___________________________________
The Merry could be seen peacefully sailing through the seas of the Grand Line
Luffy: I wonder if it's gonna snow
anymore.
Zephyr: It'd be fun, I quite like the cold.....Good memories. What do you think, Vivi?
Vivi: It could snow, but the sea we were in first is special since the seven magnetic forces from Reverse Mountain mess everything up. That doesn't mean you can relax your attention here, though. It'd be rare for this sea to be wild like the first journey, but it's still true that this sea is a lot more difficult than ordinary ones. Never underestimate this sea. That's the ironclad rule.
Sanji walked to the deck with
some drinks.
Sanji: Hey guys! Wanna have my special drink?
Zephyr: Sure.
Luffy: Yeah!
Everyone took a drink and started relaxing, completely ignoring what Vivi had previously said.
Vivi: Is this really okay?!
Nami walked up to Vivi with a drink.
Nami: Here, this is for you.
Vivi: Huh?
Nami: I think it's fine. They'll Work hard if it storms since they don't want to die.
Vivi: That's true, but it makes me feel like I'm worked up over nothing.
Nami: This ship makes you feel like you don't have to worry about anything, right?
Vivi glanced at the guys having fun on the deck with Karoo.
Vivi: *Smiles* Yes, it's a lot easier this way
Sanji: Hey, everyone, look! It's a dolphin!
Nami: Whoa! He's cute!
Zephyr: I hope it's a big version! I wanna see it!
Zephyr: Wooo! It's the big one!
Straw Hats: IT"S HUGE!!!
Zephyr: That's what she said.
Luffy: Let's get out of here!
Straw Hats: Yeah!
Time Skip
After escaping the giant dolphin, they sailed for a while until they approached an Island.
Luffy: Whoa!
Zephyr: Nami, is that it?
Nami: There's no mistake. That Island and Cactus Island are pulling against each other. Our next stop is that Island.
Luffy: So that's the one! Our second Island in the Grand Line!
Zoro: What's "little" about it?!
Nami: This place doesn't quite fit its cute name
Usopp: Ahh, it's like a terra incognita It's a thick jungle!
Vivi: We have to be careful. I'm worried about what Miss All Sunday was saying
Usopp: *Scared* A-A-Are you saying a monster may appear?!
Luffy: Who knows?
Usopp: Let's go to our next destination without going ashore on this one!
Zephyr: Usopp! Where is your sense of adventure?! Don't you want to explore?
Usopp: No thanks, I choose life!!!
Nami: Usopp, the Log can't be stored so quickly.
Sanji: Also, we have to stock up on food soon. We didn't get anything in the last town we were in.
Zephyr: Besides, wasn't your dream to become a brave warrior? This is a good step for that ya know, plus Like I said last time, I got your back.
Usopp: *Crys* Thank you Zephyr!!!
Zoro: There's a river mouth there.
Nami: What? Really?
They used the river mouth and entered deep into the jungle
Luffy: I hope there's a BBQ restaurant in here.
Sanji: As if there'd be one!
Luffy: But you said we were going to stock up on food.
Sanji: We'll collect food to cook later! Geez, what are you thinking?
Nami: But it's dangerous to go ashore. Just take a look at the plants here to start with. I've never seen anything like them, even in encyclopedias
Suddenly, there was a loud screech
Nami: Ahh!
Sanji: How cute~!
Usopp: You mean me?
Zephyr: Or me?
Sanji: Obviously I meant Nami-san! Well, Zephyr too? I don't know! Shut up!
Zephyr: I'm too handsome I know.
Nami: What was it I just heard?
Sanji: It's all right. It's just a bird. And this is just a jungle. Don't worry.
Sanji then barely dodge the slash of some kind of bird.
Sanji: What was that for, you damn bird?!
Zephyr: It doesn't like your face.
Sanji: What was that?!
Zephyr sticks her tongue out at Sanji and hides behind Nami.
Luffy: A lizard, I wonder if it tastes good.
A loud explosion was heard.
Nami: Is that the kind of noise you hear from just any jungle?
Usopp: That sounded like a volcano erupted!
They heard some noises coming from a bush, and a tiger that was nearly half the size of Merry popped out and started walking next to the ship.
Nami: A tiger?!
Usopp: It's huge!
All of a sudden, the tiger spat out some blood and fell to the floor.
Nami: What?! What happened?! This isn't normal! This is definitely not normal! Why does a tiger, king of the jungle, fall covered in blood?!
Zephyr: Maybe because he heard of my reputation and felt my powerful aura as the Strongest In The Universe, and just couldn't handle it *peace sign*
Nami: That was definitely not it, idiot!
Zephyr: Aw man, my old reputation is gone, also I thought lions are the king of the jungle, not tigers?
Nami: What are you talking about? Tigers are the king of the jungle.
Zephyr: You guys don't have lions as the king of the jungle?
Nami: And you do?
Zephyr: ...Huh.
Usopp: Ah! It's decided that we're not gonna go ashore on this Island!
Nami: We'll quietly wait on the ship until the Log is stored.
Usopp: Right!
Nami: ...Leave this Island as soon as possible.
Usopp: Right!
Nami: W-We have to go to Alabasta quickly.
Usopp: Right!
They decided to stop somewhere, and Zoro dropped the anchor. Luffy could be seen shaking with excitement.
Luffy: Sanji! Make lunch for me!
Sanji: Lunch?
Luffy: Yeah! For replenishing energy! A "Pirate lunch" with lots of meat and no vegetables! I can smell adventure in the air!
Zephyr: Heck yeah! You get it!
Nami: W-Wait a sec! Where are you going?!
Luffy: Adventure! Wanna come along? Adventure!
Zephyr: Yeah come with us!
Nami: *Comically crying* It's
useless. I can't stop them. They're too enthusiastic.
Luffy: Sanji! Make lunch for us!
Sanji: Okay. Hold on a bit.
Vivi: Say, can I come with you?
Usopp: What?!
Luffy: Sure!
Zephyr: Come with us, Vivi!
Nami: Not you too!
Vivi: Yeah, if I just sit around here, I may start thinking about all sorts of things. I'll go out to take my mind off things until the Log is stored.
Nami: No way! It may be okay for Luffy and Zephyr, but it's too dangerous for you!
Vivi: I'll be fine since Karoo will be with me.
Karoo suddenly started shaking in fear.
Nami: He's too shocked to say a word, though.
Zephyr: I'll protect her then. *Smiles at Vivi*
Nami: *Sighs* Fine! You better protect her ya hear?!
Zephyr: Hai hai Miss Navigator.
Nami blushed a bit because of the nickname but she quickly brush it off.
Nami: Good!
Sanji: Then, I'll make a lunch of love for Vivi-chan.
Vivi: Could you prepare something to drink for Karoo?
