Chapter 204 summary
The ruins underground shake violently as Luffy runs to avoid falling debris. On the surface in Alubarna, a flare rises from the city and Vivi races toward the clock tower while Sanji and Usopp react to the signal. Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day open fire from the tower, but Sanji kicks Mr. 7 and allows Vivi to escape toward the entrance. Deep below, Luffy faces Crocodile amid the rubble, with Nico Robin and King Cobra injured nearby. Luffy declares he has come to take back the country, then leaps into an attack that lands a solid kick on Crocodile using his own blood to counter the sand. Crocodile laughs and readies his poison hook as the ruins continue to collapse. On the surface, Marines clash with Baroque Works agents while Tashigi directs Zoro and promises to back up Usopp and Vivi as they head to stop the bomb.
