I don't own One Piece
Hey! Please tell me you guys aren't planning to run all the way to Alubarna! Said Ussop.
We've got Eyelash said Nami.
Just where the hell is that stupid camel anyway? Said Nami.
He's close I hope said Lucy.
Don't this town have a stable Let's get some horses said Lucy.
But the whole town is crawling with Marines said Vivi.
Not to worry look ahead said Sanji.
Hey, guys hop on said Chopper.
Ah! A crab said Ussop.
Chopper said Nami.
That's a Moving Crab said Vivi.
Yummy said, Lucy.
Whoa, it's awesome! I can't believe my eye said Lucy.
I bet it's delicious said Lucy.
All aboard said Chopper.
We get to ride it! Said Lucy.
Please to meet ya said Lucy.
It is just me or does its face look kind of shady? Asks Nami.
Who cares at least we have a ride said Sanji.
Say hello, he's Eyelash's friend said Chopper.
Eyelash has lots of friends in this area because it's his hometown, he was born and raised here said Chopper.
He's nice but kind of pervy said Chopper.
I can't believe you found one, Moving Crabs are always submerged under the sand so it's nearly impossible to spot one said Vivi.
Judging by its size I'd say this guy is pretty fast said Zoro.
Okay, time to move out said Chopper.
Hang on everyone here we go said Chopper.
Then Crocodile's hook grabs Vivi around the waist and pulls her back.
Chopper, stop the crab said Zoro.
It's him said Lucy.
Lucy stretches her arms and switches places with Vivi, tossing her back towards the others.
Hey, Lucy said Zoro.
That damn idiot said Sanji.
Lucy, no said Vivi.
You guys go on ahead! Don't worry about me said Lucy.
Make sure you deliver Vivi home, safe and sound you have to promise me said Lucy.
Good luck, you guys said Lucy.
Idiot said Zoro.
Hey let's go Chopper, just keep going to Alubarna said Zoro.
Right, okay said Chopper.
Let's go crab said Chopper.
Lucy listen! We'll be waiting for you! Yells Vivi.
We'll be in Alubarna! Yells Vivi.
Yeah! Yells Lucy.
You could say Princess Vivi slipped threw our fingers said Miss All Sunday.
No matter the agents are still scheduled to gather in Alubarna said Crocodile.
Contact them at once said Crocodile.
Straw Hat I'd say you've taken this nonsense a little too far said Crocodile.
Nonsense? Vivi doesn't see it that way said Lucy.
You see unlike most people she genuinely cares about others said Lucy.
I guess deep down she's not demented and not too realistic said Lucy.
Take this revolt for example she believes no one needs to die said Lucy.
Nobody needs to die? Said Crocodile.
The probelm with idealistic fools like Princess Vivi is they take a stand without any compethenation of what is truly involved in a real fight said Crocodile.
Wouldn't you agree? Said Crocodile.
Yep said Lucy.
But that doesn't change the fact that as long as you're around Vivi's gonna fight until she either wins or dies trying said Lucy.
So I figure i'll take you down right here said Lucy.
Such a foolish girl said Crocodile.
Despite what the idealists cry about there's one constant truth, on the rough battlefields of life you either kill or die said Crocodile.
Yeah prove you're the bigger fool here said Lucy.
Miss All Sunday laughs
You think something's funny? Said Crocodile.
Perhaps you'd like to die as well Nico Robin said Crocodile.
If wanna try to right ahead and didn't you promise not to call me by that name said Miss All Sunday.
Where are you going? Asks Crocodile.
I'm heading to Alubarna see you there said Miss All Sunday.
Damn it, i'll never figure her out said Crocodile.
Crocodile tosses an hourglass into the sand.
I've got 3 minutes to spare
After that I'm certain your time will have run out as well said Crocodile.
Your 3 minutes are counting down I don't have any more time to waste on the likes of you said Crocodile.
It's your move girl said Crocodile.
With pleasure said Lucy.
Gum-Gum Pistol said Lucy.
And Gum-Gum Stamp said Lucy.
By now it should be quite obvious but i'll warn you, you cannot defeat me said Crocodile.
Gum-Gum Gatling said Lucy.
Listen to my warning and take heed if you continue this senseless attack you will have accomplished nothing said Crocodile.
And wasted what little time you have left said Crocodile.
Good ridens you lousy old sand guy said, Lucy.
You're wasting you're time girl said Crocodile.
You bastard said Lucy.
No matter how hard you fight the truth there's no way a rubber freak like you even hope to beat me said Crocodile.
I'm sorry my fist interrupted you now what was thatr? Said Lucy.
I've had my fill of your pathetic fun and games, let's end this now said Crocodile.
Fun and game? Trust me I'm dead serious jerk said Lucy.
We may both be pirates but you fall grossly short on skill said Crocodile.
Desert Spada said Crocodile.
Lucy dodges the attack.
Nice reflexes girl, a full-on hit from that attack would have killed you said Crocodile.
What the? That's one big hole said Lucy.
You may have Devil Fruit powers but lack discipline and training said Crocodile.
With that your skills could be as formidable as any said Crocodile.
But you're not there yet, like so many fools you waste time obsessing over your abilities. Gimmicks get you only so far in a fight without the skill set to back them up said Crocodile.
Desert Girasole said Crocodile.
