The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Bang, boom, boom!

Crocodile, who flew out like water, seemed to have given up resistance, and Luffy also remembered Roman's advice, don't give the opponent a chance to retaliate, and suddenly rushed forward to continue chasing! Both reach the edge of the square almost simultaneously with the front and rear feet, but:

"enough,"

In the indifferent voice, one rolled back and stood up neatly. With a snap, Luffy's fist was held in the right palm by Crocodile who turned over! Unsurprisingly:

"Sure enough, I can't suck you dry because of this."

On the surface of Luffy's body and fists, there are also layers of Roman's 'life paper'!

"Why, don't you feel ashamed to use the power of others to 'duel'?"

Facing the provocation of Crocodile with his back and head scattered, Luffy just looked at each other seriously, without a trace of dodge in his eyes.

"Borrowing the strength of your companions, of course there is no problem."

"It should be said that the word 'companion' exists only to support each other and go on!"

Boom!

The other hand fought with the opponent's golden hook, and both sides retreated at the same time. Now Luffy is 'stronger' than usual, of course it is because of Roman and his fusion skills.

Paper Dance-Rubber-Knight Luffy!

"So, you are a pirate, why do you want to meddle in your own business?"

Crocodile spread his hands, speechless.

"What do you think you are?—A navy with justice written on its back? Or a 'hero' who does justice? Or..."

"Do not!"

Luffy clenched his fists, "Because Vivi is our partner!"

? ?

"Hey, hey, do you know what you're talking about? You're going to risk your life for a guy you've just met,—what good did that princess promise you? I can give you ten times..."

"Because you made Vivi cry!"

? ? ?

"this······"

Crocodile, who was trying to launch a "talking gun", finally felt the same pain as Roman. The other party is not on the same channel as you at all, so it's a fart.

"Whoever makes my partner cry, I will never spare him!"

However, Luffy's serious expression and firm eyes on the opposite side made Crocodile speechless, because his "knowledge-colored arrogance" clearly felt the boy on the opposite side——

Whether it's body or soul, it's always the same!

"Partner, partner!"

Gritting its teeth, the sand crocodile slowly bent down, showing an attacking posture.

"One or two are holding this kind of boring fantasy, where do you think the great route is? How cruel do you think the world of pirates is—"

"The great route is a place full of adventures, and the world of pirates is our adventure experience!"

Luffy's words interrupted Crocodile's anger, making the group of straw hats and Weiwei, who were seriously injured next to them, smile.

"Well said, Captain!"

"Luffy, come on!"

"Shoot that bastard crocodile—"

"Hmph, this guy~~"

"Hahaha,"

Roman, who was sitting in a wheelchair, rubbed his cheeks, he had disarmed his form, and focused on covering Luffy with the paper. If you want to ask why he dares to make such big claims, of course it is because:

"Nicole Robin!?"

The tall, intellectual beauty in a white windbreaker was already standing beside Roman, looking as if she was her own. ——not the highest cadre of the Baroque studio codenamed Miss. All Sunday.

"Sorry, boss."

"No, or Mr. Crocodile."

"Unfortunately, I have decided to resign—just now."

"you?!"

"Okay, Mr. Crocodile, stop pretending." Roman waved his hand. "Anyway, you would have killed Nicole Robin the moment you achieved your goal, so you never trusted her at all. Or you never trusted anyone! In contrast—"

Roman raised his chin, and the direction was Luffy who was confronting Crocodile.

"This is my captain,"

"Compared with my captain's bearing, Mr. Sand Crocodile, with all due respect—"

"You're like a dog."

It's not cursing, but the best portrayal of Crocodile's current expression: envy and hatred are written on his ferocious face, like a wild dog wandering in the wind and rain without a home, facing the lights with the same eyes.

court death--

Biao!

The figure flashed, and the black coat magnified rapidly in Roman's pupils, making Nico Robin next to him subconsciously cross his hands on his chest and prepare to activate his ability. but,

Biao!

A figure with a red waistcoat and short black hair stood in front of Roman first! Amidst the ear-piercing clang, the fist wrapped in layers of white paper forcibly withstood the golden scimitar in Crocodile's hand.

"you--"

"What do you want to do to my companion?"

"Rubber Boy!"

Baroque Studios has been wiped out, and the Straw Hats are all wounded. Now the duel between the two captains remains! Their victory or defeat not only determines the fate of the two 'ships', but also determines the future of thousands of people in the kingdom of Alabasta.

rumbling,

Watching Crocodile and Luffy, who were tumbling and fighting together, the building collapsed and the square cracked amidst every move!

