i don't own One Piece
Hey, Lucy said Ussop.
Huh? Said Lucy.
What was that thing you're brother gave you? Asks Ussop.
I don't really know, it looks like a scrap of paper said, Lucy.
It's just paper? Said Chopper.
Let me see it said Sanji.
Well, it looks like it really is just a piece of paper said Sanji.
There's nothing written on it or anything said Sanji.
It's that all? Really? Asks Ussop.
I'm not really sure why Ace gave it to me said Lucy.
Aah! Don't eat that said Lucy.
Dumb camel said, Lucy.
Hey Lucy give me your hat said Nami.
Huh? Why? Asks Lucy.
If it's really that important to you I can sew to the underside of your hat ribbon said Nami.
Good idea, sew it on real good said, Lucy.
Yeah, yeah said Nami.
There, all done said Nami.
Here you go said Nami.
Now, I don't have to worry about losing it, thanks said Lucy.
If there isn't anything written on it what's the point of hanging on to it, then? Asks Zoro.
Ace said it's important and I should hang onto it so I'm hanging on to it, that's all said, Lucy.
So you're pretty much basing your decision on nothing said Sanji.
No, my instincts, they're right a lot said, Lucy.
Will someone please carry me? Asks Ussop.
You guys we're close now said, Vivi.
Yuba's just past those rocks there said Vivi.
One last push and I'm sure we'll make it said Vivi.
Yeah said Lucy.
Yuba or bust said Lucy.
Not another minute to spare said Nami.
Yeah said Chopper.
Come on Zoro, I'm light said Ussop.
Suck it up said Zoro.
Hey carry me too Zoro said, Lucy.
Morons said Zoro.
Time skip
Look up ahead I see a light said, Vivi.
Does that mean when made it to Yuba? Asks Lucy.
I can't see with all this sand blowing everywhere said Lucy.
Something here doesn't feel right said Vivi.
There's something wrong down there, I can tell said Vivi.
Oh no said Vivi.
The entire city's being struck by a Sandstorm said Vivi.
Time skip
It can't be said, Vivi.
It doesn't look good, this place doesn't much different from that Erumalu town from before said Zoro.
Water said, Lucy.
Vivi I thought this city was supposed to be some sort of oasis said Sanji.
It looks like the oasis disappeared, it seen swallowed up by all the stand said, Vivi.
Man: I'm assuming that you're travelers you must be exhausted from all the time spent in that heat, huh?
Man: Sorry but this town is a bit dried up too.
Man: It doesn't have much relief the offer.
Man: But still you're free to rest here for a while.
Man: We may not have much water but there are plenty of inns here in the town, it's what we prided ourselves on so much after all.
Thank you but we came here because we thought the Rebel Army was in this town said Vivi.
Man: What business do you have with the Rebel Army?
Man: curse all of you.
Man: If you're here to join the Rebel Army you can just go back where you came from.
Man: if you're looking for those fools, look elsewhere.
Man: they're no longer in this town.
Wait they're gone?! Said Lucy.
They left? Said Vivi.
Man: I'm sure you noticed the town was just hit by a sandstorm, that one certainty wasn't the first.
Man: after 3 years with no rain, the land has become increasingly dry.
Man: Sandsotrms became a regular occurrence here.
Man: Little by little the oasis that we knew was swallowed up, until the town became what you see now, a dying wasteland.
Man: When the full of supplies to the town ended, the Rebel Army couldn't maintain their drawn-out struggles, so they packed up, they've moved on, the Rebel base is now located in Katorea.
Katorea? Said Vivi.
Um, where's that? Is Katorea close to here Vivi? Asks Lucy.
It's near Nanohana back the way we came from said Vivi.
Katorea? That's where I ended up when I got separated from Sanji and met Eyelash said Chopper.
That's right when you helped me get away said Chopper.
Wait a second Eyelash is saying he was carrying Rebel Army goods to Katorea said Chopper.
Well great coming all this way was just a waste of time said Zoro.
It's revealed that the old man digging is Koza's father Toto.
Toto, that's this guy? Said Lucy.
Whatever it's worth, Vivi dear, I have faith in you and the King said, Toto.
He's a good man, a true king who would never betray his country, I know it said, Toto.
This rebellion is ridiculous said Toto.
A bunch of faithless fools said Toto.
True our country hasn't seen so much as a drop of rain in 3 years but I still put my trust in the King as I always have said, Toto.
Most of the country still has faith in him actually said Toto.
So many times I tried to stop them, so many times said Toto.
But they won't listen to anything I say the rebellion isn't stopping said Toto.
Their strength, supplies, and men have reached their limit however their intention is to settle everything once and for all with the next attack said Toto.
Their backs are against the wall, they're stuck in a corner, prepared for death said Toto.
Vivi, you have to stop these fools from tearing our country apart said Toto.
Toto, old friend, please don't be worried said Vivi.
Vivi, dear said Toto.
We'll succeed, we're going to the stop this said Vivi.
Thank you, Vivi said Toto.
Scene change
Hey old guy there's still no water said Lucy.
My throat drying up, how can you stand to live here? Said Lucy.
