I don't own One Piece only my OC Kisho
The two end up in a town.
They hear the mayor talking to some men who claim to be Rebel soldiers but are clearly scam artists.
Then another bursts into the restaurant and tells Camu Sand Pirates are attacking and they decide to leave but are stopped by the gecko.
What the? said Camu.
I think I'm about to lose my lunch said Ace.
Seriously you cowards have got a lot of nerve calling yourselves rebel soldiers said Kisho.
Not that it's any of our business but if you ask me what the four of you are doing is damn despicable said Ace.
Yeah, you're right! It none of your business and what the hell are you doing here anyway? asks the second rebel.
You food thieves said the third rebel.
The two pirates make easy work of the so-called rebels.
More said, Ace.
Yes. I'm so sorry gentlemen said Camu.
This place has good food said Ace.
And tea said Kisho.
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment said Camu.
You must forgive me; I beg you said Camu.
Clearly, you two have extraordinary power. As you can see, we stand no chance against Sand Pirates. Unless we have help from you guys, you must rescue us please said Camu.
Er, we're not against the idea said Ace.
On one condition said Kisho.
Yes, anything you want said Camu.
Scene change
Too bad those idiots didn't realize we're pirates too said Kisho.
Yeah, said Ace.
Hey! Hey said Ace.
Luffy said, Ace.
It's Ace said Luffy.
Kisho too said Ussop.
So that's where they were said Nami.
So, you're the sand pirates those flakes were scared off said Ace.
Huh? What are you talking about? asks Luffy.
We left the sand pirates a little while ago said Luffy.
Yeah? Well, whatever it's no biggie said Ace,
We've got great news said Kisho.
you want food and water. Because we brought guys plenty of both said, Ace.
Oh, that's much appreciated said Sanji.
This should be more than enough to last us a good while or at least until reach Yuba said Kisho.
And Luffy I've taken inventory of everything so don't even think about sneaking anything said Kisho.
By the way, Sanji here's the list so you know what's here in case anything goes missing said Kisho.
Thanks said Sanji.
Whoa Kisho and Ace are incredible said Ussop.
Sure, are, kind and thoughtful to a fault unlike someone we know said Nami.
That's true said Ussop.
Thank you I was so thirsty said Chopper.
Then drink up said Kisho.
Me too said Luffy.
Um excuse me guys said Vivi.
I'm assume you guys used something other than money to get this said, Vivi.
Whatever you did please don't tell you stole the supplies said Vivi.
That's not our style, actually, the Rebel Army gave it to us said Ace.
The Rebel Army! said Vivi.
Perhaps fake rebel soldiers would more accurate description said Kisho.
Fake? What do you mean by that? asks Nami.
He means they pass themselves off as rebel soldiers in order to get hired by the village and the villagers were so grateful for their protection, they've accepted these hoodlums with open arms said Ace.
I guess if they're desperate for help, but wouldn't they eventually figure out they've been duped? said Nami.
Not necessarily the villagers know the mere mention of the Rebel Army is enough to send most bandits running for the hills it's quite clever really said Kisho.
A confidant swagger with a little misdirection and the money and prestige coming rolling in said Ace.
Well, rebel soldiers aren't hooligans nor is their title meant to serve as some sort of decoration said Vivi.
Vivi, I'm sure we'd all be happy to teach these guys a lesson said Sanji.
Yeah, well if your plan for restitution involves duping the villagers may I point out that's exactly how they were treated by the hoodlums said, Ace.
At least they things stand now the villagers live in peace with their fake protectors, is this necessary said Ace.
I understand what you're saying, but you gotta consider this from Vivi's perspective, surely, you'd like to see those jerks pay said Sanji.
Look Vivi can do what she wants, I was only sharing my thoughts on the subject said, Ace.
There's no reason you should stick up for those bastards said Sanji.
I'm not sticking up for them, I just know you guys are in a hurry to get going that's all said, Ace.
Sanji, I know you mean well but I have to agree with Ace on this one said Kisho.
