## One Piece Chapter 155, pages 7-9: The Pirate Sir Crocodile - Chapter: 155 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Crocodile, pirates, townspeople, Nefertari Cobra, royal guards ### Summary Page 7: Crocodile unleashes his power, transforming the lower half of his body into a massive, swirling sandstorm. The powerful vortex of sand violently blows the attacking pirates away, sending them flying through the air along with debris. Crocodile stands tall in the center of the storm, his golden hook raised high. The defeated pirates are left buried in the sand or scattered across the ground. Crocodile looks down at them and coldly states, "WE MAY BE BOTH PIRATES, BUT WE'RE CUT FROM DIFFERENT CLOTHS, SWINE." The sheer difference in their strength is evident as Crocodile effortlessly neutralizes the entire crew. Page 8: The sandstorm settles, and the townspeople of Nanohana peek out from behind the dunes of sand, amazed by the display of power. Seeing the pirates defeated, they erupt into cheers once again, shouting "CROCODILE!" and "CROCODILE!". Crocodile turns and walks away from the scene, casually carrying a large sack over his shoulder. His dark coat billows behind him as he strides through the desert landscape just outside the town. The citizens continue to cheer wildly for their protector, their voices echoing as Crocodile departs, leaving the incapacitated pirates behind. Page 9: The scene shifts to the capital city. A location box reads: "ALABASTA KINGDOM 'ALUBARNA PALACE'". The panel shows the grand, ornate exterior of the palace with its large domes and intricate architecture. Inside the throne room, King Nefertari Cobra, a man with dark hair and a distinctive beard, sits on his throne. A royal guard reports to him, "BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED AT NANOHANA, THE PIRATE ATTACK WAS ALREADY...". Cobra interrupts, "HE BEAT US TO THE ATTACK AGAIN?". Cobra looks thoughtful and says, "I SEE... AS LONG AS THE CITIZENS ARE OKAY, I SUPPOSE IT'S FINE...". A close-up of Cobra's face shows a complex expression as he adds, "THIS COUNTRY, IS INDEBTED TO HIS SERVICE...". An introductory box identifies him: "KING OF ALABASTA NEFERTARI COBRA".
