SAGA 2 ALABASTA SAGA
ARC 1- REVERSE MOUNTAIN ( EP 62-63 )
To enter the grand line , the crew has to go up a mountain from which water flows upwards due to high speed winds and then go down from the other side which is the start of grand line.. they hold on to the ship and cross the reverse mountain.


Upon entering the grand line , the helm of the ship gets broken due to intense weather. There is fog everywhere.
They hear a voice and sea a silhouette of a mountain at the end of the decent , but when the fog clears , they realise its a giant whale.



Due to a broken helm , they get swallowed by the whale while luffy stretches his hand and manages to get on top the whale where he finds a door and goes through and finds himself in a passage.

The crew finds themselves in front of a small island in the middle of green waters, with a clear blue-sky overhead. On the small island , there is an old man. after a funny sequence , the old man says his name is crocus and he is 71 and a half years old. after another funny sequence (my guy loves a running gag) with crocus , the straw hats ask where is the exit and he points on a door in the sky . Crocus says that he was the one who painted the inside of this whale as he liked having fun.



Then suddenly everything starts to shake and crocus says that "it" has started and reveals that the whale Laboon has started ramming his head on the red line . nami feels sympathy towards the whale as she remembers that it had many scars , they come to the conclusion that crocus might be trying to •••Show the whale from the inside.

Then we see a scene of 2 strangers lurking around with guns.



Crocus dives into the liquid and began swimming deep.
Luffy falls into a tunnel.
The two strangers are behind the exit door crocus said it to be and are happy that their infiltration was a success and they will •••Show crocus. They reveal themselves to be Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday

Crocus emerges on the other side of the door and climbs up Laboon's stomach.
While the 2 people are about to get through , luffy falls on top of them and the gate is opened and they fall into the digestive juice .

Crocus walks to a disclosed area where he kept a giant needle of sedatives and injects it into the whale telling that no matter how much he tries he wont break through.

Luffy along the 2 strangers are saved by the straw hats and crocus stops them 2 from killing laboon to feed their town.

Luffy then knocked them both out.

Crocus thanks him and explains that they are from a nearby town and want the whale's meat to feed their town for 2-3 years

Laboon is an island whale , the largest species of whale, he also states there is a reason as to why he hits the red line which is that he is waiting for a pirate crew for 50 years named "Rumbar Pirates"

The pirates did not wish to bring him along as it would be dangerous for him so they left him in the care of crocus after spending a few months with him to repair their ship , they promised to return back in 3 years .

Crocus reveals that he is a doctor and had been treating him from the inside.

Crocus says that the pirates escaped from the grand line if they were alive. they suggest telling him this as he understands human speech clearly , but crocus says he has tried it but laboon refused to listen.

Luffy breaks going merry's mast and hits laboon with it and fights him declaring it to be a draw , luffy labels laboon as his rival and promises a rematch after he had returned , luffy then paints the jolly roger on laboon's head .



Mr 9 and miss Wednesday escape but drop their log pose, Mr 13 and miss friday suddenly appear and drop bombs on them. luffy picks up the log pose.



Nami learns that usual compasses and common sense does not work in the grand line due to the magnetic fields of various minerals in the grand line.

Crocus reveals that they need a log pose to venture forward and luffy reveals he found one on the ship , log pose readapts to the magnetic field of an island and points toward the next one which will eventually lead them to Laugh Tale.

log pose :

In the chaos due to luffy and sanji fighting over food , the log pose breaks and crocus provides a new one.

Laboon brings out luffy , sanji , Mr 9 and Miss Wednesday out of the sea and the 2 request to travel with the straw hats to their homeland "Whiskey Peak" Luffy agrees even after a warning from Crocus as they tried to •••Show laboon.
