Willow chuckled, "Is it such a surprise, Princess?" he asked as he sat me in a chair beside my twin, "I trust you both will be comfortable there. I must say, your timing is perfect, the party is about to begin." Crocodile remarked as Willow moved to stand beside Crocodile, "Isn't that right, my son?" Crocodile added as Willow smirked, "Yes it is, Father." Willow said. The crew gasped from their cell, "Party?" Shae asked in confusion. Ms. All Sunday checked the time, "It's exactly noon right now. Time for Operation Utopia." she said.

"Huh? Utopia?" Nami asked in confusion. Luffy blinked, "What's an Operation Utopia?" he asked. Crocodile and Willow looked at each other and both chuckled. As I examined them, I noticed how obvious it was. Despite having red hair, Willow was built similiar to Crocodile; he even looked like him, not exact, but similiar. Their chuckling developed into full on laughter, "Hey!" Luffy called to Crocodile. When their laughter died, Willow turned to the crew as Crocodile smirked at me and my twin, "It will mean the demise of the Kingdom of Alabasta." Willow explained, "Ms. Wednesday and Ms. Halloween." Crocodile added.

My twin and I glared at Crocodile as he continued, "I'm going to wipe it off the face of the map, as if it never was." he boasted. Vivi and I gasped, "No!" I cried. Crocodile gave me a nasty grin, "All people, great and small, will be sucked into eternal darkness as they writhe in agony! Let Operation Utopia...begin!" he finished and laughed manically. I was stunned! He's going to destroy our home?! I can't allow it! I need to do something! I thought desparately to myself, "Damn you!" I shouted at Crocodile, "Just what is it you think you're going to do to Alabasta?" I demanded.

"Heh. Princesses, would you both like to know what kind of people I despise above all others?" Crocodile asked, rhetorically. I swallowed, "Those pious hypocrites who bleat endlessly about the 'happiness of the people'." he answered his own question, "You plan to kill our father?" Vivi asked and I snorted, "You'll be dead before you could get close to him!" I snapped. Crocodile looked down at me, "You needn't shout. I'm not going to touch a hair on his head. He's not even worth killing. Instead, I shall let him taste a humiliation that is far crueler than death." Crocodile said in a dnagerous tone.

"What's crueler than death?" Usopp asked as Vivi and I glared at Crocodile. Crocodile chuckled, "That's such an unladylike expression you both have there, Your Highnesses." he smirked, "We demand that you tell us: What is this Operation Utopia?" Vivi demanded beside me, "Answer her, damn it!" I commanded. Willow raised a brow at us from beside his father, "You demand? Now, now, perhaps you need to review your current situation." Willow remarked, "Just answer us!" I shouted, "You're courageous young women." Crocodile complimented.

Willow looked at Crocodile, "Well, why not, Dad? The operation is already underway." Willow pointed out. Crocodile looked at his son and nodded, "Very well, son." Crocodile agreed and looked at me and Vivi again, "I'll tell you both about my plan to end this country. About Operation Utopia." Crocodile finally complied.

Crocodile laughed at the looks he received from me and my twin. He had just finished telling us his plan for Alabasta, and I felt my blood boiling as I glared at him, "That's horrible." Shae said in shock as Crocodile's laughing stopped, "Well? Do you like it? The operation you both once participated in is now reaching fruition. If you listen closely, I wager you can hear the howls of the kingdom, all of them screaming." he said and mocked what he imagined everyone shouting.
