Koza! Toto-ojisan!

Vivi!

Hey!

Sheesh, Pell!

--Say, Pell... --Yes?

Why do you practice fighting everyday?

Because I'm a guard. It's so I can protect this kingdom.

I need to be strong.

Who are you going to fight?

I don't know. But it's not so much fighting as it is protecting.

There's a difference?

The goal is different.

How weird.

Daddy... I'll be there soon...

Please don't be fooled! He's no hero of our kingdom!

He's trying to take over Alabasta!

Please! Don't make a hasty decision!

Huh? What?! What's going on?

Huh?! Huh?!

We caught a crossdresser!

What are you doing to Karoo?!

But we're outta bait.

Only because you ate it!

It's not my fault...

Oh, thank you so much.

Having my life saved by pirates I've never met before...

I'll never forget this for the rest of my life!

All you did was get caught on your own.

How'd you even get out here?

--It's a long story. --Never mind, then.

Oh?

Aren't you a cutie!

You're just my type!

Weirdo...

Still, I thought I was done for when I fell into the ocean.

Huh? You can't swim?

That's right. I sink like a hammer!

Does that mean you have powers?!

Oh! Correct!

I've partaken of one of the absolutely, incredibly rare Devil Fruits!

Huh? You don't seem very impressed...

They're not rare at all.

Oh, that's some big talk...

--Hey, you! What the hell're you tryin' --...you don't even know what my powers are.

--...to pick a fight with Nami-san for?! --We've seen more than our fair share, so nothing'll surprise us now.

Alright, then! I'll put on a little show for you as thanks!

Oh! That sounds... great...

Hey!

What the hell are you--

No way...

Hey, you! What's the big idea?!

Hold on, now! Sheesh!

I told you this is a show!

Gimme a break!

It- s I,� Q!

A dead-ringer? Shocked?

This is the power of the Clone-Clone Fruit I ate!

Awesome!

And one tap of my left hand, and...

Tadah! Back to normal!

--His voice... --And his physique...

Though�.

...I'll be honest and say...

...the punching part isn't necessary at all!

--Huh? --Hands off!

Well, no matter.

And now...

...with my right hand...

...I can impersonate anyone...

...just by touching their faces...

...as you can see!

Even their bodies!

Stop that!

--My eye! My eye! --Ouch!

--You're awesome! --Awesome!

But wait, there's more!

It even has a save feature!

I...

...never forget...

...any face...

...that I've touched...

...in the...

...past!

Well, what do you think of my parlor tricks?

They're so cool!

Gimme a break!

Whatever!

Gimme a break!

Hey, is that your ship?

Oh? It's already time to say goodbye?

Eh?!

Don't be saddened!

Journeys and farewells go hand-in-hand!

But never forget this...

What's known as friendship...

...has absolutely nothing to do with the time spent together!

Let's meet again sometime!

All right! Let's go, guys!

Yes, Bon Clay-sama!

Eh?!

Bon Clay?!

Vivi?!

He's one of Crocodile's henchmen!

You didn't know what he looked like?!

I had never met him until now!

My father's face was one of the saved ones he showed us!

Why does he have my father's face?!

Just an example, but if he were to take the king's place...

...he could do some pretty bad stuff.

Was the Dance Powder his doing too?

What's that?

Powder that can artificially produce rain.

The World Government forbids its production and possession.

Why would they forbid such useful powder?

Dance Powder artificially grows small clouds and causes them to rain,

which in effect "steals" rain that might've fallen in nearby kingdoms.

This resulted in a high frequency of quarrels between nations...

So the World Government outlawed it, huh?

Two years ago, huge quantities of Dance Powder...

...were carried into Nanohana, Alabasta's port town.

At the same time, an unusual weather phenomenon began:

rain fell nowhere in the kingdom but Alubarna, where the king lives.

So it'd be natural to suspect that the king...

...is using that powder to hog all the rain for himself.

Vivi! That means your dad is the bad guy here!

You idiot! He's been framed!

Vivi-chan's father would never do any such thing!

Never... never... never!

Sanji-san is right.

My father took no part in it whatsoever...

"Transport"

"Transport" But people swore that he'd been seen greeting ships at the port,

But people swore that he'd been seen greeting ships at the port,

and it was clear that loads and loads of Dance Powder...

...had been hauled into the palace...

I get it! That guy transformed into the king!

That's one hell of a guy we let get away...

It's all a trap laid out by Crocodile, the organization's boss!

And just as he planned, there was a rebellion!

Now I get it...

His plan is to make the royal army clash with the rebel army,

and then take over after both sides have weakened...

Under the guise of hero of the kingdom,

Crocodile has stolen everything, the royal family's reputation,

the rain, and even people's lives, as he's torn Alabasta apart!

--Awesome! --So awesome!

�Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!

--Sir Crocodile! --Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!

�The Guardian Angel of Alabasta! �Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!

--King of the Desert! �Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!

�Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!

Silence, foolish peasants!

You say that, but you're always saving us!

You're so wonderful!

Fine, call me whatever you like!

Sire...

Crocodile-sama is here to see you.

A gift for you, Mister Cobra.

I am always in your debt.

No problem. The royal army fights rebels, I fight pirates.

Well, I leave this scum's disposal to you.

