" How is it to close the window.." Nami heard Adam shout and try pressing the other button.

" Hufff.. The win outside is too strong.. " Nami tidy up her hair, the girls too.

" Look behind, Koby and Igaram is so miserable.. Hehehe ~ " Vivi said laughing covering her mouth.

Robin and Nami look back where they can see from the transparent window behind them the situation at the Cargo bed..

...

Katorea, Alabasta Kingdom.

The city was used by the base camp of hundreds of thousands from the Rebel Army.

Currently the scene were very chaotic. All the rebels have read the newspaper, and currently in a certain building many of the leader of the Rebel Army gather and discuss in a meeting.

" Is this news true? Then what we did all was wrong ? " Someone ask.

" No ! What we did was not wrong ! But, we change our target toward Rainbase, where Crocodile located is.." Koza the leader of the Rebel Army, Vivi"s childhood friend.

" But, how about the King ! We dont know his situation, maybe Crocodile already attack or ready to attack there !! " Someone said.

" Then, we go now toward Alubarna ! Protect the capital !! " Koza directly issued.

" What if the news was false and made by the Royal Family to stop us ?" Someone said worriedly.

" No ! i believe the news was true.. Look i have confirmed that Nefertari Vivi the Princess of our Kingdom was really gone half year ago.. Thinking about her personality, im sure she infiltrate the Baroque Works.. She is my childhood friend, i know her very well., and then she met someone and ask for help to release the news on the newspaper. Maybe currently she was out there somewhere on her journey towards here to stop Crocodile and persuade us.." Koza said seriously toward everyone in the meeting room.

" I believe you, Koza.. You are our leader, although we will not rebel anymore, atleast right now we have hundreds thousands of army to protect the capital and other city, prepared to being attack by Crocodile. We cant just wait the Marines. " Someone said

" Yes, we need to prepared for Crocodile attack's lets go now ! " Someone said too.

Then soon everyone disperse and quickly prepare themselves to go toward Alubarna ..

Rainbase, Alabasta Kingdom

One of the few cities within Alabasta that continued thriving even during the drought, mostly due to the gambling industry. Due to this, it has been referred to as the 'City of Dreams'. The city was the Baoque Works' main base operated by Crocodile. The city was located on the left side of the island far from Alubarna with the Sandoria River dividing them..

Currently the city was very chaotic, the civilians living there all quickly package their luggage and all go as far as possible from their 'City of Dreams' after reading the newspaper.

Rain Dinners was the casino that Crocodile used as his secret base in Alabasta. Inside of a huge room, currently there was many things destroyed and broken.

A tall man with wide c.h.e.s.t, broad shoulders, muscular arms and legs, and a thick neck. He was pale skin and nape-length black hair which is kept neatly sicked back. A long stiched scar at the of his nose that strechess across his face and a large hook made fom a tough gold alloy in place of his left hand. This man was Crocodile, the things inside the room all were destroyed and broken by him from his rage and angry state.

" Bastard ! Bastard ! What should i do, damn it that must be her who tells the news about me looking for the Pluton. Damn it !! Right now im sure a high ranking Marines is coming toward here, and my Shichibukai title will be revoked.. What should i do !!!" Crocodile keep walking back and forth thinking and talking himself.

Crocodile was a bit unlucky, he just awake not long ago, when he look at the messy people on the city, and reads the newspaper he was very bad and quickly hide in his room.

His Officer Agents from the Baroque Works already gone and dont know where to run.

He was left alone.

Alubarna, Alabasta Kingdom

Alubarna is the capital city of Alabasta. The city is build on a plateau near an oasis, and there are four long flights of stairs that act as the only entrances. Directly outside the town is a group of ruins.

Currently the situation outside the city was very tense with many of the Royal Guards guarding.

While the people inside the city was all nervous, afraid of the attack of Crocodile.

Alubarna Palace is where the royal family and their serants live, located in the center of Alubarna.

" How about Vivi? Where is she !! Why havent i recieve any information about her !! " A man in average weight, wrinkled face, a tied-off beard, and long, curly black hair sits on the throne and ask everyone in the hall.

" Sorry my King.. But from the newspaper, it can be said that she found a helper and maybe was on her journey towards here.. " A tall imposing dark skinned man with medium length black hair and a long broad nose resembling that of a jackal said respectfully toward his king. He was Chaka the Jackal, one of the two head guard in the Alabasta Kingdom, who servers under Igaram..

" Huhh.. Then what about Crocodile? Did he havent out yet from the Rain Dinner?" Nefertari Cobra, the king of Alabasta Kingdom and father of Vivi ask.

" No, our people monitoring there still havent see Crocodile out from his place." Chaka said

" He is a Shichibukai, and very strong. Dont let the guard down.. Tell it to everyone.. " Cobra said .

" Yes, my King !! " Chaka said and quickly out of the hall..

" Vivi oh Vivi... you are just like your mother.." Cobra said to himself helplessly.

Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku look at the newspaper on his hand, and felt headache.

" How did this news come from? " Segoku look toward Tsuru sitting in the sofa infront of him.

" I dont know, but soon the World Government will call you, to revoke Crocodile Shichibukai status." Tsuru said.

" The World Government will be shame with their dogs bitting behind them.. Pluton, ohh.. Crocodile is looking for death.. " Sengoku said shaking his head helplessly.

" its sending death if we didnt sent a high ranking to capture Crocodile in his own place, he eat the Sand Sand Fruit" Sengoku said.

" But i cant order the Marines to catch him, the World Government havent call me yet.. " Sengoku said helplessly.

Purururu ~

" Fleet Admiral Sengoku here.."

" Sent someone to kill Crocodile on spot ! " An angry voice directly was heard in the room.

" Yes.." Sengoku said and hung up direclty

" Gion just cross the Calm Belt, and she is still chasing Adam. Currently she is the nearest from Alabasta.." Tsuru said.

" Ahh that rebelious girl, you call and talk to her.. " Sengoku wave his hand tiredly and just lay their helplessly.

" AHAHAHAHAHAHA... Shichibukai my a.s.s, look at Doflamingo from the Punk Hazzard incident a month ago.. Why dont his status is not revoked too.. " Garp finally stop his eating Rice Crackers and laugh.

" Caesar is dead, the children was saved.. The evidence we found even was rejected unknownly by the World Government. I think that Doflamingo has a special identity or hide some secrets, and the World Government compromise.." Sengoku said.

" I hope someone can fight and clear all the Shichibukai.. Its a shame toward the Marines..." Garp said thinking of a certain young man..

" Ill go call Gion.. " Tsuru stood up and walk outside..