It's horrible said Lucy.
The water will come, the Yuba oasis still had life in it yet said Toto.
The dream of Yuba can't be beaten by a bunch of lousy Sandstorms said Toto.
The king left Yuba in my hands I will keep it said, Toto.
I'll dig out the sand as many times as it takes said, Toto.
Ok then let's dig said Lucy.
Hey would you quit, you're filling up the hole I spent all this time on said Toto.
Hmm? Said Lucy.
I'll never get done with you filling up my hole said Toto.
But I'm just like you old guy said, Lucy.
No, I'm digging holes and you're filling them up said Toto.
The sand from the hole your digging is going to the hole I'm digging said, Toto.
In other words, you're not helping said Toto.
Ah, a mystery hole huh? Said Lucy.
I said knock it off yells Toto.
Oh, I give up said, Toto.
Time skip
Well maybe she's figured it out now the sand stopped coming said Toto.
She was able to dig that in such a short time? Said Toto.
Even as tired as she must be from the journey? Said Toto.
Scene change
Sleep well tonight you've earned it said Toto.
Pleasant dreams said Toto.
The next morning
I'm so sorry I didn't have more to offer you Princess Vivi said Toto.
No please don't worry about it said Toto.
Well, we should be off now Toto said Vivi.
Oh, Lucy, here take this with you said Toto.
Wow, water said Lucy.
You found some then? Asks Lucy.
Yes it was last night a bit after you fell asleep while digging that huge hole of yours said Toto.
I finally reached a moist layer under the dry stuff, that water there is the moisture I was able to extract from the damp sand said Toto.
Sounds pretty complicated but thank you said, Lucy.
That right there is genuine Yuba water, it's not much, but that's all I was able to get said, Toto.
Right, then i'll drink it with care said Lucy.
Scene change
Hey Lucy what are you doing over there? Asks Ussop.
Lucy? Said Nami.
Um is everything, all right? Asks Vivi.
I quit said Lucy.
What do you mean? Asks Nami.
What's that mean? Quit what, Lucy? Asks Vivi.
Oh come on we don't have time to put up with every weird little mood you have right now, Lucy said Ussop.
Let's go said Ussop.
Yeah, shouldn't we get going? Asks Chopper.
Yes we should and fast said Sanji.
If we don't get back to that Katorea place the way we came from and stop the rebellion that's about to begin then a million Alabasta citizens are gonna start fighting and things will get real ulgy real quick said Sanji.
We're doing this for Vivi, so let's go said Sanji.
What is wrong with you? Said Sanji.
Vivi said, Lucy.
Yes? Said Vivi.
Right now all I wanna do is kick Corcodile's ass, you understand? Said Lucy.
Maybe we can keep the people from starting a rebellion but that won't stop Crocodile said Lucy.
Besides we won't be able to accomplish anything in Katorea said Lucy.
We're pirates, everyone knows things are better off without us around said Lucy.
You got to admit, she has a way of getting straight to the point when she really wants to said Sanji.
Well, yeah, But not often said Ussop.
No, that's not true said Vivi.
You want to work so nobody dies in this fight, isn't that right Vivi? Said Lucy.
None of the citizens, none of us either said Lucy.
We're up against one of the seven warlords of the sea and a million of your own people on top of that and you still want everyone to end up all safe and sound, you'll never win that way said, Lucy.
Come on Lucy can't you at least, try showing Vivi a little sympathy? Said Nami.
Wait, hold on Nami said Sanji.
For what? Asks Nami.
And what's wrong with that, huh? What is so wrong about not wanting to see people die or get hurt? Asks Vivi.
Because people die that's why said Lucy.
Then Vivi starts hitting Lucy.
Stop talking like that I won't listen to it said Vivi.
Say that again and I will really hurt you said Vivi.
That's the whole point of what we're doing here, don't you understand? Said Vivi.
No one here in Alabasta, not the Rebel Army, not the Royal Army, or the people are to blame for this said Vivi.
None of them have done anything wrong why should any of them have for what's happened when every last bit of it is Crocodile's fault? Said Vivi.
So you're saying it's only alright for you to die? Said Lucy.
No Lucy you've gone too far said Ussop.
Damnit Lucy said Sanji.
Just being in this country one day and taking a look around, even I can tell said Lucy.
Tell what? Asks Vivi.
What this country needs more than anything said Lucy.
Think putting your life on the line is enough to stop this from happening? Asks Lucy.
Well, what else exactly should I be putting on the line, Lucy? What, Lucy? Said Vivi.
I don't have anything else I can put on the line, just me said Vivi.
Well you can at least trying putting all of our lives on the line together said Lucy
Aren't we friends, huh? Asks Lucy.
Well, aren't we friends? Asks Lucy.
There now you see it, now you understand said, Lucy.
Hey, you can cry said Lucy.
I know how much you hate this and you want to get Crocodile the most said, Lucy.
So now tell me, where can I find Crocodile? Said Lucy.
You all, Lucy-Lucy was right said, Vivi.
I've made up my mind now said Vivi.
Change of plans, we're going to go find Crocodile said Vivi.
