Nami stands ready in the street, holding her Clima-Tact weapon. She declares, "That's the trump card of this weapon! 'Tornado Tempo.'" Miss Doublefinger glares at her, warning, "CONSIDER YOURSELF DOOMED IF YOU MISS..." Nami sweats, thinking to herself, "HOWEVER! AS IT CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE, IT SHOULD BE YOUR LAST RESORT!" Nami then connects the pieces of her Clima-Tact into a T-shape and spins it rapidly. She announces, "The weather today... WILL BE TORNADOES!" Miss Doublefinger looks slightly taken aback, asking, "Are you alright?"

Miss Doublefinger smirks confidently, noting, "Your left leg, Has been hurting for the past while, am I right?" Nami's legs are trembling, and she looks exhausted. Miss Doublefinger continues, "I bet you can hardly even stand up anymore...!" while thinking, "SHE CAN STILL GET UP AFTER THAT?" Suddenly, Miss Doublefinger launches a brutal attack, her hair transforming into sharp spikes. She yells, "STINGER! SEA URCHIN" and thrusts her spiked head directly into Nami's shoulder. Nami screams "AGHH!" in agony as the spikes pierce her.

03
The spikes from Miss Doublefinger's hair dig deep into Nami's shoulder, drawing blood. Nami winces in pain but stands her ground. Miss Doublefinger mocks her, "THIS MUCH PAIN... IS BARELY A SCRATCH..." She continues, "...DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PAIN THAT GIRL'S BEEN THROUGH? COMPARED TO HER PAIN, BREAKING ONE LEG... TWO LEGS... OR EVEN THREE LEGS...!" Nami glares back fiercely, her determination unwavering despite the throbbing pain in her shoulder.

Nami's expression turns fierce as she shouts, "IS NOTHING!" She swings her Clima-Tact forward, yelling, "TAKE THIS! TORNADO TEMPO!" Miss Doublefinger looks shocked as two small mechanical birds suddenly pop out of the ends of the Clima-Tact. The birds fly toward Miss Doublefinger, trailing a wire behind them. Miss Doublefinger watches in confusion as the birds circle her.

05
The mechanical birds rapidly fly around Miss Doublefinger, wrapping the wire tightly around her body. She stammers in confusion, "Wha? Huh!? W-WHA WHA WHA?" Nami watches, equally surprised by the bizarre attack. Miss Doublefinger realizes what's happening and yells, "THE PIGEONS ARE TYING ME U- KYAA! AAGHHHH!" Suddenly, the Clima-Tact mechanism triggers, violently launching Miss Doublefinger away with a massive spinning force. Nami is thrown back by the recoil, screaming "GAAAH HHHH!"
NamiMiss Doublefinger
06
Miss Doublefinger is sent flying through the air, crashing violently through the wall of a nearby building. She screams "KYAA!" as she breaks through the stone. Nami stands in the street, panting heavily and covered in sweat and dirt, watching the destruction. Inside the building, Miss Doublefinger is embedded in the rubble, groaning "Oww..." The structural damage causes the rest of the building's facade to collapse, burying Miss Doublefinger under a pile of heavy debris.

07
The dust settles in the street. The two mechanical birds lie on the ground, tweeting faintly. Miss Doublefinger remains buried under the collapsed building, completely defeated. Nami sighs in relief, her tense posture relaxing as she catches her breath. A decorative text box appears on the screen, declaring: "Winner: Nami". Another text box provides the location: "Alubarna Northern Block Medi Diet Hall Fight in the Back Alleys".

The scene shifts to Crocodile, who is smoking a cigar with a sinister grin. He speaks about a legendary weapon: "'Pluton.' It's said a single blast from it can destroy an entire island without leaving a trace... The ancient world's most fearsome weapon which carries the name of a god! It should be lying somewhere within this kingdom..." Crocodile stands in front of the royal palace, looking imposing in his large coat. He reveals his true motive: "That was my real objective from the beginning. With a weapon like that, I can establish the world's leading military power here in this land!"
Crocodile
09
Pell looks shocked, sweating as he realizes the truth. "A secret passed down from king to his successor for generations..." Vivi is equally horrified, asking, "A weapon!? Does some thing like that... Really exist in this kingdom?" Crocodile stands with Nico Robin, explaining his grand plan. "Once I become the king of this land, It'll only be too easy to bring all the pirates in nearby regions under my control! With such influence, I'll have the power to surpass even the World Government's authority itself! And at last, I will have my utopia!" Pell questions him angrily, "Do you really think the World Government will just let that happen!?" Crocodile smirks, "Oh, of course not. That's precisely why I need something to tip the scales in my favour... Pluton."