Who are we to decide what's right for this village? If they're content with the way things are then we have no right to interfere if these hoodlums give them a sense of security said Kisho.
Fine. My Kingdom's no longer to protect people anymore so I find nothing wrong with villages attempting to uphold public safety on their own whenever possible said Vivi.
Done? said Nami.
No, I need to put these bandits to the test said Vivi.
A test? said Nami.
Yes, and if these imposters are protecting them, even if that protection is nothing more than a byproduct of their ruse, then I really don't care what they pass themselves off as said Vivi.
You want us to find out if these hoodlums have hearts of gold said Ace.
Yes, I'm sorry but this something that requires everyone's cooperation if are to pull it off said Vivi.
That's no problem, Vivi said Sanji.
Alright! Now things are getting interesting said Luffy.
What do you mean by interesting? asks Chopper.
Hold on, Luffy, you need to calm down this isn't a game, understand said Nami.
Yeah, yeah, I get it, basically, we're gonna track down these fake rebel guys and beat 'em up, right? said Luffy.
He doesn't understand a thing someone needs to put him on a short leash said Sanji.
They test the bandits, and they pass so the Straw Hats flee.
Hey, Luffy said Kisho.
Oh, hi Ace! Hi Kisho! said Luffy.
How long should we keep running? asks Ace.
Surely, we can drop the act now said Kisho.
The speed in which they turned over a new leaf was scary said Zoro.
Amazing said Ace.
Time skip.
This is all the breakfast we could get? Said Ussop.
Seconds said Luffy.
Aww, come on said Ussop.
Don't be greedy, you've had enough for one meal said Sanji.
What the? Luffy said Zoro.
Keep your hands off people's food, got it? Said Zoro.
Why do they behave this way every time we eat? Asks Vivi.
Just don't make eye contact said Nami.
Damn it you give it back said Zoro.
Never said Luffy.
Done, well it's time we get going said Nami.
Guys said Nami.
Knock it off you two now said Kisho.
Thank you, Kisho, said Nami.
Now hurry and clean up, we're leaving for Yuba said Nami.
Look at this mess said Nami.
Hmm said Luffy.
Whoa, awesome! Floating meat said Luffy.
Listen it's talking too said Luffy.
What's with you? You're not making any sense said Nami.
Whoa now it's running away said Luffy.
Wait meat said Luffy.
Luffy said Nami.
Get back here said Kisho.
Time skip.
We lost him right Dip? asks a boy.
So, Chip how does it taste? asks Dip.
That's our first meal in 10 days, eat slowly said Dip.
I can't believe we got meat said, Chip.
Here you have some said Chip.
Man, we never even got a scrap of meat in the Badlands said Dip.
Oh, the Badlands said Ace.
So that's where you're from huh? said Kisho.
Smells good, you enjoying it? asks Ace.
Stay back I mean it said Dip.
You can't have the food back we ate it said, Chip.
The older boy points a gun at two.
You move a muscle and you're dead said Dip.
As a general rule, I'm not fond of people pointing guns in my face said Ace.
But if I were you, I'd put it down said Ace,
Why? asks Dip.
You're playing a dangerous game kid said Ace.
Never draw on someone unless you can hit your mark said Kisho.
I've never seen anyone that strong, are they gonna hurt us? said, Chip.
Then the rest of the Straw Hats arrive.
What's up? Who are they? asks Ussop.
Please, sirs I have a favor to ask you said Dip.
There's someone I need you to find and catch for me, please! it's important said Dip.
I can give you a reward! If you catch him for me, I'll pay a million berries said Dip.
A million berries? said Nami.
Yes, I can't pay you right away, but I will as soon as I grow up, I promise said Dip.
Help me find this man said, Dip.
My brother and I have been on his trail, and I know he's close, we followed him from the Badlands said Dip.
We need more details, what's his name? asks Ussop.
Scorpion, he's a bounty hunter said Dip.
Hold on, you sure? asks Zoro.
What possible reason would you kids have for chasing a bounty hunter? asks Nami.
I have business with him as well said Ace.
