Chapter 212 summary
At sea north of Alabasta, Smoker and Hina discuss the search for the Straw Hats aboard a Marine ship while rain falls. Hina wins a coin toss and claims the Baroque Works rain ship for return to headquarters. In the rain-soaked streets of Alubarna, Tashigi orders her Marines not to touch the unconscious Straw Hat crew. Vivi speaks with the injured Kohza as rain begins to fall across the kingdom, ending the long drought and sparking widespread celebration among citizens, rebels, and even Toto in Yuba. The Straw Hats rest in the royal palace while Vivi and Igaram watch the rain and remember Pell. The next day at the port of Tamarisque, Tashigi reports back to Smoker and Hina, confesses to aiding the pirates, and receives encouragement from Smoker to grow stronger. Smoker then receives a call from Marine headquarters awarding medals and promotions to him and Tashigi for defeating Crocodile, but he rejects the credit and tells the upper brass to eat shit before hanging up.
