Zoey was trying her best to get through the city. She made her own arm Bandage out of her own Robe to help. to try and Find Kohza and Vivi. In the Condition she's in she's in no shape to fight and she can't risk exposing herself now that the entire City is in the brink of Chaos, if she was spotted by any of the baroque work agents she wouldn't stand a chance. she decided to try and traverse the alleyways as much as possible and away from the hot spots (Or areas where there is the most fighting activity).
"I need to get to the Palace Thats where Kohza should be heading to.." Zoey said in her head while running down the alleyway.
I should be able to get there faster by taking the Shortcut...I just hope I'm not to late." Zoey said to herself
Cray was trying his best to try and find any of his friends on his way to the Palace. but his fight with Mr.6 took a toll on him he was bruised and bloodied and his body was still recovering from using that Prism coating technique.
"Hey Cray!"
Cray turned around and noticed Sanji, Ussop and Chooper and Eyelash, Ussop was heavily bandaged all over his body while on top of Eyelash and Chopper looked bit beat up to while riding on Eyelashes head
" Are You guys all right!?" Cray said
" Yeah...Damn you look like shit...whats that Brown stuff all over your clothes?" Sanji said curiously
"It's a long story. Dealing with Mr.6 took more doing then I realized." Cray said
Cray then looked at Ussop and Chopper
" sheesh, What the hell happened to you two?" Cray said
"Well to put it lightly...ME AND CHOPPER ALMOST DIED!" Ussop yelled
"So I take it you two took care of Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4?" Cray said
"Yep." Chopper said
" So Wheres Zoro and Nami?" Cray said
"we've been trying to keep an eye out for them...wheres Zoey?" Sanji said
" I don't know, we ended up getting separated when those two agents decided to split up...I hope shes okay." Cray said worried
"Well we don't have time to just keep standing around and worrying about it, we got to make it to the palace. if were lucky everyone might already be there." Sanji said as they were running
"Also what about Luffy? Do you think he might be already there?" Cray said
Ussop and Chooper were about to Cry.
"Whats wrong?" Cray said
"Miss Merry Christmas told us that Crocodile killed Luffy." Ussop said
"What?!" Cray said
"Shut up Ussop! don't tell me you actually believe that?"" Sanji said
"NO OF COURSE NOT!" Ussop yelled
"Then why are you crying?" Cray said
"I'm not crying, I just...got some sand in my eyes, that's all. both of us do" Ussop said wiping his face
"Yeah." Chopper said wiping his face
(Sometime Later)
Vivi has finally made it to the palace along With Chaka, They found King Cobra impaled on the wall by his arms, as Crocodile and Miss Sunday were standing right by him. Crocodile was trying to interrogate Cobra in order to tell him where he can find the Poneglyph that supposedly has the location to one of the Ancient Weapons. you see the entire reason why Crocodile wanted to take over Alabasta was so he could get his hands on one of the most Deadliest Weapons ever made called Pluton, A warship that was rumored to be able to destroy an entire island with just one shot, and Alabastas Poneglyph may have it's Location on where it is., and Miss Sunday is the only one who could read it.
Before Chaka can do anything the Main door of the Palace opened revealing Four men, Hyota, Brahm, Arrow and Barrel
"KING COBRA!" The four men said
"Who are these fools?" crocodile said
"the guardians" Chaka said
The Kicking Claw Force." Vivi said
"Don't attack men, you'll be throwing your lives away" Cobra said
"Your majesty, defending you to the death is not only our mission it is the highest honor and privelge therefore we can;t simply avoid him." Hyota said
"he;s one of the warlords of the sea" Arrow said
"the only to beat mhim is to fight dirty." Hyota said
"We four are one!" they all said
"Its seems that you have quite the reputation, therefore i will spare your lives, leave now and go home." Crocodile said
"We can;t do that theres another reason we will not withdraw.." brahm said
"Reason?" Crocodile said
"If the rumors are true and you are indeed the mastermind of this whole thing." Arrow said
Suddenly his muscles started to grow, and so didi the other three
"What have you men done?" chaka said
"No..they didn;t." Cobra said
"Chaka whats going on with their bodies?" Vivi said
"they drank the fatal elixir, it grants the user incredible strength but then.. it kills the host...there dead men." Chaka said
"Were sorry chaka that we drank it without your conceit but we had to take drastic measures in order, to stop this countries suffering, we have to make him realize the fury of... THIS COUNTRY!" Hyota said
All four them rushed at Crocodile and then slashed at him, but, Crocodile simply turned to sand and then flew up top the the palce building.
