her crush.

"This mountain can, however, trust me, the Don Krieg Pirates were equally shocked to find out that ships have to go up and down the mountain to reach the Grand Line. It's why it's called Reverse Mountain." Gin says as Sanji nods and glares over at Zoro.

"Yes, and Nami would never say anything that's wrong, so if she says that we have to go up and down Reverse Mountain, then that is what we are going to do!"

"Yeah, Mama is always right," Anya says with a nod as Zoro sighs heavily.

"Look, all I'm saying is that Nami stole that map from Buggy the Clown, right? Can we really trust it?" Zoro asked as an annoyed Usopp, and Kaya turned to the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey! A little help would be nice over here!"

"Can one of you with super strength come and help us?! Fast legs aren't working here, you know!"

"I got it," Gin says with a heavy sigh as he gets up from his seat and makes his way over to help out Usopp and Kaya with the rudder as they pull on it and notice something's off.

"Thanks, Gin, the current today seems weirdly stronger than usual," Usopp says, causing Nami to perk up at what he said as she gasped.

"The current...that's it!"

"What is it, Big Sis?" Akira asked curiously while having Squish lying in his lap as Nami glanced down at her map again.

"The canals really do go up the mountain."

"You are not wrong. I was talking with the fish this morning and all of them told me how hard it is to live around these parts because the water goes up Reverse Mountain." Apis says as Nami nods.

"Exactly, you see, on the map, the guiding light was definitely pointing to this spot on the Red Line, which is called Reverse Mountain, exactly the same name that Gin referred to earlier."

"Yeah, and do you guys see these canals right here?" Jack asked as he pointed at the canals on the map. "If major currents from the four oceans all flow towards this mountain, what do you think is going to happen?"

"All four currents would go up these canals, collide at the top, and then flow straight down to the Grand Line," Jake says as Nami nods.

"Yes, and Reverse Mountain is a, 'Winter Island', so any currents that collide into the Red Line will plummet from the surface into the depths. If we fuck up and miss the entrance to the canal, the Going Merry will run smack into the Red Line's rock face and likely get destroyed with the ship and all of the crew being sucked down into the bottom of the ocean. Understand?"

"So, basically, it's a mystery mountain," Luffy says as Asher nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it all makes sense," Asher says as an annoyed Nami is about to scold them for not understanding what she and the others said, only for Cottontail to fly over and land on her shoulder as he shakes his head.

"It's best to not waste our precious time trying to explain how the Reverse Mountain works to these idiots," Cottontail says as Nami sighs heavily but nods in agreement.

"Anyway, now that we're on this current, as long as we don't mess up with the rudder, we should be able to go straight to the summit of Reverse Mountain."

"Why do I feel like the rudder is going to break now?" A groaning Apis asked Anya nervously as she shrugged.

"Anya has only been with you guys for a day, but Anya can tell that the rudder is going to break soon..."

"Call me skeptic, but I've never heard of this going over mountains before," Zoro asked with a scoff and crossed his arms as Sanji grinned.

"Well, I have heard stories."

"Stories about the Mystery Mountain?" Luffy asked curiously as Sanji shook his head.

"No, I've heard that half of everyone who heads to the Grand Line dies before entering," Sanji said as Gin shivered in fear.

"Trust me, those stories aren't fake."

"True that, I mean, think about it, if the Grand Line was so easy to get into, everyone in the East Blue would've gone to the Grand Line by now," Jack says as Jake hisses in agreement as we then fast forward in time and we see the Straw Hat Pirates standing outside on the deck due to the Going Merry heading into the storm and it began raining heavily with winds picking up.

"Sanji! Asher! Jack! Get the sails!" Nami ordered as Sanji, Asher, and Jack went over to get the sails as Akira narrowed his eyes and gasped at the sight of Reverse Mountain as he pointed over at it.

"Guys! I see Reverse Mountain!" Akira yelled while holding Squish with his remaining arm as the Straw Hat Pirates turned to gasp at Reverse Mountain in shock and awe.

"That's insanely huge!" A stunned Usopp as Kaya gasped in amazement.

"Wow, the entrance to the Grand Line..."

"Man, the Red Line is even cooler than I thought," Asher says with Cottontail sitting on his right shoulder as his eyes widen comically in shock at the sight of it.

"I can't see the top! It's taller than the clouds!" Cottontail yelled just as the Going Merry began getting sucked into the Red Line due to the currents as Luffy looked around worriedly.

"We're getting sucked in!"

"We need to hold the rudder steady!" Jack yelled to Sanji, Gin, and Usopp as they nodded.

"We're on it!" Sanji, Gin, and Usopp screamed while turning around to run inside the cabin to grab the rudder to hold it steady.

"Big Sis! Where's the entrance that you were talking about?!" Akira asked concernedly as Zoro nodded with a glare.

"Yeah, we're gonna crash into the rocks if we keep going this way!" Zoro yelled to Nami, who eyed something in Reverse Mountain as she gasped in realization.

"There's a crack in that cliff!" Nami yelled as an anxious Anya turned to Apis.

"Do you think that you can ask one of your Animal Friends where the entrance to Reverse Mountain is?!"

"There are no animals around these parts but my Fish Friends told me that we would be able to find the entrance if we keep going straight!"

"Nami, this is serious, give us a direction!" A worried Kaya asked Nami, who composed herself as she turned to the boys.

"As Apis said, keep going straight!"

"Are you serious?!" A panicking Usopp asked as Nami glared at him.

"Just trust me!"

"If Nami says that this is the path to Reverse Mountain then so be it!" Asher says with a serious nod as Cottontail and Jake nodded in agreement.

"Nami! Is that canal the entrance?!" Luffy asked as Nami nodded knowingly.

"More than likely!"

"I have to be dreaming! It's impossible!" A shocked Zoro says while using his binoculars to glance over at Reverse Mountain as Kaya does the same with her own binoculars and is shocked to see the ocean moving up Reverse Mountain.

"Whoa! This is crazy! The ocean really is flowing up this mountain! How is this possible?!"

"First rule of the Grand Line, never expect anything to make sense!" Gin yelled from the cabin as Jack nodded with a big grin on his face and pointed over at the Water Gates.

"Gin's right! Now, we just have to make sure that we make our way through those Water Gates just right!"

"Yeah, any wrong move, and the Going Merry will be wrecked into pieces!" Jake added just as the Straw Hat Pirates noticed that the Going Merry was drifting over to the left as Asher cursed.

"Shit! We are moving off course!"

"Move more towards the right! The right!" Akira yelled to Sanji, Usopp, and Gin after turning to them.

"The right?!" Sanji asked confusedly as Usopp nodded.

"Yeah! Go starboard! Put your back into it!" Usopp ordered as he, Sanji, and Gin used their combined strength to move the Going Merry's Rudder to the right, only to accidentally break it off as everyone gasped in shock and horror.

"Oh, shit! The rudder is broken! We're going to crash!" A panicking Cottontail yells as Apis grows serious and shakes her head.

"Oh, no we don't!" Apis screamed as she ran forward and leaped off the Going Merry while ignoring the Straw Hat Pirates' protests for her to come back as she narrowed her eyes in determination. "Changeling Soul: Millennial Dragon!" Apis exclaimed while holding out her arms, and her eyes gained black scleras as well as glowing golden pupils as golden smoke covered her body and began growing in size as she transformed into her changeling form as Apis roared loudly and flew over to slam herself against the Going Merry, creating a big shockwave that forced the ship to move to starboard as it went back to its original course.

"Good job, Apis!" Anya cheered as Apis flew back and front-flipped forward while her scleras then turned white, and her eyes stopped glowing golden as they returned to being brown again, and a huge burst of golden smoke appeared on her body as we see her morphing back into her Human Form and landed down on the Going Merry's Deck as Apis struck a cutesy pose.

"Tada~!"

"APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS! APIS!" Luffy, Cottontail, Jack, Nami, Akira, Squish, Zoro, Usopp, Kaya, Jake, Sanji, Gin, and Anya cheered with Asher going over to grab Apis by her waist and began throwing her up and down as she giggled and smiled happily.

"Whoo-hoo! Now it's just a straight shot to the summit!" Nami cheered as Luffy gained starry eyes.

"Oh, man! This view is amazing!"

"You got that right, Captain," Asher says while holding Apis as all of the Straw Hats smile joyfully with Gin having a twinge of fear in his smile as everyone then pauses a bit when a heavily injured yet bandaged-up Eric the Whirlwind appears out of nowhere and lands on the railings of the ship as he glared at his foes.

"Curse you all!"

"It's him again!" Jack says with a surprised tone while Jake hissed at Eric angrily as, instead of looking scared or frightened, Apis just gained a more annoyed look on her face and rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"Ugh, man, you again? Didn't you die back on the Dragon's Nest?"

"Has he been seriously following after us ever since we left Warship Island?" A disbelieving Akira as Cottontail shrugged.

"Seems like it."

"Now that is some determination." An impressed Usopp says as Anya blinked confusedly.

"Anya wants to know who is that guy."

"Just some chump who has been giving us trouble in the past. In fact, we met him when we met Apis. He was trying to capture her for her Devil Fruit Powers and get the Dragonite from her Late Grandpa Ryu." Zoro explained with Anya nodding in understanding as Eric glared at all of them furiously.

