Finally fully loaded, Larsi set off towards the light source in the distance. The air was thankfully cool, and moving kept him warm, and his bodywarmth would keep his friends warm. They made small talk, enjoying their trek towards their location. Within a couple of hours they reached their target, Rain Base. Still in the dead of the night, Larsi gingerly made his way down the deserted street. At the end was the pyramid with a crocodile statue perched atop it. The casino Crocodile owns and inhabits. Just you wait, little man. With a single step, the giant stepped over the moat, finding himself in a mostly deserted courtyard.

Who are yo- Larsi's hand quickly covered the guard, putting his other finger in front of his mouth to signal silence. Luckily, the man listened and halted his speech. Satisfied, Larsi spoke as quietly as possible. Where is Crocodile? He could see the man weigh his options, but it seemed the huge hand weighed more than his loyalty. With a trembling voice, the man spoke quietly. He left for a business trip in Alubarna a few days ago.

What's going on here?
Larsi looked up. Another guard had rounded the corner, his weapon now raised towards them. Musashi.

Got it.
Leaping from his pocket, his crewman dashed forward, so fast that the man couldn't respond before a blade was pressed against his neck. Where is Crocodile?

I uh- I can't-
The blade pressed harder, drawing blood. At the same time, Larsi covered the other man's face, before pressing down. A muffled scream could be heard, before silence. Rising to his feet, Larsi faced the man Musashi was holding. He'sinAlubarna! Larsi smiled. Thank you. Musashi.

Roger.
With one move, the blade cut across the man's neck, Musashi walking away as the limp body fell to the ground. Larsi reached out with his Color of Observation, sensing if there were any more close by. Meanwihle, Muashi climbed back into his pocket. Sensing nobody, Larsi stepped out of the courtyard, disabling his haki, disappearing down the street. What a waste of time.

A few hours later, Larsi reached the ship again. Let's just get this over with. Just stay where you are. One foot aboard and one ashore, Larsi kicked off with all his force, jumping aboard. The ship was sent virtually flying across the river. While it shot across, Larsi picked up a barrel of water. All the walking had made him thirsty. He finished the water before they made land. Picking up another, the giant jumped ashore, threading through the sand once more. Above him, the sky was starting to light up.

A few hours later, the sun was about to rise over the horizon. Larsi sat down in the sand, looking at the wall that defended Alubarna against attacks. Raising the second barrel to his mouth, Larsi started chugging again, though he didn't finish it in one go.
Get your Den Den Mushis and go look for Crocodile. Keep a low profile, in two teams. Me and Minuano will remain here, ready to come for him once you let us know.

Larsi hunkered down, and would wait outside the city. He knew a giant would likely attract attention, but he would not be much help in the search.

Okay, how about this. Guan and I will go with Musashi as a team and head to the Western Block while Drago, Eve and Kojiro will go search for Crocodile somewhere else. Sound good?
Captain, are we heading to Alubarna on foot? It might take a while for us to get there if we are going to be walking there.
Straw didn’t want to have to walk the whole time and looking for Crocodile might be a challenge for him since he is blind.
Also Drago, you still got those snail transponders?

"Why did we go to western block?", ask Yamamoto. "And why did that buffon who ended up together with Eve?".

"Hey Drago give me one of those Den Den Mushi, you forget to give me ones when we are still on the ship!",
said Yamamoto.

The heat during the day was a complete 180 from the chilly night and that was unbearable to Minuano who was not used to it. He decided to jump down from Larsi's palm and instead take shelter in the shadow of the giant while waiting for his comrades to find Crocodile.

May fortune be with you all! If there is any trouble do not hesitate to give us a call over the den den mushi! Let's make the news by the end of this week!

Eve enjoyed everything that happened so far. Larsi and Musashi threaten 2 guards which ended up being killed anyway, but not before sharing where Crocodile currently is. Alubarna was their next destination. Couple of hours later they finally arrived only to see the huge walls surrounding the city. Now that is what we call a wall, dont you think?

