Despite the strange wailing sound, the three Kuja Pirates made their way deep into the jungle. All but determined to find the peculiar ruins that resided within the Great Ape Mountain and the deed itself. Whatever danger that may lie ahead was of no concern to the three. No compared to the phantom they knew they would face from the Empress of the Amazon Lily. Being the next meal of a Lion would be considered merciful compared to the wraith of Boa Hancock.
Marguerite, Aphelandra, and Sweet Pea slowly emerged from the jungle foliage. They stood atop a high hill overlooking the great Ape Mountain. The three looked on in awe and fear.
I said in awe!
The three Kuja Pirates were quick to change their reactions. Their once fearful reaction changed to awe and wonder at the sight of Ape Mountain.
Thats better.
"Wow, so that's why they call it Ape Mountain. It looks like a Gorilla," Aphelandra said.
"Hey, yeah. But how are we supposed to find it through all that jungle?" Sweat Pea asked.
"Don't worry. I have just the thing," Marguerite said.
Marguerite reached back and pulled out what looked to be an old rolled-up map. She rolled it open, revealing the island of the Bakuvvu. One of the few that were ever made of the island of Bakuvvu by the only Pirates who ever stepped foot on the island and came back.
"Is that a map?" Sweat Pea asked.
"That's right. By the only Pirate that ever stepped foot on the island before us," Marguerite insisted.
"How did you get it?" Aphelander asked.
"The Empress gave it to me before we left. She said that she persuaded the Pirate to give it to her," Marguerite insisted to them.
The word persuaded suddenly brought the thought of the Amazonian Empress turning Pirate to stone and taking the map. Marguerite stared down at the trail on the map—the one the pirate used to find the ruins, where the deed to the island was being held. It was there, beneath the Ape's face atop the mountain,
"What does the map say, Marguerite?" Aphelandra asked.
"The map shows the ruins below the Ape's head," Marguerite insisted, pointing down at the ruins beneath the ape's head.
The Kuja Pirates shifted their gazes up at Ape Mountain—where the Ruins were on the map. It was undoubtedly concealed by the lush, thick jungle that covered the mountain.
"Looks like we go that way," she insisted.
Unannounced to the Kuja Pirates, Robin's trusty Majordomo flew overhead before spotting the intruders below. With a sudden gawk, Tookie quickly turned and flew off to find the Jungle Queen.
Meanwhile, in a far part of the Jungle, The Jungle Queen was relaxing over a soft grass bed with her trusty elephant, Shep, who was napping above her. Robin let out a soothing moan with her arms lying above her head. She felt both relaxed over the smooth blades of grass and aroused from having Shep satisfy her sexual needs. Even now, her womanhood still felt so wet beneath her leopard skin cloth.
Robin shifted down her aroused glance, tilting her head to her right as she moaned.
"That was Amazing. I never felt this good before," She said.
She then heard Shep's trumpet behind her. He slithered his trunk down to the side of Robin's face, which caused her to smirk.
"Your trunk is so big, Shep. And it feels big, too," Robin said, caressing the elephant's long trunk.
Shep nodded his head as he uttered a groan. He then proceeded to grope Robin's left breast, which he proceeded to bounce. Robin gave another aroused moan, leaning back her head. She loved whenever Shep or the animals would play with her breasts. They were their favorite part of her body, and the apes often loved bouncing them in their hands. She also liked to play with them whenever she bathed beneath the waterfall.
"Shep," Robin chuckled.
Shep uttered a groan, continuing to caress Robin's breasts with this trunk—his big, long, grey trunk, which slithered its way between Robins's large, heavy coconuts. Robin leaned back her head, groaning.
"You a Naughty Elephant, aren't you?" She said.
The Jungle Queen suddenly heard the squeaking of Tookie above. Robin looked up to see her Majordomo flying out of the Jungle. Robin leaned up over the bed of grass, glancing up at Tookie.
