Luffy, Crocodile, Roronoa Zoro, Pell, Vivi, Igaram ### Summary Page 8: Luffy glares fiercely at his opponent. Crocodile swings his massive golden hook, declaring, "AND THE BETTER YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LEVEL IN THIS SEA, THE HAZIER SUCH DREAMS WILL BECOME!" He lunges forward, bringing the hook down in a deadly strike. However, Luffy swiftly dodges the attack and counters by kicking the side of Crocodile's hook with his foot, deflecting the blow. Crocodile looks surprised by the parry. Luffy, his face covered in blood but his eyes burning with determination, yells, "I AM... THE MAN WHO WILL SURPASS YOU...!" Page 9: Back in the city, Zoro looks up at the sky, noticing something. "It's that bird-guy... Did you see that just now..." A flashback begins, showing a young Vivi and Pell standing in a stone corridor. Pell says, "This place brings back many memories, doesn't it? This secret base for your Sand Sand Gang... PELL, LISTEN!...Your wild reckless behaviours back then, Had me throwing up my hands in frustration more times than I could count..." The memory shifts to an explosion in a gunpowder storage room. Igaram yells, "DON'T WE TELL YOU EVERY DAY TO NEVER COME NEAR THE GUNPOWDER STORAGE!?" Young Vivi is seen coughing in the smoke. Igaram panics, "WHAT WAS THAT EXPLOSION JUST NOW!? AHH! PRINCESS VIVI!?" Pell rushes in, asking, "W-WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE GUNPOWDER STORAGE!? VIVI!" In the present, Pell stands before the massive bomb in the clock tower, realizing the danger. "THE BOMB IS ON A TIMER! IT'S SET TO GO OFF ANY MOMENT NOW!" Page 10: The flashback continues. Young Vivi, covered in soot and crying, tries to explain herself. "Heehee... I wanted to try making some fireworks but I guess I messed up. I wanted some fireworks since today's the anniversary for when you joined the royal guards..." Pell looks shocked by her reasoning. Suddenly, Pell slaps Vivi across the face. Igaram and the other guards scream in horror. "H-HE HIT THE PRINCESS!" "AGHHHHH!" Pell, tears in his eyes, yells furiously at the young princess, "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU... TO NEVER COME NEAR THIS PLACE!"
