"What's that light over there! It's so bright!!" Luffy cries out with his usual enthusiastic outburst as he leaped over to the Sunny's head piece in the front. The surrounding area they were in was cavern-like, with rocky walls The only source of light illuminating in the isolated cave was the opening in front of the Thousand Sunny. Everyone admitted that the light was intriguing. Where did the light come from? Would it be dangerous? And how will the light put them in danger?
They also hoped Luffy wouldn't start rampaging and forcing his crewmates to rush over to the mysterious light. Sanji lifted his cigar from his mouth coolly, stepping forward as the light flashed under him as well. "Well, the captain seems as if we should go to it.." He mumbled to the rest of them. The crew gave heaves of sighs and huffs in complete defeat.
This would always happen, whether it was making their boat go over a crazy steep waterfall. Zoro smirked, lifting himself up from his nap. "Well, we can't really say no, Twirly Brows.We have to deal with it. After all, it's Luffy we are talking bout'.." He said, scratching the back of his hair. The others nodded in agreement. "Dang it, Luffy!" Usopp groaned. Luffy giggled, getting off Sunny's head.
"Alrighty, it's settled! We're going to the weird shiny light, everyone!"