"Shut up! I despise the entire lot of you! Thanks to you, my dream of getting some of that precious Dragonite has been crushed! I can't just leave things as they are now! At the very least, I'll have your 30 Million Berry head!" Eric screamed while pointing over at Luffy as he fumed angrily. "Just surrender to your fate like a good little boy!"

"Ugh, great, I hope someone has a plan here because if he uses his Wind Slashes here, there's no telling what he'll rip apart," Sanji says with a serious glare on his face as Gin nodded stoically.

"We can't act carelessly here," Gin says as Eric begins laughing evilly and drops down into the deck of the Going Merry.

"How do you like that?! You can't lay a finger on me now-," Eric says before getting interrupted by Kaya running forward to run around his body at high speeds before stopping and appearing in front of him as Eric the Whirlwind was left in just his underwear, embarrassing him and left him distracted enough for Nami briefly grew to her giant size to raise her hand and latched onto him as she proceeds to fling him out of the Going Merry and crashed down into the ocean, disappearing from sight as the orange-haired woman then shrunk back to her normal size.

"...Well...that was anti climatic." A surprised Jack says as the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates then turn to Nami and Kaya, who are waving cheerfully at a drowning Eric goodbye.

"Nice one! Good thinking!"

"He, he, thanks, I would be worried if he came back again if we already didn't know that Devil Fruit Users can't swim," Nami says with a giggle as she shares a high five with Kaya.

"I think this will be the last time we will ever see him again,"

"Good riddance." Apis says with a dark tone, scaring everyone a bit as the Straw Hat Pirates then noticed that the Going Merry was getting higher and higher up Reverse Mountain while sailing above the clouds as everyone looked around in awe and amazement as, after reaching the summit, the Going Merry was launched up high into the air with a big splash of water and ice crystals as the Straw Hat Pirates then landed back down on the other side of the Reverse Mountain and began sailing towards at high speeds as Asher and the others were incredibly happy upon realizing that they were all finally in the Grand Line.

"To go to the Grand Line and find the All Blue!"

"To become the King of the Pirates!"

"To become the strongest man in the world!"

"To find my people!"

"To find as many unique animals as I can and keep them under my own care in my own little zoo!"

"To become the world's great swordsman!"

"To overcome my fear of the Grand Line and reach the last island!"

"To draw the map of the entire world!"

"To end the hate and war between the Humans and Fish-Men and bring eternal peace between both species!"

"To become a brave warrior of the sea!"

"To become a real nurse and live out my life to the fullest!"

"To become a legend like my old man Gold Roger, and one of the 4 Emperors of the Sea!"

"To help accomplish my owner's dream!"

"To become just as amazing as Chichi and Mama are!" Sanji, Luffy, Asher, Cottontail, Apis, Zoro, Gin, Nami, Akira, Usopp, Kaya, Jack, Jake, and Anya exclaimed in unison while zooming down Reverse Mountain as everyone cheered loudly...but then a few of the Straw Hat Pirates raised an eyebrow confusedly when they heard a loud howl in the distance.

"Hey, what's that strange noise?!" A confused Zoro asked just as the gang hit a big wave of cool water and steam as the howl rang out harder.

"Yeah, I can hear it too!" Asher says suspiciously as Nami shrugs carelessly

"It's probably just the wind! At this speed, everything sounds distorted!"

"Nami! I see a mountain up ahead!" Usopp screamed while using his goggles to see some type of huge blue object placed in front of them as Nami, Jack, and Gin did a double take in shock.

"A mountain?! That's impossible!" Jack yelled as Gin nodded in agreement worriedly.

"Yeah, none of the remaining Don Krieg Pirates had encountered any type of mountains or resistance when we got into the Grand Line!"

"No, wait, Usopp is right! There's something up ahead!" Kaya yelled concernedly while pointing ahead as Sanji squinted his eyes at the large blue object that they were sailing straight towards and gasped sharply.

"Holy crap! Like always, women are right! There's something right in front of us!"

"Who cares?! Let's go!" Luffy shouted as Nami bit her lip nervously.

"After passing the Twin Capes up ahead, there should be nothing but the ocean!"

"Then what's that, Mama?!" Anya asked while pointing over at the big blue mountain, which turned out to be a 1312'4-feet-tall, 51-year-old Male Island Whale as he resembled an extremely large whale, comparable in size to most of the Calm Belt's Sea Kings with his eye alone is several times larger than the Going Merry as his skin is blue, coupled with short fins and a fluked tail as much of his head is crisscrossed with scars as his interior contains a complex network of metal chambers and tunnels, installed to deal with his habit of swallowing ships that challenge or annoy him as the largest of these chambers, built into his stomach, can receive newly-swallowed ships from his esophagus and allow them to leave through a set of gates leading to his blowhole as it also holds an artificial island with a cabin as this chamber is 'painted' with an unknown material that not only resembles the daytime sky, complete with clouds but apparently produces its own light..somehow...don't think about it too hard, it's One Piece. His name is Laboon, an Island Whale who has become a close companion of the Rumbar Pirates after getting separated from his pod as a baby, but he had to be left behind under Crocus's care due to the dangers of the Grand Line as the pirates promised they would come back for Laboon someday, so the whale still awaits their return to this day.

"It's a black mountain!" A panicking Luffy screamed as Nami shook her head.

"No, it isn't!"

"Then what is it?!" Kaya asked with wide, shaking eyes as Apis gasped in shock at the sight of Laboon.

"It's an Island Whale! I've heard stories about them from Grandpa Bokuden, but I never realized how freaking huge they could be!"

"What are we going to do?!" Akira asked concernedly as Jake looked around confusedly.

"Should we fight it?!"

"Hell no, are you crazy?! We can't fight that!" Cottontail pointed out as Luffy perked up and turned to Asher.

"Asher! Try to blow it up!"

"Are you insane?! I can't blow up anything that huge! Even I'm not that strong yet!"

"Yosh, then Akira? Swim after it and beat it up!" Luffy ordered as Akira glared at him.

"Are you kidding me?! Even if I can swim, I can't take that thing on! I doubt that all of the Arlong Pirates could take it on at once!"

"Apis-,"

"Luffy, don't even go there! I refuse to try and talk to that Island Whale or try and transform into it!" Apis screamed with a scowl as Anya nodded and glanced down at her hands.

"Yeah, and I don't think that I can handle that Island Whale even if I was in my Giant Size," Anya says as Luffy slowly turns to her and blinks slowly.

"...Hey since when did you get so small?"

"YOU JUST NOW NOTICED THAT I HAD SHRUNK HER IN SIZE YESTERDAY?!" A disbelieving and pissed-off Nami asked as Usopp and Kaya hugged each other fearfully.

"What are we going to do?! Our path is blocked by that 100-ton whale! How do we escape?!"

"Everyone calm down!" Jack snapped as he pointed over at Laboon. "If this Island Whale looks like a wall from this close, then we must be a speck to him!"

"That's right! It's possible that he may not have even noticed us yet!" Sanji yelled as Zoro narrowed his eyes angrily.

"But unless we do something, we'll run into it!"

"Look! We can get through on the left!" Gin screamed while pointing over to the left as the Straw Hat Pirates spotted a small gap that led to the ocean.

"Port! Hard to port!" Jake shouted as a whimpering Cottontail shook his head.

"We can't move the ship, remember?! The rudder is broken!"

"We have to do something! Anything!" Asher screamed as Luffy perked up.

"Oh, I have an idea!" Luffy yelled while turning around to run into the cabin as Nami watched him go confusedly.

"Luffy, what are you doing?!" Nami asked as we see Jack, Zoro, Sanji, Gin, Usopp, and even Anya working together to try and move the rudder to the left but failed as the Going Merry continued heading straight towards Laboon and was about to crash into him, but then a smirking Luffy was able to fire one of their cannonballs over to collide against Laboon's stomach.

"THE CANNON?!" Asher, Apis, Cottontail, Jack, Nami, Akira, Squish, Zoro, Usopp, Kaya, Jake, Sanji, Gin, and Anya asked in unison as, amazingly, the force of launching the cannonball did, in fact, slow the Going Merry down enough to not ram into Laboon but it caused the Luffy's Favorite Seat to get ripped off its foundation and got thrown back over to crash down into the deck harmlessly.

"Ah, we're screwed, this is it..." Nami says with teary eyes while crashing down onto the ground as Apis, Akira, Cottontail, Squish, Jake, and Anya go over to hug her as they all cry comically in fear, and everyone waits for Laboon to attack them in revenge for shooting him with the cannonball...but surprisingly, nothing happened as he stood still.

"...Did...Did he die?" Kaya asked nervously as Jack shrugged anxiously.

"Don't know, don't care! Let's get out of here before it's too late!"

"Can someone tell me what the fuck just happened?!" Usopp asked as Sanji turned to him.

"It's so big that the cannonball didn't make it flinch!"

"That or his reaction time is slow!" Gin added as Zoro shrugged.

"Who cares?! Let's get out of here now!" Zoro ordered just as Laboon let out a loud pulse call that made everyone cover their bleeding ears.

"MY EARS!" Akira screamed with a pained look on his face as Anya covered her ears with tears in her eyes.

"IT HURTS!" Anya shouted as the Straw Hat Pirates' Pets were sent crashing down into the ground, and held their ears in agony as they could feel their brains being close to getting blown up by how loud Laboon sounded.