That reminds me...

I hear the rebel army is up to something.

What do you intend to do?

A kingdom is its people.

I have no intention of striking out at them.

I see...

I'll see you again soon!

There are just too many unknowns this time.

Smart. With these, we can tell who our friends are for sure.

Contingency marks, huh? It's not like you to be so smart...

Or, are you really that crossdressing freak?!

Don't make me kill you!

�Oh... It's Zoro. --Whew, it is Zoro...

Alright!

If anything happens now, show your left arm to everyone!

Right!

It's the symbol of our friendship!

Let's go ashore! To Alabasta!

Yeah!

Daddy...

I will stop the rebel army!

My throat's so dry...

It's your own damn fault!

Those warusagi birds stole all our food and water!

We'll be at the rebels' base in Yuba soon, so try to bear it...

But are you really sure about this? They could get mad real easy...

Don't worry!

I will persuade them.

This is bad...

--it's been swallowed by the sand... --Water! Where's the water?

--Wasn't this supposed to be an oasis? --My throat is parched. Water!

The sand has raised the ground here...

--There's someone here! --Eh?! Seriously?!

Are you travelers?

You must be exhausted from your trek through the desert...

Sorry. This town is a bit dried up.

Umm...

I heard the rebel army was in this town, but...

Curse you!

Don't tell me you're hoping to join the rebellion?!

They're no longer in this town.

That can't be--!

What's going on, Vivi?!

--Did he just call you Vivi? --Umm, I'm...

Hey, old man! Vivi isn't a princess!

Don't tell him!

Is that really you, Vivi-chan?!

Eh?

You're alive! Thank goodness!

It's me! Don't you recognize me?

Toto-ojisan?!

That's right!

But... you're so emaciated...

Oh, it's no big deal...

But for what it's worth, I have faith in you and His Majesty.

He's not someone who would ever betray the kingdom.

Don't you agree?!

We're counting on you, Toto.

I will make Yuba a lush, green city!

We're gonna make an awesome city

and make this kingdom even wetter!

Later, Vivi!

Never forget your pride as vice-leader of the Sand-Sand Clan,

and become a great princess!

Right! I promise, Leader!

See ya!

This rebellion is ridiculous.

I tried to stop them many times.

And yet, they were fooled by a fake rumor of a royal army invasion,

and left for Nanohana.

The royal army invading Nanohana?!

Toto-ojisan! When was this?!

About five hours ago.

--We're too late... �This is horrific!

But where the hell did the royal army go?!

We didn't even run into them on the way here!

There's no time for confusion! We have to rescue everyone in town!

Hurry, in a calm fashion! No pushing!

To the western side of town! Run against the wind!

--Hold on! --You're gonna be alright!

You can do it!

The king... said to torch the town... no matter what...

Don't talk!

Hey, kid! Are you alright?!

Damn it! Even the children...

Damn you, Cobra! You've sunk to a new low!

At this rate, all we can do is wait for Alabasta's downfall!

Koza!

Contact all of our branches!

Koza! Does that mean--?!

Yeah...

We're going to put an end to this kingdom!

The Alabasta of old is long dead!

This is the final battle! We're going to capture Alubarna!

Step #1 of Operation Utopia appears to have worked well,

but I hadn't counted on the princess...

...and Straw Hat Luffy and his crew showing up.

But that's no major cause for concern.

We simply need to keep the princess and Koza,

her childhood friend and rebel leader, from coming into contact.

Now we move to Step #2.

I wish you luck in battle.

Very soon...

Come tomorrow, this kingdom of Alabasta will destroy itself...

...and literally be reborn as our utopia:

the ultimate military state that possesses Pluton,

the most powerful weapon the world has ever known!

Koza and his men are at their limit. Their backs are to the wall...

They're prepared to die!

Please, Vivi-chan. Stop those fools...

Don't worry, Toto-ojisan...

Vivi-chan...

I will stop the rebellion!

Vivi...

Well, we should be off now, Toto-ojisan.

Yes. Take this with you.

--Whoa! Water! --Water!

There's water in such super-dry land as this?!

Yep! Yuba can't be beaten by some lousy sand!

This is genuine Yuba water I collected for the first time in a week!

And you're giving me such precious water? Thanks!

I'll drink it with care!

See ya, old dry guy!

What's wrong, Luffy?

Luffy-san?

I quit.

Huh?!

What do you mean you "quit"?!

We don't have time to put up with your whims, you know!

We're stopping the rebellion, right?

Obviously!

�That's boring. --It's what?!

Vivi...

Eh?

I wanna kick Crocodile's ass.

If we stop the people rebelling, will that stop Crocodile?

I don't--

He really knows how to get straight to the point sometimes...

Despite being Luffy.

You want it so nobody dies in this fight.

None of the citizens, and none of us.

Don't you think that's too soft-hearted?

And what's wrong with thinking that?

What's wrong with not wanting people to die?!

People die.

Stop talking like that!

Say that again and I'll make you pay!

The rebel army, the royal army, and the people of this kingdom...

...haven't done anything wrong!

So why do people have to die?!

Then why are you putting your life on the line?!

--Whoa! You're going too far! --Damn it, Luffy!

Just one look at this kingdom and even we can tell...

