The Rebellion Ends:
-x-
Luffy had finally defeated Crocodile and the sudden rain was enough to stop the fighting in the square long enough for the soldiers to hear Vivi's voice rom up in the clock tower.
"Our nightmares aren't over, Princess!" one of the rebels protested. "Not yet!"
"He's right!" another rebel agreed. "I wish what happened was a nightmare but it was real!"
"We want justice!" a third rebel exclaimed. "We saw King Cobra attack Nanohana with our own eyes! And those damn royals shot Koza too! You expect us to just forgive them? AFTER WHAT THEY DID?"
"Our nightmares will only be over once we've killed every Royal in this country!" a particularly blood-thirsty rebel called out.
Vivi watched in horror as the rebels raised their weapons and prepared to resume fighting.
"ROYAL ARMY! DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" a familiar voice shouted. The Royal Army turned and saw Chaka standing on top of the Royal Palace's outer wall.
"Up there!" a royal soldier pointed out as he drew everyone's attention to the Acting Captain of the Royal Guard.
"Chaka..." Vivi whispered.
"Is he serious?" a royal soldier wondered.
SWOOOSH! "CAAWW!" A falcon cried and both armies looked up in time to see Pell fly overhead and land on top of the wall next to Chaka.
"Pell..." Chaka said as his fellow Royal Guard stood beside him and reverted to his human form.
"He speaks the truth Royal Army!" Pell addressed the men in the square. "Lower your weapons and surrender now! This battle is over!"
"Listen to them," came a new voice. "Maa maaa maaaaa!" Everyone turned and stared in shock when they saw a familiar man in a fancy suit and white hair that looked like a English wig with rollers. "That goes for you too Rebel Army."
"IGARAM!" a royal soldier exclaimed when they saw the former Captain of the Royal Guard standing there with the wounded boy Kappa in his arms. "Captain!"
Up in the clock tower, Vivi's eyes went wide and filled with tears when she saw her guardian alive and well. He'd somehow survived the explosion when Ms. All Sunday blew up his ship after he'd set out from Whisky Peak.
"Igaram..." the Princess practically sobbed.
"Vivi's letter said that he was dead," Pell reminded Chaka.
"But he made it back," Chaka realized.
Vivi was instantly racing down the stairs from the top of the clock tower.
"May we meet again in our homeland." Those had been Igaram's final words to her. He had been dressed up as her decoy and was planning to lead the Baroque Works Agents off of their trail. But the trick hadn't worked and Ms. All Sunday quickly dealt with him and caught up with the Straw Hats. Vivi had thought he was dead and that she'd never see him again. But he was alive. Chaka, Pell, Igaram, all three of them had survived the battle with Baroque Works.
"Hey, it's that cross-dressing guy from Whisky Peak," Zoro realized as he and the other Straw Hats stared in surprise at the returning Captain of the Royal Guard.
"He's still alive!" Nami exclaimed.
"Hey, who is that guy?" Chopper asked.
"He used to be Mr. 8," Ayako informed him. "He and the Princess infiltrated Baroque Works together and became Frontier Agents. Your friends met him two islands before they met you."
