Get captured by crocodile, Luffy beat crocodile, eacape the marines, Robin comes out of hiding

Stuck in a cell with the strawhats, Vivi, Captain Smoker, and Tashigi, Kuro decided to sing a song to pass the time.

"If it hadn't been for Captain Luffy

I'd be a marine admiral long ago

Where did you come from, where did you go?

Where did you come from, Captain Luffy?

He came to Shells Town with a grin on his face

He walked into the bar, so childish and innocent

His eyes was full of hope and his smile was so friendly

But all he had come for was food and crewmates

He brought joy and chaos wherever he went

The hearts his enemies was to Hell, broken, sent

They all got beat up without making him break a sweat

And left with their tail, between their legs '

All because of Captain Luffy..."

Nami smacked Kuro on the head, "Stop singing and try to get us out of here."

Kuro sighed and rubbed his head, "Don't worry about that, I got a plan."

"A plan?" Crocodile came in with Nico Robin.

He grinned at his captured targets, "Whatever plan you have, you won't be leaving here alive."

"Crocodile!" Luffy yelled.

Smoker's eyes narrowed at Crocodile.

There was despise on Tashigi's face.

Vivi gritted her teeth with hatred.

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper became fearful.

Zoro, Kuina, and Sanji studied Crocodile intently.

Kuro spoke aloud, "Ah, great, looks likes we're gonna have to listen to the villain who thinks he's won monologue."

Crocodile became blank as Nick Robin held back her laughter.

Kuro stared at Crocodile, "Well come on, monologue already, we don't got all day."

Usopp grabbed Kuro scared, "Don't agitate him Kuro!"

"Are you crazy!" Nami screeched scared.

Everyone stared at Crocodile wondering what he would do.

"You got on my nerves pretty well," Crocodile grinned, "Drown painfully for me please."

Everyone watched as Crocodile smashed the glass holding back the water with a sand attack.

Water started rushing into the room.

Crocodile left with and closed the door with Nico Robin.

"What now?" Tashigi wondered aloud.

A Bananawani broke through the glass and into the room.

"Wow, good job Kuro," Nami smiled.

"Thank you," Kuro replied and unlocked the cell with a key.

He walked out and everyone stared blankly.

"Come on Cap, you gotta beat Crocodile's ass," Kuro smiled.

"Yeah!" Luffy yelled and got out.

The Bananawani tried to attack Kuro only for Kuro to swipe at it and flip it over.

Jumping above the Bananawani's neck, Kuro delivered a stomp and the Bananawani coughed up Mister Three.

"Hahahaha, I'm free!" Mister Three proclaimed.

Seeing the rushing water and everyone trying to escape, Mister Three quickly followed after them.


Seeing the strawhats escape out of the casino, Crocodile and Nico Robin were blank.

With a pissed-off face, Crocodile chased after them.

When they got to the desert, Kuro yelled out loud, "Come forth Hasami."

A giant crab appeared out of the desert.

Kuro turned to the strawhats, "You guys get to Alubarna and meet up with Bon Chan to stop Baroque Works. I'll stay with Cap, good luck."

The strawhats got on the giant desert crab and rode off.

"I got your back Cap," Kuro smiled and sank into the ground, "Tell me when you don't feel like fighting Crocodile fairly."

Luffy nodded with determination.

A wave of sand rushed toward Luffy and stopped to reveal Crocodile.

He looked at Luffy with confidence, "Did you stay to die buying time?"

"I stayed to kick your ass," Luffy stated determinedly.

"A rookie who doesn't know anything, I'll make this desert your grave," Crocodile stated without care.

Luffy drank some water from a small barrel on his neck and drolled it on his hand.

Crocodile turned to sand and started launching attacks.

Luffy dodged Crocodile's attack as he tried to get used to Crocodile's battle rhythm.

Luffy knew Crocodile was someone like Mihawk so it was best to take his time getting used to Crocodile's way of fighting.

So far, Crocodile liked to keep his distance while throwing sand attacks.

Feeling he was comfortable enough with Crocodile's way of fighting, Luffy started fighting back.

A punch to the face sent Crocodile reeling back but the man had taken the hit like a champ.

Seeing that a rookie had managed to hit him did not make Crocodile feel happy.

He decided to get more serious.

Immediately, Luffy felt a change as Crocodile's attacks were faster and stronger.

For the first time in a long time, Luffy felt a strong threat to his life.

But Luffy wasn't fazed.

He was going to be king of the pirates so he should never back down.

Quickly and surely, Luffy adapted to Crocodile's battle rhythm again and managed to land another punch.

Crocodile took the hit like a champ again and Luffy knew he needed to hit harder.

"Second gear," Luffy muttered and his face got more serious.

Seeing that his ranged attacks weren't doing anything, Crocodile decided to get up close and personal with his hook.

He flew towards Luffy with his hook is ready to dig in.

Unfortunately, Luffy was faster.

Appearing before Crocodile, Luffy surprised him greatly.

Luffy punched his face and sent him flying back.

But Luffy knew that it wasn't enough to bring Crocodile down.

Stretching out his arm and grabbing Crocodile before the man could recover from the attack, Luffy swung the man up and proceeded to gatling gun.

Every hit landed and Crocodile's body spazzed with pain.

With the last of his consciousness fading, Crocodile regretted underestimating the rookie, just like how Whitebeard underestimated him.

Seeing Smoker and Tashigi appearing far away, Luffy knew it was time to leave, "Kuro."

"Aye ya captain," Kuro smiled.

A magic carpet appeared from the sand and Luffy beamed, "You're the magic carpet?"

"Always have been from the the day I joined you," the carpet spoke with Kuro's voice.

