(the clock tower)
rain finally started to fall once again in Alubarna. eevryone stopped fighting to listen to Vivi and Zoey.
"The Nightmare is not over Princess not just yet"
"Yeah we want justice for what King cobra did to Nanohana"
"Yeah and What the Hell Zoey?! One of the royal soldiers shot your own Brother! and you want us to stop!"
" Royal ARMY! DROP YOUR WEAPONS NOW!" chaka yelled
I't's chaka!" A royal soldier said
"is he serious"
Yes..MA ma maaaaaa...that goe for you two Rebel army."
Everyone looked and noticed Igaram walking towards them with a Kid in his arms the same kid that Kohza saved back at Nanohana
""Wait thats the boy from Nanohana"
"Listen to me, everything that happened in Nanohana wasn;t the king or his men, This is what I saw...
the kid then explained to them how he remembered seeing Mr.2 turn into king Cobra and that the royal army that was with him where all people in disguise.
"He's right. We've been manipulated right from the start. this battle was a plot from the beginning." Kohza said weakly walking towards them.
Royal or rebel I will explain it to you all, everything what has been done to this country and who was truly responsible for it. only if you all drop your weapons." Igaram said
"Kohza?" Zoey said getting off of eyelash.
"Zoey?" Kohza Slowly getting up
Zoey quickly ran to him and gave him a hug.
"ow." Kohza said
ow". Zoey said to
"Sorry." they both said at the same time
"I guess both of us have taken a real beating huh?" Kohza said
"Yeah i'm surprised I'm even standing right now. hehe." Zoey said weakly
Kohza just sat down.
"It's over..After three long years... it's finally over." Kohza said
"I guess father was right after all. the rain did come back." Zoey said smiling
Vivi then made her way down the Clock Tower.
"Zoey where are our friends?" Vivi said
Vivi." Kohza said
"They said they needed to find their captain Luffy they headed that way?" Zoey said pointing
"Take Eyelash with you, you should be able to catch up with them faster." Zoey said
"thank you."Vivi said getting on top of Eyelash and riding off
(The straw hats)
The straw hats were walking towards the destination where crocodile was launched into the sky.
"Come on Ussop I know your hurt but could you pick up the pace a little bit?" Sanji said
"i wish I could but I'm coming down with "If I walk anymore I'll die Disease" Ussop said
'Are you coming down with "Whining like a little baby disease" as well Ussop?' Cray said
They finally made it to the collapsed temple. where they Found Cobra carrying Luffy behind his back.
"Who are you?" Cobra said
""Just travelers passing through, the guy on your back is one of us as well, we'll take him now, thanks old man." Sanji said
"hold on, if your with this young man, then you must be those pirates that helped Vivi get back here to this country." Cobra said
"Wait how do you know that?" Sanji said
"DADDY! EVERYONE!" Vivi yelled riding on eyelash
"hey looks it's Vivi." Chopper said
"Daddy? WHAT? THIS GUYS VIVI'S DAD!" Sanji yelled
"then you must be the king then huh?" Cray said
Yes, And I would be a dead king if it weren't for your friend here, even though after being poisoned by Crocodile, he was still able to carry me and another out to safety." cobra said laying Luffy down
"Wait he was poisoned? is he going to be alright?" Ussop said
"don't worry the poison should be neutralized by now. however his injuries need to be treated, and so do yours as well." cobra said to everyone.
Zoro then sat down by a wall.
"We'll wait you two need to be somewhere else, go back to the square Vivi." zoro said
"He;s right now that the war is over it;s only fitting for the King and princess to say a few words. tell them what really happened." Ussop said
"yeah and I can tell them all about you guys to." Vivi said
Vivi Dear...please don't...were a band of notorious pirates, the last thing we need is are faces and names known." sanji said lighting a ciggerate
"But what we do need is food." Chooper said
"and rest, we would like to crash at the palace if that's okay." Nami said
"we would really appreciate it." Cray said smiling
Vivi and Cobra smiled at them and they rode off back to the Square.
"Finally...now I can.. finally get some...rest." Cray weakly said collapsing on the Ground face first.
Then one by one everyone collapsed and was out cold.
everyone surrounded an unconscious Crocodile.
"Are you serious Crocodile?, he was the one behind all of this?"
I thought he was a hero?"
Suddenly Tashigi along with the marines showed up.
"Its the marines."
Tahshigi then walked towards Crocodile
"I've just been informed that a Baroque works ship has been seized, one that makes artificial rain using Dance powder..You being Baroque works President I have been ordered to tell you this. Sir Crocodile One of the warlords of the Sea...by the Authority of the World Goverment I Hereby strip you of your Warlord Status and Privileges . additionally you and all of Baroque work agents are Under arrest." Tashigi said
"The Sqaure)
Zoey and Kohza were sitting down.
"We Rebels, we've done horrible things that can never be undone." Kohza said
Vivi and Cobra were standing by
" Leader...I don;t know what to say to him. to any of them." Vivi said
"We all feel regret on what has happened, but it's only natural." Cobra said
Everyone then saw King Cobra and Vivi
"King cobra?"
