The ship sped down the mountain, but the crew soon encountered a massive obstacle blocking the exit of the waterway. To their shock, they realized the obstruction was a colossal whale. Zoro spotted a small opening on the deep left side of the waterway and devised a plan to steer the ship through the gap. However, their efforts to change the course using the damaged rudder proved futile.
In the midst of this crisis, Luffy came up with an idea to slow down the ship’s speed. He fired a cannon directly at the gigantic whale, which indeed slowed the ship, but it came at a cost – the ship’s front was badly damaged. An irritated Luffy, frustrated by the destruction of the ship, punched the whale right in the eye.
Startled, the whale opened its enormous mouth, intending to swallow the ship whole. In the chaos, Luffy lost his balance and was tossed high into the sky.
As Luffy soared through the air, he soon realized that the whale had indeed swallowed the ship, and he now found himself standing on the back of the massive creature. The whale began to descend underwater, but Luffy noticed a small iron gate and made his way inside. What he found was utterly bizarre—a hallway within the belly of the whale.
Meanwhile, the ship, now trapped within the whale, came across an island with a small house. Suddenly, they were attacked by a colossal squid. Before anyone could react, a three-headed arrow tied to a rope emerged, striking and killing the squid. A mysterious figure began to drag the defeated squid towards the small house.
