The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"I've said it all, I'm Roman."

Even Roman, faced with the situation in front of him, was a little confused for a while. How to prove that "I" is "I"... What kind of philosophical problem is this?

Especially in the case that the "cloning man" made by the Red Earl can perfectly copy the target's ability, thinking, and memory, then there are only:

"Armed and Covered!"

Metal light glowed all over his body, and Roman tapped his 'steel' body.

"Is this considered evidence?"

However, Nami still didn't put down "The Thief's Ultimate Intention" in her hand, "Your information is not accurate at all, 'Aaron' just used armed domineering in the battle just now."

?

"It should be that the Red Earl bestowed his domineering aura on the 'replicant', which is essentially the same as my 'White Knight'. But—"

There is one item that is definitely unique to Roman and useless to the Red Earl:

Roman's domineering look with 'perspective'!

stare,

"The underwear you're wearing today is—"

? !

Twisted waist punches, domineering coverage, all done in one go! !

Boom! !

"Very good, good armed color domineering."

Roman nodded calmly. Although he was caught off guard by Nami's domineering fist, the relief outweighed the pain.

Doesn't this mean that both parties can prove themselves to be the 'real deity'? As expected of Nami, she thought of a 'best of both worlds' solution so quickly.

Looking up at the sky, this time the white pigeon released by Roman was not destroyed by the Red Earl again. Maybe the other party disdains to destroy it? Anyway, in the eyes of the white pigeons, it should be a normal island, with various terrains and buildings of different styles pieced together, and the closest to 'Along Park' is:

"Since others have prepared the 'stage', if we don't 'dance' to the next song, wouldn't it be too ignorant?"

?!

"Let's go then,"

Facing Nami who closed the book, Roman picked her up and stepped on her feet, and leaped away into the distance with a bang! And as they left, 'Aaron Park' was restored to a piece of farmland outside the town amidst a wave of water.

As Roman flew all the way with Nami, he quickly crossed the farmland under his feet and broke into a piece of land:

The dunes are undulating, in the dry and barren desert!

It's as obtrusive as a wrong game texture.

"Could it be here?"

"That's right, it's Vivi's country." Roman looked up and looked forward. After the white pigeon was not intercepted, he had already seen the city in the desert and the figure standing on the top of the kingdom.

"Hahaha~~"

Amidst the confident and cruel laughter, the man in the black coat opened his arms to welcome Roman and Nami who were flying at high speed.

"Long time no see, 'White Knight' Roman."

"Yo, Laosha~~"

"...Look at this familiar place under our feet, the relationship between us is not 'friendly' to the point of greeting each other by nicknames?"

"Okay, it seems that the 'BOSS' of this level is you?"

"That's right, defeating me is your only choice!"

Roman let go of Nami and stepped forward alone, while Nami activated the "fluttering ability" to float in the air at the same time. It was obvious that Roman was going to face Crocodile alone.

"This time, there is no 'dancing powder' to rain."

Facing Crocodile's words, Roman stretched out his palm, and a long sword "spit out" from his palm.

"Now I don't need external force to defeat you."

"Guhahaha, then come and enjoy our rematch—"

Facing the domineering Roman, Crocodile slammed his right hand on the palace under his feet. Knowing Roman's strength, he chose the start and went all out.

"Corrosion Reincarnation!"

A khaki-yellow light exploded from his right hand, and in the next instant, the yellow-brown light had spread to the entire palace.

In the light like yellow sand all over the sky, the earth, plants, buildings... are all dyed with a layer of yellowish brown. In this domineering and cold light, the world is full of indescribable indifference and dryness! Everything seems to have gone through thousands of years in an instant, decaying rapidly and turning into yellow sand.

"Momo 50 times shock sword!"

The huge sword light was like a meteor falling, and it slammed towards the collapsed palace! The current Roman is no longer comparable to the Straw Hats who needed to use 'artificial rainfall', psychological interference, wheel tactics, and desperate outbreaks back then, even if it was head-on——

Puff! ! !

"Golden coffin!"

However, this sword did not kill Crocodile in an instant. On the ruins of the completely corroded palace, a huge golden 'coffin' stood up! Although it was almost split in half by Roman's sword, it really blocked the blow!

Above the coffin that towered like a skyscraper, shone with metallic light, and the glyphs full of desert style looked even more majestic in the sunlight.

"This is a powerful defense formed by gathering the 'metal' in the desert. Even the old guy's 'shock ability' can never be broken in one blow! In other words, my sand itself restrains the shake fruit ,after all:"

"Sand has no fixed form—"

A huge amount of yellow sand suddenly spewed out from the 'Golden Coffin' split by Roman, turning into a golden giant sword and stabbing at Roman... No, it should have hit at high speed! The huge size alone can cause powerful damage, and the hundreds of millions of gravel on the giant sword are all moving at high speed like countless chainsaws.

"Golden Great Sword!!"

"Momo 10 times domineering compressed sword!"

In the face of quicksand, the 'shock ability' is indeed restrained to a certain extent. Roman simply put the double arrogance on the long sword directly, swung the long sword directly within the range that the body could bear, and slashed head-on.

