A massive explosion rocks the city of Alubarna, sending huge chunks of stone, debris, and dust flying into the air as buildings collapse under the impact. The sound effect "RUMBLE RUMBLE" fills the sky, illustrating the sheer scale of the destruction falling from above. The sky is filled with falling rubble. In the panel below, Chopper and Zoro are shown looking up in absolute shock at the sky. Chopper's jaw drops wide open in disbelief, his eyes bulging out of his head, while Zoro, gripping his swords tightly in both hands, stares intensely at the falling debris, bracing for whatever is coming down.

Nami looks up with wide, shocked eyes, her face bruised and dirty from the ongoing battle. Next to her, Sanji points urgently towards the sky, yelling, "HEY, GUYS! UP THERE! ISN'T THAT...". Zoro and Chopper also stare upward, completely stunned by what they see falling from the sky above the city. In the large panel below, the dark silhouette of Crocodile is shown plummeting headfirst through the air. His signature golden hook is visible on his left arm, and his heavy coat billows around him as he falls helplessly. A large jagged text effect reads "CROCODILE?" as the crew realizes that the Warlord has been defeated and is falling to the ground.

Debris continues to rain down over the city of Alubarna, with the large clock tower standing amidst the falling rubble and smoke. Vivi looks up, a sudden realization dawning on her face as she connects the dots. She says, "OHHHH! I GET IT!" and then continues her thought in the next panel, "SO ALL I GOTTA DO,". The bottom panel reveals Luffy, battered, bruised, and covered in blood, but grinning broadly. He is holding his signature straw hat to his head with one hand, looking triumphant. He finishes Vivi's thought, saying, "IS KICK CROCODILE'S ASS, RIGHT!?". His confident smile shows his victory over the Warlord.

Vivi stares upward with wide, tearful eyes, whispering, "LUFFY...". Below her, the chaotic battlefield is shown, with soldiers from both sides still fighting amidst the falling debris and dust. A massive figure falls from the sky, accompanied by the sound effects "WAAAAAAH" and "RUMBLE RUMBLE". In the bottom panels, Luffy is seen falling through the air, his eyes closed and his body looking completely exhausted and battered from the intense fight. Beside him, Crocodile plummets downward, completely unconscious, his body limp and defeated as he falls towards the city below. The contrast between the victorious but exhausted Luffy and the defeated Crocodile is stark.

Crocodile continues his unconscious descent through the air. A thought bubble or off-screen voice notes, "Impossible... The bedrock layer from here all the way to the surface is far too thick...". Above, Luffy is shown bursting through the thick bedrock, shattering it into pieces as he emerges into the sky. On the ground, the fierce battle between the royal army and the rebels rages on, with soldiers clashing weapons. Zoro looks up, realizing the implication of Luffy's appearance, and says, "T-that must mean...!". Sanji, standing with Chopper and Nami, adds, "I don't have a clue why he suddenly popped up from there, but...". The crew realizes Luffy has won.

Zoro, Chopper, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp all break into massive, relieved smiles, realizing their captain has won the battle. A huge, jagged speech bubble bursts across the panel, shouting, "HE WOOONN!!!". Below, a soldier looks stunned by the falling debris. Chaka, in his half-jackal form, looks up and says, "There aren't any enemies left now...". He then collapses forward onto his hands and knees, completely exhausted, with a "SCRATCH" and "THUD...". In the bottom panel, overlooking the city and the clock tower, a silhouette cries out, "So please don't shed any more needless blood...!". The sound of the battlefield roars on in the background.

Vivi screams at the top of her lungs, her mouth wide open in a desperate, tearful plea to stop the violence. A massive speech bubble dominates the page, reading, "PLEASE! STOP FIGHTING!". Below her, the chaotic battlefield is shown in intense detail, with soldiers from both the royal army and the rebellion fiercely clashing with swords, spears, and shields. The soldiers are completely engulfed in the madness of war, unaware of the events above or Vivi's cries. The sound effects "WAAAAAH" and "CLANG CLANG" emphasize the intense, deafening combat that continues to rage across the plaza, showing the sheer scale of the conflict.

High above the battlefield, the thick clouds in the sky suddenly begin to part, revealing the clear sky behind them. The shockwave from Luffy's final attack seems to have cleared the weather, pushing the clouds away in a massive circle. A bird flies through the newly opened space. The view shifts to a wide aerial shot of the circular city of Alubarna, showing its intricate layout. In the center of the city, a massive cloud of dust and smoke billows outward from the plaza, the aftermath of the bedrock shattering and the combatants falling from the sky. The sheer scale of the explosion is visible from high above.

