Chapter 112

As for how to use it, of course, give him a good beating first. It's not good to hit someone for no reason, so let Lao Sha take the initiative.

"Yeah, want to know?"

"What price."

"Join me to overthrow the world government."

Lao Sha vomited blood. He was just a middle-aged man pursuing his dream. Well, he might also be a middle-aged woman. I just want to become the Pirate King. You want me to work with you to overthrow the world government. If you are sick, I am sick.

"Do not joke!"

"No kidding, come on, Crocodile, is the dream of the Pirate King too small? Let's do something crazier."

There was silence for a while.

"Desert sword!" A huge sand blade slashed towards Noah, and he couldn't bear it anymore. How dare this bastard play tricks on him!

But Noah really didn't play tricks on him, and he was really optimistic about Crocodile. As a Shichibukai, in order to maintain his heroic image, he has no record of taking action against civilians. Not all of his subordinates have been gathered, and the killer guild has not yet been formed, but they can still be recruited for the time being.

Forget it, let’s fight first and then talk about it.

Chapter 243 Strange Defense Break

After being covered in armed colors, he casually tore open the oncoming sand blade.

Although this move seems to be quite powerful, it still has extra power in the desert. All the deserts along the way are cut open, which is similar to dividing the sea with a sword. In fact, it is just the basic use of Shasha Fruit.

What is this Laosha doing? How can he use such a boring move to test? Luffy won't be afraid of this move, right? Looks like this guy needs to wake up.

Pull out the word Hedao and hold it casually in your hand.

"are you ready?"

"what to prepare?"

Phew~ Noah’s figure disappeared instantly.

"Of course I'm prepared to get hurt!"

Looking at Noah who suddenly appeared in front of him, Crocodile was shocked. How could it be so fast? Is it the fruit or the speed?

The old pirate's instinct made him try to block a move with sand, and at the same time, he was rapidly becoming elemental. To deal with close attacks, his experience is to elementalize so that the opponent cannot hit him.

However, before his mind could react, the black sword blade had already cut through his body without any hindrance.

Poof——

A pool of blood was left on the ground.

30 meters away, a ball of sand re-condensed into a human shape. Crocodile, who had a gloomy face, covered his chest with his hands, and a large amount of blood slipped from his arms.

The cold sword light seemed to still remain in his pupils, it was fast, it was really too fast. Even the elementalization was barely completed, and at one point in the evening, it would be over. The armed color is so domineering. I have been away from the new world for a long time, and I have almost forgotten what this thing feels like.

Noah shook his head in dissatisfaction. This guy must have only been in the paradise stage for a few years. How could he have fallen so low? How could he be so undefended and so slow?

Aokiji and the others are very cautious when elementalizing in front of opponents of the same level. That moment is considered a flaw. If they are caught and severely injured, they will be unlucky. Moreover, the reaction speed and instinct of general-level combat power have been honed to a very strong level, and the elementalization is also very fast, even without warning.

This elementalization of Lao Sha may be due to the fact that he has been in front of people for too long, giving off a strong smell of pretense. Seize the opportunity and be educated this time.

"It's okay, but if you don't cheer up for the next strike, you will die!"

What was more hurtful than Noah's words was the way he shook his head and the disappointed look in his eyes. The sand crocodile was stung deeply.

"I don't need your pity, Noah!"

The furious Crocodile turned on the sandstorm mode, raised his hand and threw two small sandstorms, and flew towards Noah.

At the same time, he lightly touched the ground with his hand to control the underground sand to turn into soft quicksand. With Noah's foothold as the center of the circle, the ground began to sink crazily, forming a funnel-shaped environment. Normally, force starts from the feet, and there is no place to rest, so how can one exert force?

At the same time, the sand storm in mid-air also flew in, forming a perfect siege. There is basically no room to evacuate up, down, left, or right.

Not bad, he is indeed a pirate who likes to use his brains, but this kind of thing is still not enough for Noah now.

No matter how complicated your attacks are or how many tricks you have, as long as my sword energy is one step faster than your moves, it will be fine.

He struck out with his right hand, and a flying slash flew directly through the space and flew towards Crocodile who was half-crouching on the ground. Along the way, he also smashed the two saloon rolls.

Seeing the terrifying sword energy coming, Crocodile had to give up the idea of ​​making a desert coffin and avoid the sword energy first.

