Inherited will...
The tide of the times... People's dreams...
These things cannot be stopped.
As long as people seek the answer of freedom,
these things will never cease to be!
I only believe in the future-- I don't care if anyone laughs
That racing passion makes you shine
It's too bright, but I want to gaze at it
I sense "aesthetics" somewhere
I'm really, really stuck on you
I follow, follow in the footsteps of a dream that resembles no one
Until I dramatically get it
Believe In Wonderland!
I'm going to catch, catch the shape of a dream no one can see
I'm going to go with you, so passionate feelings
I don't really need everything to add up
Rather than run-of-the-mill daily life,
run for paradise instead
Believe In Wonderland!
"Rainbase" "Alubarna" "Yuba" "Erumalu" "Nanohana" "Katorea" "Spiders Café"
Three years have passed since a single drop of rain fell
in the kingdom of oases.
The burning land is now enveloped by a sad bellowing
and a mighty swell.
At long last, Luffy's group reached Crocodile's base in Rainbase.
However, waiting for them there
were marines led by Captain Smoker of Navy Headquarters.
While fending off the marines and Baroque Works' Millions,
Luffy's party storms the Raindinners Casino, where Crocodile is.
"The Trap of Certain Defeat! Storming Raindinners"
I know you're in there, Crocodile!
Get back here, you!
Shoot 'em! Shoot 'em!
Damn, they're annoying!
That quieted things a bit.
Crocodile!
Come out!
I came all this way to kick your ass!
Crocod--!
That's not gonna make him come out here!
We're dealing with the country's hero!
Are you trying to make these patrons our enemies too?!
Alright! What do we do, then?!
H-Hold on! Without Vivi, we won't know who Crocodile is!
Speaking of which, where is Vivi?!
Vivi! Crocodile! Where are you?!
Hey, now!
Assistant Manager! Some strange people have come inside!
Have security take care of 'em. Don't make such a fuss!
Hey! Vivi and Crocodile aren't coming!
I've got you now, Straw Hat!
Smoker!
You think you can just scurry all over the place!
It's Smokey!
R-Run!
Damn! What's that smoke freak doing here in Rainbase?!
I'd say he's taken quite a liking to Luffy!
This building is surrounded by a lake! There's nowhere to run!
Please stop, sir!
Government officials aren't allowed inside!
Move!
He's so stubborn!
Get back here!
I can't deal with that guy!
Just a minute, sir.
I must ask that you leave--
W-What the--?!
Huh? Did I just run into something?
Manager! This is terrible! A strange group of people has...
Send them to the VIP room.
Owner Crocodile's orders.
Stop!
Hey! Look there!
Thank you...
...for coming!
Right this way!
This is the VIP room!
VIP room?!
Could it mean, "Bring it on"?!
This guy gets right to the point!
Alright! Let's go!
VIP?! What sort of connection do they have with Crocodile?!
Depending on that, all of 'em could get sent to the gallows!
But what's a VIP?!
Hey! The path splits!
VIPs go to the left!
And it says pirates go this way!
Which way do we go?!
Hurry and decide!
VIPs, obviously! VIPs!
But we're pirates! Pirates go this way!
Yeah! You got a point there!
W-Wait!
Straw Hat!
Huh?!
What in the world is going on?!
I can't believe we fell for this trick.
My "I Wind Up Swimming when Falling in the Darkness" disease!
A trapdoor!
Where did everyone go?
Captain Smoker!
Where could Captain Smoker have gone?
He should be chasing Straw Hat, but...
S-She's with the Navy...
Oh no! My glasses! My glasses! My glasses!
Now what?! I can't do anything without my glasses!
Are you all right?!
Umm, have you fainted?!
Please, say something!
Sergeant Major Tashigi!
Oh, here you are!
Yes! I'll be right there!
Oh! Umm--!
Are these...
Oh, you found them for me!
You're such a nice person!
Eh?
Thank you! Goodbye!
This way!
Right!
She's a world-class dimwit, that's for sure.
She said I'm a nice person!
Being praised doesn't make me happy, you moron!
Not to mention him.
A clever trap.
Yeah. It wasn't our fault.
We could have avoided it!
You did exactly what the enemy wanted!
I can't believe how stupid you are!
Anyways, I'm suddenly out of strength...
How come? Are you hungry or something?
Luffy!
I-I-I'll fight you if you want, smoke freak!
I once helped take down a bomb man!
Hiyaaa!
Huh? I have no strength...
Just like when I fall in water...
What have you done to Luffy?!
At the tip of this jutte is a material known as Sea Prism Stone.
A strange type of stone that supposedly only exists in one certain sea.
Not much is known about it,
but it basically gives off the same energy as the ocean.
You can think of it as the sea in solid form.
So it makes Luffy weak?
All Navy HQ prison cells are made of it.
To prevent criminals with Devil Fruit powers from escaping.
Then this prison cell is the same?!
If it weren't, I'd be long gone by now...
...after making it so none of you take to the seas again!
Wait! Wait! What good will fighting in this situation do?!
Besides, he's made of smoke! Swords won't work on him!
That's correct. Give it up.
You're going to die together...
...so why not get along first?
Crocodile!
What?!
So he's one of the Seven Warlords?
Looks as despicable as I thought.
Oh, you really are the wild dog I've heard about, Smoker-kun.
It seems you never once believed I was on your side.
But, yes. You're correct.
Smoker. I think I'll have you die an "accidental" death.
I'll inform the government that you fought well
against the lowly "Straw Hat" pirate.