--Tell what?! --...what really needs to be done!

As if putting your single life on the line is enough!

Then what should I be putting on the line?!

I don't have anything else!

I don't have anything else that I can put on the--

At least try putting all of our lives on the line together!

Aren't we friends?!

Oh, you can cry...

I know you actually hate this and want to kick his ass the most...

Tell me where Crocodile is.

The royal army burned down Nanohana?!

No such orders have been given!

It may be a ploy by the rebels!

Gather all our forces at once!

Chaka! Assemble the officers! I'm holding a war meeting!

Pell! You fly off to monitor the enemy's movement!

Listen! We are going to engage the rebel army in a fight to the death!

What are you doing?!

Yes, Sire!

Now everyone is nice and confused!

Operation complete!

Awesome! It's so fast!

Eyelash says he was born in these parts and has lots of friends!

Oh... Thanks, Eyelash...

Luffy-san...

Thanks. I never would've been able to make this decision on my own.

Really? Then gimme food!

Eh?

After I kick Crocodile's ass, gimme so much food I might die!

Right!

I'm comm' for you,

Crocodile!

W-what is this?!

--Stop, Chopper! --G- Got it!

Vivi!

You called my name, Straw Hat Luffy?

Get away from Vivi!

You did it!

So you're Crocodile, huh?!

Easy does it.

Vivi-sama! What are you doing here?!

Pell!

Damn you... What did you do?!

Seis Fleurs.

Clutch.

Pell!

Not even the greatest warrior in the kingdom is anything special.

Who are these guys?!

How pointless.

The party has already begun. Isn't that right, Miss All Sunday?

Yes.

You don't mean--!

To Alubarna!

The rebel army has launched an all-out attack...

...using the weapons from the armory ships I sent into Nanohana.

And the royal army intends to fight back completely.

We will protect Alabasta!

Isn't that just heartrending?

The love for the kingdom will be what destroys the kingdom.

There's still time.

If I can just get to the palace in Alubarna before the rebels,

I might be able to halt the conflict!

This guy's evil!

The word "fiend" describes him to a T!

Huh?! Where'd Luffy go?!

W- What's--

Zoro!

You guys go on ahead! I can handle this on my own!

Straw Hat!

Get going!

"Ch�PPeF' Ste - �Rigphtoln It! Hwy!

Are you stupid? Do you really think I'll let you go that--

You're dealing with me!

Brat!

They got away.

Luffy-san!

Vivi! He'll be fine!

No one who's faced Luffy has ever made it out unscathed!

Listen, Vivi.

He'll handle Crocodile.

Gum-Gum Pistol!

He'll bring Crocodile down.

The moment the rebels begin their charge, the kingdom's done for.

So if you're the only hope of stopping them, you have to stay alive!

Gafling!

No matter what happens to any of us here!

Bazooka!

Moss-head's right.

Don't think you're fighting all by yourself anymore.

V-V-Vivi! W-Won't dorry! I'm height rear with you too!

Luffy-san...

I'll be waiting for you in Alubarna!

This isn't good... I can't hit him at all...

He's too damn sandy!

We're pirates of different levels, Straw Hat Luffy.

It's time to end this little game.

Desert Spada!

The desert's split?!

Sharp eyes. Desert Girasole!

What the--?! What the--?!

Never heard of quicksand?

It's a desert coffin that doesn't require a gravestone.

You'll be dragged down into an underground water vein.

No one in this world is a match for me in a desert battle!

I refuse to be buried alive in some stupid sand!

Gum-Gum Bazooka!

Gum-Gum...

...Stamp!

It's no use.

Barhan!

My leg turned into a mummy!

Because it's sand. It sucked the moisture right out of you.

Y-you gotta be kidding me!

I know!

I'm back!

What rubbish.

Is not!

This is precious water the old dry guy dug up!

Even he said this can't be beaten by Yuba's sand!

Who do you take me for?

There are loads of rookies like you here on the Grand Line...

...who are nothing but talk, Straw Hat Luffy...

Don't tell me he's still alive...

That looks painful. But you'll be out of your misery soon.

What a waste of time.

Inform the agents that Princess Vivi is headed for Alubarna.

Understood.

Why do you people with "D" in your names fight?

Vivi! How much farther to the palace?

About 50 kilometers, I'd say.

--We're still that far away?! --We're not gonna make it in time!

Can't you speed up at all, Pincers-kun?!

Oh, yeah! Pincers loves dancer girls!

How's this?

He looked this way.

That sped it up! Erotic power!

Nami-swan! Nami-san!

Looks like we have two brain-dead tag-alongs now.

At this speed, we might have a chance!

Still, we can't let our guard down yet!

Yeah.

The king has disappeared?!

We searched every inch of the palace, but he's nowhere to be found!

What's more, the rebel army has been spotted 20 km to the south!

Defend all gates to the death! Do not let them set foot into the city!

Yes, sir!

If they're coming from Yuba,

then we won't miss them if we watch the western gate.

The rebel army's gonna get here first!

Are they even trying to stop us?! Honestly!

They... are... here...

What?! Out with it, already! You potbellied imbecile!

Oww! My bagk!

A Crab Mover, and...

...six people!

