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 Luffy.
Don't this town have a stable let's get some horses said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
Whoa, it's awesome! I can't believe my eye said Luffy.
I bet it's delicious said Luffy.
All aboard said Chopper.
We get to ride it! Said Luffy.
Please to meet ya said Luffy.
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 Kisho.
Okay, time to move out said Chopper.
Hang on everyone here we go said Chopper.
Then Crocodile hooks grabs Vivi around the waist and pulls her back.
Chopper, stop the Crab said Kisho.
It's him said Luffy.
Luffy stretches his arms and switches places with Vivi, tossing her back towards the others.
Hey, Luffy said Zoro.
That damn idiot said Sanji.
Luffy no said Vivi.
You guys go on ahead! Don't worry about me said Luffy.
Make sure you deliver Vivi home, safe and sound you have to promise me said Luffy.
Good luck, you guys said Luffy.
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.
We'll be in Alubarna! Yells Vivi.
Yeah! Yells Luffy.
Time skip
I see you share the same flaw as these fools said Crocodile.
You'll die for others said Crocodile.
Heat Haze said Ace.
Water Twist said Kisho.
Crocodile turns into sand and dodges the attack.
Fire Fist Ace second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates said Crocodile.
You shouldn't count Luffy out yet, it'll take more than a little sand and your hook to kill him said Ace.
Time skip.
Vivi said Koza.
No Koza said Vivi.
It's you... I seek, you came through the shortcut you used to said Cobra.
This can't be. What am I seeing? said Koza.
I came in hope of persuading the royal army, but the King is... he's about to be killed by this country's hero? Vivi was right said Koza.
Now things are starting to get interesting said Crocodile.
Here we are in the midst of an epic war, and yet the leaders of both sides aren't on the battlefield. Fate has placed them squabbling at my feet. a battle to the death between two broken titans bleeding out the last remnants of their power said Crocodile.
Koza listen said Vivi.
Vivi who was responsible for drought ravaging the country, tell me said Koza.
It was said, Vivi.
That honor belongs to me said Crocodile.
Crocodile reveals he is behind everything that has happened to the country in the past 2 years.
Koza listen said Cobra.
Majesty said, Koza.
There's still some time if you have the courage. You must act now, save as many citizens as you can said Cobra.
In less than half an hour the whole palace square will be blown to Kingdom come said Chaka.
What do you mean? asks Koza.
Crocodile hid a bomb somewhere in the square said Ace.
My crew is on the way to the palace since they were able to beat the rest of Baroque Works agents said Kisho.
Koza listen time isn't something we have a lot of we need you to head to the square and get everyone out of a 5-kilometer radius said Kisho.
We'll handle the sandman said Ace.
Why should I listen to pirates? said Koza.
He runs toward the gate and Vivi tackles him.
Because they're on our side! They're not like Crocodile said Vivi.
Get off of me said, Koza.
I have to warn them said Koza.
And what are you going to tell them? Even if you stop the bomb, it won't stop the fighting said Vivi.
It won't save anyone said Vivi.
Understand? said Vivi.
Our only hope is to do what should've been done from the start! We have to stop the rebellion and end this bloodshed! said Vivi.
And you... you're the only one who can do it said Vivi.
Vivi said, Koza.
Crocodile appears.
Did you really think I was going to sit back and watch passively while you try to ruin my plans? said Crocodile.
Firefly said Ace.
Small yellow-green balls surround Crocodile.
Fiery Doll said, Ace.
The balls explode and Crocodile is sent flying against a wall.
If you want to get to Vivi and Koza you're going to have to go through us said Ace.
Did you really think we were gonna sit back and watch passively while you try to kill Vivi and Koza? asks Kisho.
You two get going we'll hold Sandman off as long as we can said Kisho.
The two leave.
Some might call it brave I call it stupid said Crocodile.
Then Crocodile summons a sandstorm to cover the square and confuse both sides.
Dammit a had a feeling he'd pull something like this said Kisho.
Yeah, he is confusing them and turning this into a bloodbath said Ace.
He's stalling for time until the bomb can go off said Kisho.
Cobra tells Vivi to run away.
I won't said, Vivi.
You made this dust devil, it's your doing, isn't it? said Vivi.
But still, there's time said Vivi.
If I stop the explosion that's scheduled in 15 minutes, I can still reduce the number of causalities said Vivi.
Crocodile turns into sand goes past the two sets of men turns back to normal, grabs Vivi, and lifts her up.
If I do this, the rebellion will stop. If I try that, the rebellion will stop said Crocodile.
It's time to wake up Princess said Crocodile.
This isn't good said Ace.
I know we can't do use any damaging attacks with without hurting Vivi said Kisho.
They listen to Crocodile put down Vivi's dream.
Man, this guy is really starting to get on my nerves said Kisho.
I know if Luffy were here he wouldn't put up with what Crocodile is staying about dreams said Ace.
They watch as Crocodile walks to the top of the wall and holds Vivi out off the edge.
Stop it! Please Crocodile, just let her go said Cobra.
Wrong choice of words said Ace and Kisho.
In the end, your plans for saving this country have done more harm than good. You wretched failures have only ended up hurting the precious citizens who you love so dearly said Crocodile.
From the beginning of my operations here, the sheer stupidity of your country has amused me said Crocodile.
So pathetic! So easy to maniple said Crocodile.
Dammit Luffy where are you? thought Kisho.
Then Crocodile lets go of Vivi.
No said Kisho.
Then Luffy and Pell appear.
It can't be said Crocodile.
Luffy said Kisho.
It's about time said Ace.
Crocodile yells Luffy.
It can't be said Crocodile.
How did he make it out of the quicksand with all his injuries? said Crocodile.
That's Luffy for you said, Ace.
Luffy stretches his arms to launch himself up onto the palace.
Then Ussop and Chopper arrive.
See? See? He'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 guys said Luffy.
I know I lost to him once already said Luffy.
But this time said Luffy.
This time I'm gonna win the rest is up to you said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
For good said Luffy.
Luffy said Vivi.
Crocodile said Luffy.
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 Luffy punches him and this time it hits him.
Who's that? Asks Cobra.
Looks like Luffy figured out Crocodile's weakness well one of them anyway thought Kisho.
How can he hit me? Said Crocodile.
Luffy headbutts Crocodile.
He hit Crocodile said Cobra.
Get up said Luffy.
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 Luffy.
You took away all the rain because you're afraid of water, didn't you? Said Luffy.
I know how to defeat you Crocodile said Luffy.
Our real fight is starting now said Luffy.
