The cave was massive, carved from black volcanic rock that glittered with flecks of mica in the dim light filtering through the entrance. Salt water pooled around their ankles, the floor sloping downward into a dark, still lake.

Monkey D. Luffy

Roronoa Zoro

Monkey D. Luffy

The voice was deep, old, and resonated through the cave walls like a stone dropped into a deep well.
