Oasis of Revelations

After eating, they continued their journey to Yuba. After a few minutes, Gohan sensed something under the sand. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji also stopped as they looked toward the sand.

"There's something under the sand," said Zoro. Suddenly, some large plants burst out from the sand and tried to eat them. But Zoro cut them with a single slash. "How weak," muttered Zoro, looking disappointed.

The next moment, they saw a camel emerging from the mouth of one of the plants. Luffy got excited and sat on top of it. "Ok! Let's go!" he said excitedly.

But the camel didn't budge from his place. "What's wrong with you?" said Luffy in confusion. "Let me talk to him," said Chopper. So Gohan got next to the camel. Chopper and the camel started talking.

"He said he is thankful for saving his life, but he will only allow ladies to ride him," said Chopper after talking with the camel. The boys got angry at the camel and started kicking him. But Nami saved him from the beating. Then she and Vivi got on his back, and they continued their journey.

But the ground started to shake. "Oh! Two big ones are coming," said Gohan. Zoro and Sanji got ready to take care of the incoming trouble. Suddenly, two huge lizards burst out from the sand. One was in front of them, while the other was behind them.

Zoro took out two of his swords, and Sanji took a toothpick from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Zoro started walking towards the lizard and called out, "Two swords style! Vanishing SWORDSMAN," and he disappeared and appeared behind the lizard. Zoro put back his swords, then vertical and horizontal lines started to appear on the lizard's body, and the lizard turned into fist-sized cubes.

Everyone looked impressed, except for Vivi, who was shocked by the display of power, and also Sanji, who was looking at the lizard with disinterest. Suddenly, Sanji appeared before the lizard in the blink of an eye. He kicked it in the air, as the lizard was going upward. Sanji appeared above it. He spread his legs and started rotating, "Burning Tornado," he called out and hit the lizard to the ground.

The lizard died before hitting the ground, as it was burnt to a crisp. Sanji landed gracefully beside the corpse of the lizard. Everyone clapped for him. "Hmph! Show-off," mocked Zoro. "Oh! Look who's talking," mocked Sanji.

"Ok! We don't have time for your bickering. Let's get going," said Gohan. Sanji put the toothpick back in his pocket, but everyone except Gohan looked at him weirdly. Sanji noticed their gaze and got embarrassed. He looked at Gohan in anger, but Gohan gave him a sunny smile. "Stop smiling, you bastard! This is all your fault," shouted Sanji. "Eh? You are the one who made that promise. How can it be my fault?" Gohan said innocently. Everyone was confused. "What promise?" asked Nami. "When I was helping him train at the Baratie, he promised me he would not smoke until he beat me in a spar," said Gohan with a smile. "Stop lying! You forced me to say that," said Sanji, but Gohan stopped him. "Let's just forget about those small details. I have an idea, why don't you use a lollipop in place of the toothpick. It will make your fights more flavorful," said Gohan with a smile. "SHUT UP!!!!" shouted Sanji. They continued their journey towards Yuba.

After an unknown time, they reached their destination. But in front of them was a big sandstorm ravaging the Yuba oasis. "How can it be? Crocodile... what have the people done to him? Why is he doing this?" said Vivi with tears in her eyes. Everyone looked sadly at her. "Don't worry! That's why we are here. We will put an end to this," said Nami.

They entered the city and found that no one was there, except for an old man who was digging a hole. The old man told them to rest in the inns. When they asked him about rebels, he got mad and said they had already left Yuba. He told them about the condition of Yuba and why rebels left. He also told them that the rebel's new base is at Katorea, which was very close to Nanohana.

Luffy accidentally called out Vivi's name, and the old man heard it. He expressed his happiness that she was alive, and Vivi finally recognized him. He was Toh-Toh, Koza's father. He requested her to stop the rebels.

The next day they left Yuba after saying goodbye to Toh-Toh. Vivi wanted to go to Nanohana, but Luffy rejected the plan. He said that to stop all of this, they have to take down Crocodile. Both of them started arguing over it. Gohan bonked their heads lightly and said, "Luffy! You guys go to Rainbase. I will take Vivi to Katorea to meet that Koza guy," said Gohan. "That's a great idea!" said Nami. "Ok! I might be able to return before your fight is over. Let's get going, Vivi. Chopper, I'm taking you with me as well," said Gohan. He carried Vivi and flew away.

The Straw Hat Pirates also started their journey to Rainbase. But Luffy was still looking in the direction that Gohan had flown away. "Luffy, let's go! What are you doing?" said Usopp. Luffy turned towards them while crying and said, "I want to fly too."

It didn't take too long for Gohan to reach Katorea. He decided to land before entering Katorea so that no one could see him flying. They entered Katorea oasis, but rebels stopped them. "We want to meet your leader," said Gohan. But they pointed their guns at them. Gohan looked toward Vivi. "Please tell Koza that Vivi wants to have a word with him," said Vivi.

"Vivi? You are alive!" said one of the rebels. Some of the rebels knew that Koza and Vivi were friends. That rebel took them to Koza. Koza looked at Vivi in surprise. "Vivi! Where have you been? I heard you went missing. We thought you...." said Koza with tears in his eyes.

"Koza, you have to stop the rebels. This is all Crocodile's doing. He is the reason for our people's suffering," said Vivi. "What? The Warlord. Then why didn't King do anything about it? Sorry, Vivi, even if he's your father, he has to pay for his sins," said Koza.

Gohan got tired. "Listen up, you fool! Crocodile wants the rebels and Royal Army to kill each other so that he doesn't have to do anything. He has already made King Kobra a villain

in the minds of the people of this country. He will kill him and become the king," said Gohan.

Koza got overwhelmed by the information. "I am pretty sure that Baroque Works has infiltrated both rebels and Royal Army. As long as both sides confront each other, they will make sure that the fight happens," said Gohan.

"That's impossible! There's no way! We don't have spies among us," said Koza with confidence. "Really! Then why don't we test it," said Gohan with a smile. After a few minutes, Koza gathered rebels for an announcement.

"Everyone, I have found out something very important! The king is not our enemy. We were misled by someone. He wants Royal Army and the rebels to kill each other so that he can reap the rewards," said Koza.

"But the king used the dance powder. That's why there's no rain in this country anymore," said one of the rebels. "No! It was not King Kobra's doing. Someone is trying to frame him. That person wants to become the king of Alabasta. That person is the Warlord Crocodile," said Koza.

Rebels were shocked by this. "You are lying! Crocodile is a hero!" said a man. "Yes, we don't believe you. I heard you were meeting with the princess a few minutes ago. You must be trying to get the king's favor by siding with him," said another man.

Rebels started looking at Koza with doubtful eyes. Suddenly, someone fired at Koza, but Gohan caught the bullet. "So the rats are out," he said and disappeared. Then everyone heard the sound of bones cracking. Around twenty rebels dropped to the ground. Their necks were twisted at a weird angle. Everyone was terrified by this. "Why don't you guys check their bodies? I am sure they have Baroque Works tattoos on them," said Gohan.

They checked and found the tattoo on each one. Rebels were angry that they were played by Baroque Works. "You guys go back to Yuba and clean up the sand from the city. Because it's going to rain very soon," said Gohan.

"What? But we have to stop Crocodile," said Koza. "No! We, the Straw Hat Pirates, will take care of him and his gang. He is a Warlord, That means he works for the World Government. It will be better if we take care of him instead of you guys," said Gohan.

"Yes, please go! Old man Toh-Toh is there all alone," said Vivi. "Father..." said Koza. After that, they left Katorea and flew toward Rainbase.
