Inside this volume
The battle for Alabasta reaches its conclusion as the Straw Hat Pirates make one final effort to stop Operation Utopia and restore peace to the kingdom. While Monkey D. Luffy confronts Crocodile for a final time, Vivi Nefertari continues her desperate attempt to end the civil war before irreversible damage is done.
As the fate of Alabasta hangs in the balance, long-standing conflicts are resolved and the kingdom begins its path toward recovery. The volume concludes the Alabasta Arc while setting the stage for the Straw Hat Pirates' next adventure through the Grand Line.
Quick Facts
The final stages of Operation Utopia unfold as Monkey D. Luffy challenges Crocodile once more beneath the royal mausoleum. While Crocodile seeks to uncover the location of the ancient weapon Pluton, Robin Nico, still known as Miss All Sunday, accompanies him into the ruins where the kingdom's Poneglyph is hidden.
Above ground, Vivi Nefertari struggles to halt the battle between the royal army and the rebels before a devastating time bomb destroys the capital. Members of the royal guard, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Alabasta's citizens risk their lives to prevent further tragedy as the conflict reaches its climax.
After an intense battle, Monkey D. Luffy finally defeats Crocodile, bringing Operation Utopia to an end. Crocodile's defeat exposes Baroque Works' conspiracy, allowing the fighting throughout Alubarna to cease and restoring hope to the kingdom.
With peace returning to Alabasta, the kingdom begins rebuilding while the Straw Hat Pirates prepare to continue their voyage. Although Vivi Nefertari must choose between her duty as a princess and her life at sea, the bonds forged during the adventure remain unchanged.
