Charithra Chandran returns as Princess Vivi. Xolo Maridue\u00f1a joins as Portgas D. Ace, and Cole Escola brings fan-favourite Bon Clay to life.

A rebel army fights to overthrow the king, but the real architect of the chaos is Crocodile, who is using Baroque Works to destabilise Alabasta from the shadows so he can seize the kingdom for himself. The Straw Hats must expose the conspiracy and stop the war before everything collapses.
