One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

Crocodile claims to be a person who doesn't care about his partners and believes that as long as he is strong, that's all.

But when you really meet a decent partner, your attitude will be completely opposite.

Take Bowness for example. Bowness in the original book was personally recruited by him. Even if he was injured by Hawkeye in the war on the top, he would be very angry and concerned about it.

Crocodile had no intention of fighting with Moria, but he was just slapped in the face suddenly, and people like him valued face very much.

Angry and young, he had a record of winning and losing with Barret, the descendant of the devil on the Pirate King's ship, so he became arrogant.

He is very confident in his own strength and believes that even if he cannot defeat him, he can still escape through his abilities!

"I won't mind if you let me go for poaching or something like that. It's their right to leave if they want." Moria stared at Crocodile and said, "But I don't allow you to smear my companions. You are not allowed to distort the truth!”

Crocodile stood motionless on the spot. After all, he was a rare strong man in this world, and there was no way he would have stage fright.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Sand continued to condense under Crocodile's feet. At the same time, the plants on the surface were still withering and the ground began to dry out.

This is Crocodile using the Devil Fruit's ability to absorb water from the surface and create a terrain that is beneficial to himself.

"Back off!"

If the two of them fight, the impact will be very wide.

Everyone retreated after hearing this. Since Moria didn't ask them to come together, they must be sure to defeat their opponents.

In the surrounding air, sand and dust gradually increased, and then moved in a very strange state.

"I originally didn't want to fight you, but it's come to this point. Let me see what you are capable of, being able to become a Shichibukai before me!"

Crocodile did not think that Moria would be his opponent. As for becoming the Shichibukai first, it would only destroy five islands and attract the attention of the World Government. If he were to come, it would only be a matter of blowing a few sandstorms.

"Desert sword!"

Crocodile was the first to attack, and his arm quickly turned into a sand blade, and then turned into a huge sand blade and slashed towards Moria's standing position instantly.

Although it was made of sand, its power was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary blade. Moria felt the sharp slash approaching quickly in front of him, and he dodged it instantly after predicting the trajectory.

next moment.

A very deep ravine appeared in Moriah's position and in front of him, and the ground was directly torn open by a huge sand blade.

"Boom!"

The rocks next to the gully collapsed instantly and extended into the distance. This kind of power was beyond the reach of even ordinary swordsmen.

Moria seemed to have heard nothing, and drew out the long knife on his back, with a cold light flashing.

"Are you still a master with a knife?"

Crocodile stared at Moria, with a strange look in his eyes. He was so arrogant that he didn't understand some people at all.

He just knew that Moria was a shadow fruit user, but at this moment, this fruit user did not intend to use the fruit ability, but planned to fight him with a knife.

This makes Crocodile somewhat unpredictable.

He was not allowed to think too much, and Crocodile suddenly waved his right hand when he saw Moria approaching quickly.

moment.

Beside Moria, countless sand and dust condensed into a sand blade, which penetrated into the former's chest at an extremely fast speed.

"Uh-huh!"

The sand blade was inserted directly into Moria's body, but the scene of blood spraying did not appear.

Crocodile took a closer look, only to find that what he had just hit was just a shadow. As for Moria's body...

"The second type, Zhuhua Nongyue!"

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Feeling the sense of crisis coming from behind him, Crocodile's hands turned into four large sand blades, and then the sand blades that were sharper than before were instantly slashed out behind him.

At the same time, a sharp half-moon slash shot out from behind him, and then collided with the sand blade, and the dust instantly blocked his vision.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The desert sword and the half-moon slash canceled each other out, and the small crescent slash attached to the latter directly cut through the sand and struck towards Crocodile.

In an instant, Crocodile was beaten with holes all over his body, but then the former's body began to slowly condense, and he used the Shasha Fruit to become elemental.

Although he avoided Moria's slashing attack, Crocodile still felt a little bit frightened.

The ability to interchange between shadow and body, coupled with good physical skills, instantly becomes very tricky.

"Qiang!"

The next moment, the golden hook and the long knife collided again, creaking and shaking, seemingly evenly matched.

When the golden hook was about to be unable to stop him, Crocodile's arm instantly turned into sand and swung towards Moria.

