Your POV:

"Luffy... Your pet ? Are you serious ? I already told you on the island, you can't just take in every stray animal you come across, we can't feed them !"

Usopp: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY, LUFFY ?!

Luffy: Let's tame that big octopus and have him pull our ship !

Chopper: DON'T BE STUPID !!

Usopp: LOOK A BIT CLOSER !! HECK, YOU DON' EVEN HAVE TO LOOK CLOSE TO SEE THE SIZE OF THAT THING !! I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS IT MUST HAVE BEEN ALIVE... BUT THE KRAKEN IS A LEGENDARY MONSTER THAT SHOWS UP IN STORIES ALL ACROSS THE WORLD !!

Brook: "The boneless beast" and the "Bodiless bones"... It's almost like looking at a counterpart of myself...

Usopp: WHO CARES ?!

Franky: Hm ! You're pretty good at that !

Robin: Well, this isn't something you see every day.

Chopper: YOU'RE SKETCHING IT ?! HOW LAID-BACK ARE YOU ?!

Zoro: It's all very well saying that... But do you have a strategy, Luffy... ?

"And if you really want to have it pull the ship, one that doesn't kill it would be better."

Luffy: Right, the problem is that we're underwater...

Usopp: No, no, no... The problem is the size of that thing, Luffy ! It could murder us in or out of the water !!

Nami: Set a course due South !!

Luffy: Hey, Nami ! We should be heading for the octopus !!

Nami: Don't be ridiculous !! Take a look at the ships it's holding !! Do you want to end up like that ?!

Sanji: Now, now, Nami-san ! i'm here to- Bmmphrghh ! To protect you !!

Usopp: HE HELD IT INNN !! GOOD GOING, SANJI !!

Chopper: It must be thanks to the rehabilitation and coat Nami's wearing !

Caribou: 'What's wrong with these people ?! In a situation like this, shouldn't they all be concentrating on fleeing for their lives ?! I've gotta do something, or I'll be doomed along with this whole ship !!'

*MOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Coribou: BIG BRO DUUUUDE !!

"Something's approaching from the rear... These guys again, seriously ?! They just don't know when to quit !!"

Caribou: CORIBOUUUU !! MY GLORIOUS CREW !! HAVE YOU COME BACK TO SAVE MEEE ?!!

Coribou: WE'RE !! GONNA !! SAVE !! BIG BRO DUDE !!

Crew: UH-HUH !! UH-HUH !! WE'RE GONNE SAVE HIM !!

"... Dunno what exactly they were expecting here..."

Usopp: IT DESTROYED THE BUBBLE COATING !! IT CRUSHED A SHIP BIGGER THAN THE SUNNY IN AN INSTANT !!

Caribou: AAAAAARGHHH !! MY MEEEEN !!

Zoro: They look like jellyfish.

Caribou: SHADDUP, RORONOA !!

"Not wanting to make anyone panic here, but he's swinging our way now !!"

Luffy: Gear Third !

Zoro: ... ...

Usopp: QUIT IT, YOU TWO !! BIG ATTACKS WILL JUST BREAK THE BUBBLE !!

Franky: We're dodging it !! Chicken Voyage !!

Nami: Franky !! Let's use the Coup de Burst to charge straight into the downward current !! It should let us get away !!

Franky: No... I considered that, but there's just one super problem ! The Coup de Burst and Gaon cannon are both weapons that fire large quantities of air, but right now, we're underwater !! Our supply of air is limited ! If we start shooting it around, the bubble around the ship will shrink !!

Nami: Of course... !! But then what now ?!

Luffy: Don't do anything !! Let's just fight it !!

Chopper: Don't do that, Luffy !! You'll break the bubble !!

Usopp: can't you do anything ?!

"... ... Usopp, do you have any idea how awful a beam works underwater ?"

Caribou: IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT IT THAT BAD... THEN I'LL LEND YOU A HAND, STRAWHAT LUFFY !! 'If I don't help 'em out, these idiots will get us all killed !!'

Caribou: That should do it !! This is called Instant Flutter-kick coating !!

Sanji: What the... ?!

Caribou: It's basically like a diving suit !! You listening ?! This rope will be your one and only lifeline !! All you gotta do is leap straight out of the ship, and you'll be able to do battle all you like without having to worry about damaging your vessel !!

Usopp: DON'T STICK YOUR NOSE IN WHERE IT'S NOT WANTED !! WE ALREADY DECIDED TO GET OUT OF HERE !! THIS IS GOING TO MEAN WE END UP FIGHTING IT INSTEAD !!

Caribou: 'I've been saying we should run since I first saw that thing !! It's that captain of yours who won't listen to a word of it !! He's going to go wild either way, so better outside the ship than onboard it, am I right ?!'