Sanji: Of course! Please leave it to me!
Mini Time Skip
They all had backpacks and were ready to go explore.
Sanji: Now you're all set. Three Pirate lunches and a special drink for Karoo.
Luffy: Okay!
Zephyr, Luffy and Vivi jumped off the Merry as Zephyr casually caught Vivi.
Zephyr: I got you, Vivi.
Vivi: Th-Thanks.
Zephyr: No problem. *Smiles and puts her down*
Vivi: Well, then. See you later!
They started heading into the jungle.
Luffy: All right! Let's go!
Zephyr: Yeah!
Vivi: We'll be back in a little while!
While running through the jungle, Luffy and Zephyr stopped next to a small lake.
Vivi: What's the matter?
Luffy: Here, look at this There's a shellfish like a squid.
Luffy picked up the creature and showed it to Vivi and Zephyr.
Zephyr: Oh neat.
Vivi: It looks a lot like the ammonite
Luffy: It's a squid shellfish, right?
The trio heard some loud steps that shook the ground and decided to go look for the source. When they followed the noise, they saw a big creature with a long neck.
Luffy: Oh? Why is there a Sea King on the land?
Vivi: A dinosaur!
Luffy: A dinosaur?
Zephyr: Woahhh it's a dinosaur.
Vivi: Then, this is an ancient Island!
Luffy: Huh?
Vivi: The land here is stuck in the time of the dinosaurs!
Zephyr: Hmm?
Vivi: Since there were no exchanges among Islands in the Grand Line due to the difficulties with sea travel, each one established its unique culture. There are Islands that have an extremely sophisticated culture and there are some others that remain in the same form without progressing for several thousand or tens of thousands of years. The random climate in the Grand Line makes it possible. That's why this Island exists in dinosaur time.
Luffy suddenly stretched his
arms and launched himself onto the dinosaur's neck.
Luffy: Amazing
Zephyr: Hey! Luffy be careful!
Zephyr jumped towards the dinosaur's neck.
Vivi: Luffy! Zephyr! DON'T JUMP ON IT!
Luffy and Zephyr climbed all the way to the dinosaur's head.
Zephyr: I always love the view from up high, it's peaceful flying around.
Luffy: I wanna have lunch here.
Vivi: This isn't the time for idle chatter!
Luffy: Oh? So there really are volcanoes. And there's a mountain with huge holes as well
Vivi: It's dangerous! Come down already! Even if it's well-behaved it's still a dinosaur!
Zephyr: Don't worry! This guy's no trouble!
Luffy: More importantly, there are huge holes over there! That's one weird landscape!!
Vivi: Forget about the landscape! Just come down!
Luffy got close to the dinosaur's eye.
Luffy: Say, I have a favor to ask. Will you take us over there?
The dinosaur ignored Luffy and kept on eating some plants.
Luffy: Hey, stop being so mean and take me there. Over that way! That way!
Luffy grabbed the dinosaur and turned its head to the right, causing the dinosaur to roar loudly.
Luffy: Oh, sorry, but, um...
Several other dinosaurs appeared at the scene.
Luffy: WHOA!!! AMAZING!!!!
Vivi: Luffy-san! Zephyr-san! As I said, it's dangerous! Come down already!
Zephyr: Luffy! Those dinosaurs are taller, so it looks like we'll have a better view.
Vivi: That's not the point!!!
Zephyr and Luffy moved to one of the taller dinosaurs.
Luffy: As I thought, I can see the holes better.
From behind them, one of the dinosaurs tried eating them. But they dodged the bite. Then, a group of dinosaurs tried eating Luffy and Zephyr, but they just kept on dodging and jumping from head to head. They were having a blast.
Luffy: Whoo!!
Zephyr: Weee! Vivi! Wanna come over here? It's fun!
Zephyr and Luffy then headed towards the tallest of the dinos. Which was one that was full of scars.
Zephyr: You can see everything from up here.
While watching the view, the
dinosaur that they were standing on, launched them upwards and made them fall into its mouth.
Vivi: They've been eaten!!!
Inside the mouth.
Luffy: Huh? Where are we?
Zephyr: I think we got eaten.
The dinosaur used its tongue to send the duo down its throat.
Zephyr: Aw man! I didn't come this far to be breakfast!
Suddenly, the dinosaur's neck was slashed, allowing Luffy and Zephyr to fall back outside, onto a giant hand that caught them. The one who had slashed the dinosaur was revealed to be a Giant.
???: Gyagyagyagya! I was watching. What a lively human duo, playing around with the long necks in this jungle. You're the first guest in a long time.
Luffy: You're huge! Are you a human?
Dorry: You're asking me if I'm a human? Gyagyagya! I'm Dorry, Elbaf's strongest warrior!
Luffy: I'm Luffy. I'm a Pirate
Zephyr: I'm Zephyr. A traveller.
Dorry: Gyagyagya! A Pirate? And a traveller? Good for you!
Luffy: Oh yeah, *Points to Vivi* the ones over there are Vivi and Karoo. Nice to meet you!
Dorry: Gyagya! I'll invite you guys to my home!
Dorry brought them to his home, and they were all eating together and laughing.
Luffy: This is yummy, Giant old guy!
Zephyr: It has been a while since I have eaten dinosaur meat.
Dorry: Your Pirate lunch thing tastes good, too, although it's a little too small for me.
Luffy: Of course it's good. That's a special lunch the chef on my Pirate ship made. If you say it's bad, I'll beat you up!
Zephyr: That sounds like something Roger used to say.....
Dorry: Gyagya! Beat me up, you said? Gyagyagya! What a funny squirt you are!
Zephyr: By the way, why are you living here alone? Isn't there a village or something?
Dorry: Hmm? There is a village. It's a warriors' village called Elbaf. It's somewhere in the Grand Line. But there are rules in the village. For example, if we start a fight in the village and both sides can't back off, we are judged by Elbaf's god. Elbaf's god always gives divine protection to the righteous one and lets the righteous one survive.
Zephyr: So, Elbaf's god, huh?
Dorry: I caused a disturbance, and this island is currently the site for a duel between a certain man and myself. The righteous one will win the duel and survive. Gyagya! But we haven't been able to settle this for about 100 years
Luffy/Vivi: 100 YEARS?!
Zephyr: Ah Giants, they love to fight for years.
Dorry: It's nothing surprising since our life span is at least three times as long as yours.
Vivi: Even if it's three times, your interest in fighting would wane in 100 years, wouldn't it? Is there any point in continuing to fight? It's a duel to the death, right?!
A volcano that was nearby
suddenly erupted.
Luffy: Whoa! That's a huge volcano eruption!
Dorry: Well, time to go...
Zephyr: Go?
Zephyr glanced at Dorry's eyes and understood what that look meant.
