Inside the mouth of an enormous island-sized sea turtle, Luffy, Y/N, Zoro, Sanji, and Masira the Salvage King stood in the remains of the St. Briss.
"Who turned out the lights?" Luffy wondered.
"My guess is that the entire wreck just became a snack for a huge sea monster," Sanji stated.
AAAA-CHOOO! Everyone jumped when Y/N suddenly let out a loud sneeze.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK?" Masira demanded.
"Sorry," Y/N apologized as he rubbed his nose, "I just got the sudden feeling that..." Y/N trailed off and looked thoughtful. "Hey Zoro, would you fancy exploring the stomach of a giant sea monster?"
"Not really," Zoro admitted, "especially after what happened with that whale."
"It's just that I've got the strangest feeling that this isn't the first ship that this monster's swallowed," Y/N explained, "You could almost say I can sense it."
"OOOH!" Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji chorused as they caught on.
"You mean your Treasure..." Luffy started to blurt out. WHAP! He was cut off when Sanji clamped his hand over his mouth. He cast a wary glance at Masira, not wanting the Salvage King to get worked up over the potential of finding treasure in the monster's belly.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a look," Zoro reasoned.
"OOO!" Luffy gushed, "If you're going on an adventure I wanna come too! I wanna find some tre—" WHAP! Again Sanji clamped his hand over the Captain's loud mouth.
"You know what, maybe I should just take Luffy," Y/N resolved.
"HEY! HOLD ON!" Masira protested. "This might just be because I'm super observant but I get the feeling that you guys are up to something."
"We're trapped in the mouth of a monster," Y/N pointed out, "I thought that we could take a chance to explore while we're in here. If you'd like to risk being digested, you're welcome to come along."
Masira flinched. "I'm not about to go diving into the belly of a monster!" the monkey man exclaimed, "That'd make it way too easy for the beast to actually eat me!"
"Then in that case, you stay here with these two and try to find a way out," Y/N suggested. "Luffy, you come with me. I've got a feeling that this'll be a very interesting adventure."
"YEAAAHH!" Luffy cheered, "After going in that whale, sailing through that goldfish, and escaping in that big banana, this'll be great! I bet we'll find loads of..." WHAP! This time, Y/N clamped his hand over Luffy's mouth.
"You guys grab anything you think is valuable and head out," Y/N instructed, "Poor Nami, Usopp, and Chopper are probably terrified. Tell them to set sail and we'll use this thing to catch up to you." With that, Y/N dragged Luffy out of the remains of the St. Briss, into the monster's mouth and down its throat.
"HOLD ON!" Masira shouted. "What did he mean 'grab anything you think is valuable'? YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO STEAL MY TREASURE!"
"Looks like the jig is up," Zoro realized.
"It's not yours if it's sunken," Sanji growled.
"THIS IS MY TERRITORY!" Masira roared. "ANY SUNKEN SHIPS IN THIS AREA ARE MY PROPERTY! I'M THE SALVAGE KING! I'LL TEACH YOU!" Masira swung his arm around and lashed out at Sanji. "MONKEY PUNCH!"
SWISH! Sanji leaned to the side and avoided the attack then spun around and hooked his leg around Masira's face, "FLANCHET... SHOOT!" THWHAM! Sanji's kick sent Masira flying across the room and into the wall. KRASH! THUMP! Masira hit the deck and didn't move.
