First Line of Defense? Laboon Appears!

Chapter XII: First Line of Defense? Laboon Appears!

[Z’s POV]

     We raced down though the canal, straight into the Grand Line. Going through the clouds, hard winds blowing straight at you, and holding on to the rails for dear life. I’ve only been in the crew for a little while and, so far, …I love being in this crew. While the crew was enjoying the rush wind, a loud groan was heard. I looked around but all I could see was fog.

     “Did you guys just hear something?” Zoro asked.

     “Huh, what’s that?” Nami asked, smiling.

     “That groaning sound. Didn’t you hear it?”

     “I did. It almost sounded like a cry.” I said, standing in front of him.

     “Maybe it was the wind.” Nami said.

     The groan was heard again and an outline came into view. Then Sanji said he sees a mountain. I know that there’s no mountain, but-

     “Who cares?! GO!!” Luffy yelled, not giving a shit about the soon-to-be obstacle coming into view.

     Soon we were out of the clouds and the outline was much clearer. It wasn’t a mountain or a black wall. It was-

     “-a huge whale!” Usopp yelled.

     Everyone was panicking because a giant whale was blocking our path. Zoro shouted that we could get by on the left. But, like Usopp pointed out, the rudder’s broken. Zoro went to help Usopp and Sanji, while Nami was just standing there, praying that we get though this. Luffy thought of a good idea and went into a room. I was going to help the guys but my head started hurting. It was pounding and my eyes felt like they were on fire. It felt like something was going to come out of my eyes. Then, the cannon was fired and the target…was the whale.

     “THE CANNON?!” Everyone, besides me and Luffy, shrieked.

     I sank to the ground, still holding my head in pain, and looked where’s Merry’s head was suppose to be. Luffy is going to be pissed. Even though I already know what’s going to happen and know the outcome, I can’t really do anything about this stupid headache. ‘What happen in the episode again? Oh, right! This big guy is Laboon! I can’t believe I forgot!’ Everyone was silent; everything was still. No one moved; but waited to see what the beast will do. After a couple seconds of silence, Zoro broke it by saying, “Damn! Let’s get out of here before it’s to late!”

     They pulled out the huge paddles and rowed the boat as fast as they could. Zoro on the right; Usopp and Sanji on the left. Again, I could of helped, if it wasn’t for this strong headache. Usually I just brush it off but this one was stubborn. Laboon groaned again and, let me tell you, being a few yards away from its mouth can really~ shatter your ears…or make a headache 10x worse! Sanji yelled in pain but Usopp kept telling him to paddle. Luffy came back out and was looking, more like glaring in my position, at the whale as we drifted by.