No matter what their numbers are, Vivi is our only target.

Only, you say? In that case...

You guess which one is Vivi!

Yikes! They're all wearing the same cloaks!

That makes it all confusing!

Leave those two to us! Let's go, Mister 4!

Yeah...

The)' Split up again!

They're going inside in groups, huh?

Let's go!

Then I'll... Un, deux--

You can't run from me!

Thank you, everyone!

Is this far enough for you?

You two have good instincts. I am Princess Vivi!

What the hell-- I mean, whatever do you mean? I'm the real Vivi!

You've done well to follow us this far!

Now to reveal our true identities!

We're all the wrong ones!

--Where did... --...Princess Vivi go?!

Time to die!

L.\ � \ h \' I

The rebel army is right there...

Leader... Please hear me out!

All squadrons! Break through the southern gate!

Then bring down all gates from the inside!

Prepare yourselves!

Stop! Rebel army!

This war is a sham!

What the--?! Now we can't see!

Who would do something so foolish?!

The royal army?!

I haven't given the order to fire yet!

I- I'm sorry, sir! My hand slipped!

Don't act without orders!

--Keep going! --It's just a dust cloud!

No! Everyone! Stop--!

This is for our kingdom! The king must pay!

Must've been my imagination...

Leader?!

Chaka-sama! Give the order!

Open fire!

Fire!

Don't let them get inside!

Don't falter! Capture Alubarna!

Reinforce the southern gate! Tighten the defenses!

Karoo!

You protected me?!

I'm so sorry...

We tried so hard, but now the revolt has begun!

But I'll stop it!

No matter how many times I'm kicked to the ground!

I learned on the ship that it's wrong to give up!

USOPP!

Three Swords Style...

...Bull Needles!

Stinger...

�Step!

I'm not gonna get anywhere at this rate!

All right, that's it!

Now I'm serious! Really serious!

Go ahead, then.

Will you really be all right?

Okay! But don't push yourself too hard!

I can't look for Koza in all this fighting!

The battle is still only in this area!

Let's go to the palace and see Chaka!

Karoo?!

Karoo!

I know...

You guys!

Please look after Karoo!

You dweeb! Your captain, you ask?!

He's never gonna be Pirate King now that our boss has killed him!

Honestly! I'm glad he's dead! The moron got what he deserved!

Time for you to die too, Long-nose!

Listen, Chopper! There comes a time...

Mole Hill Highway!

Get ready! Four Ton Bat!

Here goes! Mole Hill...

...Cleanup Hitter!

Usopp!

Damn you bastards!

...in every man's life...

...when he can't run from a fight, no matter who it's against!

You're still alive?!

That time... is when your friends' dreams are laughed at!

Luffy isn't dead...

I know he'll be Pirate King someday...

That's the one thing I'll never make fun of!

Again! Batter up!

Oh, no you don't!

Chopper! Get behind me!

Right!

Take this! Special Attack...

Here goes! Mole Hill...

...Smoke Star!

They're all yours, Chopper!

That brat jumped out of his shoes!

What the--?!

Mole Hill Cleanup Hitter!

H-hold on! It's me!

No! STOP"

Special Attack! Usoccho...

...Hammer Shooting Star!

Even you suspect Daddy, Leader?!

Leave! You're going to cause trouble!

Wait! I swear I'll prove it!

So please don't fight!

Vivi!

You alright, Koza?!

I'm going to go into the palace and demand (Zebra's surrender!

That's crazy!

The palace is surrounded by the royal army's main forces!

There's no reason for you to jump the gun all alone!

Only that it's already too late!

Lend a hand!

Hey! Koza!

You! Everyone was advised to evacuate the city!

Leave the city at once!

Are you even listening, woman?!

V-Vivi-sama?

Vivi-sama?!

Take me to Chaka! There's something I want him to do!

Ram 'em and push 'em back!

Engage the enemy!

Don't falter! Push forward!

You're the very definition of "all talk"!

You damn crossdressing freak!

Don't be gettin' carried...

...away!

Dammit! He's cute!

Boy, it sure is hot in this kingdom...

It makes me want to take off some clothes!

Can I help?!

Crossdresser Chop!

My eye!

Now... let's finish things up here!

Crossdresser Kenpo!

Memoir of that Summer Day!

Don't tell me you--

Joue... Shoot!

I've figured out your Clone-Clone Fruit!

Figured what out?!

The moment you attack me, you always revert to the crossdresser.

Meaning you can't use your kenpo looking like Nami-san!

"Hit the Mark"

Eh?! I can't hear you!

It said "hit the mark."

So what, then?!

Now I'll show you this! Crossdresser Kenpo Primal

Un, deux... Doryaa!

Longe!

Tendron!

Queue! Cuisseau! Jarret!

Un, deux, doryaaa!

Bombardier Arabesque!

Veau Shot!

Looks like I've busted a couple more bones again...

Protect Alubarna!

Sir Crocodile is plotting to take over?!

If you can just draw everyone's attention for a few seconds,

I can manage the rest!

So please...

...destroy this palace!

What are you saying, Princess?!

Are you insane?!

Vivi-sama! If we did that...

If we did that... what?!

This kingdom would come to an end?

No, it wouldn't!

