Book One: Treasure of the Heart (Zoro X OC)

Chapter Forty Eight ~ Mister Prince

~Third~

"Damn you just what is it you think you're going to do to Alabasta?"Vivi asked Crocodile "Princess would you like to know what kind of people i despise above all others? Those pious hypocrites who bleed endlessly about the happiness of the people"he replied "You plan to kill my father? You'll be dead before you get close to him!"Vivi yelled at him.

"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 humiliation that is far crueler then death"Crocodile said "What's crueler then death?"Usopp asked, Vivi was absolutely furious with Crocodile, he just chuckled "That's such an unladylike expression you have there your highness"he said "I demand that you tell me what is this operation Utopia? Answer me!"Vivi said "You demand? Now now perhaps you need to review your current situation"Crocodile said.

"I SAID ANSWER ME!!!"Vivi yelled at him "You're a courageous young woman, well why not the operation is already underway, very well i will tell you about my plan to end this country, about operation Utopia"Crocodile said.

Crocodile laughed as he had finished explaining his plan in detail "That's horrifying"Nami said, something still didn't sit quite right with Nicole, Crocodile wasn't telling everything, sure creating chaos for chaos's sake seemed like something Crocodile would do but just something kept bugging her.

"Well do you like it? The operation you once participated in is now reaching fruition, if you listen closely i wager could hear the howls of the kingdom, they all scream the same thing, protect Alabasta, protect Alabasta, protect Alabasta"Crocodile said "STOP IT!!!How are you so cruel?!" Vivi yelled cutting him off, Crocodile just chuckled "It's heartbreaking isn't it? Their love for their kingdom will be what destroys it"Crocodile said.

Luffy yelled and tried to attack him but he couldn't do anything about the sea prism stone cell as much as he tried to squeeze through them "Is he stupid? Did he hear what i said before?"Smoker said "He's definitely stupid but that's also the reason he's our captain"Zoro said, Nicole nodded in agreement "Crocodile i'm so gonna kick your ass"Luffy said.

"You know what i've had to make so many moves to be able to get to this point, the sabotage to inflame the citizens, manipulating the royal army, you have any idea why i'd go to such lengths? To destroy this country?"Crocodile asked "As if i'd understand anything inside your foul mind"Vivi said "You've got a pretty sharp tongue for a princess don't ya?"Crocodile said.

Vivi forced the chair she was in to fall over "Now now what are you trying to do miss Wednesday?"Crocodile asked "I'm going to stop you, there's still time if i can just get to Alubarna east of here, if i get there before the rebel army i maybe able to stop them, i'll never give up while there's a chance"Vivi said crawling east.

Crocodile chuckled at her "Somehow i'm going to stop you watch you won't get away with this"Vivi said "You can quit fooling around now, what a coincidence we were just about to head to Alubarna ourselves miss Wednesday, if you'd like to come with us princess then please do or you can try and save them"Crocodile said showing Vivi the key to the cell her friends plus Smoker was in "The key"Vivi said "The key to this cell?"Luffy asked.

"Hey! Give it!"Luffy yelled but Crocodile instead dropped the key and just as Vivi broke the rope tying her hands Crocodile opened a trap door and the key fell into an area that was underwater "It won't be too long until the rebels and the royal army begin their fight to the death, even if you hurry to Alubarna from here who knows if you make it in time, to stop the rebellion you need to leave at once miss Wednesday, will you do that or try and save your friends instead? It's your choice but if you choose the latter it doesn't help that i accidentally dropped the key into the Bananagator's den"Crocodile said.