"APIS! CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY?!" Nami asked as a crying Apis held her bleeding ears.

"I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE RINGING IN MY EARS! AS WELL AS MY HEARTBEAT!"

"WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Asher shouted just as a furious Luffy appeared as he glared up at Laboon.

"YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST BREAK MY SPECIAL SEAT AND GET AWAY WITH IT?! TAKE THIS!" Luffy exclaimed while firing a stretchy punch over to collide with Laboon's eye.

"YOU FUCKING MORON!" Nami, Apis, Cottontail, Akira, Squish, Jake, and Anya screamed with teary white eyes and shark teeth as Laboon slowly glared down at them.

"OH, YOU LIKE THAT?! THERE'S PLENTY OF MORE WHERE THAT CAME-,"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE YOU KILL US, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!" Asher, Jack, Zoro, Usopp, Kaya, Sanji, and Gin exclaimed while punching or kicking Luffy down on the ground, but it was too late as Laboon opened up his mouth and began sucking up the Going Merry inside, causing everyone to be knocked around as a yelping Nami falls backwards and collided against Kaya, Zoro, and Usopp while placing her hands on them as she accidentally used her Devil Fruit powers to grow Kaya's breasts to become H-Cups while also shrinking Zoro and Usopp down to be 2-inch tall as, thankfully, their clothes shrunk with them.

"NAMI!" A heavily blushing Kaya screamed with her clothes getting nearly ripped apart because of her enlarged breasts as she tried and failed to wrap her arms around them.

"YOU FUCKING WITCH!" An angry Zoro screamed with Gin reacting quickly and bent down to grab both him, and Usopp as the Going Merry shook violently and it caused Luffy, Apis, and Cottontail to be thrown off the boat.

"APIS!" Asher, Nami, Anya, Kaya, and Akira screamed as Apis began falling down through the air before composing herself and yelling, 'Changeling Soul: Millennial Dragon-Wings!' while holding out her arms and her eyes gained black scleras as well as glowing golden pupils as golden smoke occurred and a pair of long huge mustard yellow wings with maroon edges that had mustard-colored circles planted on them appeared on her back as Apis then took flight.

"LUFFY!" Zoro, Gin, Usopp, and Jack shouted as Luffy recovered quickly and used his, 'Gomu Gomu No Elastic Grab!', to thrust his arm forward as his fist sailed through the seas at high speeds and latched onto one of Laboon's teeth as the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates proceeds to twirl around and launched himself up to land on top of the Island Whale.

"COTTONTAIL!" Jake and Squish exclaimed as Cottontail took flight and flew upwards just as the Going Merry got eaten by Laboon as he closed his mouth and Apis and Cottontail flew up to land on top of Laboon, landing alongside Luffy as they all panted heavily from the traumatizing event.

"That was so fucking crazy!" A shocked Apis says as her Millennial Dragon Wings disappeared with a poof of yellow smoke while her scleras turned white, and her eyes stopped glowing golden and they returned to being brown again. "Our friends got eaten by an Island Whale!" A disbelieving and worried Apis yelled as an angry Luffy began slamming his foot against Laboon's head angrily.

"HEY, YOU! SPIT THEM OUT! GIVE EVERYONE BACK!"

"Luffy, that's not gonna work!" Apis screamed just as Laboon began sinking down into the water slowly as this caused Luffy to grow more enraged and lower himself down to begin punching Laboon repeatedly as Cottontail spotted a glint in the distance and flew over to it curiously.

"HEY, YOU JERK! GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS NOW! LISTEN TO ME, YOU LIVING SNACK! I'M NOT GONNA SAY THIS AGAIN! STOP SINKING AND GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS! WE'RE GOING ON ADVENTURES TOGETHER! THEY'RE PRECIOUS TO ME, SO GIVE THEM BACK!"

"Luffy, you are not going to convince the whale to spit out our friends! The best that we can do now is for me to transform and fly us out of here so we can come up with a plan to save Asher and the others!" Apis screamed with teary eyes as Luffy panted with rage and was about to say something, but then-

"Hey, guys, look at what I found!" Cottontail says while standing on top of a hatch as Luffy and Apis turn to him in shock before scrambling over to open up the hatch and getting inside while closing up the hatch just as Laboon sinks down into the ocean as we cue back to the others and we see them residing in the interior of Laboon's Stomach as, while a few of them were panicking because of the situation, a few others were a bit distracted by other things.

"Ha, look, Shitty Moss Head is now barely taller than an Ant." A bemused Sanji says while pointing over at Zoro, who was riding around on Gin's shoulder as he glared at him before grinning sardonically and chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm now the same size as your penis."

"WHY YOU LITTLE!" A fuming Sanji screamed while planning to go over and try and beat him up but was stopped by Asher and Jack.

"Awww, you are so cute like this, Usopp~," Kaya cooed while having Usopp ride around on her H-Cup Breasts as she then lowered herself to kiss the top of his head, but due to how giant her lips are compared to him, the busty woman ended up kissing Usopp's entire body before separated from him as the Straw Hat Sniper was left with a big kiss mark on his body and blushed heavily with a goofy smile on his face.

"Anya thinks Miss Kaya killed Mr. Usopp," Anya says with a blink as a distraught and angry Sanji drops down to his knees and begins punching the ground repeatedly.

"This is not fair! I should've been the one to shrink down instead of Usopp!" Sanji screamed while crying out comical tears of dismay and frustration as Akira then grinned evilly and walked up to jump up and snatch Zoro away from Gin's shoulder.

"Hey, look, Squish, I just got a new favorite toy," Akira says with a sinister tone in his voice as Squish rode around on his back.

"Hey! You little bastard! Let me go right now!"

"Hmmm, I think we need to investigate and figure out what is going on so...Zoro, go and swim around for us, yeah?" Akira asked with a sly, evil grin as he began dangling a now nervous and scared Zoro over the railings of the Going Merry as he held him above the sea of acid.

"YOU LITTLE FISH FUCKER! I SWEAR THAT WHEN I'M BACK TO MY NORMAL SIZE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME SUSHI OUT OF YOU!"

"Akira, stop that!" Asher yelled scoldingly while rushing over to snatch back Zoro, and placed him on Gin's shoulder as he then turned to Nami. "Babe, do you think that you can grow them back to normal?"

"And shrink my boobs again?" Kaya asked as she continued petting a blushing Usopp.

"...I'm...not sure exactly, but I will try my best later on after we try and escape out of here..."

"TRY YOUR BEST?! YOU BETTER GIVE IT YOUR ALL! I DON'T WANT TO BE SHRUNKEN LIKE THIS FOREVER!" Zoro and Usopp snapped angrily as this caused a shameful Nami to accidentally use her Devil Fruit Powers to shrink down into being 2 inches tall, but thankfully, her clothes shrunk with her.

"Guys, give Nami a break, she's trying the best she can," Asher said with a stern tone as Zoro and Usopp huffed but nodded. "Now...where are we again?" Asher asked while bending down to grab Nami and placing her on his left shoulder as Kaya shrugged.

"I'm not sure really."

"Yeah, is this even real?" A heavily confused Sanji asked as a panicking Gin looked around.

"See this is why I always said expect the unexpected in the Grand Line! We just got swallowed up by the Island Whale and somehow ended up outside again!"

"Hey, don't move around too much! I can fall off!" Zoro yelled while holding onto his jacket for dear life as Usopp snapped out of his lustful state and grew fearful as he hugged a blushing Kaya's H-Cup Breasts.

"What is going on?!" A weirded-out Usopp asked as Jack nodded and turned to the others.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that we got swallowed up by the Island Whale," Jack says as Anya perks up and steps forward as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Mr. Isssssssssssssssslaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssse releaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssse usssssssssssssssssss."

"What are you doing, sweetie?" Kaya asked confusedly as Anya turned to smile at her.

"I'm trying to speak to the Island Whale to release us."

"...I...just try your best sweetie." Kaya says with a heavy sigh as Asher looks around and spots a nearby as he points over at a nearby artificial island with a cabin.

"Hey, guys, look, we somehow landed in front of that small island," Asher says as Akira raises an eyebrow worriedly.

"What's with that house anyway?"

"Are we in Heaven or the bad place?" Anya asked nervously just as a Great King Squid appeared in front of them as Jake hissed worriedly.

"Hell! We are definitely in hell!" Jake yelled as Asher and the others were planning to attack the Great King Squid, only for it to be speared multiple times by someone on the island as it was retracted towards it.

"It looks like someone's home," Asher says with a serious glare on his face as Zoro nods.

"Let's just hope it's a person."

"I've had enough, let's go home," Nami says with comical tears in her eyes while hugging Asher's neck tightly as an equally tearful Usopp nods.

"Luffy and the others disappeared too. What's gonna happen to us?"

"Yeah, where are they?" Kaya asked as we cue over to the others, and we see Luffy, Apis, and Cottontail blinking slowly with big sweatdrops on their heads as they had somehow ended up in a big metal chamber with tunnels on it.

"Guys, not that I'm complaining about going through a Whale's Innards, but what the heck is going on here?" A heavily confused Cottontail asked as Luffy nodded in agreement and turned to Apis.

"Uh, Apis, I don't know much about Whales, but why was there a hatch and a passageway inside?"

