The sky shimmered with the aftermath of the explosion, the flames fading into the horizon. Everyone stood frozen in disbelief, eyes wide and hearts pounding as the blast slowly dissipated.
“That son of a gun…” Sanji muttered, his voice hollow, eyes glued to the sky where the explosion once roared. His cigarette hung loosely from his lips, forgotten in the shock.
“He… protected the country…” Nami whispered, placing a trembling hand over her mouth, her eyes glossy with the weight of Pell’s sacrifice.
Y/N clenched his fists, his jaw tight as he pointed towards the battlefield. “Look…” he gritted through his teeth, “the warriors…”
Usopp, drenched in sweat and still panting, stared at the chaos unfolding before them. “You’ve gotta be kidding me…” His voice was a mix of disbelief and exhaustion.
Despite Pell’s noble sacrifice to protect them all from the bomb, the fighters on both sides of the conflict continued their senseless struggle, blinded by their rage, deaf to the heroism that had just saved their lives. The clash of weapons and war cries filled the air, drowning out the significance of what had just happened.
“PLEASE! STOP FIGHTING! PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!” Vivi’s desperate cry pierced the madness, her voice raw and echoing across the battlefield, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
“Vivi…” Zoro mumbled under his breath, his expression darkening as he watched her struggle to be heard.
“PLEASE STOP FIGHTING! PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!” Vivi’s voice cracked, her desperation palpable, each scream more heart-wrenching than the last. Tears mixed with the dust and sweat on her face, but she didn’t care—her people were dying, and no one was listening.
Nami bit her lip so hard it nearly bled. “You dummy…” she muttered under her breath, her emotions boiling over. She suddenly lunged at Usopp, slamming into him with a fiery determination.
“What’re you all just standing around for!?” she shouted at the group, her voice sharp with urgency and frustration.
“W-What was that for!?” Usopp groaned, rubbing his side where she had hit him.
“I don’t care if we have to punch or kick them—we’ve gotta stop the rebellion!” Nami’s voice wavered as she turned, grabbing onto Y/N’s shirt, her eyes brimming with tears. “Come on! Even if we can stop just one more casualty… we’ve got to do something!”
Y/N’s eyes flickered with a mix of sorrow and resolve as he glanced down at her, then up at the towering clock. His heart pounded in his chest, but his mind was already racing ahead, plotting their next move. He stayed silent, the weight of the situation settling over him like a heavy shroud.
“PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!” Vivi screamed again, her voice hoarse, barely more than a rasp now.
The Straw Hats sprang into action, each one engaging in the fight to bring it to an end. They attacked both sides, trying desperately to stop the bloodshed by any means necessary. Y/N paused for a moment, his attention drawn to the sky.
“Hey, guys! Up there! Isn’t that…” he called out, his voice trailing off in disbelief.
All the Straw Hats froze, their heads snapping upward as they looked into the sky.
“...!!”
“CROCODILE!!?” The name escaped all their lips at once, a collective gasp of shock and confusion.
“I don’t have a clue why he suddenly popped up there, but… T-That must mean…!” Sanji trembled, his entire body tensing.
“HE WOOOON!!!” They all shouted in unison, a mixture of disbelief and elation coursing through them. Hope flickered back into their tired eyes.