A man who defeated Blackbeard somewhere in Yuba, he goes by the name Scorpion, our whole purpose for traveling to Yuba is to meet this man said Ace.
That guy defeated Blackbeard said the Straw Hats.
No way, I don't believe it said Ussop.
I don't know Ace! he doesn't look the type said Kisho.
Do really think this is the guy who beat up Blackbeard? asks Kisho.
Not sure. The only way to find out is to meet him face to face said Ace.
Ace? Wait you don't mean the real said Chip.
The real Fire Fist Ace said, Dip.
What is it? asks Ussop.
There's two said Ace,
And a bird said Kisho.
Chopper? said Nami.
They're here said Chopper.
I've come for you Fire Fist Ace said Scorpion.
I'm the Scorpion a true indomitable hero! I've traveled a great distance to challenge you and I expect an above-board fight, fair and square said Scorpion.
That's him, that's scorpion said Vivi.
Oh, goodie you're all here said Luffy.
Uh, Luffy said the straw hats.
Why are you riding with the Scorpion? He's the enemy said Sanji.
What's wrong, Scorpion? Asks Luffy.
It's uh said Scorpion.
He laughs.
So sorry, but this is the day that your luck runs out said Scorpion.
All those heroic songs and tales your supporters flatter you with ends today said Scorpion.
This is so exciting said Luffy.
Ace! This is a serious fight so don't pull any punches said Luffy.
Wasn't planning to said Ace.
You want help with this guy? asks Kisho
Nah I got this said Ace.
But before we fight there's something I wanna know said Ace.
Ready! Here I come said Scorpion.
You're finished said Scorpion.
He fires a net at Ace, but he just sends it back at Scorpion.
Ow, Hot! Hot! Hot said Scorpion.
Whoa Ace just blew the net right back at him said Ussop.
I guess I should be thankful, if defeating you were easy it wouldn't be much of a victory said Scorpion.
Yeah, well you have some skills yourself said, Ace.
I'm glad you approve because this fight isn't over said Scorpion.
Popo! The compressed extishgur gun said Scorpion.
Special compressed air gun filled with extinguishing foam said Scorpion.
Um, what? Said Zoro.
Does it work? Asks Sanji.
Don't be fooled by the foam, this bad boy packs enough power to blow a hole clean through you said Scorpion.
Ace dodges the foam and then Ace punches Scorpion in the gut.
It was a nice try but you never had a chance my friend said Kisho.
I suspected as much, you lied about beating Blackbeard, didn't you? Said Ace.
You figured using his name would draw me out into the open said Ace.
Am I right? Said Ace.
That right, a clever disecet said Scorpion.
I'd say that the first round was a draw now it's time to get serious said Scorpion.
Stop! You can't beat him father said a boy.
Did he say, father? Asks Luffy.
Son, I'll be fine said Scorpion.
Stop the fight said the boy.
Chip, Dip said Scorpion.
What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home? Asks Scorpion.
When did you leave the Badlands? Asks Scorpion.
Please we understand now what you've been trying to teach us, this battle is too much for you said, Chip.
You got to come home said Chip.
Don't be silly. Remember boys I'm the world's greatest bounty hunter after all said Scorpion.
If I said it once, I've said it a million times, I've fought the toughest, meanest men around and bested everyone said Scorpion.
Dad, you don't have to lie said Dip.
Haha, you found me out said Scorpion.
Scorpion then gives a little speech to his sons and stands up.
Wait Father said, Chip.
Watch and learn, witness your father's unconquerable spirit said Scorpion.
So long as I hold on to my dreams, I won't back down said Scorpion.
Do you hear me, Ace? Said Scorpion.
Popo, the Bazooka said Scorpion.
Prepare yourself this is the end said Scorpion.
I won't let you do it, we need you said, Chip.
Get down take cover said Scorpion.
The boys beg their father to stop fighting and come home.
I love you too boys said Scorpion.
Gum-gum said Luffy.
I got it said, Ace.
Fire Fist said Ace.
Spiked ice dome said Kisho.