"I don't know, this doesn't make any sense." Apis says while holding her head and had swirls in her eyes as we then cue back to the others, and a nervous Akira turns to the others.

"Uh, shall we fire the cannon at that island?" Akira asked as Sanji shook his head and held out his arm.

"No, hold on for a second. Someone's coming out." Sanji says as he and the others spot a man emerging out of the cabin as he narrows his eyes at them stoically and begins pulling on the rope that had the harpoons attached to the Giant King Squid's dead body.

Standing before them is a 6'8-feet-tall, 71-year-old Man with the appearance of a crocus flower as he has black eyes, white hair with a bald spot and yellow flower petal-like things that have purple near the bottom of them, thick shaggy white eyebrows, a big stumpy nose, his lower lip is noticeably larger than his upper lip, a sharp chin with a big shaggy white beard that splits into two parts, wrinkly tan skin with a scar on his left arm, a rather stocky and muscular body, and his outfit consists of a pair of black circular-shaped glasses, a seaweed necklace, a short-sleeved pink shirt with a yellow/green stripe and had purple circles in the yellow, three gold bracelets and a green-gem bracelet on his left wrist, blueish-grey shorts, and a pair of pink sandals. His name is Crocus, a Doctor and the Caretaker of the Island Whale Laboon as well as the overseer of the Twin Cape Lighthouse that guides ships coming down from Reverse Mountain into the Grand Line.

"It's an old man." Anya as Gin narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"That old man killed a Great King Squid with a single hit."

"The question is, was he just fishing or did he do it to save us?" Jack pondered as Crocus let go of the rope...and casually made his way over to sit down on a lawn chair to begin reading from his newspaper.

"..."

"SAY SOMETHING, ASSHOLE!" Jake snapped angrily as Usopp nodded.

"Hey, if you wanna fight, we'll fight! We got cannons, you bastard!" Usopp threatened, which would've been effective...if he wasn't hiding inside Kaya's breasts as his crush blushed harder.

"U-Usopp, please don't s-squirm around in there too much. I-It's embarrassing...and, Sanji, can you stop staring at me." An annoyed Kaya says as Sanji had been staring at her H-Cup Breasts lustfully with hearty eyes the whole time they were stuck in Laboon.

"Oh, uh, sorry, Kaya." A blushing Sanji says with a goofy smile before growing serious as he then turns to glare over at Crocus. "So, Old Man, got to say something about our little threat earlier?"

"..."

"...You do that and someone's going to die." Crocus threatened seriously as the Straw Hat Pirates either grew scared or tense as Sanji narrowed his eyes stoically.

"Oh, yeah? And who's that?"

"Me, of course."

"You?!" A confused and angry Sanji asked as Gin reached over to pat him on the back.

"Calm down, Sanji."

"He's mocking us! That bastard!" Sanji growled angrily as Zoro leaned his head forward.

"Hey, Old Man, tell us where we are and who are you."

"..."

"...When asking someone a question, isn't it proper to give your name first?"

"I'M GOING TO CUT HIM DOWN TO PIECES!" An angry Zoro snapped as Sanji snorted and rolled his eyes dryly.

"What are you going to do to him? Give him a paper cut, shitty moss head?"

"Screw you, love cook!"

"Everyone, calm down, he does make a good point," Jack says while holding out his arms to calm everyone down as he then steps forward. "Anyway, hi, sir. I'm Sparrow D. Jack, and these guys are my-,"

"My name is Crocus, and I'm the Lighthouse Keeper. I'm 71-years-old and a Gemini. My blood type is AB."

"WHY DID YOU WANT US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES FIRST IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE US YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ANYWAY?!" Asher snapped furiously as Anya went over to pat his leg.

"Don't worry, Chi Chi, calm down."

"Huh, Crocus, that name rings a bell." Jack thought to himself, remembering his Mom telling him about Crocus being Gol D. Roger's Doctor.

"You're asking where we are, right? How dare you run your mouth when you barged into my private resort? Besides, I thought it was pretty obvious where we are. Does it look like we're in a rat's belly?"

"So you are saying that we WERE eaten by an Island Whale?" A confused Jake asked as Akira nodded.

"Then how are we outside?"

"Yeah, since when did a whale's stomach have an inside?" Kaya asked as Crocus narrowed his eyes seriously.

"..."

"WOULD YOU CUT THAT OUT?!"

"What's wrong? Haven't you heard of a running gag before?"

"THAT WAS A GAG?!"

"The exit is over there," Crocus says while pointing over at a nearby exit as everyone blinked in surprise.

"WE CAN GET OUT?!"

"Hold on a second, why is there an exit in an Island Whale's body?!" Nami asked incredulously as Akira nodded.

"Yeah, why is there a door in the sky?! Can someone please help me make this shit make sense?!" Akira asked as Usopp looked around and gasped upon realizing something weird about, 'the sky'.

"...Wait...look at the sky carefully...the clouds...the seagulls...nothing is moving!"

"Huh, Usopp is right. They are all painted. It's all a painting inside of an Island Whale's Stomach." A shocked Jack says as Crocus smirks cheekily.

"Call it a doctor's playful mind."

"ASHER CONFUSED! MAKE SENSE NOW OR ASHER WILL BLAST YOU!" Asher snapped, having enough with the Mystery of Laboon as Nami and Anya tried to calm him down.

"Chi Chi, calm down, don't let the old man get to you," Anya says as Sanji nods and glares over at the Bombman.

"Yeah, would you shut up already?"

"Nami, there's an exit there, so let's get out of here already," Zoro says Nami nodded just as the entire place began shaking violently as both the Going Merry and the Artificial Island began shaking violently.

"Oh, great what now?!" Gin asked with Zoro holding onto his jacket for dear life Jake hissed in agreement while Usopp accidentally fell inside of Kaya's H-Cup Breasts, causing her to gasp and moan a bit as she blushed.

"Oh god! If this is how I'm going to die, it's going to be one hell of a way to die!"

"Usopp!" A blushing Kaya snapped while reaching into her boobs to pull out Usopp as Crocus sighed somberly with a knowing look on his face.

"It has begun."

"Guys! Look!" Nami yelled as she pointed over at the Artificial Island. "That's not an island! It's a ship! On top of that, it's made of metal!"

"Of course! It's because we are floating in a sea of gastric acid!" Usopp says in realization as Jack curses.

"Which means that we can't stay around here for far too long because the Going Merry is made of wood and it will eventually melt into the sea of gastric acid!"

"Hey! What's with this freaky Island Whale?! Answer me, Old Man!" Sanji ordered Crocus, who sighed heavily as he glanced up at the fake sky.

"This Island Whale is very angry. Laboon has started hitting his head against the Red Line."

"What?!" Zoro and Gin asked in shock as Akira gasped sharply.

"Come to think of it, that Island Whale did have terrible scars on his forehead."

"Not to mention all of that strange howling," Jake says as Asher raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"Why does he do it?"

"He's in pain, Chi Chi." Anya says with teary eyes and a sympathetic frown on her face.

"I see, it's all starting to make sense, but what is the Old Man up to?" Usopp asked confusedly as Kaya glared over at Crocus.

"He's probably trying to kill the Island Whale from inside of his body."

"What a vicious way to kill an animal," Akira says with a glare as Nami nods with a glare.

"He's an evil bastard, I tell you what."

"Okay, now that the mystery is solved, it's time for us to hurry up and get out of this Island Whale before we get digested and die here," Zoro says as Sanji nodded in agreement.

"We have nothing to do with this situation nor do we owe the Island Whale any favors, what we need to focus on is finding a way to get out of here," Sanii says impatiently as the waves continue surging violently.

"We are never going to get anywhere if the waves keep surging like this though!" Jake says as Gin nods.

"Yeah, how can we escape when we can't even move?!" Gin yelled before coming up with a plan as he turned to Akira. "Quick, Kid, get into the water and push the ship closer to the exit!"

"YOU IDIOT! AKIRA CAN'T SWIM! ESPECIALLY IN SEA FILLED WITH ACID!" Nami snapped with wide eyes and shark teeth before yelping in surprise as she grew back to her normal size and crashed down on top of a yelping Asher. "YES! I'M BIG AGAIN!"

"Lucky you..." Zoro and Usopp say while giving her flat glares and big sweatdrops on their heads as Nami gets off Asher's body.

"Okay, I have a better idea," Akira said as he turned to Zoro. "Quick, grab as many piles of wood that you can. We need to cause a huge fire to make the Island Whale sneeze."

"Dumbass, that only works in fairy tales," Zoro says with a scoff as a curious Asher turned to Usop.

"You know what? I always wanted to try this out. Usopp, ddo you love Kaya's big breasts?"

"W-What?! No!" Usopp says with a blush as, much to everyone's shock, his nose grew in size.

"Did you eat Apis's Favorite Snack last night?" Sanji asked as Usopp shook his head.

"No!" Usopp says as his nose grows longer.

"Are you wearing girls underwear?" Zoro asked with a cheeky grin.

"No!" Usopp yelled as his nose grew longer.

"No way, what kind?" Jack asked as he and the others laughed while Jake sneaked over to peek through his pants and grabbed onto his pink thong as he pulled it out.

"It's a thong!"

"Isn't that my thong?!" A shocked and blushing Kaya asked as Usopp blushed harder.

