Short Summary
The story begins with Crocodile fighting with Luffy. Crocodile creates a giant hole of quicksand, which surprises Luffy. Luffy escapes the quicksand and tries to attack Crocodile several times, but Crocodile is ineffected. Crocodile attacks Luffy and makes his hand wither with his power, which makes Luffy panic. Luffy remembers the water Toto gives him and revives himself, yelling that Toto stated Yuba would never lose to sand. Luffy uses a new technique that probably comes from Wapol and eats the top half of Crocodile, which enrages him. Crocodile tells Luffy to die along with Yuba, and creates a sand twister. Meanwhile in rainbase, people talk about the sandstorm they see. Tashigi tells Smoker about it, which he simply looks on at. On Scissors, the rest of the Straw Hats also talk about the sandstorm. Vivi tells them that it is "him". Back at the scene, Crocodile tells Luffy his intentions on sending this sandstorm to Yuba, which enrages Luffy. Luffy tries to stop Crocodile, but gets stabbed by Crocodile's hook. Crocodile tells Luffy that rookies like him are swarming all over the Grand Line.