A spiked dome of ice appears over the kids and Scorpion.
You kids alright? Asks Ace.
Scorpion, are you still alive? Asks Luffy.
Kisho removes the dome which disappears.
Don't be stupid, of course, I'm still alive said Scorpion.
You think I'd died and leave my sons behind? Said Scorpion.
The Scorpion's not going out that easy said Scorpion.
Time skip
Well then since Blackbeard isn't here in Alabasta mind if i stick with you guys for while? asks Ace.
But what about Blackbeard? asks Vivi.
He can wait, Kisho told me what you guys are planning to do and if I know Crocodile's type, you'll need all the help you can get said Ace.
Although Scorpion did mention Blackbeard is out west so after Crocodile's beaten, i'll head off after him said Ace.
Glad to have on board said Nami.
Yes, thank you said, Vivi.
Time skip
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 Luffy.
Yuba or bust said Luffy.
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 saidLuffy.
Morons said Zoro.
Time skip
Look up ahead I see a light said, Vivi.
Does that mean when made it to Yuba? Asks Luffy.
I can't see with all this sand blowing everywhere said Luffy.
Something here doesn't feel right said Ace
There's something wrong down there, I can tell said Kisho.
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 Luffy.
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 sand said Vivi.
Man: I'm assuming that you 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 Luffy.
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: Sandstorms 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 Luffy.
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 Kisho 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 Luffy.
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
Oh, great job today everybody said Ussop.
Really, we did some good work said Ussop.
Now let's all lie down in these comfy beds and get some well-deserved rest ok? We'll need our strength said Ussop.
Goodnight you guys said Ussop.
Please this whole trip you've been nothing but lazy said Zoro.
Why you said Ussop.
Quit comparing me to you and all the other superhuman freaks said Ussop.
Now you're annoying me said Zoro.
I think Blue Nose here wins today's award for laziest talking animal in the desert said Ussop.
You try walking around in a fur coat said Chopper.
Sanji, I think that's my bed said Vivi.
I know I thought you might have trouble sleeping all alone tonight said Sanji.
And the award for biggest perv goes to Sanji said Ussop.
Alright slingshot boy, I'm going to shove that pillow so far down your throat you'll choke on it said Sanji.
You guys don't seem to understand the concept of said Nami.
I hope you're ready said Sanji.
An interesting bunch, aren't they? asks Ace.
Yeah, sure are, said Kisho.
You know I think I know behind the Sandstorms said Kisho.
Crocodile? said, Ace.
Yup, and my guess is he has Logia Devil Fruit powers said Kisho.
Like ours said Ace.
Yeah, so if he can create sand the chances are he turn into sand and controls it too said Ace.
He must have eaten a Fruit called said Ace.
The Sand-Sand Fruit said Kisho.
To tell you the truth, I knew crocodile was here as well said Kisho.
Let me guess you're with the R.A. said Ace.
Yes, I was with them before I joined up with Luffy's crew to tell you the truth I'm on a permanent assignment, keeping watch over for Luffy for someone said Kisho.
You mean for his father, for Dragon said Ace.
You know about Luffy's father? asks Kisho.
Yeah. I was told by someone a long time ago said Ace.
Just to tell you the truth, I know about your lineage too said Kisho.
Yeah, I figured you might being in that group said Ace.
And I'm guessing you know about mine with my hair and eyes said Kisho.
Yeah, it's kind of obvious said Ace.
So how long have you been with them? asks Ace.
About three years now said Kisho.
If your organization is aware that Crocodile is here with no good intentions, why haven't you guys stepped in? asks Ace.
Stopping a corrupt warlord isn't really at the top of our to-do list said Kisho.
Right you guys are too busy dismantling the government said Ace.
Scene change
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, Luffy, here take this with you said Toto.
Wow, water said Luffy.
You found some then? Asks Luffy.
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 Luffy.
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 Luffy.
Scene change
Hey Luffy. what are you doing over there? Asks Ussop.
Luffy? Said Nami.
Um is everything, all right? Asks Vivi.