Crocodile continues speaking to King Cobra, who is off-panel. "I don't know where you managed to learn that name, But I'll have you know that I have no clue to its whereabouts, Nor am I even sure if such a thing really exists in this kingdom." Crocodile smirks, "...I see. I expected as much." He then reveals a horrifying truth. "Even I realize just how dubious the existence of such an incredible weapon is... In any case, the bulk of the royalist forces are currently gathered around the city square, But at 4:30p.m... That is to say, in just 30 minutes from now, they'll be engulfed by a massive explosion." Outside the palace, royal guards are desperately trying to break in, shouting, "We need to get inside! We've gotta do something about those hands coming out from the doors!" Crocodile holds up a pocket watch, detailing the threat: "A special-made explosive with a blast diameter of 5km. The scenery viewable from here will undergo quite the 'renovation,' I'd assume..." Pell yells in disbelief, "Are you out of your mind!?"

Pell is furious, shouting, "A 5KM BLAST IN JUST 30 MINUTES!? BUT IF YOU DO THAT...!" Crocodile looks back at him, unbothered. "Happy, are you? The rebellion you so wanted to stop will finally be over." Crocodile looks out over the city, calculating. "By my calculations, the rebel forces should penetrate all the way into the city square in about 20 minutes. Rather than blowing up the royal palace to stop the fighting in such a roundabout way, It's far more expedient to eliminate the ones doing the actual fighting." Vivi screams in despair, "HOW CAN YOU DO SUCH A THING!? Princess! JUST WHAT HAVE MY PEOPLE EVER DONE TO YOU!?" Crocodile simply closes his eyes, annoyed, and mutters, "...What an earsore."

Crocodile turns his attention to King Cobra, who is lying injured on the ground. "Now then, Mr. Cobra... I have an alternative request for you." Crocodile demands, "Where is the 'Poneglyph?'" Vivi is confused, asking, "The ancient records...!?" Cobra looks up at Crocodile, questioning, "Why would you want to know where that is...!?" Crocodile offers a deal, "If I tell you where it is, will you..." Cobra responds with a weak, "Hm?"

King Cobra looks defeated and closes his eyes. "Never mind... I will guide you to it." Vivi cries out in distress, "FATHER!" Crocodile laughs triumphantly, "Kuhahaha! The wise-king Cobra lives up to his reputation! You understand your situation quite quickly!" Pell, unable to contain his anger any longer, grips his sword tightly. His face is contorted with rage as he declares, "I CAN NO LONGER, HOLD BACK MY FURY!"

The scene shifts to another battle. A text box reads: "Northern Block Medi Diet Hall Main Street". Roronoa Zoro is engaged in a fierce sword fight with Mr. 1 (Daz Bonez). They clash violently, sparks flying as their blades meet. Zoro prepares an attack, holding one sword in his mouth and two in his hands. He announces his technique, "THREE-SWORD STYLE..."
Roronoa ZoroMr. 1

Zoro unleashes his attack, shouting, "USHI- BARI! (bull horns)". He charges at Mr. 1, striking him with multiple rapid sword slashes. However, Mr. 1 counters the assault, crossing his arms to block the blades. He yells, "SPIDER!" The clash creates a massive shower of sparks and a loud grinding noise as Zoro's swords fail to cut through Mr. 1's hardened body.
Roronoa ZoroMr. 1

Zoro steps back, panting slightly, and says, "Hmph..." He analyzes his opponent, stating, "So your body's basically as hard as a sword. And as long as I can't cut through iron, I won't be able to cut you either..." Mr. 1 stands calmly, confirming, "...That is correct. Blows and blades cannot harm me." Zoro smirks, acknowledging the challenge. "Well, this is quite the predicament... Since I can't cut through iron, I won't be able to beat you..."
Roronoa ZoroMr. 1
17
Mr. 1 looks down at Zoro, asking, "So what will you do...? Oh, how I pity you..." Zoro reaches up and ties his dark bandana around his head, a sign that he is getting serious. He smiles confidently and says, "I've been waiting for a predicament just like this! My body's been just itching for a chance to ascend to the next level..." Zoro grips his swords tightly, his eyes fierce. "ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH YOU... I'LL BE A MAN WHO CAN EVEN CUT THROUGH IRON."
