Third Person POV

Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

The Black Pearl glides across the vast desert sands, its sails billowing with the wind as the silhouette of Rainbase city becomes increasingly defined against the evening horizon.

Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, stands beside Luffy, looking toward the approaching city. Her voice trembles slightly as she expresses her concerns. "Luffy, do you think Crocodile will fall and Alabasta will be safe?" She maintains an anxious gaze while looking at her captain.

"Crocodile has already made a big mess in Alabasta... Even if we finish him here, we still have to deal with the rebels who are preparing to overthrow the monarchy..." Luffy spoke in a serious tone.

Vivi shrinks, but Luffy offers words of encouragement. "Don't worry about that. Yamato and Nami will protect the capital... We just have to prevent an unnecessary massacre on both sides." Luffy turns to Vivi and smiles to reassure her.

Inspired by Luffy's confidence, Vivi lifts her head, her own determination reigniting. "You're right, we will manage to protect Alabasta!"

Luffy then turns to the rest of the crew, his gaze sweeping over the faces of his companions. "Everyone, let's prepare for battle, we're approaching the city, and I'm sure Crocodile knows it!" The order is given, and each crew member responds with a firm nod. They are ready, their weapons prepared, their minds focused.

Luffy, with his straw hat firmly on his head, remains at the prow, his eyes never leaving the approaching city. They are arriving, ready to face Crocodile and anyone else who dares to threaten their new territory.

As the Black Pearl advances toward Rainbase, Luffy stands at the prow with a burning determination in his eyes. "Let's take down a second Shichibukai!" he announces, his voice full of confidence and vigor. In a corner of the deck, Jinbe, still tied up, can't help but grimace at Luffy's bold proclamation.

As the ship got quite close to the city, Luffy noticed something strange. Instead of the hustle and bustle typical of a busy city, he sees a surprising number of marines positioned in battle formation.

"What are they doing here?" he murmurs, more to himself than anyone else. The presence of the Navy is an enigma; Smoker should still be in the South, and his rapid arrival at Rainbase seems almost impossible.

The crew joins Luffy at the prow, observing the unusual scene with binoculars and expressions of surprise. Chopper, always the most anxious, can't contain his fear. "Are we going to face the marines too?!" he cries out, his voice trembling.

Zoro, wielding his swords with a cool calm, responds with unwavering confidence. "Of course, no matter who the enemy is, if they decide to stand in our way, we'll deal with them..." His tone suggests there is no enemy too big for the Straw Hats to face.

Chopper, still nervous, rocks back and forth. "That's scary!" he exclaims, unable to hide his anxiety.

Lami, with her arms crossed and a serious expression, adds her own observation. "It seems we'll have more company than expected."

Reiju looks at Lami and mocks: "I hope you're not afraid of a few marines, right?"

Lami responds with her own mockery. "If you think I'm scared of the Navy, you don't know me..."

The entire crew awaits as the ship approaches, Hugo, with a firm and confident look, breaks the silence. "Well, no matter who's there, we'll go over them,"

Wooof! Wooof!" Chouchou agrees.

"The plan has gone wrong! All our forces are falling to the strength of the pirates! The entire crew is very powerful and they're all using the six styles!" the officer reports, the urgency clear in his voice.

"Six styles?! How is that possible... They're taking down everyone?! Where's their captain?" Momonga asks, trying to assess the severity of the situation and the next course of action.

"I'm right here." A voice sounds from the sky, and everyone looks up. Luffy appears, accompanied by Lami, Reiju, and Zoro, using Geppo to land in front of them. His arrival is as sudden as it is impressive.

"Monkey D. Luffy..." Momonga speaks cautiously, his experience telling him that the young pirate before him is a far greater threat than he initially imagined. His Haki is on alert, sensing the intensity of Luffy's power.

"Mugiwara..." Crocodile comments, his voice still laden with arrogance, not imagining how Luffy is a threat to him, but he couldn't know that.

"Look who's here, the famous Vice-Admiral Momonga and a Shichibukai, it's not every day we come across something as peculiar as you two together!" Luffy smiles excitedly, perceiving the opportunity for a challenge here. The prospect of fighting such opponents seems only to elevate his spirit.

Before Luffy and his team are Crocodile, Vice-Admiral Momonga, Mr. 1, Miss Double Finger, and four Navy commodores. The tension between the two sides is almost tangible, a thin line between negotiation and total confrontation. While the rest of the city is engaged in battle, the true confrontation, the heart of the storm that is Rainbase, is about to begin.

"You, Garp's grandson, will be captured today!" Momonga speaks with a sharp voice, and Luffy just smiles at that.

"Interesting, I hope you'll be great opponents!" Luffy smiles excitedly at this, while enemies look at him with raised eyebrows, as the rookie was quite excited, even in front of a Navy vice-admiral and a Shichibukai.
