Mr. Prince

Inside the large corridor of the Rain Dinners casino, Crocodile and Miss All Sunday stand listening to a Den Den Mushi. A voice from the snail says, "Shitty Restaurant...!?" Crocodile smirks and replies, "Oh? Judging by that tone of voice, you still remember me too! I'm touched, really..." He holds the Den Den Mushi up as the voice continues, "Hello, this is the shitty restaurant." Crocodile, looking annoyed, responds, "Don't play around, you imbecile. Denden-mushi? What are you talking about? I've never used the Denden-mushi even once while I was on Little Garden." Meanwhile, Crocodile looks at a set of photos showing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp. He thinks to himself, "The 4 members of the Straw Hat Pirates should all be locked inside that cage right now... Could there have possibly been another member...!?" In the background, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Smoker are visible trapped inside the seastone cage.

Inside the cage, Luffy loudly yells, "SAN-", but Usopp quickly covers his mouth, whispering frantically, "No wait, Luffy! B.W. might not know about him yet..." Nami, standing next to them with Zoro and Smoker, asks, "Did you hear that voice just now...!?" Usopp wonders, "The 'shitty restaurant'...!? Could it be...!?" Outside the cage, Vivi looks hopeful, realizing, "Sanji... That's right! Both Sanji and Chopper are still outside!" A massive Bananagator rests in the room behind her. Miss All Sunday smiles knowingly. Crocodile, growing impatient, demands into the Den Den Mushi, "Just who the hell are you...!?" The snail, mimicking the speaker's expression, replies, "Me? Well... Call me, 'Mr. Prince.'"

Crocodile, still holding the Den Den Mushi, asks, "Well, Mr. Prince... Where are you right now?" The voice replies, "Oh, I can't tell you that. If I did, you'd come to kill me, wouldn't you?" Crocodile's eye twitches in anger. The voice continues, "And setting aside the matter of whether or not you could even kill me, Unlike you, Mr. 0, I'm not so stupid enough as to give away so much vital information..." Suddenly, a panicked voice interrupts over the line, screaming, "PRINCE! HELP US! WE'VE BEEN CAUGHT AND WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!" Crocodile and Miss All Sunday listen intently to the commotion.

A silhouette of Sanji, smoking a cigarette, holds a Den Den Mushi. He chuckles, "Haha... Guess my crew's over there. Well, then I should head ov-" Suddenly, the panicked voice from the snail yells, "HELP! HELP!" followed by a loud "BANG!" and a "THWACK!" Someone groans, "UGH!" Crocodile looks surprised, and inside the cage, Luffy, Usopp, and Nami are shocked, with Luffy exclaiming, "WHA?" The Den Den Mushi clicks, and a voice pants, "Hah... Hah... Tough son of a gun..." Crocodile asks, "Hello!?" and then realizes, "Sanji!?" The voice replies, "I've apprehended a weird male attacker! Hah... Hah..." Vivi looks devastated, whispering, "It can't be..." Crocodile demands, "Where are you right now? Tell me your location." The voice answers, "I'm, uhh... Right outside the front entrance of the Rain Dinners Casino..."

Inside the cage, the Straw Hats panic. Nami cries, "Our last hope...!" Usopp screams, "PANIC! PANIC!" Luffy yells, "FULL PANIC MODE! SANJIIIII!" Zoro angrily shouts, "Are you kidding me!? God, that loser's useless! He better be still alive at least!" Crocodile bursts into laughter, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Perfect! Let's go to the front entrance." Miss All Sunday questions him, "Are you sure? The millions still don't know who their boss is." Smoker sits quietly, smoking his cigars. Crocodile turns and walks down the corridor, stating, "Whoever said I was going outside as the boss of B.W.? Some random Millions-agent isn't going to recognize either of us as B.W. members. As far as they know, they'll see Crocodile the casino owner, coming to see what the fuss outside his casino is about."

The giant Bananagator's eye suddenly snaps open. Vivi runs desperately across the room, crying out, "AHH!" The massive beast thrashes violently, smashing into the stone structures and sending debris flying. Crocodile pauses and looks back over his shoulder. Inside the cage, Zoro yells out in concern, "VIVI!"

Vivi runs towards the stairs leading out of the room. Crocodile shouts after her, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, VIVI!?" Vivi replies, "IN THE MEANWHILE, I'LL GO OUTSIDE TO BRING BACK HELP! DON'T WORRY! THERE'S STILL SOME TIME BEFORE THIS ROOM IS COMPLETELY FLOODED!" Crocodile turns fully around, his expression darkening. In the cage, Usopp realizes, "That's right... I somehow doubt Sanji was actually killed just now. If Vivi can just go rescue Sanji right now, then...!" Nami agrees, "That's right, and there's also Chopper outside. They might be able to do something!" As Vivi continues to run, Zoro warns her, "WATCH OUT, VIVI!"

Crocodile unleashes his Devil Fruit powers, transforming his lower body into swirling sand as he lunges forward. He extends his hand, sending a wave of sand rushing towards Vivi. He yells, "GIVE IT UP ALREADY!" Vivi looks back in terror, screaming, "AHH!" From the cage, Luffy screams her name, "VIVI!" Crocodile's face is shown in a close-up, looking ruthless and determined to stop her.

Crocodile's sand catches Vivi, pulling her back forcefully. She falls to the ground with a clack. Meanwhile, water begins pouring rapidly into the room from a large pipe, flooding the floor. Vivi struggles to get up, panting heavily. From behind the bars of the cage, Luffy yells frantically, "VIVI! WAKE UP! IT'S COMING FOR YOU!" A Bananagator is seen approaching her position.

