A Natural Monster, Starting With Dark Fruit

"Why did you disappear suddenly? What happened?"

The strange disappearance of the salon volume made Crocodile, who was following behind, slightly stunned.

He originally planned to use the Sand Storm Group to destroy Xia Yan and his gang, then make a high-profile appearance to rescue Robin, and threaten Robin with force and companions to become his subordinate.

Just like Xia Yan recognized Robin at a glance, Crocodile also recognized Robin at a glance.

Xia Yan still had to open her mouth to test, and then used her mind-reading ability to determine Robin's identity.

Crocodile confirmed Robin's identity with just a quick glance.

Because Crocodile has been looking for Robin, he has an informant in the black market of West Blue and knows what Robin will look like when he grows up.

Even if Robin does not enter the Grand Line this year, after Crocodile completes his secret investigation in Alabasta, he will take the initiative to go to West Blue to find Robin.

Unexpectedly, before I went to West Blue to find someone, the target would be delivered to my door automatically.

Crocodile certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.

As for the people around Robin, Crocodile ignored them.

To be precise, Crocodile doesn't take the pirates in the first half of the Shikai and Grand Line seriously.

This is the consistent arrogance of those with Logia ability.

"Boy, where did you hide Nico Robin?"

Crocodile, whose lower body turned into sand and used it to fly at low altitude in the desert, soon arrived in front of Xia Yan.

Seeing only Xia Yan, Robin and the two women disappeared.

Crocodile, who had temporarily lost Haki, could not sense their existence at all, and could only threaten Xia Yan in a deep voice: "Hand her over, and I will spare your life."

"Spare my life?"

Xia Yan looked at Crocodile with a playful look as if she had heard a joke: "Are all the Seven Warlords of the Sea as arrogant as you? Or are you Logia capable people all arrogant?"

"...Boy, who are you?"

Crocodile's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally looked squarely at Xia Yan.

He recognized himself at a glance and knew that he was a Logia user, but he didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he looked confident.

This is either a fool or a strong person.

So, is this guy the former or the latter?

The next second, Crocodile's expression changed slightly, and he came up with the answer.

"You are not qualified to know my name - Dark Water!"

Xia Yan looked even more arrogant than Crocodile, raised her hand and shouted at Crocodile.

The invisible gravity turned into an invisible hand, grabbing Crocodile towards Xia Yan.

"gravitational?"

Crocodile was caught off guard at first.

But the next second, he knew what the energy in his body was.

So, Crocodile turned his right arm into sand and swung it towards Xia Yan from the air.

As soon as the sand flew out, it immediately turned into a huge sand blade, and with a sharpness that could cut open the ground, it struck Xia Yan.

In response, Xia Yan smiled as if her conspiracy had succeeded.

Multiply, thirty times faster, shave!

I saw Xia Yan cut off the dark water and disappeared in an instant.

When he appeared again, he was already behind Crocodile.

"Dark Water!"

Gravity grabbed Crocodile again, and by the time Crocodile reacted, his shoulder had already been grabbed by Xia Yan.

The lower body, which had turned into sand and floated in the air, instantly returned to its original appearance.

What makes Crocodile even more horrified is that he lost the ability of Logia·Sand-Sand Fruit.

Whether it is elementalization or turning the body into sand, it cannot be done.

Even so, Crocodile still instinctively attacked Xia Yan and stabbed Xia Yan with the golden hook in his left hand.

clang!

An incredible picture suddenly came into Crocodile's eyes.

Faced with his golden hook sneak attack, Xia Yan did not dodge or dodge.

But the poisonous golden hook landed on Xia Yan. Not only did it not penetrate his body, it didn't even have any scratches. Instead, it made a sound like metal collision.

It's like Xia Yan's body is not a human body, but a steel body.

"You were using Marine Six Styles just now. Are you a member of the CP organization?"

After losing the ability of Devil Fruit, the golden hook could not hurt Xia Yan's Crocodile, so he quickly said: "I am Seven Warlords of the Sea, you can't kill me!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not."

Xia Yan grinned and grabbed Crocodile's shoulder, like the strongest lock in the world. Crocodile felt a sharp pain and was unable to break free.

boom!

Xia Yan did not injure Crocodile, but controlled the force and knocked out the ordinary Crocodile with a knife.

In order to determine whether Crocodile was really unconscious, Xia Yan also used her mind-reading ability with her other hand to check Crocodile's status.

After confirming that Crocodile had fainted, Xia Yan opened the air door and let the three Carina girls hiding in the different space come out.

"Is this Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Looking at Crocodile, even if he fainted, his ability was still blocked by Xia Yan's dark water.

Nami smacked his tongue slightly and said: "One of the only seven legal pirates on the sea, is he so vulnerable?"

"Hmm...it's not that he is vulnerable, it's that the Master is too strong."

Carina let out a unique laugh and said: "No matter who it is, as long as the other party is an ability user and does not understand the Master's information, they will be caught off guard by Dark Water."

"Indeed, all ability users are accustomed to using fruit abilities to fight. No one can adapt to the sudden loss of Devil Fruit abilities." Robin nodded in agreement.

When she was caught by Xia Yan and lost Paramecia Flower-Flower Fruit, she was even more powerless than Crocodile.

Dark water is so unsolvable and disgusting.

Whether it was Ace, Luffy, Whitebeard, or Hancock... they all suffered a lot when they faced dark water for the first time.

If Rayleigh hadn't come to the rescue in time, Hancock might have been wiped out.

The current Crocodile, just like the original Hancock, was killed instantly by Xia Yan using dark water.

"Shichibukai appeared in the participating countries, and not in the capital Albana. This guy must have some conspiracy."

Xia Yan looked at Robin and asked, "Robin, his target seems to be you. Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He might want to capture me and hand me over to the World government! After all, he is a lackey of the World government." Robin shook his head.

In fact, Robin vaguely guessed Crocodile's purpose in finding her.

The other party was either seeking credit from the World Government for catching him, or it was probably for the legendary Ancient Weapon.

"Well, it's okay if you don't know me."

Xia Yan nodded, then looked at Carina and said, "Carina, you have two choices now, do you want to listen?"

"What choice?"

Carina asked curiously, not understanding why the topic suddenly turned to herself.

Nami and Robin also looked at Xia Yan quietly.
