## One Piece Chapter 167, pages 22-23: The War Front - Chapter: 167 - Pages: 22-23 - Characters: Nefertari Cobra, Pell, Chaka ### Summary Page 22: Cobra responds calmly, "So what if the rebels take the palace...!?" Chaka and Pell are stunned. Cobra explains, "Haven't I told you already that the country is its people!? EVEN IF THE ROYAL ARMY WERE TO BE DEFEATED, AS LONG AS CROCODILE IS TAKEN OUT, THE COUNTRY WILL BE REBUILT BY THE HANDS OF ITS PEOPLE! BUT IF WE INSTEAD HAVE OUR ARMY FIGHT THE REBEL FORCES, THE ONLY ONE LAUGHING AT THE END WILL BE CROCODILE!" Pell says softly, "Your majesty..." Chaka apologizes, "Forgive our short-sightedness..." Cobra concludes, "It does not matter even if stopping the rebels is impossible... Our only target is Crocodile!" Page 23: Cobra warns, "Our enemy is a member of the Royal Shichibukai...! This will be no easy battle... It won't be one that can be won without sacrifices!" Chaka and Pell salute him. Chaka thinks, "WE'VE UNDERESTIMATED OUR MAJESTY'S FORESIGHT... WHAT SHEER FORCE OF WILL!" Cobra issues his orders, "Chaka! Call all officers for an emergency battle meeting! Pell, you are to go ahead and scout the enemy base." Pell responds, "YES, SIR!" Cobra declares, "FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING, SEND ALL TROOPS TO RAINBASE!"
