A narration box states, "The rebel force is apparently mounting a full-scale attack on the capital! The rebellion's leader Kouza was shot! To think the King and the Royal Guards would dare to come out like that..." Meanwhile, the Royal Army mobilizes, riding out on horses and giant spot-billed ducks. Soldiers shout, "LET US TAKE THE KING'S HEAD! DOWN WITH THE KING AND ALUBARNA! ALL SOLDIERS PREPARE FOR BATTLE! YES, SIR!" The scene then cuts to the Rain Dinners casino in Rainbase, where Crocodile's sinister laughter echoes from within: "KUHAHAHA! HAHAHA!"

Inside the cage, Nami, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro glare at him with intense anger and frustration. Crocodile continues, "Baroque Works' grand plan in which even you participated in has now reached its finale... If you listen carefully, you can almost hear Alabasta's death throes! And the masterstroke is how those tearing Alabasta apart, Are sincerely thinking of protecting Alabasta!" Nearby, the real King Cobra is chained to the wall. He screams in despair, "WE WILL DEFEND ALABASTA! WE WILL DEFEND ALABASTA! STOP THIS MADNESS! NOOO!"