Yeah said Lucy.
That does seem like the quickest way of stopping the fighting from happening said Nami.
And we can quit wandering around the desert too, it was beginning to get old said Zoro.
So where is he anyway, this damn Crocodile guy? Asks Sanji.
Let's see said Vivi.
This is the capital city of Alubarna, where my father rules, and the Rebel Army is camped here, getting ready to invade Alubarna said Vivi.
So we just need to get to Crocodile before the Rebel can get to Alubarna said Sanji.
This is where Crocodile is, over here, Rainbase said Vivi.
Rainbase? Said Ussop.
It's a city a bit to the north of us, about a day's journey from here said Vivi.
Scene change
Ok did I or did I not tell the two of you to quit with the pathetic maoning? Said Nami.
Hey Chopper you manage to make it all day without collapsing said Zoro.
Yeah, I'm trying hard not to said Chopper.
Vivi, does this Rainbase city have a water supply? Asks Chopper.
Oh yeah no shortages there said Vivi.
It's a gambling town almost completely isolated from all the fighting said Vivi.
Ah, gambling! Said Nami.
No way, Nami we're not going there to gamble said Zoro.
I guess people need someplace to relax even here in Alabasta said Sanji.
Gum-Gum no way said Lucy.
Come on give me some said Ussop.
Gum-Gum leave me alone said Lucy.
Come on Lucy just give me one sip of it said Ussop.
Please isn't that why he gave it to us said Ussop.
The old guy from the sandstorm place gave it to me said Lucy.
He had to dig all night just to get this much of it said Lucy.
We can't just go drinking it like it's regular water or something, so no way said Lucy.
Wow, you can restrain yourself sometimes said Nami.
Well yeah of curse I can Nami said, Lucy.
That was a rude thing to say, you know said Lucy.
So how long till Rainbase, Vivi? Asks Lucy.
Hey, Lucy said Vivi.
Hmm? Said Lucy.
Thanks a lot, I never would have been able to make this decision on my own said Vivi.
Okay, then give me food said Lucy.
Huh? Said Vivi.
After I beat up Crocodile, give me food said Lucy.
I'll eat till I explode said Lucy.
I promise I will said, Vivi.
Time skip
There said Vivi.
So, is that the city? Asks Chopper.
That's it? Said Nami.
Oh, are we here? Said Lucy.
Yeah, it's time to kick Crocodile's ass! Yells Lucy.
That's Rainbase, huh? Said Lucy.
So after all that's happened, are we going to operate under the assumption that Baroque Works knows that we're here on the island with them? Asks Zoro.
It's seemly likely, we did run into Mr. 2 said Nami.
So I think it's safe to assume that they at least have some idea that we were heading to Alabasta said Nami.
Who cares said Lucy.
They know exactly what we look like so we won't be able to do much of anything while we're in Rainbase, just lay low said Ussop.
And why is that? Asks Lucy.
Because if we get spotted before we find Crocodile I'm sure he can probably come up with all sorts of nasty ways of taking care of us said Ussop.
Assassination is kind of the area of their expertise said Zoro.
Laying low, but we're coming Crocodile said Lucy.
You weren't even listening, were you? Asks Ussop.
Well no matter what happens I will take it upon myself to protect Nami and Vivi from any harm said Sanji.
I'm always happy to play Prince Charming for a lady said Sanji.
Smooth one said Zoro.
Smoother than you are Zoro said Sanji.
I need water said Chopper and Ussop.
There is none let it go said Zoro.
I'm going yells Lucy.
Wait for me Lucy said Ussop.
Scene change
Captain Smoker, why do think that they'll be here? Asks Tashigi.
What reason would the Straw hats have for coming to Rainbase? Asks Tashigi.
Let's just call it a hunch said, Smoker.
Yeah finally we can get water said Lucy.
I can't put my finger on but something stinks, I feel like there's something big lurking in the shadows said, Smoker.
Old lady give us some water k said Lucy.
Yeah yeah a whole barrel, no we want more than that five barrels said Ussop.
So then you really do believe that theirs some sort of a connection between the Baroque Works crime organization and the Straw Hats crew? Asks Tashigi.
Here said the old woman.
The only thing I know for sure is that Straw Hat is up against Crocodile one of the seven warlords of the sea said Smoker.
Smoker then notices Lucy and Ussop.
Scene change
Run away said Lucy.
Yeah said Ussop.
Protect the water said Lucy.
Scene change
What are damn Marines doing here? Asks Lucy.
How should I know that? Asks Ussop.
Let's just keep running for now said Ussop.
You win, looks like the Marines are chasing them said Sanji.
No way said Nami.
So why are those idiots running this way? Said Nami.
Hey, Tony hasn't made it back yet said Vivi.
He'll be fine, Chopper can manage on his own said Zoro.
Hey guys, I think the Marines are here said Lucy.
You think we haven't noticed that Lucy? Said Zoro.
This is bad said Ussop.
Baroque will see us if we keep running through the city said Ussop.
I think it's a little too late for that, Ussop said to Zoro.
Then it's decided, let's go said Lucy,
Huh? Said Vivi.
