Utopia

Usopp, wearing goggles and a hat, declares while holding his weapon, "That's the trump card of this weapon!" and names it "Tornado Tempo." A scarred man with long dark hair glares and warns, "CONSIDER YOURSELF DOOMED IF YOU MISS..." Nami, sweating and gripping her staff, replies, "HOWEVER! AS IT CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE, IT SHOULD BE YOUR LAST RESORT!" with heavy breaths "HUFF" and sound effects "ドクッ..." and "ドッ...". In the street below, Nami swings her staff and shouts, "WILL BE TORNADOES!" as a powerful wind blasts forward. Usopp asks from the side, "Are you alrightI" while a voice notes, "The weather today..." and a crouching curly-haired figure reacts with "!!I".

The scarred opponent taunts Nami, "I bet you can hardly even stand up anymore...!" and notes, "Has been hurting for the past while, am I rightI Your left leg." Nami thinks, "SHE CAN STILL GET UP AFTER THATI" The opponent unleashes a massive attack labeled "STINGER!" and "SEA URCHIN" with radiating spikes and impact lines striking Nami from behind. She cries out "AGHH!" and "UGH-" as she is hurled backward, her body twisting in pain with motion lines and debris flying.

Nami's high-heeled foot stomps down with impact effects "ギギギギ!!" as the opponent recoils. The scarred man, struck in the chest with a burst of black impact, grits out, "IS BARELY A SCRATCH..." while thinking "THIS MUCH PAIN..." and sound effects "ポタ ポタ". Nami stands over him. In a wide view, the opponent reflects, "BREAKING ONE LEG... TWO LEGS... OR EVEN THREE LEGS...." with "THROB" effects, while thinking "COMPARED TO HER PAIN..." and asking, "...DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PAIN THAT GIRL'S BEEN THROUGHI" as question marks and motion lines appear near the distant building marked page 130.

A fierce fighter with spiky hair lunges forward, shouting "TAKE THIS!" as impact lines explode around him. He declares "IS NOTHING!" while sweat flies from his determined face. Below, Nami grips her Clima-Tact and yells "TEMPO!" A massive black sphere forms as she swings, unleashing a roaring "TORNADO" that engulfs her opponent in swirling winds and debris. The foe is hurled backward with a startled "!!I" Small birds flutter nearby as the tornado rages. In the final panels, Nami stands ready while her opponent reels from the blast, with sound effects like "ポッポー" marking the chaotic wind.

The tornado rips through the air with a massive "ガアアア HHHH!" as Nami is violently yanked upward by an unseen force. Her body twists in the gale while she cries out in pain. Pigeons swarm around her, their wings beating with "tweet" and "グリン!" sounds. A voice shouts "WhaI" as another figure reacts with "Huh!I" Nami struggles, yelling "WHA WHA WHAI" and "THE PIGEONS ARE TYING ME U-" while being pulled higher. The attacker below screams "AAGHHH!" as the birds tighten their grip, sending Nami spinning helplessly through the sky.

Debris and barrels crash through the air with explosive "シャアン!!!" and "ゴゴッ!! ゴゴッ!!" impacts as the fight tears apart a building. Nami lands hard amid the rubble, her expression shifting from shock to focus. She pants heavily with "ハァ... ハァ..." while surveying the destruction. In the background, a figure is hurled through the air with a final "KYAA!" before crashing down. Smoke and falling wreckage fill the ruined alley as Nami catches her breath, the aftermath of the tornado and pigeon attack leaving the street in chaos.

A small bird flutters with a "tweet" as Nami stands amid the wreckage, breathing heavily with "ハァ... ハァ..." A defeated opponent lies sprawled on the ground. Nami grips her weapon, sweat on her face, as the scene shifts to a wide view of the ruined alley. A large sign declares "Winner: Nami" while another panel labels the location: "Alubarna Northern Block Medi Diet Hall Fight in the Back Alleys." The devastated street stretches out with scattered debris, barrels, and a distant figure near a pump, marking the end of the intense back-alley battle.

Crocodile leans forward with a cigar in his mouth, eyes half-lidded, and explains, "It's said a single blast from it can destroy an entire island without leaving a trace..." A second bubble names the weapon: "Pluton." The scene shifts to the grand palace of Alubarna with palm trees, statues, and fallen bodies in the foreground. A voice states, "It should be lying somewhere within this kingdom..." while another declares, "The ancient world's most fearsome weapon which carries the name of a god!" Crocodile stands with arms spread wide in his black fur-lined coat, proclaiming, "With a weapon like that, I can establish the world's leading military power here in this land!" In close-up he adds with a fierce glare, "That was my real objective from the beginning."

