[Rain Dinners, greatest casino in the Town of Dreams, Rainbase]

Luffy: CROCODILE!!!
	GET YER ASS OUT HERE!!!!

[Inside Rain Dinners]

Luffy: COME ON!!

Nami: How is that going to make him show up, you dipstick?!

Usopp: He's the hero of the country!!  You wanna make the customers here your enemies, too?!

Luffy: Fine!!  So...  what do we do?!

Usopp: Hey, wait a minute!!  Without Vivi, we don't know who Crocodile is!

Nami: Where is Vivi, anyways?!

 - Page 50 -

Three: VIVIIII!!!  CROCODIIIIILE!!!

Zoro: Hey.

Employee: Assistant Manager, some strange people are here...!!

AM: Tell security to get rid of them.  Don't let them cause a ruckus.

Smoker: I've got you now, Straw-Hat!!!

Security: No, sir, government officials are not allowed inside the...

Smoker: This place is on a lake!  You can't get away!!

Luffy: DAMN.
	IT'S SMOKEY!!!

 - Page 51 -

Security: Excuse us, gentlemen!!
	We'd like for you to step outside for a min...

Luffy: Huh?  Did I just run into something?!

AM: Forgive me, Manager!!  Someone has...

Miss All-Sunday: Bring them into the VIP Room.

AM: Uh...

Miss All-Sunday: Crocodile's orders.

 - Page 52 -

Usopp: Hey, look at that!!

Employees: Right this way, please!!
	This is the VIP Room!!

Nami: Is he saying "Bring it on?"

Zoro: A clever guy!!

Luffy: C'MON!!!  LET'S GO!!!

Smoker: VIP?!  What do they have to do with Crocodile...?!!
	This is leading us straight to our deaths...!!!

Luffy: What's VIP mean?!

 - Page 53 -

 - Page 54 -

Luffy: A FIENDISHLY clever trap.

Usopp: Indeed it was.

Nami: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED US TO DO!!
	HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?!!

<<Luffy: Look, the path splits!!!

Sign: (the right arrow says "Pirates")

<<Usopp: The VIP room is to the left!!

<<Luffy: No, wait.
	But we're pirates!!
	This way!!
	Aaah!!  The floor collapsed!  A pit!!

<<Usopp: WAIT!!

Luffy: And besides, I can't feel any power...

Usopp: What, you hungry or something?

 - Page 55 -

Zoro: Luffy!

Luffy: Huh?
	GWAH!!!

Usopp: GYAAAH!!  LUFFY!!!

 - Page 56 -

Luffy: OOF!!

Usopp: Y...  you wanna fight...  PUFFY?!!
	I...  HELPED...  STOP AN EXPLODING HUMAN!!!

(Note: He's talking about Mr. 5)

Luffy: What the...?  I can barely move...!!
	Like I fell in water or something...

Smoker: Yeah, that's right...

Usopp: W...  what the hell did you do to Luffy?!!

Smoker: The end of this club is made of something called "Seastone".
	A mysterious stone that only exists in a certain sea...

 - Page 57 -

Smoker: All the Marine Headquarters' prisons are made of the stuff.
	It keeps criminals with "the power" from getting away.
	This metal is still a mystery to us, but what we do know is that it emits the same kind of energy the sea does.
	Just think of it as a solidified form of the sea...

Zoro: So that's what's making Luffy weak...!!

Nami: Then this cage is made of the same...

Smoker: If it wasn't, I'd be long gone.
	After destroying the whole lot of you, of course...

Usopp: GYAAAAAAAA!!  NO, WAIT!!  HOW CAN YOU FIGHT WHILE WE'RE IN THIS PREDICAMENT?!!
	And besides, Zoro, swords don't work against him...!!

Crocodile: He's right.  Cut it out.

 - Page 58 -

Crocodile: You'll kill each other.
	Why can't you all just be friends...?!!

Smoker: Crocodile...!!!

Crocodile: Oooh...  you really ARE a stray hound, Smoker-kun.
	You never thought of me as your ally from the start.
	Oh...  that's right.
	I was going to have you die in an "accident".  I reported that you've been fighting the "Straw-Hat" several times.  Hahaha!
	I don't know why you came here, but it was obviously of your own accord.
	The governments believe me.  They wouldn't send any Marines here normally...

 - Page 59 -

Zoro: So that's one of the "Seven Armed Seas"...

Luffy: So you're
	Crocodile, huh...?!
	HEY!!!  YOU!!!!
	Fighh meeh...

Usopp: Don't touch the cage!!

Crocodile: You did well to come this far, "Straw-Hat"...
	I never thought I'd actually meet you.
	Don't worry, I'll be killing you very soon...
	But the GUEST OF HONOR isn't here yet.
	I've just sent my partner to go pick her up.

 - Page 60 -

BW: You gave us quite a bit of trouble, princess.
	No wonder you were a Frontier Agent.
	BUT TOO BAD!!  HAHAHA!!

Vivi: {I can't die here!!  I have to get to Rain Dinners...!!!}
	Damn...!!!

BW: GYAA!

 - Page 61 -

BW: Guaaah!!!
	WHAT THE-?!!  A BIRD...?!!
	A FALCON?!!!

 - Page 62 -

BW: Where'd that bird get those Gatling guns?!!
	It's HUGE!!!
	SHIT!  SHOOT IT!!!
	AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
	Damn!!  The princess!!!

Pell: Nice to see you again, princess.

Vivi: Pell!!

Pell: Please wait here a moment...!!

 - Page 63 -

BW: Pell...?!!
	Was that "PELL THE FALCON"...?!!
	The strongest warrior in all of Alabasta...!!!
	The "Toritori fruit", model "Falcon".
	One of the only five types of "Flying Powers" ever discovered...

(Note: Tori means bird, and as far as I know, has no other significance beyond that.)

BW: I can't see him!!!
	SHOOT HIM!!  SHOOT HIM DEAD!!!

 - Page 64 -

Pell: "TOBIZUME"  (Flying Claws)

Vivi: You saved me...!!  Now, we must hurry to where everyone else is...!!!

 - Page 65 -

Miss All-Sunday: Yes.  Exactly what I was thinking.

Vivi: Miss All-Sunday!!!

BW: Vice...
	President...!!

Pell: Who?

Miss All-Sunday: How magnificent...  The first time I've ever seen
	A human that could fly.
	But...  I wonder if you're stronger than me?

Pell: Vivi-sama...  are these the people you were talking about?
	The ones who are threatening to destroy our country...?!!

SBS Corner

O: It's a game!!  This one is pretty fun.  I somehow managed to get it right.  Now, give it a shot, everyone!!  Thank you very much, Miss
	Summer Vacation!!

Based on the following crew members' hints, try to figure out the order they reached the restaurant.

Sanji: I say ladies first.
Nami: When I got there, it was only guys.
Usopp: Chopper came in right after me.
Karoo: Quack quack (incomprehensible)
Zoro: I can't believe that stupid cook beat me!
Luffy: I beat the girls!
Vivi: Karoo followed me.
Chopper: I was faster than Luffy.

The answer is on the bottom of page 126!!