"... ... Yeah, he completely circled Luffy's personality already."

Usopp: ... ... OKAY !! YOU GO FOR IT, LUFFY !! GO AS FAR AS YOU WANT !!

Nami: If you're going to fight, then stay away from the ship, all right ?! I mean it !!

Luffy: ... This rope sure is a pain...

Nami: Ehh ?! Hold on !! You can't go leaping out without a lifeline !! You won't be able to get back !!

Luffy: My only lifeline is right here ! Protect the ship !!

"Oh, stop that, you're gonna make me blush !"

Sanji: Nami-san is warrying about me... Worrying about... Bmmphrghh !

Luffy: But some time for me, okay, you guys ?! Then I'll take it out with a big one !

Zoro: Not if I take it out first !

Luffy: No ! You'd just slice it up !! We're going to keep that octopus !! It's mine !!

"... Alright, let's now focus on the main issue at hand. It being still being under attack by that Octopus."

Usopp: IT'S STILL COMING FOR UUUUS !!

"Yes, quite. Would someone attack it while I hold it in place ? Franky ?"

Franky: Leave that to me !! Frankyyyy...

*B-TOOOOOOOOOM*

Usopp: That blasted it away !! That's what I call firepower !!

"There's another one coming ! That big guy is relentless !!"

Chopper: WHAT'S GOT AGAINST UUUUS ?! GUARD POINT !!

*BOOMPH*

Usopp: ... ... We survived !!

Chopper: Guys !! Are you okay ?!

Nami: Good job !! That's incredible, Chopper !!

"Don't rejoice now ! That hot didn't cause any damage, but it sent us straight for an underwater maintain ! Impact incoming !!"

Robin: We may be underwater... But if it's only for an instant... Mil Fleur !! GIGANTESCO MANO !!

Usopp: Whoaaaa !! Those hands are huge !! That's Robin for you !! We're saved !!

"Okay, enough of this ! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 !! Six tentacles immobilized, you guys have all the leeway to pound that octopus all you want !!"

Luffy: Got that !! GEAR THIRD !! ARMAMENT REINFORCEMENT !! Urghhhhhhh... The sea... Is draining... My energy... !!

Sanji: That damn octopus... Is it trying to stop him before he can do anything ?

Brook: Eh ?! Sanji-san just popped right out of his bubble !!

Usopp: And what the heck's with that speed ?! He's like a fishman !!

Sanji: 'Running... And running... !! I spent two long years running from those hideous people... ! You call this a monster ? Hah ! It's just a cute plushie compared to them !' Diable Jambe !! Bien cuit !! GRILL SHOT !!

Kraken: *MHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

Luffy: Hold it, Zoro !! Sanji !! Stop chopping off its legs !!

"Aaaaand now we can have Kraken takoyaki when we get to fishman island. You think Hacchan would be happy to cook that ?"

Franky: ... I have the feeling you could've held down all the tentacles if you wanted to.

"Hey, everyone needs to have a share of the fun."

Luffy: GOMU GOMU NOOOOOO...

Usopp: HE SENT IT FLYING !! JUST HOW STRONG HAS HE GOT ?!

Chopper: Huh ?! There's something down there ! A shark ?!

Luffy: A shark ?! Haah... Haa...

Zoro: That's a pretty big shark.

Sanji: Is that shark... Wearing clothes ?!

"... ... Hey, is it just me, or... are they moving away ?"

Robin: They're all being sucked into the downward current !

"... AFTER THEM !! if they're going down to the abyss, so are we !! Nami, instructions !!"

Nami: Keep the yard straight !! Turn the ship left !! We're going to collide with the continental shelf !!

Franky: Hnghh !! Here goes nothing !!

"Hang on tight everyone !! Keep your eyes on the horizon !!"

Usopp: Where the hell is the horizon ?!

"Urghhh... Okay, show of hand, who's there... ?"

Usopp: Owww... Looks like we're alive... At least... Wh- Whoaaa, it sure is cold down here... !!

Robin: There's no sight of Luffy and the others anywhere... It looks like we've lost them. I just hope they haven't been torn to pieces by sea monsters...

Usopp: Don't imagine such scary things !! Still, I don't know how we're going to search for anything in this pitch-black darkness... !!

Brook: I can't handle dark places ! Don't you feel like there's something watching you ?!

Franky: We must be about 7000 meters down by now... At this depth, even the Shark Submerge would be crushed flat by the pressure.

Chopper: Are we getting close to Fishman island ?! Maybe the others have found it already... !!

"It's 10 000 meters down, Chopper. We have a way to go still;"

Chopper: So there's still 3000 meters to go ?!

