Short Summary
The Straw Hats, deciding to take Baroque Works head on, are leaving Yuba for Rainbase, where Crocodile's headquarters is hidden. Meanwhile, the rebels are almost ready to attack the royal army. Despite a shortage of weapons, they decide to start the battle as soon as possible. King Cobra does not wish to attack his people without knowing of the cause despite the fact that his guard captains, Pell and Chaka, have more and more difficulties controlling their men. While they are despairing, hope arrives from Carue, who has finally reached the palace with the information that Vivi gave him to deliver (Vivi wrote a letter to her father and gave Carue the mission to give it to her father). After reading the shocking news of Igaram's death and Crocodile's betrayal, Cobra decides to send all his troops toward the traitor even if it would leave the capital defenseless against the rebels.
