Luffy, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 180, "Alabastan Animal Land," features an illustration of Nami and Tony Tony Chopper taking a break from mining. Nami stands tall, wiping sweat from her forehead with a gloved hand, wearing a cropped t-shirt with "GOLD" printed on it and loose pants with suspenders. She holds a pickaxe in her other hand. Beside her, Chopper is depicted in two forms simultaneously. In his Brain Point form, he wears a black hard hat with "GOLD" on it and overalls, washing his hands in a small basin. In his Walk Point form, he carries a pickaxe over his shoulder, also wearing a hard hat. They are standing on a wooden dock by a body of water, with a small building labeled "GOLD" and industrial structures in the background. Page 1: A fierce sandstorm blows across the desert landscape, obscuring the buildings of a distant city, likely Rainbase. The wind howls with a loud "GOOOOOO..." sound. In the foreground, Crocodile's golden hook rests buried in the shifting sands. Crocodile looks down with a sinister grin, stating, "Yuba will die." Below him, Luffy is shown buried up to his neck in the sand, his eyes closed and face battered, struggling to breathe. Crocodile continues his taunt, "You and I are pirates in completely different leagues..." Luffy gasps for air, letting out weak grunts of "NGH-...UGH!" and "HUFF HUFF" as he tries to free himself from the suffocating sand. Page 2: Luffy continues to sink deeper into the treacherous sand, his face barely visible as the shifting grains pull him under with a heavy "ZUU... ZUU" sound. He lets out a muffled, desperate "...MFFT!" as the sand covers his mouth. Suddenly, a slender hand reaches down and firmly grabs him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him upward. Luffy gasps, "GUH...!?" as he is unexpectedly yanked from the deadly sand trap. A tall, mysterious figure wearing a long coat and boots stands calmly in the desert, looking out towards the distant city skyline. The figure effortlessly pulls Luffy completely out of the sand. Luffy falls back onto the solid ground, coughing violently and wheezing for air with a loud "COUGH!!", completely shocked by his sudden rescue.
