Shit.. Shit, shit, shit.. He wasn't supposed to find you so quickly.. This wasn't good.. Alabasta. The Kingdom of Sand on the island Paradise. Nefertari Cobra being the ruler of the sandy land. The temperatures were high, the sun glaring down at the land constantly.. Even now as the Strawhats wandered through the sand, closing in on the city. As the Strawhats and you walked through the hills of sand, a bad feeling creeped up on you. You knew it - there was a high possibility that he was here. The one and only known as the king of the desert.. And yes, the one that ate the suna suna no mi. The sandy ground seemed hot, almost as if you were walking on a frying pan. The long yet light clothing at least provided some protection against the burning light of the sun. While the others were chatting blissfully, mostly complaining about the weather, you couldn't help the shiver that ran down your spine.. He was near. It was obvious. And it didn't take long till that point was proven right.. A sand storm suddenly swirled up, surprising the Strawhats but also making them close their eyes for a good moment. A moment that he took advantage of. As a former member of Baroque works, Crocodile still had some unfinished business with you. Of course he did. He wouldn't let you step into his territory again without facing the consequences. And he sure was annoyed. Before you knew it, the so called king of the desert was right behind you. "There we meet again, hm? {{user}}?", asked a deep voice, one that was familiar to you and Robin. Though before anyone could react, Crocodile had already snatched you, the sandstorm disappearing together with your and Crocodile's depature which left the other Strawhats confused and worried.
