The rampaging pirates’ rampage abruptly ceased with the appearance of a crocodile. Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew encountered Mr. 2 Bon Clay, who demonstrated the capabilities of his Devil Fruit, while Vivi witnessed a startling spectacle.

Immediately upon reaching Nanohana, Alabasta's coastal city, Luffy parted ways with his companions. As the others donned disguises, he learned of Dance Powder.

In the town of Nanohana, the Straw Hats cross paths with Smoker and Tashigi. Soon after, the formidable pirate Portgas D. Ace makes a dramatic appearance.

Ace engaged Smoker in battle as the Straw Hats scrambled to reach their ship. Luffy was reunited with his brother, who had departed home to join the Whitebeard Pirates; he now sought Blackbeard, a former crewmate responsible for the death o…

Ace resolved to journey with the Straw Hats; his pursuit led him to seek a figure known only as Blackbeard.

Having departed Erumalu, the Straw Hats, accompanied by Vivi and Ace, pressed onward through the desert, encountering its myriad perils.

Nami and Vivi discovered a more convenient means of traversing the desert, one that allowed them to leave the concerns of men behind.

News reached them of a remote village relying on supposed Rebel Army guards to maintain order. Intrigued and wary, Vivi turned to the crew, proposing a test to determine if these protectors truly deserved their position.

Deep within the Alabasta desert, the crew hunted and subdued a colossal scorpion for sustenance. As they ate, Vivi recounted tales of her childhood and her bond with a friend named Kohza to Nami.

Ace found himself locked in combat with a bounty hunter, a man who falsely claimed to have vanquished Blackbeard. The deception was a calculated move, a lure designed to draw Ace from his path and offer him a challenge – a spectacle intende…

Lost as they often were, Zoro, Chopper, and Luffy found themselves unexpectedly amidst colossal, subterranean ruins.

With the Baroque Works plan now underway, the Number Agents convene to meet with Mr. 0. Simultaneously, the crew learns that the Rebel Army has departed Yuba, making for Katorea, where their leader, Kohza, is resolved to launch an assault.

In Yuba, Luffy discovers that Toto had been tasked by Cobra with safeguarding the region. He then devises a method to quell the encroaching sandstorm.

Following their arduous ordeal, Vivi resolved to pursue Crocodile alongside the Straw Hats. The crew journeyed to the city of Rainbase, only to find themselves in conflict with Smoker and Tashigi.

Crocodile has ensnared the majority of the Straw Hats, alongside Smoker. Vivi is reunited with Pell, the kingdom's royal guardian, but her reunion is short-lived; she is swiftly captured by Miss All-Sunday. With her captive, Crocodile revea…

The Baroque Works' scheme for the acquisition of Alabasta is now underway.

The Straw Hats were largely confined, their efforts to escape hampered by Vivi's desperate attempts to procure the key to their imprisonment, all to no avail. Meanwhile, Crocodile received a communication from an individual known only as "M…

The mystery surrounding Mr. Prince is resolved; his true name is known.

Having left behind the perils of Rain Dinners, the Straw Hats and Vivi journeyed across the arid desert toward Alubarne, the location of their final confrontation.

Crocodile left Luffy for dead, yet a mysterious figure known as Miss All-Sunday intervened to save him. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Straw Hat crew arrived in Alabarna.

The air crackled with the imminent arrival of revolution, and the crew formulated a plan – a desperate gamble that might yet avert the coming storm.

Vivi strained to signal the Rebel Army, but her attempt was thwarted by an infiltrator from Baroque Works within the Royal Army.

Usopp and Chopper faced a relentless barrage from Mr. 4's crew, each assault seeming to deepen their despair. Yet, a subtle shift in fortune appeared on the horizon, as Usopp began to understand the true meaning of courage.

Though battered and bruised, Usopp and Chopper had at last overcome the Mr. 4 crew. Yet, Mr. 2 had discerned a vulnerability in Sanji.

Despite discerning Sanji’s vulnerability, Mr. 2 finds himself unable to overcome him, and the cook ultimately prevails after a hard-fought contest. Simultaneously, before Vivi can authorize the palace's destruction, Crocodile makes his pres…

Nami stood in opposition to Miss Doublefinger, her mind focused on deciphering the nature of a novel weapon. It was a creation of Usopp’s, the Clima-Tact, and she sought to understand its capabilities.

As Crocodile divulged the secrets of Pluton to Vivi, Nami launched her most potent assault upon Miss Doublefinger: the devastating Tornado Tempo.

Miss Doublefinger's contest with Nami proved arduous, but Zoro faces an even more formidable opponent in Mr. 1. The man possesses the unsettling ability to transmute his entire body into steel—an impervious defense against Zoro’s blade. As …

As Vivi disclosed Crocodile’s scheme to Koza, the latter made a desperate attempt to quell the conflict, only to be struck down by a bullet. With grim satisfaction, Crocodile then revealed the extent of his malice: a colossal bomb lay hidde…

Crocodile accompanied Robin into the tomb, commanding her to translate the Poneglyph. Robin countered that the text concerned only history, making no mention of Pluton. However, Crocodile discerned her deception and, with a swift movement, …

Luffy engaged Crocodile in battle, his fists slicked with blood. Elsewhere, Vivi discovered the bomb and summoned the Straw Hats to her location.

Within the clock tower's heart, Vivi discovered the bomb, guarded by the formidable Mr. 7 duo. She vanquished them, yet a chilling realization dawned: the device was beyond simple neutralization. A timer ticked relentlessly, and as detonati…

Luffy vanquished Crocodile with a blow that shattered even the toughest stone beneath. As the formidable villain crashed to the ground, the falling rain seemed to soften, a gentle hush descending upon the assembled soldiers.

With the conflict concluded, the results are now assessed. Igaram presents evidence clearing Cobra's name, while Koza recounts the full story. Tashigi and Smoker both receive commendation for their efforts against Crocodile, though neither …

Following his battle with Crocodile in the collapsed tomb, Luffy was brought to safety and taken to Cobra's palace for rest. Upon awakening, he found a grand banquet prepared in his honor. Afterward, the Straw Hats were welcomed to the pala…

Once more, the Marines' pursuit of the Straw Hats proves fruitless. Having evaded their grasp, Nico Robin—also known as Ms. All Sunday—emerges from within the ship itself. She successfully convinces the crew to accept her as a member. In th…
