## One Piece Chapter 187, pages 23-24: Even Match - Chapter: 187 - Pages: 23-24 - Characters: Chaka, Nefertari Vivi, royal guards ### Summary Page 23: The scene shifts to the Alubarna Palace. Chaka, the commander of the royal guards, is visibly shocked, yelling, "ARE YOU SERIOUS, PRINCESS!? IF WE DID THAT, THEN...". Outside the palace, royal guards are murmuring in surprise, "Princess Vivi!" "You're right! The princess really is back!" "But why now of all times...!?". Vivi stands resolute, sweat on her face, and tells Chaka, "This palace is not Alabasta. You're mistaken." Chaka questions her, "Yes? Then what? Then Alabasta will come to an end?" Page 24: Chaka argues passionately, "The Kingdom of Alabasta is its people, fighting each other as we speak! It is their very existence which allows Alabasta to be a kingdom, not the other way around! If we could just stop the fighting for even a few seconds...!" Vivi interrupts him, her expression determined, "Just a few seconds to draw everyone's attention... That's all I need! Just leave what comes after to me!" She looks out over the palace and shouts with all her might, "PLEASE DESTROY THE PALACE! SO PLEASE!"