Zephyr: Of course....Giants.
Dorry: It became our routine before we realized it. The eruption of the central mountain is the signal for the duel.
Vivi: What?! To have such hatred that you'd try killing each other for 100 years is...What on earth caused this fight?!
Luffy: Stop it. It's not like that.
Zephyr: Giants have a strong sense of pride.
Dorry: Right, It's because of our pride. I forgot the reason a long time ago!
Dorry started running towards a direction and started his fight against another Giant.
The two giants clashed, causing a shockwave through the whole Island. Luffy and Zephyr were surprised, and Luffy fell backwards.
Vivi: What? Wh-What's wrong?
Luffy: Oh, boy. What a huge duel!
Time Skip
The fight ended on the Giants' 73,466 draw. Dorry later came back with some drinks that the other giant gave him.
Dorry: I see. His guest are your friends, huh? I saw a man with a long nose and a woman.
Zephyr: Oh, that must be Usopp and Nami.
Luffy: Hah! They said they wouldn't get off the ship, but they really do like adventures after all!
Dorry: Then you could also say that I got this alcohol from you.
Zephyr: Wait what alcohol?
Vivi: By the way, Dorry-san, does it really take a year for the Log to be stored?
Dorry: Didn't you notice the human skulls lying around? Those who come to this island die before the Log is stored in most cases. Some become dinosaurs' food. Some suffer from heat and starvation. Some others are killed because they attack us. They all die...
Zephyr: Oh. I thought those skulls were just decorations that were lying around...
Dorry: It seems that one year on this island is too long for humans.
Vivi: What're we gonna do? Even if we could survive for a year, if that much time passes, I don't know what will happen to my country by then.
Luffy: Yeah. I'd get bored, too, if we were to stay here for a year. Isn't there a way, old guy?
Dorry: We do have an Eternal pose. but it's to our hometown, Elbaf. In other words, we're fighting for this Eternal pose. Do you wanna try it taking by force?
Zephyr: Nah. That's not where we wanna go. We're looking to go to the next Island, right?
Vivi: Yes...If we lose the route to Alabasta, there's no point in moving forward.
Zephyr: See?
Dorry: Then why don't you just keep on moving forward? If you're lucky, you'll get there
Zephyr: Well it is possible. *Nod nod*
Luffy: *Laughs* Maybe we'll do that! We may actually get there, huh?
Dorry: Gyagya! Come to think of it, there was someone who left before the Log was stored.
Vivi: What happened to him?
Dorry: How should I know?
Luffy: He must've gotten to the next island. Hahahah!
Dorry: That must be it! Gyagya!
Zephyr: We sure did leave this place without a Log Pose.....Well, I was passed out after fighting Brogy....Hehe.
Dorry and Luffy were laughing, meanwhile, Zephyr was stifling her laugh, since she noticed Vivi glaring at them. Dorry went to take a sip from the drink, when it suddenly exploded, surprising them all. Dorry fell backwards, with his mouth smoking from the explosion.
Luffy/Zephyr: Giant old guy!/ Dorry!
Luffy: What's going on?! Why did the alcohol explode?! That was the alcohol we had on our ship, right?!
Vivi: It exploded in his stomach! His opponent must've laid the explosive!
Luffy jumped towards Vivi.
Luffy: What the hell were you
watching?! They've been fighting for 100 years! No way they'd do something like this!
Vivi: Then who on earth-
Dorry stood back up, all bruised up.
Dorry: You bastards did... It wasn't Brogy We're proud warriors of Elbaf. Who else besides you should I be suspicious of?
Vivi: Let's get out of here for now! It's probably no use saying anything to him!
Zephyr: It's probably no use even if we run.
Luffy took off his hat and gave it to Zephyr.
Luffy: Hold this and stay back.
Zephyr: Sure, go ahead.
Vivi: Don't tell me! Are you going to fight?
Luffy: *Cracks Knuckles* I feel bad to do this to the old guy, but I'll quiet him down.
Vivi: Both of you, stop! Please!
Vivi tried stopping them but Zephyr just held her back.
Zephyr: It's no use, Vivi. You can't stop a fight between two men.
Luffy and Dorry got into a battle stance.
Dorry: How dare you...do something so insolent?!
Dorry swung his sword towards Luffy, who quickly dodged it and started climbing it but was later slammed down by Dorry's shield. Luffy then stretched towards some trees and used them as support to launch himself towards Dorry's stomach with gomu-gomu rockets through the whole fight, Dorry spat out blood. After receiving Luffy's attack, Dorry used the last of his strengths to step on Luffy, before holding his stomach in pain.
Vivi: Luffy-san!
Dorry: So he has...The powers of a Devil Fruit. I underestimated him.
Dorry fell knocked out to the floor. Zephyr and Vivi walked up to Luffy, Zephyr gave Luffy his hat back.
Zephyr: You have Roger's hat and keeping it safe.....Heh.
Zephyr: You all right?
Luffy: How's the old guy?
Zephyr: He'll be okay.
Vivi: This is actually good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have calmed down.
Zephyr: This is bullshit.
Vivi: Huh?
Zephyr: Like Dorry said, this alcohol explosion isn't the act of the other giant.
Luffy: Yeah, and our friends would never do a stupid trick like this!
Vivi: But then who-
Zephyr: There's someone else, on this Island.
A volcano erupted.
Vivi: That mountain is if I'm not mistaken...
Dorry woke up and started
standing up.
Luffy: Hey! Wait, old guy! Don't go!
Vivi: You can't go, Dorry-san! You need to keep still! You'll die if you push yourself too hard!
Dorry: I, warrior Dorry, am here... At the very least... I will fight to uphold the name of Elbaf!
Dorry walked up to the giant rock behind him, grabbed it and started lifting it.
Vivi: Don't tell me! He's going to throw it?!
Zephyr: Oi! Dorry! Don't you dare throw that at us!
Luffy: Awesome! He picked up that gigantic rock!
Vivi: Zephyr-san! Luffy-san!
Dorry started approaching them, and unexpectedly dropped the rock on top of Luffy and Zephyr. Zephyr started mumbling, while Luffy tried getting out.
Zephyr: This is actually starting to get annoying....
Vivi: Zephyr-san!!!
Luffy: What are you doing, old guy?! Move this rock! Hey!
Dorry: It can't be stopped. It was over a hundred years ago...When we started the battle... But running from a battle you've started... is the same as running from the title of warrior. If I am no longer a warrior. I will no longer be me. I'm sorry I suspected you. This is the judgement given by...Elbaf, the god of war. I didn't have his divine protection. That's all.
Dorry started walking towards the battlefield.
Luffy: Gods and divine protection and all that have nothing to do with this!
Zephyr: If- *Huff* If a god told you to die, would you?! This duel has been interfered with!