Crocodile continues, "A secret passed down from king to his successor for generations..." Vivi stares in shock, sweat flying, and cries, "Really exist in this kingdomI" "A weapon!I Does some thing like that..." Crocodile stands before the palace gates and declares, "With such influence, I'll have power to surpass even the World Government's authority itself! And at last, I will have my utopia!" He adds, "It'll only be too easy to bring all the pirates in nearby regions under my control!" "Once I become the king of this land." Turning to face Crocodile, the agent with the hook replies, "Oh, of course not. That's precisely why I need something to tip the scales in my favour... Pluton." Crocodile smirks and asks, "Do you really think the World Government will just let that happenI"

Crocodile smiles faintly and says, "...I see." "I expected as much." He continues, "But I'll have you know that I have no clue to its whereabouts, Nor am I even sure if such a thing exists in this kingdom." "I don't know where you managed to learn that name." The view widens to the palace square where royalist soldiers are gathered. Crocodile warns, "But at 4:30p.m... That is to say, in just 30 minutes from now, they'll be engulfed by a massive explosion." "In any case, the bulk of the royalist forces are currently gathered around the city square." "Even I realize just how dubious the existence of such an incredible weapon is..." Panicked soldiers shout, "We've gotta do something about those hands coming out from the doors!" and "We need to get inside!" Crocodile holds up a round bomb and states, "The scenery viewable from here will undergo quite the 'renovation,' I'd assume..." "A special-made explosive with a blast diameter of 5km." A soldier yells, "Are you out of your mind!I"

Crocodile tells Vivi, "Happy, are youI The rebellion you so wanted to stop will finally be over." Vivi screams in horror, "BUT IF YOU DO THAT...!" "A 5KM BLAST IN JUST 30 MINUTES!I" Crocodile explains his plan from behind, "It's far more expedient to eliminate the ones doing the actual fighting." "Rather than blowing up the royal palace to stop the fighting in such a roundabout way." "By my calculations, the rebel forces should penetrate all the way into the city square in about 20 minutes." In a small panel he mutters, "...What an eyesore." Vivi lunges forward, tears streaming, and shouts, "JUST WHAT HAVE MY PEOPLE EVER DONE TO YOU!I" "Princess!" "HOW CAN YOU DO SUCH A THING!I"

Outside a grand building lined with palm trees and a towering jackal statue, bodies lie scattered on the grass. Crocodile’s voice cuts through the scene: “Now then, Mr. Cobra...” An unseen speaker replies, “I have an alternative request for you.” In close-up, Crocodile leans forward with a cigar, demanding, “Where is the ‘PoneglyphI’” Cobra, bound and kneeling, reacts with a startled “HmI” Vivi’s eyes widen in shock as she thinks, “If I tell you where it is, will you...” and “Why would you want to know where that is...!I The ancient records...!I”

Crocodile looms over the sweating Cobra and declares, “I will guide you to it.” Vivi cries out desperately, “FATHER!” Cobra answers, “Never mind...” Elsewhere, a Baroque Works agent addresses Vivi with “Princess,” noting “You understand your situation quite quickly!” Crocodile laughs triumphantly, “Kuhahaha! The wise-king Cobra lives up to his reputation!” In a furious close-up, a swordsman grips his blade and roars, “HOLD BACK MY FURY! I CAN NO LONGER,” while a small “CLUTCH...” sound effect appears.

The scene shifts to the Northern Block, Medi Diet Hall, Main Street. Crocodile is suddenly struck from multiple angles by flying swords and impact lines as a powerful three-sword assault lands. In a split panel, Roronoa Zoro bites down on a sword hilt and announces, “THREE-SWORD STYLE...” while the blades tear into Crocodile’s body with a sharp “BITE!” effect.

Zoro’s attack continues as he shouts “SPIDER!” and “USHI-” while Crocodile is slammed by a massive spinning strike. Crocodile counters with his own technique, horns erupting as he yells “BARI! (bull horns)” amid explosive impact lines and debris. The clash produces huge stylized sound effects “ドォォ...”, “ザギン!!!”, and “ギギギギギギギギ!!!” as both fighters are locked in a brutal exchange.

In a sunlit street of the ruined city, Roronoa Zoro stands with both swords drawn, a confident smirk on his face as he mutters, "Hmph..." Behind him, a cloaked figure is sent flying by an unseen force. Facing him is a tall, muscular bald man whose body appears unnaturally hard. The man declares, "Blows and blades cannot harm me." Zoro replies coolly, "And as long as I can't cut through iron, I won't be able to cut you either... So your body's basically as hard as a sword." The bald man confirms, "...That is correct." Alone in a wide panel, Zoro lowers his blades with a grim expression, thinking, "I won't be able to beat you... Well, this is quite the predicament... Since I can't cut through iron." Large stylized sound effects "どーん" emphasize the tension.

Zoro launches into a powerful stance, crossing his swords as he shouts with fierce determination, "My body's been just itching for a chance to ascend to the next level... I've been waiting for a predicament just like this!" The bald man watches with mild surprise, thinking "!I" and says aloud, "Oh, how I pity you... So what will you do...I" In a dramatic close-up, Zoro's face fills the frame, eyes intense beneath his bandana, declaring, "I'LL BE A MAN WHO CAN EVEN CUT THROUGH IRON. ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH YOU..." Massive impact lines and crossed swords dominate the panel as he prepares his ultimate strike.
