Alabasta vs Baroque works !

After exiting the casino, Luffy and the others could see so many bounty hunters or workers for the Baroque works. Luffy glared at each of those outlaws.

"Yoohoo... That guy is worth 40 million ฿!" (Mob A)

"Hey hey, Woman! Cmon here and let's play!" (Mob S)

"Kyakakaka! You guys won't leave here alive!" (Mobs)

Watching and hearing this, The crew grimaced. Luffy readied his fist and started to stretch his arm and fist. Zoro had already drawn his katanas while Nami went beside Zoro.

Koby closed his eyes and thought.

'... I know... I know that plenty of people here in One Piece are like these types... that's why... it can't be helped... I'm not going to like it... But I should resolve myself to clean these pests!' (Koby)

The battle had already started when Luffy was having a rampage!

Koby smiled after finishing his thought. the smile was unlike anything Koby ever had on his face before. Not the smile when he reassures the citizens and not the smile he makes when he was having fun with his nakama. The smile was a merciless one of an executioner.

"DON'T GET IN MY WAY!!" (Luffy)

"No mercy!" (Koby)

Monferno and Grovyle appeared beside Koby, and with their sense, they can feel the wrath of their trainer. Influenced by this, Monferno and Grovyle wreak havoc on the battlefield.

Koby was fast, like a ninja. he knew that speed is really important when fighting others. Koby was confident that he is much faster than these bounty hunters, hence when they tried to attack him. He knew that he can reach them faster.

*Smack* *Pow* *Crash*

He kept on avoiding waves of attack and then striking back. Of course, he can't avoid all of them. Using [Acrobatics] and [Close Combat] made him look a real ninja in a fight.

*please watch boruto ep 189, You won't be disappointed*

Swinging his arm and striking fast, Most of them couldn't even last a few moves and got knocked out. He also didn't forget to try his newest move. Since he started to train on standing/walking on water, [Aura Barrier] could be useful in both offensive and defensive. He tried to stack these but only had 2 barriers as a result, he noted to practice this more in the future.

Letting out his anger, Luffy pummeled everyone of them. he even exhaled hard at his nose when he was done. Like an angry bull

"This is not enough as a warm-up!" (Luffy)

"Have you release enough anger? let's go to Vivi and the others, Luffy." (Nami)

Luffy nods and looked at the surroundings, He smiled since he was not alone during that fight. Luffy could see a bunch of their enemies burned and grunting in pain. he went to his friend and high-five'd each other. he was still excited about the animals that Koby has, and as usual he and the monkey got along with each other.

"This is bad everyone, I noticed someone at the corner and I think it's the marines." (Koby)

"Hm... it should be Smoker, enough talking. we need to get out here!" (Zoro)

"Smokey?" (Luffy)

All of them were feeling a lot better since they released their pent-up anger during the conversation with Nico Robin. Using [Aura Sight] he can feel/see many auras running towards their spot. Koby relayed it to them and they started to runaway~.

When they just exited Koby throws a pokéball up to the sky and Yellow Ptero was there. Jumping at the back of the dinosaur, they mounted it and Yellow Ptero flew towards the capital Alubarna.

During the travel, The crew saw a Turtle smoking a cigarette. Carrying the carriage, They caught a glimpse of the woman they negotiated a while ago in the casino. they were surprised since the turtle was fast.

"Fufufu... they didn't die there? what a fun crew... Do you think they can survive? Banchi." (???)

*Turtle sounds*

◇◇

Vivi was anxious, she was very glad that her kingdom manages to get out from that man's grasp. now it is a head-on clash against the Kingdom of Alabasta and the Baroque works. But she still doesn't want anyone to die.

She's staying at the veranda of the palace right now observing the situation with her father and Pierre. The war had already started and she hopes that Chaka, the other guardian of Alabasta, could repel and defeat those baroque works millions.

Her concerns about her friends continued through the battle, The others aren't here. She was really thankful to Chopper who wanted to help and volunteered to lead their emergency medical station. As for Usopp, she was thankful for his concerns for her since Usopp was also observing the battlefield close to them at the back of Pinky, His legs were really shaking and she noticed that Usopp's keep on gulping.

*Swoosh*

Strong winds carrying sands were present in the veranda. Usopp landed and stayed close to the guardian of Alabasta, Pierre. All of them could hear a creepy voice but you can feel full of confidence from the voice.

"Hehehe... I see you're not taking this situation seriously, Miss Wednesday... Do you think that the royal army of yours can win against my subordinates and agents?.. How Foolish." (???)

"Kuh... Cro...codile!!" (Vivi)

"Hieeeh... V-V-Vivi! Don't you wor-worry! I'm g-gon- No, T-This guy will protect us..." (Usopp)

Usopp had been shaking from the start, He pointed to Pierre and hide behind him.

"So, It's you! Why? Why are you doing this to my country?" (Cobra)

"Hm... Cobra huh, Isn't because I love sand?..." (Crocodile)

Seeing their faces, Crocodile laughs even harder.

"Well... I'm just kidding. In fact, I don't even care if I can have this kingdom or not." (Crocodile)

"What do you mean?" (Cobra)

"Cobra... Where is the Pluton?" (Crocodile)

*Gasp*

"How... do you know that name?..." (Cobra)

So many thoughts formed in the mind of Vivi, but luckily, It was all answered by Crocodile who started to monologue about his plan. Explaining that Pluton is an ancient weapon that is said to destroy islands in one shot and it was hidden in this country. He planned to take over this country and take pluton to have the most military power in the world.

