Third Person POV
Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Before Luffy defeats his adversaries or even enters the phase to dominate the fight, elsewhere in the city, Zoro, Reiju, and Lami, having overcome the Marine commodores and some agents of Baroque Works, moved in different directions to assist the other members of their crew. Zoro, with his swords still unsheathed, advances with a firm purpose. His imposing figure and the determination in his gaze cause any remaining agent of Baroque Works or sailor to hesitate before facing him. By his side, Reiju, with the grace and lethality of a predator, kicks the air, using Geppo to move quickly and locate the next opponents. Lami, after deactivating her "Room", follows them, her confidence and skills unshakable, ready to use the Ope Ope no Mi to disorient and defeat anyone who dares challenge them.
As they approach other confrontations, the presence of each turns the battle that was already easy into a massacre. The opponents, already tired and overwhelmed by the other members of the Straw Hats, now face a new wave of relentless adversaries. The agents of Baroque Works and the remaining sailors, realizing that the tide has irrevocably turned against them, begin to retreat, their morale broken by the overwhelming force of the Straw Hats.
At that moment, in the city center and looking at the unconscious bodies on the ground, Luffy opened the shop and bought some chains to imprison his fallen enemies, he quickly put Seastone on Crocodile and surrounded the vice-admiral with so many chains that he could not break with his Haki, after that, he picked them up and started to walk towards Crocodile's casino to wait for the others, he might not have observation Haki yet, but he knew that his crew would easily deal with the opposing forces.
As the dust settles over the city's battlefield, the intensity of the fights begins to wane. The explosions, the screams, and the clash of steel against steel give way to a heavy and expectant silence.
"Let's meet at the casino, I'll be waiting for you," Luffy speaks on his untraceable den den mushi to the entire crew.
Quickly, the members of the Straw Hats, one by one, begin to head to the designated meeting place, using Geppo to find Luffy in front of the location, who had already undone his transformation, giving way to the usual carefree captain. The streets marked by the battles now serve as a silent path for the victorious to meet.
"You finished them off..." Reiju commented, looking at Luffy's prisoners.
"It was a fun fight... I learned a lot from them," Luffy was satisfied with the battle he fought.
"Damn captain, he should have left one for me... especially the swordsman..." Zoro still complained that Luffy took the two at once to fight.
*Crack*
The giants arrived at that moment.
"HEY, shall we go in there? What do you think, Dorry?"
"I think the captain should shrink us, Broggy!"
"Come here, let's bring you to an acceptable size," Luffy spoke, waiting for the giants to approach to activate his abilities of the moa moa no mi.
Vivi, and Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess, also join the group. Ironically, Vivi was carried in the air with Shirahoshi using Geppo with Megalo at her side. Despite not having directly participated in the fights, their concerns for their companions were evident.
"Luffy-Sama! Are you okay?" Shirahoshi asked approaching Luffy with her innocence and kindness, looking at Luffy with eyes full of admiration and concern. Her question about his well-being is loaded with genuine concern and relief at seeing him safe and victorious.
"I'm fine, Shira. Were you okay on the boat?" Luffy asked her.
"Yes, Luffy-Sama. Some bad men tried to attack us, but Chouchou-sama defeated them all!" She said excitedly.
"That's good, I see that the desert princess is emotional." Luffy turned to Vivi in tears as she looked at Crocodile, the Desert Lord who controlled the shadows of Alabasta, now lying powerless and unconscious, with special chains reinforced with Seastone wrapping his body.
"Thank you, Luffy, you defeated him, now will Alabasta be safe? Did you save the country?" Vivi, with tears streaming down her face, is a mixture of relief, gratitude, and a bit of sadness for what her country had to endure. She goes up to Luffy and hugs him, being emotionally overwhelmed. The sight of Crocodile, her greatest enemy and the source of so much suffering for her people, now defeated and chained, is almost too much for her to process.
"Well... for now everything is settled, if nothing strange happens, I believe it's all resolved," Luffy replied with a smile. Now without Crocodile, there was no reason for the rebels to start an attack, so Luffy thought.
"You really defeated him..." Robin approached, looking at Crocodile alongside Momonga.
"I told you. I didn't even need to use his weakness," Luffy smiled at the woman.
Upon arriving at the church, Robin moves with a quiet grace, retrieving the hidden documents. She hands them to Vivi, who accepts them with trembling hands. "These documents prove everything," Robin says softly, her tone serious and firm. "Extortion, bribery, plans to overthrow the kingdom... Everything Crocodile did is here."
Vivi leafs through the papers with a look of shock and sadness. "I knew he was behind everything, but to see it in black and white..." she murmurs, her voice almost getting lost in the vastness of the church.
Luffy, watching the interaction, places a comforting hand on Vivi's shoulder. "Now you have what you need to end all the conflicts in Alabasta, Vivi."
Vivi looks up at Luffy, her eyes shining with renewed determination. "Yes, we'll end them all!"
The group then heads back to the Black Pearl. The energy is a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction for some. "I guess we can finally take a rest, right? Like no training..." Usopp comments, trying to relieve the tension.
"We never rest," Zoro responds dryly, checking his swords.
Chouchou, the loyal dog that has been a valuable member of the team, is among those who stayed behind, guarding the Black Pearl with the seriousness and dedication that only a guard dog can offer.
"Good boy, Chouchou," Luffy says, giving an affectionate pat on the dog's head. "You took good care of our ship."
The other crew members smile and pet Chouchou, who enjoys the attention and recognition of his efforts. With everyone on board and the evidence secure, the Straw Hats prepare to set sail. It was time to head to the kingdom's capital, Alabarna.
"Let's set sail, guys!" Luffy announces, and the Black Pearl begins its journey.
