One piece : Mouse town arc

Chapter 4 : New power? and Gary Spongebob Pet Snail?

It was early in the morning, and the town was still quiet. Inside their temporary quarters, SpongeBob SquarePants tossed and turned in his bed. Suddenly, he bolted upright, hearing a strange noise outside. He scratched his head, confused by the mysterious sound.

SpongeBob: "What was that?"

Curious and slightly nervous, he hopped out of bed and looked over at his friends. Patrick was snoring loudly, and Sandy was sleeping peacefully.

SpongeBob: "Patrick! Sandy! Wake up!"

Sandy yawned and stretched, blinking her eyes open.

Sandy: "What in tarnation, SpongeBob? It's barely morning."

SpongeBob: "I heard something strange! We've got to check it out."

Patrick groaned but eventually got up, following his best friend outside. Sandy grabbed her gear and joined them as they ventured into the outskirts of Mouse Town, where the sound seemed to have come from.

As they walked through a dense grove near the edge of the town, they stumbled upon three strange-looking fruits lying on the ground. Each one was unique in shape and color.

Sandy: "Well, I'll be. What kind of fruits are these? They sure don't look like any fruit I've ever seen."

SpongeBob picked up the first fruit, which was shaped like a lightning bolt. Its surface shimmered with sparks of electricity.

SpongeBob: "This one's... kinda shocking!" He grinned, despite not knowing its true power.

Sandy grabbed the second fruit, which looked like a blue pineapple with a yellow top, its surface had a faint ripple pattern, as if it was vibrating.

Sandy: "And this one sure is odd. Looks like it's got some kind of energy in it."

Patrick, of course, grabbed the third fruit, which was the size of a large pear but had a cyan-colored skin. It looked almost otherworldly.

Patrick: "I call dibs on this big pear! I bet it tastes amazing!"

The three friends, without thinking much of it, each took a bite of their respective fruits. Instantly, a look of disgust crossed their faces.

SpongeBob: "Eww! This tastes awful!"

Sandy cringed as well.

Sandy: "Bluh, it's like eating old seaweed."

Patrick, meanwhile, had a slightly different reaction.

Patrick: "Eh, it's not that bad. Medium bad." He took another bite, oblivious to the strange energy surging through his body.

Suddenly, SpongeBob's body began to crackle with electricity. His arms sparked, and small bolts of lightning shot out of his fingers. He blinked in confusion, realizing something was happening to him.

SpongeBob: "Wha—what's happening to me?!"

Sandy, feeling a sudden shift in her own body, watched in horror as the ground around her started to tremble. She clenched her fists, trying to control the immense power welling up inside her.

Sandy: "What in the world... I feel like I could cause an earthquake!"

SpongeBob looked at Patrick, who was strangely calm, not realizing that glowing blue flames had surrounded his body. His skin was no longer pink; instead, it shimmered with the glow of a mythological bird.
