The whale hit his head on the walls of red line as the crew inside it was freaking out.

Usopp and Nami said how the man was killing it from inside but Alice thought there was something else to it.

"Okay, we know the answer to this mystery, we'd better go. We'll lose our ship if we stay too long" Zoro spoke
"Well, I don't want to start up the whaling debate, but I feel no obligation to save this whale. Let's get out of here!" Sanji replied but Alice was conflicted on what to do since luffy wasn't here.

The whale was still ramming his head as the the acid created waves pushing merry back and forth, immobiling it.

"Hey! With all this sloshing going on, we can't reach the exit!" Nami exclaimed holding onto the rail.

Alice turned towards the sea of acid yelled out.
"Is somebody there!?"

"Who are you calling?" Zoro asked her looking as if she lost her mind.
"Something in the sea of this acid. If the squid was here then maybe something else is here too so what if it could help us?" She replied and turned to Usopp when he spoke

"If we don't get out of here, we could all be killed! And luffy, too! I don't think he's here in the stomach. I saw him get tossed out of the whale's mouth!"

"If he is outside..." Alice mumbled before thinking she should do something.

There was splash and they turned towards it to see the man missing.

"Hey!! The old man jumped in!!" Usopp yelled before Alice turned to the door and tried to come up with a plan
"What is he doing? He'll get dissolved!"

"The old man is heading to the exit! We need to row! This is our only chance!" She yelled and at the same time the whale let out a loud sound.
"Woah.."

"come back...." Alice muttered looking at the doors.

With the help of Alice's orders and Nani's instructions they neared the door and soon a yell was heard and they turned there head towards the source.

"This isn't good, Ms, Wednesday. That's a stomach acid under us!" A man yelled which earned a 'nooo' from the said female.

But Alice immediately recognised the third person, ignoring the two people who came in first.

"LUFFYY!!!" She yelled in delight with a grin.

"Ahh- Hey! So you're okay! Then save me!" He said and crashed into the stomach acid and Alice followed soon after.
"O-Oi, Alice!"

As she dived in she saw luffy holding his breath but let it go when he saw Alice as if he tried to tell her name but only resulted in him drowning more.

Shit! Luffy!

She swam and wrapped her arm around his waist and started to swam back up. Luffy started to cough out water when they resurfaced.

"You alright?" She asked worriedly
"Hahaha! Of course, I am!" He replied grinning to ease his sister.

Alice pov (been a while)

"Who are you guys?!" Luffy asked sitting on the railing. The two people from before sat between us as Sanji crouched beside the lady gawking at her.

They muttered something but I heard it and I didn't felt good intentions from them. But I feel like the lady is tired.

"Yes we are pirates. But if you are up to no good then we wouldn't be sure about understanding" I said while staring at them blankly.

They flinched without even looking at me.

"AS LONG AS I LIVE... YOU'LL NEVER HARM LABOOM!!" A voice yelled out, turning towards it I saw it was Crocus San.

"Who's the old man?" Luffy asked
"He's back" Usopp muttered.

They started to chuckle while loading their weapons.
"Oh yeah? But we are ready in his stomach!" The male said before lifting the weapon
"THERE'S NOTHING TO STOP US FROM BLASTING A HOLE, RIFHT THROUGH IT'S INSIDE!" they yelled as shot the cannon
"YOU CAN'T STOP US FROM WHALING!"

"You no-good bullies!"

Crocus san ran forward to protect Whale san from the cannon blast which cleared all my conflicts on what I should do but he was now hurt. Badly.

"Crocus San!" I yelled and jumped to help him out

I put his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm strong, so you should lean your weight on me so you won't cause more damage to your body"
and pulled him towards his resort.

I was wrapping a bandage on his arm which was wounded. How? I don't have a clue.

"Laboon is an island whale, a species that only in the west blue. They're the biggest whale's in the world" He spoke and tried pulling away his hands but a glare from me stopped him.

"Those creeps are from a nearby village. They're after laboon's whale meat. They could feed their whole village for two or three years on his flesh. But I won't let them do it!" He said before looking at the painted sky. "There's a reason he keeps pounding against the red line...and crying towards reverse mountain"

I sat beside Sanji watching luffy climbing the coconut tree but failing before falling to my side and laid my head comfortably on Sanji's lap as he smiled and started to massage my head.

"One day, When I was a lighthouse keeper, a friendly bunch of pirates came down reverse mountain. And behind their ship came a little whale. It was Laboon" He said which made me stare at the sky in awe

Baby Laboon? He must me adorable!

3rd pov

Unknown to her, she said it out loud, quietly, and Sanji heard it.
Well, you are most adorable in the world.
He thought with a smile and continued his massage.

"We're going to circum navigate the world and return here"

"Laboon understood, so we waited here together" He finished his story and by now Alice was laying completely limp on Sanji's lap, blankly staring ahead.

"That's why he keeps banging against the cliffs and calling to the other side but then....That was 50 years ago" Now that made Alice shot up and look at Crocus wanting him to say 'Sike, bitch!' but it never came.

"He still thinks his friends are coming back"

Alice could relate to it but it was opposite situation for her. She was taken away from her home which caused her to miss her home so much that it almost killed her from heartbreak if it wasn't for a certain friends of hers.

She felt like, as if someone was tearing her heart and laughing at her. She cried and begged but nothing happened.

Laboon let out a sound again and this time Alice was able to block out most of the loud sound and heard the little of the whale's noise.

"Let me out of here!!"

Crocus turned some wheels around and the exit door opened leading them to fresh air away from the stomach acid.

"WOW! WE'RE OUTSIDE! A REAL SKY!" Luffy yelled out in delight

"Hey, Zoro! What about them?" Alice asked while motioning to the two people with her head on board since she isn't supposed to point.

"Throw them overboard"

"It isn't polite but since they were trying to hurt Laboon san, then I guess I will do it" Alice replied and did as he said which earned her a glare from them to which she glared at them harder which in return made there glare falter.

Nami asked if it was okay to just let them go since they would come back for Laboon again and Crocus replied that no matter what they do, some no-good whalers are sure to show up.

After they sat down on the shore Crocus told them how the pirates that Laboon traveled with had fled away and left Laboon. Alice couldn't understand how someone could just straight up just betray someone who have there completely undivided trust but she learnt hard way that the world isn't kind and generous like some people she met but that didn't let her faith in people destroy. Tho, she wouldn't be bothered if someone did that.

"Laboon turned towards reverse mountain and began to wail. Then we started ramming the red line with his head. It's as if he were convinced that any day now, the pirates would return from behind the mountain. I've tired explaining it to him many times. But he refuses to face the truth"

Alice frowned, feeling she related to Laboon.

She was wondering around the seas and islands trying to find her brothers but she was faced with obstacles instead. She believed that her brothers would find her and take her with them even after years, her faith never wevered and finally was reunited with her brother.

She wanted to tell Laboon to hold onto his faith but what if this pirate crew actually betrayed him? She couldn't just lie to him to make him feel better.

"Look at those scares on his forehead. If he continues to ram his head then he will die"

Alice attention was pulled away from her thoughts to luffy who was screaming while running up the whale with the mast of merry.

When did he break the mast?! And why!!!

"Gomu-Gomu no Bouquet!!"

I'm sorry for not being regular, but I'm pretty busy so I will try my best