Luffy: A duel.
Zephyr: ...that has been interfered with...
Luffy: ISN'T A DUEL ANYMORE!!! ISN'T THAT RIGHT?!
Dorry: Be quiet! You've lived only a mere 10 or 20 years, you wouldn't understand the grand words of Elbaf!
Zephyr: Jokes on you, I'm actually-
Dorry went off.
Luffy: Who gives a crap about that?! Hey! Move this thing! Hey! Old guy! Hey! Dammit! I can't move this!
Vivi: Zephyr-san! Are you all right?!
Zephyr: Don't worry...I'm fine. But my back is killing me right now though. But I'll live!
Luffy punched the ground in
frustration.
Luffy: Just when it seemed like I met an awesome warrior!
Zephyr: I know who did it.....And they just had to come and interfere with the fight!
Vivi: Luffy-san. Zephyr-san.
Luffy: WHO IS IT?! WHO'S PUTTING A DAMPER ON THIS GIANT'S FIGHT?!
Vivi: Come to think of it...Karoo is gone!
Out of nowhere, Usopp popped out of the trees running.
Usopp: LUFFY! ZEPHYR! LUFFY! ZEPHYR! LUFFY! ZEPHYR! LUFFY! ZEPHYR!
Usopp crashed against a rock and fell to the ground. He immediately stood up as if nothing happened, and ran up to Luffy and Zephyr while crying.
Usopp: Terrible news! A dinosaur ate Nami!
Luffy: SERIOUSLY?!
Usopp: We were running through the jungle to get away from it, and suddenly she was gone! Oh! What do I do now?! I let my friend get killed!
Zephyr: I swear I'm going to murder someone.
The two males started panicking.
Vivi: H-Hold on! Calm down, you two! If she suddenly disappeared does that mean you don't know for sure?
Usopp: Are you crazy?! I was too terrified to check and make sure! If it wasn't a dinosaur, it was a wild beast! What else could it have been?!
Vivi: I don't know. But if people from Baroque Works have followed us onto this Island, then it'd make sense that only Nami-san was targeted and not you.
Usopp: EH?! Baroque Works is on the Island?! But...Why wouldn't they go after me?
Vivi: Because you're most likely not on Baroque Work's assassination list.
Usopp: Oh, I see!
Vivi: Plus, that alcohol might've been meant for us, too!
Usopp: Alcohol?! What about alcohol?!
Vivi: Brogy brought your alcohol to Dorry. And when Dorry drank it, it exploded inside his stomach.
Usopp: WHAT?! Alcohol exploded inside his stomach?! You're saying he went to the battlefield all busted up like that?!
Luffy: We tried to stop him, but we wound up like this instead!
Usopp: Wait! Zephyr are you okay?!
Zephyr: I'm fine. Just...Slowly..... Losing.....I'm fine!
Usopp: I-I see. But you can't be serious! Those two fought evenly for 100 years with all their might! It's probably the most pride-filled battle in the entire world!
Luffy: Yeah...
Usopp: They can't settle the fight like this now!
They turned their eyes towards the direction of the battle and saw an amount of blood get launched into the air. Most likely, Droggy's blood. They then felt Droggy's body fall to the ground in defeat. Luffy and Zephyr gritted their teeth. Luffy started smashing his head against the ground multiple times, while Zephyr punched the ground in frustration, to the point that her hands started bleeding.
Usopp: Luffy! Zephyr!
Vivi: Luffy-san?! Zephyr-san?!
Luffy: WHO WAS IT?!
Zephyr: Someone's dying today and it's not going to be us!
Zephyr and Luffy started trying to get out from beneath the rock.
Usopp: Alright, Luffy! Zephyr! I dunno who we're dealing with, but I'll go take care of them myself!
Despite acting brave, Usopp's legs looked like jelly.
Vivi: I'm coming too!
Usopp: Yes! Please come with me! That'd be reassuring!
???: There's no need for that!
They looked at the source of the voice and saw Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, holding Karoo.
Luffy: *Angry* You guys!
Mr. 5 threw the unconscious Karoo towards them.
Mr. 5: You can have him back. We don't need him
Vivi: Karoo!
Usopp: Why, you...Hey, who are they?
Luffy: The guys from the last town!
Vivi: What are you doing here?! Karoo has nothing to do with this!
Mr. 5: That's right. This bird has absolutely nothing to do with this. The only one we considered dangerous was that "Straw Hat man" and the "White-Haired girl."
Zephyr: Where the hell did my reputation go?!
Mr. 5: We were planning to lure you three out by having this bird squawk, but he was too obstinate. But then we saw Straw Hat and the other one already taken out of the picture. So we have no use for that thing anymore
Miss Valentine: *Laughs* What a stupid bird!
Vivi: Why, you...
Usopp: Hey! Are you the one who put a bomb in the alcohol?!
Mr. 5: Yes, that was us. Who are you? Is he on the list?
Miss Valentine: No. He must be their friend. But let's make him disappear too!
Usopp: So you interfered with the giants' duel!
Zephyr: I knew I should have killed you two when I had the chance.....
Luffy: IT WAS THEM?! I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES!
Vivi: You're the ones who are going to disappear!
Vivi pulled out her Peacock Slasher.
Mr. 5: Oh? You're going to try
struggling, Miss Wednesday?
Miss Valentine: Do you stand a chance against us Officer agents?
Vivi and Usopp charged at them.
Vivi: Peackock Slashes!
Usopp: Take this! Special Attack: Exploding Star!
Usopp's attack landed on the
duo but didn't affect them. Miss Valentine jumped into the air, out of the smoke cloud.
Mr. 5: Nose Fance Cannon!
Mr. 5 fired a snot at Usopp, hitting him with an explosion. However, things didn't end there, as Miss Valentine flew on top of Usopp.
Miss Valentine: What a pity!
Luffy: USOPP!
Miss Valentine: 10,000 Kilogram Press!
Zephyr:....If he dies, I'm going to torture you.
Miss Valentine crashed against Usopp. Meanwhile, with Vivi, she kept on trying to attack Mr. 5, but he was able to easily dodge her attacks, flip her, and grab her by the neck.
Zephyr: Vivi!
Mr. 5: There's no need to be so upset We're not going to kill you just yet. We only came to abduct you. On Mr. 3's orders.
Vivi: Mr. 3?! The Wax-Wax Fruit Man?! He's on this island?!
Mr. 5: That's right. He's a "candle man" who controls the wax he secretes from his body.
Luffy: A candle man?!
Zephyr: You...You're gonna pay for this.....
Mr. 5: How noisy...
Mr. 5 picked his nose and pulled out multiple snots, before shooting them all at Zephyr and Luffy, causing them to be hit by multiple explosions.
Vivi: Zephyr-san! Luffy-san!
