Chapter 6 - chapter 6

Screen 1

[Scene: Baratie, early morning after the fight]

The ocean's calm again, but the Straw Hats look shocked as they see the empty horizon — the Going Merry is gone.

Luffy: "Nami… took our ship."

Zoro: "Tch. I knew she was acting weird."

Sanji: "No way she'd just leave… there's gotta be a reason."

Papyrus: (arms flailing) "WHAT!? SHE STOLE OUR BEAUTIFUL SHIP? HOW DARE SHE! THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY ROOM FOR PASTA STORAGE!"

Sans: (hands in pockets, calm) "heh… guess she's got a skeleton in her closet after all."

Usopp: "Sans, this isn't funny!"

Sans: "nah, i'm serious. if she really wanted to ditch us, she wouldn't leave this many clues behind."

[Scene: Inside Baratie, later that day]

Luffy helps clean dishes as Zeff talks.

Zeff: "That woman—Nami. She didn't look like a traitor to me. There's something behind those eyes."

Luffy: "Then I'm going to find her."

Sans: "figured you'd say that, captain."

Papyrus: "OF COURSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL ASSIST IN THIS RESCUE MISSION!"

Zoro: "You just want to yell hero speeches again."

Papyrus: "...MAYBE."

[Scene: The small dock outside Baratie]

A tiny boat bumps against the pier. Yosaku collapses out of it, injured.

Yosaku: "I saw her! That girl—Nami! She's heading to Arlong Park!"

Sans: (eye glowing blue faintly) "arlong park, huh? sounds like trouble."

Papyrus: "THEN WE SHALL FACE IT HEAD-ON! EVIL SHALL TREMBLE BEFORE OUR BONES!"

Luffy: (grinning) "Yeah! Let's go get our crewmate back!"

Sanji: "And our ship."

Zoro: "And maybe some peace and quiet."

Sans: "don't count on that."

Screen 2 [Scene: Baratie Dock – early morning mist covers the sea]

Zoro and Yosaku prepare a tiny boat, loading food and weapons.

Zoro: "We can't wait for Luffy. If Nami's really in trouble, we need to move now."

Yosaku: "Yeah! Arlong's no joke, man! That guy's a monster!"

Luffy: "Go ahead! I'll catch up once the restaurant's fixed!"

Zoro nods and pushes the boat out.

[Cut to: Sans and Papyrus watching from the pier]

Papyrus: "WAIT! ARE WE JUST LETTING THEM GO ALONE!? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIBLE IDEA!"

Sans: (hands in pockets) "nah, it's fine. zoro can handle himself… mostly."

He pauses. "but still. feels wrong to sit here doing nothing."

Papyrus: "EXACTLY! THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL NEVER ABANDON A COMRADE IN NEED!"

Sans: "heh, figured you'd say that."

Sans looks out at the sea. The mist rolls across the water like a ghostly blanket.

Sans: "you know, bro… i get the feeling this 'arlong park' ain't exactly a theme park."

Papyrus: "THEN WE'LL BRING THE FUN OURSELVES!"

Papyrus strikes a heroic pose, pointing to the horizon. "ONWARD, TO JUSTICE AND NAMI'S REDEMPTION!"

Sans: (snapping his fingers) "guess we're hitchin' a ride."

---

[Cut to: The two skeletons in a small raft made of Baratie crates]

Papyrus is paddling furiously with a ladle he stole from the kitchen.

Sans is lying on his back, napping with his hoodie up.

Papyrus: "SANS! YOU COULD AT LEAST HELP ROW!"

Sans: "nah, i'm providing moral support. besides, the wind's got bones of its own."

Papyrus: "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!"

Sans: "doesn't have to."

---

[End Scene – wide shot of the ocean]

Zoro and Yosaku's small boat sails ahead.

Far behind, a clumsy raft made of kitchen crates bobs across the waves — with Papyrus shouting orders and Sans pretending to steer with telekinesis.

Sans: "hang on, nami. we're comin'. hope you don't mind a few skeletons crashing your party."

Screen 3

Luffy and Sanji finally arrive after getting directions from Yosaku.

Once they get there, the full Straw Hat crew reunites to take on Arlong together.
