Screen 1 — "The Road to the Grand Line" (Clean Version)
After leaving Loguetown, the Straw Hat Pirates finally reach the legendary entrance to the Grand Line — the Reverse Mountain.
Four oceans — East, West, North, and South Blue — all flow upward along the massive mountain and merge at the summit before rushing down a single, roaring current into the Grand Line.
The Going Merry begins the climb, waves crashing on all sides.
Luffy shouts, "Full speed ahead!"
Nami yells, "You'll sink us, you idiot!"
Ben grips the railing, grinning. "Let's go! Time to see the real adventure!"

Screen 2 — "The Whale at the Gate" (Clean Version)
As the crew battles the raging currents, the Going Merry nearly breaks apart. The wind howls, water floods the deck, and the crew holds on for dear life.
Finally, they reach the top and plunge down the other side — straight into the massive body of a giant whale blocking the exit.
CRASH!
Luffy: "A whale!? We hit a whale!"
Usopp screams, "It's gonna eat us!"
Ben looks up calmly. "Nah… he's not attacking us. Just lost."
Moments later, the ship and crew are swallowed whole. Inside, they find themselves in a strange metal room — the whale's stomach — and meet an old man named Crocus, caretaker of the lighthouse.
Crocus explains the truth.
The whale's name is Laboon — a gentle creature who has been waiting fifty years for the Rumbar Pirates, the crew that left him behind when they entered the Grand Line.
Ben listens quietly, his usual grin fading. "Fifty years… that's loyalty. And heartbreak."
Laboon continues to slam his head against the Red Line wall, trying to break through.
Luffy frowns, walks up to the whale, and punches him.
"Stop hurting yourself!"
Then he paints the Straw Hat Jolly Roger on Laboon's head.
"We'll come back. So wait for us instead."
Laboon lets out a happy cry, finally smiling.
Ben crosses his arms, smiling softly. "A promise that'll echo through the sea."

Screen 3 — "The Log Pose and the Next Adventure" (Clean Version)
Before they leave, Crocus shows the crew a strange device — the Log Pose.
"It doesn't point north," Crocus explains. "It locks onto islands magnetically. That's the only way to survive in the Grand Line."
Nami takes it carefully. "Got it. I'll handle navigation."
Ben leans against the railing. "So the real Grand Line starts now, huh?"
Luffy grins. "Yeah. Next stop — adventure!"
The Going Merry sails off into the mist toward their first Grand Line island — Whiskey Peak.
Ben raises a fist. "New seas, new challenges… I'm ready."
