Now (Y/N) was defeated by the hook of Crocodile's. His sandstorm was his final sandstorm to Yuba, Toto is going to die to the sandstorm. The flame of the rebel army will only grow larger by the anger. The blood and ink kept dripping down the body.
Crocodile:"If you abandoned your worthless feelings, you would have lived longer." he said before noticing water pouring from his arm.
Crocodile: "I doubt you still feel indebted to this water, huh?" the ink man's arm moved and grabb3s hold the arm of the sand man.
(Y/N): "I won't die easily..." his nail changed to claws and pierced Crocodile's arm actual hurting him.
Crocodile: "Impossible, you're not dead?" he lets go of (Y/N) and made him fell in the crater, leaving him their while he struggles to get up.
Crocodile: "It looks like that hurts. Bull you'll be put out of your misery soon enough." he laughs at ink man who who sinking in the sand.
Toto has fallen along with Yuba. (Y/N) was devoured by the quicksand. And the crew had to continue on without him. Usopp was telling untrue stories to Chopper who believed him. Sanji was talking over about how Zoro was unfocused making them confused.
Zoro: "Want to say it chef?"
Luffy: "Huh? What are you saying?" he said with curiosity.
Sanji: "You're afraid, that (Y/N) might lose the battle and be dead." the words made Vivi face in shock.
Luffy screamed and ran around in circles and Sanji and Zoro bumped heads wanting to fight. Then Nami came in and bonked the three.
Vivi: "I don't believe it! We promised (Y/N)-san that we'll meet him at Alubarna, didn't we?"
Usopp: "YOU SEEM MORE WORRIED THAN ANY OF US, DON'T YOU?!"
Nami lightly hits Vivi's forehead and told her to worry about the rebellion more than (Y/N).
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) digging out of the sand-
Smoker was going to head to sea, that's where the Navy are heading next to catch the Straw Hats. Smoker said it was up to Tashigi, to decide things when she reaches the next destination. The crew were still on the Moving Crab that was still going to Alubarna. Vivi told them that the crab can't go in the water due to being a land creature making Usopp comment about it.
Usopp: "If we just bitterly swim across this river, as wide as a sea, we're not going to make it in time! Plus! After we cross the river, there's more desert to go across as well! If Pincers can't get go to the other shore, are we supposed to run from there?!"
Nami: "Looks like there's no other choice."
Luffy: "But how are we going to make it? I can't go in the water!"
Sanji noticed the river ahead. Chopper remembered that Pincers loves dancing girls, then Nami put her dancing outfit on making Lashes and Sanji eyes into heart, Pincer sees it and accelerates in lighting speed. The crab hits the water and was running on it, a few seconds later the crab started sinking.
Luffy: "AHHH! IM SINKING!" he screamed but Sanji got him.
Zoro: "We can go on from here." he dawn with Chopper on his head.
Usopp: "Hold up! Wait! Aren't there any boats? How many kilos to the other shore?" Vivi answered fifty kilos making the long nose yell thinking can do that.
Chopper: "THANK YOU! THANK YOU, PINCER!" he casually waves good by to the Moving Crab.
Then later the water erupted showing a giant sea monster. Sandoran catfish.
Vivi: "Sandoran catfish! They're only rarely seen!"
Usopp: "You don't need to explain it." he said when the catfish dove in the water.
Vivi: "ALSO, HUMANS ARE THEY'RE FAVORITE PREY!"
Usopp: "YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT FIRST!" they were now swimming away from the monster until.
It stopped and it's eyes were turning into symbols. The monster was defeated by Kung Fu Dugongs, and Luffy was raising his arms to see them. Now the crew got on top of the catfish and the dugongs were talking again.
Chopper: "They said they won't neglect their seniors pupil."
Luffy: "YA-HOO! It's good to see you guys again!" he started doing punches as they copied.
And just like that, they made it to the other side.
Luffy: "If only we had more camels, we can get there faster."
Nami: "Thats won't work, even with camels there's not enough time to get there."
Usopp: "Plus, there's only one that can carry two of us! And if the Baroque Works is going to attack us, it'll be from here on. Isn't there any way for all of us to act together? Damn, there isn't any, huh?"
The navigator turns her head to the distance where noises where heard. Her eyes wide open to see something approaching, Vivi took a good look and see what it was. It was Karoo and the Supersonic Duck Squadron.
Vivi: "KAROO!" she cried happily.
Luffy: "YA-HOO! Now, let's go!"
Back to Rainbase where (Y/N) is presumed died by Crocodile is the crater that was still there but not active. We see that (Y/N) is digging himself out and had one word to say.
(Y/N): "TEA!" his voice went through the desert hoping somebody could hear.
Crocodile: "We're in different ranks of pirate, you and I. Yuba is going to die."
(Y/N): "C...CROCODILE!" he yells out in pure rage.
He tried to get out but the sand kept coming to bury him alive. Then a person came along and hands pulled (Y/N) out, Nico Robin. She got him out with her Devil Fruit and placed him in front of her.
(Y/N): "You're... Why did you save me...?"
Robin: "Answer my question first. Why do you fight? You're just a simple gentleman."
(Y/N): "I fight... *cough* because I *cough*... care for my friends..."
Robin: "Who is this man? Friends?"
(Y/N): "You got your answer... *cough* Now answer mine..."
Robin: "I'm afraid you won't know because, I won't be here." she grabs his hat out of the sand.
???: "I FOUND YOU!" the voice has been heard.
Pell: "WHERE IS VIVI-SAMA?!" he demanded to know.
Robin: "My. You're awake already?"
Pell: "Now that I've got a handle on your ability, this won't turn out like last time!" he yells as Robin threw the hat on the stomach of the ink man.
Robin: "Don't overexert yourself. You must be seriously injured. *walks away* This works out perfectly. Why don't you save that gentleman?"
Pell turns to see (Y/N) lying on the ground looking dead.
Robin: "He's a devil who acts like an guardian angel, he's the one who delivered your precious princess to this land with some helps of other pirates. Besides, the princess is safe. She's on her way to Alubarna as we talk. But I don't know what will happen to her. The situation is what it is, you know?" she got on the gator and left.
Pell fell on his knees to see that she got away.
Pell: "If I'm no match for her, then just who will be able to protect Vivi-sama?" he said in a deep thought until his arm gets grabbed.
(Y/N): "WE WILL!"
