The chapter title is "Chapter 200 'Water Luffy'". The cover story panel shows Hachi holding out a map with a takoyaki drawing on it. Macro, a fish-man, is holding up a shocked Camie the mermaid and Pappag the starfish. Macro is laughing while a large speech bubble screams "NO~!!". The caption reads "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 16 'CAMIE SURPRISED! THE MERMAID IS TRADED FOR A TAKOYAKI MAP.'" Page 1: The clock tower in the palace square ticks down the time, showing ten minutes remaining. A heavily bandaged Usopp, wearing his goggles, looks shocked and yells, asking how they are supposed to find the one shooting the bomb. Vivi, looking distressed and sweating, reasons that if the bomb has a blast radius of 5 kilometers, the shooter might be aiming from a place at least 2.5 kilometers away, rather than close to the square. Nami points out urgently that there's no time to think since the bomb will go off in just 10 minutes. A wide shot shows the chaotic battle raging in the palace square below, with crowds of people fighting. Chopper is horrified, realizing that Crocodile doesn't care if his own agents die in the blast. Nami grimly notes that's just the kind of person Crocodile is. Usopp yells in confusion, wondering why Crocodile would do this since he'd only get caught up in the explosion himself. Page 2: Zoro, his swords drawn and looking serious, says they should hurry up. Pell looks down in surprise. Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, mutters, "Some boss he is...!" Zoro and Sanji charge into the fray, fighting off the Baroque Works agents while Vivi stands behind them. Zoro slashes with his swords and Sanji delivers powerful kicks, clearing a path. Usopp yells out in the background. Several Baroque Works agents are struck down, one falling backward with blood spurting from his mouth, his shirt clearly bearing the letters "B.W." Page 3: A large group of Baroque Works agents, known as the Billions, cheer as they spot Vivi. They yell out, "Found ya, princess!" and "I wonder how high I'll be promoted once I kill you!" and "It's the Billions!" Zoro and Sanji stand side-by-side, ready for battle. Zoro, with a sword in his mouth, states they don't have time to waste by talking. Sanji, smoking his cigarette, calculates, "10 minutes minus... How many seconds?" A dramatic close-up on Zoro and Sanji's intense eyes reveals their confident answer: "2 SECONDS." Page 4: Nami, Usopp, and Chopper run away from the approaching Billions. Nami yells that they will go on ahead, while Usopp suggests splitting up but first needing to get out of the dust cloud. The Billions charge forward with battle cries of "ORAA!" and "GYAAA!" Vivi, looking determined, realizes this is the very last time limit. Zoro and Sanji engage the enemy, agreeing to get going too. Vivi sprints forward, thinking of the 10 minutes remaining, dedicating her desperate run "FOR THIS COUNTRY!" Page 5: The clock tower looms large, with narration stating that these 10 minutes will decide the country's fate. At the top of the palace stairs, Crocodile stands before the large, ornate doors, laughing menacingly with a "HAHAHA!" Luffy stands opposite him, looking determined and agreeing with a simple "'Course." Crocodile looks down at Luffy with a sinister grin, his hook gleaming, and asks, "YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME...!?" Page 6: Crocodile commends Luffy on his escape from death's door but insists there is still an insurmountable gap between them, declaring himself to be on the level of a Shichibukai. Luffy yells back angrily, his mouth wide open, "So what if you're a Shichibukai!? If that's how it is, I'll just be a Hachibukai!" Crocodile stares back in silence, seemingly unamused by Luffy's wordplay, the wind blowing past them. Page 7: Crocodile recalls past events, asking who the man is and noting he's a pirate who has saved the princess yet again. Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin) smiles knowingly, chuckling "Fufu..." Crocodile realizes Luffy is the one who escorted Vivi safely back to Alabasta. Without hesitation, Luffy stretches his arm back and launches a powerful "GOMU GOMU... PISTOL!" straight at Crocodile's face. Page 8: Crocodile easily dodges the punch by turning his upper body into sand, stating it's a simple dodge and that Luffy's attacks are meaningless whether wet or not. He then grabs Luffy's outstretched arm, his hand glowing as he declares, "THE PALM OF MY HAND CAN ABSORB ALL MOISTURE...!" Luffy looks panicked and pulls his arm back, realizing his mistake: "CRAP! I FORGOT YOU HAD THAT ABILITY!" Page 9: Luffy attempts a kick to Crocodile's head, but it simply passes through as Crocodile's head turns to sand. Crocodile then grabs Luffy's leg, draining the moisture from it. Luffy groans as his leg shrivels up and droops. Howe...
