The Crew of the Straw Hat Pirates continue their trip down the Red Line mountain through the canal that leads to the legendary Grand Line, the Going Merry sailing with the speed of the rapid currents pushing it forward. Everyone continues to look on from the deck of the ship before it finally pierces through the clouds after being above them for a little while, and everyone on the ship is having a fun time, the wind blowing against their body, the rushing waters below, it all makes for a wonderful start to their long journey.

"Whoa! This is great!" Sanji comments from the starboard ratline, cheering as the rush of air blows his hair back while Usopp continues to cling onto the mast, a big smile on his face as he too is enjoying the ride.

"YAHOOOO!" Nami yells out as she is enjoying this as well while Zoro merely smirks but is enjoying it as much as everyone else while Luffy is on the figure head of the ship and Y/N has his arms out to get the most of the rushing air, missing the feeling of when he first arrived on this legendary mountain before reaching the legendary see. However, their fun is interrupted by a low but really loud horn-like sound that Zoro manages to pick up, but with Y/N, his eyes widen in shock, realizing just who the cause of the noise truly is.

"Did you guys hear something?" Zoro asks to everyone upon hearing the strange noise.

"Huh? What'd you say?" Nami asks, the smile still plastered on her face the entire time.

"Don't you hear that strange sound?" The swordsman asks again.

"Isn't it the wind? There must be lots of unusual landforms!" She assumes, but then they hear the sound yet again just as a massive shadowed and round object is seen beyond the clouds, and upon seeing this, Usopp uses his spyglass goggles to zoom in and try to discern what it really is.

"Nami-san! I see a mountain up ahead!" Sanji calls out from the ratline, but Y/N immediately informs them.

"That's no mountain! I know that sound all too well! THAT'S AN ISLAND WHALE!" Y/N shouts out as his eyes widen in horror this Laboon thing is right in their path and worse yet, they have no rudder to properly steer the ship away from it.

"Island Whale!? What's that!?" Luffy asks, unable to hear most of what his brother said due to the rushing air as they continue to speed down the mountain.

"WHAT IT IS, IS A MASSIVE WHALE, WORSER YET, IT'S IN THE GOING MERRY'S PATH, WE'RE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A WHALE!" Y/N informs the entire crew, and just like that, screaming ensues from everyone as the clouds are no longer in their way to reveal the massive whale as it's head is reared up and facing the clouds, letting out yet another enormous bellow.

"WHAT IT IS, IS A MASSIVE WHALE, WORSER YET, IT'S IN THE GOING MERRY'S PATH, WE'RE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A WHALE!" Y/N informs the entire crew, and just like that, screaming ensues from everyone as the clouds are no longer in their way to reveal th...

"Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are we gonna do!?" Usopp asks in utter terror as he continues to cling onto the mast.

"Shall we fight?" Luffy asks quickly, only to be shut down by Nami just as quickly.

"Idiot! There's no way we can fight that!" Nami scolds her Captain.

"That's right, that whale is too massive for us to take on! We're gonna have to try and stop the ship! USOPP, SANJI, ZORO, TRY TO FIX THE RUDDER! LUFFY, WITH ME, I have an idea!" Y/N lets out some orders and everyone springs into action with the first three already trying to pull on the rudder as hard as they can while the two sworn brothers head into the cannon room to use the force of the blast to help stop the ship from speeding right into the whale. All the while, Nami can stare helplessly at the massive animal, frozen in utter fear as her dreams might surely be crushed from this simply whale.
