( Alabasta Arc )
"Are you serous?!" Usopp cried out in shock after Vivi finished explaining the Warlords sinister plan "In ten minutes this place is really going to blow up!"
"Yes! Four thirty is when it goes!" Vivi nodded sharply.
"That's soon!" Nami gasped. Ashe flicked off some build up at the end of her cigarette before taking another deep drag. Her right foot tapped nervously against the ground, leg bouncing, before she crossed her arms across her chest.
"According to what Crocodile said, if the cannon is shot then no one within five kilometres will survive" the princess added quickly.
"Five kilometres?!" The navigator cried out "then that means..."
"Both the rebel and royal armies will be complete wiped out!" Chopper gasped.
"That damn Crocodile" Sanji growled around his own cigarette, his visible eye narrowing.
"What the hell are we supposed to do?!" Usopp yelled.
"We find the cannon" Zoros pointed out sharply "we stop the cannoneer from shooting!"
"Okay but how do we find him?!" Usopp snapped back.
"And in ten minutes" Nami added.
"Well not by standing around here!" The swordsman barked. Ashe dropped her smoke and stubbed it out with the heel of her boot quickly.
"If everyone in the area is going to exploded then the cannon guys has to be far away! Doesn't he? Or else he'd just blow up with the rest of them!" Usopp yelled.
"Now way!" Vivi interrupted "No, he's close! The cannoneer is almost certainly near the palace square!"
"What?!" The sniper gasped "Are you serous Vivi? The means he's going to be caught in the explosion too!"
"That shouldn't be surprising!" Nami seethed "It is Crocodile"
"What?!" The doctor gasped "he's just going to let his own man die?"
"He just plain evil" The chef hissed.
"Ashe!" Vivi called as she took a quick step towards the older woman "You said you've done something like this before! If you were gonna blow up the square, where would you put the cannon!"
"I was talking about blowing up buildings ,not overthrowing countries!" Ashe barked back "and a cannon and C4 are completely different things! Hate to say it but I don't think I'm much help here"
"Wait a second?" Usopp hummed as he stared up at the gunslinger, completely missing the point "you've over thrown a country?"
"Almost did a couple years ago but that was by accident, that's also completely off topic!" She hissed back at him with her hands on her hips. The boy raised his hands in an 'I surrender' motions as he stepped backward.
"Come one, lets go!" Zoro growled before his eyes widened suddenly. He and Pell quickly drew their swords while Ashe slung her rifle over her shoulder and aimed at the man that was running straight at Vivi with his weapon raised. As soon as he came through the fog Sanji lashed out and kicked him in the face, shattering his teeth and nose, while Zoro blocked his sword. Vivi gasped. Ashe lowered her rifle, but didn't let go of it. The attacker, obviously a Baroque Works agent, crumpled to the ground in a pathetic heap. More agents crowded the street around them. They leered at the smaller group as they raised their weapons and readied themselves to attack.
