"Don't let your guard down, everyone!" Nami announced after giving a brutal beating to Zoro. "We don't know what else might happen."

She stood there. Her hands on her hips staring up. "I was finally able to realize the danger out of this sea just now. I was able to understand the reason why it's called the Grand Line."

She rose her hand making a small fist looking determined, "there's no doubt about it since my navigations skills don't work at all!"

"How blunt..." Usopp muttered, "are we gonna be okay?"

Nami grinned, "We'll be fine! Things will still work out for sure."

"In fact..." She pointed ahead. towards the sea, "Look! Our first journey is over."

They had reached a strange looking island, it seemed to have large mountains shaped like cacti.

"It's an island!" Luffy grinned.

"So this is Whisky Peak..." Sanji smiled. "It's a really funny looking island."

"Those cacti are huge!" Luffy exclaimed.

Mr. 9 and Miss. Wednesday hopped on the railing of the Merry facing them.

"Well then, we'll be leaving now." Mr. 9 said.

"Thanks for taking us home, honeys." Miss. Wednesday said.

"If we're linked by fate, we'll meet again!"

The two jumped off the ship, swimming over to their island.

"They're gone." Nami mumbled.

"Why didn't they just wait till we got to the island?" Maki asked staring off into the sea.

"Who knows?" Usopp said. "Who on earth were they anyway?"

"Who cares! We're landing!" Luffy grinned.

"There's a river at the front. Looks like we can go inland by ship." Nami said.

"I-isn't it possible that there're monsters or things like that?" Usopp mumbled shaking a little.

"Let's hope, I'm bored." Maki yawned.

"Well... it's definitely possible, this is the Grand Line." Sanji said.

"If we come across monsters, we can just leave the island." Luffy smiled.

"I see you were paying attention." Maki sighed.

"Don't forget that we have to stay on this island for a certain period of time." Nami reminded.

"Huh? Why?" Luffy asked.

Nami sighed and held up her wrist pointing at the log pose. "Unless we store the magnetism of this island in the log pose, we can't go to the next island."

"Each log requires a unique amount of time. So who knows how long we'll stay." Maki said.

"W-wait! So... let's say it took like... a year? I-is that possible?!" Usopp asked.

"Don't see why not." Maki said.

Usopp panicked, "b-but... what if there's a monster...?"

"Guess we're dead." He shrugged.

"Well, we can think about that when it happens, let's go already!" Luffy grinned.

"Luffy's right." Zoro said walking up to all of them, "let's go. It's not worth thinking about."

"No matter what happens, I'll protect Nami-san." Sanji declared.

"H-hey wait. Listen, everyone. My chronic illness is suddenly... my 'do not go to the island' disease is..." Usopp was she off by Maki.
