Anu decided to stick close to Robin with all of the goings on with the whirlpool. From a Sea King breaching the surface to turn around and be brought under by the sheer force of the whirlpool itself to the ship dropping off the edge of the whirlpool into the frighteningly calm center of the whirlpool.
"Huh? It's gone?! How?" Sanji asked aloud, confused at the situation.
"What happened?" Luffy asked as he bounded to the upper deck of the ship.
"We were in the center of the giant whirlpool! What's going on?" Nami wandered aloud. "No!!" Nami said aloud as her eyes went wide in fear of her sudden realization. "It's already begun!"
"Huh?" Usopp asked.
"The whirlpool disappeared." Nami answered.
"No way!" Luffy replied.
"HAHAHAHA WE CAUGHT UP WITH YOU STRAW HAT LUFFY" came from a ship that sailed up close to the Straw Hats.
"They're from Mock Town!" Nami informed everyone as the ship got closer.
"Who?" Sanji asked.
"WE'RE GONNA TAKE THAT HUNDRED MILLION BERRY HEAD OF YOURS!!" a big man with a scruffy black beard announced. "GIVE UP!!"
"Who are they? Friends?" Shoujou asked as he and Masira looked on from afar.
"I don't know!" Masira answered.
"Did you say my head's worth a hundred million berries? Really?!" Luffy asked the stranger.
"You mean you don't know?!" the stranger asked, confused. "Huh? Why is it so dark around here?! There's a bounty of a hundred million berries on your head! And, Pirate Hunter Zoro, you're worth 60 million!"
"It's true! There's a new poster!" Usopp exclaimed while looking through some binoculars. "Zoro, you're a wanted man!"
"What?!" Sanji asked Usopp. "Now hold on! What about me?! Is there a poster of me?"
"Nope." Usopp simply answered.
"Did you hear that?" Luffy excitedly asked.
"Only 60 million?! Psshh!" Zoro scoffed at the amount.
"I get it." Nami realized. "Your bounties skyrocketed after the Alabasta Incident! A hundred million..."
"Hey, you guys!"Masira called out to the crew. "Pay attention."
"It's coming!" Shoujou told them. "The Knock Up Stream!!"
"Huh? What?" the stranger asked aloud.
"EVERYBODY GRAB ONETO SOMETHING SECURE OR GO BELOW!" Anu and Sanji yelled out.
"WAAAHHH!!" Usopp screamed in terror. "THE SEA'S GONNA BLOW!!"
"Whoa." Luffy remarked at the swell of seawater that was now rising below them.
