Ryuji told Luffy that he wanted to come here, he knew his time was over and the millennial dragons are reborn every 1000 years, the place was filled with many baby dragon eggs and one of them hatched. Maybe grandpa Ryu was being reborn right now. Apis was angry that she had been deceived but Ryuji probably didn't want to worry her, Eric crawled out of whatever hole.

"I'll kill all these dragons, make an elixir and become immortal."

People often take their mortality for granted but that's what makes living worth it, the fact that life is fleeting and unpredictable, you personally wouldn't want to live forever. It's a chance to do everything or nothing at all. Apis is running to the protect the dragons when Eric sends a slash towards her, Usopp took notice and pulled her out of the way.

"I'll fight him." Luffy walks up to him, ends the fight in two moves and we can finally head for the Grand line.

"Do you want to come with us.?" Usopp offers but Apis declines.

"I want to stay here and protect the lost island. I also want to learn the customs of my people and preserve it." It was admirable how much she had grown since you guys showed up. After packing up she is waving good bye to us as well as thanks for bringing her back.

"Nami-san I have a report of love, storm clouds ahead." Sanji alerted our ever so capable navigator of the bad weather. In the kitchen there was a map of the red line that was necessary to pass to enter the Grand line. All through the explanation Usopp was struggling with the rudder. If we missed the entrance into up the mountain we would crash onto the wall of the red line and well die.

Sanji went to help Usopp with the rudder but it wasn't budging and broke. Great. We weren't even on the straight path, at this point we would go up slightly but crash. Luffy went outside and with a gum-gum balloon he was able to realign the ship, thank goodness for your captain. Going Merry was now climbing the mountain when someone came out from the store, it was a stow away. Eric was stubborn and everywhere he just needed a hobby to get him occupied.

"Nobody move if you do I'll slice the ship up. " While climbing the red line it would be horrible if he did so, you would all die horribly. 

"Look dragonite." Nami pointed to the water, the way his head turned so fast you feared it would snap, when he looked she kicked him into the water. That was some good thinking. Riding the current the ship reached the top and you thought of how this brought you a step closer to your goal and you imagined that the others felt the same.

After reaching the top on the opposite side was a steep descend to enter the Grand line. Going down there was a loud sound like wailing or crying but it wasn't from a person rather an animal, the rushing water did well to cover it up.

"Nami-san there's a mountain ahead." Sanji said from the crow's nest. 

"What? There's only supposed to be one mountain." What came into view was the largest whale you had ever seen and the going merry was going straight for it about to crash, steering away wasn't an option the rudder was broken.

"There's space to its left." Zoro pointed out and indeed there was some space, the ship however was moving too fast to even begin rowing. Luffy came up with the canon and shot directly at the whale. 

The impact allowed the ship to slow down but Merry got decapitated in the process. The crew paddled the ship through the tiny space and Luffy then had the very bright idea to hit the whale in the eye for breaking his seat. You slumped down with tears in your eyes. This was horrible. The victim to Luffy's antics let out a bellow of pain which would maybe later damage your eardrums.

The whale crashed down to the water and opened its mouth swallowing Merry, everyone was there except Luffy. When you took a look inside the stomach it looked like the outside, there was a sky with clouds and everything even some birds. Looking down there was a tiny island with a house, before you could admire anymore a giant squid just popped out of the water.

"Eek!" You were scared. But then some hooks went through the squid king and a man came out of the house dragging it. He looked at us and we just stared back, air full of tension that could be cut through. During the staring contest we waited for something to happen, anything but he just sat down and started reading his newspaper. 

"Say something at least!" Sanji shouted at the man with a petals coming out of his skull. 

"Hey tell us who you are and where we are." Zoro decided to try to reason with the guy. 

"Its rude to not introduce yourself first." Odd Apis had said the exact same thing, just dodging again.

"I'm Roronoa .."

"My name is crocus..." Zoro was ready to attack him for taking too long to answer but Sanji held him back. 

"..I'm a doctor and a Gemini my blood group is AB. " He was giving out a lot of information and the water started shaking

"Oh no its started again." Crocus jumped into the water. Was it even safe to swim in this? Wasn't it like stomach juices? He swam all the way to the place he had said was the exit. Luffy came flying through the door with two others that had nothing to do with you guys. There was a girl with blue hair in a high pony tail and a dude with orange hair a crown and the number nine under his eyes. 

They all were on our boat when the two weirdos started to shoot canons at the whale. Crocus jumped and blocked the canons and fell into the stomach juices. Luffy then hit the two who had shot the whale saying he just felt like it.

Crocus explained how Laboon was an island whale from the West blue and had come here with a crew long ago and was still waiting for them, even after 50 years. The bandits keep trying to kill Laboon so that they can feed their village but that just seemed far fetched.  Laboon had a human heart so he keeps crashing into the red line in hopes of getting to the other side to be with the crew that was more than likely dead. Crocus  showed us to the exit and led the way outside.

 "Hey! Wanna join my crew as our doctor?" Luffy asked. 

"I'm too old for that." 

"I like your sky painting, its very realistic." You complimented and he smiled. 

"I once knew a woman who could do the same easily and much more." We were directed to the lighthouse and Luffy continued to the unexpected. He broke Merry's mast and plunged it into Laboon's head.
