The Grand Line:
-x-
"I CAN SEE IT!" Luffy exclaimed, "THIS IS THE GREATEST SEA IN THE WHOLE WORLD! IT'S THE GRAND LINE!"
Y/N smiled as he stared through the clouds at the legendary ocean that was awaiting them and whispered, "I'm home."
"LET'S GOOOO!" Luffy cheered as the Going Merry continued on its path downward and took them closer to their dreams. New adventures, new friends, and new enemies awaited the Straw Hat Pirates in the Grand Line.
The Going Merry continued down the canal from the peak of Reverse Mountain and started on its way into the Grand Line. The Merry plowed through a cloud and kept going.
"Whoa! This is great!" Sanji exclaimed as he hung onto a rope ladder on the mast and stared down the canal ahead of them. He was still wearing the same black suit and tie from last story and was still smoking the same cigarette.
"Ahahahaha!" Usopp laughed as he enjoyed the ride while sitting on top of the rigging of the main sail. He had his special goggles down over his eyes so he could see through the clouds and mist better.
"WOOOHOOO!" Nami cheered, who was wearing a sleeveless blue shirt with a darker blue heart on it, her usual fancy sandals, and a one of her usual skirts, this one was black and had two white rings on the sides. She was leaning against the front railing of the front deck staring down the canal, "HEHEHEHEHE!"
Zoro smiled and stared around him in wonder as he stood behind the front railing on the other side of the front deck. He clutched the white handle of Wado Ichimonji.
Y/N used his hand to keep the black cowboy hat on his head as he leaned back against the back railing of the front deck. A seemingly out of place smile was on his face as the Merry continued its descent into the Grand Line.
Luffy sat on the sheep figurehead clutching his treasured straw hat to his head. He stared in marvel down at legendary ocean that awaited them. This was the ocean that he had to conquer to become King of the Pirates.
As the Straw Hats got further down, a loud noise could be heard coming from the bottom of the mountain. BWAAA!
"Did you guys just hear something?" asked Zoro, he nearly had to shout to make sure his voice was heard over the rushing wind and the spray of the waves.
"Unfortunately," Y/N muttered as he cleaned out one of his sensitive ears with a finger.
"Huh? What's that?" questioned Nami, who couldn't hear anything with the wind rushing passed them.
"THAT GROANING SOUND!" Zoro called out a bit louder, "Didn't you hear it?"
"It was probably just the wind!" Nami replied. "At this speed everything sounds distorted!"
BWAAA! The sound came again as the Going Merry passed through another cloud and got closer to the bottom.
"Huh, what's that?" Usopp wondered as he adjusted the lenses of his special goggles and spotted a large shadow in the mist at the bottom of the Grand Line.
"Miss. Nami!" Sanji called out from his high spot on the rope ladder. "I see a mountain up ahead!"
"What? That's impossible!" said Nami.
"But it's right there!" Sanji insisted. "I can see it!"
"I can't," Y/N commented, "But then I again, barely have depth perception."
"WHO CARES? LET'S GO!" Luffy cheered as he enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing passed his face.
"Once we pass the Twin Capes up ahead there should be nothing but ocean!" Nami exclaimed.
