The moment that Chopper pulled the anchor up the ship had began shaking wildly, as if they were on waves. "Chopper!" Nami called out to him as he was rolling across the deck after being thrown off the railing he had been sitting on. "What happened?!" She then turned back to the front where she looked down below.
"What the hell's going on!?" The shaking had caused Zoro to wake up, in confusion.
"Maybe we're on the current already!" Chopper innocently thought this fact as he was clinging onto the post of the railing.
"That's not it." Jian was in disagreement as he was trying to keep his balance.
"Yay! This is fun!" While his sister seemed to be enjoying herself as she was sitting and bouncing around on the railing, as if it were a bull trying to buck her off. It was then when the ship began moving on it own, backwards.
"Wait a minute... what's going on?" Nami was holding on tightly in confusion as the ship was moving. "What is that?" She came to noticed a large shadow under the Merry. Other than Chopper, who was crying as he cling to the post, the others ran to the side to see what was going on.
"Did we get onto that current thing?" Zoro had leaped onto what was left of the wing attached to the ship.
"No, it seems to be something quite different." Robin pointed this out looking sown at the shadow.
"What's that?" Lian noticed something red and pointy sticking out the clouds, which her question was soon answered as the Merry had been lifted up from the sea, being held between large red claws belonging to a large red lobster which had 'GOD' on it's forehead. Zoro almost lost his balance which caused him to pull out one of his katana's and stabbed it down to help him.
"Where's it taking us!?" He turned to the others, thinking they knew the answer. "Oi, everyone jump off the ship! We can still make it back!" This had then been shouted by him.
"But what about the ship!?" He was being asked this by Chopper. "If it takes the ship..."
"Don't worry! I'll stay here!" This had been stated by him.
"You cant... what are you going to do by yourself!?" Nami was shouting at him, asking. It didn't matter how strong he was there was no way he would be fine on his own.
"I'll think of something!" Zoro leaped down from the ship and onto the back of the lobster. He had pulled out all three of his swords and sliced at the back if the lobster, however, no matter how much or where he sliced it didn't do anything to it. "Didn't work..." he pulled his katanas back, but he began hearing cracking sounds. "Now we're getting somewhere." That was when Lian noticed something in the distance, causing her to nudge her brother beside her. "Yosh, this'll work." Zoro was about to pull out his katanas again.
"Oi, stop your pointless cutting." He stoped as he looked back to the ship where Jian was glaring down at him. "Get back up here." The male twin told him in annoyance.
"What?" Which seemed to have annoyed Zoro, with his tone.
"What's the point in cutting away at the thing when we're being followed?" He was looking off behind them where something was moving in the sea.
"What?" The others had all followed his direction and were now seeing something popping up and down in the clouds behind, following them. They had been the same fish from when they were attacked.
"They're called Humongous!" Lian had peaked out from in front of Jian as she spoke.
"It's clear that they will eat us the moment we enter the sea." This had been stated by him which only caused Zoro to click his tongue in response. "What do you think our chances are of beating them all?" Jian asked this to the others. "And even if we do, what are the chances that there is more things waiting for us?" He moved onto asking this. "There isn't any point in fighting back. This is clearly only the beginning."
"Heaven's Judgement, eh?" Zoro remembered the words that was shouted by the Captain of the White Berets. "Instead of coming after us, he's calling us forth. Cunning bastard."
"He's kind of reminding me of that guy." Lian appeared annoyed as she said that.
"Then..." Nami come collapsing onto the deck. "We have to go to that island?" She was slouching over as if giving up. "LUFFY! USOPP! SANJI-KUN!" It was clear where they were heading and it wasn't going to end well. But who for? The crew or this God and his Priests?
