Chapter 171 title page. A confident blonde man with long hair, a cigarette in his mouth, and a sly wink stands in the foreground wearing a black vest over a white shirt and a light coat draped over his shoulders. A large heart pierced by an arrow explodes behind him with impact lines while a black speech bubble reads “55”. In the background a bustling port scene shows a man in a black cape and wide hat gesturing toward a group of onlookers. At the bottom a caption reads “JANGO’S DANCE PARADISE VOL.36 ‘STOP! LOVE SHOCKED BY HOT FEMALE CAPTAIN!’”.

In Alabasta Capital “Alubarna”, Commander Chaka shouts desperately, sweat flying: “WE’VE ALREADY SEARCHED THE ROYAL SLEEPING QUARTERS, STOREHOUSE, BALCONY, PALACE GROUNDS, AND EVEN THE GARDENS! COM-MANDER CHAKA! THE KING IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!” A large starburst command orders “KEEP SEARCHING FOR HIS HIGHNESS!” as royal guards continue the frantic search across the domed palace rooftops and city streets.

Inside the palace, a guard insists “That’s impossible, sir! The guards stationed outside his room last night reported seeing no such thing!” Another replies “Are you sure his highness didn’t just go for a walk outside late last night!I” while a third states “He must be somewhere!” A long-haired man in a black coat points angrily. The scene shifts to the empty royal bedchamber where an attendant stammers “Umm, well…” as large SFX “はっ んっ!” emphasize the shock. Pell’s face appears: “Pell’s usually the man for these kinds of jobs. But he’s currently busy scouting Rain Base…” The long-haired man commands “THEN TELL ME HOW COULD HE HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM HIS SLEEPING QUARTERS!I I WANT EVERY INCH OF THE PALACE GROUNDS AND THE CITY COMBED THROUGH!” A soldier answers “YES, SIR!”

The long-haired commander continues “THEN TO MOBILIZE THE ARMY ON MY AUTHORITY ALONE WOULD NOT BE SEEN KINDLY…” while muttering “CURSES! WHERE COULD HIS HIGHNESS BE AT THIS CRITICAL TIME…!I” A soldier on a Den Den Mushi reports nervously “Y-yes, but… Apparently, the reports say he…” Another soldier on the balcony spots something and yells “You found him!I” A guard raises his fist shouting “SIR! W-WE FOUND HIS HIGHNESS!” with impact SFX “だだだ バン!!”. The commander’s face fills the final panel, eyes wide in shock as he exclaims “WHATI” while a small “W…” escapes him.

In Katorea, the current base for the rebels, voices shout from the rooftops: "KOUZA! WAIT FOR US TOO!" Kouza, cloaked and fierce, suddenly strikes a man to the ground with a powerful blow, demanding "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!I" A turbaned man stares up in shock and pleads, "Trust in the king, Kouza." Kouza glares down, scarred and furious, retorting "HAVE YOU REALLY SUNK SO LOW, COBRA!I"

A blond man with a scar explains, "That I decided to come here to Yuba and help you, dad. It wasn't for the king's sake." Nearby, another replies, "I personally don't care for him at all....Only the old folks still say that. You should know first-hand just how much the king cares for his subjects..." Townspeople discuss the rebels: "There's been lots of casualties too... Yeah, I heard... Did you hear the rebels now number over 100,000...I" A massive armored figure looms as someone yells "OHHHH!" In the chaos, a warrior roars "DON'T RETREAT!" while another declares "Their doubts will easily be washed away once the rain comes..."

Destroyed irrigation canals leave the town cut off from water as people cry "WHO WOULD'VE DONE SUCH A THING!I" and "NOW THE TOWN'S CUT OFF FROM WATER!" "THIS IS TERRIBLE!" A skull lies in the dust while a man wails "WAHHH!" and another whispers "If only the rain would come..." A critically wounded figure is carried as someone urges "Don't lose faith, Kouza. The rain will come." A blond man with scars states firmly, "I hear Erumalu's a ghost town now."

Cobra insists, "Absolutely not! We must wait for the rain to fall naturally!" The blond man snaps back, "So whether or not you've actually used it in the past, I'm sure you have some to spare! I don't want to doubt you but the fact is, there are people starving out there!" He continues desperately, "If we could just make a little bit of rain... Just a small amount enough to get the people through this drought... Then the rebellion might stop!" Cobra warns, "Dance Powder is prohibited! Its use is prohibited! Dance Powder is a powder that calls forth misfortune." The blond man shouts, "I WON'T STAND BY AND WATCH THE TOWNS DRY UP ONE BY ONE ANYMORE!" Cobra replies gravely, "You're underestimating the dangers of Dance Powder, Kouza... That would only exacerbate the situation." A crowd pleads, "GIVE US OUR RAIN BACK, KING COBRA!" as someone slumps with "SLUMP..."

A cloaked figure clenches a fist tightly, declaring, "No, I've changed...!" and "I can fight now!" Opposite him, a stern man in a black coat seated on a throne-like chair replies, "You haven't changed at all, have you..." Close-ups reveal two furious faces glaring with intense eyes; one shouts, "JUST YOU WATCH! I'LL COME BACK TO STEAL YOUR RAIN!" A small figure dashes away amid heavy "ドドドッ" impact sounds. The cloaked man, now visibly enraged with sweat flying, demands, "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A POINTLESS THING...!I"

In Port Town Nanohana, citizens react with shock as "W-what..." and "What's the meaning of this, your highness...I" A tall bearded man in ornate robes stands tall and declares, "It was I who stole rain from my people!" and "I've come to make a sincere apology!" Guards flank him. A close-up shows a soldier's face as text states, "The port of Nanohana shall be destroyed." The bearded man continues addressing the crowd while bystanders question, "Your highness..." and "I-is this a joke, your highness...I" Another voice adds, "As such, in order to put the sordid Dance Powder Incident behind us."

