Things had been decided by Zoro as he was going to the island no matter what. He began looking for a way across to land when he noticed a large branch over head. There was no way he could reach it but... "Looks like we can use that vine."
"Oh, yes. Good idea." A voice had caused him to look back down. "Do you mind if I come along, Swordsman-san?" It was when Robin, who had been examining the writing and scrips on the altar walls, come over asking.
"Fine, just don't get in the way." He was a bit confused at first, but didn't have any problem with her coming.
"Wait!" However, Nami on the other hand had ran to the other side of the ship and shouted down to the woman. "Where are you going, Robin?"
"Look at this." Instead of answering her right away, the dark hair woman pulled their attention to the wall she had been examining before. "It's been at least 1,000 years since this altar was constructed."
"1-1,000?" Both Nami and Chopper seemed taken back by what she was saying.
"Something this historic makes me throb with excitement." It only caused the two to look at her, a bit taken back by her words.
"Me too! Me too!" Lian was swinging her arms up and down in excitement. "This sounds like fun so I'm going!"
"God, does that mean I have to go too?" On the other hand Jian looked completely disgusted at the thought.
"Don't be like that!" His sister had jumped onto his back. "There might be treasure or something! Doesn't that sound like fun!? She was swaying back-and-forth on him, causing his body to follow her motions.
"I'm going too!" Someone that seemed completely against the idea suddenly changed their tone.
"WHAT!? DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU WERE SCARED!?" Which caused the reindeer to scream in shock at her sudden change in behaviour.
"We're going to dig up some history." However, despite her words Nami's eyes were shaped like beri signs. A few feet away the twins were watching
"She's easy to manipulate, isn't she." Jian was stating as his sister began nodding on his shoulder in agreement.

A while later, after gathering some stuff they might need, the five had climbed to the crow's nest where Robin had used her power to sprout arms on the branch above. The pair of arms had thrown down the vine Zoro had spoken about before. "Will that suffice?" She came to ask the swordsman as the vine fell into his hands.
"It's perfect." He answered before he began coughing for some reason, like he had a tickle in his throat.
"What is he doing?" Jián's eyebrows had frowned as they were standing wait for Zoro to move. Then he had finally leaped off, vine in hand.
"AHHHHHH!" While he was swinging he was sounding like Tarzan, the victory cry of the bull ape.
"What is that? A call of bravery?" The navigator couldnt believe what he just did.
"Yep, definitely a moron." While Lian looked to her brother that said that as he was rubbing his temple. The moment Zoro had landed on the other side, the vine had been thrown back by Robin's limbs still on the tree above.
"My turn!" Lian leaped onto the crows nest edge, grabbing the vine. She had pulled on it a few times, finding her grip before she had pushed off. "YAHOOOOOO!!" She had swung at full force towards the land and once a certain distance she had let go and began back somersaulting in the air before landing. "Perfect scores!" The girl stated proudly before dusting herself off. The vine had then been sent back, which Robin had gone next with little to no effort as she landed on the island with no problems.
"This is so stupid." The vine had come back and Jian took it into his hands, before he had swung across without a single sound. Just like Robin.
"They're so cool!" Chopper, still on the bow, was watching the two.
"They make it look easy." That only left one more person to come across, Nami who began getting nervous as she was standing no the edge of the nest, vine in hand. She tugged on it a few times but began trembling. "This is a bit high..." she was clearly getting scared.
"It's about 50 meters. If you dont make it, you'll die." And Robin's words were not helping her in the slightest.
"Please, even if she didn't die from falling, she'll be eaten." Then there was Jian that made it even worse as the Skysharks were gathering around the one that had been knocked out by Zoro.
"STOP SCARING ME!" Needless to say that the navigator snapped at them both. That was when she saw the Skysharks dragging the unconscious one down below, clearing eating it. "They're right. It's all over is I fall."
"Nami." Chopper was looking up to her worried.
"Okay, alright! Im coming! Here I go!" Then she finally, holding onto dear life as she swung across the clouds. "TOO FAST!" But began freaking out due to pushing off to hard and not heading right for a tree at full speed. "IT'S TOO FAST!" At the last second he had been saved by Robin, her arms sprouting out like tentacles from her.
"How very brave of you." It was hard if the woman was being serious or just mocking the girl that fell to her knees.
"I wonder what's this way!" Lian took off into the forest, not even worried.
"Sorry for all the trouble." She was trying to catch her breath.
"It's nothing." Robin took off without a second thought, along side Jian as they were following his excited sister. Meanwhile, Zoro had rang off another cry beside Nami.
"It's because you didn't do the call." He had stated to this being the reason she almost lost her life.
"THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM!"
"Hey! Hey!" Lian was standing on large roots that were as tall as they were. "I've never seen trees on land this big before!" She was shouting to the others while waving her arms around, excitedly.
"This truly s a huge forest..." Robin stated as she was glancing around at the tress.
"Is it just me, or do there look familiar?" Jian was rubbing the back of his head while glancing around. He knew he's never been here before but there was this strange sense of familiarity about it.
"Okay, Chopper! The ship's in your hands!" Zoro had began walking over to join the three, while shouting back over to Chopper in the Merry.
"We'll leave it with you!" The dark hair woman turned around slightly.
"Good luck, Cho-chan!" While the sister began waving over to him, cheering as the brother didn't even look back.
"We'll be back soon!" And the navigator had recovered after a moment.
"Okay! Be careful, guys! Come back safe!" The little guy was shouting over to them before they headed deeper into the forest. Not know what would be ahead of them.