What in the? What's going on? Said Lucy.
The sand is stinking! What is this?! Said Lucy.
What is this stuff?! Let me out! Let me out! Let me out said Lucy.
What's wrong never heard of quicksand? It makes for a convent desert burial when you need to get rid of someone in a hurry said Crocodile.
The sand is drawn down into underground waterways and I have the good fortune of being able to detect exactly where they are said Crocodile.
If you think I'm gonna let myself be buried alive in this sand you got another thing coming said Lucy.
You bastard! Said Lucy.
Gum-Gum Bazooka said Lucy.
If I can't slug you then maybe I can catch you instead said Lucy.
Gum-Gum Net said Lucy.
Haven't you learned anything, Moron? Said Crocodile.
Ridiculous said Crocodile.
Shut up said Lucy.
Gum-Gum Whip said Lucy.
This is really getting old said Crocodile.
Let go I'm warning you said Lucy.
Crescent Cutlass said Crocodile.
My-my arm! Said Lucy.
Aah! Said Lucy.
What did you do? It's all shriveled up like a mummy said Lucy,
You turned my arm into a mummy said Lucy.
Be quiet this is the price you pay the sand has absorbed all the moisture from your arm said Crocodile.
You're lucky all I decided to attack was your arm, I can do this all day long said Crocodile.
Until you're a pile of dust said Crocodile.
You gotta be kidding me! Said Lucy.
That's it water said Lucy.
Lucy drinks the water given to her by Toto and her arm redyarats.
All in vain said Crocodile.
You're wrong Sandy said Lucy.
You see that old guy in Yuba gave me this barrel of water he spent all night digging it up just for me said Lucy.
He's not scared and neither am I said Lucy.
I'm not about to give into the sand without a fight said Lucy.
Gum-Gum said Lucy.
This is getting ridiculous said Crocodile.
Munch-Munch said Lucy.
Enough! This ends now said Crocodile.
Vermin it is time to die said Crocodile.
Both you and the accursed land of Yuba said Crocodile.
Your 3 minutes are up like I said at the start I don't have time to fool around with anyway longer said Crocodile.
Now Sables said Crocodile.
Ah the sand is so soothing and dry said Crocodile.
Listen carefully can you hear it move? This land's prevailing wind always blows from north to south and so if this infantile sandstorm of mine were to say catch one of these winds it would grow until it became a monster and this path south where do you think it would strike? Said Crocodile.
Tell me said Lucy.
In Yuba said Crocodile.
No not there said Lucy.
Damn it why the hell are you doing this? Stop it said Lucy.
Look it's started it's headed south said Crocodile.
That nice old man has nothing to do with this do you hear me? Said Lucy.
Stop it or I swear I'll kill you, you bastard said Lucy.
You leave that old man alone said Lucy.
You can not alter fate, that sandstorm is going to pick up strength said Crocodile.
And eventually, it will become strong that even I can't stop it said Crocodile.
I don't believe you! Liar said, Lucy.
Yuba is finished said Crocodile.
If you don't end this now I will said, Lucy.
Crocodile then pieces Lucy through the middle with his hook.
Crocodile goes on a rant.
Lucy grabs Crocodile's arm but much to his surprise.
What's this? You're still alive? Said Crocodile.
Crocodile tosses Lucy into the quicksand pit.
That looks like it hurt said Crocodile.
But you'll be out of your misery soon enough said Corocdile.
Goodbye said Crocodile.
Scene change
Miss All Sunday saves Lucy with her Devil Fruit powers.
Thank you said Lucy.
Why do you fight? Asks Miss All Sunday.
Those of you with the name of D? Said Miss All Sunday.
D? Said Lucy.
Apparently, you don't have a clue what I'm talking about said Miss All Sunday.
I found you said, Pell.
Where is Vivi? Asks Pell.
My awake already? Said Miss All Sunday.
Now that I've studied your ability this won't turn out like it last time said Pell.
Be careful Pell don't wanna to expert yourself said Miss All Sunday.
Perfecting time why don't you save the girl before she dies, after all, if it weren't for her courage and selflessness who if your Princess would have made it back alive at all said Miss Sunday.
It must please you to know Vivi is safe but even as we speak she's on her way to Alubarna, though it's a long trip and anything could happen said Miss All Sunday.
Guess the situation is what it is said Miss All Sunday.
Meat said, Lucy.
Hey girl, are you alright? Asks Pell.
Need meat said Lucy.
Meat said, Lucy.
Meat? Said Pell.
You don't need food now that's the least of your worries said Pell.
Hang on i'll get a doctor for you said Pell.
I'm going to make sure Crocodile pays for this said Lucy.
He insulted Vivi and that old man with a shovel digging for water he's definitely gonna pay said, Lucy.
Who is this girl? Said Pell.
Need meat said Lucy.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Straws Hats make it to Alubarna and split up to engage the Baroque Works officer agents. Fighting breaks out between the Royal and Rebel armies. Crocodile and Miss All Sunday arrive and take the King Cobra hostage and then after Corocidle lets Vivi fall from the castle wall Lucy shows up riding Pell.
Crocodile said Lucy.
Lucy said to Vivi.
It can't be said Crocodile.
Lucy and Pell save Vivi.
Small time skip
Best of luck, Lucy said Pell.