Eve could feel the rising sun burn on her skin already. Try to stay in the shadow as much as you can guys, and drink enough water. With 1 leg Eve jumped from Larsi's head to the ground.
Get your Den Den Mushis and go look for Crocodile. Keep a low profile, in two teams. Me and Minuanowill remain here, ready to come for him once you let us know.
Eve slowly walked towards Dragomir. Drago, may I have one of those snails you made?

Okay, how about this. Guan and I will go with Musashi as a team and head to the Western Block while Drago, Eve and Kojiro will go search for Crocodile somewhere else. Sound good?

Eve did not even notice Hatter. So he's finally awake and sober. Sober fits you better Hatter, atleast now you come up with a plan instead of sleeping. Drago, Kojiro and I will check out the center of the city. Captain, we let you know immediately once we spot something suspicious or a sign of Crocodile. Eve waved her captain and Vice captain goodbye and made her way towards the city. Take care everyone, and don't act suspicious!

Yamamoto. What’s wrong? Strawhatter was curious why his crewmate objects.

Meanwhile, Straw was nervous. He did not know how he could be of help.
When whoever goes with me gets to Alubarna, I have something to propose.

"Look at this map, the western block is just covering too much area! It would be a pain in the ass to search an area with that size.", Yamamoto answered.

"Meanwhile, look at the northern block, the sizes it covers is quite small. It will not be too much sweat to search there!"

"Well, anyway . . . what did you want to propose?",
ask Yamamoto to Straw.

"Hey Drago! Why did you keep quiet? Say something! And give me the damn Den Den Mushi already!", said Yamamoto.

"This guy really is a buffoon!".

Yamamoto, calm down. Well, what I was supposed to say later was that I can’t be of help in looking for Crocodile. So instead I’ll just hold of whoever is hindering our way. And regarding about where we should start, it doesn’t really matter since we’ll have to search for Croc in every corner of Alubarna so eventually, we’ll find him.

Drago enraged by Yamamoto, jumped out of Larsi's pocket and replied to him, I didn't forget to give your Den Den Mushi, you forgot to pick it up yourself from one of the guys you fucking dumbass. Drago with hot blood pulsing his veins, heard Eve approach him and ask him for a Den Den Mushi. Wtf is wrong with these ppl? Were they not paying attention when the fodder had the Den Den Mushis? Drago pissed as to how his crewmates never payed attention to what was going on. He shouted at them, I only have a den den mushi for myself, Larsi and Minuano are the only ones with a den as well. For fucks sakes, were you guys not paying any fucking attention when the damn fodder had the den den mushis? You were supposed to pick one up from them!

Larsi chuckled at his crewmates. What a bunch. He put his hand in his pocket, pulling out his own den den mushi, extending his hand towards Straw. Its fine Drago, but the rest of you should really be paying better attention. Straw take mine and go with Musashi and Yamamoto. You can reach us on Minuato's Den Den Mushi. Drago, take Eve and Koujiro with you. We really only need three snails.

"Sire, We have received word certain men resembling photos from the latest batch of bounty posters. It is still unclear where they were spotted but all of them appear to belong to the Silver hair Pirates, The silver hair pirates have a bounty of over 800 000 Beli." Pell said, addressing the King

"Do we know where they are now? What about the rebels? Any movement?" the King asked.

"We lost our scouts within the Rebels base, I have dispatched new scouts until they arrive however we are blind. We don't know where the Silver Hair Pirates are but what bothers me most is that only some of the crew has been spotted. We have not heard anything of the rest." Pell Responded.

"Find the Pirates! Hopefully, we can arrest them before Crocodile do. We are losing too much Reputation by continuously arriving late." The King ordered.