I quit said Luffy.
What do you mean? Asks Nami.
What's that mean? Quit what, Luffy? Asks Vivi.
Oh, come on we don't have time to put up with every weird little mood you have right now, Luffy. 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 ugly 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 Luffy.
Yes? Said Vivi.
Right now, all I wanna do is kick Crocodile's ass, you understand? Said Luffy.
Maybe we can keep the people from starting a rebellion but that won't stop Crocodile said Luffy.
Besides we won't be able to accomplish anything in Katorea said Luffy.
We're pirates, everyone knows things are better off without us around said Luffy.
You got to admit, he has a way of getting straight to the point when he really wants to said, Ace.
Yup said Kisho.
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 Luffy.
None of the citizens, none of us either said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
Come on Luffy can't you at least, try showing Vivi a little sympathy? Said Nami.
Wait, hold on Nami said Sanji.
It's best we stay out of it said Kisho.
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 Luffy.
Then Vivi starts hitting Luffy.
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 Luffy.
No Luffy you've gone too far said Ussop.
Damnit Luffy said Sanji.
This is between them now butt out said Kisho.
Just being in this country one day and taking a look around, even I can tell said Luffy.
Tell what? Asks Vivi.
What this country needs more than anything said Luffy.
Think putting your life on the line is enough to stop this from happening? Asks Luffy.
Well, what else exactly should I be putting on the line, Luffy! What, Luffy? Said Vivi.
I don't have anything else I can put on the line, just me said Vivi.
Well, you can at least try putting all of our lives on the line together said Luffy.
Aren't we friends, huh? Asks Luffy.
Well, aren't we friends? Asks Luffy.
There now you see it, now you understand said Luffy.
Hey, you can cry said Luffy.
I know how much you hate this, and you want to get Crocodile the most said Luffy.
So now tell me, where can I find Crocodile? Said Luffy.
You all, Luffy...Luffy 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 Luffy.
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 Rebels can get to Alubarna said Ace.
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 managed to make it all day without collapsing said Zoro.
Yeah, I'm trying hard not to said Chopper.
Leto, 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 Luffy.
Come on give me some said Ussop.
Gum-Gum leave me alone said Luffy.
Come on Luffy 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 Luffy.
He had to dig all night just to get this much of it said Luffy.
We can't just go drinking it like it's regular water or something, so no way said Luffy.
Wow, you can restrain yourself sometimes said Nami.
Well yeah of course I can Nami said Luffy.
That was a rude thing to say, you know said Luffy.
So how long till Rainbase, Vivi? Asks Luffy.
Hey, Luffy said Vivi.
Hmm? Said Luffy.
Thanks a lot, I never would have been able to make this decision on my own said Vivi.
Okay, then give me food said Luffy.
Huh? Said Vivi.
After I beat up Crocodile, give me food said Luffy.
I'll eat till I explode said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
Yeah, it's time to kick Crocodile's ass! Yells Luffy.
That's Rainbase, huh? Said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
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 Luffy.
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 Kisho.
Laying low, but we're coming Crocodile said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
Wait for me Luffy said Ussop.
Hey, you may want to take some money along said Nami.
Scene change
I'm gonna go use the little boy's room said Chopper.
Do you really think we can count on them to stay out of trouble? Asks Sanji.
Even they can handle little errands okay, right? Said Nami.
I don't know I bet those managed to screw something up said Zoro.
It is Ussop and Luffy, I'd start getting ready to run if I were you said Zoro.
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 Luffy.
You think we haven't noticed that Luffy? Said Kisho.
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 Zoro.
Then it's decided, let's go said Luffy,
Huh? Said Vivi.
Wherever Crocodile is, how about it? Ready? Said Luffy.
Do you see that building up ahead with the alligator on its roof? said Leto.
That's the casino Crocodile Runs said Vivi.
It's called Rain Dinners said Vivi.
I see it, so that's where Crocodile? Asks Luffy.
It would be better if we split up now said Sanji.
Yeah, it's looking that way said Zoro.
Right, see you later said Luffy