Be careful said Pell.
I ate tons of meat bird guy, i'll be just fine said Lucy.
I won't lose to you said Lucy.
How did she make it out of the quicksand with all her injuries? Said Crocodile.
Then Ussop and Chopper arrive.
See? See? She's still alive said Ussop.
What did I tell you I knew along said Ussop.
Really? Said Chopper.
For someone who knew it along you sure look surprised said Sanji.
Then Sanji, Nami, and Zoro arrive.
Ussop who asked you to create some useless prop for parties? said Nami.
Oh come on you're standing up just fine said Zoro.
Nami my love said Sanji.
Well, it did have a powerful attack, right Nami said Ussop.
Just shut up I am going to deal with you later said Nami.
Vivi, what's going on? Asks Nami.
What's up with all this dust flying everywhere? Asks Nami.
I'm sorry you huys said Lucy.
I know I lost to him once already said Lucy.
But this time said Lucy.
This time I'm gonna win the rest is up to you said Lucy.
So get going already said Zoro.
If you can't beat this guy then I don't know anybody who can said Ussop.
I'm gonna put an end to this said Lucy.
For good said Lucy.
Lucy said Vivi.
Crocodile said Lucy.
Try all you want but no matter how many times you swing you'll never hit me said Crocodile.
I guess you didn't get enough the first time huh? Said Crocodile.
Crocodile starts to turn into sand but Lucy punches him and this time it hits him.
Who's that? Asks Cobra.
How can she hit me? Said Crocodile.
Lucy headbutts Crocodile.
She hit Crocodile said Cobra.
Get up said Lucy.
I figured something out when some of my Yuba water dropped on your hand, once you touch water then you can't turn into sand anymore said Lucy.
You took away all the rain because you're afraid of water, didn't you? Said Lucy.
I know how to defeat you Crocodile said Lucy.
Our real fight is starting now said Lucy.
Get up said Lucy.
It's time to fight said Lucy.
Now Crocodile said, Lucy.
Come on you think you can defeat me? Said Crocodile.
Sure do now that I figured out how to stop you from turning into sand said Lucy.
I'll admit I'm impressed you figured it out especially since you were about to die said Crocodile.
But I hope you realize something like that isn't merely enough to make this an easy fight said Crocodile.
I am one of the seven warlords of the sea said Crocodile.
So what if you're one of the seven dumb warlords I guess that makes me the eighth warlord said Lucy,
Really? Who is that girl? Asks Cobra.
She's a pirate I'm surprised you haven't heard about her yet said Miss All Sunday.
She's helped your darling Princess Vivi escape from death a few times now said Miss All Sunday.
So then she is the one responsible for bringing Vivi back? Said Cobra.
Gum-Gum Pistol said Lucy.
Crocodile reminds Lucy he can absorb the water in her body.
Aw, crap I forgot about the trick said Lucy.
Alright, not said Lucy.
But remember how you told me Devil Fruit powers get stronger? Said Lucy.
Gum-Gum Pistol said Lucy.
Shoutgun said, Lucy.
Desert Spada said Crocodile,
Uh oh said, Lucy.
Barely said, Lucy.
Now Gum-Gum Pistol said, Lucy.
This was my plan from the beginning to get you wet said Lucy.
Of course, your plan was obvious said Crocodile.
Sables said Crocodiles.
Barrel said Lucy.
You're struggling so hard Shrat Hat Lucy you can't do anything at all without that barrel of yours now, can you? Said Crocodile.
This isn't any different from my first fight against you after all said Crocodile.
Yeah, you're right Crocodile said Lucy.
It isn't any different like this said Lucy.
Then she consumes the whole barrel of water.
How about this? Said Lucy.
Now I'm not th same as I was huh? Said Lucy.
You gotta be kidding me? Said Crocodile.
Water Lucy said Lucy.
Oh no, a leak! Said Lucy.
I guess I shouldn't have choked down so much water said Lucy.
Damn it stop your messing around said Crocodile.
Crocodile attacks but Lucy doozy him with water.
Who said I was messing around? Yells Lucy.
I'm always serious! You show you said Lucy.
Now Gum-Gum Bazooka said Lucy.
How was that Sand Croc? Asks Lucy.
That's amazing said Cobra.
Then Miss All Sunday orders King Cobra to take her to the Poneglyph.
You're lucks begging to run out, you certainly did try but much time left said Miss All Sunday.
You should get going now Nico Robin unless you want to be dried up along with this brat said Crocodile.
Go now said Crocodile.
I'm done playing games said Crocodile.
Nico Robin? Said Cobra.
Yes as you wish said Robin.
They leave.
Listen up Straw Hat I'm going to destroy every last rock on this ground and you along with them said Crocodile.
Ground Seco said Crocodile.
Ah! I'm falling said Lucy.
That was close said Lucy.
Alright, Water-Water Pistol said Lucy.
Ah! His hand sucks it up said Lucy.
You actually thought you could kill my powers didn't you Water Lucy? Said Crocodile.
That was a very foolish mistake to make said Crocodile.
The true power of sand is drying things out watch said Crocodile.
My right hand can suck the life out of anything by turning it to dust said Crocodile.
Its power is limitless said Crocodile.
He wasn't exaggerating even the statues are crumbling said Lucy.
Everything is just dying said Lucy.