"I NEEDED THIS, I HAD A TERRIBLE RASH!" Usop shouted as Akira and Anya turned to the readers.

"We're sorry for the break in the sequence, but it was our only chance to do a Pinocchio Reference."

"We HAD to, we got swalled by a Whale." Anya says as Usopp reaches over to grab his nose and shoves it back into his face as it shrinks back in size.

"Anyway, We have no other choice but to paddle! Everyone take oars!" Jack ordered with a serious glare as Zoro nodded.

"And afterwards, we need to find Luffy and the others! Thankfully, I saw them escaping out of the Island Whale's Mouth and since Apis and Rat can fly, they should be fine without our help!" Zoro says just as Crocus leaps into the sea of acid as everyone is left stunned by this.

"Holy shit! That old guy just jumped in!" A stunned Akira yelled as Asher did a double take in shock.

"Is he trying to die?!" Asher asked as Sanji nodded.

"Yeah, the acid will burn him alive!" Sanji yelled as we cued back to Luffy, Apis, and Cottontail as we see them banging across the tunnels at high speeds while screaming panickedly as we then cued over to the door leading into the chamber in Laboon's Stomach, and we see three people standing in front of it as they all had sinister grins on their faces.

Standing before us is a 5'7-feet-tall, 16-year-old Teenage Girl with brown eyes, long wavy light blue hair that was tied up into a high ponytail with two chin-length locks of blue hair hanging down on either side of her head, thin black eyebrows, a small pointy nose, a sharp chin, F-Cup Breasts, Light Tan Skin, a short slender hourglass build, a big bubble butt, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved opened lime green coat with white furry accents, a sleeveless strapless light blue shirt with dark blue stripes on it, a blue belt with a white belt buckle, white shorts, and a pair of thigh-high white boots. Her name is Nefertari Vivi AKA Miss Wednesday, one of the Princesses of the Arabasta Kingdom, one of the Twin Daughters of Nefertari Cobra and Titi, the Twin Sister of Ivy, and a Bounty Hunter who works under Baroque Works as she is Mr. 9's Partner and is currently working alongside her crush Mr. Broccoli Day.

Standing before us is a 5'9-feet-tall, 24-year-old Teenage Boy with black eyes, shoulder-length red hair, thin black eyebrows, a small nose, has his agent number written on his cheeks, a sharp chin, Light Skin, a tall muscularly slim build, and his outfit consists of a golden crown, a ruffled red scarf wrapped around his neck, a long-sleeved high-collared dark green jacket with white fluffy accents, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long dark green pants, and a pair of black shoes. His real name is unknown but he is known as Mr. 9, a bounty hunter of Baroque Works, and Miss Wednesday's Assigned Partner.

Standing before us is a 5'5-feet-tall, 15-year-old Teenage Boy with large and somewhat circular dark-green eyes, shoulder-length messy fluffy dark-green hair that sticks up at odd angles around his head as it casts noticeably dark shadows onto itself, a small nose, a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations on each cheek, a sharp chin, Pale Skin, a short yet muscularly toned built, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved dark green opened jacket with black accents, a short-sleeved white shirt underneath with the symbol of broccoli planted on it, a brown belt with a golden belt buckle, long dark green jeans, and a pair of knee-length brown boots. His name is currently unknown but he is known as Mr. Broccoli Day, Mrs. 6's Partner and Vivi's Childhood Best Friend/Crush.

"Okay, we've succeeded in infiltrating this far." Mr. 9 says as he then gives his comrades a serious look. "Listen carefully, Miss Wednesday and Mr. Broccoli Day, behind these doors is the Island Whale's stomach, and that old geezer is likely to be there too. We must eliminate them. Remember, everything is for the Island Whale."

"Yes, Mr. 9, this Island Whale is a precious sweet honey to our town."

"Which means that it's our mission to hunt this Island Whale down." Mr. Broccoli Day says with a nervous gulp as we cue back to the others, and we see the Straw Hat Pirates being surprised by the fact that Crocus had resurfaced and was climbing up the ladder that leads to a balcony with a second mini door attached to the big door in Laboon's Stomach.

"Hey, that Old Geezer popped out!" Akira says as Jack shakes his head.

"Look, forget about him. Our focus should be on finding a way to open these doors." Jack says as we cue back to the others, and we see Mr. 9 leaning forward to whisper into Miss Wednesday and Mr. Broccoli Day's ears.

"Listen, lovebirds-,"

"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Miss Wednesday screamed with a big blush on her face, and a tomato-faced Mr. Broccoli Day began waving his hand around nervously while stuttering hard as Mr. 9 chuckled amusedly.

"Anyway, here's our plan, we'll open the doors after I say, 'Three...two...one, baby!'. Don't let your guard down."

"Roger, Mr. 9. I'm ready any time."

"Wait, what's that sound?" Mr. Broccoli Day asked confusedly while hearing a loud scream in the distance as the trio turned their heads and were shocked to see Luffy, Apis, and Cottontail falling towards them as they collided against the equally screaming trio, sending them crashing through the steel walls and burst into Laboon's Stomach Chamber as Crocus and the Straw Hat Pirates were surprised to see their friends and three strangers arriving onto the scene.

"Oh, no! This is bad! We are going to fall into the sea of acid!" A panicking Mr. 9 screamed as Apis heard this, and grew serious as she narrowed her eyes in determination.

"Changeling Soul: Millennial Dragon!" Apis exclaimed while holding out her arms, and her eyes gained black scleras as well as glowing golden pupils as golden smoke covered her body and began growing in size as she transformed into her changeling form and allowed Luffy and the others to land on top of her as they all sighed in relief while Crocus climbed up the ladder to head into the chamber to help sedate Laboon as we fast forward in time and we see that Apis was able to fly everyone back to the Going Merry before transforming back into her Human Form as the Straw Hat Pirates were crowding around Miss Wednesday, Mr. 9, and Mr. Broccoli Day.

"Well, I don't speak Whale but it seems to have calmed down a bit," Usopp says as Apis glances up, and her eyes flash yellow.

"Hmmm, it seemed that Laboon was sedated to calm down, but yeah we should be fine for now."

"Yeah, although it hurt Laboon when he got hit," Akira says as Gin pauses a bit and turns to him.

"Wait, you could talk to Laboon?"

"Yeah, I didn't realize it until now, but apparently I can understand sea creatures. I've been hearing a strange voice ever since we got into the Grand Line, and I thought it was just my imagination until we got in here and Laboon calmed down."

"Oh, whew," Anya says with a relieved tone, happy to find out that he didn't hear her earlier as Jake slithered over to the villainous trio.

"So, who are these three?"

"That's what I like to know," Asher says as he steps forward with a menacing glare on his face. "We saved your lives, so you might as well tell us who you three are," Asher says as Sanji stares at Miss Wednesday with hearty eyes and a blush on his face.

"Mr. 9, Mr. Broccoli Day, these heathens are Pirates." Miss Wednesday says fearfully while scooting closer to Mr. Broccoli Day as he blushes heavily.

"Y-Yeah, seems so..."

"But if we talk to them, they should understand perhaps." Mr. 9 says as an amused Luffy snorts and points over at Mr. Broccoli Day.

"Hey, his hair looks like a piece of broccoli!" Luffy says as the Straw Hat Pirates turn to Mr. Broccoli Day...and snort as they join in on the laughter, causing him to lower his head in mortification as a fuming Vivi glares at them.

"Hey! Don't laugh at him! I happen to think that his hair looks cute!" Miss Wednesday yelled with a pout, causing Mr. Broccoli Day to cover his blushing head and moan as Crocus suddenly appeared on the balcony of the door and glared down at the trio coldly.

"You parasites are still here?! Don't make me say this again! I won't let you lay a finger on Laboon for as long as I am alive!"

"He's back again," Usopp says with a serious glare as Apis raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"Who is the old guy?"

"And why are Zoro and Usopp small? And why does Kaya have bigger boobs than usual?" Cottontail asked as Zoro fumed.

"Because this damn Witch can't control her stupid Devil Fruit powers!"

"Hey, I said that I was sorry, so fuck off!" Nami snapped as Miss Wednesday and the others began laughing evilly.

"Even if you say so, we can't abandon our mission."

"Taking down this whale is our mission." Mr. Broccoli Day says while putting up a big tough boy act, but it just made him look adorable as a big sweatdrop appeared on his head.

"Who is that twelve-year-old trying to prove by acting like a tough guy?"

"Awww, he's so cute~," Kaya cooed as a heavily embarrassed Mr. Broccoli Day glared back at them.

"I'M 15-YEARS-OLD!" Mr. Broccoli Day snapped just as he and Mr. 9 held out their cannons, and they aimed them at Laboon's stomach.

"Enough distractions! It's time to take action! And this time, we won't let you interfere with our Whale Hunting! We'll open an air vent in this whale's stomach! Let's go, babies!"

"Right!" Miss Wednesday and Mr. Broccoli Day exclaimed in unison while turning around and firing three cannonballs out of their cannons as they were about to collide against Laboon's stomach, only for a worried Crocus to run over and take the hit instead as a big explosion occurred and the Injured Old Man was sent crashing down into the sea of acid below.

"That old man jumped straight into the line of fire!" A shocked Akira says while gripping Squish tightly in his arms as Jack's jaw drops in shock.