I don't know why you've come to this country,
but I assume you're on your own.
The government would never have sent you here.
Because everyone trusts me, as a Warlord of the Sea.
So you're Crocodile?!
Hey! You! Fight me--
Pay attention! Don't touch the bars!
Straw Hat Luffy. You've done well to come this far.
I promise to get rid of you, so wait a little more.
Our guest of honor has yet to arrive.
Guest of honor?
I just sent my partner to pick her up.
I can't afford to waste time in a place like this!
You've put up quite the fight, Princess.
I'd expect no less from a former Frontier Agent!
But don't you think it's time you accepted your fate?
I have to hurry to the others!
Now come! The boss is waiting!
Don't touch me!
W-What the--?! What's that bird?!
A falcon?!
What is a bird doing with machine guns?!
It's huge!
Shoot it down!
Crap! The princess!
Pell! You came for me!
It's good to see you again, Vivi-sama.
How is my father?!
He's well.
Both the king and I read your letter.
That means Karoo made it to Alubarna safely?!
Yes. He's quite a duck.
Thank goodness!
Thanks to you and Igaram-san, we know who we're fighting now.
Yes.
Vivi-sama. Wait here a moment.
Pell?!
Not Pell the Falcon?!
H-He's the strongest warrior in Alabasta!
The Bird-Bird Fruit, Model Falcon!
Only five types in the world are known to have the power of flight...
...which you can savor now!
S-Shoot! Shoot like crazy!
He vanished!
Flying Talons!
Thank you!
Now I have to hurry to the others!
Really?
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?
You've been a real thorn in our side.
Miss All-Sunday!
It looks like our precious employees are no longer usable...
Vice-President...
Who are you?!
That was magnificent.
I've never seen someone who can fly before.
But, are you stronger than me?
Vivi-sama. I take it these are the ones threatening our homeland?
I'd like to invite the princess to our mansion.
What do you say?
Don't ask such pointless queries! It's out of the question!
Oh.
Don't screw with us!
Princesses mustn't use such uncouth words, Miss Wednesday.
How dare you kill Igaram...?
Igaram? Oh, Mr. 8?
Don't tell me you killed Igaram-san?!
What are you getting so worked up for?
How was that any different from what you did to our employees?
It's silly.
Damn you!
Become sand of Alabasta!
Tres Fleurs.
Pell!
Vivi-sama! You're all right?!
Did it look like I killed this girl?
D-Damn you! What did you do?!
Don't be so angry. I only teased you.
You have Devil Fruit powers?!
That's right. I partook of the Flower-Flower Fruit.
The power to make body parts bloom like flowers.
This is my ability.
There is no escape from my body, which can bloom anywhere.
Escape?! Nonsense!
I'm going to avenge Igaram-san right here, right now!
I'm sorry.
I'd like to play a little more, but I don't have time.
That's all right! This won't take long!
It seems you still don't understand.
Seis Fleurs!
A submission hold?!
Power. Speed.
These mean nothing to me.
Clutch!
Pell!
He was the kingdom's greatest warrior?
N-No...
Now, let us go.
This can't be...
Our boss and your friends are waiting.
Inside a prison cell in Raindinners.
Look at me, I'm Sanji.
You the one who ate the meat?
--"Collier!" --Act like...
--Here's Zoro! "Oni!" --Act like...
...serious prisoners!
How can you act like that in such a serious situation as this?!
We can't get out, so what else is there to do?!
The fact we can't get out is what makes it serious!
We might wind up dead if we don't do something!
And why are you sleeping?!
Oh, is it morning?
It's noon!
You're a high-spirited girl.
Whatever! Go ahead and act confident while you still can!
Once these guys get out of here,
they'll kick your butt and send you flying above the clouds!
Isn't that right, Luffy?!
Of course it is, you jerk!
You seem to be quite the trustworthy captain, Straw Hat Luffy.
Trust...
The most unneeded thing in this world.
Who does he think he is, insulting people?!
Q-Quit! You'll make him mad, too!
Crocodile!
Vivi!
Welcome, Vivi, Princess of Alabasta!
No, Miss Wednesday!
I'm impressed you managed to evade our assassins to come this far!
I would go as far as it takes!
Because I want you to die, Mr. 0!
If only you hadn't come to this country...
Wait! Vivi! Let us out!
...Alabasta would've remained peaceful!
Peacock String Slasher!
It's no use.
Satisfied?
As a citizen of this country, you surely know
that I have the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
Want to become a mummy?
A s-sand person!
Hey, you! Get away from Vivi! I'll kick your ass!
Sit.
Perfect timing. The party is just starting.
Correct, Miss All-Sunday?
Yes.
Party?
It just turned noon.
Operation Utopia is beginning.
Operation Utopia?
What's an "Operation Utopia"?
Hey!
It will be this pathetic little kingdom that dies, Miss Wednesday.
I'm going to wipe Alabasta from the face of the earth!
All people, big and small, will be sucked into eternal darkness
as they writhe in pain.
Let Operation Utopia...
...commence!
Like the adventurers I dreamed of when I was a child
I continue on to the ends of emotion
I scoop up my hands, and the sand and time that spills from them
show me that this is what I was born to do
Let's continue swimming at a near-tumbling speed
Until we wash up someday on a white sandy beach
no one knows about
Alabasta is going to die?
What does he intend to do?!
The operation has begun. This country will fall.
At the hands of the royal army, the rebel army, and the people!
Love for the kingdom will be what destroys the kingdom!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Operation Utopia Commences! The Swell of Rebellion Stirs"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