Ah! My sandal said, Lucy.
Everything that is connected to the ground is done for including you said Crocodile.
Ground Death said Crocodile.
Time skip.
That was bad said Lucy.
That right hand of his is gonna be a big problem said Lucy.
The entire lawn had been turned into a desert said Lucy.
Oh great where'd he go now? Said Lucy.
Crocodile appears before her.
I'm quite tired of wasting my time with you said Crocodile.
He grabs Lucy by the neck.
She fires water at him but he tilts his head.
Missed me said Crocodile.
Then he sucks all the moisture out of her body.
You have lost to me two times now Straw Hat Lucy said Crocodile.
This is a good way to die within 6 minutes this yard be blown up along with the square said Crocodile.
I'd stay but I'm in a hurry you just wait right there ok? Said Crocodile.
And then you can celebrate the new king of the sand country said Crocodile.
Crocodile takes off.
Then the water Lucy fired at Crocodile lands on her rehydrating her.
Ah! That was way too close said Lucy.
That bastard he took off said Lucy.
I think he flew off in that direction said Lucy.
He won't get away with this, damn him said Lucy.
Scene change
Crocodile said Lucy.
Straw Hat said Tashigi.
Where'd he go? Where? Asks Lucy.
Tell me right which way did he go? Said Lucy.
Tashig points in a direction.
Towards the temple, that way said Tashigi.
That direction? Thank you said Lucy.
She takes off.
Time skip
Lucy finds Crocodile.
So it's you said Crocodile.
You can't get away said Lucy.
You're mine said Lucy.
How are you still alive? Asks Crocodile.
No matter how many times I kill you, you just keep coming back for more said Crocodile.
Well, answer me brat said Crocodile.
Tell me just how many times do you have to die? Said Crocodile.
There's something you still need to return Crocodile and I came here to get it back said Lucy.
What is this thing I took? Is it money? Is it fame? Or people's trust? Their lives? Is it Rain? Asks Crocodile.
I have taken all of those things so which is it that you want me to give back Straw Hat? Said Crocodile.
This land said, Lucy.
The Land? Really you should know better than that by now said Crocodile.
I have no intention of relinquishing this country, why would I? Said Crocodile.
When I'm going to become its next King before long said Crocodile.
I came to this island to save Vivi's country but then we got here it was gone said Lucy.
You stole her country said Lucy.
I will defeat you, take this country out of your evil hands, and then Vivi will smile again said Lucy.
Threaten as much as you like but without any water, you are nothing said Crocodile.
Lucy Kicks him and he crashes into the wall.
Lucy cracks her knuckles and stretches her arm.
No said Crocodile
I see you are using your blood said Crocodile.
Clever said Crocodile.
Blood can hurt the sand too, can't it? Said Lucy.
First Rainbase and then the Royal Palace and now this underground temple said Crocodile.
You should be rewarded for your insistence on challenging me even after I put you through hell twice now you keep coming back said Crocodile.
Why you said, Lucy.
You're a pirate Straw Hat said Crocodile.
You've certainly proven that in your determination to defeat me no matter, the cost said Crocodile.
And i'll admit you've become an annoyingly persistent open during our three encounters
Alright, what's that? Asks Lucy.
A poisonous hook said Crocodile.
I see said Lucy.
You seem to be a component pirate I suppose so surely you must understand that a duel between pirates is always about two people fighting for survival and when that's the case there's no such thing as playing dirty said Crocodile.
When the explosion happens in the square this place will most likely crumble to dust said Crocodile.
This will be our final battle so let's settle this once and for all said Crocodile.
Lucy stretches her arm to punch Crocodile but he dodges.
Gum-Gum Pistol said Lucy.
As the fight continues the temple continues to fall apart.
You were skewered, buried alive, and dried up said Crocodile.
You may have made it through all that but you won't escape this time Straw Hat said Crocodile.
There's no hope for survival the game is over, this poison will spread through you soon said Crocodile.
You know Crocodile you don't understand said Lucy.
What is it that you think I do not understand Straw Hat? Asks Crocodile
Lucy doesn't answer but attacks instead but Crocodile jumps out of the way.
Gum-Gum Gatling said Lucy.
I don't think you understand you're going to die here very soon said Crocodile.
The poison from my hook has entered your wound, you're body is probably becoming numb right now said Crocodile.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose this fight your body will still be buried underneath the rubble when this temple collapses said Crocodile.
Crocodile berates Lucy.
I said you really don't understand anything, do you? Said Lucy.
Vivi said, Lucy.
Viv is always telling people not to risk their lives said Lucy.
Yet she's the first to lay down her life in order to save others said Lucy.
You still don't get it said Crocodile.
That's what makes her such a burden said Crocodile.
So why not ditch the Princess and save yourselves? Asks Crocodile.
Because none of us want Vivi to die! Helping each other is what friends do! Said Lucy.
And that's why none of us will leave her behind or quit fighting you said Lucy.
As long as she doesn't give up on her country neither will we said Lucy.
Even if that means all the rest of you end up dead? Asks Crocodile.
If we die we die that's all there is to it said Lucy.
He laughs.
You can talk as tough as you want and keep blathering on about friendship if you like but your body is still freezing up on you said Crocodile.
You look pathetic Straw Hat said Crocodile.