Wherever Crocodile is, how about it? Ready? Said Lucy.
Do you see that building up ahead with the alligator on its roof? Asks Vivi.
That's the casino Crocodile Runs said Vivi.
It's called Rain DInners said Vivi.
I see it, so that's where Crocodile? Asks Lucy.
It would be better if we split up now said Sanji.
Yeah, it's looking that way said Zoro.
Right, see you later said Lucy,
Smokey hey said Lucy.
You've got some real nerve their straw hat said Smoker.
But don't think you can run forever said Smoker.
Gum-Gum Balloon said, Lucy.
Too close said Lucy.
She takes off.
Damn said Smoker.
The straws meet up again at Rain dinners.
Lucy? Said Ussop.
Get back here said, Smoker.
It's thar Smoker guy said Zoro,
Hey you guys, let's go said Lucy.
We have to run inside now said Lucy.
Right behind you said Ussop.
So he's in there? Said Lucy.
So I guess that's where I'm going said Lucy.
Listen up, Crocodile I'm coming for you and I'm about to kick your sandy ass said Lucy.
Get ready said Lucy.
I know you're in there, I'm coming Crocodile said Lucy.
Damn these guys are annoying said Zoro.
Ha! I think that Ouughta shut them up said Zoro.
Hey Crocodile, show yourself said Lucy.
Listen, I crossed an ocean and a desert to kick your ass said Lucy.
Crocodile said Lucy.
That's not going to make him come out here, you loudmouth dope said Nami.
Don't forget we're dealing with this country's hero said Ussop.
You want to turn all these customers against us? Said Ussop.
Okay, fine, so what do we do? Said Lucy.
Whoa, hold on! Without Vivi we don't even know what Crocodile looks like said Ussop.
Now that you mention it, where is Vivi? Asks Nami.
Three yells for Vivi and Crocodile to come out.
Het you know what? I'm thinking they might not come out just because we yell said Lucy.
I got you this time, Straw Hat said Smoker.
Smoker said Nami.
You think you can stroll in anywhere you like and I won't find you? Said Smoker.
Not old smokey said Lucy.
Run said Ussop.
Oh great what's that refugee from an ashtray doing in a casino in Rainbase? Asks Ussop.
If you ask me I'd say he's developed a special affection for Lucy here said Zoro.
This building is surrounded by a lake there's nowhere to run said, Smoker.
The casino security tries to stop him but he just pushes right past them.
Man he's stubborn said Lucy.
Hold it said, Smoker.
Ugh! I'm in no mood to try to deal with this right now said Lucy.
Man: Excuse me miss I'm going to have to ask you and your friends.
Hold on a second did I just hit something? Asks Lucy.
Give it up said Smoker.
Hey, look ahead, its said Ussop.
Did he say the V.I.P. lounge? Asks Ussop.
Hold on do you think it could be a trap maybe? Said Nami.
Hey, don't these lounge deals usually have free drinks for their guest? Said Zoro.
It's not like we have a choice run for it said Lucy.
What is a vip anyway? Asks Lucy.
Hey, the hall splits said Lucy.
It says V.I.P.'s go left said Ussop.
And pirates go right said Nami.
Which way do we go? Asks Lucy.
The sign quick said Zoro.
V.I.P., choose V.I.P. That's gotta be the way to go said Ussop.
That's crazy talk, we're pirates, and pirates are supposed to go this way come on said Lucy.
Well yeah you go a point there said Ussop.
Hey wait said Zoro.
Straw Hat said, Smoker.
Then the floor drops out from under them.
This is certainly unexpected said Smoker.
I can't believe we fell for this old trick said Zoro.
I hate trap doors said Lucy.
Scene change
Pretty clever trap wasn't it? Asks Lucy.
Oh yeah, no way to see that one coming said Ussop.
What are you talking about? I told you it was a trap in the first place! Yells Nami.
I can't believe what i couple of idiots you are! Yells Nami.
Something's wrong here, I feel weak all of a sudden said Lucy.
Really? What's the matter are you hungry or something? Asks Ussop.
Lucy said Zoro.
Lucy said to Nami.
I'll take you on if you want you smoke-filled freak said Ussop.
I didn't do so bad against the bald you know, so i'll just wait over here in the corner you just let me know when you're ready, ok? Said Ussop.
What's wrong? I feel so helpless, like when I fall into the sea said Lucy.
Alright, just what have you done to Lucy? Asks Nami.
The tip of this staff is made from a substance called Sea Prism Stone, a rare mineral, it supposedly exists in one certain sea in the distant corner of the world. Not much is known about but it is believed to give off mystical energy on the same wavelength as the ocean itself. Basically, think of it as the solid form of sea said Smoker.
So it affects Lucy the same as if she fell into the ocean? Asks Zoro.
Prison cells at marine headquarters are made of the same substance to prevent criminals who possess Devil Fruit powers from successfully escaping said Smoker.
Well then I'm betting this cell is built the same way said Nami.
If it wasn't you can be sure I'd be long gone by now and you four would be on your way to prison waiting for your date with hangman said Smoker.
