onepiece_300This was the best I could manage; I first wanted to draw it as a short fan art comic, but I'm not a good or fast artist and time was lacking. Also had another idea in mind regarding Vivi and pranks, but it kinda didn't quite get there.
(I really hope someone else will chime in with something better...)

Zoro's dreams took a more quiet and summery turn. He found himself walking past placid rice paddles and wide yellow wheat fields, a lazy summer breeze rippling by. In the distance, a falcon flew. It was hot and quiet.
Franky perked his ears from inside the figurehead, where he worked on improving the Gaon Cannon. "Wow, that takes me back," he mumbled. "Wait, aren't we still far from land?"
"Ehh?" exclaimed Chopper. "What's that sound? Is something wrong?!"
"Hey, Franky!" said Nami, who was tanning in a sun-chair on deck. "Just get yourself oiled up already, those squeaks are getting annoying!"
Robin looked up at the noise and smiled.
"How splendid! This makes the perfect backdrop for a summer song!" declared Brook happily, went and got his banjolele and started to strum it.
Sanji popped out from the kitchen. "Luffy, Usopp, if any of you brought any damn crickets on board…"
"We didn't!" protested Usopp. "Look, they're right there, in the water!"
"But that's a great idea!" said Luffy. "I'll go get my net so we can capture one!"
"The hell you will… wait, what? In the water?" Sanji reached the railing where Luffy and Usopp were sitting and looked down,Chopper making his way over to them as well. His eyes bugged out. A strong current was pushing a tangle of seeweed and kelp so that it kept pace with Thousand Sunny - and on it, a whole colony of insects as big as his lower arms were sitting, vigorously rubbing their wings together.
"They are Sea Crickets," Robin explained. "Hardy little beasts, aren't they? They can float, and even survive storms."
"AAWESOME!" exclaimed Luffy, starry-eyed as he waved his net.
"Luffy..."
The sound of crickets followed them until the next island, where Nami sneakily set the bugs free again.