"He just risked his life to protect the Island Whale!"

"Stop this meaningless resistance!" Miss Wednesday says with a haughty laugh as Mr. 9 nods.

"If you want to protect that Island Whale so badly then go right ahead!"

"But make no mistake, we'll turn that Island Whale into food for our town-ARGH!" Mr. Broccoli says before an angry Luffy raises his fists and proceeds to slam them against Miss Wednesday and Mr 9's heads, causing their heads to bash against each other's heads and Mr. Broccoli Day's head as well as they all get instantly knocked out and crashed down into the deck of the Going Merry.

"What was that for, Captain?" A surprised Gin as Kaya nodded.

"Yeah, what was that for?"

"I just...felt like hitting them," Luffy answered simply as Cottontail sighed heavily.

"I will go and rescue the Old Man," Cottontail says while flying off as we then fast forward in time, and we see the Straw Hat Pirates hanging out on Crocus's Artificial Island as the now conscious Vivi and the others are tied up and at their mercy.

"I must thank you for saving my life but I have to ask why?"

"I wasn't trying to save you. I just didn't like them for some reason." Luffy explained bluntly as Anya nodded.

"Anya thinks they are bad people too."

"Everyone thinks that, sweetie," Jake says as Nami crosses her arms and glares over at Crocus.

"Okay, it's time that we get some answers."

"Yeah, who are these guys?" Usopp asked while pointing over at the villainous trio as Kaya stepped forward.

"And how did you end up inside of this Island Whale?"

"These three are thugs from a nearby town looking for Island Whale Meat. If they had caught him, Laboon could feed an entire island for about 2 or 3 years easily. All they are concerned with is feeding their fat, greedy bellies." Crocus explained as Zoro raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"Laboon?"

"That's the Island Whale's name." Apis explained as Crocus nodded with a serious glare on his face.

"Yes, Laboon is the world's largest whale, called the Island Whale, which could only live and be found in the West Blue. I won't allow them to have him as food. There's a reason that he keeps hitting himself on the Red Line and howling towards Reverse Mountain."

"There is?" Cottontail asked as Jake nodded.

"Yeah, I just thought he was being crazy or something."

"Yeah, he's an Island Whale with the Heart of a Human, and he's been devotedly waiting for a certain Pirate Group to appear."

"And how long has he been waiting?" Akira asked nervously as Crocus shrugged.

"For about 50 years or so."

"50 years?! Why?!" A shocked Asher asked as Crocus sighed heavily.

"I will tell you," Crocus says as he begins telling them Laboon's Tragic Story, and the Straw Hat Pirates and the villainous trio are able to find out that Laboon has become a close companion of the Rumbar Pirates after getting separated from his pod as a baby, but he had to be left behind under Crocus's care due to the dangers of the Grand Line as the pirates promised they would come back for Laboon someday, so the whale still awaits their return to this day, even after half a century has passed. "...and that's about it."

"So, Laboon has been waiting for those guys to come back for 50 years?!" A shocked Sanji asked as Anya frowned worriedly.

"Is that why he continues to howl at the wall and hit himself against it?" Anya asked as Crocus nodded.

"The Rumbar Pirates, huh? I have heard of them and had heard a rumor that they had a talented musician with a big ass afro, but I don't remember his name." Jack says with everyone eying him oddly but nodding as Crocus continues telling them more about Laboon for a little while.

"...This is some canal." An impressed Gin says as we fast forward in time and we see the Straw Hat Pirates, Crocus, and the villainous trio riding around on the Going Merry as they were sailing straight towards the exit of Laboon's body...no, they will not use THAT kind of exit.

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Laboon is still alive with having a huge hole in his body." A flabbergasted Apis says as Gin turns to Crocus.

"Is this also a part of your playful mind?"

"A doctor's playful mind." Crocus corrected as Asher eyed him curiously.

"Wait, you are a doctor?"

"Yep, legally certified. I also ran a clinic on the cape a long time ago. It was also just a few years ago that I was also a ship's doctor."

"No surprise there." Jack thought to himself with a nod as Luffy perked up and smiled over at Crocus.

"Really? That's great. Then be our ship's doctor."

"Don't be ridiculous," Crocus snapped with a huff as he rolled his eyes. "I no longer have the energy to do reckless things like you guys do."

"Says the guy who jumped into acid earlier..." Akira says with a big sweatdrop on his face as Apis rubs her chin thoughtfully.

"He's a doctor, huh? Well, I guess that makes what he did to Laboon a little bit better because he could heal Laboon of any injuries that he has."

"But why would a Doctor hollow out the insides of an Island Whale?" A bewildered Jack asked with a raised eyebrow as Nami shrugged.

"Maybe he does it to help with Laboon's treatments?"

"The girl is right," Crocus says while arriving near a set of ladders placed on the wall as he climbs up it to reach a balcony planted on Laboon's body. "When the Island Whale is this big, it's impossible to treat it from the outside therefore I opt for a more drastic solution," Crocus says as he then walked over to a valve to twist it, allowing the giant doors on Laboon's Body to open up to reveal the outside world as the Going Merry finally emerged out of Laboon with all of the Straw Hat Pirates enjoying the warm skies as none of them knew that Miss Wednesday and the others were able to wake up from their unconscious states and escaped from their ropes as they then all sneaked off.

"Don't you think 50 years is a bit extreme? Those Pirates sure are making him wait a long time." Usopp says with an oblivious tone as Sanji rolls his eyes and scoffs.

"Are you an idiot? Think about it, numbskull."

"I hate to say it but Sanji's right. This is the Grand Line. If they hadn't returned back a long time ago, then it means that they are all dead."

"Yeah, Laboon can wait forever but he has to face facts here," Zoro says as Kaya frowns somberly.

"It's true. Back in the old days, the Grand Line was an uncharted sea. Way more terrible and chaotic than it is now and that's saying something."

"Why are you all being so mean? Don't think like that."

"Yeah, they can still be alive and come back one day," Cottontail says as Jake nods in agreement.

"Have some sympathy and faith."

"I hate to say it guys, but I agree with them. It has been 50 years. If they hadn't come back now, they won't ever." Asher says solemnly as Luffy shakes his head.

"Nah, I believe that one of the pirates survived but came back as a skeleton and is trapped in a fog for 50 years,"

"Pfft, Luffy, don't be ridiculous. If that is true, then I will spend a week wearing nothing but a pink ballerina tutu." Zoro says with a scoff as Luffy grinned widely.

"That's a deal then. I will hold you to that."

"Look, kid, it's sad to say but reality is cruel," Crocus says as he steps forward. "I confirmed it using a piece of reliable information. The truth is that they had all abandoned their quest and left the Grand Line."

"It can't be...don't tell me...they left without him?!" A shocked and dismayed Usopp asked as a curious Nami turned to Crocus.

"You said that they ran away from the Grand Line, right? Does that mean they went through the Calm Belt Alive?"

"Even if they are alive, they'll probably never come back here. Seasons, weather, currents, wind direction. On the Grand Line, they are all random. Common sense is useless in the Grand Line."

"Expect the unexpected. No room for normalcy." A fearful Gin says as Crocus nods.

"Indeed, the terror of the Grand Line takes over weak minds in an instant."

"So having weak minds, these pirates ran away from this sea like cowards, more focussed on saving their own asses than keeping a promise to a friend?" Sanji asked with a glare as Apis teared up and pointed over at Laboon.

"They abandoned this beautiful Island Whale who has been waiting for 50 years?! How could they?! Pets are supposed to be loved and remembered!"

"That's so cruel," Anya says with a sniffle as Asher goes over to give her a comforting hug and glares over at Crocrus. "If you know all of this, why haven't you told him?"

"Yeah, Laboon can understand Humans, right?" Jack asked as Crocus sighed somberly.

"I did tell him. Every single gruesome detail, but he refused to listen to me. Ever since the day I told him, Laboon began howling at Reverse Mountain, and then he started slamming his body against the Red Line."

"Oh god, it's as if he believes that wall is what keeps his friends away, and by breaking it, he can clear the path for their return," Akira says tearfully as Kaya covers her mouth to stifle her sobs.

"He is so determined."

"Poor guy," Zoro says as even he feels sympathetic for Laboon.

"To animals, masters are a very important part of our lives. If we lose them, it's like losing a piece of our souls." Cottontail says while flying over to wrap around Asher's neck to hug him as Jake slithered over to wrap around Jack's body.

"I believe that the reason why Laboon refuses to believe what Crocus says is because then he will accept the reality that his friends either died in the Grand Line or abandoned him, both fates are far worse than even his own death."

"But you know, it's true that he is a poor Island Whale, but in a way, you were also betrayed, right? I mean, haven't you done enough for him already?" Sanji asked Crocus while smoking his cigarette as he shook his head.

"Look at the scars on his forehead. If he continues to hit his head hard like that, Laboon will die without a shadow of a doubt. It's a strange relationship but I've been with him for half a century, I just can't stand by and watch him die now." Crocus says just as a roaring Luffy ran over to grab the sail of the Going Merry and ripped it off its foundation with the Straw Hat Pirates weirdly hearing what seems to be a young girl screaming in pain as the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates jumped up to land on Laboon's back and began running upwards.

"What is that idiot doing?" An annoyed Nami asked as Zoro sighed heavily.