Mr. 5 passed Vivi to Miss Valentine.
Miss Valentine: *Laughs* Just be a good little girl, Did you honestly think you could escape from Baroque Works? Especially when someone with a 30 million-Berry bounty and no bounty winds up like that?
Zephyr: Excuse me! My bounty is actually-
Mr. 5 walked up to our trapped duo.
Mr. 5: I'm happy I could thank them for what happened at Whisky Peak. You wannabe pirates should never have stuck your noses into such delicate issues as this. We've already captured your swordsman friend and the other girl
Luffy: Y-You caught Zoro? Then you guys are gonna get cut down!
Mr. 5: Oh? You still talk big, even after one of my best Kicky Bombs to the face?
Luffy: You can't hurt me with that!
Zephyr: You can't kill me!
Luffy: We'll kick you guys' asses!
Luffy and Zephyr spit on Mr. 5's shoes.
Miss Valentine: Unbelievable.
Mr. 5 got angry and started kicking Luffy and Zephyr multiple times. With each kick, there was an explosion.
Mr. 5: Die!
After a while, Mr. 5 finished kicking Luffy and Zephyr and started leaving the scene with Miss Valentine and the captured Vivi. Zephyr slightly opened her eyes and saw Vivi calling out to her and Luffy while getting dragged away. Zephyr extended her arm in Vivi's direction.
Zephyr: N-No... Vi..vi.
And finally fell unconscious
Rory: Are you going to keep acting?
Zephyr is in her mind, and there's another smaller version of her. It's her younger self, the one that travelled with the Pirate King.
Zephyr: No.....
Rory: What are you waiting for then? Sister of The King Of Pirates, Blood Stain Rory. Blood Storm Rory.
Zephyr: The Strongest In The Universe....
Rory/Zephyr: The Captain Of Ivory Phoenix!
Small Time Skip
Luffy and Zephyr were still trapped under the rock, but they were waking up. Luffy started weakly talking.
Luffy: U-Usopp...Zephyr...Can you let them get away with this?
Usopp: No...I can't
Zephyr: I refuse...to let them...get away after doing this....
Karoo woke up, walk towards Luffy, and started digging the ground.
Luffy: You can't.....stand this right?
Karoo responded with an
affirmative squawk.
Luffy: *Smiles* Alright! Let's all four of us go beat them senseless! Quickly, Karoo! Help me get out and then help-!
Luffy stopped talking when he, Usopp, and Karoo heard some heavy breathing. They turned towards the source and saw a very angry-looking Zephyr.
Zephyr: I'm going to beat them...No. That's too kind, I'm going to...BREAK THEIR BONES!!!
Zephyr appeared to have
combined with the wind, and small sparks of lightning. Her body started being surrounded by a stronger and more intense blood-red aura than before. Her eyes turned like those of a devil, her hair started getting sparks around them, her hands and feet started turning black, and she slowly started getting up, lifting up the rock that was trapping her and Luffy in the process. Luffy used this opportunity to get out from under the rock and Zephyr destroyed the entire rock into dust.
Usopp: Oi, Zephyr! You o-okay? What was that?
Zephyr: That was a *deep breath* small part of my powers.
Luffy: Let's talk about that later. But now, let's go kick those guys' asses!
They all shouted in agreement and then started running in the same direction that Vivi was taken. Eventually, they reached the place but were running too fast, so they were sent flying some distance before crashing against some trees.
Luffy: Hey you guys! I'm gonna kick your asses, just so you know! Let's do it, Zephyr!
Zephyr: I'm done holding back!
Zephyr: Actually I lied, if I go all out, they'll be dead....
Luffy: Usopp!
Usopp: Yeah!
Luffy: Bird!
Karoo: *Squacks*
Nami: Luffy! Zephyr! Usopp!
Vivi: Karoo!
They started walking up to the Baroque Works Agents, and at the same time noticed that Zoro, Vivi and Nami were stuck on a giant wax candle, slowly being turned into wax figures. They also noticed a new guy.
Usopp: Master Brogy! We've taken on your frustration!
Brogy: Usopp...
Nami: Beat those guys up so much they lose their original forms and send them flying far off somewhere!
Luffy: Yeah! We will!
Zephyr: I'm going to enjoy breaking their bones....
Luffy: These guys spoiled the old guys' duel!
Mr. 3: So you're the one with the highest bounty in the East Blue? My, how Marine Headquarters standards have fallen!
Luffy: Whoa! What a weird guy!
Mr. 3: QUIET, YOU!
Zephyr: He have a number three hair...Be careful of the wax, don't get trapped in it.
Mr. 3: SHUT UP!
Nami: Break this pillar first, Luffy! Zephyr! We're about to turn into wax figures!
Luffy: Oh? You're in trouble?
Zoro: No, there was no problem at all.
Nami: Hey! Your leg!
Zoro: Yeah. I went about halfway through, I'd say.
Zoro's legs were bleeding.
Zephyr: Wait, Were you about to cut your legs?!
Vivi: How is that no problem at all?!
Zoro: For now, could you bust this pillar for us, Luffy? Zephyr? I leave the rest to you two.
Luffy: Alright, no problem! Dunno what that thing is, but let's break that thing!
Usopp: Alright! Got it! I'm a bit of a different person today!
Usopp got on Karoo's back, and everyone got on a battle stance.
Usopp: You guys are too damn annoying! You've gone a bit too far! Give yourselves up! Let's do it!
Zephyr: Usopp! You got a plan?
Usopp and Karoo immediately went back and took shelter behind some trees.
Usopp: Alright! Preparations are complete! We got your back, Zephyr! Luffy!
Zephyr: ...I don't even know how I didn't see that coming.
Luffy turned towards Usopp's direction.
Luffy: Oh? Did you say something?
Zephyr: Oi! Don't get distracted!
Mr. 3: Now you're mine! Candle Lock!
Mr. 3 launched a wave of wax
towards the duo and was able to trap both of them with a mallet on their legs.
Nami: Zephyr!
Zephyr: You must be wondering how could I let myself get caught in wax like that? Well the answer is plot-
Vivi: Luffy-san!
Zoro: Damn. They've already gotten caught?!
Nami: Idiots!
Zephyr: Shut up! This is part of my plan! I need to see how strong the wax is, so I don't accidentally cut them as well...
Luffy: What's this? It's heavy, like a mallet!
Mr. 3: How simple. Now for your hands. Candle Lock!
Mr. 3 launched another wave of wax, but Luffy and Zephyr were able to dodge it. Zephyr freed herself by punching and shattering the mallet. Meanwhile, Luffy jumped onto Brogy's helmet and started spinning.
Zephyr: So that's how strong it is.....Hehehehe.
Luffy: Gum-Gum...Mallet!