Are you crazy? There's no point in fighting a situation like this said Ussop.
And besides what good is a sword is a guy made out of smoke? Said Nami.
Man: She's right, give it up.
You are all going to die together so why not make an effort to get along first? Said the man.
It's Crocodile said, Smoker.
Alright said Lucy.
So he's one of the seven warlords, is he? Said Zoro.
You're every bit the low-life scum I imagined said, Smoker.
You're every bit the wild dog I heard you were, Smoker.
Unlike your superiors, you never really believed I was on your side, have you? Said Crocodile.
And of course, you were right said Crocodile.
You know Smoker, I have a feeling you'll die breathily in the line of duty said Crocodile.
I'll be more than happy to inform the government that you put up a valiant fight against the vicious Straw Hat pirates said Crocodile.
I haven't the vaguest idea of what really brought you to this country but I'm your on your own said Crocodile.
We both know the government would never order you to come to this land, they have every condifandance in me, a warlord of the sea said Crocodile.
You big old bag of wind, you're Crocodile said Lucy.
Come on and fight me like a man you big dumb said Lucy.
Pay attention stupid you gotta remember not to touch the bars! Said Ussop.
Straw Hat Lucy, I congratulate you on getting this far and i promise to dispose of you neatly and patiently once our special guest of honor has her appearance said Crocodile.
Uh, guest? Said Nami.
Why even as we speak my partner is on the way to fetch her said Crocodile.
Time skip
Lucy imitates Sanji.
And Nami hits both her and Ussop.
Get serious! Said Nami.
How can you two screw around when we're in this desperate situation? Said Nami.
Well, we can't get out so what else is there for us to do? Said Lucy.
The fact that we can't get out is the reason it's so desperate said Nami.
If we don't do something soon we're wind up dead said Nami.
And why are you sleeping? Said Nami.
Oh is it morning? Asks Zoro.
It's afternoon you moron said Nami.
You're certainly a high-spirited young lady
Whatever, you better go ahead and enjoy yourself while you still got the time, mister said Nami.
Because when these fellows get outta here they're gonna kick your smug butt up and down the Grand Line like a flabby beach ball, right Lucy? Said Nami.
Yeah you better believe we will buddy said Lucy.
Your crew members seem to place a lot of trust in your talent, Straw Hat Lucy said Crocodile.
How foolish, I think trust is completely unnecerssy said Crocodile.
Who does he think he is sneering at us like that? Said Nami.
Knock it off Nami you're just gonna end up making him angry said Ussop.
Crocodile said, Vivi.
Vivi said All.
My humble greetings, Vivi royal princess of Alabasta said Crocodile.
I mean Miss Wednesday I compliment you on having invaded our assassins in order to get this far said Crocodile.
You have no idea what I'd do or how far I would go to see you dead, Mr. 0 said Vivi.
I wish you died in the cradle you monster said, Vivi.
Vivi, wait! First, get us out of this thing said Lucy.
This country would still be peaceful if it wasn't for you said, Vivi.
Not going to work said Smoker.
Feel better? Asks Crocodile.
As a native of this country, you must surely know I have the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, want to become a mummy? Said Crocodile.
He's made out of sand said Ussop.
Leave her alone! I'm warning you right now or i'll kick your ass said Lucy.
Have a seat princess said Crocodile.
I trust you are comfortable there, I must say, your timing is perfect, the party is about to begin, isn't that right Miss all Sunday? Said Crocodile.
Yes said Miss All Sunday.
Party? Said Nami.
It's exactly noon right now, time for Operation Utopia said Miss All Sunday.
Huh? Utopia? Said Nami.
What's an Operation Utopia? Asks Lucy.
It will mean the demise of the Alabasta Kingdom, Miss Wednesday said Crocodile.
I'm going to wipe it off the face of the map as if it never was, all the people, great and small will be sucked into eternal darkness as they wither in agony, let Operation Utopia begin said Crocodile.
Crocodile explains Operation Utopia.
That's horrifying said Nami.
Well, do like it? The Operation you once participated in is now reaching it's climax, if you listen closely I'd wager you'd hear the howls of the Kingdom and they all scream the same, Protect Alabasta said Crocodile.
Stop it! Screams Vivi.
How are you so cruel? Asks Vivi.
It's heartbreaking, isn't it? Their love from the Kingdom will be what destroys it said Crocodile.
Is she stupid? Didn't she hear what I said before? Asks Smoker.
She's definitely stupid, but that's also the reason she's our captain said Zoro.
Crocodile, I'm so gonna kick your ass said Lucy.
You know what? I've had to make so many moves to be able to get to this point, the sabotage to inflame the citizens, Manulationg the Rebel Army do you have any idea why I go to such lengths to destroy this Country? Said Crocodile.
As if I'd understand anything from inside your fowl mind said, Vivi.
You've got a pretty sharp tongue princess, don't you? Said Crocodile.
Vivi said Ussop.
Now, now what are trying to do, Miss Wednesday? Asks Crocodile.
Stop you, I'm going to stop you said, Vivi.
There's still time if I can just get to Alubarna, east from here said Vivi.