"Your Majesty"
"we've lost so much and gained nothing, we've been divided...but now we have a chance to take a step forward. no matter who you fought against, the battle didi occur and it's over we must put this event behind us and become one theirs nothing we can do about whats happened, we cannot change the past...but teirs one thing that we can change however...AND THATS ARE FUTURE! A FUTURE WHERE ALL OF ALABASTA IS UNITED ONCE MORE!" Cobra yelled out
Everyone then started to cry. Kohza, Zoey, Vivi the entire Rebel and Royal army.
the monumental battle that will be engraved in history, and more importantly the battle that will never be told is finally...over.
Tashigi and her Men found the Straw Hats unconscious.
"Negative that's an order." tashigi said
"with all due respect sergeant Major why not!?, with your permission we can capture all the Straw hats in one fell swoop." A marine said
'DENIED! I will not allow you to lay a hand on any of them is that Understood!?" Tashigi yelled
"But we'll never have a chance like this Again! There sitting Ducks Right now!" another marine said
Tashigi then just flashed them a serious face that read No.
(The Sqaure)
"Quickly she's in critical condition she needs Medical attention now!"
"Bring her into the Palace!"
A couple of Soldiers carried Zoey on a stretcher who has suddenly collapsed due to her injuries.
"Don't worry Leader, We'll make sure that you and Zoey are taken care of. and your father to...there was a sandstorm in Yuba." vivi said
"Still a worry Ward as always I see. I don't know how Yuba fared. But Take my word for it a Sandstorm is no Match for My stubborn old man. and Don't worry about me Either I got his blood in my Veins. Once I get treated I'll head to Yuba. I'll keep you updated...just make Sure that my Sister gets the help she needs, Okay?" Kohza said
"You can count on it." Vivi said
(Later that Night)
All of the Straw hats including Zoey were Brought into the Palace Guest Room to rest after having there Wounds Treated and bandaged up. Vivi was sitting by a Nearby Window.
Igaram then entered the room.
"Vivi. what are you still doing up?...you can't sleep?" Igaram said
"No it's not that..I just want to see the rain fall...It's been so long since I've seen it." Vivi said
"Vivi..about Pell...He was without a doubt the strongest most loyal and dignified warrior I've ever served With.." Igaram said
He was... I just wished i could've...said thank you." Vivi said sadly.
'He'd be greatly honored by that Princess." Igaram said
(The Next Day The Nanohana Ship Port)
"Captian Smoker. Miss Hina, Sergeant Major Tashigi has returned."
WELCOME BACK SERGEANT MAJOR!" The marine said saluting her.
"It's been a while Tashigi glad to see your all right." Hina said
"Hina...It's good to see you again, I'm a little tired so I'm going to rest for a little bit.( Looks up at smoker)...were back Captian smoker, did you get my Report?" tashigi said
Yes..thank you for your work...I heard about what happened with the Straw Hats." Smoker said
" I'm sorry sir. I helped the Pirates we also had an opportunity to capture them and I let them slip away. My actions were shameful. I'm sorry." tashigi said
"why are you apologizing Stop it didn't I tell you to follow your justice Like i told you to?" Smoker said
"No it's not that. it's just That...I had no other choice. I was tasked to bring in Crocodile but I wasn't Strong enough and when Luffy asked where he was. All i could do was tell him, i was also no Match for Nico Robin, I was to Weak, So there was no Justice I could follow." tashigi said walking up to the ship
" I get it, you thought you were strong enough to defeat Crocodile. but you weren't, so the Straw hat stepped up and did it instead...the Straw Hats know what they have to do to survive in this sea. you either step up or you die..you did what you could but it wasn't enough, luckily your still alive..learn from this experience." Smoker said
Tashigi then passed smoker.
"With your permission sir I'm going to get some rest." Tashigi said fighting back tears.
"Tashigi...don't cry about it. Do what the Straw hats did...Step up and become Stronger." Smoker said
"...SIR YES SIIIIIIIIIR!" Tashigi yelled
Tashigi thne walked inside.
"I just Wish the rest of you had the same kind of guts she does.. all right get the rest of these Prisoners onto the ship." Smoker said
SIR YES SIR!"
"Captian smoker HQ is on the Transponder Snail!" A marine said handing him the Snail
"This is Captian Smoker." smoker said
"Congratulations on subduing Sir Crocodile Captian...as a result the top officials of the World Goverment has ordered that both you and Sergeant majot Tahsigi given medals for your efforts"
"Subduing? wait hold on, we aren't the ones who took down Crocodile. it was the Straw Hats did anyone even bother to read the Report." smoker said
"further more as thanks, each of you have been promoted by one rank and-"
" I TOLD YOU! FOR THE LAST TIME! IT WASN"T US WHO TOOK DOWN CROCODILE AND BAROQUE WORKS IT WAS THOSE DAMN STRAW HAT PIRATES!" Smoker yelled
"Stop smoker, it's no use. it's obvious at this point the Government is going to cover up this entire incident, think of the scandal if word got out. Alabasta was almost toppled and it wasn't saved by the Goverment but instead by a group of wanted pirates." Hina said
" and of course we expect both of you to attend the award Cermony-
"LIKE HELL WE WILL!" smoker yelled
"Smoker Don't be dumb! accept it. if you disobey you could get court-Marshalled." Hina said
Better that then live a Lie! we didn;t take Crocodile down, my subordinate is in tears because we couldn't, Hey you could you pass on a personal message from me to the old Geezers At HQ" smoker said
"Don;t do it Smoker!" Hina said
"Tell them I said, go to hell." smoker said hanging up.