With second gear still running, Luffy remembered Zoro said magic carpet that one time and he quickly realized.

Grinning with excitement, Luffy got on the magic carpet, "Away away, let's go!" Luffy laughed.

"Hang on tight Cap!" Kuro laughed and the two flew away.

Far away, Nico Robin thought of how she could access the poneglpyh now that Crocodile was taken down.

She sighed, looks like that was impossible now, might as well try to find new people to latch on before Crocodile spill the bean.

Looking up at the sky, clouds appeared and it started raining.


Arriving at Alubarna, Luffy, and Kuro could see two armies who lost the will to fight.

Rain was falling everywhere.

Heading into the royal capital, the two saw the strawhats guarding king Cobra.

Luffy jumped off and fell towards them, "Hey guys!"

Kuro went towards a tower and swallowed the bomb that was going to explode.

He came back and greeted everyone.

Luffy started explaining to everyone how he beat Crocodile with pride.

"I use second gear and hit him hard, before he could recover, I gatling gun and defeated him," Luffy elaborated.

Needless to say, Zoro and Kuina were impressed since they got beaten by Mihawk, perhaps there was more to their dofus captain.

"Let's party!" Luffy yelled.

Everyone agreed and they started partying.

Vivi spent her time preciously with the strawhats since she knew they were going to leave soon.

After a few days, the strawhats decided to set off.

Finding their ship hidden by Bon Chan, the strawhats got on and tried to pass the navy blockade.

"This doesn't look good," Nami worried.

Everyone agreed and prepared themselves.

A lone marine ship sailed towards them.

They saw Smoker, Tashigi, and Captain Hina.

"End of the line," Smoker smoked.

"Prepare yourself," Tashigi stated.

"Let's see if Smoker here was bragging," Hina smiled.

They don't look so tough, "Usopp grinned.

"Yeah," Chopper cheered.

"Ima kick your ass this time Smoker!" Luffy yelled.

"Watch out guy, that's Captain Hina, Smoker's girlfriend, she can lock people with bars using her devil fruit," Kuro said seriously.

Dealing with logia was easy for Kuro but paramecia devil fruit user felt tricky.

As for Zoan, he just had to brute force them.

"Oh my," Hina thin cig almost fell out.

"What!?" Smoker cigs fell out.

Tashigi looked between the two with amazement wondering if it was true.

"How did you know?" Hina smiled.

Tashigi and Smoker looked at her wondering what.

Kuro grinned, "You two look like you both got lung cancer, perfect for each other, I'd say."

"Let's stop the chit chat," Smoker gritted.

Tashigi got serious.

Hina nodded with a smile and jumped towards the strawhats.

Smoker sent forth a blast of smoke that covered the Merry.

Hina was about to lock Usopp when Kuina blocked her.

"I don't think so," Kuina said dully.

Usopp realized Hina almost caught him and backed away with relief.

"This is payback, Kuro!" Tashigi yelled and attacked.

Luffy grabbed Tashigi wrist with a smile.

"How dare you hold a lady!" Sanji kicked Luffy.

Nami knocked Sanji on the head, "We're in a fight!"

Tashigi recovered but couldn't find Kuro anywhere.

From the marine blockade perspective, the smoke quickly expanded towards them and covered them.

Kuro sat at the top of the crow mast with Merry and the two watched the fight below.

Kuina and Hina seemed to be fighting at equals, but Kuro knew that once Kuina adapted to Hina devil fruit, it was over.

Smoker was trying to take out the weaker members but Zoro stood in his way.

Knowing that he had to take Zoro seriously, Smoker focused on trying to outplay Zoro.

Tashigi fought against Luffy, keeping the captain occupied.

Looking at the fight scene, Kuro felt they really needed a musician to play epic music while people were fighting for their life.

As the strawhats adapted to fighting against the three marines, so did the three marines.

Luffy's attacks were so predictable that Tashigi felt insulted if not for how strong his attacks were.

No matter how hard Hina tried to lock Kuina, Kuina would always avoid it and counterattack.

Zoro and Smoker were brute forcing against each other while trying to avoid the attacks of the other.

Eventually, Merry passed the blockade and appeared from out of the smoke.

"We're out captain, you can send them off if you would," Kuro smiled.

The three marines felt insulted at Kuro's words.

Luffy went second gear and blasted Hina and Tashigi off the Merry.

Seeing his comrade fall into the sea and knowing he couldn't win, Smoker backed off to save his comrades, "This won't be the last you see of me strawhats."

After sailing far enough, the strawhats saw Vivi and said their farewell goodbyes with tears.

"I already miss her," Nami let out.

"She was good company," Kuina smiled with a sigh.

Usopp's eye became wet, "Wish she stayed with us."

"She was so nice," Chopper reminiscent.

"I wonder if I'll ever get to see her beautiful hair again," Sanji thought wistfully.

Kuro thought of how cute Karoo was, "Karoo was the goat."

"I want to see her again," Luffy whined.

"Should have just kidnapped her if you all miss her so much," Zoro stated bluntly.

"Barbarian!" Nami responded.

"Knuckle head," Kuina dead eyes.

"Brute," Usopp replied.

"Bonehead," Chopper insulted.

"Moss head," Sanji dulled.

"Smooth brain," Kuro smiled.

"Three sword style," Luffy stated.

Kuro looked at Luffy with an O, "I think that was a little too savage Cap, even for you. Zoro might need some cold water for that."

"Huh why?" Luffy questioned.

Before everyone could even comprehend the conversation, the door below the deck opened.

"Looks like we're in the clear," Nico Robin smiled.

"Ah shit, here we go again," Kuro sighed and pinched his nose.