If I can just get there before the Rebel Army I may be able to stop them said Vivi.
I'll never give up while there's a chance somehow I'm going to stop you, watch, you won't get away with this said Vivi.
You can quit fooling around now said Crocodile.
What a coincidence we were just about to head to Alubarna ourselves, Miss Wednesday said Crocodile.
If you like to come with us princess, then please do or you can try and save them said Crocodile.
The key said Vivi.
The key to this cell! Hey give it said Lucy.
Vivi gets free and tries to get the key but it falls through a trap door.
It won't be too long until the Rebel and the Royal forces begin their battle to the death said Crocodile.
Even if you hurried to Alubarna from here who knows if you'd make it in time to stop the rebellion, you'd need to leave at once Miss Wednesday will you do that or try to save your friends instead? Said Crocodile.
It's your choice, but if you chose the latter, it doesn't help that I accidentally dropped the key into the Banana gator's den said Crocodile.
Huh? Banana gators den? Said Vivi.
What are those things? Asks Lucy.
Ah! Look out the window, there's an alligator growing out of that banana said Lucy.
In case you haven't noticed that's not the only one said Nami.
Looks like we're in an aquarium, I hope we're not fish food said Ussop.
What weird bananas said, Lucy.
You idiot! Look closer they've got bananas growing out of them, they're weird gators not weird bananas said Ussop.
What now? Vivi, what happened? Asks Lucy.
A big banana gator just swallowed the key to your cell said Vivi.
Well then go down there and make him spit it out said Lucy.
I wouldn't stand a chance they're alpha predators at the top of the food chain, they're ferocious they even prey on Sea Kings said Vivi.
Sorry you might have had the key, if I hadn't dropped it said Crocodile.
Crap said, Lucy.
Tanks a lot you jerk said Nami.
Damnnit if we could just get out of here, I can handle those overgrown reptiles said Zoro.
Oh man, you're really dumb Zoro we can't get out because the key got swallowed said Lucy.
I know that you stupid idiot said Zoro.
Oh well, I'm sorry but we must be going said Crocodile.
Time is of the essence oh and speaking of time this room will be destroyed in exactly one hour, it served me well but it's no longer of any use said Crocodile.
Soon the water of Rainbase's lake will fill this room and unless they're a fish or one of my gators anyone left in there won't survive said Corocdile.
Well, it's either a million innocent citizens or a mere five pirates with no future it's time to choose said Crocodile.
But to be honest, the odds are quite low for both said Crocodile.
I hope you like gambling Miss Wednesday because like they do at the tables upstairs, you're gonna have to roll the dice, just like I did with this country which was simple with all the fools here said Crocodile.
People like those juvenile Rebels and that old man digging in Yuba said Crocodile.
You don't mean that dried-up old guy, do you? Asks Lucy.
Of course, even though everyone else has abandoned it that old fool keeps pecking away every day at an oasis that's long dead said Crocodile.
Even as he's plagued by constant sandstorms, he still digs away said Crocodile.
Shut up said Lucy.
You don't know much about sandstorms do you, Straw Hat Lucy? Said Crocodile.
Even wonder how one can hit a town perfectly every time? Said Crocodile.
No wait you don't mean said Vivi.
It was you, you did it said, Lucy.
I will kill you said Vivi.
The room is starting to flood oh no said Ussop.
We're all gonna drown if we don't do something really quick said Ussop.
Vivi help get us out here! I wanna live a lot longer than just one hour said Ussop.
Hey stop freaking out said Zoro.
Are you crazy, Zoro? How can I not freak out at a time like this? Said Ussop.
We're all gonna drown like rats if we don't get out of here. Don't you get it? Said Ussop.
Vivi! Get us out, you can do I know you can said Lucy.
How, Lucy said Vivi.
Ah, so you've started begging for your life, eh? Straw Hat Lucy? Asks Crocodile.
There's no shame in that it's only natural to be afraid of dying said Crocodile.
I'm not begging it's just if I die who else is going to be able to kick your ass? Said Lucy.
Don't flatter yourself small fry said Crocodile
You're a small fry who thinks he's a big shot said Lucy.
You're right Miss Wednesday I would have killed you if you left for the capital and of course, I plan on doing the same here said Crocodile.
That thing is gigantic said Vivi.
Vivi, you show that gator said, Lucy.
Are you crazy? It's too big said Ussop.
Vivi don't listen to this kook! Get out of there ans uh get us out too said Ussop.
You only have to beat one of them said Lucy.
No look out the window said Nami.
Ah they're all waiting in line to eat us said Ussop.
At least we won't drown like rats said Zoro.
Getting eaten by a ginormous gator is the way I wanna go either said Ussop.
That thing is fast said Ussop.
Strong, too, it chopped through those stone stairs as if they were cardboard said Ussop.
Vivi no said, Lucy.
Can you hear us? Please say something! Tell us are you alright? Said Ussop.
Vivi, get up said, Lucy.
Run said Nami.
Vivi gets out of there it's gonna eat you said Ussop.
Then they hear someone very familiar over Crocodile's transponder snail.