"Arc-moon-shaped sand dune!"

The huge crescent-shaped sand blade in front of him came towards him, and Moria also felt the crisis.

This sand blade will not cause damage immediately, but it will be more terrifying instead of other moves. Once hit by it, the water in the body will be drained and turned into a mummy.

"Shadow scapegoat!"

Just when the sand blade was about to hit, the black shadow condensed in front of Moria, blocking all the sand blades, and the sand blades dissipated and shattered.

Moria naturally would not miss this opportunity, and then directly covered his legs with armed domineering force, and instantly kicked Crocodile on the right side of his waist.

"boom!"

This scene happened so suddenly that Crocodile didn't have enough time to react. The next moment, he saw the figure flying out, and then hit the ground heavily in the distance.

"Armed Haki?"

As the smoke and dust dispersed, Crocodile quickly stood up, covering his waist where he felt intense pain with his hands, his expression extremely solemn.

When it comes to actual fighting, he always feels like it's one versus two, but fruit abilities are fruit abilities after all, and they don't count.

The terrifying thing about the Shadow Fruit is exactly this. The stronger the body, the stronger the shadow, resulting in the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Because although the shadow and the body are divided into two, they are one body. The shadow and the body can be replaced at will, and they can also share each other's perceptions.

The development direction of the Shadow Fruit is not the fruit, but the users themselves!

"Shalan!"

Before the smoke and dust dissipated completely, the dust was seen swirling in Crocodile's hand, and then it became bigger and bigger, until it was heading towards a strong sandstorm.

The swirling sand and dust gathered more and more, became more and more powerful, and seemed to be able to lock on, rapidly approaching Moria.

The surrounding airflow was affected, hurricanes roared, and dust swirled.

The members of the Moonlight Pirates hid behind the giant wolf and instantly became clear.

Not far away, close to the port, a beautiful figure pressed down on his hat and quickly approached the fighting position against the wind pressure.

When she saw the fighting people, she immediately froze.

Crocodile and Moonlight Moria turned out to be two Shichibukai designated by the world government to be at war.

Especially after seeing the latter, her legs softened immediately. If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't have rested for several days, waiting for the swelling to subside before looking for Crocodile, another Shichibukai candidate.

This beautiful figure is none other than Stussy, who has fought with Moriah several times.

Thinking about it, Stusy was a little scared. She couldn't drink the large amount of rice porridge, and it would overflow if she drank any more.

At this moment, Moria was concentrating on the battle and had no time to care about anything else. When he saw the sandstorm roaring in front of him, he took a deep breath and then slowly raised the knife.

"The breath of the moon, the shape of Qi, the mirror of misfortune, the reflection of the moon!"

Moria waved his long sword, and in an instant, five giant shock waves spread out in front of him.

The shock wave generated by this slash was different from all the previous slashes. In the past, the slashes sent by Moria were silver-white, but this time it was purple.

In every aspect, it is much stronger than the original slash.

"Boom!"

Five huge shock waves were seen directly tearing holes in the ground, and accompanied by the huge vibration of landslides and ground cracks, sharp slashes rushed directly into the violent sandstorm.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The huge shock wave directly entered the sandstorm, and then disappeared. The next moment, the sharp slash directly exploded, directly smashing the sandstorm from the inside.

The surrounding area became quiet instantly, and the sand brought up by the hurricane quickly fell to the ground.

but.

The slashing attack was not over yet, and there were still weak arc-shaped shock waves shooting towards Crocodile.

Crocodile was stunned for a moment. Obviously he had not expected this situation, but he reacted quickly and directly retracted his palm and touched the ground.

"Desert Shield!"

The next moment, the sand in front of him condensed rapidly, forming a thick shield of sand within a moment.

The sand shield collided with the shock wave, and there was only a bang, the aftermath shook, and the sand and dust flew up.

This sand-breaking slash made Stussy not far away stunned. Some time ago, she told Moonlight that Moria was the most powerful man she had ever seen, but it was not clear in what aspect.

Now it seems that this is a great skill in every aspect!

Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful man she has ever seen. The other strong men she has ever seen include Charlotte Lingling, but this is a woman.

