Chapter 131 – Finally Crocodile
I gathered the girls on the deck as our ship approached the busy docks of Nanohana. The endless golden sands of Alabasta lay before us, with heat rising in waves from the horizon.
"Everyone, get ready," I said. "We're docking soon. Stay alert—this place is full of Baroque Works agents, and Crocodile has eyes everywhere."
A few hours later, the ship slid gently into port. The air felt dry and scorching, thick with the smells of spices, salt, and sun-heated stone. Once we tied off, I gave Vivi a nod.
"Vivi, you mentioned handling disguises. Grab the spare clothes from the tailor's stash."
She went below deck and came back quickly with a large canvas bag. Inside were loose, flowing desert robes in soft tans and whites—long sleeves, deep hoods, and head scarves to protect against the merciless sun. They were ideal for blending in with the locals.
"Girls, change into these," I told them while lifting one of the outfits. "Our usual clothes will draw too much attention here, and they're no good in the desert anyway."
Kuina looked into the bag and frowned right away. She pulled out a skimpy set of golden dancer's silks—a belly-baring top, sheer harem pants, and belts that jingled with coins.
"Then why the hell are there belly dancer outfits in here?" she asked. There was clear irritation in her voice. "I'm not wearing something this slutty."
I cleared my throat. But I was smirking a little.
"They're just... optional extras. You can layer them under the desert robes if you like. Or, you know, let me see how they look on you before you cover up. I won't mind at all."
Kuina gave me a deadly glare as if she was going to kill a pervert, but Vivi was already moving. She grabbed her own set of dancer silks and robes and headed to a cabin to change. The others followed, vanishing into their rooms to switch outfits.
When they stepped back out, Vivi emerged first while wearing only the dancer clothes. The thin blue fabric clung to her, barely covering her breasts and the lines of her pussy, but it made her look even more irresistibly sexy, every curve highlighted perfectly. She was looking like a slutty dancer.
"You look incredibly sexy," I said softly. "Please show me more of this in private later~"
Vivi blushed deeply at my words. When I mentioned "showing in private," something lewd seemed to flash through her mind, and she started getting aroused. I could even see the faint wetness appearing under the sheer material between her thighs.
"Let's keep this straightforward," I continued before pulling my focus back to the mission. "We head to Yuba first—gather information, try to stop the rebel army before they march on the capital. Then we go to Rainbase, find Crocodile, beat him senseless, and save Alabasta. No unnecessary side trips."
The girls nodded, and Lily looked especially pleased that the plan stayed so direct.
"Yosh!! Let's beat Crocodile!!"
We started moving, but I stopped them with one last thing.
"Wait. One more thing."
They turned to me as they were puzzled as to why I stopped them.
"I want each of you to make a small X mark on your upper arm—use charcoal, ink, anything. Then cover it with a strip of cloth or a bandage. Keep it hidden from view."
Confusion spread across their faces until I explained.
"There's an agent, Mr. 2 Bon Clay. He ate the Clone Clone Fruit. If he touches someone with his right hand, he can copy their face, body, voice—everything—perfectly. I can detect fakes with Observation Haki, but if he catches one of you off guard and impersonates me or another crew member... things could go very wrong."
Vivi was first to be shocked. "So that is why I found many royal guards and even ministers behaving abnormally. I thought it was weird, but it seems it was Mr. 2 in disguise."
The girls exchanged looks, then nodded silently. One by one, they drew quick X marks on their arms and wrapped them with cloth scraps.
After that, we set off toward Yuba to track down the rebels.
A few exhausting hours of walking through burning sand later, we reached the outskirts of Yuba. I spread my Observation Haki over the area, searching for any sign of the rebel camp.
And I found... nothing. No large gatherings, no banners waving, no traces of an army preparing to move.
'Damn. It had been years since I watched the Alabasta arc. Of course I'd forgotten—they moved their headquarters after the early parts. Somewhere completely different.'
We spent a couple more hours combing through ruins and asking careful questions, but we came up empty-handed.
I wasn't too concerned. Even if the rebel army marched on the capital tomorrow, I could drop them all with a single burst of Conqueror's Haki. There will be no fighting like in manga.
I could have admitted my mistake right then, but I didn't want to look like an idiot. Instead, I put on my most confident expression.
"My information was outdated. The rebels are smarter and harder to pin down than I expected. We've lost their trail for now. Let's change course—head straight to Rainbase, take down Crocodile, and handle the army afterward."
"Yeah! Let's go kick Crocodile's ass!" Lily pumped her fist while grinning widely. She clearly had no interest in the rebel politics; she just wanted a good fight.
Kuina nodded sharply. "Finally. I need someone worth crossing blades with."
Nami sighed. "As long as I don't have to fight..."
Vivi looked the most troubled. Her hands clenched tightly at her sides. If the rebels attacked and she couldn't stop them, thousands of innocent people could die. The fear was plain on her face.
I stepped closer and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Vivi, don't worry. I'll protect your kingdom and your people. Your father—"
When I mentioned her father, she looked confused.
"My father? He died when I was a child from illness. My mother, Nefertari Titi, has ruled alone since then."
'Right. Different timeline, different details. King Cobra was already gone. No NTR scenarios with the royal couple after all.'
A small wave of disappointment hit me, but I pushed it aside.
I took her hand and squeezed it firmly. "Then I'll save your mother. And Alabasta. You have my word."
She gave a small, grateful nod. But there was still worry in her eyes.
We began the long walk toward Rainbase. After several more hours, we neared its borders.
Suddenly, a massive tornado of golden sand rose in the distance and started rushing straight toward us.
"Isn't that thing way too big?" Nami shivered in fear. Then she steps behind me for protection.
Kaya also backed up instinctively too. "It feels like it's pulling me in..."
Vivi clung to a nearby boulder. "Sandstorms happen here, but I've never seen a tornado this enormous."
"Don't worry," I said calmly. "I've got this."
I planted my feet firmly. I drew my sword and unleashed a series of flying slashes—sharp crescent arcs of compressed air that cut directly into the swirling vortex.
The tornado tore apart instantly. Sand rained down harmlessly as the whole thing collapsed.
With the danger gone, I swept my Observation Haki outward again. In the distance, I spotted them: Crocodile and his top Baroque Works officers—Mr. 1, Mr. 2, Mr. 3, and a few stronger pirates. No sign of Nico Robin, though.
'Looks like she doesn't want to fight. Fine by me. I will deal with her later'
I turned to the girls with a grin.
"Change of plans—we don't have to hunt Crocodile down. He came right to us. Pick your opponents and take them apart. When it's over, we'll deal with the rebel army."
Lily cracked her knuckles. "I'm taking Crocodile! I'm going to kick his ass!"
Kuina drew her sword smoothly. "I hope one of them knows how to use a blade. I need a real challenge."
Nami edged closer to me. "Alex... maybe I should stay with you?"
I laughed. "Go on, girls. Kick some ass!"
This wasn't the canon setup—no rebels, no bombs, no palace siege—but Crocodile coming straight to us? Even better. No games, no delays. Just a straight-up fight.
And it seemed tonight I was going to have some fun with Vivi—maybe with the queen too, if the chance came up. In a few days, there might even be some threesome action.
But before that, let's kill the Crocodile.
I didn't even care if this Crocodile turned out to be Luffy's mother or whatever. I drew my sword and faced the opponents.
"Girls! Let's end this!"
