From the shadows, Mr. 8, Ms. Monday, Mr. 9 and Vivi, all shocked at the brutality, stayed hidden, reconsidering their options. They knew they wouldn't stand a chance against Coby, especially after what they'd just witnessed.
Luffy stumbled out of the building, his stomach bulging after gorging on food. He yawned, rubbing his eyes. When he noticed the bodies strewn across the ground, blood pooling around some of them, his face twisted in confusion.
"Oi, what happened here?" Luffy muttered, scanning the area. He couldn't find anyone standing—only the injured or dead. He scratched his head, puzzled.
On the other side of the island, the sound of footsteps echoed from the opposite side of the street behind Vivi and others. Two figures appeared, their presence radiating danger. Mr. 5, a tall man with black hair and a nonchalant expression, strode forward. He wore a red suit, his hand casually resting in his pocket. Beside him, Miss Valentine, a blonde woman with an unsettling smile, walked with a grin. She twirled an umbrella in her hand, her yellow dress fluttering in the light breeze.
Vivi and the others froze at the sight of them. Their presence meant only one thing—trouble.
Coby's eyes narrowed as he observed the two newcomers. Inside, he issued a mental command. "System, calculate my SP." He smiled, he had abilities to copy.

Whistling, Coby watched as Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine appeared from the shadows. Their eyes were locked on Vivi.
"We were sent by Mr. 0 to eliminate the spy in the group," Mr. 5 said, his voice cold and indifferent. Miss Valentine let out a shrill laugh, twirling her umbrella. "Kyahaha! The name of the spy is Igaram, Head of Alabasta Kingdom's Royal Guards. And the second spy is Nefertari Vivi, Princess of Alabasta herself."
Mr. 5 held up a picture of Vivi in her royal attire. Vivi's eyes widened in shock as Miss Valentine added, "You can't hide now, Princess."
As Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine advanced, Vivi called out, "Carue!" Her giant duck sprinted towards her, ready to protect its master.
Igaram stood firm, drawing his weapon to defend Vivi. "You'll have to go through me first!" he shouted, his stance unwavering.
Mr. 5 didn't waste time with words. He flicked his finger, sending an explosive booger flying towards Vivi. Mr. 9 deflected it with his bat, but the explosion still sent him staggering back. But Mr. 9 still stepped in front of Vivi, determination in his stance. "You're my comrade-in-arms. I don't know what's going on, but I won't abandon you." Carue rushed in, slamming his beak into Mr. 5's side, but the attack had little effect on the man's explosive powers.
Miss Valentine floated above, her weight ready to drop like a hammer on Igaram. "10,000 Kilo Press!" she announced, descending rapidly. Igaram felt like being crushed under her weight.
Coby watched the scene unfold, hands in his pockets, his expression casual. He knew Vivi and the others could handle themselves for now, but he kept a close eye on the situation, ready to step in if things got out of hand.
Mr. 9 swung his bat at Mr. 5, who dodged easily and retaliated with another explosion. The force of the blast sent Mr. 9 flying into a nearby building, crashing through the wall. Despite the impact, he struggled back to his feet, determined to protect Vivi.
"Ms. Wednesday, get out of here!" Mr. 9 shouted, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Carue squawked in agreement, nudging Vivi to move. But Vivi stayed, clutching her weapons tightly. She hated the idea of leaving her comrades behind, but the alternative was millions of her subjects dying under Crocodile's plot. She couldn't accept that. She bit her lip and was about to escape, but Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were not about to let her.
Igaram, beaten and barely conscious, crawled towards Coby, grabbing onto his leg. "I beg you, please save her," he pleaded. "Those two ability users are beyond us. You are strong. If you can take her to the Alabasta Kingdom, I swear you will be rewarded handsomely."
Nami, standing nearby, perked up at the mention of money. Her eyes glinted as she grinned. "Handsomely, you say? Fine. We want one billion Beli."
After hearing the number, Igaram hesitated, his expression pained. "I'm just a soldier... I can't promise that much," he stammered, clearly torn.
Nami leaned in, her voice dangerously sweet. "Are you saying the princess isn't worth a billion Beli? Because if that's the case, I don't think we're interested." She crossed her arms, waiting for his response.
Vivi, standing beside Igaram, looked distressed but kept quiet, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Finally, Igaram nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Fine. One billion Beli, but it must be delivered to Alabasta safely."
"Deal." Nami pointed at the approaching enemies, her tone now commanding. "Coby, be a sweetheart and take care of those two."
Coby chuckled, shaking his head. "I was gonna anyway."
Igaram and Vivi exchanged a glance, realizing they were cornered into the deal, but there was no turning back now.
Coby already had a good sense of Miss Valentine's ability and Mr. 5's explosive attacks. As Mr. 5 flicked another explosive booger towards him, Coby dodged easily, his movements fluid. "System, calculate," he muttered, focusing on the enemies before him.

Coby frowned, "Woah. Expensive. And eww. I wouldn't fling boogers at people, no thank you. I have an image to protect." He glanced at Miss Valentine. "Why is Miss Valentine's ability considered as a whole? It's too expensive."

Coby weighed his options, his eyes never leaving the approaching enemies. "Alright, I'll take both Form."

Miss Valentine hovered above, twirling her umbrella. She spotted Coby and smirked. "Ready to be crushed, little boy?" She started her descent, her weight rapidly increasing.
Coby grinned at Miss Valentine. "There's nothing little about me. If you want, you can come and check it." Miss Valentine's confident smirk faltered for a moment, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. Vivi, too, turned slightly red.
Nami, noticing the exchange, rolled her eyes. "Stop flirting and start fighting!"