Luffy destroyed the pillar and at the same time his mallet. The giant pumpkin's head fell down to the base of the candle. Closer to Zoro, Vivi and Nami.
Luffy: Lucky! The mallet on my legs broke, too! Huh? Huh?! That was dangerous! Why didn't you guys run?
Nami/Vivi: We can't move! Isn't it obvious?!
Luffy: Oh? Really? But you guys told me to break the pillar! Were you lying?
Vivi: Is it really a good idea to put our lives in his hand, Mr Bushido?!
Zoro: Relax. We've still got Zephyr.
Zephyr: Don't worry guys I'm-!
....
Not rescuing you.
Zoro/Nami/Vivi: WHAT?! WHY THE HELL NOT?!
Nami: We're going to die if you don't do something!
While all of this was happening Luffy started fighting Mr. 3, and Usopp and Karoo started getting chased by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.
Zephyr: I know that. But, I don't feel motivated to rescue you guys....*Deep breaths*
Nami: Luffy! Help us!
However, after knocking down Mr. 3, Luffy found himself in the same situation as Zephyr.
Luffy: Nah. For some reason, I just can't get motivated.
Zoro/Nami/Vivi: THIS ISN'T A
MOTIVATION PROBLEM!
Vivi: Wait, look at that!
Vivi pointed towards the black symbols that Zephyr and Luffy were standing on.
Vivi: Miss Golden Week! This is your doing!
Miss Golden Week: Color Trap: Betrayal Black. Touch the black paint, and you'll betray your friends, no matter what they say.
Nami: What does she mean?! What happened?! Explain!
Vivi: She's a "realist painter" who can even create real colours of emotion! Her refined sense of colour can manipulate people's minds through the use of her paints.
Zoro: Manipulate?! That's not good! Those simpleminded idiots are already easy enough to manipulate.
Zephyr: I feel like I should be angry, but I don't have the motivation to be
Nami: Then doesn't that mean they just need to get away from that paint? Zephyr! Luffy! Get away from there!
Vivi: No, don't! Zephyr-san! Luffy-san! Whatever you do, do not move from that black circle! I'm begging you! We don't want you to save us at all!
Luffy/Zephyr: ...No.
Luffy and Zephyr stepped out of the symbol.
Luffy: Huh? I-I was kind of weird just now!
Zephyr: Getting mind controlled is not fun!
Vivi: Luffy-san! Zephyr-san! Hurry!
Luffy: Alright! I'll save you right now!
Zephyr: Yeah!
Luffy and Zephyr were about to attack the pillar, but Luffy started laughing, while Zephyr started crying.
Luffy: Never mind you guys! I just wanna laugh! НАНАНАНАНАНАНА!
Zephyr: How dare you laugh?! You should be cry-..cry-.WAAAAA
Miss Golden Week: Color Trap: Laughter Yellow. And Despair Blue You know you're not supposed to move.
Luffy had a yellow symbol on his back, while Zephyr had a blue one. I'm blue da ba dee
Nami: Now it's on their clothes! Luffy! Zephyr! Hurry and take off those clothes!
Zephyr: WAAAAAA... B-But I love this hoodie! WAAAAAAAA...Why do you want to take off some of the few things that bring me happiness?
Luffy: Never mind that! I just feel like laughing! HAHAHAHHAHA!
Zoro: Not good.
At one point Usopp and Karoo popped out of the forest, running away from Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine that was chasing them.
Zoro: Did you guys come here to play?!
Usopp and Karoo accidentally ran into Luffy and Zephyr. They were able to go back to normal.
Vivi: Look! When Usopp ran into them, the paint on their back smudged!
Luffy: Whew, Did I wind up doing something again?
Zephyr: *Points to Miss Golden Week* It was you weren't?! Knock it off! Don't think I won't punch you just because you're a little girl!
Luffy: Anyways, we gotta break that pumpkin!
Zephyr: Yeah!
Luffy: Gum-Gum-!
Miss Golden Week: Color Trap: Bullfight Red.
A new red symbol had now appeared, although this time, it was on Zephyr's abdomen.
Luffy: Bazooka!
Luffy launched his attack at Zephyr and sent her flying towards some trees.
Zephyr: That tickles.
Zoro: Where are you aiming?!
Miss Golden Week: You're not allowed to break it! You'll make Mr. 3 angry!
Zephyr: Well fuck him! I don't give a shit!
Luffy: Sorry! But *Points at red
symbol* what the heck is that?!
Miss Golden Week: Just as bull rush at red capes, you feel the urge to attack that Bullfight Red Mark. Too bad.
Luffy: AAH! I can't stand you
anymore! Get out of here! Gum-Gum Bazooka!
Zephyr: Wait! Wait! Wait! I don't like getting launched!!!
Luffy's attack hit Zephyr once more, but this time she was sent crashing against the giant candle, cracking it, but not breaking it. Zephyr fell to the ground.
Zephyr: Still tickles!
Zoro: Zephyr, you alright?
Zephyr: Yeah. Don't worry.
Nami: Zephyr! Watch out!
Miss Golden Week quickly went close to Zephyr and drew a symbol on her back.
Miss Golden Week: Colors Traps: Tranquil Green
Zephyr: N-No!.. Ah, such nice tea.
Zephyr, Luffy, and Miss Golden Week were now sitting on a picnic blanket, drinking tea and eating rice crackers.
Vivi/Nami/Zoro: You idiots!
Despite looking calm, Luffy and Zephyr were fighting with all of their wills to free themselves from Miss Golden Week's paint mind powers. However, it was already too late, and Zoro, Vivi and Nami were already fully turned into wax figures. At one point Usopp and Karoo ran out of the jungle once more, this time having lost Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, and they saw their friends had turned into wax figures, while Luffy and Zephyr were having tea.
Usopp: Luffy! Zephyr! What are you doing, you idiots?!
Zephyr/Luffy: *Struggling to get free* Such...nice...tea!
Usopp noticed the symbol on their backs.
Usopp: Special Attack: Exploding Star!
Mr. 5 shot multiple gunshots at Usopp, but Usopp didn't see any bullets get fired by the gun. Luffy's vest and Zephyr's hoodie were now on fire and burning.
Miss Valentine: *Laughs* What an
idiot! He missed his target and hit his own friends!
Zephyr: *Put out the fire* I am.... Pissed.
Usopp: Where'd his bullets go?!
Mr. 5: Breeze Breath Bomb!
Usopp and Karoo suddenly received an explosion.
Mr. 5: I forgot to mention it, but my
breath explodes.
Usopp: H-Hey! You come to your
senses?!
Luffy: Yeah. I'm awake! Thanks!
Zephyr: *Look at the others*
Luffy is now shirtless and a bit burned.
Miss Valentine: That attack was meant to burn their clothes and the trap on it to undo the mental manipulation!
