I 'm forced to postpone any kind of victory celebration as I jump back away from the snapping jaws of the bananagator.

'You can still save our lives, Prince Charming! ' I holler, nearly splashing ass backwards into the thigh high water as it slows my legs.

Luffy clumsily bumps into my side as he slowly slumps inward. I loop one of his arms over my neck, and try to channel whatever the fuck I just did to hook my own arms under his legs and hoist him out of the water.

There 's a series of splashing sounds before Sanji appears in front of the cage and kicks the bananagator so hard it goes flying with a loud crunching sound. He takes a slow hit of his cigarette then holds it out towards us. 'Sorry to keep you all waiting, ' he says with a smirk.

There 's a moment of silence.

'That was hot, ' I blurt.