Even Roman, who had confidence in Luffy, was also holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, not knowing whether it was sweat or rain in his hands. He must launch the 'White Knight' to cover Luffy with all his strength, without affecting his attacking movements, which requires a sophisticated 'knowledge-like arrogance'.

Luffy's melee combat is definitely considered a master in Pirate World - after all, it was educated by Garp.

In addition, Roman's life paper is immune to Crocodile's most terrifying "water absorption" ability, and the super high defense brought by layers of paper regardless of consumption, "Knight Luffy" already has the ability to fight against the opponent's chamber.

Nami's artificial rainfall with dancing powder can last for half an hour, and now there is still half of the time. And as long as the rain doesn't stop, Crocodile's 'rustle fruit' will continue to be suppressed.

It's my time!

This is the Naferutali Palace of the royal family of Alabasta, a building made of solid rock. At the same time, the entire city has long been sprinkled with a lot of water to keep it moist. Coupled with the rain, the surrounding environment has no trace of a desert.

The location is in my favor!

A series of 'obstructions' and 'provocations' have already greatly reduced Crocodile's state. In addition, even if the people around are not involved in the battle, the murderous aura and hostility will also distract Crocodile's knowledgeable arrogance, and Luffy, who is wearing paper, can be single-minded...

People and me!

The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people——if you can't win this way, then there is really no other way. so:

"Luffy, beat that crocodile away!!"

"Luffy~~Come on~~~"

"captain,"

"Get rid of him!"

"Boy... please—"

All kinds of incentives turned into inexplicable mental fluctuations, entangled in Lu Fei! On the other hand, on the Crocodile side, only impotent rage remained.

"Do you think you can beat me like this?"

Under the entanglement of Roman's paper regardless of the price, Lu Fei's fists and feet dare to head-to-head with the opponent's golden hook and sword! Even if there are occasional attacks that tear the paper and fall on Luffy, with his tough physique, he can completely resist these attacks.

So even though he was covered in blood, Luffy became braver and braver as he fought! On the other hand, Crocodile was already restless, especially the people around him were full of murderous intentions towards him, and the continuous cheering made him even more restless.

Hmph, to be able to push me to this level...

Don't underestimate my experience in crossing the sea!

The desert sword in his hand flashed at the moment when Luffy's fists clashed again! Crocodile repeated the same trick, the huge attraction on the knife suddenly pulled in a circle, and Luffy, who was caught off guard, pulled his fists away, and then the golden hook of the other hand slammed at the opponent's head! In order to guarantee the power of this blow——

"Armed color - winding!"

After a long battle, Crocodile finally used his trump card! If there are talented people who can learn without a teacher in the first half of the great route of "knowledge-color domineering", then "armed-color domineering" is a top secret among top secrets!

Armed color domineering can enhance personal defense, acting like invisible armor; it can also evolve into attack power, and then compete with devil fruit ability users, and even touch the entity of "natural" fruit ability users.

To put it simply, in addition to attacking and defending, armed domineering has the function of restraining the "devil fruit" in it!

"Die, Rubber Kid!"

Even if you are wearing that kid's paper, even if it is your rubber fruit ability, in front of my armed domineering, they will all be penetrated——

Boom! !

The huge golden hook slammed heavily on Luffy's forehead, and in an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent! Everyone stared at Luffy, who was hit on the forehead by Crocodile, with eyes full of concern, only the sound of raindrops falling.

···········

"Luffy······"

"do not worry--"

Facing Weiwei who subconsciously stretched forward, Roman waved to stop her, but he didn't notice that his voice was trembling.

He was caught directly from the "elementalization" by the opponent's "armed domineering"...

"whee···"

? ? ? ?

On the square where only raindrops fell, Luffy's voice suddenly sounded! If other people are just surprised and greatly relieved, then Crocodile facing Luffy is shocked, frightened, frightened, frightened...

Looking up, ignoring the blood left on his forehead, Luffy just grinned.

"Your soft attack is much worse than my grandpa's fist!"

? ? ? ?

"Hahahahaha~~~~~"

Roman was the first to react, covering his forehead and laughing wildly.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I feel ridiculous for my 'worries' just now. ——If you want to say who among the Straw Hats has the highest resistance to domineering, it is undoubtedly Luffy who is often beaten by the top armed domineering!

A mere sand crocodile, you are so armed and domineering in front of Luffy's grandfather Garp, you really don't deserve to lift your shoes.

"you?!"

But Crocodile doesn't know this. In his opinion, the other party actually mocked him that he was not even as good as an old man——

It is tolerable or unbearable!

————————

Karp: To put it mildly... your arrogance is a piece of shit.
