Luffy and Vivi fight against each other when Luffy says that Vivi's idea to stop the rebellion is naive and the only way to solve the problem in Arabasta is by defeating the Crocodile.

Instead of trying to stop the Rebel Army to war against the kingdom's Army, Straw Hat's crew decides to go after Crocodile at Rainbase, only to meet with Smoker and Tashigi once more and fall right into Crocodile's trap.

Most of Straw Hat's crew is trapped along with Smoker by Crocodile. Vivi and a royal guardian, Pell, fight against Miss All Sunday.

Operation Utopia is set into motion. With his devil fruit's ability, Mr. 2 impersonates King Cobra and orders the destruction of Nanohana. Enraged, Rebel Army begins to move.

Vivi tries desperately to get the key of the cage that traps most of Craw Hat crew from the humongous crocodiles known as Bananawani. Meanwhile, someone contacts Crocodile and introduces himself as Mr. Prince.

Mr. Prince is actually Sanji, who lures Crocodile out so that he can go in and help the others. He manages to open the cage since using the copy key made from the wax of Mr. 3, who is swallowed by one of the Bananawani.

Straw Hat crew rush to Alubarne, where the final battle will take place. But Luffy is captured by Crocodile, so he tells the others to go without him. Battle between Luffy and Crocodile begins, with Crocodile overpowers him with his devil fruit's ability, sand.

The rest of Straw Hat crew reaches Alubarna, while in Rainbase, Luffy gets stabbed by Crocodile, who leaves him to die. However, the mysterious Miss All Sunday saves Luffy.

The war between Royal Army and Rebel Army is about to start and Straw Hat crew sets up a plan to stop it.

Vivi is standing between Alubarne and incoming Rebel Army to speak with Kohza. But a member of Baroque Work infiltrating the Royal Army interferes by shooting the cannon, sending dust spreading and covering the area. Vivi is nearly trampled, but Karoo sacrifices himself and covers her with his body.

Usopp and Chopper struggle against Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas, who attack them from underground and with explosive balls. Scared and badly injured, Usopp tries to flee, but stop immediately when the enemy claims that Luffy is killed by Crocodile.

Though badly injured, Usopp is enraged by Miss Merry Christmas's taunt. Sanji is still engaged in battle against Mr. 2 and they are evenly matched.

Mr.2 keeps changing into Nami so that Sanji can't attack him, but then Sanji notices that Mr.2 should turn back into himself to use his Kenpo. Vivi decides to save the country by destroying the palace, but then Crocodile appears with the kidnapped King Cobra.

It's a fight between Miss Doublefinger and Nami with her new weapon, Clima Tact.

Nami manages to defeat Miss Doublefinger after several false attempts using her Clima Tact. Meanwhile, Crocodile reveals his true objective, ancient weapon Pluton, that lies somewhere in Alabasta.

Zoro struggles in a fierce battle against Mr. 1, who can turn his body parts into blades. After being injured very badly, Zoro learns that his katana should be able to cut steel in order to win.

Kohza eavesdrops the conversation between Crocodile and Vivi, and now after knowing the truth, he tries to stop the Rebel Army for attacking by raising a white flag. However, Baroque Work's infiltrator in Royal Army shots him, and Crocodile spreads sand storm everywhere, encouraging the war.
