Your POV:

Vivi: IT'S A SANDSTORM ! YUBA'S BEING HIT BY A SANDSTORM !!

Vivi: Oh my god...

"Talk about a warm welcome... frankly, I don't really see any difference with Elmar..."

Luffy: Where's the water ?!!

Sanji: Wasn't this supposed to be an oasis town, Vivi ?

Vivi: Look at all this sand... It has swallowed the oasis up !

???: Travelers, eh ? Well the, you must be awfully tired. Sorry to tell you folks this town's a little bit dried up right now.

Toto: But you folks still ought to rest here for the night. We've got plenty of inns and rooms to spare... That's one of the things Yuba's known for.

Vivi: Umm... Excuse me, but I have heard the rebel forces were using this town as a base, is that tr-

Toto: You have business with the rebels ? DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE ANOTHER BUNCH OF DEGENERATES THAT WANT TO JOIN THEN !!

Luffy: AHHHH ! W- WHAT'S WITH THIS OLD MAN FLIPPING OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN ?!!

Toto: Those fools... Are no longer in this town... !

"It can't be... We crossed that desert for nothing..."

Toto: You saw the sandstorm just now, didn't you... Well,let me tell you that sandstorm wasn't the first one this town had... Ever since the drought started 3 years ago, this town's been regularly hit by sandstorms ! And because of that, the oasis is now in the sorry state you see before you. Trade caravans have stopped coming here, and the rebels realized they couldn't hold out here any longer. So they relocated to Katoera and set up their man base there.

Vivi: KATOERA ?!!

"I feel like I've heard that name before, and I don't like it. Vivi ?"

Vivi: I- It's the oasis town beside Nanohana !

Luffy: BESIDE NANOHANA ?!

Zoro: Then what the hell did we come all the way out here for ?!

Toto: Vivi... ? Did you say Vivi just now... ?

Luffy: S- SHE'S NOT PRINCESS VIVI IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING !!

Zoro: SHUT UP !!

Toto: Vivi ? Princess Vivi, is that really you... ?

Vivi: Umm... No, I'm not...

Toto: I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE ! IT'S ME ! DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME ?!! Guess I can't blame you, I did lose quite a bit of weight...

Vivi: Is... Is that you, Toto ?

Toto: Yes... ! Vivi... I still believe... I still believe in the king ! He's not the type that could ever betray his country and subjects... ! I'm right, aren't I ?! THOSE REBELS ARE ALL OUT OF THEIR MINDS ! PLEASE ! YOU HAVE TO STOP THEM... ! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN !!

Vivi: Toto...

*One Flashback later*

Toto: So what if there hasn't been any rain for the past 3 years ?! I still believe in the king ! And I'm sure most of the other citizens still do too ! I tried and tried... Honest to god, I tried so hard to stop them... But nothing I said was of any use, those rebels just won't stop... But their supplies are running low and they know they can't hold out for much longer...

Toto: That's why they're planing on settling things once and for all in their next offensive ! They've lost their minds... ! THEY'RE PRACTICALLY SUICIDAL AT THIS POINT !! Please, Vivi... You have to stop those fools... !

Rebels: Weapons ?

Rebel: It's not much but we managed to score this much at least... Where's Kouza ?

Rebel: He's inside... What's the matter ? You seem to be spacing out...

Kouza: This country... has gone mad.

Vivi: Toto... Please don't worry anymore. I'll stop the rebels no matter what !

Toto: Vivi... T... Thank you, Vivi !

Usopp: Good work, crew ! You must all be exhausted by now so why don't we all get some rest, so we have enough energy for tomorrow ?

Zoro: Some talk comin' from someone who was sleeping until now !

Usopp: Ack ! Yeah, that's right ! I passed out because I was freakin' exhausted ! You got a problem with that ?! Sorry I'm not freakishly strong like you monsters !!

Zoro: Ugh ! Oh, so it's a fight you want, is that it... ?

Usopp: And don't just insult me for passing out when blue-nose over there takes the top prize for that today !

Chopper: Agh ! I TOLD YOU I'M NOT GOOD WITH HEAT !!

Vivi: Umm, Sanji, this is my bed...

Sanji: Oh, I assumed you might need someone to comfort you while you sleep so I-

Usopp: And what the hell do you think you're doing over there ?!

Sanji: Hey ! Who just threw that pillow ! You've got some guts ?!

Usopp: SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET A LITTLE SHUT-EYE HERE !

Zoro: OH THAT'S IT ! YOU'RE ALL ONNNNN !!

"What the hell is happening in he- *POOMPH*"

All: ... ... ... ... ...

"... Always remember... You guys asked for this. GASTER PILLOW GOLEM !!!"

Luffy: They're making a lot of noise... Hey old man ! I still don't see any water ! My throat's soooo dry. I'm surprised you can manage to survive in a place like this.

Toto: The water will come... The Yuba oasis is still alive. Yuba won't be defeated by the likes of sand... I'll dig the oasis back up as many times as it takes... Because this is the land the king himself specially entrusted to me !

Luffy: ... Hmm... Alright ! Let's keep digging !

Toto: HEY STOP ! You're getting all the sand in my hole ! Are you TRYING to fill my hole ?