" that wasn;t the smartest descion, a person should value his own life above all else, but I guess it's to late for you four isn't it. since your going to die anyway i don;t even need to bother killing you myself." Crocodile said
"You don;t even have the decency to fight!?" Chaka yelled at Crocodile
Suddenly the the four men then collapsed to the Ground.
"Chaka...were sorry." hyota said dropping dead
"hahahahahahhahahaha...Behold the very definition of Stupidity!" Crocodile said
YOU BASTARD!" Chaka yelled running at him
"dog dog fruit: Model Jackal!" Chaka yelled
Chaka then transformed into a jackel Dog and jumped up towards Crocodile
HOWLING FANG!" Chaka said slicing through Crocodile with no effect
"I see that you share the same stupidity, willing to risk your life for others." Crocodile said
Crodile then used his hook to slash at chaka across his chest.
"Chaka!' Vivi said
Chaka then collapsed on the ground.
"What is this?"
They all looked and saw that Kohza made it to the Palace.
"Kohza...You made it here...I see that you took the shortcut that you always took." Cobra said
Kohza!" Vivi said
" This can't be what am I seeing here ...I came here in hopes of persuading the royal army but... Chaka and the king is.. about to be killed by this countries hero...I can't believe my eyes. Kohza said
"hahahahahahaha...now things are starting to get interesting, here we are in the midst of an epic war and yet the leaders of both sides are not on the battle field. fate has placed them squabbling at my feet. a battle to the death between two Broken Titans bleeding out the last remnants of there power." crocodile said
"You seem a bit confused. don;t worry its a naturally reaction, let me help you...relax and open your mind and then think about the worst possible scenario." Miss Sunday said
"Kohza Listen to me" Vivi said
Vivi who was responsible for the drought ravageing this country tell me?" Kohza said
"It was." Vivi said
"That honor belongs to me, over the past three years, Each and every malicious deed you attributed to the kings doing was done by my company. A trap that saw you play you and your sister into my hands. it was a flawless plan of deception, I got to say it was entertaining watching as the royal family and it's army desperately chase our shadows...pity you and your sister would've probably died a ignorant bliss not knowing these facts." Crocodile said
"Where is my Sister to begin with!?" Kohza yelled
"She's heading here to the Palace as we speak." Vivi said
So She's Still alive?...Thank God." Kohza said
"Yes.. unfortunately she managed to slip through my grasps back at Rainbase...But given her injuries that my Partner Miss Sunday gave to her before she escaped, I highly doubt that she'll last a minute in this Chaos." Crocodile said
"Kohza Just looked at Crocodile angrily.
"Don't listen to him, Zoey is strong she'll make it." Vivi said
"KOHZA! Theres still some time left. you must act now. save as many citizens as you can." Cobra said
"In less then half an hour the Town Square will be blown to bits." chaka said weakly
WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" Kohza yelled
So your still alive huh?" Crocodile said raising his hook
HURRY!" Chaka yelled as the Hook came down on his chest.
Kohza then started to Run.
STOP!" vivi yelled tackling him to the Ground
Get off of me! what are you doing theirs no time! the battle is heading towards the square, if it really is set to blow up! Get off!" Kohza yelled
LISTEN TO ME! think this through, what will happen if you tell the armies the square is set to blow?! the men will panic. it will only add more chaos, and even if you stop the bomb it won;t stop the fighting. either way, people are still going to die you won't save anyone, do you understand? Our only hope is what should've been done from the start. we have to stop the rebellion. and with Zoey not here yet your the only one that can do it." Vivi said
Kohza slowly got up.
