The guard yells, "IS THIS HOW THE ROYALIST SCUMS FIGHT!?" while a rebel shouts back, "SURRENDER, MY ASS!" Vivi, watching from the palace, screams in desperation, "NO!" She pleads with the warring factions below, her voice cracking, "EVERYONE, PLEASE! YOU HAVE TO STOP FIGHTING!" "PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" Crocodile glares menacingly, his face shadowed as he watches her futile efforts. Vivi turns to him, demanding, "HOW LOW ARE YOU WILLING TO SINK TO!?" The city's clock tower is shown, ticking ominously, "tic toc tic...". A royal guard commander, ignoring Vivi's pleas, orders his men, "RETURN FIRE, GUARDS!" Crocodile taunts Vivi, stating coldly, "THIS ENTIRE WAR IS..." while Vivi desperately yells, "STOP!", realizing that the slaughter is exactly what he wants. Page 8: A massive double-page spread captures the sheer scale and chaos of the battle unfolding in the Alubarna palace square. The air is thick with swirling dust and sand, obscuring the towering domed buildings in the background. Below, thousands of royal guards and rebel fighters clash violently. Men on horseback charge through the crowds, while foot soldiers swing swords, spears, and axes at each other. The deafening roar of combat fills the air with shouts of "WAAAAAAH!!" and the sharp "CLASH!!" of weapons striking. The two massive armies tear into each other with brutal intensity, completely oblivious to the fact that they are being manipulated into destroying their own country. Page 9: The battle rages on fiercely in front of the Alubarna palace, the roars of the fighters echoing through the air with shouts of "UOOOOO" and "WAAAAAH...". Vivi stands on the palace wall, clutching her head in despair, tears streaming down her face as she begs, "Please stop..." She looks back over her shoulder at the massive sandstorm raging below, realizing her voice cannot reach them. Crocodile looks down at the battlefield with a smug expression, remarking, "SO THIS IS AS FAR AS WE CAN GET...!?" Miss All Sunday stands calmly behind him, looking at the devastated princess. She tells Vivi, "You've fought well, Princess..." "But your voice won't reach them now...", confirming that the war has passed the point of no return. Page 10: Chaka, heavily injured and bleeding, yells desperately at Vivi, "GET AWAY FROM THAT MAN!" "RUN AWAY, VIVI!" Crocodile calmly smokes his cigar, completely unfazed by the guard's outburst. Vivi glares at Crocodile, realizing the extent of his manipulation. "The dust clouds... They're your doing." "NO!" Chaka lies defeated on the ground behind Crocodile, unable to protect her. Crocodile mocks Vivi's earlier hopes, quoting her naive plans: "'I can stop the rebellion if I do this...'" "'I can stop it if I do that...'" Vivi stands her ground, refusing to give up, declaring, "I CAN STILL SAVE LIVES!" "But as long as I stop that explosion 15 minutes from now," she says, determined to prevent the bomb from destroying the square.
