Screen 1 — Middle of the Sea
The sun burned bright over the calm blue sea. The Straw Hat crew drifted on their small boat, rocking gently in the waves.
Zoro leaned back with an exhausted groan. "I'm starving… I could eat a Sea King right now."
Papyrus stood proudly. "Worry not! I, the great Papyrus, shall catch us some fish!" He dove into the sea with confidence, his bones gleaming in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, Luffy pointed up excitedly. "Whoa! Look at that bird!"
It wasn't just any bird—it was enormous, towering over the waves like a moving cloud with wings.
"I'll catch it!" Luffy shouted, stretching his arm high. But before he could react, the giant bird swooped down and snatched him away!
"Luffy!" Zoro yelled, jumping to his feet.
Sans clenched his jaw. "Heh… classic Luffy." His left eye glowed bright blue as a Gaster Blaster appeared beside him, firing a beam into the sky to chase the bird.
Papyrus surfaced from the water, holding a net full of fish. "Did I miss something?"
"Yeah," Zoro muttered, rowing hard. "Our captain got kidnapped by a chicken."
Papyrus gasped. "A GIANT CHICKEN?!"
As their boat rushed forward, they spotted three pirates floating in the sea near a broken ship. Zoro helped pull them aboard.
One of them raised a sword, trembling. "This is our boat now!"
Papyrus cracked his fingers and summoned glowing bones around him. "You dare threaten the great Papyrus?"
The pirates froze, eyes wide at the tall, talking skeleton. "A–a living skeleton!? Please don't hurt us!"
Zoro crossed his arms. "We're not here to fight. We just want answers."
One pirate swallowed hard. "We're Buggy's men…"
Zoro frowned. "Who's Buggy?"
The pirate gasped. "You don't know Captain Buggy? He's the clown pirate with the power of the Bara Bara no Mi! He can split his body apart and control the pieces! You can't cut him!"
Sans tilted his head. "Sounds like a headache."

Meanwhile, far above, Luffy was still dangling from the giant bird, laughing like an idiot. "This is awesome!"
On a distant ship, Buggy's pirates spotted the sight.
"Captain Buggy! There's a man flying on a bird—and skeletons chasing him!"
Buggy paled. "Skeletons? Dinosaurs? What is this, a nightmare?!"
"Should we fire the cannons?"
"YES! FIRE EVERYTHING! SHOOT THE SKY IF YOU HAVE TO!"
Cannonballs blasted into the air, exploding near the bird. Sans teleported midair, his Gaster Blaster firing back, colliding with the cannon fire. Explosions filled the sky in flashes of orange light.
Luffy finally broke free, crashing into the sea below. Sans dropped beside him, landing easily on the waves.
"Heh," Sans muttered. "Next time, let's not fight gravity."
Their blasters vanished as the rest of the crew arrived by boat.

Screen 2 — Orange Town
The Straw Hats reached land at last — the ruined port town of Orange Town.
Luffy stretched his arms, yawning. "Finally! Solid ground!"
Zoro tightened his bandana. "We should find this Buggy guy."
Papyrus spun dramatically. "And maybe some food!"
Sans teleported a few steps ahead, accidentally bumping into Luffy and landing a light punch.
"Ow! Why'd you hit me?!" Luffy barked.
Sans sighed. "Because you're an idiot, that's why."
Just then, they noticed a flash of orange hair darting between the alleys.
Luffy pointed. "Hey! Who's that?"
Sans squinted. "Looks like a thief… or maybe our next crewmate."
The girl turned, revealing a confident grin. It was Nami, the future navigator.