Crocodile then tells Cobra the bomb is actually a time bomb.
A time bomb? Said Cobra.
No said Cobra.
I was very well prepared Cobra you have to admit that much surely said Crocodile.
The most successful mission always account for unforeseen circumstances said Crocodile.
In this case for instance, even if something happens to the cannoneers the cannonball will still explode on its own, and the attack will only be delayed by a few seconds or so said Crocodile.
Of course, I did originally want it to be shot at the center of the square but the cannonball was big enough that it should do plenty of damage from right where it is said Crocodile.
Small time skip
At last, my time has finally arrived said Crocodile.
The day my grand ambition is realized said Crocodile.
Alabasta now belongs to me said Crocodile.
Lucy gets up.
You can't… defeat me said Lucy.
You finally managed to speak and that's all you can come up with? Said Crocodile.
I suppose it's an expectable bluff from a loser who's about to die said Crocodile.
But of course, like any bluff, it's empty air said Crocodile.
Listen I'm the girl who will be Queen of the Pirates said Lucy.
Listen up you damn brat if you really knew anything about these seas you wouldn't make such an idiotic statement said Crocodile.
I told you before there are thousands of rookies just like you, everyone chasing a naive little dream said Crocodile.
The sooner you understand the true level of the Grand Line the sooner you'll give up on your foolish dream said Crocodile.
Lucy manages to break Crocodile's hook.
I'm the one who's gonna beat you said Lucy.
Lucy then thrashes Crocodile.
Then a knife appear where Crocodile's hook was.
You're just a two-bit nobody who comes from who knows where said Crocodile.
You can't beat me said Crocodile.
Do you have any idea who am i? Said Crocodile.
I don't care who you are because it doesn't matter said Lucy.
Whoever you are I will beat you! Yells Lucy.
She kicks him into the air.
Now fall with this ancient temple and let the desert sand buty you said Crocodile.
Sables Pasado said Crocodile.
Gum-Gum said, Lucy.
Desert said Crocodile.
Storm said Lucy.
La Spada said Crocodile.
The force of the attack sends Crocodile through the bedrock and up into the skies of Alubarna,
Amazing said Cobra.
The Rain returns to Alabasta it's revealed that everything that had happened in the country for the last 3 years was all Crocodile's doing. The Straw Hats leave to look for Lucy and get out of Alabasta.
Scene change
Come on Ussop I know you're hurt but keep up said Sanji.
I wish I could but I'm coming down with "If I walk anyone, i'll die" disease said Ussop.
I'll drag you then said Zoro.
Wait, stop said Ussop.
Let me go or I could come down with "If I get dragged anymore i'll die" Diesae said Ussop.
Found her said Zoro.
Who are you? Asks Cobra.
Uh, just travelers passing through, and the girl on your back is one of us as well said Sanji.
We'll take him now, thanks old man said Sanji.
Hold on if you're with this young lady then you must be those pirates who brought Vivi back to this country said Cobra.
Wait how would you know all that? Asks Sanji.
Daddy! Everyone! Said Vivi.
Hey, Vivi said Chopper.
Daddy? Said Sanji.
What? This guy is Vivi's dad? Said Sanji.
Guess that makes you the king said Zoro.
Yes, and I'd be a dead king if it weren't for the efforts of your brave young friend here said Cobra.
Even though she had come into contact with Crocodile's poison hook she still managed to carry myself and another to safety, Unbelievable strength she has said Cobra.
Should we be worried about the poison? I mean is she gonna be alright? Asks Ussop.
It's okay it should be neutralized by now said Cobra.
However her injuries need to be treated, so do yours as well said Cobra.
We'll wait you need to be somewhere else said Zoro.
Go back to the square Vivi said Zoro.
Heheh! He's right, now that the war is over it's only for the King and Princess to say a few words don't you think said Ussop.
You know tell 'em what really happened said Ussop.
Right and I can tell them all about guys too said Vivi.
Vivi dear please don't said Sanji.
We're a band of notorious pirates the last thing we need is our faces and names known said Sanji.
But what we do need is food said Chopper.
And rest, we'd like to crash a the palace if that's ok said Nami.
The King and Princess go back to the square and the Straw Hats fall over and sleep.
Scene change
Yes sir! Understood Captain Smoker! Said Tashigi.
I've just been informed that a Baroque Works ship has been seized one that makes artificial rain using Dance Powder said Tashigi.
You being Baroque Works president I have been ordered to tell you this said Tashigi.
Sir Crocodile one of the seven warlords of the sea, by the authority of the World Government I hereby strip you of your authorization to capture enemy ships as well as all the titles and rights bestowed upon you by the government. Additionally, you and all Baroque Works agents are under arrest said Tashigi.
The Marines try to arrest the Straw Hat crew but Tashigi won't let them.
3 days later
Oh man I slept good said Lucy.
Hey, my hat! Where the heck is my hat? Said Lucy.
I'm starving too where's my breakfast? Said Lucy.
My hat! My breakfast! My hat! My breakfast! Said Lucy.
You just woke up and you're already making a racket and it won't be breakfast it's dinner it's evening said Sanji.
You're hats right over there Lucy said Ussop.
Lucky for you a soldier found it near the front of the palace said Ussop.
I missed ya said, Lucy.
