Chapter 342 Red Hair VS Sand Crocodile

Hawkeye left, leaving only two people on the battlefield.

"Ha~ha~haha, red hair, let's play a game!"

Crocodile squatted down and put his palms on the sand, his eyes full of contempt, the look he would have when toying with a weak opponent.

"When do you think the sandstorm will be the strongest?"

"."

Shanks's heart skipped a beat. He had never understood sandstorms, but his intuition told him that there must be danger here!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With four continuous roars, a large amount of sand and dust poured out from the four corners of the island, like fountains, forming a new sandstorm.

The four sandstorms rotated slowly. They were not large in scale and could be cut away with just one knife, but they gave him a frightening sense of crisis!

"Under the right environment, sandstorms will thrive as they advance, eventually becoming a super natural disaster that covers the sky and the sun, and can destroy a city in a snap!"

As Crocodile explained, four sandstorms began to move, slowly rotating and shrinking around the island.

"In just an hour, they will be where we are!"

"Red Hair, what do you think will happen when these four sandstorms converge at one point and collide with each other?"

"Ha~ha~haha, everything except me will be crushed to pieces, and not even the bones can be found!"

"."

Shanks' expression suddenly changed. If Crocodile said it was true, then he would face not only powerful enemies, but also real natural disasters!

That is a force that humans cannot resist!

Shanks raised Griffin and pointed the tip of the knife at Crocodile: "As long as I defeat you within an hour, that's it, right?"

"No, even if you defeat me, the sandstorm will not stop."

Crocodile grinned.

"That's fun, isn't it?"

"What a bad taste."

Shanks' heart sank. He must defeat Crocodile before the sandstorm blocks his retreat.

No time wasted!

"boom!"

His legs suddenly exerted force, and his body jumped out like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Crocodile, and the domineering blade slashed at Crocodile's neck!

"It's really fast!"

Crocodile was well prepared. The moment Shanks moved, he jumped back and his right arm turned into a blade of sand!

"Crescent Dune!"

The crescent-shaped sand blade swept out and collided with the incoming blade!

"puff!"

The Sand Blade collapsed again!

Crocodile's eyes were calm and he was not surprised at all.

He knew from previous fights that the red-haired man was more domineering than him, and the sand blade was not very hard, so it was normal for it to be broken.

However, just buying a little time is enough!

The moment he landed and stabilized his body, his arms turned into sand again, pouring power into the ground!

“Desert Sunflower!”

"boom!"

The sand within a circular area of ​​100 meters in diameter suddenly sank, like a funnel, and the sand flowed toward the center!

This is quicksand hell!

Shanks bore the brunt of it, and the more he struggled, the deeper his feet sank.

"Hahahahahaha, with clever use and hard training, the power of Devil Fruit will become extremely powerful!"

"I'm different from those idiots who only rely on their abilities. After hellish training, my mastery of abilities has reached the strongest state, which is awakening!"

"Understand, we are not pirates of the same level. You don't even have the ability to defeat me!"

Crocodile said harsh words, but his eyes were not relaxed at all, but he was highly concentrated.

After being beaten by Kaido for four months, he deeply realized the consequences of close combat with a domineering strong man. If he was stuck by the red hair, he would definitely be the loser!

Take advantage of now and attack with all your strength!

The right arm turned into a blade of sand again, slashing down from top to bottom!

"Oops!"

Shanks' eyes narrowed, and he caught Crocodile's attack, and immediately slashed to the ground below with his sword!

"Empty Split Slash!"

With a "bang" sound, the sand exploded together with the air, and the strong reaction force pushed Shanks into the sky!

At the same time, the blade of sand fell from the sky!

"Desert Sword!"

"boom!"

The earth trembled and dust rose into the sky.

The huge ravine has no end as far as the eye can see, and seems to be cutting open the desert!

"so close!"

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief. If this slash fell on him, even if he used Armament Haki to defend, he would definitely be injured.

Haki can be used for defense, but it is not omnipotent. As long as the power of the attack exceeds the limit of Haki, then Haki can be defeated.

"Don't try to escape!"

Crocodile inserted his palm into the ground, turned into a sand blade and sneaked underground, and quickly came under Shanks!

"Desert Greatsword!"

The Great Sword of Sand that springs out from the ground not only attacks extremely fast, but is also very stealthy, making it ideal for sneak attacks.

Feeling the attack from below, Shanks forcibly twisted his body and swung his sword to meet the thrusting Desert Sword, but this time, his sword did not cut through the Sand Sword.

"Lend me your strength!"

Shanks withdrew his strength slightly, and his body immediately flew backwards under the push of the desert sword, successfully landing outside the quicksand area.

"call!"

When he stepped on relatively stable sand, Shanks couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The response just now seems simple, but in fact it is a great test of timing. If you are not careful, you may be stabbed by the sword of sand.

Even if he could resist with his domineering force, his body would still be in pain, and he would still have to face Crocodile's follow-up attacks.

"What a difficult man!"

Crocodile is more difficult to deal with than he imagined. The sand that can change its shape at will is both offensive and defensive, and can deal with various emergencies.

"So thirsty!"

Shanks licked his chapped lips, and a desire for water arose in his heart. He knew that this was also Crocodile's ability.

The water in the body is being lost.

In his current state, he probably wouldn't be able to last an hour.

"Redhead, you don't have time to rest!"

Crocodile clenched his fists and adjusted his breathing rhythm.

The fight between one against two consumed a lot of his energy. Now he must save his energy to prepare for the final stage.

He looked towards the sea in the distance, his eyes gradually filled with bloodshot eyes and strong unwillingness!

"I will use my power to defeat your domineering power and prove to that domineering bastard that Devil Fruit power is the strongest!"

"Domineering bastard?"

Shanks was shocked. Hearing the meaning of Crocodile's words, it seemed that he had lost to a monster who was good at domineering, and he had deep resentment.

But now is not the time to think about that.

The four sandstorms were rotating and shrinking, and his physical condition was rapidly declining, leaving him less and less time.

However, he could not find a way to win and was once at a disadvantage.

This is destined to be a hard and protracted battle.