Once again, he avoided this move through elemental displacement.

After the Sand Crocodile's move was forced to terminate, Noah still stood there and looked at Crocodile calmly.

"If that's all you have, you're not worthy of the level of King Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile."

"snort!"

Oh~ quite calm.

"The last Goge Shichibukai I killed was Doflamingo. Although he didn't seem very smart, I recognize his strength. I hope you will also use all your strength to prove yourself."

"snort!"

Sand Crocodile is worthy of being a man of wealth, and he does this without changing his expression.

"I heard that you fought with Whitebeard?"

"You bastard! Whitebeard is not something a brat like you can question! Go to hell! Erode reincarnation!"

The defense is broken, the defense is broken. Sure enough, the relationship between Crocodile and Whitebeard is very strange. During the war, he acted like a monster. One moment he despised Whitebeard, the other moment he was angry at his cowardice, and the next moment he wanted to kill Whitebeard.

Everyone could see that he would add drama to himself and fly into the sky. There was no way he would attack Whitebeard.

There was a strong wind and sand, and the boundless sea of ​​sand was trembling and rushing. The blue sky and white clouds in the sky were temporarily covered by the wind and sand, and black shadows covered the desert.

The water vapor is being continuously extracted, and the desert lizards, camels and other creatures that were still in this environment were instantly drained and fell to the roadside. After a while, even the bones were melted away by the wind and sand.

This is the strongest manifestation of Shasha Fruit in the desert.

This performance is comparable to that of Doflamingo's White Thread World. Lao Sha's performance is indeed remarkable.

Since Lao Sha is so serious, Noah must use some of his strength to show him respect.

Crocodile is using the wind and sand to vent his anger and show his power. He was going to kill this hateful guy, even to the bone.

However, a very terrifying aura appeared in the sandstorm in the distance.

boom! ! !

There is an endless ocean of red pouring out. Flooded this world.

A deafening roar was heard in my ears, and countless figures of all shapes and colors appeared in front of my eyes. Eventually, they gradually dissipated, leaving only this world shrouded in red.

Heavy pressure came from all directions, and both the body and mind seemed to be carrying an endless burden. In this world, even breathing was a little difficult.

This..., this is fucking overlord color! ! ! ! ? ? ? ?

Crocodile's brain is a bit exhausted. Was everything I saw in the new world fake? Or was it that Whitebeard used to like to joke around and show off his overbearing look every day?

The red overlord color slowly recovered, all concentrated on the word "Hedao". The red blade, and occasionally a fleeting light, gave a strong feeling of being killed from a distance.

The wind and sand that were raging in the sky before were all suppressed to the ground, unable to make any waves.

The scene was deathly silent. After seeing the overbearing look just now, Crocodile had a clear understanding that he might really die.

I am so unwilling to die in this country. I have not yet obtained Hades, and I am still so far away from the position of the Pirate King.

Chapter 244 You can’t be the Pirate King

An earth-shaking explosion occurred deep in the desert, and the air waves picked up sand and dust and spread in all directions.

Countless desert swords around the battlefield turned into scattered sand and flowed into the ground again in twos and threes.

Crocodile, who was covered in injuries, was breathing heavily and half-kneeling in the distance. The golden hook on his left hand has been chopped off, leaving only a ball.

"Damn it! How could there be such unreasonable swordsmanship?"

The feeling of powerlessness in Sand Crocodile's heart almost overwhelmed his reason. If it hadn't been for his home turf in the desert, he might have been killed on the spot. The opponent's sword power was beyond imagination. Whether it was a desert diamond sword or a crescent-shaped sand dune, it was easily chopped into pieces.

As long as you and your opponent stay in a stalemate for just a little longer, you will be knocked into a trance by that magical overlord-like will attack. The moment it touched, there was a huge wound, and the blood flowed endlessly.

And Noah was also amazed at Crocodile's tenacity at this time. It can be seen that many times he relied on perseverance to survive. Even if the blood was almost drained, he still looked like a big boss, and his big back was still the same. It was smooth and smooth, but it was a pity that the cigar was blown at the beginning.

Noah didn't want to drag it out anymore, so he killed him with the next blow. The noise here is so loud that no matter how big-hearted the king of Alabasta is, he will send someone to check it out.

