It was what you could call "the best day" type weather.
The sun was overhead, and a gentle breeze blew the few last bits of clouds away. The temperature outside was warm, but not hot. And most importantly, the Straw Hats were on an adventure in the New World on an island where everything was backwards. The small was big, and the big was small. Or, for the animals atleast. So far, they'd seen pint-sized tigers, mini sharks, fifty feet sloths, you name it.
"WHY.. WHY? WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US, LUFFY?!" Nami, Usopp and Chopper trembled and wept behind a rock.
"It's FUN!" Luffy grinned like he'd just found the One Piece, and then punched an otter the size of the Thousand Sunny in the face.
"I'LL PROTECT YOU, NAMI-SCHWAAAAN!!" Sanji yodeled, twirling around Nami and kicking Usopp out of the way.
"Oh, put a cork in it, Love-Love Goblin." Zoro scoffed, downing a bottle of booze before getting to his feet and drawing his swords, glaring at the otter with anticipation.
"HEEEH?!?! WANNA FIGHT, MOSS-HAIRED MONSTER?!"
In less than a minute, they were at each other's necks, unable to care less about the beast that was looming over them anymore.
Brook, Frank and Robin watched in amusement.
"HEY, SANJI! I GOT US MEAT! Wait, can you eat this?" Luffy was sitting on top of the otter, who was clearly down for the count.
"I'll see, but if we're gonna eat it, we gotta cut it down to size first."

The Straw Hats had left the island about an hour ago and were headed towards the next using the log pose when, of course, something just had to happen. So fun.
Captain! We've got a Navy vessel approaching off the starboard bow. I think i've seen that figurehead before, too." Franky called down from the crows nest, pointing towards a ship cutting through the waves.
"Finally. I was wondering when those navy bastards would show their faces." Zoro pulled one of his swords from the sheath slightly with a sinister smile.
"Z-Zoro is s-s-scary.." Chopper hugged Robins leg with a terrified expression, but Robin just chuckled and leaned down to pet Chopper on the head with a smile.
"Wait a second.." Franky peered in a pair of binoculars. "LUFFY! I think that ship.."
The cyborg shouted down, earning attention from everybody, even Zoro, who had been drifting to sleep.
"It belongs to the Vice-Admiral Garp!"
