In the palace of Alabasta, Pell raises his arm to receive a large, star-marked bird.

Guards follow along, alarmed by the presence of an unidentified avian-- but Pell waves them aside. 'The little chimp around its neck delivers them a letter-- and Pell 's eyes widen at the familiar lock of hair around its binding.

Quickly, he sends the bird on its way-- it was not a patient sort, Pell can tell.

It will certainly not deliver a return message

-- and rushes to the throne room.

'Your majesty! King Cobra, it 's dire news! '

The doors are closed and the messages are silent.

'It 's Vivi-sama! She 's sent us a letter on everything she and Igaram-dono found out! '

'Ace! Ace, look how cool she is! Nami 's got a

metal

arm! '

'I know, Luffy. '

'Be more amazed about it! Nami is so cool! '
