After escaping the Marines in Loguetown, Nami breaks the news to the rest of the crew that the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain; a waterway going up Reverse Mountain. Usopp is disbelieving of the idea that a ship would be able to climb up a waterway, just as Zoro brings up the idea of just sailing south to get to the Grand Line that way. Just as Nami debunks his idea, the storm suddenly ceases completely, as they've drifted into the Calm Belt; a windless ocean belt that borders the Grand Line on both ends, and is inhabited by massive Sea Kings, who end up flinging the Going Merry about before they crash back into the stormy East Blue.
Now caught in a sea current, the crew resolves to navigate the Going Merry up through the waterway, and even though the steering rudder snapped, Luffy was quick enough to veer the ship on the right course, sending the ship rushing up the waterway and onto the right course down towards the Grand Line, only veiled by a blanket of mist. However, trouble suddenly arises as they face another obstacle in their path... a giant, scarred whale howling to the sky, with the crew in a tight spot due to the broken rudder.
Before they can crash into the whale, Luffy gets the idea to fire the front cannon at the whale to decrease their speed; though it isn't enough to keep the ship from ramming into the whale, only snapping the figurehead off. However, in a fit of rage after the destruction of his special seat, Luffy throws a punch directly at the whale's eye, prompting it to open its maw and swallow the Going Merry whole, with only Luffy narrowly managing to avoid being eaten. His attempts to get the whale to cough his crew up in vain, Luffy discovers a peculiar hatch on the whale's body moments before it submerges.
Inside of the whale, the rest of the crew come upon a peculiar sight; a blue sky and an island with a summer home before them. A giant squid appearing before them is suddenly killed by harpoons, shot out by an old man making his residence in the small village home. He introduces himself as Crocus, the lighthouse keeper of Reverse Mountain, and points out that the pirates were indeed swallowed by the whale. Suddenly, their surroundings start shaking violently, as Crocus laments that the whale is ramming into the Red Line. As he heads off to sedate the whale, the crew prepare to head off.
In the meantime, having found himself in metallic corridors, Luffy is hurled about once the whale's insides start shaking up, crashing straight into a mysterious duo and sending all three of them hurtling directly into the whale's stomach. After fishing the three up, the duo fires directly upon the whale's stomach, but Crocus saves him by taking the cannon shells himself, before Luffy promptly knocks the two of them out.
With that conflict solved, Crocus tells them more about the whale; named Laboon, he came from the West Blue along with a group of pirates about fifty years ago. While they had tried leaving him behind because of the danger the Grand Line posed, he had followed them into the great ocean. After befriending Crocus, the captain asked him to take care of Laboon for a few years, after which they would return.
After sailing out of Laboon and back into the actual sea, the Straw Hat Pirates toss the mysterious duo overboard. After introducing themselves as Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, they promptly swim off, leaving the others to ponder the ultimate fate of Laboon's old crew; Crocus believing that they fled the Grand Line via the Calm Belt after losing hope. He explains that while he did try to tell this truth to Laboon, he refused to listen, and began bellowing towards the mountain and slamming himself against the Red Line as a result. Due to this, Crocus remains adamant in remaining by Laboon's side, to ensure that the whale doesn't end up killing himself.
At that point, though, Luffy suddenly tears off the Going Merry's mast, and begins engaging Laboon in a seemingly random match, much to the shock of everyone else. After a vicious battle between the two of them, however, Luffy suddenly declares that the match is a tie, and that he'll definitely come back after their voyage around the world has finished, so he and Laboon can settle the score; giving Laboon with a new goal to wait for. To mark this promise, Luffy paints the Straw Hat Pirate mark on Laboon's head, covering up most of his scars.
At this point, Nami discovers that their compass has started going haywire, with Crocus explaining that with how the Grand Line is structured, ordinary compasses are useless in the Grand Line, and that they need a Log Pose to navigate from island to island, until eventually reaching the last island of the Grand Line; Raftel, supposedly where Gold Roger left the treasure One Piece. As it turns out, Luffy happened to procure a Log Pose after Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday dropped it when they were tossed overboard, but when it's accidentally shattered thanks to Luffy and Sanji's antics, Crocus offers his own log pose as thanks for aiding Laboon.
Meanwhile, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, while thinking of means to get back both their Log Pose and Laboon, are attacked by The Unluckies; an otter called Mr. 13 and a vulture called Miss Friday; sending them careening into the ocean where they pick themselves up by Reverse Mountain, where they resolve to make a deal with the Straw Hat Pirates. In exchange for leaving Laboon alone, the Straw Hats would take the two of them to their hometown; Whiskey Peak. Luffy agrees to this, and with the new companions at the ready, the Straw Hats bid Crocus and Laboon farewell as they set sail. As they sail off, Crocus comments that Luffy has a certain aura to him, as if he's talking to Gold Roger himself...