Vivi." Kohza said
Suddenly Crocodile started to form back right by Vivi ready to kill her.
"Do you really think I will just stand there as you try to ruin my plans?" Crocodile said
VIVI!" Kohza yelled
Suddenly Chaka jumped right in front of Crocodile blocking his attack with his sword barely standing up.
"I am...alabastas Guardian Deity , destroyer of all who threaten the Royal family. I AM THE JACKAL! I will fight as long as there is breath left in my body." Chaka said
"Some call that brave. I call it stupid." Crocodile said
"do what you must, both of you, I'll hold him back for a few minutes." chaka said
"Chaka." Kohza said
GO!" Chaka yelled
Suddenly Kohza and Vivi started to Run towards the Main entrance of the gate where the remaining Royal army was Guarding.
(Zoey)
I'm almost there." Zoey said running.
zoey started to breath heavily. she can here in the Distance loud Rumbling noises coming from the other side, the Rebel army was making there way towards the Palace. Zoey then took a left turn. and as she did she Saw the Royal army raising white flags and with Kohza standing in front of everyone using her holding up another Flag in the Distance. She can Hear Kohza yelling out.
"REBEL ARMY! THE BATTLE IS OVER EVERYONE QUIET YOUR ANGER AND LOWER YOUR WEAPONS! THE ROYAL ARMY WILL STAND DOWN! LET THERE BE NO MORE BLOOD STAIN THE STREETS! Kohza yelled
"is this the truth Kohza?" A rebel soldier said
"Yes...It's Over." Kohza said
"You did it Vivi." Zoey said with a smile on her face. She then Started to run towards him. but before she could say anything she could see one of the Royal soldiers raisinghis Rifle
KOHZA WATCH OOOOUT!" Zoey yelled
Kohza turned his head to the left to see where the voice came from and before he can even get a good look or even say anything, he was then shot four times in the back. Kohza then collapsed on the Ground. the royal soldier who shot him had a Baroque Works tattoo on his shoulder.
KOOOOOOOZHAAAAAAAAAA!" Vivi and Zoey yelled
Zoey then had tears in her eyes.
(Flashback 10 years ago)
Zoey completly exhausted laying in the desert sand. Zoey slowly opened her eyes and she could see a couple of shadows standing above her, it was Kohza and Toto. Zoey slowly started to get up but then collapsed on the ground again over the pain she had on her leg with the knife. Kohza then tried to pull the Knife out but Zoey came
"Wa...ter...Water." Zoey said weakly
"Father! We need water now!" Kohza yelled
(Small timeskip)
Zoey was laying on a bed with cold rag on her head, Zoey slowly got up and she could see Kohza sitting on a chair. Kind of startling Zoey.
"It's okay..My father and I helped you out." Kohza said
Zoey then looked at her leg and noticed that it was stiched up.
You were in really bad shape, your lucky that we found you." Kohza said
"Thanks." Zoey said
(Small timeskip a few days later)
so you got no where else to go?" Toto said
"No." Zoey said
"Hey! why don't you come live with us. we can be like Brother and Sister." Kohza said
"What?" Zoey said
"Can she stay with us Father?" Kohza said
(Present day)
GET THEEEEEEEEEEM!" A rebel soldier yelled
Suddenly A huge gust of Sand and Dust started to cover the whole Area
"Whats going on where did this sand storm come from!" a rebel soldier said
"I can't see anything!" another one said
there was then bullets flying everywhere.
"Rebel army...please...don't fight." Kohza said weakly on his back.
"What a dirty trick..using a phony white flag to get us off our guard? is this how the royal army plans to win?"
the battle then started to go all out. Vivi in vain tried to yell to stop but the battle was to loud.
Zoey then collapsed to her Knees in Sadness.
"theirs no stopping it now." Zoey said in Sadness
Then suddenly a couple of Baroque work agents came from right behind her.
KILL HER!" An agent yelled
Zoey Quickly turned but she couldn't react in time, Zoey just simply closed her eyes waiting for the strike, until Suddenly a Blue fist Punched one in the face, and the other one was Kicked in the Face.