"We have to watch him every single second of the day."

"Even when we do that, Luffy does shit like this," Gin says just as Luffy reaches the top of Laboon's head as he glares.

"Gomu Gomu No...Flower Arrangement!" Luffy screamed while slamming the Going Merry's Sail into the middle of Laboon's bleeding wound as Usopp's jaw dropped in shock.

"Was that our mast?!"

"MY BABY!" A pale-faced Kaya screamed in surprise and horror before moaning as she proceeded to faint, and Sanji and Gin went over to catch her and Usopp.

"Captain, what are you doing?!" Anya asked confusedly just as Laboon howled with pain as he began swimming around, rocking the Going Merry as everyone held on for dear life.

"YOU ASS! LUFFY, STOP!" Asher, Apis, Jack, Cottontail, Jake, Akira, and Squish screamed in unison as Laboon then leaped out of the water and proceeded to slam himself head-first into some rock formation while making sure to have Luffy hit the full force of their crash landing.

"THE BOY! HE IS DEAD!" A shocked Crocus screamed as Nami shook her head.

"DON'T WORRY! HE DOESN'T DIE EVEN WHEN HE IS CRUSHED!" Nami yelled just as Laboon began heading straight towards Luffy, who grinned widely and leaped up to avoid his lunge as he tried to punch him, only for the Island Whale to tailslap him into the ground, but the Rubberman persisted and threw a second rubbery punch at Laboon's eye, which was stopped by the Island Whale merely ramming him against the wall.

"What does he think he is doing?!" Usopp asked as Zoro sighed heavily.

"Well, this is Luffy we are talking about so he is either saving us or dooming us all..." Zoro says just as Luffy leaped up high into the air to try and hit him again, only for Laboon to ram him into the wall again as he yelped in pain.

"Luffy! What the hell are you trying to do?!" Sanji asked as Jack nodded.

"Yeah, can you let us in on your plan before you get yourself stupidly killed by picking a fight with a 100-ton Island Whale?!" Jack asked just as a howling Laboon moved over to deliver the finishing blow to Luffy, only for him to hold out his hand and stand up from the floor as he grinned widely.

"It's a draw!" Luffy screamed, halting Laboon in his tracks as everyone did a double take in shock and confusion. "I'm strong, aren't I? You wanna defeat me, don't you? Our fight isn't over yet, so we have to fight again. Your buddies are dead, but I'm your rival forever. We definitely have to fight again in order to decide who is stronger. Tell you what, after me and my crew travel the Grand Line, we will come back to see you again. When I come back, let's fight again." Luffy says with a laugh as Laboon teared up and lets out a loud, happy howl as everyone either stares proudly at what Luffy did or were teary-eyed as we then fast forward in time, and we can see that the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates has drawn their Pirate Symbol on Laboon's forehead rather crudely. "Hmmm, this is good. This is the symbol of our promise to fight again. Until we come back, don't remove that mark by hitting your head, got that?" Luffy asked as Laboon howled, and Apis's eyes flashed yellow as she and Akira turned to him.

"Laboon says that he understands."

"And is happy for what you promised to him," Akira says as Luffy smirks widely.

"Good!" Luffy says as we cue over to the Going Merry, and we see Usopp, Kaya, and Gin hard at work repairing the damages done to the Going Merry, either accidentally or on purpose as they then noticed that a certain trio was gone.

"Hmm? Where are those guys?" Usopp asked confusedly as Kaya hummed.

"Maybe they run away?"

"Probably happened when Luffy was fighting Laboon," Gin says as Asher, who was standing near them, nodded.

"I wonder who those guys were," Asher says as we cue over to a small boat, and we see the villainous trio riding around on it as Mr. 9 turns to the others.

"Miss Wednesday, Mr. Broccoli Day, what are we going to do now?"

"Well, in any case, we have to go back and report to the boss." Miss Wednesday says as Mr. Broccoli Day nods with a heavy sigh.

"Yeah, our estimated mission completion time has long passed. Ugh, I can hear the others now, they'll make us out to be no good traitors."

"I know but without our weapons, we don't have any choice but to go back to our office and start over." Miss Wednesday says as Mr. 9 nods and grins evilly as he reaches into his coat.

"It can't be helped. Well, then will we..." Mr. 9 said before trailing off as he sweated nervously. "...oh, crapbaskets..."

"What's wrong?"

"...I...lost the Log Pose..."

"What?! How could you lose the Log Pose?!" An angry Miss Wednesday asked as Mr. Broccoli Day began immediately using his binoculars to look around.

"I don't know but we can't leave without it."

"Uh, guys? We have some bad news. The Pirates have got our Log Pose." Mr. Broccoli Day says before freezing nervously as they spot the Unluckies, which were an Otter and a Condor, flying towards them with their names being Mr. 13 and Miss Friday as they tossed a bomb at them, forcing them to row away panickedly to avoid the blast as we cue back with the Straw Hat Pirates and we see Nami stretching a bit as she sat down on the ground and began looking at her sea charts and compass.

"Okay, then, I'm finally drawing up the plans for the Grand Line Journey now," Nami says as we then cue to the Going Merry Kitchen and we see Gin loading up the Elephant Bluefin Tuna on the table with Apis standing near him as Sanji grinned widely.

"Ah, I can finally cook up the Elephant Bluefin Tuna, and you two have the honor of helping me."

"Let's do this, Sanji." Apis says with a determined nod as Gin nods stoically, and we cue back outside as we see an angry Usopp and Kaya attaching the mast back onto the Going Merry.

"Damn, how dare Luffy break the ship?"

"I know, right? He hurt our baby."

"What?"

"Nothing." A blushing Kaya says while looking away innocently as Asher, who was reattaching Luffy's special seat into the Going Merry with Jack turning to glare at a sleeping Zoro.

"Hey, can you get off your lazy ass and give us a hand?" Asher asked with a glare as Zoro smirked cockily and began clapping his hands.

"You are hilarious," Jack says with a whitening look on his face just as Nami begins screaming loudly as all of the Straw Hat Pirates stop what they are doing to rush over to their Navigator.

"What's wrong, Big Sis?!" Akira asked nervously as Anya looked around curiously.

"Did Luffy break more of the ship again?"

"He better not. Luffy broke our favorite seat." An angry Cottontail says as Jake hissed in agreement.

"Guys, the compass is broken!" A panicking Nami as she pointed at her compass. "The needle is pointing at every single direction!"

"Ah, you're right," Sanji says while he and Gin hold a bunch of dishes that they and Apis had made earlier with the Elephant Bluefin Tuna.

"Wow, it's spinning so much." Apis says as Gin frowns grimly.

"Hate to say it but the same thing happened with our compass when we got here. It really freaked us all out."

"Hmph, it looks like you guys came with no knowledge of the Grand Line, huh? For heaven's sake, did you all come here to die?" Crocus asked with a glare as, unknown to the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy began eating all of their meal. "I thought that I told you all that common sense is useless in this sea. It's not that the compass is broken."

"Indeed. The reason why the needle is spinning is because the islands in the Grand Line contain a lot of magnetic minerals that cause tons of abnormalities throughout the Grand Line. Furthermore, the currents and the winds don't have constancy. As a Navigator, Nami, I can expect how scary this could be to you."

"Yeah, pretty much sums up my time here," Gin says with a grim tone as Kaya raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"But wait, if normal navigation doesn't work in the Grand Line, then how does anyone get around?"

"Fuck, not even flying would work here with all of the messed up wind currents. Much less swimming." Cottontail says as Jake and Squish nodded in agreement.

"Oh man, we are screwed..." A panicking Nami says as Usopp turns to glare at her while riding around in Kaya's H-Cup Breasts as Zoro rides around on Anya's head.

"Hey, you are the Navigator, so navigate stuff!"

"Don't yell at my Big Sister! She's trying her best!" An angry Akira yelled as Crocus stepped forward.

"You need the Log Pose to travel around in the Grand Line."

"Log Pose? What's that? Some kind of food?" Asher asked curiously as Crocus shook his head.

"It's a special compass that can record magnetism."

"Oh, you mean like this?" Luffy asked while holding up the Log Pose that he found earlier as Crocus nodded.

"Yes, exactly. Without the Log Pose, it's impossible to travel in the Grand Line. I mean, you CAN travel without one, but you would have no idea where you would go or how long it would take to get there. It's suicide to travel without the Log Pose."

"I see but hold on a second," Nami says before turning to Luffy, who is still eating his food, as she proceeds to deliver a powerful punch across his face. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT YOU HAD A FUCKING LOG POSE WITH YOU THIS WHOLE TIME?!"

"Ugh, this is something that those three weirdos had dropped on the ship earlier! Why did you hit me?!"

"Felt like it," Nami says with a huff while going over to grab the Log Pose as she studied it carefully. "So this is a Log Pose, huh? There's no dial face."

"You don't need one. It's known that the magnetism of the islands in the Grand Line follows a certain rule. That is, by recording the magnetism of two islands pulling against each other, you can find the route to the next island. Since you can't even figure out its location in this sea, the magnetism record of the Log Pose is the only thing you can depend on. At first, you can pick one out of the seven magnetisms produced by Reverse Mountain, but no matter which island you start with, those magnetisms will eventually pull against each other and link themselves to one route, and the name of the island at the end of the route is...Laugh Tale. It's the last point on the Grand Line. The only one in history who confirmed that island is the King of the Pirates himself."