"It cannot be helped sire, Crocodile is the people's hero and he is sanctioned by the government. He is this country's saving grace." Pell said.;

"I know, I know. Send your men to search for the pirates but make it clear, if they come across any rebels, they are not to exchange. We cannot kill our own citizens. Have you heard anything about Vivi? Her continued disappearance is a plight on my health." The King said.

Pell send orders to the Royal guards all across Alabasta to be on alert and on the lookout for the silver hair pirates and the docks to be on the lookout for a pirate ship. "Sire, I'm sorry to say we have no word as to the location or reason behind the princesses disappearance. We have not even received ransom demands." Pell said apologetically like he took personal blame for the lack of information. "Sire, I will take my leave and search for whatever information I can from the sky. " Pell Continues

"I will remain by your side. There are too many questionable things happening all at once, I will protect you." Chaka said having been standing next to the king the entire time.

"Thank you, Chaka but my people are more important. Once Pell finds the pirates, I want you to aid him. We cannot let them harm our people and 800 000 beli might be too much for him to handle on his own." The King said running the new information through his mind "Why Alabasta? Why are they here?" The King thought.

The King and his men were completely unaware that the Silver-haired Pirates was already at the Capital, and with no word, off or from Vivi, the King remain ignorant of Crocodiles part in the Country's hardship. With the King's spies in the Rebels missing, the King was also unaware of any movement of the rebel forces.

Mr.2 location in the sub area of Rebel base

Den den mushi:
"Puru puru puru, puru puru puru! Catcha!"
Mr.2: "Oooooooooi yeeeeees, Zero-chan!"- screamed Mr. 2 answering the call and making pirouettes at the same time - "What can I do for you, wa-yo!"
Mr. 0: "Did you finish your task with the rebels. Did you play the king role to destroy the near by villages where rebel army is, by the king's command?"
Mr.2: "The plan was success, Zero-chan! I made sure that everybody knew the king was there. It was a good show! Swan, swan!" - touching his head with one hand his face was changing from the king's to his own face several times in a row.
Mr. 0:
"Excellent job Mr.2! Return to Alubarna and prepare for the final phase of the plan!"
Mr.2: "Waaahahaha, Waaahahahaha! The end will be in Alubarna, wa-yo!" - Mr. 2 was spinning uncontrollably making ballet positions.
*Catcha*

Crocodile: "Now its time for Mr.4 and Miss Merry Christmas to finish their job." - Crocodile was talking to him self while shaking a glass filled with a bit of ice and expensive brand of alcohol.

An hour before in the Rebel Army Base

Due to the trickery used by Mr. 2 and the billions and millions in his command, it appeared in front of everybody that the king him self was there, giving the orders to the royal army to destroy the city accused of hiding the rebels. There was no mercy for the people of the village. They were thrown out of their homes and the "soldiers" were setting on fire everything left and right. Whoever, resisted was beaten on ground.
There was panic everywhere. The blazing fire was swallowing everything and it felt like the unbearable heat was feeding the fire even more.
While the panic caused by the "royal army" was spreading the soldiers disappeared the same it they appeared - without a trace!


*In-distinctive screams*
Man 1: "Put out the fire!"
Man 2: "The royal army set fire on the city and disappeared!"
Woman 1: "Help, my child is lost! Have you seen my child! Help!"
Man 3: "Put out the fires"

Beaten half dead, but barely in consciousness Kouza, the leader of the rebels, had his eyes full of tears. Tears out of sadness but also tears out of frustration and pure hate towards king Cobra. The men around him were helping him to stand. Biting his lips to blood Kouza was barely swallowing the screams in his throat. What break him fully was the sight of a beaten boy, covered in blood. Witnessing all that Kouza snapped, pushed the man supporting him to the side and limping went and pick up the kid on his lab while covering his bloody face with hand.

Kouza:
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh" - scream loud enough to split the sky in two, echoed in the area - "This is it!" - continued Kouza while standing and holding the kid in hands - "Listen rebel army! The Alabasta you know is dead! This will be our final battle! We will crush Alubarna! We are betting everything on this attack! The king must be brought down!"

