"Whoa~ whoa~ whoa~" After much effort, the Going Merry finally carried the Straw Hat crew into Reverse Mountain.

Luffy was thrilled, continuously shouting in excitement as they climbed the mountain.

However, as they reached the summit, the current began to descend. While it wasn't dangerous for them, it was still quite thrilling.

"Nami-san, there's a mountain ahead!" Sanji called out from high up on the mast, pointing at a large shadow in the distance.

"That's impossible! After Reverse Mountain, it should just be a vast ocean!" Nami replied, surprised.

"It's a whale!" Usopp, peering through his glasses, trembled as he spoke.

"What? A whale that big?" Luffy exclaimed, looking forward in awe.

"BOOOOOWWWWW~~~"

Just then, the whale let out a roar, sending the crew into a panic.

"Now's not the time for this! We need to think of a way to avoid it, or we're going to crash!"

"The rudder is broken; we can't steer!"

"What do we do? We're gonna die!"

The ship was thrown into chaos as Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro rushed to the broken rudder, desperately trying to make the ship turn.

But their efforts seemed futile. Luffy clapped his hands as an idea struck him, hurrying over to the cannon.

"Boom~"

"A cannon?" The rest of the crew was taken aback. They hadn't expected Luffy to use the cannon's recoil to stop the ship. But attacking such a gigantic creature didn't seem much different from crashing into it.

"Clunk~"

Although the ship halted, the ram on the bow was smashed, infuriating Luffy upon seeing the damage.

"Quick, escape!" Zoro shouted, staring into the whale's eye, which seemed oblivious to them.

"It's probably too big to notice such a small attack. It's like a mosquito to it! Let's get out of here before it realizes we're here!" Nami urged, finding new hope as they quickly paddled away.

"BOOOOOWWWWW~~~"

Just as they passed under the whale's eye, it let out another roar that felt like it would burst their eardrums. Even Ryu, still inside the cabin, twitched his fingers, seemingly hearing the whale's roar.

"What have you done to my special seat?" Luffy stood at the bow, extending his arm to punch the whale in the eye.

"That idiot!" "Fool!" "We're done for!"

The rest of the crew watched with tears in their eyes as Luffy attacked the whale, their hearts sinking.

Sure enough, while it didn't injure the whale, the soft spot was enough to make it look directly down at them.

"Run! It spotted us!"

But instead, Luffy angrily yelled at the whale, "Come at me, you jerk!"

"Shut up already!" The others kicked Luffy, finally silencing him.

However, they soon realized that the whale had opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Going Merry whole. Luffy, using his arms for leverage, managed to escape, climbing through the blowhole.

"Guys, what do you think? I feel like we've been swallowed by the whale!" Sanji said, taking a drag from his cigarette.

After being sucked inside, they had tumbled down to a peaceful stretch of ocean.