The fight between the two was in full swing, and Stussy did not dare to step forward, fearing that he would be beaten severely now and shot when night fell.

Crocodile's face darkened. After such a long confrontation, he also had a certain understanding of Moria. Not only was the fruit disgusting, but his physical strength was also very long-lasting, and his swordsmanship was also very superb. He would have no advantage in fighting like this.

“Swiss, swiss, swish!”

Crocodile let out a low shout, pressed his palm to the ground, and the power of the Shasha Fruit spread out instantly.

"Erosion... reincarnation!"

Centered on Crocodile's location, the ground instantly changed color and turned into sand, and quickly spread in all directions. Trees and rocks collapsed and shattered, and then turned into a long stretch of yellow sand.

Seeing this scene, Moria's expression changed slightly, which always gave him a feeling:

"Could it be that the fruit power is awakening?"

Shaking his head, Moria stopped thinking about it. After all, the ability to change the ground and the objects it touches is the ability of the superhuman devil fruit after awakening, and it may not be applicable to the natural devil fruit.

The Moonlight Pirates retreated one after another when they saw the spreading yellow sand. Although they didn't know what the sand meant, they still had better not touch it.

Stussy also used Moon Step and ran into the air, looking at the two fighting men without blinking, but in this harsh environment it was easy for sand to enter.

"Heavy Shalan!"

After the surrounding sand turned into sand, the sandstorm launched by Crocodile again became several times stronger in an instant. Even if he used the Mirror of Misfortune again, it might not be able to completely destroy it.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The hurricane sandstorm whizzed past, but this time it did not resist, but moved to the side, and then directly resisted the wind pressure and slashed towards Crocodile's position when the sandstorm did not react.

Moria's arm and the long sword in his hand were covered with armed color domineering at the same time.

Crocodile's face changed. After all, he had experienced many battles and was experienced. I saw that the golden hook on his left hand was also covered with armed color domineering in an instant. He could use two-color domineering, but the strength was not enough.

He relied too much on the ability of the fruit, which led to the training of physical skills and domineering falling behind.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The golden hook and the blade collided several times again, and Crocodile gradually fell behind, after all, his physical skills were a bit lagging behind.

Just when Crocodile could not resist, the sandstorm he had just released whistled in, and Moria was worth exchanging with the shadow in an instant.

The next moment, the shadow was caught in the violent hurricane sandstorm, torn to pieces, and the fragmented shadow condensed again.

The sandstorm that can lock onto a target is indeed a headache, but Moria just smiled slightly, and then he took out another heavy blade with a strange shape.

"Evil spirits are haunting!"

In an instant, thick armor wrapped around his whole body, and after being completely covered, he could not recognize his original appearance at all, and looked like a robot.

Without much hesitation, Moria, who was haunted by evil spirits, directly activated his ability.

Under the gaze of everyone, Moria disappeared out of thin air.

"Is this...disappeared on the spot? Or is it just invisible?"

At this moment, Crocodile was dumbfounded again, staring at the place where Moria disappeared, and at the same time, Moria's shadow also disappeared on the spot.

The sandstorm also lost its target and didn't know where to move.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

A subtle sound of footsteps sounded, and fortunately, the surroundings were sandified by Crocodile, so that the footprints approaching could be clearly found.

However.

Although Crocodile found the footprints at the first time, he pretended not to find them, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

When the footsteps reached the right place, Crocodile stopped acting and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Desert Sword!"

His right hand turned into sand, and then a sharp sand blade cut the owner of the footprint in front of him in half. This was indeed a concentration, and Crocodile could clearly sense it.

"Haha, you are playing tricks, go to hell!"

At this moment, Crocodile's hair was disheveled, and he laughed triumphantly for the first time in a long time.

But before he could be proud for too long, a sense of danger came to his heart.

"Swish!"

An extremely sharp blade instantly pierced into his left lower back and penetrated his body. The blade was red, which was his blood!

Then, Moria's voice came from behind:

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong!"

Moria lifted the transparency, and in Crocodile's sight, the guy he hit...

was actually... Moria's shadow!

Crocodile's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was tricked!