"Tear it apart—"

Sparks suddenly exploded in the sky! That was the spark from the friction between Roman's long sword and the high-speed moving gravel when he split the golden general of Crocodile. At the same time, Roman himself was covered with armed domineering, ignoring the dense yellow sand flying like bullets and high-temperature sparks. , hacking all the way down!

The condescending sword split the skyscraper-like yellow sand in two, the golden sword, the golden coffin, and Crocodile hiding behind.

Puff!

Crocodile was cut in half by Roman's sword without any resistance, but:

"it's useless,"

Crocodile's body, which was split into two halves, exposed not flesh and blood, but yellow sand! In the next moment, the split sand crocodile turned into two golden sand spears and stabbed Roman in the face.

"Golden gun forest!"

Tsk,

The long sword in his hand circled and swiped, and perfect circles appeared in front of Roman, rejecting the sand gun. Then:

Leaping backwards, with a clattering sound, two white wings grew from behind Roman and hovered in the air. He looked at the place where he was standing just now, there was a sand gun rising from the ground like a forest of thorns!

"I said, Lao Sha, are you too obscene?"

"Guhahaha, you actually want me to fight you in melee without 'dominance'?"

"And don't forget, how you dealt with me back then—"

Although the "replicant" does not have any domineering power without the gift of the Red Earl. But Crocodile can also evade Roman's attack by wandering freely in the desert, and as long as the power of the natural system is developed, it will be earth-shattering. for example:

It was clearly a scorching sun, but a ray shot up into the sky, like a long rainbow penetrating the sun, and it seemed that the vast and boundless golden yellow completely covered the sun. The entire sky was a misty yellow, and the scorching sun turned into a ring of flickering setting sun.

"Huge golden Shalan!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire battlefield was covered by billowing sandstorms! For a moment, only the rumbling sound resounded throughout the sky, and even the deserts in all directions seemed to be swallowed up by this golden tornado that soared into the sky, turning into wind and sand all over the sky.

Connecting the sky and the earth, it seems like the end of the world!

"I said, Lao Sha..."

Roman can't complain, although he knows that Crocodile's full shot must be extraordinary, but:

"Did you get into a fight with Tezoro recently? The skill names all have the word 'gold'. Those who don't know think you are the one with the ability of 'Golden Fruit'."

"..."

"If it was someone else, they might really fall here when they meet you..."

Is Crocodile strong?

There is no doubt that they are strong. When it comes to war, among the powerful men on both sides of the navy and pirates, which one of Crocodile did not go to "touch"? Pirates' 50-50 split is not just a bragging rights.

And it was different from when he was beaten by Whitebeard and wanted to rely on the ancient weapon 'Pluto'. This Crocodile in front of him was in the 'period of complete victory', and he was a fierce man who could tie with Barrett.

Although there is no domineering, but relying on the blessing of the "sand fruit" in the desert terrain, and using this "shameless" mage tactic, the current straw hat group dare to say that they will win except Luffy——

"That must be me!"

In a sandstorm tornado that is so huge that it winds like a giant dragon, the yellow sand in the sky can cut flesh and bones, and destroy gold and iron! But Roman, who was domineering and armed, was as immovable as a mountain. As his domineering knowledge swept away, Crocodile, who was hiding in the yellow sand, felt cold all over. Before he could move away from the intuition of being targeted, a figure suddenly moved towards He rushed in his direction.

At the same time, Roman took the pose of 'drawing the sword' in mid-air:

"Momo Fifty Times Electromagnetic Sword!"

Danger! !

Even without the knowledgeable arrogance, Crocodile's own experience is still crazily reminding him, making him raise his hands subconsciously:

"gold····"

zzz -

The scorching white light suddenly shone, mercilessly piercing through the huge tornado sandstorm! !

The direction the light is pointing to is Crocodile in the desert. Along this track, all the yellow sand along the way melts, solidifies, and crystallizes instantly under high temperature, turning into a colorful passage '.

And Crocodile's half-summoned 'Golden Coffin' has already been pierced mercilessly, with shattered yellow sand and metal fragments flying all over the sky! Like a plank trying to block the shells.

"What a beautiful attack..."

Without an armed domineering bodyguard, no matter how strong an ability user is, he is still a 'glass cannon'.

The wind and sand stopped, and the sun once again shone on the earth. Crocodile, who was stabbed through the chest by Roman, wiped the hole in his chest.

"Since that old guy died..."

"No matter how much I fight... no matter how much I fight..."

"My heart is just dry..."

Bang~~

In the exploding smoke, only a leaf slowly drifted down.

"Unbelievable,"

"We actually defeated such an opponent back then."

Nami, who watched the battle from a distance, flew back and looked around the battlefield in disbelief. If Crocodile hadn't been arrogant back then, the start would have been this intensity...

"People have the motivation to move forward because they have a goal to fight for."

And Crocodile... Ever since he was defeated by Whitebeard, he has long forgotten his dream. As for his feelings for White Beard, maybe even he himself doesn't know.

"Let's go, let's go to the next area."

Except for Crocodile, there is no one here, and there are partners of the Straw Hats in other areas who are fighting the enemy. If you want to gather all the members, you have to go around all the areas.
