Inside this volume
The battle for Alabasta reaches its decisive stage as the Straw Hat Pirates confront the elite agents of Baroque Works while the kingdom's civil war erupts in the capital of Alubarna. With the conflict spiraling beyond anyone's control, Vivi Nefertari struggles to stop the fighting before Alabasta is destroyed from within.
As the confrontation spreads across the city, each member of the Straw Hat crew is forced into a personal battle against a powerful Baroque Works officer. While Monkey D. Luffy continues his pursuit of Crocodile, his companions fight to protect Vivi's homeland and prevent Operation Utopia from reaching its conclusion.
Quick Facts
The battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Baroque Works begins in earnest as the civil war reaches Alubarna. While Monkey D. Luffy pursues Crocodile, the remaining Straw Hats split up to protect Vivi Nefertari and stop the conflict consuming the kingdom.
Across the capital, Baroque Works officer agents engage the Straw Hats in a series of individual battles. Usopp and Tony Tony Chopper face Babe and Miss Merry Christmas, while Vivi races to reach the palace before the fighting escalates beyond recovery. The chaos of the battlefield also highlights the courage of Alabasta's defenders, including Carue, whose determination proves vital despite overwhelming danger.
As the war intensifies, the Straw Hats refuse to retreat despite being outmatched by Baroque Works' strongest agents. Their determination to protect Vivi's dream of saving her country becomes the central focus of the volume, while Crocodile's larger plan continues unfolding in the background.
The volume concludes with the defeat of Babe and Miss Merry Christmas following the combined efforts of Usopp and Tony Tony Chopper, while the larger battles for Alubarna remain unresolved.
