Chapter 181 summary
The Rebel Army marches across the desert toward Alubarna under Kouza's command, with the capital now visible in the distance. Inside the city, Chaka orders the Royal Guards to fortify all gates and prevent any rebels from entering. Outside the walls, the Baroque Works agents spot six cloaked riders on Super Spot-Billed Ducks approaching from the west and realize the group has split to head for separate gates. The agents divide to pursue the pairs, with Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger chasing two toward the western gate, Mr. 2 following another pair, and Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 pursuing the rest. The riders reach the gates, where the guards recognize them as the Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad and allow them inside. Once within the city, the cloaked figures reveal themselves as Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Matsuge, and Nami, leaving the agents surprised. Vivi rides alone on Karoo toward the southern gate, urging the duck to hurry as the rebels draw near.