This time he carefully accumulated his strength, and the sense of danger on the sword increased to another level, and the red light became deeper and deeper. Seeing this, Crocodile also squeezed out the last bit of his strength. Even if he died, he would still do it vigorously. It could be regarded as his swan song.

The direct confrontation between the sword energy and the sandstorm lasted for less than a minute, and ended with the sword energy's complete victory.

After the condensed sword energy attacked the opponent, it was deflected by Noah, and most of the power was driven into the ground.

The desert boiled again, forced to bear the damage it shouldn't have to bear.

Throw away the dust. Crocodile lay on the ground, his eyes losing ambition. Once again, once again he fell at the hands of others. Is this kind of me still qualified to compete for the position of Pirate King?

"Why did you let me go in the end? Pity? Still want me to join your ridiculous cause? Just kill me."

"That's not true. I just think you are doing a good job so far. I mean hunting pirates. In general, Alabasta has indeed been peaceful for a period of time because of your presence. As for the private things, I Still hesitating, after all, you haven’t really done it yet, so it’s very troublesome and difficult to determine.”

"You know what I came here to do?"

Crocodile was very disdainful, you are stronger than me, how could you possibly know what I am going to do.

"Actually, Pluto is not here, and even if you get Pluto, you won't be able to become the Pirate King."

Actually... knew.

This sentence shattered his purpose and expectations.

Seeing Crocodile lying on the ground without speaking, Noah decided to take the initiative to chat. This time was particularly suitable for chatting. A person who has been beaten down always listens better.

"Roger knows the whereabouts of all ancient weapons, Pluto, Sea King, and King of Heaven. But he did not rely on these things to become the Pirate King."

Hearing what Noah said, Crocodile still regained some of his energy. He felt that the guy who almost hacked himself to death seemed to know a lot, so let's listen to it.

"Do you know what conditions need to be met to become the Pirate King?"

…

"First of all, you need to be at least as strong as Whitebeard. Secondly, you need to know the secrets that many people don't know. Thirdly, you need to travel to places that no one else has been to. Finally, you need to make the world government hate you very, very much. ”

Crocodile could understand the first three, but he didn't understand the last one.

"Because, the name One Piece can be spread all over the world. It is the handiwork of the World Government. He is respected as the Pirate King by the world, but the real world will not give him such a name.

Will Whitebeard recognize Roger as the king of all pirates just because he has been to Rafdru? The World Government gave Roger such a title in order to praise and kill Roger.

However, Roger's subsequent actions confirmed this title, breaking out of the World Government's calculations and making him the Pirate King. "

"One piece?"

"Yes, through the legend of the Great Secret Treasure, Roger started the era of great pirates and spread free will all over the world. From my point of view, this point is very complicated, so I won't go into it.

What do you think you can do? "

It hurts my heart, old man, why don't you just say that I have no hope? Crocodile rolled his eyes.

At this time, Noah's sense of sight and color sensed that someone was coming from a distance.

"Forget it, let's continue chatting somewhere else. I don't want to be seen by others just yet."

After saying that, he opened the door of Sand Crocodile and went straight to his Rainland headquarters.

Five minutes after Noah left, Bell flew over.

The noise in the desert before was so great that there was no need for travellers' legends, it was just the bright wind and thunder rising from the flat ground. There were sandstorms that blocked the sky, huge gas explosion clouds, lightning and thunder under the dark clouds, and an inexplicable red light.

Kobra, who was accompanying his daughter, saw a vision in the distance and immediately summoned Bell the Falcon, Jaka the Jackal, and the ministers. This abnormal celestial phenomenon made them feel frightened.

After all, it is a superpower on the Grand Line. Kobra generally understands the meaning of humanoid natural disasters. The sandstorm in the distance was probably caused by the national hero Crocodile. It was obvious that he was fighting a powerful enemy.

It has to be said that Sand Crocodile's people have set up the team very well, and even the king trusts him for the time being. They were actually worried about the safety of the sand crocodile, especially when a sandstorm was completely suppressed by the red light.

Fortunately, their remaining sanity allowed them to know not to disturb a battle of this level for the time being, as it would be a hindrance.

After the dust settled, Bell was allowed to use his air mobility to conduct reconnaissance.

The scene that fell in front of Bell made him almost fall from the air.

The terrain was completely changed, and a deep pit with a diameter of several hundred meters appeared in the middle of the desert. The dark hole is bottomless, and the surrounding fine sand is constantly filling it.