"Then that means Laugh Tale is the island that contains the One Piece," Anya says excitedly as Crocus shrugs.

"Who knows? That's the most prominent theory, but no one has been able to reach there."

"Heh, don't worry, we will know soon enough when we get there," Luffy promised, shocking Crocus as he then finished his meal. "Anyway, now that I'm done eating, shall we get ready?"

"YOU BASTARD! YOU ATE ALL OF THE FOOD!" An angry Sanji screamed as Zoro's left eye twitched when he and the others noticed that Luffy had eaten all of their food.

"YOU ATE ALL OF THE FOOD THAT SANJI, GIN, AND I WORKED HARD TO MAKE! IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST MEAL THAT I MADE WHERE I DIDN'T BURN ANYTHING!" Apis says while crying endless tears as Akira and Anya walk over to try and comfort her as Asher turns to glare over at Luffy, and Nami glances down to smile at her Log Pose.

"Log Pose, huh? We have to take good care of this then. This is the key to our journey-,"

"DAMN YOU, LUFFY!" Asher says while throwing a pink energy-covered punch at Luffy, producing a big explosion that sends him flying past Nami, breaking apart the Log Pose as the orange-haired woman stood still with a pale face and shaky eyes as a great chill rang out across the area and everyone slowly turned to Nami, who stiffly turned to him with a very angry aura covering her body. "...Uh...babe, I love you-,"

"YOU FUCKING MORONS! YOU HAD COMPLETELY FUCKED US OVER!" Nami snapped while growing out to be 70 feet tall and raised her leg as she proceeded to kick both Luffy and Asher into the ocean as their panicking screams rang out.

"...Hey...correct me if I'm wrong...but...wasn't the thing that broke seriously important to us?!" A worried Usopp asked as Kaya dropped down to the ground in dismay and sadness.

"We are so screwed, we have no choice but to go back to the East Blue. Our adventure is over before it could even properly begin..."

"Don't panic, I will give you mine," Crocus says as he crosses his arms. "As a thank you for helping Laboon," Crocus says just as Laboon resurfaces with Luffy, Asher, Miss Wednesday, Mr. Broccoli Day, and Mr. 9 as he dumps them all back down on the surface.

"Oh, hello, dear lady, please take my hand!" A heart-eyed Sanji says while going over to help Miss Wednesday up from the ground.

"Oh, thanks."

"What's your name~?" Sanji asked with a seductive tone as Mr. Broccoli Day discreetly glared over at him jealously.

"Miss Wednesday."

"Huh, Miss Wednesday? With that kind of name, I expected a goth with twin braids who loves the macabre." Jack pointed out as Mr. 9 then turned to the Straw Hat Pirates pleadingly.

"Hey, we have a favor to ask." Mr. 9 says as Usopp raises his hand.

"Oh, you know what favor that Zoro, Kaya, and I would like to ask?" Usopp asked with a fake cheerful tone as everyone turned to him. "BEING BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL SIZE AGAIN AND HAVING A NORMAL BREAST SIZE AGAIN!"

"SERIOUSLY, WITCH, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, MAKE US BIG AGAIN!" Zoro ordered as Nami hummed thoughtfully and glanced down at her hands.

"Hmmm, I think that I know of a way to change everyone back to normal," Nami said as the duo perked up and nodded with Kaya and Anya reaching down/up to grab Zoro and Usopp before placing them down on the ground as the orange-haired woman held out her arms and concentrated as her arms shined a bit, and much to everyone's shock, both Zoro and Usoppp grew up to be 50-feet-tall. "Oh, uh, I think I went overboard a bit..."

"SO COOL! HEY, NAMI, MAKE ME BIGGER THAN LABOON!" Asher begged as Nami turned to glare at him.

"HELL NO! IF I DO THAT, YOU WOULD LEGIT BLOW THE WORLD!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M GOING TO BECOME SUSHI!" A panicking Akira screamed as he turned around to run over to leap into the ocean.

"...He completely forgot that he can't swim huh?" Gin asked deadpannedly as Vivi raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"A Fishman that doesn't swim?

"That's like a bird who doesn't know how to fly." Mr. 9 says with a big sweatdrop on his head as Mr. Broccoli Day reaches behind him to pull out a notepad and a pencil as he began writing on it.

"A Fishman that can't swim huh? Maybe his inability to swim could be related to some kind of trauma? Or maybe some birth defect? Or maybe he is a type of Fishman that can't swim but has other abilities that compensate for his weakness to swim?" Mr. Broccoli Day says while murmuring to himself, creeping everyone out, and Anya even held her head in pain as an annoyed Luffy stretched his arm over to bonk him on the head.

"STOP NERDING OUT!" Luffy snapped, causing Mr. Broccoli Day to yelp in pain as we fast forward in time, and after Nami was able to find a way to shrink Zoro and Usopp back to their normal sizes and also shrunk down Kaya's breasts to being E-Cups again as well as saving Akira from drowning, we then see the villainous trio bowing to Luffy as the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates stand around him like bodyguards. "Whisky Peak? That's a weird name."

"So what is it?" Jack asked as Mr. Broccoli Day raised his head.

"That is where we live."

"What happened to your ship?" Gin asked as Vivi sweated nervously.

"It was destroyed."

"Isn't that asking too much, Mr. 9, after trying to kill Laboon?" Nami asked with a sly grin as Mr. 9 sweated nervously.

"So what are you guys anyway?" Zoro asked, happy to not be tiny anymore as Mr. 9 fumed.

"I am a king!"

"No you're not," Cottontail says as Jake hisses in agreement.

"We can't say what we are and what we do! We just want to go back home!" Mr. Broccoli Day begged as he bowed to them. "We don't mean to be secretive but we have no choice! The motto of our company is, 'Mystery', after all! Anyway, we have confidence in your character that you would help us, so please! Show some mercy!"

"Don't do it. No matter what they say, they're dishonest people." Crocus says as Asher turns to them.

"Look, we should mention that our Log Pose is broken, and we don't have another one, so you still want to ride with us?"

"What?! You broke it?! That was mine!" An angry Mr. 9 yelled as Miss Wednesday fumed.

"How dare you act stuck up just because we're being humble?! You guys can't go anywhere either!"

"Oh, but actually, we have one that Crocus gave us," Nami says with a sly tone as the villainous trio instantly goes back to begging them again.

"You can ride with us," Luffy stated bluntly as everyone turned to him in surprise while Mr. Broccoli Day...well, he-

"THANK YOU!" An extremely happy Mr. Broccoli Day exclaimed while having two huge streams of tears gushing out of his eyes as everyone, sans Vivi and Mr. 9 was left stunned by this.

"You're welcome. Anyway, did you say Whiskey Peak is your home? Let's go there then."

"Captain, why are we troubling ourselves to take these shady people with us?" Jack asked as Luffy shrugged casually.

"It's fine. Don't sweat the small stuff."

"But you can only choose the route here, the starting point," Crocus warned as Luffy grinned.

"If we don't like it, then we go around one more time," Luffy says as Crocus grinned amusedly and nodded. "Alright, let's get going. Now that I've made a promise with Laboon, let's head out to sail."

"Who are you?!" A shocked Miss Wednesday asked as Luffy smirked.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who will become King of the Pirates," Luffy says, shocking the villainous trio with what he said as Nami steps forward.

"Luffy, can I please shrink our special 'guests' and carry them around in a cage?" Nami asked while reaching behind her to pull out a tiny purple cage as Luffy nodded.

"Yosh, do that."

"What?!" Miss Wednesday, Mr. 9, and Mr. Broccoli Day asked panickedly as a grinning Nami stepped forward with a menacing aura covering her body as they screamed fearfully, and we then fast forward in time as we see the Straw Hat Pirates and their 'passengers', (Who were now 2-inches-tall and stuck inside of the purple cage dejectedly and somberly as Vivi hugged Mr. Broccoli Day close to her chest, causing him to blush heavily and get knocked out) making their way over to the Going Merry while saying their goodbyes to their new friends as they all then sailed off with Laboon howling at them goodbye as Crocus smirked cockily.

"I wonder if they're the pirates that we've been waiting for all this time. That Young Pirate has such an uncanny air about him. Don't you think, Roger?"

"Do you think Anya will be mad at us for leaving her with Crocus?" Asher asked Nami, who sighed heavily and was about to say something, but then the lovebirds flinched in surprise as Anya appeared before them.

"Hi, Chi Chi! Hi, Mama!"

"Oh, crapbaskets..."

~[Post Credit Scene]~

After fast forwarding in time, we see all of the Straw Hat Pirates sleeping in their respective rooms with Asher and Nami sleeping in Nami's room while Apis and Anya sleep in their shared bed placed next to them as the orange-haired woman had a dream about a couple of people being taken away by some kind of menacing force while also seeing a bunch of Dragons flying around as well as one of the people screaming, 'HILDA!', causing her to wake up from her dream in a cold sweat and panted heavily as tears ran down her eyes, confusing her as Nami reached up to wipe them away and wondered what that nightmare could mean.

And done. I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one. Also, to keep track of the crew members, here are all of the current members of the Straw Hat Pirates and what role they play in the crew:
