The Straw Hat Pirates clung desperately to anything within reach as the Going Merry violently surged upward, engulfed by thick, wet clouds.

“Can’t… breathe…!” Luffy wheezed, his voice muffled by the dense mist. The air felt heavy and suffocating as if the very atmosphere was trying to crush them.

Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the ship broke free from the oppressive cloud cover.

“PWAH!” Nami gasped, collapsing onto the soaked wooden deck. Her breaths came in ragged gulps, her hair plastered to her face from the moisture.

“Cough… ha… hah…” Sanji struggled to sit up, his clothes drenched as he doubled over, trying to catch his breath.

“Cough… cough…!” Chopper spiraled across the deck, shaking his tiny hooves to clear his head.

“Damn… what just happened?” Zoro groaned, slowly pushing himself upright, his green hair dripping with water. He scanned the deck for signs of his crewmates.

“Is everyone alright?” Y/N called out, his voice laced with concern as he darted his eyes around the group.

“HEY! HEY, LOOK, YOU GUYS!!” Luffy’s voice broke through the haze, his energy seemingly limitless as he clambered onto the ship’s railing. His wide-eyed grin shone as he pointed toward the horizon.

Everyone followed his gaze, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

“Clouds…?” Y/N muttered, his voice filled with awe. His eyes widened as he took in the surreal sight before him. The Going Merry was floating—no, sailing—on a vast, shimmering sea of clouds. The golden sunlight glinted off the soft, white expanse, stretching endlessly in every direction. The crew was suspended in the sky, far above the world they knew.

“How… how is this possible?” Nami stammered, leaning over the railing. Her trembling hands gripped the wood tightly as if afraid it might disappear beneath her. “We’re sailing… on top of clouds?!”

“Of course we can sail on top of it! They’re just clouds!” Luffy declared with the utmost confidence, as if the impossible world around them were completely ordinary. His furrowed brows betrayed a mix of excitement and slight frustration that no one else seemed to share his enthusiasm.

“No, that’s impossible!!” Sanji, Zoro, and Y/N shouted in unison, their skepticism cutting through the bizarre serenity. They waved him off as if dismissing his naivety would make this reality make sense.

“This is bad!” Chopper’s frantic voice cut through the moment. His small hoof pointed shakily at Usopp, who was sprawled across the deck. “Usopp isn’t breathing!!”

“What?!” Y/N whipped around, heart racing, to see Usopp lying motionless, a comical lump on his head and his face pale.

“Think of something! Do CPR!” Luffy shouted, his usual carefree tone replaced by genuine urgency.