Crowd in one voice: "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Time for new king! Time to build a new kingdom!"

With that speech the start of the massive advance of the rebel was given. Picking more subordinates travelling towards the capital, the rebel army was numbering 700 000 strong.

Few hours later during the night Mr. 4 and Mrs Merry Christmas

Following the mission given to them by Mr. 0 the two baroque works officers approached the palace in the shadow of the night. Using her hybrid form of her Devil Fruit Miss Merry Christmas (MMC) was digging a tunnel under the palace aiming in a point of the yard closest to King Cobras bed chambers.

MMC:
"We are the only one capable of kidnapping the king. Do you know what to do Mr. 4?"
Mr.4: "Y..................es!"
*dig, dig, dig*
MMC: "Damn you're so slow! Ah we have arrived"

Since most of the guards were on post on the outer wall preparing for the escalating rebellion the inside security was loose. Even Chaka was concerned for the outer security of the walls and gave a round on the walls to make sure everything was on place, not considering the possibility that the danger was coming from beneath.


Coming out of the hole MMC show only her head seeing two guards next to the hall entrance.
MMC jumped out grabbed the two guards and dragged them underground while digging, bringing them towards the tunnel where Mr. 4 was waiting. Approaching Mr. 4 , MMC shouted to her partner.

MMC:
"Molehill Intersection Number 4!"

Hearing the go signal Mr.4 swing his 4 ton bat and knocked out the both guards at once.

Mr.4:
"Fwaaaaah, fwaaaaah, fwaaaaah!"
MMC: "Arent you strong one Mr. 4! Aaaah my back hurts! Backhurt! -Ba-"

Following the same procedure and great team work MMC and Mr.4 had no problem reaching the loosen guard of the inside court. Getting in Cobras bed chambers MMC and Mr.4 Swiftly knocked out the king and dragged him in to the tunnels dug earlier. Bringing him in a secure place on the hills close to South Entrance Block.

Upon reaching the designated place MMC pulled out a den den mushi and contacted Crocodile to report for the success of the mission.

MMC:
"Mr.0 king Cobra is secured."
Mr. 0: "Great job, now we can proceed with the next phase of the plan. Stay on guard" *catcha*

MMC: "Now that this is finished there is nothing to do... Aint that right Mr.4"
Mr.4: "Y................es"
MMC: "DAMN YOU ARE SO SLOW! Aaaah my back hurts! Backhurt! -Ba-"


Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger

Mr.1:
"I hope that dumb ass freak ballerina doesn't screw up!" - said Mr.1 with a clod-hearth voice filled with a bit of despise towards Mr.2 since they were not getting along well.
Miss Doublefinger:
"He might be weird, fooling people by his appearance is his forte! As long as the rebellion starts and the kigdom takes the final turn to hell, there will be no going back! Especially with the extra preparations made"

Finishing her sentence Miss Doublefinger took a big puff from her long thin tobacco pipe hold in her right arm and spinning two keys on her sharp index finger on her left hand!

In the mean time in his hideout in Alubarna, close to the main entrance of the royal palace, Crocodile was still enjoying the good news having another one of his drinks.
Crocodile:
"Everything is going according to plan. Nothing will stop it now! Even something happens the reserve plan is place!"

Finishing the sentence Crocodile started laughing with closed mouth - "Mh mh mh, mh mh mh mh" - then slowly escalating in to a full out loud hysterical laugh - "Ahahahahah, ahahahahah, aaaahahahahah! This pathetic kingdom, will die! Ahahahahah!"

Alright, it's time you guys moved out. Don't want the guards to stop you at the gate. Larsi waved them off, before pulling his coat over his head, in preparation for the sun he knew to be coming. Koujiro, who had been mostly silent this whole time, tapped Eve and Drago on the shoulders. Let's go to the Eastern Block then,

With that, he walked off towards the city, not waiting any longer for them to follow. The sun was almost starting to creep over the horizon. A few minutes later he reached the steps leading up to the city. Walking up them, he quickly found himself in the city. Crossing the quiet street, he sat down on the ground next to a building, waiting for the others two to arrive. Once they both arrived, he would follow them to the Eastern Block.'