Usopp: Where have they gone off to in those tiny bubbles ?! Even if they are alive, their air won't last... It's just too dangerous !!

Nami: This is why I told them to use the lifelines... !

"No use standing around and whining about it, we need to look for them. They sure are around, but in what state, that's something else..."

Franky: Let's search for them then. I have a light function built-in.

Chopper: What ?! Do your eyes light up ?!

Franky: Franky... Nipple light !!

Usopp: WHAT KIND OF PLACE FOR A LIGHT IS THAT ?!

"Heh... All of that is really reminding me of the training... Hm, maybe not the best thing to remember right now..."

*These are the Deepwater levels, where the light cannot reach, and ordinary creatures cannot hope to survive. A true ocean "Underworld".*

Usopp: LUFFYYYYYY !! ZOROOOO !! SANJIIII !!

Chopper: WHERE HAVE YOU ALL GONEEEE ?! COME BACK !!!

Franky: In these wide open depths... Even our Sunny light doesn't reach very far... Are you sure they're that way ?

Brook: ... We have become weak... It is as though the darkness is instilling doubt and fear in us all...

Usopp: Well, we are in a pretty terrible situation ! What are we supposed to do ?!

Nami: I can't stop the ship from moving, so keep a good lookout !!

"Boy am I glad I got myself a literal life sonar in two years... But all these fishes are making too much interference... Oh, above."

Chopper: Above... ? AAHHH !! It's a jellyfish !! A giant jellyfish right on top of us !!

Brook: Whoaa !! That really is large ! And it's sparkling all over ! It's like looking at the night sky !

Chopper: It reached a tentacle in here ! D... Do you think it want to be friends... ?

Robin: You mustn't touch that tentacle, Chopper !! It's most likely poisonous !!

Chopper: EEEEEHHHH ?!

Franky: Not good ! Mini Coup de Burst !!

Brook: Ah... ! It's true, the air around the ship has thinned out somewhat.

Franky: Better that than being eaten !

Chopper: IT ATE THE JELLYFISH !! BUT THEN IT TURNED UPSIDE-DOOOOOWN !!

Robin: As I thought... Some kind of nerve poison.

Chopper: THESE OCEAN DEPTHS ARE TOO DARK AND TOO SCARY !! And there are loads of fish with flat white eyes !! It's really creepy !!

brook: These deepwater regions are a world of eternal darkness. Many creatures here have eyes that have degenerated from disuse.

Chopper: What, so they can't see properly ?!

Brook: What ? Why is it that I can see without eyes, you ask ?

Usopp: NYAHH-nyahh-nyahh !! You can't see me !!

"Careful, some of them have evolved extremely sensitive eyes, on the other hand."

Usopp: GYAAAAAAAAAAHH !!

Brook: The answer is... Da-dum, a secret !

Franky: What are you going on about on your own there... ?

Brook: You need not worry, I am quite used to solitude.

Nami: I really don't see them anywhere... Where have those guys gone ?!

Chopper: LUFFYYYY !! ZOROOO !! SANJIII !!

Brook: Hmm ? This rope... Everyone ! Have you seen that pirate anywhere ?

"Hm ? Please elaborate, we're all pirates... Oh, that Caribou guy..."

Franky: Oh, yeah ! He was here too, wasn't he ? I'd completely forgotten.

Chopper: Where did he go ?

"Haven't seen him since we reached deepwater... He could've been thrown off the ship for all I care. He was all tied up, so I doubt he could've done anything anyway."

Brook: No, that's not it ! It seems that he has escaped from his bonds ! You see ?

Usopp: Huh ?! Then... he's still here somewhere ?! Where ?!

Nami: He could be hiding somewhere on the ship... ! Ewwww !

Mud-in-a-barrel: 'Kehihihihi !! Shall I hide in the women's quarters just to spite them ?'

Usopp: Dammit... !! At a time like this, we have to worry about enemies inside the ship as well ?!

Franky: Eh, forget him. It's not like he was strong or anything.

"Hm, I don't know about that one... There's something showing up for me... Shh, follow me, Franky..."

Caribou: 'Keheheheh... Oh, this is great... ! They're even gone and lost the three kraken-fighting monster crew members... ! They were thrown out into these deep waters with nothing but a bubble each to protect them !! they're as good as dead ! It's a pity I didn't get to take Straw hat's head myself, but...'

Caribou: 'if I take the heads of all the remaining crew, that'll be proof enough that Straw Hat is dead and gone... ! Kehihihi... But then, don't get too hasty now, Caribou old boy... You should never be too hasty... ! If I kill'em now, then who'll sail the ship ?! They've got some serious navigational skills, that much is for sure... Yes, the moment they reach Fishman Island... That's when they'll breathe their last !!'
