Short Summary

Long Summary
With Luffy turning into Water Luffy, he attacks Crocodile with more success this time. Cobra is surprised to see how Luffy could hit and attack Crocodile but Robin states that it is not the time for him to appreciate it and that he must hurry and take her to the poneglyph. Cobra asks to what reason does she have to see the poneglyph but Robin answers that it does not matter to him. Crocodile yells out Nico Robin's name to hurry up if she doesn't want to get dry too, shocking Cobra upon hearing her name.

A pissed off Crocodile turns the grass and trees yellow and dries the entire ground, making big cracks. Luffy nearly falling on one, fires a "watergun" attack but Crocodile easily absorbs it with his right hand and states that Water Luffy hasn't taken away his ability and that his right hand can make anything dry without limits, thus, turning everything back into sand using his ability Mass Erosion while touching the ground.

Meanwhile, Robin, taking Cobra as hostage, encounters the Marines with Tashigi  leading. Robin orders them to leave but the Marines tell her that it is hard to obey that with what happened in Alubarna. Robin then retaliates that as long as they're "government dogs", she hates them, and that "if you guys don't get out the way.." But was interrupted by Tashigi saying they have no meaning to do so. Robin states then that she has to kill them but Cobra yells to the Marines that they must stop and not to worry about him, he then reveals to them about the bomb which will go off at 4:30 which is only seven minutes away. Tashigi then assures him that they will save him and stop her but Robin attacks the Marines using her Hana Hana no Mi ability. A Marine, seeing her devil fruit power, realizes that she is Nico Robin, the 8-yr old girl from 20 years ago who sank 6 marine ships and had a bounty of 79,000,000 but suddenly disappeared. An angered Robin yells at them if they want to live or die. Tashigi then thinks that because of Robin's ability, even with a difference in number, they still can't do a thing to her, so she orders a sergeant to get everyone to the palace ground and stop the bomb. With Tashigi alone, she is still overwhelmed by Robin, who easily takes Tashigi's Shigure sword and points directly at her throat.

Back at the palace, Luffy is hanging to a rail, while under him is the palace's lawn turned into a desert. Luffy looks for Crocodile, who then suddenly appears before him and grabs his neck. Luffy fires a watergun attack but Crocodile dodges it and completely dehydrates him, stating that Luffy lost agin.