Luffy: Hm ? No, I'm trying to dig.

Toto: Yes I know that but you're getting sand in my hole ! There's no point in digging if you're also going to fill up the very hole I dug already !

Luffy: ... ... ... ... Ooooh... So your hole is some kinda magic hole, is that what you're saying ?

Toto: NO !!

"He really gave it its all, didn't he ? He always does."

Toto: He really is a good boy. I can see why the princess trust him. What's up with those wounds... ?

"... I won."

2: STOOOP, JOOOKING AROUND ! How long is he planning on makins us wait ?! The least he could do is give us an octofait in the meanwhile ! Well, I'm just going to stand here and spin ! Spin, spin, spin like a beauuutiful swan !

Doublefinger: Mr.2, could you please just wait quietly ?

Merrychristmas: That'sright ! All yer'yappinismakinmyhipsachetohell !

4: Fo... Fo... Fo... Fo...

Doublefinger: That goes for you too, Ms. Merrychristmas

Allsunday: Fufufu... I suppose asking you to all get along is impossible. Then again, there's no need for that either...

Doublefinger: Ms. Allsunday...

2: Oh heeellooo there, Sunday ! How ya doin' ?!

Merrychristmas: Didn'tItellyoutopipedownidiot ?!

Allsunday: Thank you all for taking the long trip out here for this meeting. It's quite a rare sight seeing you officer agents all gathered in one place.

1: Where exactly are we, Ms. Allsunday ?

Allsunday: Oh, that's right. You don't know because Banchi brought you here using the back door... I'm sure you've all heard of it before though. The city where travelers come to gamble in hopes of getting rich... I welcome you officer agents to Rainbase, the city of dreams... And the building you're in right now, is sitting right in the middle of the Rainbase oasis. Rain Dinners, The largest casino in Rainbase... !

Allsunday: If you have no further questions, then let's get the meeting underway.

Merrychristmas: Finebyme ! Startthedamnmeetingalready ! Start ! Begin ! Go !

Allsunday: But of course, there's someone I must introduce to you before that... The boss whom you've known nothing about except his codename... Until now, I've been acting on his behalf to keep his identity a secret, but there's no longer a need for that... You understand why, don't you ?

???: The end is near, that's why...

All: WHA ?!

Diavolo: Bucciarati turned against me, we need to-

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Giovanni: I do hope you're gonna capture that Pikachu-

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

"Sup', bitches-"

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Crocodile: Operation. Utopia. That is the name of the final plan, we, Baroque Works, shall carry out.

All: WHAT ?! CROCODILE ?!!!

Allsunday: Ah, good. So you're all already familiar with the man himself.

Merrychristmas: We've got a real big-name here now...

Doublefinger: Of course we know him ! But more importantly, why would one of the Shichibukai be...

2: SO WE WERE FOLLOWING A PIRATE'S ORDERS ALL ALONG ?!

4: Fo...

1: You're our boss... ?

Crocodile: Any complaints ?

Doublefinger: We're not complaining here. We're just confused why a Shichibukai, a pirate officially sanctioned by the World Government, would go all the way out and form a criminal organization...

Crocodile: What I desire isn't money or land... It's "Military might" !

1: Military might... ?

Crocodile: Allow me to explain from the beginning. My true objective and the full picture behind the final operation of Baroque Works...

2: There's really something like that here in this country ?! And we're gonna be stealing it along with this entire country ?! Why, I'm giddy as a little schoolgirl now !

1: So in short, our objective this time is to ensure the successful completion of this plan, correct... ?

Crocodile: Correct. Everything you've ever done for Baroque Works, was all to build up for this final operation. Inside the letter in front of you are the final orders I shall leave to you. The time to end the Kingdom of Alabasta has come...

Crocodile: Once you've carried out those orders, this kingdom shall crumble on its own ! And once the rebels and citizens of Alabasta have lost their place to go, they, too, will fall into the hands of Baroque Works ! Within a single night, this country shall become our "Utopia" !

Crocodile: Operation Utopia will be the last and greatest plan carried out by Baroque Works ! Failure will not be tolerated. The operation will begin tomorrow morning at 7.

Agents: Roger... !

Crocodile: I pray for our success.

Toto: Forgive me for the shameful sight yesterday, Vivi...

Vivi: Oh, you don't need to apologize for that. Well... We'll be off then, Toto.

Toto: Right... Oh, Luffy, take this with you.

Luffy: WATER !!

Usopp: WATER ?!

"So you managed to find some in the end ?"

Toto: Yes. Shortly after you fell asleep while digging that hole, I finally reached a layer of moist sand... the water I gave you is from distilling a portion of that.

Luffy: Thanks, mister ! I didn't really understand all that stuff you just said but I'll treasure this water !

Toto: It's genuine Yuba water... I'm sorry there isn't anymore to give than that right now...

"Don't worry about that, you helped us more than we could ask already."

"*Ding* Gaster flight 420 is just about to take off, all passengers are required to board on. And I mean ALL passengers, Luffy !"

Luffy: Mmm...

Vivi: is something wrong, Luffy ?

Luffy: I quit.

All: WHAT ?!
