Sailing through the vast waters of an unnamed Ocean, was a lost group of Pirates. Amongst them was their Navigator, Nami, who was at a loss for words.

"Well, you guys want the good news or the bad news first?" The sound of her voice made many heads turn.

"Give us the bad news first!" Luffy responded, raising his hand up with anticipation.

"The bad news is that there's a dangerous heat wave headed our way, and if the waters continue to get warmer, it could stir up a Tsunami."

"Sue Nami!? What'd you get sued for?"

The simple-minded Captain spoke back, once again.

"Tsunami, Luffy. It means that a natural disaster could happen if the Ocean keeps heating up with the weather."

Sanji, the Cook of the ship informed.

"Now that you mentioned it, Nami-san... It is pretty muggy out here today."

The man tugged at his black button up shirt, back and forth, trying to catch his breath.

"What's worse is that we're under air quality alert, from 1p.m. until 5 o'clock in the afternoon."

Nami sighed, feeling slightly out of air.

"FIVE HOURS WITH AIR QUALITY!? WHAT?! THAT'S HORRIBLE!!! ...What's air quality?"

Luffy questioned, making everyone roll their eyes.

"Air quality is exactly what it sounds like: It's the quality of the air outside.

Right now we're over 102, and they said it could go up to 300 today.

If that happens, we'll all have to stay inside all day, up until the late afternoon. Or until the heat advisory goes away."

The orange haired woman gulped, looking down at her compass with concern written all over her face.

"Things might get ugly in a few hours, so wear something light, everybody."

"And keep yourselves hydrated too! If any of you start showing any signs of dehydration or exhaustion, I'll be right here for you guys!"

Chopper added, reassuring his friends that they could count on him.

"It's just a little heat, how bad can it be?"

Said Sanji, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt to avoid getting oil on them while he fried a set of sizzling ribs, coated with Barbecue sauce on his stainless steel pan.

"Everyone, lunch is almost ready!"

The calming bright blue scenery started to fade away right before the Straw Hats, as they gathered at the dinner table to have their delicious meal together.

Upon focusing his vision on the sun's unavoidable rays of light, Sanji's electric blue pupils were illuminated.

He smiled back down at his lunch, admiring the beauty that Summer brought to the World.

"Summer's back at Baratie were hot as well, so there shouldn't be a big difference between the Summers back then to the Summer right now."

But this was just the very beginning of the Summer heat, and what it had in store for the optimistic Cook was far more different than he could ever imagine.
