One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

"Fire·Liberation!"

As An's words fell, dark blue flames appeared from An's feet, spreading to both sides along an arc-shaped trajectory, leaving two half-moon-shaped flame paths.

"puff!"

The two paths intersected, and the fused flames dissipated with a soft sound. In Crocodile's eyes, a circular ice city wall more than ten meters high quickly rose, and a simple duel field was formed.

After clenching their fists and making a creaking sound, seeing that their master was about to leave in person, the two birds spread their wings and flew towards the towering ice wall in the distance.

After the two birds left, An disappeared in an instant.

In the duel field, everyone was looking for traces of An. Wisps of yellow sand were floating around him. Crocodile's body remained in a semi-elemental state at all times.

"Are you looking for me?" An suddenly appeared behind Crocodile.

The voice sounded like a ghost, and Crocodile, who was highly concentrated, was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"When..."

Before he could finish speaking, a white fist locked onto Crocodile with a violent punch, and smashed it into pieces with a heavy punch.

A large amount of yellow sand was carried away by the fist wind, but after a while the yellow sand gathered into the shape of Crocodile, but his face didn't look very good at this moment. Feeling the stinging pain on his back, the punch just now caused a lot of damage even though he used elementalization to dodge it at the last moment.

"Desert sword!"

Secretly worried about An's speed, Crocodile's hand did not stop. The rustling fruit activated, and a sand blade protruded from the ground, splitting the sea of ​​sand and heading straight for An.

He casually smashed the sand blade with his right hand, and An looked at Crocodile in surprise, "You don't know how to be domineering."

Through the attack just now, An clearly sensed that Crocodile did not have domineering power. What is also incomprehensible is how he was able to gallop through the new world and escape from Whitebeard without Haki.

Crocodile naturally knew what domination was, but he didn't answer An's question, or he didn't know the reason himself.

An wasn't angry when the other party didn't answer her question, but planned to use practical actions to express her attitude.

The rich armed color covered the fist, and An disappeared from the spot again. When he reappeared, the black fist had already arrived in front of Crocodile.

"Iron Fist Chiyang!"

The crimson flames covered it, and a powerful and heavy punch hit Crocodile directly in the chest, but this time it was different. As early as the moment An punched, the latter had already transformed into elements to avoid An's attack. .

With a cold smile on his face, Crocodile looked at him proudly, "Go to hell, kid!"

"Desert Cage!"

Manipulating the sand to flow in, a desert cage locked An's body tightly.

"Kid, in addition to killing people, my sand can also extract moisture from other people's bodies." Like a villain, Crocodile explained his abilities to himself, as if victory was right in front of him.

Clenching his right hand tightly, the desert cage shrank, and Crocodile began to extract the water from An's body.

"Why, maybe..." The proud smile didn't last long, and Crocodile stopped laughing because he couldn't drain the water out of An's body.

He had only encountered this situation once, and that was when he challenged Whitebeard.

"You laugh so hard."

In the desert cage, a black hand protruded and grabbed Crocodile's neck. As the cage collapsed, a figure wrapped in black material appeared.

"A very good move, but it's a pity that it has no effect on strong people."

He threw Crocodile violently into the sky, his legs slightly bent, and the fiery red cherry blossoms covered his fists. An's legs suddenly exerted force, directly making a big hole in the desert beneath his feet, and with the powerful reaction force, he flew straight into the sky.

"Iron Fist·Brilliant Thunder!"

Rushing upward from the bottom, with his super high speed, An quickly caught up with Crocodile who flew out. The arm slowly lowered, ready to strike, and an unparalleled blow hit him directly in the abdomen, causing a thunderous collision that resounded throughout the world.

On the sand dunes in the distance, a thunder came from the duel arena. Weiwei, who was not sure what was going on, immediately raised her head and saw a black figure flying into the sky behind the ice wall in the distance.

Before anyone could think clearly about who was flying out, An arrived directly above Crocodile on moon steps.

"Iron Fist·Abyss Falls!!"

He clenched his hands into fists, raised them high above his head, and let his body fall from the air. Listening to the sound of wind in his ears, he punched Crocodile in the chest with a powerful force.

"Whoosh!"

The powerful impact caused Crocodile's body to accelerate, causing him to fall at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Bang!!"

Crocodile's strong body hit the desert, and the huge impact cleared the sand within several meters of it.

At the same time, the originally still desert seemed to have experienced an earthquake, making a deafening sound. The calm sand sea began to rise and fall, setting off huge sand waves that far exceeded the height of the ice wall, threatening to destroy everything around it.

"Princess Weiwei, be careful!"

Facing the oncoming waves of sand, Bell hurriedly held Weiwei in his arms.

"One breath."

"Two breaths."

…

I don't know how much time passed, but I still didn't feel the impact of the sand waves. Bell turned around, and a shocking scene appeared in front of Bell.

"Sand waves, stop above their heads!"

He commanded the sand waves to disperse, smiled and put away his staff sword, and nodded to Bell kindly.

In the duel arena, Xiaolan and Xiaohong, who had avoided the sand waves, rode on the wall, looking at Crocodile, who was breathing in more than out, and their spiritual eyes showed deep contempt.

Beside Crocodile, An kicked him with his foot and found that the latter did not move. An muttered: "Is he dead?"

Unlike the previous fight with Diamante on Trii Island, An's strength was far less than it is now. This time, An used 100% of his strength to fight Crocodile.

"Cough, cough..."

After a short cough, Crocodile woke up from his coma, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood from his mouth, and lay on the ground weakly.

"Winners are kings and losers are bandits!"

Crocodile did not beg for mercy, just like if Whitebeard had not deliberately let him go, he would have died long ago, and the woman in front of him, although not as strong as Whitebeard, was far better than himself.

As for running away, such a shameful act once was enough.

A ball of emerald green flame was thrown at Crocodile, and An healed his wounds. If it were any other pirate, he would definitely die today.

But Crocodile is different. In the original work, he played a unique role in the war on the top. Whether it was to help Luffy escape from Impel Down or to stop Akainu in the war on the top, An had to keep him.

For Ace, even sins can be forgiven.