Zephyr: Hey kid, tell me something. Have you ever killed anyone?
Miss Golden Week:.....No.
Zephyr chuckles and nods.
Zephyr: I see.....Then you will do. Sit out of this now.
Zephyr put her hood down and the same blood-red aura surrounded her, she quickly blast Miss Golden Week away somewhere.
Miss Valentine: You're too late!
Mr. 5: Just look at your friends now!
Zephyr: They're still alive.
Mr. 5: Are they now? Just look at them! You're too late White-Haired.
Mr. 3: That's right! You're not only late, but now you can experience even more despair!
Zephyr: My name is Zephyr... The Strongest In The Universe!
Mr. 3 walked out of the trees, wearing wax armour.
Mr. 3: Candle Champion! Like this, I am invisible! This armour is hard as iron, and wrapped around me like velvet! My form now has no flaws!
Zephyr started laughing, they thought Miss Golden Week is back, but this is a different kind of laughing..... It's the kind you hear before your demise.
Zephyr: No flaws? Like iron? Heh heh hehehe! Don't make me laugh, after all.....You Are Weak.
Zephyr's aura gets dangerous red and sparks appear even more now, her skin is covered in something that looks like black steel.....Haki.
Zephyr: I won't play around anymore, we have a kingdom to save!
Mr. 5, Mr. 3 and Miss Valentine all attempts to attack Zephyr together, but Zephyr dodges all three of their attacks and quickly take a deep breath.
Zephyr: Wind Dragon's Roar!!
Zephyr's roar hit all three of the Baroque Works agents, knocking them away somewhere, but she "accidentally" hit Luffy too.
Usopp: WHAT?! LUFFY!
Zephyr: Ah shit...Oh well! He'll be fine.....I think? Eh oh well at least now we're done, now let's go break the others out. *Walk to Nami, Vivi, and Zoro* Sorry I'm late. Wind Dragon Blades.
Zephyr uses the wind to cut them free, but she accidentally also cut off Nami's shirt, leaving her with a bra and her shorts. (It was not an accident)
Zephyr: Oops?
Nami: That was cold! Couldn't you have done it a different way?
Zephyr: Nami! Vivi! You're okay! Wait, where's Zoro?
Usopp: Don't be fussy! Just be thankful you were saved!
Nami: And what's with the sparks It's the first time I've seen something like this.
Zephyr: Yeah, that was thanks to me.
Nami: What's up with your body?!
Zephyr: Oh....Oops forgot to turn it off *Turn off Haki*
Usopp: You can do that the entire time?!
Zephyr: No?
Nami/Usopp: Liar!!
Zephyr rub her neck and laugh nervously.
Zephyr: Don't be so mad, we're alive so it's fine! Right, Vivi?
Vivi: This doesn't seem real. We're alive....
Zephyr: See I told you that I will protect you!
Zephyr smiles at her. Vivi blushes and hugs her.
Vivi: Thank you, Zephyr-san!
Zephyr: Anytime, Vivi.
Zoro: Yo. Good to see you're alive.
Zephyr: That's what we should say!
Luffy suddenly popped out of the
jungle.
Luffy: Yo guys! What happened?
Zephyr: I guess I hit him too hard...He forgot what happened.
Brogy: Dorry...Dorry...WAAAAA!!!
DORRY!
Brogy went next to Dorry's body,
and started crying.
Luffy: Whoa! Look behind him!
Zephyr: A rainbow! There's a rainbow! Vivi look! Look look!
Vivi: I see it Zephyr-san.
Nami: Even the way he cries is big!
Zoro: It's practically a waterfall.
Usopp: *Crying* I know how you feel Master Brogy!
Brogy kept on crying, until Dorry
suddenly woke up.
Brogy: Dorry! How are you...
Dorry: It seems I blacked out...Its
probably because of the weapons.
Usopp: Weapons? Oh, yeah! Not even Elbaf weapons could keep up with two giants fighting to the death for 100 years straight! Talk about crazy. It's a huge miracle!
Brogy hugged Dorry.
Dorry: Hey, Brogy! Don't hold on to
me! That hurts my wounds!
Brogy: I'm so glad you're alive, friend of mine! Gabababa!
Zoro: Miracle, my ass. It's only
natural. The fact those weapons are
still intact after 100 years of constant bashing and clanging is even crazier. As are their owners.
Brogy: What a wonderful day today is! Thank you, God of Elbaf!
Dorry: Oh, Brogy? Was chopping me down and knocking me out that happy for you?
Brogy: You dimwit! That ain't what I'm saying! And you know it!
Dorry: Oww! Don't touch my wounds!
Brogy and Dorry started punching each other.
Dorry: You want some of this?!
Brogy: Yeah! I'll wipe the floor with уа!
Nami: Why are you guys fighting again?!
Zephyr: Boys will be boys. Anyway why do you only have a bra?
Nami punched Zephyr in the head.
Nami: Your wind cut my shirt! You did it on purpose, didn't you?! You better pay it back!
Zephyr: Hehe oops!
Mini Time Skip
They returned to one of the giant's house.
Dorry: Gyagya! We had completely forgotten about the bounties on our heads!
Vivi: But I was the reason they came to this Island in the first place...
Nami pinched Vivi's cheek.
Nami: Let's have none of that!
Luffy: Yeah, Vivi! What're you so down in the dumps for? Want a rice cracker?
Zephyr: Where did you even get those?
Luffy: For now, let's have a rice cracker party!
Usopp: Rice crackers aren't very exciting. But Luffy, get this! Zephyr can fire a beam from her mouth.
Luffy got excited and some sparkles started flying around her.
Luffy: Really?! Zephyr! Please fire a beam! Please! Please!
Zephyr: Perhaps on another occasion, I only use it when I need to.
Nami: *To Vivi* See does anyone blame you?
Zephyr: *To Vivi* Yeah! Don't blame yourself, Vivi. Besides, Sanji is probably going to thank you.
Vivi: Thank me? For what?
Zephyr: If it weren't for you, Nami wouldn't be wearing just a bra
Nami punched Zephyr once more.
Nami: Pervert!
Nami suddenly winced in pain.
Zephyr: Are you okay?
Nami: I'm fine. Just a bug bite.
Zephyr: Bug bite?....She got bitten by a mosquito with Aedes?! Nahh probably not, it's probably just an itch...I think?
Zoro: Still, waiting for a year for the Log to point to the next Island is pretty serious stuff...
Nami: Yeah! It's definitely no laughing matter!
Brogy: You saved us. We would like to thank you in some way.
Luffy: Oh, in that case, you old guys can do something about our Log!
Dorry: I'm afraid Logs are the only thing we can't help you with.
Zephyr: Can you have a fight with me then?
Nami: This is not the time! *Smack her head*
Zephyr: Boo meanie.
