When you are in the pirate world, the sound of a sheep opens the gate of heaven

If you bully weaklings for a long time, you will be integrated into the segment.

Crocodile is in this state now.

Since he was defeated by Whitebeard more than 20 years ago, he has been lurking in Alabasta to plan for Hades.

In the process of seeking Alabasta, in order to realize his Utopia plan and to make the people of Alabasta believe that he is really a hero of this country, he bullied weaklings in Alabasta for 20 years.

Because he has been facing rubbish pirates who can be easily crushed to death with just a little finger and can hardly hurt him even a hair no matter how hard the opponent tries to attack him, Crocodile's strength has declined greatly.

His physical skills are mediocre, his domineering aura has completely degenerated, and only his relatively exquisite fruit use can be used as the last fig leaf.

It was not until he was repeatedly resolved by Orn in a nearly humiliating way that he was full of confidence in his attacks that he vaguely realized that something was wrong.

However, after all, it was a bad habit that had been developed over a long period of more than 20 years. It was obviously not something that could be easily solved by Orn punching him twice or saying a few words.

Although he was vaguely aware of something wrong, Crocodile still did not face Orn's reminder at this moment, or in other words, he still had not given up his obsession with Hades.

He just felt that he was just unfamiliar with it for a while, which allowed this annoying kid to take advantage of it.

"Want to see real skills? I'll help you!"

Crocodile roared loudly, and the next second, he raised his right hand high.

His right hand turned into a sky full of wind and sand dancing wildly in the air, rolling up the endless yellow sand under his feet to form a huge sandstorm covering an area of ​​more than a thousand meters!

Heavy Sand Storm. Purgatory of Sand!

"Orn, you kid, watch me, don't think that you can show off in front of me just because you have mastered the domineering power. Here, in Alabasta, you will never be able to defeat me!!!"

As he spoke, Crocodile still merged his elemental body with the huge sandstorm.

Such a large-scale sandstorm cannot be easily controlled by the fruit ability alone. Crocodile must completely merge his body into the sandstorm. Only in this way can he completely control this super-large-scale sandstorm.

Huh~

Almost at the moment when Crocodile's body merged with the sandstorm, the intensity of the sandstorm rose to a new level.

The whistling wind was as fierce as the cry of ghosts, and there were countless sharp sand blades mixed in it. If you are not careful, you can leave deep scars on people!

Chi Chi Chi~

In just a blink of an eye, Orn was scratched by countless sand blades because he failed to use the armed color defense in time.

Orn was like this, and Rhea and Peyton were even more unbearable. They could only escape from the turbulent sandstorm with the help of Yamato.

"You come with us."

In the dust, Robin suddenly heard such a voice ringing in her ears. She turned her head back in surprise and found that the person who spoke was the beautiful female pirate who had been standing behind Orn.

Even though she had passed through the sandstorm, she didn't have even a scratch on her body:

"Your president doesn't seem to care about you at all. If you continue to stay in this sandstorm, you will die."

The wounded Robin looked at her blankly and couldn't help asking:

"Why do you want to take me away?"

"Because our captain wants you to be our partner. If he lets you die in this sandstorm, he will definitely be very distressed."

As he said, Yamato grabbed Robin's wrist in a familiar manner:

"Let's go, bah, bah, I don't want to stay here and continue to eat sand!"

As he said, Yamato didn't give Robin a chance to struggle, and dragged her out of the influence of the sandstorm.

"Huh~ much more comfortable."

After leaving the sandstorm, Yamato first breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a pot of water from somewhere and poured it into his palm, and washed his face happily:

"You should wash it too, it's not nice to have sand all over your face."

Robin stared blankly at the face that looked even whiter after washing, and stretched out her hand for some reason:

"Thank...thank you."

"By the way, you seem very strong, don't you plan to help your captain defeat my president?"

After taking a sneak peek at the sandstorm in the distance and making sure that Crocodile had no flaws to take care of this side, Robin asked Yamato in a low voice.

"No need." Yamato stared at the sandstorm in the distance without blinking: "Since it's the captain's battle, as long as he doesn't ask me for help, I don't need to intervene too much. Besides, our captain is also very powerful."

"Is that so..." Robin murmured in a low voice, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking at this time.

…………

Just as Yamato pulled Robin out of the sandstorm, Orn was still struggling to resist the attack from the sandstorm.

It must be said that Crocodile in the desert environment is indeed not to be underestimated.

