As soon as the Straw Hat Pirates, along with their newest "members" or rather hostages, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday are sailing through the unpredictable waters of the Grand Line with Usopp and Luffy having fun on the deck of the Going Merry, Sanji shoveling the snow off of the deck,  Zoro seemingly still asleep in such cold conditions, Nami staying in the mess hall, and Y/N high above on the Crow's Nest, where he continues to watch out for any and all vessels that might take the opportunity to attack them in this unpredictable weather. And speaking of, it seems to be snowing as previously stated when Sanji is shoveling loads of it off of the ship.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Usopp start to have a contest on who's the best in terms of snowman making, with Y/N looking on from above and occasionally looks down at the two most playful crew mates to check on them.

"Alright! Done!" Luffy shouts out as he takes a piece of wooden rod and sticks it onto the top snowball that makes the head, along with that is a large wooden barrel stuck atop his head at an off-angle, it's eyes not even aligned with each other horizontally, two more wooden rods for arms, and a green cloth that acts like a cape. "This is the man that fell from the sky, Mr. Snow Barrel!" From there, Usopp gives Luffy a very villainy laugh right after introducing his snowman.

"That's such a crude snowman..." He comments, causing his captain to react negatively, the snow on his Straw Hat fall onto the deck. "Look at my soulful artwork, the Snow Queen!" Usopp introduces, and not only is it what the Sniper says it is, it looks like something that Sanji himself would revere with grace and simp energy.

"Whoa! That's incredible!" Luffy gawks at it only for a moment before he decides to sabotage it. "Okay then! Snow Barrel Punch!" He shouts out as he strikes at the back of one of the rods that make up the arms of his snowman, sending it flying right at the Snow Queen's head, destroying only that part of the statue. It takes Usopp a few seconds to realize it before he does so and bulging eyes and all and decides to take revenge by drop kicking the Mr. Snow Barrel head.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Usopp shouts out as he kicks Luffy's snowman's head clean off, eliciting an angry reaction from the captain.

"AHH! MR. SNOW BARREL!" Luffy shouts out before it becomes an all out snow brawl between the both of them with the captain starting it off by tackling Usopp to the floor, only for him to start throwing wave after wave of snow balls at the Straw Hat as he runs away from the onslaught as the Sniper shouts "Damn you!" over and over again as he chucks snowballs at Luffy.

However, the captain counters by rolling a large snowball that becomes taller than Usopp, reversing their roles of chaser and chased before Usopp gets smooshed under the large ball, causing Y/N to chuckle at this. That is until the long-nosed pirate picks up the heavy snowball and chases after Luffy again in hopes of hitting him with it, which he does before it becomes an all-out brawl between them with no snow involved whatsoever.

Y/N smiles softly at the interaction before he looks up at the the sea ahead, double checking for anything suspicious, unfurling his spyglass to check for the island that they're supposedly meant to arrive at. That is until Sanji shouts out to Nami-san, hearts in his eyes as he shovels the snow more and more out of deep love for the Navigator.

"Nami-san! How much snow-shoveling of love would you like me to do!?" He asks her, turning towards her as she looks on from inside the mess hall through a port hole.

"Please continue until it stops snowing, Sanji-kun!" She responds to his question before he goes right back to shoveling after acknowledging her as he usually does, then she looks up at the Crow's Nest to Y/N, who is still on the spyglass. "Anything interesting beyond the fog, Y/N-kun?" She asks him, causing the Son of the Pirate King to look down and shake his head.
