NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60: CH 60
"Hi whale!" Luffy yelled as he waved at it.
"What is he doing?!" Alvida shouted.
"Whale!" Luffy shouted again.
"Luffy will you stop that?!" Zoro shouted at him. Luffy just got an annoyed look. He knew his crew would kill him, but this was something he had to do.
"I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Luffy shouted before socking Laboon in the eye.
"YOU MORON!" they all shouted at him with tears in their eyes. Everyone waited as Luffy's arm retracted before Laboon looked down at them. "IT SEES US!"
"Hiya Whale!" Luffy yelled as he waved at Laboon. "I'm Luffy. What's your na-" "STOP TALKING TO THE WHALE!" Zoro, Usopp, and Gin shouted as they kicked Luffy away. It didn't help since Laboon groaned angrily before opening it's large mouth as the water seemed to flow into it's mouth like a black hole.
"Please...no." Nami said as tears started rolling down her face. Soon the ship was caught in the current as it started heading toward Laboon's mouth. As they did, Luffy got knocked overboard but used his moonstep to stay out of the water as Laboon closed his mouth.
"Alright then." Luffy said as he was hopping in the air and looking around on Laboon. "Where's that hatch?" He looked around a bit more before he saw the hatch he used last time before jumping down to it, opening it, jumping inside, and sealing it shut. "There we go. Now, to join the others."

"We got eaten by a whale, right?" Usopp asked. Everyone was staring around in a surprisingly calm fashion. "No doubt about it big bro Usopp." Johnny said.
"If that's so," Gin asked as he looked up and saw the sky. "Why are we back outside?"
"In one way, out the other?" Yosaku said, earning a fist from the female Straw Hats.
"SHUT UP!" they shouted.
"There's even an island over there." Sanji said as they saw an island inside with a palm tree. While they were trying to figure out what happened, a giant squid appeared in front of the ship. Before they could attack it, something shot at it from behind and killed it. Everyone looked to see an old man with a flower around his head staring back at them. They began, or tried to, have a chat with the old man, but only ended up getting annoyed to no end by him. They eventually found out his name was Crocus before they found out that they were still in the whale's stomach, and that the sky, clouds, and birds were all a painting that he made. He began to explain until the whole place started shaking, revealing that the island was a floating ship with an iron bottom.

Luffy was being bounced around inside the iron hall as he tried to walk through it. He didn't know why last time, but couldn't stop laughing this time.
"This is fun!" he said before he landed next to a riverway. "Alright. I got here and then-" he said before the place tilted and he started sliding away. "Right. This way!" he said as he stood up and started running down the corridor. He kept running until he saw two figures up ahead. One was a man with a crown on his head and 9's on his cheeks. The other was a face he hadn't seen in a long time: Vivi. "GANGWAAAAAAAY!" Luffy shouted, scaring the shit out of both of them before bursting through the door. Soon, all three were falling toward an ocean of stomach acid as Luffy saw his ship and crew below, who were looking up at him in confusion. "Hi guys. A little help here!" he said before falling into the stomach acid. "Luffy?!" Zoro shouted before he, Johnny, and Yosaku jumped in after them. They pulled them on board. While this was happening, Crocus had left for a moment to give Laboon a sedative to calm him down and to keep him from bashing his head against the Red Line.
"Looks like the whale's calmed down." Nami said as Luffy and the other two were now breathing up on deck.
"Looks that way." Zoro said before looking at their 'guests'. "Now who are you two? Talk!" he said as Sanji was now drooling over the sight of Vivi.
"Mr.9," Vivi whispered. "These heathens are pirates."
"I can see that Miss Wednesday." Mr. 9 whispered back. "But if we speak to their humanity and compassion, they should understand our problem. Maybe."
"You insects still here?!" Crocus yelled from atop an iron platform. "I'm getting tired of this and for the last time. So long as I draw breath, you will NOT harm Laboon!" Both Mr.9 and Vivi began to laugh.
"You won't stop our mission." Vivi said in conceited tone as she grabbed her bazooka.
"We were sent to kill this whale and that's what we're gonna do!" Mr. 9 said as they both raised them into the air.
"TIME TO GIVE THIS WHALE A NEW BLOW-HOLE!" they said in unison. "FIRE BABY!" they shouted, not knowing that Luffy appeared behind them and aimed their bazookas at each other right as they pulled the triggers. All three of them were caught in an explosion as everyone stared in shock. The smoke cleared to show all three were burnt by the blast. Luffy was okay while the other two stood in a daze before falling over out cold.
"I like this whale." Luffy said. "Leave him alone." he said. Crocus smiled at that before inviting them to his island.
"So who are these two anyway?" Nami asked. "Just some thugs who want to kill Laboon for food." Crocus said as he went back to his paper while sitting in a lawn chair. "Laboon could feed their greedy bellies for 2-3 years."
"Laboon?" Nami asked.
"The whale." Crocus said. "A rare species of whale called an Island Whale that comes from the West Blue. I won't let them kill him for food."
"How'd he get here then?" Nojiko asked. Crocus looked at them before explaining how he came down Reverse Mountain with a group of pirates, despite them trying to leave him behind for his own safety. They played and fought for three months while repairing their ship, but had to part ways since the Grand Line would be too dangerous. They left Laboon to Crocus, promising to come back when their journey was over.
"That was 50 years ago." Crocus said sadly.
"50 years?!" Sanji said in shock. "He's been waiting that long?!" Usopp asked with his jaw wide open.