Pierre spoke and was angry that Crocodile did all of this just for his selfishness, they were lucky that the rebel army and royal army didn't have to fight each other. Crocodile admitted defeat there, Vivi had done a good job but their hope was immediately extinguished.

The sandman informed them that since his plan failed, He had already started his other plan, THE BOMB in the palace square where the most royal army is at. it can destroy anything within 5 km diameter, he said.

They only have an hour to find it and to stop it from exploding. Vivi and Usopp were already pale from listening. VIvi was now shouting at Crocodile and it was that time a messenger arrives, He didn't know about what's happening but he needed to relay the message.

The king and Pierre didn't expect that the message was that the front line of the royal army is already in shambles, Chaka was defeated by the leader of the enemy, Mr. 1. Vivi was already on her knees. and clearly, Crocodile will move soon.

"HA HA HA HA... See, my subordinates could handle your army. well, if they're lucky to survive the bomb, maybe ill take them in." (Crocodile)

"Now tell me! Where is Pluton?!.. keeping silent are we... I knew you won't talk without suffering a bit, so watch as I bury your daughter into the sand." (Crocodile)

"Vivi-sama! I can't.. take this any more!.. CROCODILEEEEEE!" (Pierre)

"Cien fleurs! CLUTCH!" (???)

Pierre transforms himself into his falcon form and charges at the sandman, he didn't expect hands to bloom at his body, His wings were snapped and he falls down. he tried to fight back at the raven-haired woman since he felt that it was her who did it. but then another six hands sprouted from nowhere and puts him on a submission hold. he heard some talking and passed out.

"Nico Robin... it's good your back. Cobra, Where can I find the Poneglyph?" (Crocodile)

"If I tell you where... no... I'll take you there." (Cobra)

"Ha Ha Ha... Just what I'd expected from a wise king. Cobra, You're a clever man." (Crocodile)

"No... Father! you can't!" (Vivi) *reaches out to her father*

"...I need you to stay alive my daughter, BOY! take care of her." (Cobra)

Cobra had spoken his words for Usopp, who heard it and gulped hard. he is still shaking from fear but he is also a man! The king is speaking to him man to man, He tried hard and moved to grab Vivi and flee from this place.

"C'mon Vivi, let's get out of here... Please, come!" (Usopp)

But Vivi didn't budge, She was really in her darkest moment. She really hates Crocodile to the core, he drove her to the corner. Her people didn't even do anything wrong. She cried really hard, and can't help but shout to the name she had placed her hope.

"LUFFYYYY! Help!" (Vivi)

but nothing happened, Crocodile was already laughing so hard while Nico Robin was thinking that something is wrong, she had seen the dinosaur. She knew her banchi was fast but so does that flying dinosaur, they should've arrived here.

Aside from the crying noise from Vivi, the plan of Crocodile went smoothly, Cobra was walking towards them and soon they're going to have the ancient weapon.

Until Luffy appeared on the back of a dinosaur, that is.

"CROCOOOODIIIILEEEEEE!" (???)

Hearing his name, Crocodile looks upward, where the sound is coming from. All of them joined him in looking at the sky. little did they know that they can't even saw what happened.

After looking up, they heard a punch sound. after that, they looked around and can see Crocodile was on the ground with a fist mark on his face. Shocked, they were speechless.

*crash*

"Phew... I managed to land a hit. Hey! I feel that it didn't affect you that much..." (Luffy)

"LUFFFFFFYYYYY!!!! YOU'RE HERE! I'm so glad you're here!" (Usopp) *Crying too much*

"Who is this man?" (Cobra)

"A man with a D..." (Robin) (a/n: Please don't sexualize this, it's the D in Monkey D. Luffy ;)

"Imp... Impossible, I'm a sandman, A logia devil fruit user. It shouldn't affect me." (Crocodile)

Vivi was relieved! Just one punch of Luffy feels like her anger had transferred to that hit. She was happy that Luffy was here now. She tried to rescue her father but Nico Robin was there and tucked Cobra in the walls with a nail. Cobra told Vivi to get out of here and save the people in the palace square, Looking again at Usopp, the two men were on the same page.

This time, Usopp managed to convince Vivi to get out here, They trusted Luffy to deal with that. they also need to meet up with the others, Luffy was here means Zoro, Koby, and Nami are already here.

At the veranda of the palace, Crocodiles was still shaken by the hit. He begins his villain monologue again and asks what he did, as usual, Luffy can't lie and wants the fight to start already.

"Stop yapping already... All I did was trust Koby... He talked about this and that but... I don't understand one bit of it! I just know that Koby's a genius! And... now! I can beat you up!" (Luffy)

Luffy started the battle by using his gomu gomu no Pistol! this time Crocodile dodged. He felt humiliated to dodge an attack from a rookie.

"Shishishi... Yup! You're afraid of water, That's why you took the rain!" (Luffy) *Smirking while getting ready to fight*

"Damn rookie..." (Crocodile) *Provoked*

And the fight between the straw hats vs baroque works just started!