Zoey opened up her eyes and she Saw Cray, Sanji, Ussop, Chopper and Eyelash standing right in front of her.
Are you okay?" Cray said
"They didn't hurt you did they?" Sanji said
"No i'm fine...it's just that." Zoey said crying
Cray helped her up while Sanji helped get her on the Camel.
"Don't worry." sanji said
Eyelash then bumped ussop off as he fell with a thud.
"HEY WHATS THE BIG IDEA!" Ussop yelled
"He says that Zoey is more hurt then you are." Chopper said
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" ussop yelled
(the Palace Grounds)
"Vivi listen to ME!' you got to run away, get away from him before its to late!" Cobra yelled
"Vivi got up.
"I won't. theres still time.. If I'm able to stop the bomb in fifteen minutes I can reduce the number of Casualities." Vivi said
"If i try this the rebellion will stop, If i try that the rebellion will stop." Crocodile said mocking Vivi
Crocodile then grabbed Vivi by the Neck with his right hand picking her up and dangling her off the ledge.
"it's time to wake up princess, I'm tired of your useless idealism it's getting pathetic. what good are your Ideals if you can;t make them a Reality. then there nothing but dreams, and your dream don;t stand a chance." Crocodile said
"vivi then started to cry.
"I don;t care what you think of my ideals. I'm never going to give up. i'm this countries princess I won;t give up, I won;t give in...I refuse...I will save Alabasta." vivi said
"You have only fifteen minutes until the square blows up. more of the rebel forces are gathering, as reinforcements arrive... one after another, without even realizing they are marching to their deaths." Crocodile said
"You know you could've warned the royal army sooner then now about the bomb, yes there could've been a panic but you could've saved tens of thousands of lives." Crocodile said
"STOP CROCODILE! PLEASE JUST LET HER GO!" Cobra yelled
'In the end your plans to save this country has done more harm then good, your failures have only ended up hurting the civilians you claim to love so dearly. from the beginning of my operations here, the sheer stupidity of your country has amused me. So pathetic, so easy to manipulate. you did a decent job on spying on our company for the past two years I'll grant you that much. but when it was all said and done you really had no hope of changing anything, Stopping the rebellion, saving your country. all those worthless ideals you've come to for so long.. in the end they just made more victims for me...Listen to me carefully...your never going to save this country...Goodbye Princess." Crocodile said letting her go
Vivi then started to fall as Crocodile Laughed
Then Suddenly something caught Crocodiles eyes, it was in the sky, he noticed a huge Falcon and with some one on it.
"CROCODIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEEEE!" Lufy yelled
It was Luffy, he was riding on top of Pell with a barrel full of water on his back.
"No..it can't be." Crocodile said frustratingly
LUFFY!" Vivi yelled
Pell Swooped in and snatched Vivi before she could hit the Ground
"THIS CAN'T BE!" Crocodile yelled again
Pell then started to fly up high into the sky
"Just in time." Luffy said
"Luffy...Pell...there isn;t much time until the Square is blown up, everyone is already down there...My voice can;t be heard no matter how hard I yell. at this rate the country will fall apart." Vivi said crying.
"don;t worry Vivi..as long as were here your voice will always be heard." Luffy said
Pell then landed right by the Entrance of the palace. Luffy and Vivi got off Luffy was getting himself ready.
"Best of luck luffy." Pell said
I ate tons of food bird guy, I'll be just fine...I won't lose to him again." Luffy said
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S LUFFY HE"S ALIVE!" Chooper yelled
Luffy looked and he Saw, Sanji, Cray, Zoey, Eyelash, Ussop and Chopper.
"What!?...I knew it all along!" Ussop yelled
"for someone who knew all along you sure look surprised." Sanji said
"glad to see that your in one piece Luffy." Cray said
"Ussop, Zoey Sanji, Cray, Chopper, Ussop your all alright." Vivi said
Then Suddenly Nami and Zoro showed up, Nami then hit Ussop over the head with her clima tact.
