Chapter 174 summary
Crocodile speaks with a voice on the Den Den Mushi that identifies itself as Mr. Prince while the Straw Hats remain trapped in the seastone cage with Smoker. Usopp and Nami recognize the voice as Sanji's, and Vivi realizes both Sanji and Chopper remain free outside. Sanji's call ends in apparent violence, after which Crocodile heads to the casino entrance only to find the room flooding and a Bananagator attacking. Vivi attempts to escape for help but Crocodile uses his sand powers to drag her back, then seals the doors as the water rises. Outside, Crocodile learns that Mr. Prince has defeated the Baroque Works agents and races south through Rainbase in pursuit. The bridge to the casino collapses, trapping the crowd inside, while Vivi reaches the floor and finds Sanji waiting at a desk. Sanji explains that Chopper serves as the decoy and tells Vivi to lead the way so they can stop the rebellion.
