* GovernmentConspiracy: The World Government decided it was far too embarrassing to make public that the sponsored pirates went rogue and tried to take over a kingdom (one on the World Summit, no less) was stopped by pirates, so they covered it up and gave credit to Smoker and Tashigi instead, and offered them promotions. They grudgingly accept, while Luffy's bounty increases 100,000,000 belli and Zoro finally receives a bounty worth 60,000,000 belli.

To that end, Corocodile forced a rebellion to take over as monarch, and find a way to challenge the World Government, feeling power was all that is important in the world. Eventually, idealism won thisbattle, as Luffy decided to hold to his dreams by ''first'' defeating Crocodile, the latter's conspiracy was exposed and Alabasta was saved as Vivi wanted, and it had found renewed faith in its king, and Robin was given a second chance, both by the Straw Hats and to carry on with her life.