"Tookie, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Tookie, Tookie!" The Majordomo exclaimed urgently.
"Intruders? In the Jungle?" Robin asked.
Tookie continued squeaking, turning back to point in the direction he had come.
"They are heading to Ape Mountain?" Robin asked.
Tookie nodded his head to her.
"Right, I'll go see what's going on, " she said before rushing to investigate.
Meanwhile, the Bakuvvu's inhabitants were becoming agitated by the three intruders. The Kuja Pirates continued digging deeper into Robin's jungle kingdom. With the Pirate's map serving as their only guide through the island's dense jungle, the three Amazonas made their way toward the Great Ape Mountain, to the Ruins which resided there and held its greatest Treasure. The Gorillas urgently sent a message to Robin through bongos.
The Kuja Pirates heard Bongos coming from somewhere in the jungle. Marguerite lifted her curious glance from the map she had once followed, distracted by these strange native-sounding drumming. Atop some strange wailing, the drumming sound was now signifying that they were not alone on this island. But that couldn't be right. There was not supposed to be anyone else on the island.
"Do you hear that? It sounds like Drumming?" Aphelander asked.
"I'm starting to get the feeling that we aren't the only ones on the island," Sweat Pea insisted.
It was an unnerving thought to know they may not be alone. Not that they couldn't handle it, for an Amazonian was a fierce warrior who could conquer all enemies they faced. However, if there were indeed others on this island, they would no doubt be as formidable as they were to survive on this island.
"We should keep moving. Whatever it is, we shouldn't stick around to find out," Marguerite insisted.
Despite the drumming sounds, Marquerite narrowed her gaze at the map as he continued through the Jungle. Sweat Pea and Aphelander followed reluctantly after her, unable to shake the thought they were being followed. After trudging through the thick, dense jungle, they soon emerged to the deep gorge, where a single old bridge led across to the other side.
Marguerite glanced up at the Bridge and back down at the map. The Bridge hardly resembled the one she had seen on the map. They both looked like rope bridges, but the ones they saw looked old and rickety. Some of the boards even looked to be handing off the ropes. The rest of the wooden boards would undoubtedly be old and give in after only one step.
"Are we crossing on that?" Aphelander asked, gesturing at the old bridge.
"It looks like the one on the map, and it said it was the only way across," Marguerite insisted.
The three gazed back up at the Bridge with that very unnerving realization and the sudden realization of what would happen if they dared cross. From the possibility of one of the boards giving in, the ropes shaping, and the Bridge falling into the bottomless gorge below. They gulped nervously at the many options of doom.
"I got a bad feeling about this," Sweat Pea said.
Aphelander nodded her head in agreement.
"Come on, I'll go first," Marguerite said.
Marguerite put away the map as she approached the Bridge, to the dismay of both Aphelander and Sweat Peas. She slowly stepped atop the first board of the Bridge, only to find the board held beneath her foot with a tiny creak. Marguerite sighed in relief. She then turned back to Aphelander and Sweat Pea.
"It's stable. Come on, let's go," She said.
With that, the three Amazonians crossed the bridge. Glancing up at Ape Moutain itself, now so close to the Great Mountain looming over them from the other side.
Robin could hear the Gorilla's urgent drumming sound from the distance. Standing atop the tree branch, the Jungle Queen heard the bongo drumming. She listened carefully, taking note of how loud each beat was. Usually, a beat as rhythmic as that meant danger within the jungle. But this time, it was coming from Ape Mountain.
"Hmm, trouble at Ape Mountain? The intruders must be there," Robin proclaimed to herself.
If so, that meant they must be going to the old ruins. No doubt some Pirates were looking for some treasure. However, they would not find much treasure there in the ruins. Regardless, she should discover these intruders and ensure they aren't here to cause trouble in her jungle. Robin grabbed the nearest vines and proceeded to swing ahead through the Jungle, uttering her Tarzan-like call, which eased the minds of her loyal subjects.
