"Who are you asking about here and there? You barged into my private domain." Crocus said irritably. "Do you loudmouthed brats think this is Nezumi's belly?"

"Since this old man got in here, there must be an exit!" William hurriedly stopped them. Crocus had been the Pirate King's ship doctor, and they were currently inside an Island Whale's stomach. If they offended Crocus here, they really might get digested.
"The exit is right there!" Crocus suddenly pointed at a massive iron door.

Rumor had it that all sorts of bizarre things could happen on the Grand Line, but they had only just entered it. Before they had even begun sailing, they were already struggling to keep up.
"This whale is a lot like William!" the twin sisters, Mary and Anne, suddenly said.
"How is it like me?" William snapped unhappily.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, the stomach acid began to churn violently. If they were not careful, it would not just be someone falling into the stomach acid—the entire ship could capsize