This will be a kingdom for the first time...

...with them!

Listen. A kingdom is its people.

Vivi-sama...

I will do as you say!

Everyone, set all our explosives on the palace's foundation!

I can't believe they're actually gonna do this!

This palace holds 4000 years of history!

I'm unsure of what to say about all this!

It's all right.

I know you had no choice but to fight back against the rebel army.

I'm sorry for suddenly leaving the kingdom...

But it's not over yet.

Even if we do stop the rebels,

as long as Crocodile is alive, peace will never come to this kingdom.

How distressing.

This is a dangerous plan you're cooking up.

This place will soon be my home.

Crocodile!

Hello there, Princess.

--Daddy! --Sire!

Vivi! What are you doing here?!

Well? Are you ready to accept your fate?

Are you?!

Thunderbolt Tempo!

Sparkling Daisy!

Blow away.

You'll pay for that!

Sea Urchin...

�Stinger!

This doesn't hurt or itch even a bit!

Do you know what kind of pain she's going through?

Compared to that... a leg or two or three...

...is nothing at all!

Tornado Tempo!

What?! What, what?!

Why...

Why are You here?!

Where's Luffy-san?!

He's dead.

You lie! Luffy-san would never be killed by the likes of you!

Is that what you think?

The door!

Back to the palace! Force the door open!

Dieciseis Fleurs.

�What the--?! --Hands?!

Why are you doing this, Crocodile?!

Keep quiet, fool.

Cobra.

There is one question I must ask you.

For this is my ultimate goal!

Where is the Pluton?

Spiral Hollow!

I can't... turn my back on this...

Spar Break!

Damn you! What did you do?!

I hit you with all those techniques!

I can hear it... The breath of his steel...

Alright, then. I'll completely finish you with this next one.

I don't think a single sword will help you withstand my technique.

That's all right. I won't need to.

Ready to die, huh?! Perfect!

Single Sword Style...

...Lion Strike!

Atomic Spart!

I thank you.

What the hell're you cryin' for?!

'Cause that damn mole hag said Luffy's dead!

Do you think it's true?

And you guys believe that?!

Of course not! Are you stupid or something?!

Same here! I don't believe it one bit!

Then our job now is to meet up with everyone at the palace ASAP!

Save your snot for when the sounds of this battle have ended!

Finally got it off!

Where is the Pluton?

You! How do you know that name?!

There's such a thing in this kingdom?!

A secret that's passed down together with the crown?!

With it, I can build the greatest military state in the land.

One so powerful that it even surpasses the World Government.

I do not know where you heard the name "Pluton,"

but not even I know where it is.

It's not even clear if it truly exists or not.

I see...

Incidentally, the town square where your royal army has gathered...

At 4:30 pm today, in 15 minutes,

a powerful bomb is set to be fired into it.

Are you insane?!

It's a special bomb that'll blow up everything in a 5-km diameter.

It'll probably change this entire landscape completely...

If you do that-l

You'd be happy, right? With both armies dead, this revolt will end!

What did they ever do to you?!

Vivi-sama!

How can you do that?!

Now then, Mister Cobra...

Allow me to change the question.

Where is the Poneglyph that's been passed down by the royal family?

If I tell you where it is...

No... I will show you to the mortuary temple myself.

You're truly a ruler of virtue, Cobra!

Accompany him to the temple, Nico Robin.

Yes.

Daddy!

Whoops.

Who said you could go?!

Get away from Vivi-sama, you fiend!

A Zoan-type, huh?

The Dog-Dog Fruit, Model Jackal!

Howling Fangs!

Chaka!

You'd die for others too, huh?!

Vivi!

--Koza! --Am I seeing things?!

I don't need the rebel leader loafing around in a place like this!

Koza! Are you all right, Koza?!

I came here to persuade the royal army, but...

This is all because of...

Me.

Koza�.

Zoro'. Zero'. Wake up, you'.!

The sounds are getting more intense! Let's hurry!

The king's gone, the rebel leader's gone...

This is now a fight to the death...

...between lizards with their heads chopped off!

Where'd this sandstorm come from?!

I can't see!

Don't falter! Break through it!

What's with this sand cyclone?!

Don't break the formation!

Engage the enemy, royal army!

I will not give up...

If I stop the bombing...

...I can reduce the number of casualties...

"This will stop the rebellion. That will stop the rebellion."

Your ideals are unbearably pathetic!

I don't care if they're pathetic... I won't abandon my ideals!

What an unlovely woman.

In the end, none of you were able to stop anything.

You only made more victims out of those who followed your ideals!

Do you need me to tell you?!

You cannot save this kingdom!

Vivi! Vivi!

Vivi!

Luffy-san?

Don't give up yet!

Luffy-san!

Just in time!

Luffy! Pell!

My voice doesn't reach anyone anymore!

Don't worry.

We hear your voice loud and clear!

Zoro! Look up there!

Huh?!

Luffy's alive! Vivi too!

See! Told ya so! I knew it!

You didn't act like someone who knew!

Hang on, Vivi-chwan!

Let's hurry, Zoro!

I'm clearly more wounded here, you know!

My leg's been injured! I can't stand up!

Liar!

You can read Poneglyphs?

Yes. That's why Crocodile and I teamed up.