Sanji suddenly arrived at the scene.
Sanji: Nami-san~! Vivi-chan~! And you other bums!
Zephyr: *Angry* Other what?!
Sanji: You're okay! Thank goodness!
Usopp: That jerk suddenly shows up only after we're done!
Zephyr: Maybe I can show Luffy the beam by firing at Sanji's face...Nah.
Sanji suddenly noticed the Giants.
Sanji: What the hell?! Are you Mr 3?!
Nami: Hey! How do you know about Mr. 3?
Sanji: Oh! Nami-san~! You're so
titillating like that!
Zephyr: Told ya.
Nami: *Angry* Feel like getting
slugged?
Sanji: Now, now, Nami-san. You'll
catch a cold dressed like that. Here you are.
Sanji gave Nami his jacket.
Nami: Thanks.
Sanji: Zephyr! You bastard! How dare you keep the beautiful Nami-san in this state! You've probably been watching her body this whole time! I mean, who wouldn't want to see her gorgeousness?! But look at her! She
has bruises! Why didn't you protect
her better?!
Zephyr: Oh? I'm sorry! Where were
you when I had a massive rock squash me?! Where were you when
Luffy and I were getting hit by a
barrage of explosions?! Where were you when Zoro, Nami and Vivi were
getting turned into wax figures?!
Where were you when all of us were getting attacked?!
Sanji: ...All right. You win this time! *Sigh* All that aside, I just finished talking with Mr. 0 via Transponder Snail.
Vivi: You talked to the boss?!
Sanji: Yeah. I found this weird hideout in the jungle, you see. He seemed to think I was Mr. 3, so I told him I eliminated everyone
Vivi: So that means he thinks we're
dead?!
Usopp: So we're finally free of people chasing us, but we can't go anywhere!
Sanji: Can't go anywhere? Do we still have business on this island? Just after I managed to get a hold of this, too.
Sanji pulled out an Eternal Pose
that led to Alabasta.
Sanji: Eh? What?
Luffy: It's an eternal Pose to Alabasta!
Everyone started cheering. Vivi ran towards Sanji and hugged him.
Zephyr: Boo I can get us outta here too.
Vivi: Thank you, Sanji-san! I was so
worried for a moment there!
Sanji: No, no! It was my pleasure! I'm glad I could make you so happy!
Luffy: Alright, everyone! Let's have a rice cracker party!
Usopp: We can't do that, Luffy. We only have three left! We can't have a rice cracker party!
Luffy: What?!
Zephyr: Make that two.
Zephyr took a rice cracker from
Usopp's hand and ate it.
Nami: You know this is no time for
that! Let's go, Captain! We don't have time to be lounging around!
Luffy: Alright, round old guy and
giant old guy! We're gonna go now!
Brogy: Oh, I see. Well, you do seem to be in a hurry.
Dorry: That's too bad, but we won't stop you. I hope your homeland is okay.
Vivi: Yes! Thank you!
They started walking away.
Luffy: See ya! Don't die anymore!
Usopp: Master! I will visit Elbaf
someday!
Zephyr: Bye-bye!
When they arrived at the Merry, there were two creatures that Zoro and Sanji had captured, and they were comparing them.
Zoro: See?! Mine's far bigger than
yours!
Sanji: Look closer! My lizard is bigger!
Zoro: Are you blind or something?! My rhino's way bigger!
Zephyr: Are they comparing their pp sizes?
Luffy: It doesn't really matter! They
both look yummy!
Sanji and Zoro kept on arguing.
Nami: How long are you gonna keep at that?
Zephyr: I don't think we'll be able to fit them on the ship.
Nami: You're right. Cut it up!
Sanji: Yes, Nami-san~!
They cut up the most amount of meat they could, and they raised the Merry's anchor.
Luffy: Set sail!
They Merry started following the river.
Nami: They said going straight will
take us to the western end of the Island.
Luffy: Hey. Couldn't you have gotten
any more meat on board?
Zephyr: Not unless we leave someone behind.
Luffy: Look, it's the old guys! They
came to see us off!
Brogy: Ahead is a great obstacle.
Dorry: ...That prevents people who
come to this Island from reaching
the next...You fought desperately to
protect our pride.
Brogy: As such, no matter what
manner of enemy there may be...
Dorry: ...We will not let them destroy your pride, friends!
Brogy: Have faith in us, and continue straight ahead! Straight ahead, no matter what happens!
Luffy/Zephyr: Got it!
Zoro: What's this about!
Usopp: What do you get?
Luffy: We'll go straight ahead, no matter what!
They Merry started exiting the Island and heading back to sea.
Brogy: This is goodbye.
Dorry: Let's meet again someday. Without fail.
Nami: Look! Up ahead!
A giant creature started rising from the ocean.
Dorry: There you are, Island-eater!
Brogy: You will open the path, in the name of Elbaf!
Dorry's sword started being
surrounded by a blue aura, while Brogy's axe was surrounded by a
red aura. From the ocean, rose an
giant goldfish.
Usopp: Something's appeared!
Luffy: What's this guy?
Zephyr: A giant goldfish?
Usopp: A g-giant goldfish?! W-Why
does that sound familiar?!
Nami: Work the rudder! Hurry! We're gonna get eaten! Hurry, Usopp!
Usopp: I-I can't! Go straight ahead!
R-Right, Luffy?! Zephyr?!
Luffy: Yeah! Of course!
Zephyr: Keep moving forward!
The Giant goldfish opened his
mouth.
Nami: Don't be stupid! This won't be
like what happened with Laboon!
Luffy: I know. Calm down. Here, I'll let you have the last rice cracker.
Nami: I don't want it! If we don't turn the ship, we're gonna be-!
Zephyr: Give it up, Nami.
Nami started eating the rice cracker while comically crying, Zephyr petted her head in an attempt to make her feel better. The Merry started going inside the goldfish's mouth.
Sanji: Luffy! We can trust those guys, I hope?!
Luffy: Yeah!
Vivi: Are you crazy?! Are we really
going straight into that beast?!
Zephyr: You think this is a beast? You've seen nothing yet.
Nami: No! We're too late now!
The goldfish closed his mouth,
eating the whole Merry and its crew.
Usopp: Straight ahead! Straight ahead!
Nami: What are you talking about?! We've already been eaten!
Zephyr: Straight ahead!
Luffy: Straight ahead!
A strong gust of wind suddenly
opened a hole through one of the
Goldfish's side and went all the way to the other side, opening another hole and sending the Merry out of the creature.
Zephyr: Woohoo! We're back outside!
Luffy: We're flying out of it! Don't look back! We're going straight ahead!
Usopp: *Crying* They cut the very
sea itself.
Zephyr: Next time we meet, I hope we can have our rematch Brogy.
