One Piece : Volume 20 - Showdown at Alubarna

Baroque Works Part 9

The Straw Hat Pirates are facing one of their most intense challenges yet as they leave Rainbase to head toward Alubarna, the capital city of Alabasta. Their mission is to prevent the impending civil war between the rebels and the royal army. However, things take a dangerous turn when Luffy gets pulled aside by Crocodile, the mastermind behind the Baroque Works and the main antagonist of their journey. In a dramatic twist, Crocodile challenges Luffy to a one-on-one confrontation, but there’s a catch—Luffy only has three minutes to fight, and he must face Crocodile on his own domain, where the sand-based villain has the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew, including Vivi, race toward Alubarna to stop the rebels and prevent the bloodshed that is about to break out. As the city gates approach, they encounter the formidable Baroque Works agents, who have been strategically waiting for them. Officer Agents like Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and others block their path, each one bringing their own deadly abilities to the fight.

Vivi, torn between her loyalty to her people and her duty to her friends, must make a heart-wrenching decision. Can she convince the rebel forces to stop fighting long enough to avoid a full-scale war, or will the battle between the rebels and the army escalate beyond control? With everything on the line, it’s a race against time.

In the meantime, Luffy's confrontation with Crocodile is a test of strength, resolve, and strategy. Crocodile's sand-based powers are devastating, but Luffy’s rubber abilities give him a fighting chance. The outcome of their battle could change the course of the entire conflict in Alabasta.

As the volume draws to a close, the tension mounts, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this high-stakes adventure!
