Chains That Bind Us |One Piece

Jaya 13

The three cowards of the crew were in complete shock as they were looking slight above them. It was no surprise as the Sea King that had been mentioned before was right before them, trying to eat the Going Merry and all of them with it. At least that was it plan that failed as it was dragged underwater into the whirlpool. Watching the creature of the sea being dragged around in the whirlpool had caused even more terror to the three of them. "Okay, guy! You'll have to handle yourselves from here on in." This was being shouted from a safe distance by Masira.
"Yeah, thanks for bringing us here!" Luffy was waving at them, as if he didn't just witness the Sea King.
"WAIT! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! I'M SCARED OUT OF MY MIND! I WANNA GO BACK, DAMMIT! THIS IS CERTAIN DEATH!" Unlike Usopp who was shouted in terror along side Chopper.
"NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT A GIANT WHIRLPOOL! THIS IS FRAUD I TELL YOU! FRAUD!" As Nami was bursting in anger, but then the sky began getting darker once again.
"AHH! IT'S NIGHT!"
"THE WHIRLPOOL'S PULL IS GETTING STRONGER!" Chopper pointed this fact out as they began moving fast then before.
"We gotta pull out, Luffy! We can still make it!" At this Usopp was trying to change the mind of the Captain in tears. "You understand, right!? This whirlpool alone is enough to kill us! Sky Island's just a dream within a dream!"
"A dream within a dream?" He repeated those last words. "I guess so..." and it appeared that he was in agreement with that.
"That's right, Luffy! I don't think I can do this either!" Nami agreed with turning back, as she was also in tears.
"An island from a dream within a dream?" However, once again he repeated that line. "I could never pass up a great adventure like this!" But it only seemed to have excited him even more then before.
"He... He's having fun..." Which only caused more tears to run down the two human cowards' faces as the last one appeared amazed.
"Hey. While you guys were wasting your time whining..." Zoro's voice pulled them behind to where the moss head man was standing, looking off to the whirlpool. "We've entered the whirlpool." They had finally noticed that Merry was about to go over the edge of the whirlpool. This had caused them all the scream.
"Now, Nami-san, press yourself against my chest!" While Sanji didn't appear to understand at the Merry went over and began falling.
"WE'RE FALLING!" At least that was what was supposed to happen, however I don't know where the ocean had gone flat with no sign of the whirlpool in sight.
"What? It's gone?" Sanji was asking in confusion while looking around.
"What happened?" Everyone was looking for clues.
"Well, that was anticlimactic." Andrea appeared to be kind of disappointed by this.
"No..." However, Nami felt it differently as she was looking down at her feet in terror. "It's already started." But no one quite understand what she meant. "The bottom of the whirlpool was stopped by the sea floor."
"Does that mean..." Andrew could only think of one thing after hearing that.
"HOLD IT!" However, someone new shouting caused all heads to turn. In the distance they noticed a giant raft heading for them. The raft was made up of gigantic trees possibly wound together. Around the sides of the raft it had gunports. A large mast posted in the middle, bearing the flag of the Jolly Roger and three sails. Another sail was placed at the stern of the raft, behind the main sails.
"Oi, Zoro. Look." This was being said by Luffy, pulling the moss head man to the raft coming their way.
"We've caught up to you!" There were five men on that raft and the one which spoke was an extremely tall man with dark skin. He possessed a massive build as his body was round with relatively thin limbs. He had a big mouth with several broken or missing teeth, a pronounced crooked nose and a very large and hairy chest and torso. Long, thick, woolly black hair falls down the back of his neck, underneath a black bandanna, and a small scruffy black beard grows around his jawline. "Straw Hat Luffy!"
"That's the guy from Mock Town!" This was shouted by Nami after she was able to get a good look at him.
"Who?" However, no one else knew who the man was.
"I've come for you 100,000,000 Beli head!" The man had shouted across over to them. "Give yourself up!" The raft was getting closer to them and it appeared to the small group that the sky was dark. "Why's this place so dark?" They didn't notice it until now.
"My head? Whaddya mean, 100,000,000 Beli?" Luffy questioned back to the large ugly man,as he appeared to be confused.
"So you really didn't know." That was then when the man held up both his hands, each holding a piece of paper. "Your head's got a 100,000,000 beli bounty on it! And, Pirate Hunter Zoro! You're worth 60,000,000!" This information had been shouted across to them.
"It's true! They're new wanted posters." Usopp had been the one to clarify this with a pair of binoculars. "Zoro, you've got a bounty now."
"What!?" Hearing this had Sanji jump up over the railing onto the bow. "Oi, hold on! What about me!? I've got one, don't I?" He was asking, arm wrapped around Usopp's shoulders.
"Ah... nope."
"Look closer." He refused to believe that was the case.
"Nope." However, the answer didn't change.
"I see. They went up because of what we did in Alabasta... but 100,000,000 beli..." Nami stated this out loud after realising the case of this.
"What happened in Alabasta? Also, what's Alabasta?" Andrea didn't appeared to know much.
"A desert island that was recently in a civil war created by a Warlord." But Andrew knew about it. Or at least was was written to the world.
"Got it! Now do you know what's going on?" She had moved onto asking him next, pointing over to the raft.
"I believe they're trying to hand over the captain and swordsman for their bounties." This had been explained to her.
"I got that part!" However, she ended up snapping at him all upset. "I was asking about the thing surrounding that raft!" She moved onto explaining, her cheeks puffed. This had caused the young man to turn his head back to the raft.
"There appears to be someone from that ship is from the island." Was all he said in response while looking.
"What are you two talking about?" Robin overheard their conversation and looked to the raft herself not understanding what they talking about. However, she was able to see what it was.
"It's nothing." Both of them had responded, Andrea's with far more energy then Andrew.
"100,000,000! Hear that? I'm worth 100,000,000!" While at the same time Luffy was brimming with excitement.
"I'm a little disappointed at 60,000,000!" However, despite saying that Zoro appeared to be quite happy.
"YOU TWO! QUIT ENJOYING THIS!" Only for them to be snapped at by Nami.
"Oi, you guys! Don't forget what you're doing!" But then the voice belonging Shojou could be heard. "GET READY!" The water below the Going Merry began to raise, lifting her up.
"Everyone brace yourselves on the ship or get into the cabin!" Everyone had take off from the bow and began heading down the stairs of the deck as they were trying to find places to grab.
"THE SEA'S GONNA EXPLODE!!" Both Chopper and Robin were with the mast. Usopp had himself clinging onto the wall outside of the anchor room, with Sanji a few feet away from him, holding onto the side of the ship. On the opposite side, Nami was on the wall belonging to the storage, while Zoro copied Sanji and was clinging to the side. Then there was Andrea and Andrew that were gripping on the outside of the railing belonging to the staircase heading up to the aft deck. Andrea standing in between the railing and her brother, who was using his body as a shield. The only person that hadn't grab anything was standing in the middle of the ship looking down at the ground. Wait...
