Are you talking about that shriveled up grandpa!?' Crocodile stops and looks back over his shoulder, 'Oh? Do you know him?' Crocodile continues, 'Even though his oasis has dried up long since, He stubbornly continues to dig, day after day... Hahaha... Doesn't it just make you laugh? The fool won't give up no matter how many sandstorms come his way...' Luffy looks furious, his teeth gritted, and yells, 'WHAT WAS THAT!?' Crocodile says, 'Let me ask you one thing, Straw-Hat Luffy...' Page 8: Crocodile smirks and asks, 'How likely do you think sandstorms would continue to hit the same spot over and over again...?' Luffy stares in shock, sweat forming on his face. Vivi looks up, horrified, and stammers, 'W-what do you mean by that!? Don't tell me he...' Crocodile grins widely as his upper body begins to turn into swirling sand with a 'WHRRR!' sound. Page 9: Luffy's face is contorted in absolute rage as he realizes the truth. He screams, 'IT WAS YOU...!?' Vivi looks devastated, tears welling in her eyes as she remembers the old man in Yuba saying, 'Yuba will never be defeated by mere sand...' She mutters, 'YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS...' Crocodile's face is shown fully formed from sand, mocking them, 'It's me! Can't you recognize me!? Well, I guess I can't blame you since I lost a few.' Crocodile and Miss All Sunday walk out the door, Crocodile laughing loudly, 'HAHA HAHA HAHA! HAHA!'
