Screen 1
Two days later, several Baroque Works agents gathered inside Spiders Cafe. One by one, the agents arrived: Mr. Four, Miss Merry Christmas, Mr. Two Bon Clay, Mr. Three, and Mr. One.
The atmosphere quickly became tense when Mr. One accidentally smashed part of the wall while entering. Mr. Two immediately started arguing with him, and the two nearly began fighting inside the cafe.
At that moment, Paula — who revealed herself as Miss Doublefinger — stepped in and told them to calm down and focus on their mission.
Nearby, Sonic quietly watched the scene from outside the building.
Hidden on a rooftop, Sonic looked through the window and said softly, "So these are the Baroque Works agents."
He folded his arms and continued watching their meeting carefully.
Screen 2
Luffy and the crew finally arrived at Yuba Town, but the place looked barren and empty. The desert wind blew through the ruined buildings, showing how badly the drought had affected the town.
An old man named Toto recognized Vivi immediately and greeted her as the princess of Alabasta.
Toto sadly explained that the Rebel Army had already left Yuba and moved toward Kuteriya. Many people believed the king had been using Dance Powder to control the rain, which caused the terrible drought across the land.
He also revealed that the leader of the rebels was his own son, Koza.
Sonic stood quietly nearby, looking across the empty town.
"This place used to be full of people, right?" Sonic said.
He looked at the dry ground and added, "Crocodile really turned this country against itself."
Screen 3
The Straw Hat crew stayed at Toto's house for the night, sharing food and resting after their long journey through the desert. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper caused their usual playful chaos while the others relaxed.
Meanwhile in Rainbase City, the Baroque Works agents gathered to meet Miss All Sunday. She revealed the truth about their leader — Mr. Zero was actually Crocodile.
Crocodile calmly explained his secret plan called "Mission Utopia," which aimed to completely destroy the kingdom of Alabasta and take control of it.
Mr. Three arrived and admitted he had failed to defeat Luffy and Vivi. Crocodile showed no mercy and punished him by throwing him to a giant crocodile.
After that, Crocodile ordered Mr. Two Bon Clay to take photos of Luffy's crew so Baroque Works agents could recognize them and stop them from reaching the rebel army.
Mr. Two managed to take pictures of most of the crew members.
But when he tried to photograph Sonic, the camera only captured empty air.
Sonic had already moved out of the frame at incredible speed.
Mr. Two looked at the blurry photo and said in confusion, "Where did that blue one go?"
Screen 4
The crew discussed their next move at Toto's house. The original plan was to go to Kuteriya and stop the rebel army before the civil war could begin.
But Luffy suddenly stopped and thought about the situation.
"If we only stop the rebels," Luffy said, "the real problem will still be there."
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Crocodile will just keep causing trouble," Luffy continued. "So we should defeat him directly."
Vivi hesitated at first, worried about the danger. But after thinking about the kingdom and its people, she finally agreed.
She pulled out a map and showed the crew the location of Rainbase City — the place where Crocodile lived.
Sonic looked at the map and smiled slightly.
"Going straight to the boss," Sonic said. "I like that plan."
Screen 5
Luffy and Usopp reached Rainbase first while the rest of the crew followed behind. As they walked through the busy streets, they suddenly ran into Captain Smoker, who had been tracking Luffy since Loguetown.
Smoker immediately tried to capture Luffy, and a chase quickly began through the streets of Rainbase as the Marines and Baroque Works agents started pursuing the crew.
Just as Smoker closed in, Sonic suddenly dashed between them.
Sonic stood in front of Smoker and said calmly, "You're not catching him today."
Smoker tried to grab him, but Sonic moved so fast that the smoke captain struggled to keep up.
While Smoker focused on Sonic, Luffy and Usopp used the chance to run deeper into the city.
Behind them, the Marines and Baroque Works agents continued the pursuit across Rainbase.
Screen 6
As the chaos in Rainbase continued, the Straw Hat crew split up to search for Crocodile's location.
Zoro and Sanji moved through the city streets, confronting Baroque Works agents and Navy soldiers. Tashigi soon crossed paths with Zoro, stopping him for a tense confrontation.
Elsewhere, Nami and Usopp tried to avoid Baroque Works agents while navigating the crowded streets.
Meanwhile, Sonic's fight with Smoker continued across the rooftops of Rainbase.
Smoker turned his body into smoke and rushed forward, trying to trap Sonic. But Sonic moved too quickly, dashing from rooftop to rooftop and avoiding the smoke attacks.
Sonic looked back at Smoker and said, "You're strong… but catching me isn't going to be easy."
Screen 7
Luffy, Usopp, Nami, and Zoro finally reached Crocodile's casino in Rainbase. Inside the building, they followed a path meant for pirates, thinking it would lead them closer to Crocodile.
But it was actually a trap.
Suddenly the floor opened beneath them, and they fell into a special jail cell made of sea-prism stone, which weakened Devil Fruit users and prevented escape.
At the same time, Smoker was still chasing them and ended up falling into the same trap as well.
Sonic rushed in right behind them while moving through the casino, but the trap triggered again.
The ground opened and Sonic dropped into the cell with the others.
Landing on his feet, Sonic looked around the stone prison and sighed.
"Yeah… that was definitely a trap."