A hand reaches out, palm up, feeling a single drop of water fall from the sky. Near a cannon, a rebel soldier looks shocked as he feels the moisture. Someone asks, "Can you feel it...?". Kouza, lying injured on the ground, looks up and says, "Huh?". Another soldier yells, "Kouza!". King Cobra, battered but resolute, tells him, "DON'T DOUBT HIM, KOUZA. THE RAIN WILL COME.". In the bottom panel, a hand catches a falling raindrop with a "DROP...!!" sound effect. A text bubble declares, "THE WAR, IS OVER.". The arrival of the rain marks the end of the long drought and the conflict that has plagued the country.

Soldiers on the battlefield stop their fighting and look up in awe as the rain begins to fall, washing away the dust. One of them murmurs, "Rain...". Kouza, feeling the rain on his face, says, "THE SOUND OF WEAPONS CLASHING IS NO MORE...!". Tashigi, also looking up with rain falling on her face, adds, "THE MADNESS STOPPED...". In the large bottom panel, Crocodile lies completely unconscious and defeated on the cracked ground, his hook resting beside him. The heavy rain pours down on his battered body, symbolizing the end of his reign of terror and the salvation of Alubarna.

Luffy falls heavily to the ground, landing on his back with a loud "THUD THUD", completely exhausted from the battle. His limbs are splayed out, and he is covered in injuries, his clothes torn. Below, King Cobra looks on in shock at the young pirate who saved his country, his face bruised and battered. Voices from the clearing dust yell, "HEY! HEY, YOU!". The ruins of the city are shrouded in smoke and debris as the dust begins to settle, revealing the destruction caused by the final clash. The rain continues to fall, washing over the battlefield and the fallen combatants.

Vivi continues to cry out, tears streaming down her face as she screams, "PLEASE STOP... FIGHTING!". Below, the rain pours down over the city, and the soldiers on the battlefield finally halt their combat. They lower their weapons and look around in confusion as the rain washes over them, the sound of the downpour replacing the clash of steel. Nami, looking relieved, says, "Finally reached them... Vivi's voice...". A soldier nearby notices the changing atmosphere, saying, "The rain's clearing away the dust and smoke...!". The battlefield falls silent except for the rain, the fighting finally over.

Weapons clatter to the ground as the soldiers drop their swords and spears, the fight leaving them. As the dust clears, the soldiers spot Vivi standing near the clock tower. Murmurs spread through the crowd: "Wasn't the princess supposed to be missing...?", "Vivi...!", "Princess Vivi?", "It's the princess.". Meanwhile, Zoro sits on the ground, looking annoyed, and tells someone, "Shut your trap and sit still!". A soldier angrily yells, "SIR Crocodile!? Let me tell you what this bastard did to this countr-". The crowd then notices Crocodile's defeated body lying in the rubble. Shock ripples through them: "Sir Crocodile lying here unconscious!?", "AHH! W-why is...". The realization of Crocodile's defeat sets in.

The rain continues to wash over the city of Alubarna, cleansing the battlefield and the combatants. A voice narrates, "The rain falling now... Will fall again as in times past.". Vivi is shown looking forward, tears of relief mixing with the rain on her face. She smiles softly and says, "Now that the nightmare, Is finally over...!". The bottom panel shows a close-up of Crocodile's unconscious, battered face lying in the rubble as the rain pours over him, his defeat absolute. The rain symbolizes the return of peace to the kingdom, washing away the despair.

King Cobra looks down with a gentle, grateful smile, saying, "You have my thanks." Behind him, the ruins of the city are visible through the clearing smoke. On the ground, Luffy lies on his back, covered in injuries but sporting a massive, triumphant grin. He simply replies, "COOL!". The bottom panels show more debris falling around them as Cobra continues to watch over the victorious pirate, the battle finally concluded. The contrast between the destruction and Luffy's simple joy highlights the end of the conflict, as the king acknowledges the pirate's help.

Massive chunks of stone and debris continue to plummet from the sky, crashing down onto the city below. The sound effect "RUMBLE RUMBLE" fills the air as the remnants of the destroyed bedrock fall. More debris smashes into the buildings of Alubarna, causing further damage as the dust settles. The sheer scale of the destruction highlights the intensity of the battle that just concluded, leaving the city in ruins but finally free from Crocodile's control. The falling rubble is a stark reminder of the power unleashed during the fight.
