On the square in front of the Albana Palace.

The sound of the fight was deafening.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the rebels, the fighting became more and more fierce.

Every second, someone falls to the ground injured.

And falling to the ground basically means death.

Compared to the storm in the square, there was a deathly silence in the palace courtyard, which could only be reached by a long staircase.

Clocodall, dressed in an overcoat, stood tall in the courtyard.

In front of him was the king of Alabastan, Kobra, who was nailed to the wall with iron nails.

"Goohaha, in ten minutes, the whole square and this courtyard will be blown up, and by then...... A new king of the land of sand will be born! ”

Klockdahl sneered at the bloodied Cobra who couldn't move.

The earth-shattering sound of fighting from behind him reminded him that the plan was going well.

The high-spirited Klockdahl did not know that his senior agents had been defeated one by one.

I didn't know that in the bell tower where the special bomb was arranged, there was a man who should feel jealous like him.

Now, all he wants is to justifiably take the throne of Kobra.

Then use Robin's ability to decipher ancient texts to find out the deepest secret buried in this country - the ancient weapon Hades!

And all of this is about to be within reach.

"Is it irretrievable......"

Kobra gritted his teeth and looked at the smirkling Klockdahl.

The guilt of the people and the powerlessness of not being able to turn the tide are like a sharp sword, constantly stabbing him in the heart.

Click-Click

Robin walked out of the palace.

His eyes swept over several members of the King's Guard, who were seriously injured and unconscious, Kobra, who was pinned to the wall, and finally looked at Klockdal, who was in high spirits.

"It's really a lot of fighting down there, and the rebel reinforcements are still coming."

"Gohaha, they don't know that they are here to die, they are all gathered within the explosion range, so I don't have to go to great lengths to destroy the palace, just a bomb can solve these hidden dangers."

Klockdahl sneered, ignoring hundreds of thousands of lives.

When Kobra heard this, a bruise appeared on his face, and he wanted to swallow Klockdahl alive.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business."

Klockdahl slowly restrained his laughter, and looked coldly at the unwilling Kobra, and his tone could not hide the excitement.

"I've been planning for so long, not just to get the throne of the Sand Country, but what I really want...... It is an ancient weapon, the Hades!! ”

“！！！”

Kobra's face changed drastically, and he was shocked: "Klockdahl, you ......"

"Hmph, if you know each other, you can answer my next question well."

Klockdahl's eyes twinkled.

.........

There were still ten minutes left before the special bomb exploded.

A corner of the square.

Vivi was powerless to look at the brutal battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people.

No matter how heartbreaking her voice is, it will be drowned out by the sound of fighting in an instant.

No one...... Able to hear her voice.

In the face of a war of this magnitude, how powerless and insignificant she is.

In her power,

If you want to unilaterally stop this war, you are simply powerless.

Even if it was God, it would be the same result!

Vivi felt helpless.

But even if you can't stop the war, you have to find the bombs that Crocodall planted.

"Where? Where will it be? ”

Vivi racked her brains as she wondered where the bomb might be placed.

Then, as childhood memories came flooding back to her, she jerked to the bell tower, where the hour hand stopped at exactly twenty-five minutes.

That is, five minutes before the explosion.

Under the urgency of time, Vivi had no chance to make mistakes, so she could only firmly believe in her own judgment and go straight to the bell tower.

At the same time, the members of the Straw Hats who ended the battle gathered one after another.

There were only two minutes left in the explosion.

Except for Luffy, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates came behind Vivi.

"Great, everyone's okay......"

Wei Wei looked at her partners who were injured in battle, but still arrived in time, covering her mouth and holding back tears.

"Weiwei, how's it going?"

Nami, who was stained with a lot of blood on her body, asked about the situation as soon as possible.

Not long ago, she had a hard time overcoming Miss.'s fingers, but the thorny abilities of Miss.'s fingers pierced through several places on her body.

After the battle, she rushed to the vicinity of the square, and happened to meet Chopper and Zoro.

Under Chopper's treatment, although the wound was still very painful, the bleeding was finally stopped.

Hearing Nami's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Vivi.

Just as Vivi was about to explain, Sanji's angry roar rang out at an inopportune time.

"Why are you shemale bastards here!!"

Sanji, who woke up slowly, saw Feng Cree who kicked himself out of human form the moment he opened his eyes.

"Because...... Friendship with Luffy Jr.~! ”

Von Clay winked at Sanji.

Sanji was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that before he was kicked by Von Cray and almost fainted, Luffy fell from the sky.

What happened after that?

I vaguely remember that I seemed to be being held tightly in Von Cray's arms.

Now it seems that he was sent here.

"Ahem......"

After sorting out the general situation, Sanji made an evil mistake in his heart, suddenly covered his mouth, and coughed a few times, but he spit out a mouthful of thick blood.

Why don't you look like Nami-chan when you hug me!

Sanji shouted in his heart.

"Don't interrupt !!"

Nami glared at Sanji and Von Cree.

Immediately afterward, she looked at Von Clay in a daze.

On the other hand, the others, except for Sauron who was in a coma, also looked at Feng Cray in a daze.

"Why are you !! here?"

The crowd, who were full of thoughts on the bomb, after reacting, loudly questioned Von Cray.

Feng Clay happily circled in place, and said seriously: "I didn't tell you, it's because ...... Friendship! ”

“……”

There was silence for a while.

The crowd simply ignored Von Crey's presence.

"Ah, aren't you curious about how I 'reconciled' with Luffy?" Von Clay stopped spinning in circles, his eyes sparkling at the Straw Hats.

The crowd continued to ignore Von Cray.

Vivi explained the situation to her friends as quickly as she could.

Then, she looked up at the hour hand on the clock and bit her lip, "In less than two minutes, it's too late to climb the stairs, and I'm not entirely sure the bomb will be hidden in the bell tower!" ”

"There's no time to hesitate, it's too late to climb the stairs, but you can be sent up by unconventional means!" Nami made a quick decision.

"I can build a staircase with a barrier, but it's limited in length." Bartolomeo stepped up again at the crucial moment.

"It's okay, I'll leave it to me after that."

Sanji, who was only traumatized, picked up a cigarette and glanced at Sauron, who was still unconscious as he spoke.

"I'm here to help, too!"

Von Crey's weak voice came at the right time.

The crowd still ignored him, and the strategy was finalized in an instant.

At this point, there was still a minute left before the explosion.

Bartolomeo built a long ladder with a fluid barrier and erected it on the wall of the bell tower.

Sanji and von Clay send Vivi to the other end of the barrier ladder, and Bartolomeo builds a barrier underneath her.

Immediately after, Sanji and Vonkray kicked together on the barrier.

Vivi, who was sitting on the circular barrier, flew towards the bell tower.

"Go, Vivi!"

Sanji, who is in the air, and the Straw Hats, who are waiting on the ground, are shouting and cheering.

Just when everyone was emotional, the clock was slowly pushed away, revealing Maude's figure.

"Eh!!"

"Maude...... How could it be there!! ”

Everyone saw Maude holding a bomb in his hand, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"What are you looking for?"

Maud raised the bomb in his hand.

"As for the gunner, I have already killed him, but this bomb is timed...... Even if the gunner is killed, when the time is up, it will explode directly. ”

"Huh?"

Vivi's face changed, and she flew into the bell tower.

Maud looked back at Vivi, who had flown into the bell tower.

"Want to stop this?"
