Crocodile smirks and replies, "Hahaha! Doesn't that bring a tear to your eye? Their love for their country, Is what will bring it to its destruction!" Inside the cage, Luffy furiously bites the bars, yelling, "DAMN IT! IF IT WEREN'T FOR THIS CAGE, I'D..." Crocodile ignores him and reminisces about his long-term plan. "Haha... Looking back, I've had to do so many things to get to where I am today... I had to recruit hundreds of members and have them hunt bounties so that I could raise enough money to buy silver, the key ingredient in manufacturing Dance Powder... Secretly sabotage irrigation canals, Teach men how to act the part of a Royal Guard, And slowly build up the citizens' trust in me as their faith in their King whittled away..." Page 16: Crocodile continues his monologue, asking, "Do you know why I've put myself through all this trouble and try to take over your country, Ms. Wednesday...?" Inside the cage, Smoker sits quietly, looking annoyed, while Robin stands nearby. Crocodile suddenly yells, "What an ill-mannered princess you are... HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THAT WARPED HEAD OF YOURS!?" He notices Vivi, who is crawling on the floor outside the cage, struggling to move. "Hm? What do you think you're doing, Ms. Wednesday?" Vivi pushes herself up, her face bruised but determined. "I'LL STOP YOUR PLANS! I CAN STILL MAKE IT! IF I HEAD EAST RIGHT NOW..." Luffy and the others watch her from inside the cage as she declares her intent to stop the rebellion.