Which means he can't kill me.

I see...

So Pluton really is...

Are there any others?! Is this all this kingdom is hiding?!

Unsatisfied? I've kept my side of the--

Why?!

What I seek isn't here, either...

Is that it, Nico Robin?

That was fast...

Have you deciphered it?

Yes...

Then tell me where the Pluton--

It isn't written here.

What?

Only history is written here.

The word "Pluton" didn't appear even once.

I see. That's too bad.

You've been an excellent partner...

...but I believe I'll kill you now.

I'm gonna put an end to all this!

Right!

Vivi!

Vivi-chwan! Are you all right?!

Vivi!

We're here, too!

You're all alive!

Are you all right, Luffy-kun?

Yeah!

Down there is the mortuary temple.

Alright!

I'm coming for you, alligator!

Find the cannoneer in the next five minutes?!

If this sandstorm is Crocodile's doing,

firing a bomb into this square means a cannoneer has to be nearby!

In that case, somewhere high up is most likely.

High UP?

You don't just leave bombs that destroy 5 km around lying about!

Plus, to do it accurately, you wouldn't launch it, you'd drop it!

You're amazing, USQPP!

Call it a sniper's hunch!

--Well, now that we know that... --Let's hurry!

�Yeah! --Right!

No, it's more like talent of natural-born genius than it is a hunch!

Uhh...

Water, huh?

But it's useless if it doesn't touch me.

I forgive you for everything, Nico Robin.

After all, from the very start...

...I've never trusted a single person.

Cobra's reaction proved to me that Pluton exists.

I'll find it on my own.

Once this kingdom is mine, it'll only be a matter of time!

It's too early for the attack on the town square. Is this your doing?!

This temple is designed to collapse with the pull of a single stone.

As the 12th generation king of the Nefertari family,

I won't let the likes of you have this kingdom of sand!

You're trying to bury me alive with you?

You're certainly a model king...

But you cannot kill me.

I can change everything into sand and escape!

Enjoy dying for nothing, Mister Cobra!

I've got you now, alligator!

You... How did you escape that quicksand?

Why are you alive?!

Why are you standing up to me now?!

Well, Straw Hat?!

'Cause you still haven't given back...

...what you stole!

What I stole? Money?

Reputation?

Trust?

Life?

Rain?

The kingdom!

Impossible...

Crocodile!

Don't tell me you--

When you stabbed me in the desert,

the Yuba water that touched your arm showed me.

You can't turn into sand if you touch water.

Then blood should do the same.

Very well.

I'll reward your resolve to challenge me after seeing hell once before.

As a pirate.

What's that?

A poison stinger.

I see.

Duels between pirates are always battles for survival.

The word "unfair" doesn't exist for us...

This is the end.

Let's finish this once...

...and for all-

What're you doing?!

I'm trying to get into Crocodile's mindset--

Just get looking!

Chopper! Can't you find it with your nose?!

I can't! The whole city smells like gunpowder!

Then try to smell a cannoneer who might target the town square!

What's that supposed to smell like?!

Anyway, it's a huge bomb.

A cannon wouldn't be able to send it too far.

We're nearly out of time!

Hey! What is it, Vivi?!

Why didn't I realize it before?

It's hidden from view and has lots of room!

I used to play there when I was a child!

--C'mon, Vivi! We gotta hurry! --Vivi! Usopp!

--You find it?! --No idea-

Usopp-san! I know where it is!

Seriously?! Then I'll tell the others!

Huh?

--So, where is it?! --Up there!

Eh?!

We can't get there in one minute!

Nami-san!

Vivi-Chan!

Did you guys find the cannoneer?!

What are you doing up there?!

Huh? My great detective skills--

Usopp! We gotta hurry before time's up!

O- Oh, right!

We'll never make it in time using normal methods...

If only Pell were here...

The cannoneer is in the clock tower above!

Jump up to the clock, you guys!

Yeah, right!

Use your legs or swords or something!

That's it!

Eh?! Eh?

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit! That prey we just bagged sure was big!

You can say that again!

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit! But I think this one will be even better!

You can say that again!

Because we're going to shoot such a huge bomb...

...smack into the middle of such a big crowd! How nice!

Gum-Gum...

The poison will soon spread out from your shoulder! I win!

So what?!

You don't get it at all!

What exactly...

don't I get?

Gum-Gum...

...Gatling!

Don't you understand? You're about to die now!

From the poison in your wound!

That's the end of that.

What?!

Why?!

Why will you go that far?!

This kingdom isn't what you want!

What's the point in dying for it?!

You're fools, the whole lot of you!

Vivi said...

She told us not to die...

...yet she's the one putting her life on the line the most to save people!

If I let you go, she'll die!

Yes... You'll be happy to know I killed her--

Don't be stupid!

Vivi is alive! I refuse to let her die!

It's because I don't want her to die...

...that we're friends!

That's why as long as she doesn't give up on the kingdom,

we're not going to stop fighting, either!

Even if you all wind up dead?

When we die... we... die.

You can howl as high-and-mighty as you want,

but in the end, your body refuses to listen!

However strongly you feel about your friends...

However hard you work to try to stop my plans...

Everything rests on whether or not you can beat me.

