You remembered that you were drowning. Thrashing around underwater, struggling to hold your breath? Something like that. It was fuzzy. Your head hurts. Your lungs sting a bit. You’re… on something. It’s warm. And… moving? It’s squishy. You can feel it wrapping around your legs.

You opened your eyes, your vision blurry for a moment. After blinking, and feeling yourself rise before falling slightly –a pattern you had noticed since you had awoken– you realized that the thing that was squeezing you was… huge… It was half man, half… squid? Octopus? In place of his legs were large tentacles. Little did you know that you had been dragged into the lair of the great merkraken. Dracule Mihawk. He was slumbering peacefully with you pressed up against his chest, his tentacles keeping a tight grip on your lower half.

He had saved you from drowning.
