Such a big fish
⚠︎Recap Sentence Warning⚠︎
I look behind me, nothing there, however, it continues as the voice seems to originate from deeper in the cavern. Interesting, I can not sense its body, hm...then is it strong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Yuujiro POV)
Although I can not sense it's body, I know it is strong. How else would it yell from so far down low? I begin slowly climbing down, slightly grinning, 'This emptiness will disappear surely after I...fight this foe.'.
It kept saying the same thing, I began to prepare myself for combat, however, perhaps it is what they call a 'recorder', since it doesn't even sound different. We can only wait and see.

(Yuujiro POV)
I finally reach the bottom of the cavern of where this voice originated, but what I found was disappointing. It was a locked treasure chest, the tropical one that has gold trims and a mainly wood body. However, my gut tells me its in that chest. What is it, the old geezer playing tricks? I ponder on this, perhaps this is a trap?
I spread my senses through my feet, seemingly echoing throughout the cavern, sure its invisible, but it gets the job done. So far, it doesn't really seem to have any traps. Interesting to say the least.
I cross my arms, staring at the chest, wondering of what to do now.
(Treasure Chest POV)
You killed the beast, so why are you not getting you're treasure?
'This has to be the strangest occurrence ever in my entire existence , every last human(s) who has ever defeated the beast just look around, search for traps, and take me with them, sometimes they open me. So why is he just sitting there?! Just open me you bafoon! Maybe just the echo's will annoy him to come over, that's it!'. I begin to use the good ol' trick of saying "Come here, come here, come here." over and over.
You know what, not the best decision I've ever made, but hey! I think its working!
Then again, he seems to be in deep thought. What the hell man, just decide already! For gods sake, at least this was easier on Wanpīsu, I'll tell myself that! God, I just realized I'm to lonely and talk to my self. Oh well, what is a object with a soul attached to it supposed to do, say hello? Pretty sure that is not how that works, but lets try it anyways!
(Yuujiro POV)
Should I, or should I not?
It seems like a classic game that is played by many, but I think this is one of the few times I can play such games. Sure, 1 pull, 2 down is fun, but you are the only one that is playing it on the ceiling, its boring to say the least.
"Hello?", it sounded muffled, like it was in a container or something similar, how odd...
I stare at the chest, wondering if the voice came from it.
"Hello!", it, again, sounds muffled.
So it is the chest, so who the hell is hiding in there?
I walk over to the chest, looking down upon it. I spread my sense to my feet, that goes all over the chest and the rocks around it. It doesn't seem alive, but not dead either, so perhaps it is a 'recorder'.
I'd raise my leg over the chest, and bringing it down like a jack-hammer, kicking it multiple times that dust and wood went everywhere. That's odd, I feel pain? Why do I feel pain? Of what material is this made of? I have to figure it out later and see if anyone is...what do they say now? Trolling me?
(Treasure Chest POV)
What the hell man! Why would you raise you're leg above me-
(General POV)
The sound a wood and gold breaking apart continued and echoed throughout the entire cavern, lasting for about 4 minutes.
Yuujiro looks down at the chest, which is now destroyed, and with dust covering it in its entire shadowy form. In response of the random dust, Yuujiro breathes in slowly, and exhales with all his might, similar to the big bad wolf blowing down the straw house. Getting back on topic, the dust is not cleared, and all that remains of the chest is a 2x9 book and the buttom of the chest, he picked it up, observing it from all angles. The book looked odd, with a navy blue cover on all sides, with engraving of a symbol that is rather unknown to the entire world. [A/N; One Piece's World Government symbol, and no, there is no 'bigger plot'.]
(Yuujiro POV)
I observe this odd book, the feeling of this book is rather odd as well. It feels...slippery, even though it seems to be in the chest for centuries. The words on the front of the book say, 'Alii quidem per voluntatem Dei D.', which I believe translates to...I think...no, don't really remember. I take a deep breath, trying to smell any poison of any kind. All I smell is the saltiness of the...sea? How odd, why would such a smell occur he-
Seems I forgot, I am on a island nation, its going to smell like that, however, why didn't I smell it when I got down here? This seems so odd, to abnormal, as if someone is setting a trap for me. I would try crush the book with all my strength, but not even a crack occurs on the book, but rather opens it.
(General POV)
The book shone a very bright light, slightly blinding Yuujiro, who is by now surrounded by a thin layer of water envelop Yuujiro, who disappears from his spot, the chest reverting back to its self, same as the book. At the very same time Yuujiro got 'teleported', the water on him fell off and went to the floor.
(Yuujiro POV)
I fell asleep from where I stood, how strange, but all I see is darkness. Although, I already opened my eyes. I quickly jump up, getting up at the same time, then looked around me. It seems to be a different cavern, I spread my senses to my feet, which then spread throughout the supposed cavern. This isn't a cavern, this is a one-way cave. Odd, I don't recall ever going here. Even if I got drunk, I would remember, I mean, my title wouldn't be the strongest living creature without having a good alcohol resistance.
I now look in-front of me, a bright light with a seemingly distant sea is what I see. I can't exactly figure out anything here, so I walk over to the seemingly bright light. I exit the cave, stepping on some nice, cool grass. Not even bothered to look, I look around my surroundings. Seems I am on a different island, the sea has more...wait.
I smell no pollution?
How can that be, that should be impossible!
Hm...there really is no pollution. How odd, maybe I am in Haiwaii. Actually, no, Haiwaii isn't even this nice. In the distance, maybe about 129 meters [A/N, 423 feet], from the shores, I see a large shadow. I observe more, maybe it is a submarine? I doubt they would actually come toward a island, but who knows nowadays, they could be drunk for all I know. The shadow emerges, revealing a 23 feet long fish with seemingly maroon stripes, with the main body being deep blue.
Such a big fish...