Did you hear that? Asks Ussop.
The voice was unmistakable said Nami.
San said, Lucy.
Shut up they don't know about him so let's keep it that way said Ussop.
He was in the cabin when Mr. 2 showed up so they never met, he's our ace in the hole so zip it said Ussop.
Yes, mind telling me who you are said Crocodile.
Me? Well just call me Mr. Prince said Sanji.
Very well you mind telling me something else like where you are? Said Crocodile.
I'm afraid I can't say said Sanji.
If I did you'd just come running and get rid of me, even though I highly doubt you could get rid of me, I'm not about to do so said Sanji.
I never give up information easily, unlike you just did Mr. 0 said Sanji.
Mr. Prince come on! If you don't hurry up we're all going to end up as gator bait, we're running out of time said Ussop.
Hurry up Mr. Prince come rescue us said Lucy.
Then they hear Sanji is in trouble.
Sanji oh no said Vivi.
If he's not dead, he's going with he was because I'm going to kill him the next time I see him said Zoro.
No, Sanji said Lucy.
The poor guy said Nami.
Vivi, what are you doing? Said Lucy.
She tells them she's going to get Sanji.
Got you, there's no way he'd kick the bucket no that guy said Ussop.
Vivi look out said Lucy.
Vivi said, Lucy.
I've had enough of your nonsense said Crocodile.
No, get up said Lucy.
Since you care about your friends that much Miss Wednesday you can just die here with them said Corcoidle.
Which thanks to the rising water and my hungry pets outside should occur very soon said Crocodile.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to drag Mr. Prince back here to join you, I hope you don't mind corpses said Crocodile.
Crocodile said Lucy.
Vivi manages to escape.
She got away said Nami.
But then the windows break letting the water.
Things have just gone from bad to worse said Nami.
At the rate it's flowing we don't even have an hour left, we'll be lucky if we have 20 minutes said Ussop,
Vivi, are you okay? Yells Lucy.
I'm fine! I going to get help so just hold on said Vivi.
I will get you out of there I'm not going to abandon you I promise said Vivi.
I'll be right back with help ok? Said Vivi.
Ok, you can do it Vivi said Lucy and Ussop.
Time skip
All of us are gonna die! That water gonna be up to our necks any minute now said Lucy.
Hey, you stupid gator! If you're hungry come and get me said Nami.
Are you nuts Nami? What are you doing? Said Ussop.
I'm trying to lure that gator in close enough so he'll bite this cage apart sid Nami.
Hey that's not a bad idea said Ussop.
Yeah come and get us you stupid banana! You rotten banana! Yells Lucy.
Look I told ya! That thing's not a banana it's an alligator with a banana growing out of its head said Ussop.
But it's called a banana gator said Lucy.
Let me explain to you said Ussop.
You've heard of the monkey dance right? Said Ussop
It's a banana! Yells Lucy.
Shut up and listen for a second said Ussop.
Okay, look theirs a dance called the monkey dance you follow? Even though it's got the word monkey in it, it isn't an actual monkey said Ussop.
Don't touch those bars said Ussop.
How do you know they're not bananas if you haven't eaten one? Asks Lucy.
Watch out said Nami.
The gator bites the cage but it only breaks the gator's teeth.
Vivi, please hurry said Ussop.
Hey, Straw Hats said Smoker.
We're all about to die! How can you just sit there like that? Said Ussop.
You should be trying to get us out of here too! Said Lucy.
Tell me something how much do you guys know? What exactly is Crocodile after? Asks Smoker.
That woman at Crocodiles side, did you the World Government has had a sizeable price on her head for 20 years? Said Smoker.
As I recall over 70 million Beri's said Smoker.
70 million! Holy moly why is it so much? Said Ussop.
That's almost as much as Crocoile had said Nami.
The moment those two joined forces this insurrection became more than just a simple coo said Smoker.
If they're not stopped here and now this could very well turn into something the whole world will get dragged into said Smoker.
The whole world? Wait what do you mean? Said Nami.
This is starting to sound a little fr fetched said Ussop.
I don't care if all that is true said Lucy.
I don't need any other excuses, I'm still gonna kick that guy's ass said Lucy.
I see so how do you intend to get out of here said Smoker.
Ah! It's all the way up my legs now said Lucy.
Uh, all of a sudden I feel a little said, Lucy.
No hey, wait said Ussop.
Just tough it out Vivi said she'd bring some help back said Ussop.
Dammnit if only my swordsmanship was better I could cut threw this stupid cage, we'd be free said Zoro.
It's really impolite to make a lot of noise at mealtime like you were doing said Sanji.
I'll teach you how to behave said Sanji.
Bad manners kick course said Sanji.
Hey guys, been waiting long? Asks Sanji.
Yay it's Mr. Prince we're finally gonna get outta here now said Lucy and Ussop.
Thank you said Nami.
Well don't just stand there find the key ans get us outta here said Zoro.
Vivi alright way to go said, Lucy.
More diners with bad manners huh? Said Sanji.
Get em Sanji mash those weird bananas into pudding said Lucy.
The third one that just came in has the key said, Smoker.