Straw went to Larsi and received the transponder snail. Okay, is my team ready? Larsi, we’ll be in touch when we find Crocodile. Then we shall see you guys! Straw was waiting for his team on what the best decision would be and would just go with them.

Seeing Koujiro move out, Musashi quickly followed suit and grabbed Straws hand while signaling to Yamamoto to follow them. We shall start from the West Block and move towards the center where we can group with the other team. They didn't have to walk much before reaching the giant steps that led into the capital, being careful so Straw wouldn't fall, Musashi lifted him up in his arms and quickly dashed up- stopping just outside the city and wait for Yamamoto to catch up before entering.

As the teams slowly moved out to perform their tasks, Minuano quietly sat there, observing everything. With a deep breath he picked up a nearby stone and with it started to rub it against the cold steel of his blade Murasama. Today would be a big day...if things goes according to plan he would face off with a Shichibukai.

"Wait guys . . . !!! Wait for me . . . !!!", said Yamamoto when he saw that Mushashi and Straw headings out, full of speed. He then follow them running, trying not fall to far behind.

"Why don't you people slow down a little! You kicked some dust back here if you run like that!".

"Cough . . . Cough . . . Cough . . . The dust is covering my face now! Damn it!",
said him while coughing. "You guys really have no chill at all!".

"What is the rush anyway??".

Eve felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Koujiro who immediately said Let's go to the Eastern Block. Eve and Drago both agreed and prepared to move inside the city towards the Eastern Block. We will get in touch with you if we find something Captain!

You have the transponder snail, right Drago?
The sun was starting to feel hot on Eve's face. Damn, I wish I had something to cover that sun. Important is that we don't attract any attention to ourself. We're here to figure out where Crocodile is and thats it. Drago especially for you, don't do anything stupid! As they slowly moved towards the eastern block Eve had a feeling they were being watched. Was it just a fake feeling?

Yamamoto-san you have to realise that we are trying to perform a hit and run mission here Musashi spoke before moving inside the city we are here to topple the Shichibukai who is the hero of this country, we can't linger around and risk getting caught he continued as he slowly observed his surrounding while moving deeper inside. It was still pretty early in the morning and there was barely anyone on the streets. To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Musashi covered his swords and hid them under his coat.

Drago felt a tap on his shoulder, he looked to see Koujiro telling them that they were moving to the Eastern Block.
Sallucion said:

Aye, I do. It's in my right pocket. Drago took out the transporder snail to show to Eve that he had it. He then put it back in his pocket.

Sallucion said:

Yeah, yeah I won't, you don't have to worry about me. Drago said a little annoyed at having someone look out for him like this. Hardly 10 seconds in to moving towards there destination, Drago was sweating like a mad man. Jesus Christ, this heat is trippin'!
Come on guys, let's pick up the pace here, or else we're gonna die of heat stroke.

"*huuuuu* THE KING IS MISSING!!" Chaka said while out of breath to pell who just landed on the windowsill with a shocked face.

"What? How did this happen? Weren't you with him? Actually never mind that now. We must find him and a giant has been spotted near the Eastern Block." Pell asked still remaining on the windowsill like that was his natural state.

"The Pirate is in Alubarna? Do you think it is connected? This is an absolute crisis, added to the fact that we have no idea what the rebels are up to." Chaka said.

"Search the castle, find the king and don't let word spread outside of the castle walls!" Pell ordered the Royal Guards. "Let us confront the giant," Pell said to Chaka

Chaka transformed into jackal and was off towards the Eastern block, Similarly, Pell flew over Chaka towards the direction a giant has been spotted.
