CA: 58 Wish

Gritting his teeth Crocodile stood turning his lower half into a sandstorm, " Just because you've learned Haki doesn't mean you can get rid of me. " Rushing forward Crocodile summoned a sand storm to envelope the entire pyramid, pelting those outside with sand.

Squinting Hiko lost track of Crocodile, sensing someone behind him Leon ducked as a blade aimed to decapitate him. Sweeping across with his sword Leon caught Crocodile before he could turn back into sand, this time the Warlord wasn't sent flying as he turned into sand merging with the sand storm.

Closing his eyes Hiko focused and the noise of the world seemed to fade as a vision of Crocodile attacking him front the front played through his mind. Raising his sword Hiko struck down just as Crocodile appeared sending the Warlord through the pyramid down to the casino below.

Hoping down a second later Hiko ignored the screaming patrons running away from the rubble pile that Crocodile was making his way out of. The soon to be dead Warlord was heavily wounded falling onto his knees as he tried to stand, " Damn you bastard! I won't have all my years of hard work be destroyed by you. "

" You don't seem to understand the situation, your operation has already been destroyed. As we speak my wife is showing the marines the voice recording of your little meeting. In a few hours, you'll be sent off to Impel Down to die forgotten and I'll have your title as Warlord. "

Kneeling down Hiko used Conqueror's Haki to knock Crocodile out, slapping a pair of seastone cuffs on him Hiko stood up and smiled.

" You didn't leave any for us, I might have to punish you for that later. "  Hiko looked over to see Nami and his other wives walking over with Robin and Vivi in tow. Smiling Hiko shrugged, " Sorry you'll just have to move faster next time. Did you give the Marines the tape? "

Nami nodded, " Putting through the snail took a while to figure out but eventually, they had all the evidence they needed. I suggest we get out of here, the marine is getting everything wrapped up. Can we leave the big guy here? "

" Yeah he should be out for the next few hours, all that's left is to meet the king. " Hiko said as he stood up and brushed off his hands.

A few hours later Hiko was waiting to see the king along with Robin he saw that she was fidgeting in her seat nervously.

" You look tense Robin what's going through that head of yours. " Robin froze for a second before sighing, " What is your plan, to use me do you, know about the weapon beneath Alabasta. " Hiko smirked, " Honestly I don't care what you do, I just wanted you out of the way to face Crocodile. "

Robin looked taken back, " You don't need- " Hiko was interrupted as the doors to the throne room opened and Vivi poked her head out, " King Cobra is ready to see you. "

Nodding Hiko stood smoothing out his shirt, walking forward the doors opened to reveal a long throne room with gilded pillars lined by guards all wearing armor. At the end of the room on a throne sat King Nefertari Cobra and to his right stood Vivi and to his left Igaram, " So this is the man that saved my daughter, I must thank you on the behalf of Alabasta for exposing Crocodiles efforts to destroy this country. "

" I won't say I did it out of the kindness of my heart or it was the right thing to do. " The king chuckled, " Of course, I shall grant any wish of yours so long as it's reasonable. " Hiko grinned, " I want your daughter's hand in marriage. "

Vivi blushed as everyone else was silent, " That is most forward of you, but I don't have a problem, with it, if my Vivi agrees. " Everyone looked towards Vivi for an answer but her face was bright red and as she stood still her eyes rolled up to the back of her head as she fainted.

" Vivi! " Igaram rushed over as he supported Vivi in his arms, " I can't tell if that's a good or a bad sign. "
