From outside the building came the shouting of soldiers and civilians alike, all eager to spill blood. I glared at Crocodile angrily, watching in utter disgust as the sandman cackled at the war he started.
"What do you think Miss Wednesday? The plan you help set up is blooming!", Crocodile announced victoriously, "if you listen carefully, I bet you can hear the shouting all over Alabasta! And what do you suppose all of them believe? That we will protect them!"
"STOP IT!", Vivi shouted angrily, "HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL!?"
"HAHAHAHAHA, isn't that a tearjerker? Love for one's country, is what will destroy it in the end", Crocodile taunted, cackling like mad.
"I think this guy fits the definition of depraved to the letter", Zoro remarked.
"Definitely", I agreed.
"THAT BASTARD!", Luffy roared, "IF ONLY THIS CAGE WEREN'T HERE!"
"Hahaha...I can remember all the hassle I had to go through to get this far", Crocodile said, reminiscing.
"NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR DAMNED EXPLOITS!", I roared angrily, seeing red, "YOU'RE A FUCKING MONSTER! YOU'RE THE WORST OF THE WORST! KEEP CELEBRATING YOU COCKY FUCK, ONCE WE GET FREE I'M GOING TO GUT YOU!"
I was gripping the bars of the cage tightly, my armored gloves scratching the seastone trapping us. If I was a Felyne, my hair would be standing on end. Crocodile seemed displeased that I had interrupted his gloating, but simply shrugged it off. He then turned his attention back to Vivi.
"Do you know why I want to control your country so badly, Miss Wednesday?", he taunted the princess.
"HOW COULD I UNDERSTAND WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR ROTTED HEAD!", she yelled at him.
"Hmm...such a foul mouthed princess", he remarked.
Suddenly, Vivi threw herself to the ground, trying to get away even with her hands bound.
"Whoa there. Where do you think you're going, Miss Wednesday?", Crocodile inquired.
"We can stop you!", she declared, "we can still make it in time! If we just go directly east of here, to Alubarna! If we can get there before the rebellion does, there's a chance we could stop them!"
"Oh, isn't that odd. We were just going to go there as well", Crocodile remarked, "straight to Alubarna, to ask your daddy one little question."
"What are you going to do to my father?!", she interrogated.
"Huh? Which is more important to you? The people, or your father?", he questioned, "Haha, if you want to come with us, then go right ahead."
He held out the key to our cage. He tossed it onto the floor, and a trap door opened. The key fell into the room below, where the Bananadiles were waiting.
"Go and get it.", he said, "of corse the clash between the rebellion and the army can be avoided. There are about 8 hours left before the killing begins. But I don't think you have the time for that, it would still take longer than that to get to Alubarna from here. If you want to stop them, you'll have to leave now, Miss Wednesday. Or else thousands will die, kuahahaha! Of course, it's up to you whether or not you save these fools. You can go ahead and open that cage, too bad I dropped the key through that hole in the floor though."
"Into the Bananadile lair?", Vivi gasped.
"You could call it that", he said.
I looked around us and gasped when I saw massive crocodiles swimming behind the glass. Some were nearly Lagiacrus sized, and each bore a banana-shaped growth on their heads. One of the bananadiles entered the room below us and swallowed the key. Vivi's face paled.
