The atmosphere in the room grew tense as Crocodile’s brows furrowed in confusion.
“Shitty restaurant...!?” he muttered, his deep voice echoing in the now-silent space.
“Oh? Judging from that tone, it sounds like you still remember me. I’m touched, really…” A familiar voice crackled through the speaker system, rich with a smug amusement that dripped from every word.
Sweat dripped down Usopp's face as he darted his eyes around the room, his voice shaky with disbelief. “Did… did you hear that voice just now…?!”
Nami’s eyes widened in realization, her breath catching in her throat. “The shitty restaurant...!? Could it be...!?”
Y/N’s lips curled into a grin, eyes gleaming with knowing amusement. “Who else likes to act cool like that?”
“SAN—” Luffy’s shout was abruptly muffled as Usopp slammed his hand over his captain’s mouth in a panic.
“Wait, Luffy! B.W. might not know about him yet!” Usopp hissed urgently, trying to keep Luffy quiet.
Crocodile’s cold eyes narrowed in suspicion as he glanced at the Den Den Mushi. “Just who the hell are you...?”
The voice on the other end let out a low chuckle. “Me? Well... call me Mr. Prince.”
Crocodile’s fingers twitched with impatience. “Well, Mr. Prince… where are you right now?”
A smirk was almost audible through the speaker. “Oh, I can’t tell you that. If I did, you’d come to kill me, wouldn’t you?”
The tension in the room thickened as Crocodile’s eyes darkened. The voice continued, unfazed. “And, setting aside whether or not you could even kill me, unlike you, Mr. 0, I’m not stupid enough to give away such vital information…”
“PRINCE! HELP US! WE’VE BEEN CAUGHT, AND WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!” Usopp’s desperate shout cut through the room, his panic palpable.
“Guess my crew’s over there…” The voice softened with slight amusement. “Well then, I should head ov—”
BANG! A gunshot ripped through the air, the sound reverberating in the enclosed space.
“Hah… hah… Tough son of a gun…” A new voice, breathless but triumphant, cut through the tension.
"Wha—?" Crocodile's cold eyes flickered with brief surprise.
The new voice continued, more composed this time. “Hello? I’ve apprehended a weird male attacker.”
Crocodile’s jaw clenched as he growled, “Where are you?”
The voice paused, sounding unsure. “Uhh… Right outside the front entrance of the Rain Dinners Casino…”
“Moron…!” Y/N groaned, smacking a hand to his face in frustration.
Zoro gritted his teeth, his fists clenched. “Are you kidding me!? God, that loser’s useless! He better be alive at least!”
“SANJIII!” Luffy yelled, his voice booming with both panic and hope.
“FULL PANIC MODE! PANIC! PANIC!” Usopp darted around the cage, his arms flailing as he screamed in terror.
“Our last hope…” Nami clasped her hands together, her eyes shining with a mixture of hope and desperation.
Crocodile’s low laughter filled the room, dark and menacing. “Hahahaha! Perfect! Let’s go to the front entrance.”
Ms. All Sunday’s calm voice interrupted his laughter. “Are you sure? The Millions still don’t know who their boss is.”
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as the bananadile slammed into the staircase, shaking the entire room. Vivi barely managed to leap away, her body trembling with exertion as she grabbed onto the ledge for dear life.
