So far the sailing to Fishman Island settled as the ship went deeper into the water until light was growing dimmer.

"How deeply are we submerged now?" Luffy asked, looking up at the top of our bubble ceiling.

"It's getting darker and darker," Usopp agreed.

"We went through the euphotic zone, and we're at the bottom of the twilight zone now," Franky said, glancing up. "We must be more than one thousand meters below."

"At this level, we'll probably start seeing angler fish and sea monsters." Yukiko said.

"It's really quiet," Robin commented. "It feels different from submersibles. It's…more like flying through the sky."

"The sky, huh?" Nami repeated. "Hmm. I have to start using what I studied on Weatheria for two years."

"Whale!" Chopper yelled suddenly. "There is a whale!" He pointed somewhere.

"Laboon! Laboon!" Brook scrambled to the side of the ship as a huge, white whale suddenly swam past us.

"No, that's old man Whitebeard!" Luffy countered.

"No, those are whales or different species." Yukiko said.

Other whales started passing by as they were dark blue creatures blending in with the darkening water quite well.

"Amazing," Yukiko said, awed. "Reminds me of seeing that Wailord pod years ago!"

"Hey, hey, there is no time to relax and watch whales," Usopp muttered. "Seventy percent will sink! Seventy percent! We can't just sit around!"

"Usopp, relax. Nami'll let us know when we're in the clear for the current." Yukiko reassured him.

"I just can't believe we have a less than fifty percent chance to get to Fishman Island," Usopp replied, not taking his eyes off the ocean around us. "Well, at least we don't see any creatures or Sea Kings or obstacles that look dangerous yet."

Suddenly......

"There's a creature at six o' clock!" Chopper yelled making Usopp face the back of the ship.

"Is it a creature? No… Hey, guys! There is a ship kind of thing coming from behind at us!" He yelled.

"What?" Zoro and Sanji asked at once.

"A ship?" Luffy repeated.

"Let me see." Nami pushed past Usopp and moved to the back of the ship.

Sure enough, in the distance, there was a ship.

"It's coming towards us!" Usopp added.

"And It looks like there's something in front of it!" Yukiko frowned as the ship started coming up.

They must've found something to pull them in this fast.

In seconds the ship was ramming into us from the side, causing Sunny to rock as a result of the force.

"It's a pirate ship!" Chopper squealed.

"They're pushing against us!" Usopp added.

"I bet they're trying to force the bubble to pop!" Yukiko called as Usopp made his way back to the main deck. "We have to do something about that now before we're done for!"

"They're gonna come through the bubble!" Nami yelled worriedly.

"Who are they?!" Luffy demanded.

"Whoever they are, they look like they want to see our plans sink," Yukiko said with a frown.
