History

Alabasta Saga

Alabasta Arc

The Tsumegeri Guards appeared in the court yard of Alubarna Palace shortly after Crocodile explained his plan of obtaining Pluton to Cobra, Vivi, and Chaka. They demanded that Crocodile released the king and refused to leave despite Cobra's order not to anger Crocodile and the latter's offer to let them leave in recognition of their spirit. Instead the Tsumegeri Guards unleashed the power of the Hero Water, breaking their bracelets just by bracing their muscles.

Stating that they must let Crocodile know the countries pain and anger they charged at him all at once and even managed to hit him but he dissolved into sand and remained unaffected by the attack. It is then that the Hero Water's side effect kicks in, they all collapsed and died.

When Crocodile started laughing and commented on the stupidity of their actions, Chaka got furious and attacked Crocodile himself.