I'm so relieved you finally got well Lucy said Vivi.
Got well? What do you mean? I was never not well said Lucy.
You dummy you were in really bad shape and had a high fever, Vivi and Chopper have been taking care of you all this time said Nami.
Really? Thanks you guys said Lucy.
Oh Lucy you woke up said Zoro.
Zoro long time no see said Lucy.
Wait a minute said Lucy.
How dare you! you were out training weren't you? Said Chopper.
So what I didn't need your permission said Zoro.
Of course, you did! I'm your doctor! Where are your bandages? Said Chopper.
It was too hard to move with them on said Zoro.
You shouldn't be moving said Chopper.
Long time no see? Why'd I say that? Said Lucy.
Probably because it has been long you've been asleep for 3 entire days said Ussop.
3 days? 3 whole days? Said Lucy.
Uh-huh said Ussop.
I've missed 15 meals said Lucy.
You calculate quickly when it comes to food said Nami.
By her count that's like 5 meals a day said Ussop.
I heard the captain's awake said a woman.
Dinner will be served shortly, I hope you're all hungry said the woman.
What? Said Zoro.
Hey, old tube-haired guy, you're still alive? Said Lucy.
So that cross-dressing thing wasn't just an act said Zoro.
No everyone you're mistaken said Vivi.
This is Terracotta, She's Igaram's wife and the head of the Palace's servers said Vivi.
Thank you for helping Vivi and my husband said Teracotta.
I've heard of wives resembling their husbands but this is too weird said Zoro.
I heard the captain eats a lot so I had my staff put together a little snack to tide you and your friends over said Terracotta.
Thank you said Lucy.
She eats all in one but.
Greedy pig! Yells Sanji and Zoro.
I'm gonna need 3 days worth of food, lady said Lucy.
Oh, a challenge! Good I'm looking forward to it said Terracotta.
I've never lost to anyone's stomach so eat to your heart's content said Terracotta.
By dinner eat the Straw Hats do.
This smells good said Zoro.
Lucy you just snatched my food, didn't you? Said Ussop.
You lair said Nami.
Hey, you keep eating like that you're gonna choke said Sanji.
There's plenty more said Vivi.
Snatch my food will you, some hot sauce will fix you said Ussop.
Hah serves you right Lucy said Zoro.
Eyelash when did you get here? Said Ussop.
What do you call that dish? Asks Sanji.
Yummy said Nami.
Old man, I never knew you were the King! I bet that also means you're Vivi's dad huh? Said Lucy,
That's pretty cool said Lucy.
Uh maybe we should talk after dinner said Cobra.
Yeah okay said Lucy.
We need another round down here guys said Zoro.
And water down here said Sanji.
Soon everyone is laughing.
Time skip
Tonight? Said Ussop.
Yep said Nami.
We have to leave said Chopper.
The Marines know we're here, more will be coming said Zoro.
I agree with Nami said Zoro.
We need to get out now said Zoro.
Me too and just cause she's got a pretty face said Sanji.
Do you think we should leave Lucy? Asks Ussop.
Yeah but on;y after we've had some more yummy food said Lucy.
No, now you idiot said Sanji.
Scene change
Not bad said Zoro.
So one final farewell oh kingdom of the sand said Ussop.
Lucy, aren't you full yet? Asks Ussop.
These Alabasta dishes are great aren't they Sanji? You should make them sometime said Lucy.
Yeah, I liked them too so I got some recipes from Terracotta. I also got some of their local spices said Sanji.
Um, what's wrong Nami? Are you sick? Asks Chopper.
I'll give you a piece of this if you want, just a small one said Lucy.
Nami if you're thinking about Vivi again, I understand said Sanji.
Listen moping around about it won't help, I know it must be really hard for you, you two got close, just keep your chin up okay said Sanji.
It's not that said Nami.
I'm just sad we didn't take the reward, the 1 billion Beri's said Nami.
You're moping about the money?! Said Sanji.
Ah! Ussop fell off said Chopper.
Ah! You shouldn't mislead people like that Nami said Zoro.
What do you think I was upset about? We just walked away from a huge payday that we actually earned said Nami.
Guys, Ussop fell down said Chopper.
That's his problem said Nami.
But you caused it! Yells the others.
The Straw Hats make it back to the Going Merry.
Finally, Long time no see my friends said Mr. 2.
Did you guys miss little old me? Asks Mr. 2.
Not a bit said Zoro.
Let's unload said Sanji.
Later ducks thanks for the lift said Sanji.
Yeah you ducks take care of yourselves said Ussop.
Have a safe trip said Zoro.
Say bye to the king, the old tube guy, and all the others for us said Lucy.
So long fellas said Ussop.
Farewell may you ulgy ducklings turn into beautiful swans said Mr. 2.
Wait hold on said Mr. 2.
Yeah, what? Said Sanji.
Don't "Yeah, what?" Me that's just rude, you should learn some manners pretty boy said Mr. 2.
Friends aren't supposed to talk to their friends that way! Said Mr. 2.
Quit saying that you weirdo said Lucy.
We're not friends, we're enemies, you lied to us said Lucy.
No, I didn't, I just didn't mention I was a member of Baroque Works said Mr. 2.
Besides none really matters now, does it? Said Mr. 2.
Baroque Works is done for now and that means we're no longer enemies said Mr. 2.