"Ussop who asked you to create some useless prop for parties!?" Nami yelled
Nami! my Loooove!" sanji yelled with heart eyes.
"well it did have a powerful attack right?" Ussop said holding the top of his head in pain
"Just shut up I'm going to deal with you later..Vivi whats going on whats with this Sand Storm?" Nami said
Luffy then Stretched his arms to the top of the Palace.
"I'm sorry you guys, I know that I lost to him once already, but this time...I'm going to win..the rest is up to you." Luffy said to everyone
"then get going already." zoro said
if you can't beat this guy I don't know who can." Ussop said
"I'm going to put an end to this...for good." Luffy said Launching him up towards Crocodile
"CROCODILEEEEEEE" Luffy yelled
"Try all you want, but no matter how many times you swing you'll never hit me." Crocodile said
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Luffy said ready to swing
"hmmph" crocodile started to turn to sand but then Luffys fist made hard contact with Crocodiles face. Crocodile grunted in pain as he fell to the ground.
Luffy then grabbed Crocodiles shoulders.
"Gumo gumo no...Buzzsaw!" Luffy yelled
Luffy then headbutted Crocodile in the face. Crocodile then collapsed to the ground.
"He hit crocodile?...how?" Cobra said to himself.
""Get up...I figured something out when my yuba water touched your arm...once you touch water you can't turn into sand anymore...thats why you took away all the rain Right?...I know how to defeat you Crocodile...Now are real fight can start." Luffy said Squirting water on his hand from the barrel that was on his back.
"WHAT? THERES A BOMB THAT'S READY TO BLOW UP THE SQUARE?!" Cray yelled
"And its going to blow in Ten minutes!?" ussop yelled
Yes at 4:30 thats when it will go...according to Crocodile if the cannon is shot no one within 5 kilometers from here will survive.
"5 Kilometers then that means?" Nami said
"Both armies will be wiped out." chopper said
"what the hell are we suppose to do?" ussop said
"We stop the cannon from going off." Zoro said
"Or the Cannon man." chopper said
But how are we suppose to do that?" Ussop said
and in Ten Minutes to?" Cray said
"Well By not standing here!" Zoro said
"well if everything here is going to explode then the cannon guy must be far away from here or else he'll be caught in it." ussop said
No..No he's close, The cannon is certainly close to the square." vivi said
"What? but that means that he'll be caught in the explosion to." Ussop said
"Thats not to surprising coming from Crocodile." Nami said
"WHAT! HE'S GOING TO LET HIS OWN MEN DIE!?" Chopper said
Thats just plain Evil." Cray said in an angry tone
"Come on lets go." Zoro said
suddenly a huge guy with a sword came out of nowhere ready to attack Vivi. Zoro, and Sanji quickly blocked his attack and knocked him out.
"AAAAAAH!" ussop yelled
They looked and saw that they were surrounded by Baroque Work Agents.
"Looks like we found you princess." an agent said
"I wonder how big a promotion Crocodile will give us for killing you" another agent said
"Billions!" Vivi said
"were wasting time." sanji said
"then lets not dealy dally." zoro said
"Lets go." Zoro and Sanji said attacking the agents
"I'll go on ahead." Nami said running off
Us to." Ussop and Chopper said.
Vivi grab my hand." Zoey said on top of Eyelash.
Zoey grabbed Vivi and pulled her up on top of Eyelash. then suddenly Four Baroque work agents came in
"I just about had enough of these Assholes!" Cray yelled
"Iro Iro...Whip Club!" Cray yelled Hitting all four of them knocking them out.
COME ON!" Cray yelled running ahead.
come on Eyelash! lets go!" Zoey yelled
Eyelash then started to run they caught up with Ussop, Chopper and Pell
"We'll have a better chance of finding the cannon if we split up. we'll head this way." Ussop said with chopper right by him.
"ten minutes, this is really it, this is the last chance...in ten minutes the countries fate can be decided...for good." Vivi said in her head
THIS IS IT FOLKS THE FINAL COUNT DOWN FOR ALABASTA'S SURVIVAL HAS BEGUN!