Hey, how do you know that smokey? Asks Lucy.
Guess your ears aren't as big as your mouth said, Smoker.
Isn't that one growl the same as the one who swallowed the key? Said Smoker.
Uh I can't really tell said Lucy.
Key said Ussop and Lucy.
There it is, get it said, Lucy.
Hey wait a minute said Ussop.
That doesn't look like the key said Lucy.
Wax Wax ball said Mr. 3.
What the? Said all.
Yes, water at last! It's a miracle said Mr.3.
Hey, it's him said Zoro.
Mr. 3 said, Lucy.
Mr. 3? What was he doing on the belly of a banana gator? Said Vivi.
I'm alive again I thought I was a goner said Mr. 3.
Stupid Crocodile you thought you could get rid of me? But you didn't try hard enough said Mr. 3.
The moment I was swallowed I used the last of my power to create that Wax Wax Ball that was how I survived said Mr. 3.
A key? Said Mr. 3.
Ah! Not you guys again said Mr. 3.
Now I see what's happening here said Mr. 3.
Mr. 3 I presume said Sanji.
How did you know who I was? Asks Mr. 3.
Well your hairstyle gave it away said Sanji.
I'll take the key, toss it here said Sanji.
Sure thing, here it goes said Mr. 3.
Hey said Sanji.
I don't know who you are but if want the Straw Hats out you're no friend of mine said Mr. 3.
You want the key go find it said Mr. 3.
Go luck, you'll need it with all those alligators around trust me I know said Mr. 3.
Jerk said Sanji.
That bastard said Zoro.
That was a dirty move even for that creep said Lucy.
We're running out of time hurry! Yells Nami.
Lousy good-for-nothing wax guy said Sanji.
Wait a minute Sanji said Ussop.
He might be good for something, like using those wax powers to make a key said Ussop.
You're right said Sanji.
Mr 3 opens the cage.
Nice work candle man, now there are just 2 more things to do said Sanji.
Sanji puts a sign on Mr.3 and kicks toward the ruined staircase.
Let's go we have to hurry said Sanji.
Right, we have to stop the rebels before they attack Alubarna we should be able to get out through that hallway said Nami.
There's a problem with that mainly dozens of banana gators said Vivi.
Ha! That's it I can take on hundreds of those weird bananas yells Lucy.
Um that's problem solved said Nami.
And I had so much trouble with just one of them said Vivi.
No, don't be so hard on yourself those two just have crazy abnormal strength said Ussop.
Yeah? I'd be even stronger I wasn't soaked right now said Lucy.
Ah! This place is falling apart! Screams Lucy.
Yeah, we can see that said Sanji.
Oh no the passageway is crumbling too said Ussop.
We've got to get out of here right now said Sanji.
Scene change
Hey, you alive there, Lucy? Asks Sanji.
Ussop please wake up said Vivi.
Come on just kick your legs or something! Hey help pull you out of here said Nami.
Geez, why would a pirate want Devil Fruit powers if it means she can't swim? Asks Sanji.
What Smoker? Hey, Zoro what are you doing? In case forgot that guy's our enemy said Sanji.
Back off I didn't want to do it but he was about to die and that's all said Zoro.
Whatever we gotta get moving guys we've lost too much time already said Sanji.
Vivi, can we still make it? Asks Sanji.
I don't know said, Vivi.
Hey, Nami you still have the perfume I bought you? Asks Sanji.
Huh? Yeah but why? Asks Nami.
Put some of it on please said Sanji.
K said Nami.
Aw just one whiff of it makes me swoon like a schoolboy in love said Sanji.
Not to mention you act like an idiot said Zoro.
Roronoa why did you save my life? Asks Smoker.
All I did was follow my captain's orders that's it so I wouldn't read too much into it if a were you said Zoro.
It was one of her crazy whims, pay her no mind said Zoro.
And you wouldn't have any problems with me carrying out my duties and arresting right said Smoker.
See I know this was a bad idea said Sanji.
This is what you get for saving a Marine said Sanji.
Yeah alright, full speed ahead to Alubarna said Ussop.
Where's Crocodile? Let me at him said Lucy.
Finally awake huh? Said Nami.
Lucy sees Smoker.
You want some of this bring it on said Lucy.
Ah! It's Smoker! Said Ussop.
Lucy forget it let's just get outta here come on said Ussop.
I should but you just saved my life said, Smoker.
Go said, Smoker.
This is the only time I'm letting you Straw Hats off, got it said, Smoker.
When next meet it's gonna be as enemies said Smoker.
Well that's our cue let's go Vivi said Sanji.
Which way to Alubarna? Said Sanji.
That way! Due east across the desert said Vivi.
Lucy, come on what are you doing? Aren't we coming? Said Zoro.
Yeah said Lucy.
Hey, you're not such a bad guy Smokey said, Lucy.
Would you get the hell outta here Straw Hat yells Smoker.
Scene change
Hurry those Marines are hot on our heels said Ussop.
Alright, guy's said Lucy.
We got lots to do so we're not gonna stop till we get to Alubarna, are you with me? Said Lucy.
Yeah said all.