Hey move it said Zoro.
Oh, my bad said Mr. 2.
Well if we're not enemies ballerina guy, then why the heck did you steal our ship? Asks Lucy.
Oh, how dumb are you? Asks Mr. 2.
Watch it said, Lucy.
Listen if I hadn't taken your little ship from where it was moored what do you think would have happened to it? Said Mr. 2.
The Marines probably would have seized it said Nami.
Change thar probably to a definitely, honey said Mr. 2.
The Marines have been looking all over for you guys and your ship, Every port in the country has been blockaded, lock down said Mr. 2.
Hey hold on, you telling us you took the Going Merry, so the Marines wouldn't? Said Lucy.
Really? Said Ussop.
How come? Asks Chopper.
Cause you huys are my friends said Mr.2.
Need help loading? Asks Nami.
Nope, this the last one said Sanji.
Friends yeah right said Zoro.
Tell the truth twinkle-toes said Zoro.
You and your crew don't have a chance getting through that blockade but you might if you had us as allies said Zoro.
Bon Clay said the three.
That's right but in times such as these we have to band together under the Flag of friendship said Bon Clay.
If you believe in true friendship say "Aye" said Bon Clay.
Aye said the three.
Yeah, Straws Hats said Mr. 2 men.
Where were you guys?! Said Zoro.
Time skip.
Dammit, shoot cannonballs said Lucy.
I can't deflect pointy things said Lucy.
If we take any more iron spears to the bottom of the ship it will just be a matter of time before we sink said Sanji.
Hey, I can't keep plugging these holes you guys said Chopper.
Don't just stand there do something said Nami.
What more can we do it takes all our effort to protect one side said Sanji.
One ship vs. eight isn't a fair fight said Sanji.
If this was hand-to-hand combat we'd have a better chance said Zoro.
We're stuck said Zoro.
Whether we chase them or run away they won't change their formation said Zoro.
Hey hypnotist I thought you were a pirate! Said Lucy.
I am! Now why don't just shut up? My reasons are my own said Jango.
Ussop did you that? Amazing said Lucy.
Yes, just I calculated, it was me said Ussop.
That's what happens to enemy ships when I'm on the job said Ussop.
That was amazing Nosey the ships to the south have all sunk nothing can prevent us from breaking through said Bon Clay.
Man: Bon Clay we got trouble.
What's wrong? Said Bon Clay.
Men: Black Cage.
No said, Bon Clay.
What is going on? Asks Lucy.
Black Cage Hina, she's a Marine Captain, we're in her jurisdiction said Bon Clay.
She's a real pain we need to hurry up and fly the coop said Bon Clay.
Men: Yes sir, Mr. Bon Clay sir.
You guys need to wake up wed have to run said, Bon Clay.
If we can pass through that point on the south we can escape said Bon Clay.
But if we don't change course immediately they take us down for sure said Bon Clay.
If wanna go, go we can't go that way said Lucy.
And exactly why not? Said Bon Clay.
We need to be at the Eastern Harbor we've got an appointment said Nami.
There's no time to go around, we'll go straight through said Nami.
What? Suicide said Bon Clay.
It's Ludacris is there some treasure about that's worth throwing away your lives? Said Bon Clay.
Fine run off and die said Bon Clay.
We have to get one of our friends said Lucy.
So it's for your pal that you'd risk it all? Asks Bon Clay.
Running now would go against what Bon Clay stands for said Bon Clay.
If we abandon allies who are risking their lives to pick up a friend could we live with ourselves tomorrow? Said Bon Clay.
Listen, guys, Straw Hats too, what I must say is of great importance said Bon Clay.
Time skip
Vivi said Chopper.
Forget about it, you heard the speech, that was Vivi's voice without a doubt said Zoro.
They're just broadcasting the ceremony that's being held in Alubarna, Vivi's already made up her mind not to come here said Sanji.
No, I don't buy I think she's here said Lucy.
This is the place, right? Asks Lucy.
Yeah, that's it said Zoro.
Let's go it's past noon said Sanji.
There's no way she wouldn't have come, she's definitely here said Lucy,
Let's get out and look for her said Lucy.
This is bad guys the Marines are after us again said Ussop.
Exactly how many ships are out there? Asks Zoro.
I see at least six said Ussop.
dammit let's move said Zoro.
Give it up Lucy, Vivi's course is on a road far different from ours said Sanji.
Everyone said a voice.
Vivi said, Lucy.
Karoo said Ussop.
Vivi said Nami.
See she came said Lucy.
Vivi said Sanji.
We need to go back better hurry said Ussop.
The Marines are right behind us too said Chopper.
I came to say goodbye yells Vivi.
What did she say? Asks Lucy.
Sorry, but I can't go with you! Thank you so much for everything said, Vivi.
I'd like to go on more adventures but I can't ignore the needs of my country which I love more than anything said Vivi.
I have to say I hope you understand said Vivi.
I see said Lucy.
Thank you said Vivi.
I will… I will remain here and fulfill my duty said Vivi.
If we ever meet again no matter how much time passes, you can still call your friend said Vivi.
You'll forever said, Lucy.
Idiot! Said Nami.
Don't reply got it? The Marines now know about Vivi and us said Nami.
If they can prove she has a connection to us, it's all over, she'll be considered a criminal said Nami.
