Anybody else listen to the Distractible podcast while they are driving and accidentally hit a curb from getting distracted? No? Just me? 



We'd been going down the mountain at an incredible speed, when a huge cloud of fog appeared and engulfed us completely. Okay, that's kinda scary. Y/n definitely does not approve of this.

Everyone was so thrilled to be here, making me equally as thrilled. The wind feels so good on my face, and if the others aren't worried about the fog, I won't worry about it either. An odd and very loud sound ripped us out of our happiness, or at least it ripped me out of my happiness. 

And just when I told myself not to worry.

"Did you guys just hear something?!" Yes! At least Zoro seemed to have heard it as well. Maybe he's good for something after all because I didn't want to believe I was crazy. That sound was most assuredly real, and that scares me.

"Yeah! I heard it, Zoro!" The man looked up at me in the crows nest and was about to say something back before Nami interrupted him. "It was probably just the wind! At this speed, everything sounds distorted!"

Okay Y/n, trust Nami. It could be the wind. There's definitely no need to have a panic attack over some wind. Don't look stupid in front of your new friends, dummy! Get it together!

I heard the sound again, making my anxiety come back 5x worse.

I know wind can sound weird, but that doesn't sound like wind at all! It sounds like something big and scary is crying! It's freaking me out! Too afraid of the sound, I sat down in the crows nest and covered my head.

"Nami! I see a mountain up ahead!"

What? A mountain?

"What?! That's impossible!"

"But it's right there! I can see it!"

Luffy's crazy words, telling us to keep going just make me panic more. First, there's a weird crying sound, and now there's a big mountain sitting in our way? Maybe I'm not ready for this. But the others seem so brave, I can't act like a coward. I've got to pull myself together now!

I slapped my hands on my cheeks, making them sting, before I stood up and turned right back around to look at the huge, ominous shadow looming over us. I can do this! If they can, I can!

"After we pass the Twin Capes up ahead, there should be nothing but ocean!!"

The fog finally cleared up, and revealed a massive roundish looking mountain. Everyone, yes everyone, let out terrified shrieks as we zoomed straight down towards the round mountain. Yes, a round mountain may sound weird, but it's the best way it could be described. As we got closer though, I came to the realization that the mountain was not a mountain, but a whale. A very ENORMOUS whale!

Usopp soon realized this right after me because he shouted to the rest of the crew warning them it was a whale in front of them, not a mountain. The whale let out another loud cry, making the hair on my arms stand.

I love animals so much. Now that I know it's a whale, it's so sad to hear it like that. I wonder what could be making it cry so loudly? It's still very intimidating though.

"What are we gonna do?!"

"Should we fight?!"

"Idiot!!! How are we supposed to fight a 100 ton whale?!"

"Even if it is a whale, how are we gonna get around something so big?!"

The others were just as confused as me after hearing my words, making us all panic more. We came to the conclusion that we may be so small to him, he may not have even noticed our presence, hoping that could help us gain an advantage and somehow get by him.
