## One Piece Chapter 167, pages 21-22: The War Front - Chapter: 167 - Pages: 21-22 - Characters: Nefertari Cobra, Pell, Chaka ### Summary Page 21: Cobra stands up, looking fierce. "WE CANNOT ALLOW VIVI'S DETERMINATION AND IGARAM'S SACRIFICE GO TO WASTE! ATTACK CROCODILE AT RAINBASE IMMEDIATELY!" Pell tries to stop him, "Please hold on a moment, your majesty! It's quite the distance from here to Rainbase. Crocodile will easily know we're coming and should he wish to, he can simply avoid a fight. Moreover, Crocodile has the support of the people behind him! EVEN MORESO THAN YOUR MAJESTY RIGHT NOW, I'M AFRAID!" Chaka adds, "If we move in to attack Crocodile now, That would be pouring oil on fire! The rebels will no doubt use the opportunity to capture the Royal Palace, While our armies attack Rainbase...!" Page 22: Cobra responds calmly, "So what if the rebels take the palace...!?" Chaka and Pell are stunned. Cobra explains, "Haven't I told you already that the country is its people!? EVEN IF THE ROYAL ARMY WERE TO BE DEFEATED, AS LONG AS CROCODILE IS TAKEN OUT, THE COUNTRY WILL BE REBUILT BY THE HANDS OF ITS PEOPLE! BUT IF WE INSTEAD HAVE OUR ARMY FIGHT THE REBEL FORCES, THE ONLY ONE LAUGHING AT THE END WILL BE CROCODILE!" Pell says softly, "Your majesty..." Chaka apologizes, "Forgive our short-sightedness..." Cobra concludes, "It does not matter even if stopping the rebels is impossible... Our only target is Crocodile!"
