In the plaza of Alabasta, Sir Crocodile fell violently, creating cracks in the flat ground!
"The rain falling now will be like before... falling again, because... the demon is gone!" Vivi stood atop the Clock Tower, looking at the confused citizens!
Rain poured down!
"You said the demon is gone?"
"What a joke, demons don't just disappear when you want them to!"
"We saw with our own eyes the Royal Army invade Nanohana!"
The Rebel Army was not convinced and raised their weapons! At the same time, the Royal Army also took up fighting stances!
The rain stopped the chaos! But it couldn't stop the ignorant citizens' desire to fight!
Just as the two armies were about to clash again,
"Put down your weapons, Royal Army!" A powerful voice rang out, and a scarred man appeared on the palace wall; it was none other than the Royal Army commander, Chaka!
"You too, Rebel Army!" At the same time, a man with white curly hair appeared at the midline of the two armies' engagement; it was Igaram, the perverted uncle from Whiskey Peak!
He slowly walked forward, holding a small boy, "Hey, can you speak?"
"Is he from Nanohana?"
"That's right, he's the child attacked by the Royal Army!"
The Rebel Army discussed amongst themselves!
"No, it wasn't them, someone else attacked me!" The little boy panted nervously, then slowly recounted the truth... The Rebel Army exchanged glances!
"That's right, this war was designed from the very beginning!" At this moment, the heavily injured Rebel Army leader, Koza, finally spoke.
"I'll explain everything that happened in this country! Now, drop your weapons!" Igaram's attitude was firm!
Finally, amidst the sound of weapons falling, Alabasta welcomed its truth!
...In the palace graveyard, Luffy, lying on the ground, looked at the underground temple that was about to completely collapse, took a deep breath, "I've defeated Crocodile, where's my reward? System!"
"Ding, detecting that the war is not completely over, please host..."
"Nani?"
..."What? It was all Crocodile's conspiracy!"
"Damn it, I really misjudged him!"
The crowd looked angrily at the fallen Crocodile!
At this moment, the fallen Crocodile's fingertip moved, then he slowly opened his eyes; he tried to get up, but a sharp pain spread throughout his body! In the end, he could only support himself with one hand and sit up!
Looking at the angry crowd, Crocodile sneered, "So noisy!" Then a wave of sand swept around, and Marines, Rebel Army, Royal Army, anyone in his vicinity, instantly turned to dust!
"Crocodile!"
The surviving crowd retreated in fear!
Vivi, Koza, Pell, and Chaka were furious!
Zoro looked solemn, gripping his sword hilt with both hands!
"Crocodile!!" Just then, the ground rumbled, and Luffy stood up! "The war is over! From the moment you tried to take over this country, you had already failed!"
Crocodile was startled, looking at his broken poison hook, then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I'm really getting old! To be defeated by you... to have my plan ruined! But, I no longer... need Pluton! I am... a Shichibukai! You small fry!"
"Boom!" A powerful force, invisibly mixed with yellow sand, indiscriminately swept towards everyone!
Then, "Thump, thump, thump" one after another fell; Vivi, Zoro, Sanji, Pell, and Chaka endured the mountain-like pressure, their clothes soaked with sweat!
Luffy's body felt the pressure, and his Haoshoku burst out like a flood!
Immediately, two forces began to clash invisibly!
Finally, Vivi, Nami... fell! Tashigi and the lucky survivors thousands of meters away looked puzzled at the people who had fallen in unison! If they had walked towards the plaza, they would have understood within a hundred meters!
"Damn it!" The Zoro and Sanji duo struggled to resist. At this moment, the two of them were like a small boat in stormy waves!
"How is this possible? Haoshoku...?" Crocodile's expression completely lost control, and he roared, "Who exactly are you? Straw Hat?"
Luffy's eyes were calm, "I am the man who will become the Pirate King!" His powerful Haoshoku overwhelmed Crocodile, "I am Monkey D. Luffy!"
Crocodile was stunned, his eyes lost focus, and just as he was about to mock, he heard the latter half of the sentence and mumbled, "Monkey D.?" Then he went completely mad, "Hahahaha, the descendant of a marine hero wants to become the Pirate King? What a huge irony!!" Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted!
And Luffy's body also became unsteady, 'What's going on, my body isn't listening! Is it overload?' Then his body fell heavily to the ground!
The Zoro and Sanji duo nearby felt their bodies loosen, the overwhelming pressure instantly vanished, and they immediately collapsed to the ground!
"What an idiot! Although I don't know what's going on, it should be related to that guy! What kind of power is this, I feel much stronger! It would be great if it could happen a few more times!" Zoro pondered, then said to Sanji, "By the way, what did Sir Crocodile say in the end? Curly Eyebrow!"
"You're also an idiot! Don't call me Curly Eyebrow, you Mosshead!" Sanji roared furiously.
The two argued non-stop! Finally, looking at the fallen crowd, the Zoro and Sanji duo looked exasperated.
"But, the grandson of a marine hero, huh?" Sanji lit a cigarette calmly and muttered!
...Some time later, Tashigi arrived with a large number of Marines!
As far as the eye could see, there were only the unconscious Vivi, Pell..., the Royal Army, the Rebel Army, Baroque Works members, and the culprit of it all - Crocodile... A large number of people stood in the rain, looking at the desolation and the scattered corpses!
"We've done something irreversible!"
Just as morale was low, a figure slowly walked over, "It's natural to regret, and it's natural to want to make amends!"
"King!" The crowd's gaze straightened.
"So much was lost, yet nothing was gained. But this is a brand new beginning. No matter who the opponent was, the war began and now it has ended."
"No one can erase what has already happened. We will rise from the war and continue to live!"
"Beyond reach!"
Drops of tears, mixed with the miraculous rain, fell upon this dry land!
"Oh, great Kingdom of Alabasta!"
Soon, this war, which was recorded in history but by no means worthy of praise, finally came to an end... PS: Regarding Luffy, the setting is absolute calmness during combat, and still being a goofball outside of combat!
This means a balance, separating entertainment and combat!