Ribbit! It's almost time, Mister 7!

All ready to ignite!

Ribbit, ribbit! Ignite!

Hold on, Nami! What the heck are we doing?!

Just shut up and stand there quietly! I'm trying to calculate here!

Stand here quietly?! This pose doesn't even make sense-

It'll make sense soon enough! Here goes!

We have typhoon weather!

Cyclone Tempo!

W- Wait! The Cyclone Tempo is just an after-party�

Make for the clock tower! Chopper! Jump up to Sanji-kun!

Eh?!

Don't tell me this plan is to keep jumping up to the top?!

Sanji-kun! You know what to do, right?!

There's no time left!

I can almost always tell what Nami-san's thinking, but...

Alright! I got no choice!

Looks like there's no time to think this over.

I'm counting on you, Tony-kun!

Alright! Hold on tight!

Now I get it...

Sanji!

--Get on my right foot! --Right!

Alright! All yours, Zoro!

Yes! Way to go!

Way to go...

Zoro!

Leave it to me!

Swords?!

Don't freak out! It's the back of the blades! Step on!

Got it!

--Here goes! --Right!

Go!

Ribbit?!

Here we go, Vivi!

As hard as you can, please!

Go!

Peacock String...

...Slasher!

Ribbit, ribbit! Too bad!

You missed!

Runback!

Yes!

Sorry.

This is the end!

D- Did it stop?

Get the hell off me!

What's going on?!

There's no sign of Vivi!

Eh?!

It can't be!

How despicable!

I had hoped you would at least call me thorough, Mister Cobra.

Every good plan must take all types of accidents into account.

A time delay of two minutes...

This means...

...the bomb is a time bomb!

It's going to explode if we don't do something!

Say What?!

Was stopping the explosion at the town square...

...impossible from the very start?!

Just how far must you go to make fools of people?!

You cannot save this kingdom!

How much must you mock people before you're satisfied?!

You... can't...

...beat me!

Those are the words you finally managed to spout out?

The perfect bluff for someone who could keel over at any moment!

It's groundless, even!

I'm the man who's going to be the Pirate King!

As I told you before,

there are loads of other rookies like you in these seas!

The more you learn about the level of these seas,

you'll stop having such dreams!

I'm the man...

...who's going to surpass you!

This brings back memories. The secret base of the Sand-Sand Clan...

Pell!

The bomb is a time bomb, and it could explode at any moment!

I... can't...

Vivi-sama. I feel very proud to have served the Nefertari family...

From the bottom of my heart.

Penn

I am the guardian deity of Alabasta!

A falcon!

The one who shall destroy...

...the enemy of the royal family!

--Say, Pell... --Yes?

Why do you practice fighting everyday?

Because I'm a guard. It's so I can protect this kingdom.

I need to be strong.

Who are you going to fight?

I don't know. But it's not so much fighting as it is protecting.

There's a difference?

The goal is different.

How weird.

Pell...

That bastard...

He protected the kingdom.

Whoa!

No Way!

Why... won't they stop?

...the fighting!

Please stop the fighting!

Please stop the fighting!

Please stop the fighting!

Vivi...

Please stop the fighting!

This is so stupid...

What're you just standing around for?!

Go kick or punch or something!

Just stop the rebellion!

The scorpion venom is definitely working!

So where is this brat getting this strength from'?!

Who the hell do you take me for?!

I don't care who you are!

I...

...will surpass you!

Damn you!

Sables Pesado!

Gum-Gum...

Desert...

...Storm!

...La Spada!

Whoa! Look up there!

�Crocodile?! �Crocodile?!

Luffy-san...

Hey!Boy�.

There are no enemies left, and yet...

Are you all right?!

Is this--

Please don't shed any more blood...

Please stop the fighting!

Rain...

It's raining!

This rain falling now will fall again as it did long ago!

Vivi's voice reached them!

It's Vivi-sama!

Vivi-sama...

The nightmares... are finally over!

I thank you.

That's okay...

Both armies, toss away your weapons!

--Chaka-sama! --Koza-san!

This war was fixed from the very beginning!

It was all Crocodile's doing!

Where are you all?!

There he is...

Who are you people?

Oh, thanks for carryin' that guy on your back...

He's one of ours. We'll take him for you.

Everyone!

Daddy?!

--It's Vivi! --Vivi!

I see... So you helped Vivi...

He saved me.

Even after having fought Crocodile,

he leapt above ground while carrying two people.

Such unbelievable strength...

We need to tend to him quickly. You folks, too.

More importantly, Vivi. Hurry back to the town square.

Eh?

In a kingdom where a rebellion has finally stopped,

you need some words from a king or princess for real closure!

Then will you also--

You know the score.

We're notorious!

So we have no intention of getting involved with a kingdom!

I'm hungry!

I'll be at the palace. I'm exhausted...

Okay!

It is only natural to feel regret and unbearable emotion.

We have lost so much, and gained nothing.

Sire...

But this is advancement.

No matter who was being fought,

the fighting happened, and is now over!

No one can take away the past!

May you rise up from this war and live on...

...Kingdom of Alabasta!

Look, Koza... It's raining!

After only three years... After only this much...

Right, rain?

You're still up, Vivi?

Daddy�.

