Screen 1
The Going Merry began climbing the powerful current of Reverse Mountain. Huge waves slammed against the ship as the crew struggled to control it. The ship shook violently while the water rushed upward toward the Grand Line.
Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji tried to hold the ropes and keep the ship steady, but the strong current made it difficult.
Seeing the situation, Sonic moved quickly across the deck. He grabbed loose ropes, tightened the sails, and secured the barrels before they could slide across the ship.
Then Sonic dashed from one side of the deck to the other, helping the crew stabilize the Going Merry while the ship fought against the powerful waves of Reverse Mountain.
Screen 2
After crossing Reverse Mountain, the Going Merry finally entered the Grand Line. But suddenly the ship crashed into something enormous in the water.
Before anyone could react, the crew realized they had accidentally sailed straight into the mouth of a giant whale named Laboon.
Inside the whale, the crew looked around in confusion at the strange space around them.
Sonic stared upward in shock. "Wait… we're inside a whale?"
He looked around at the massive walls around them and added, "The Grand Line is already this crazy?"
Screen 3
Inside the whale, the crew discovered something unexpected. There was a small house built inside, and an old man living there.
The man introduced himself as Crocus. He calmly watched the crew as they looked around in surprise.
Sonic crossed his arms and looked at the strange place. "A house inside a whale… the Grand Line really is different."
After hearing Crocus talk about the seas and pirates, Sonic thought quietly for a moment and said, "So even the Pirate King passed through places like this."
Screen 4
Crocus calmly explained the story of the giant whale. Laboon had been waiting at the Red Line for fifty years, repeatedly striking the wall because it was waiting for a group of pirates who had promised to return someday.
Crocus added that those pirates were unlikely to ever come back after so many years.
The crew listened quietly to the story.
Sonic looked at the whale for a moment and then at Crocus. "You stayed here all this time just to watch over Laboon?"
Crocus nodded calmly.
Sonic gave a small nod of respect. "That takes patience."

Screen 5
Seeing Laboon's pain and frustration, Luffy suddenly jumped forward and challenged the giant whale. The crew watched in shock as Luffy struck Laboon and declared a fight.
After the clash, Luffy made a bold promise. He told Laboon that one day he would return and fight it again, giving the whale a new reason to wait. Instead of hitting the Red Line in sadness, Laboon would now wait for that future rematch.
Sonic watched the moment quietly from the side of the ship.
Seeing Luffy turn Laboon's pain into hope made Sonic respect him even more.
Sonic crossed his arms and said with a small smile, "That's a strange way to help… but it worked."
Screen 6
After Luffy made his promise, Laboon slowly calmed down. The giant whale watched the crew quietly, no longer striking the Red Line in anger.
Sonic stepped forward and looked up at the massive whale.
He gently placed his hand against Laboon's skin and said, "Don't worry. We'll come back for you."
Laboon seemed to understand. The whale gave a soft sound and appeared calmer and happier as it looked at the crew.
Screen 6
Crocus looked at Sonic carefully for a moment and then spoke. "You remind me of an old story I once heard. A legendary alien with incredible speed, two legs, and a kind heart."
The crew looked at Sonic with surprise after hearing that.
Sonic blinked for a second and then scratched the back of his head.
"Well… I guess that's not completely wrong," Sonic said with a small smile. "I am from another world after all."
Screen 7
Crocus showed the crew a special device used for navigating the Grand Line. It was called a Log Pose, a compass that slowly adjusts to the magnetic fields of each island. Without it, traveling through the Grand Line would be nearly impossible.
Nami carefully held the Log Pose and listened closely to Crocus's explanation.
Sonic watched the device with curiosity and said, "So this thing is the only way to know where the next island is?"
Nami nodded.
Sonic smiled slightly. "Good thing we have a navigator."
