"By...by any chance, did you guys pick up a drifting barrel?" Brook asked.
"Yah, we found one" Luffy answered.
"I knew it...That was a trap" Brook said "They've been after your ship ever since you opened it. This is the ghost island that wanders the seas" Brook said "Thriller Bark!"

The entire StrawHat crew stared at the island now in front of them that had stopped the Thousand Sunny from sailing.
"Wait a minute" Nami said as she looked at the Log pose on her wrist "The Log pose doesn't work"
"That's because this island comes from the West Blue" Brook explained as he turned to speak to them before going in to grab his walking stick.
Brook stood on the masthead of the Thousand Sunny and Anamaria stared at how exceptionally light footed he was and was able to jump from the deck to the masthead in a single bound.
"Yohohoho! Please break through the gate behind you and escape with all due haste!" he advised the stunned Straw Hats as he tipped his hat and bade them farewell "No matter what, do not drop anchor by the shore! Oh, it made me very happy to meet you today. Thank you so much for such a scrumptious meal. Take care and may we have the fortune to meet on other waters!"
He leapt off the masthead and into the water. The Straw Hats gasped and raced over to the railing to get a better look. Suddenly, a stream of water burst along the sides of the ship and they all turned to see Brook skilfully running on top of the water.
"Yohohohohoho!" he laughed while he scurried out of sight.
"WOW!" Luffy and Chopper stared at the Devil Fruit user as he ran over the water.
"I think we should take his advice, Luffy," Nami said as she turned to her captain, "I have no idea what's going on, but this island is clearly nothing but trouble."
"Huh, did you say something?" Luffy turned with a gigantic grin plastered on his face. His expression showing that he had not heard the navigator's advice at all.
"Hey...about that large tremor we felt a minute ago" Robin interrupted. She pointed towards the front of the ship where they could see a giant gate blocking their path. It was shaped like a mouth with red lips on the top and it's square stones resembled its teeth "If that mouth-like gate caused it when it shut, I think that it essentially devoured us. It's hard to see through the fog, but the fence extending from the gate appears to surround the entire island"
"That's what the skeleton meant by escape..." Usopp gulped.
"Maybe, we should listen to him?" Ana said hesitantly, it wasn't that she was scared but the giant mouth was creeping her out far too much.
"Don't worry Ana-chwan, I'll protect you" Sanji exclaimed as he pulled Ana closer to him, smiling wider when she let him.
"If this island is moving" Franky surmised "That means we're still in the middle of the sea. We can't drop anchor here"
"Whoah! Why do i get the feeling you wanna stay here?" Usopp seethed "We've gotta leave now or we're gonna get cursed!"
"Listen, guys. I've come down with Fear-of-unknown-islands-oasis" Nami said as she curled up into a ball next to Chopper.
"Same" Chopper cried "I've come with it too"
"Okay! You guys stay here while we take her up to shore!" Luffy cried with a fishing net in his hands and a small cage hanging over his shoulder.
