## One Piece Chapter 198, pages 6-7: 4:15 P.M. - Chapter: 198 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Royal guards, rebel fighters, Baroque Works agents, Vivi, Crocodile ### Summary Page 6: The massive sandstorm completely engulfs the city of Alubarna, obscuring the palace and the battlefield in a thick, choking cloud of dust. Fighters on the ground struggle to see, yelling, "I CAN'T SEE AHEAD AT ALL!" and "DAMN THESE SAND STORMS!" In the blinding dust, chaos reigns supreme. A royal guard is shot down with a loud "BAM!!", while another guard, enraged by the unseen attacks, yells, "THOSE REBEL SCUM!" In the bottom panel, a Baroque Works agent, disguised as a royal guard and holding a smoking pistol, smirks evilly as he watches the two sides tear each other apart. He gloats, "It's useless! We B.W. agents have infiltrated both sides!" The wind howls violently around them, ensuring that neither side can communicate or realize they are being manipulated. Page 7: The violence escalates further as a royal guard is struck down by a rebel attack. The guard yells, "IS THIS HOW THE ROYALIST SCUMS FIGHT!?" while a rebel shouts back, "SURRENDER, MY ASS!" Vivi, watching from the palace, screams in desperation, "NO!" She pleads with the warring factions below, her voice cracking, "EVERYONE, PLEASE! YOU HAVE TO STOP FIGHTING!" "PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" Crocodile glares menacingly, his face shadowed as he watches her futile efforts. Vivi turns to him, demanding, "HOW LOW ARE YOU WILLING TO SINK TO!?" The city's clock tower is shown, ticking ominously, "tic toc tic...". A royal guard commander, ignoring Vivi's pleas, orders his men, "RETURN FIRE, GUARDS!" Crocodile taunts Vivi, stating coldly, "THIS ENTIRE WAR IS..." while Vivi desperately yells, "STOP!", realizing that the slaughter is exactly what he wants.