Can't sleep?

No. I just don't want to.

I want to watch this rain some more...

The newly-liberated rain poured down on the kingdom ceaselessly...

...for three days straight.

Whew! I slept great!

Luffy!

--My hat! Where's my hat?! --Hey, you! You went to do more training, didn't you?!

--I'm starving! VVhere's breakfast? And my hat?! I'm starving! --I can do whatever I want!

--I'm the ship's captain! Don't undo your bandages! --It's hard to move in them!

--I said not to! --I'm so glad you're feeling better, Luffy-san!

Hat!

Oh, thank goodness! Long time, no see, Vivi!

Long time, no see?

Yeah, sleeping for three days straight might make you feel that way!

Three days?!

You mean I missed out on fifteen meals?!

How can you calculate that so fast?!

Plus, that's assuming five meals per day!

If you'd like to eat, I've asked them to have food ready at any time!

That's nasty!

Hold it, Luffy! You took stuff from my plate, too!

Whoa, there!

There's plenty to go around!

Who are you, Wapol or something?!

Terrible news, everyone!

Watch what you're eating!

A-A fleet of navy ships is headed for our kingdom...

Tonight?!

Well, there's no reason to stick around anyway...

Our captain is finally awake...

And navy ships are headed this way.

Luffy! You decide what to do!

Alright! Let's go after we have some more Alabasta food!

We're going now, you idiot!

Say, everyone...

Vivi...

What... should I do?

Come with us, Vivi.

Absolutely come! Come now!

Vivi!

At noon tomorrow, we'll bring the ship by the eastern port only once!

If you decide you want to travel with us, then be there!

We'll welcome you warmly! Though we are pirates!

You're the princess of a kingdom,

so this is the best invitation we can offer.

Tell me, Karoo...

What do you want to do?

I...

I've been saved twice now by people with "D" in their names...

Monkey D. Luffy, and...

Alright! Let's go up!

I have no purpose to live for anymore!

Leave without me!

Why do I have to listen to you?!

Jaguar D. Saul...

Someday you will meet friends!

There's no such thing as being born and staying absolutely alone!

There are too many enemies against my dream...

Go and meet your friends who are waiting for you...

...out there on the seas, Robin!

The town square is packed now...

Really?

They've been told that your speech starts at noon.

You were supposed to do this "Life Purpose Ceremony" at age 14,

so everyone really looks forward to this today!

I'm coming in, Vivi...

Sit down, Daddy...

I mean, Father.

I have something important to tell you.

Look! It's Vivi-sama!

Vivi-sama!

--We've been waiting for you! --Princess!

You're all grown-up now!

I had a little bit of an adventure!

I sure hope this doesn't turn into an uproar...

Koza! It's started!

It's loud enough that the whole kingdom can hear it.

It was a journey of despair across dark seas. A dark journey...

During a storm, I encountered a single, small ship.

The ship pushed me forward and said this:

"Can't you see that light?"

That ship, which never lost its way in the darkness,

passed over the large waves as if dancing.

It didn't defy the sea, yet the bow sailed straight and true,

and pointed ahead.

"Look! There's light!"

History will come to call this an illusion...

...but for me, it's the truth!

You hear that speech? That's definitely Vivi's voice.

Vivi...

It only sounded like Vivi's voice!

That's her at her Alubarna ceremony. She's decided not to come.

Let's go. It's past noon.

She wouldn't not come! Let's get off and look for her!

I know she's there!

Not good! The navy fleet's here!

Already?! Let's go!

Just give it up, Luffy. Vivi-chan's a princess.

What the hell is going on?!

Show your face, you fake princess!

Where's the real Vivi-sama?!

Right now, Vivi-sama is...

Everyone!

Vivi!

Karoo!

Everyone!

See! She came!

--Vivi! --Alright! Let's turn the ship back!

I came... to say goodbye!

What... did she just say?!

I... can't go with you!

Who's she talking to?

Thank you so much for everything!

I would like to go on more adventures,

but I just love this kingdom too much!

So I can't go!

I see!

I...

I'm... going to stay here...

...but if we ever...

...meet again...

...will you call me...

...your friend...

�again?!

--You'll always be our fr-- --You idiot!

Don't reply! The navy's close by!

If they find proof Vivi's connected to us, she'll wind up a criminal.

Let's part ways quietly.

No matter what happens from now on...

...these marks on our left arms...

...are the symbols of our friendship!

Set sail!

There is something I want to protect

I'm going to grow strong here

so I clench my clenched fists again

I really can't express what's most important with words

I slowly, slowly gazed at you from behind just now

I learned that you're the one who decides how you live

I'm sure your real courage was kindness

I decided I wouldn't cry, yet the tears wouldn't stop spilling out

Not because I'm lonely, not because I'm sad

But because you gave me courage

The morning you decided to set out, I couldn't stop you

Our paths lead separate ways now, but I'll believe in you as I go

Surely everyone hurts each other for as much as they're alone

Please don't forget our bond

What's this?

Hmm? This? It's a symbol of friendship.

Friendship?

Yes. A symbol of very dear friends...

How are you doing, everyone?

Where have your travels taken you to now?

I often think back to then and come here.

After all, I'm... we're...

...friends forever!