Crocodile stands at the top of the stairs with Miss All Sunday, looking down at the flooding room. He taunts, "If you like your pirate-friends so much, then feel free to stay here with them. You can all become food for my bananadiles as this room sinks to the bottom of the lake. I'll even bring that cheeky Mr. Prince here for you... I hope you'll be satisfied with just his corpse... Hahaha!" Luffy glares at him with intense fury. The heavy doors slam shut, sealing them inside. Luffy grits his teeth in frustration. The room continues to fill with water, and the giant Bananagator prowls near the cage. Luffy curses, "GOD DAMN IT!"

Outside the Rain Dinners casino, a crowd of citizens and casino patrons has gathered. A man approaches Crocodile, stammering, "M-mr. Crocodile! H-have you heard about the incident at Nanohana!?" Crocodile replies calmly, "Hm? Ah yes, I have. With the rebels ready to clash against the Royal Army, the whole city- No, I daresay the entire country is in an uproar!" He smirks, adding, "Perhaps it's not surprising that things have turned out the way they did..." The crowd murmurs in awe, "Look, it's Sir Crocodile..." "You're right! It's really him! How wonderful!" "He rarely shows his face in the casino..." People cheer for him, completely unaware of his true nature.

Crocodile walks through the adoring crowd, ignoring their cheers of "Sir Crocodile!" and "As popular as ever, aren't you..." He simply grunts, "Hmph..." Back inside the flooding room, a Bananagator opens its massive jaws, roaring loudly. Luffy yells, "VIVI!" Vivi is on the ground, looking up at the beast. She thinks to herself, "THEY'VE SAVED MY LIFE OVER AND OVER AGAIN...! SO I CAN'T JUST LET THEM DIE HERE...!!" She screams, "AGHHHH!" as she scrambles away from the snapping jaws.

The Bananagator roars furiously as it snaps at Vivi. She manages to dodge and runs away, panting, "I've gotta hurry!" Nami smiles in relief, exclaiming, "She did it!" The massive Bananagator thrashes around, smashing into the stone staircase and completely destroying it, roaring loudly as debris falls everywhere. Vivi screams as the stairs collapse.

The pressure of the water shatters the glass windows, causing a massive torrent of water to flood into the room. Usopp panics, "OH CRAP! THE WINDOWS BROKE! FORGET 60 MINUTES! AT THIS RATE, WE'LL ALL DROWN IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES!" The water level rises rapidly, partially submerging the cage and the Bananagators. Luffy calls out, "VIVI! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Vivi, standing on a higher ledge, yells back with determination, "EVERYONE! PLEASE HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE LONGER! I'LL DEFINITELY BRING BACK HELP SOON! I SWEAR I WON'T LET ANY OF YOU DIE!" Luffy grins and shouts, "ALRIGHT, VIVI! WE'RE TRUSTING YOU!" Nami looks at her, moved, saying, "Vivi..."

Outside the casino, a voice asks in shock, "Wha... What in the world!?" The scene reveals the front entrance of Rain Dinners, where dozens of Baroque Works Millions agents lie defeated on the ground. Crocodile and Miss All Sunday stand amidst the unconscious bodies. Miss All Sunday observes, "If we include the members defeated by Pell the Falcon earlier on, Then it appears all the millions stationed in this town have been defeated." Crocodile grabs a conscious agent by the collar, demanding angrily, "YOU! TELL ME NOW! What happened here!?" The terrified agent stammers, "SOME GUY... CALLED MR. PRINCE... DID ALL THIS... WASN'T HE CAUGHT!?" Crocodile asks, "And where did he go!?" The agent replies, "HE... HEADED SOUTH OF THE TOWN... JUST NOW..." Crocodile repeats, "Just now...!?"

Crocodile dashes through the streets of Rainbase, moving at incredible speed. Bystanders watch in surprise, saying, "That must be him!" Crocodile's eye is shown wide with rage. He thinks to himself as he runs, "You think a little piece of shit like you... Can run away from me...?" An internal voice seems to ask, "Why don't you just leave him be?" Crocodile mentally snaps back, "SHUT UP... I'VE KILLED EVERY SINGLE FOOL, WHO'VE DARED TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME...!" He continues to sprint furiously through the town.

Inside the Rain Dinners casino, the patrons are thrown into a panic as the building shakes. "WHOA! WHAT'S GOING ON!?" "AN EARTHQUAKE!?" Outside, the bridge connecting the casino to the town suddenly collapses into the water. People scream, "OH NO! THE BRIDGE AT THE ENTRANCE COLLAPSED! WHY DID IT SINK ALL OF A SUDDEN!? WHAT COULD'VE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN!?" Vivi, who has made it to the casino floor, looks shocked. "The bridge collapsed!?" The patrons around her are in a frenzy, asking, "What do we do!?" "Aren't there any ships!?" "How are we supposed to get back to the town like this!?"

A man in the casino panics, "No, it can't be! Does that mean I can't go outside!?" A figure sitting at a desk, wearing a dark cloak, replies, "It's not that you can't go 'outside,' But rather that they can't come 'inside'..." Vivi turns and gasps, "SANJI!" The figure removes his hood, revealing Sanji sitting at the desk. He says, "Everything went according to plan... Chopper's outside right now as the decoy. Now let's hurry, we've got a rebellion to stop." Sanji smiles confidently, a cigarette in his mouth, and says, "Just lead the way, Princess."