If he fought with Crocodile in Albana like Luffy in the original work, Orn was confident that he could beat Crocodile to doubt his life within 20 moves.

But in the current desert environment, Crocodile's strength has increased by at least five times.

The storm surrounded by countless sand blades is only secondary, and the more difficult thing is the threat from under his feet.

The Sand Purgatory move used by Crocodile not only created a sandstorm all over the sky, but also condensed into a pool of quicksand at Ornn's feet.

In other words, while Ornn was facing a sandstorm all over the sky, he also had to be distracted by the changes at his feet, which further increased the difficulty of this battle.

However, the current situation is exactly what he wants!

Dong Dong...

Accompanied by a strong heartbeat, Aoun's figure suddenly expanded. In just the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant human-animal form that was eight meters tall. However, correspondingly, after the transformation, the quicksand under his feet Then the limit became even more severe.

"Are you an idiot? You actually dare to transform into a human-animal form in the quicksand. Are you afraid that my sand blade won't be able to aim at you, or do you really want the quicksand to swallow you up?"

Crocodile's mocking laughter came from the strong wind.

But Aoun turned a deaf ear to this. He just took off the black hammer from his waist after entering the human-animal form and hit the quicksand in front of him hard.

Chi chi chi~

The sound of magma eroding quicksand resounded continuously. Amidst this hissing sound that seemed to never stop, Ornn's figure continued to rise...

It's a volcanic chasm! He condensed a large lava column under his feet as his foothold!

"Hey~ use your ability to create a foothold? Even if you can do this, what's the use? You can't leave this lava pillar at all, or you can only become a living target of the sandstorm!"

Crocodile continued to taunt, while controlling more sand blades to greet Ornn.

But Aoun still didn't take it seriously, and instead closed his eyes silently.

This is an opportunity... The sandstorm in front of you is an important opportunity for you to master your knowledge!

Perception... Perception of the sound when the opponent launches an attack, perception of the changes in the air when the wind blade strikes, perception of the source of hostility directed at oneself!

Sand blades fell continuously on Ornn's body, and within a short time, Ornn's huge body was scratched with thousands of blood marks.

Blood gurgled down the lava column under his feet, even dyeing the surrounding quicksand dark red, but Ornn remained unmoved.

clang!

A sand blade was generated from behind Ornn and hit Ornn's back hard.

However, when the sand blade came into contact with the back, there was no blood spray.

A dark color appeared on Ornn's back - he blocked the sand blade with his own armament Haki.

Uh-huh!

Another sand blade struck. This time Ornn did not use his armed defense, but twisted to the left. The moment he twisted his body, the sand blade passed by less than three centimeters in front of him, slashing him. Breaking a strand of his wild hair.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Aoun controlled his body to constantly move around on the lava pillar which was not very spacious. From time to time, the weapon color would cover a certain part of his body, allowing him to resist the sand blades that he could not avoid with dodge.

At the beginning, there were many mistakes, but as time went by, the probability of success became higher and higher. In the end, not a single sand blade in the sky could land on Ornn's body.

Finally, Aoun opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his face:

"Thank you, Crocodile. Thanks to you, I can take this important step."

In the sand and dust, Crocodile looked at the tall figure on top of the lava column, feeling confused for a moment.

This kid...is using my attack to practice?

Are you kidding me? How is this possible?

It was just a bluff, he just wanted to use this method to lure me into revealing my body!

Crocodile was hypnotizing himself in his heart.

But the next second...

"Now that I have achieved my goal, it's time to stop this sandstorm."

Black Hammer was once again in his grasp.

"It seems to be here..."

Aoun murmured and raised the black hammer in his hand:

"End this game, Crocodile."

Buzz!

The already pitch-black Black Hammer seemed to light up with a warm light at this moment, and then, Ornn's feet stepped heavily on the lava pillar beneath him.

With the speed of shaving, he appeared somewhere in the storm almost instantly. Then, he hit hard with the black hammer in his hand without any hesitation.

Phew~

A blood flower drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the turbulent sandstorm came to a halt... Crocodile, who looked astonished, fell from the height while holding his sunken chest.

Bang...

The body fell into the yellow sand with a muffled sound.

Although blood was constantly bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Crocodile struggled to support his body and roared at Ornn with an unwilling face:

"I...how could I lose to you!"

Aoun, who had regained his human form, fell steadily back to the ground. He looked down at Crocodile from a high position. After a moment, he softly uttered a sentence that Garp once said to Aoki in the original work:

"Because... a hesitant person is extremely weak!"