A soldier bows low and shouts, "YES, SIR!" while a large figure in the foreground yells, "BURN DOWN THIS CITY, WHICH STANDS ONLY AS A REMINDER OF CORRUPT INJUSTICE!" Townspeople flee in panic amid smoke and flames as "キャ" and "カ」 sound effects fill the air. In the next scene, the bearded man in black coat stands with guards; an off-panel voice calls, "OVER HERE, KING!" A small "!" reaction bubble appears near him.

The bearded man in black coat glares silently with "......" A small hooded figure swings a massive hammer, yelling, "THAT MY TOWN'S ALL DRIED UP! IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU," amid "ドン" and "ガ」 impact sounds. Chaos erupts as the hooded attacker is struck and sent flying with "!!I" and "ハッ" effects; the man in black coat is knocked back. A final close-up shows the bearded man's intense glare with "ゴオオオ..." sound effects and "......" as he processes the attack.

A woman clutches a terrified child and screams at the rider, “No, stop! It’s too dangerous for you, little boy!” while another voice snarls, “I’LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY TOWNS-PEOPLE!” The black horse rears violently in the square, its rider’s white cloak billowing as the crowd stares. Towering letters spell “KOUZA!” across the buildings. In a tight close-up, a sweat-drenched man with sunglasses and a scar glares forward, muttering, “Do you think you’re doing…” and “Just what the hell…”

Two cloaked men face each other in the square. One declares, “I’ve come to apologize.” The other roars, “SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!” and “THIS IS AN INSULT!” A furious close-up of the sunglasses man bellows, “I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!!” while another figure admits, “Was me. The man responsible for using dance powder and causing the current drought.” Onlookers gasp, “King Cobra…!I” The confrontation explodes into violence as weapons clash and someone yells, “YOU SON OF A-”

The sunglasses-wearing man rages, “THEY WEREN’T ANGRY NOR DID THEY RESENT YOU! THEY ALL DIED BELIEVING IN YOU TO THE VERY END!” and “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA… ANY IDEA AT ALL, HOW THE PEOPLE OF DRIED UP TOWNS FELT AS THEY DIED!I” He continues, “YOU’D BE DEFILING THE MEMORY OF ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO DIED BELIEVING YOU!” A calm bystander replies, “It’s not the King’s fault…” “The King is a wonderful man…” A gun is suddenly aimed at the speaker.

Kouza is hurled from his rearing horse as the crowd shouts “KOUZA!” and “LEADER!” He crashes down with a heavy “SLUMP.” The sunglasses man, bloodied and pinned, growls, “THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR ALL ALONG! THE ENTIRE COUNTRY… EVEN US REBELS… WE’VE ALL WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU’RE INNOCENT…” Another man grins and declares, “I’d call that a wrap!” and “Weeeeellp!”

A massive pirate ship hurtles through the air toward the port town. Townspeople look up in terror as someone shouts, "WATCH OUT! A HUGE SHIP'S ABOUT TO CRASH INTO PORT!" Another voice replies, "THAT'S WHAT I'VE WANTED TO HEAR... OR AT THE VERY LEAST." The vessel smashes into buildings with a thunderous "ドゴォオ!!!" sending debris flying. Panicked citizens scream "WHAT'S GOING ON!I" and "GET AWAY!" as the wreckage tumbles down. In the streets below, a turbaned man yells "THE SHIP'S COMING DOWN!" while others cry "AGHHH!" amid the collapsing structures and swirling dust.

The chaos intensifies as the ship tears through the town. A tall man in a long coat strides forward while a curly-haired woman swings a weapon with a "SWING" sound. Screams of "AGHH!" and "AHHH!" echo as debris rains down. Large onomatopoeia "ゴォオオオオ" and "どん!!" emphasize the destruction. In a quieter panel, a bald man asks, "Was there ever any mission that we didn't find easyI" A dark-haired woman replies with a slight smile, "This is quite a tame task for a final mission..."

A man with a pipe mutters, "I just can't calm down unless I have this on," while lighting it with a "FWIP." Nearby, a panicked figure yells "IT'S TIME TO SKEDADDLE!" and another responds "YES, SIR!" with "GAAHAHA!" A man in a decorated coat and hat declares, "THE ROYAL GUARDS HAVE DISAPPEARED!" as soldiers shout "HANG IN THERE!" and "KOUZA!" In a dramatic splash, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei poses triumphantly and laughs "GAAHA HAHA HAHA!" asking, "What'd ya all think of my 'Kingly' performanceI" A fish-man replies, "It was the best, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei!"

Chapter 171 summary

In Alubarna, guards frantically search the palace for the missing King Cobra while Commander Chaka demands they comb every inch of the grounds and city. Chaka worries about mobilizing the army without the king and receives shocking news about his whereabouts. In Katorea, rebel leader Kouza rides furiously into the desert, recalling his past arguments with Cobra over Dance Powder and the king's refusal to use it during the drought. In Nanohana, a man disguised as King Cobra publicly apologizes for stealing rain, then orders his fake guards to burn the town and kicks a boy who confronts him. Kouza arrives on horseback, denounces the impostor for insulting the real king's memory, and charges with his sword while the crowd watches in confusion. The fake king has Kouza shot, leaving him bleeding on the ground as he declares the performance a wrap. A massive ship crashes into the port, and the impostor reverts to his true form as Mr. 2 Bon Kurei before dancing away with his men.
