Short Summary

Luffy has finally recovered and is able to enter the basement and faces an astonished Crocodile. Annoyed by this stubbornness, he asks Luffy what are his reason for fighting and being killed. To that question, Luffy answers that Crocodile need to give back the country. Crocodile laughs because he thinks he has not yet accomplished that part, but Luffy answers him that if it was the case, Vivi would be more happy, then he run towards Crocodile and give him a direct punch in the face. Crocodile is surprised about that since Luffy has no more water. He finally understands that what allows Luffy to beat him is the blood from his wounds. Realizing that he faces someone he should no more underestimate, he takes the upper part of his hook revealing a poisonous weapon. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats gather to Usopp’s signal, but on their way, they surprisingly find help from the Marines.