Turn away not another word said Nami.
Set sail said Lucy.
Whoa those Marines are fast said Lucy.
Or rather we're begging to slow down said Sanji.
We're not gonna make it much further like this, water's flooding in from the holes said Nami.
Here they come said Zoro.
We gotta fight said Sanji.
Let's go said Lucy.
They trip over the iron spikes.
What's this? Said the trio.
Oh, that? Ussop said to hold to them in case we needed them for something said Nami.
Who knows said Nami.
Come on! Said Zoro.
They're in our way said Sanji.
I'll get rid of them said Lucy.
Lucy throws the spikes back at the Marines.
OK, now are we ready? Said Lucy.
Now's our chance, full speed ahead! Shake 'em off said Zoro.
Scene change
Looks like the Marines have stopped following us said Zoro.
That's good news we shook em off said Zoro.
Stop it, what with pathic groans? Said Zoro.
All: I miss her.
That's enough whining said Zoro.
If you wanted her to join that bad then you shouldn't have let her leave said Zoro.
Ah! You savage said Chopper.
Blockhead said Nami.
Idiot said Sanji.
Three sword style said Lucy.
Saying three sword style isn't an insult Lucy said Ussop.
Four sword style said Lucy.
It's not the number that's the problem, an affected insult must involve some personal detail about the recipient that rude said Ussop.
Look like we finally escaped the firing squad said a voice.
Yeah said Zoro.
Excellent work said Nico Robin.
Here to avenge your friends? Just try it said Zoro.
What the hell are you doing here? Said Nami.
Warning! Warning said Ussop.
Who's she? Asks Chopper.
I don't know but she's so damn beautiful said Sanji.
Didn't I tell you before? Don't point such dangerous objects at me. Are you always so slow? Said Nico Robin.
How long have you been on our ship? Asks Nami.
Quite a while said Nico Robin.
These are your clothes, right? I'm borrowing them said Nico Robin.
Wait a minute lady who the hell do you think you are? Asks Nami.
Monkey D. Lucy and has it been so long that you've forgotten you did to me, has it? Said Robin,
Lucy, what did you do you? Said Sanji.
All stowaways must leave this ship immediately said Ussop.
Wait a minute stop lying! You know I didn't do anything to you said Lucy.
Wrong and what you did to me was unbearable, go ahead, admit it said, Robin.
You're not making any sense, what do you want me to do? Said Lucy.
I want to join you said Robin.
What? Said All.
I wanted nothing more than to die at that moment, but you forced me to live, that's your crime said, Robin.
There's no place for me to go or to return to said Robin.
So I decided that i'll join you said Robin.
I see your problem guess there's no other choice, welcome said Lucy.
Lucy said the others.
There's nothing to worry about, trust me, she isn't a bad person said, Lucy.
Scene change
Pay attention said Ussop.
I want some straight-up and honest answers, i'll ask you one more time What's your name? Said Ussop.
My name's Ussop, hello said Ussop.
Nico Robin said, Robin.
Okay, Nico Robin so what's your occupation? Said Ussop.
Archaeologist said Robin.
Are you serious? Said Ussop.
Archaeology runs in my blood, I come from a long line of them said Robin.
Hmm I see so your family has a scientific background said Ussop.
What in the hell? Said Zoro.
Go on said Ussop.
It was when I was 8 years old I decided to pursue archaeology as my career, shortly thereafter I found myself wanted by the World Government since then I've spent the past 20 years hiding from the world said Robin.
You've been alone since you were 8? Said Ussop.
Then one day I heard the calling of the sea, but there's no way for a child to survive alone on the water. The option I found that assured my protection and the ability to achieve my goal was I chose to work for various rouges said Robin.
Not an ideal solution but it brought me this far and here we are said Robin.
And guess you incorporated Crocodile into your gallery of rouges said Ussop.
Of course, I used him to get to the Rio Poneglygh. I'm good at maneuvering through obstacles to achieve a goal, I'd be a great asset to you and your friends said Robin.
You're full confidence, what's you're specialty? Said Ussop.
Killing said Robin.
Lucy, my investigation has concluded that she is far too dangerous said Ussop.
You guys listening to me? Said Ussop.
Seriously I'm disappointed you two are pathetic said Nami.
Until recently she was the Vice-President of a crime syndicate and do you really think such a woman should join us? Said Nami.
You may have fooled these idiots but I'm convinced said Nami.
You pull anything and i'll personally kick you out said Nami.
Alright I'll keep that in mind said Robin.
Oh I just remembered I brought along some of Crocodile's jewelry with me said Robin.
Oh wow, I love you sister you're the best said Nami.
Oh, boy here we go said Ussop and Zoro.
Nami's been had said Ussop.
This chick's bad news said Zoro.
She's following her lead like some kind of pet said Ussop.
Sanji comes and starts reacting poetry,
Look at him falling all over himself said Zoro.
Yeah well, he was a lost cause from the start said Ussop.
Looks like you and I are the only holdouts on this ship of insanity said Zoro.
We shouldn't blame the others, the're simple minds can't resist her charms said Ussop.
Hey Ussop, Chopper said Lucy.
Sanji is our snack ready? Asks Lucy.
Be patient said Sanji.
But i'm hungry said Lucy.
