Chapter 417 The Desert King
Adrian's question with a strong sense of surprise reached Crocodile's ears, which made the King Shichibukai a little angry.
What's the meaning?
What does it mean that "it turns out" that I "actually" met Wense Baqi?
Pirates who have broken into the new world will see smells and weapons. Is there anything worth making a fuss about?
Crocodile, who felt that he was despised by the white ghost, suddenly felt evil in his heart.
A swordsman who can fly and slash, right? !
The sand crocodile raised his good right hand, and the surface of the arm covered with clothing instantly disintegrated and turned into sand, flowing around him, and in the blink of an eye it reassembled into a pure yellow sailor's scimitar made entirely of sand.
"Desert Sword!"
Crocodile roared angrily and waved the sand-edged scimitar in his right hand.
Under the blessing of Pei Ran's strength, this sword made of sand grains exerted extremely terrifying speed and power, splitting the air with a "chi chi", and instantly slashed out a powerful slash.
In the boundless desert below, under the slashing force of this desert sword, a deep ravine tens of meters long was opened, and countless grains of sand flew into the air.
Adrian raised his eyebrows and also waved the black sword in his hand, the Second Generation Kitetsu.
The black sword, which had been cultivated and refined for more than two years with the domineering power of the top-level armed color, once again instantly unleashed a powerful half-moon flying slash, mixed with the armed color that was released from the body, to meet the sword that cut open the desert. Treasured sword!
Keng——
The moment two powerful slashes collided in mid-air, a roaring sound erupted, like gold and stone clashing.
However, the power of the slashes transformed from the desert sword was still far inferior to the solid sword pressure wielded by the great swordsman.
The desert sword barely held on for less than half a second before it was cut off directly by the sword energy of Demon Sword Ghost.
The solid sword pressure that remained undiminished slashed towards Crocodile like lightning.
‘Displaying the armed colors? Release a near-substantial attack with the weapon in your hand? ’
Crocodile's pupils condensed slightly, and then he confirmed why the flying slash just now gave him a feeling of great threat.
As a user with the natural type of sand fruit ability, Crocodile is able to ignore most physical attacks in the world by virtue of his sand body.
Logically speaking, the swordsman's metal blade, even the slashing sword energy released by the sword, would be difficult to harm him.
But after many years of experience in the new world, Crocodile naturally knows that there is still a power in this world that can hurt the body of those with natural fruit abilities, and that is armed color!
Feel the threatening and exciting sensation like needle pricks from the flying slash unleashed by the white ghost.
Crocodile didn't want to fight head-on. His figure instantly expanded and exploded, blending into the violent sand around him. He also used the ability of the sand fruit to control the position and direction of the sand, leaving a path that was enough to accommodate flying slashes and fly over calmly. huge loophole.
After the flying slash flew by, Crocodile returned to his human form and looked at the white ghost with indescribable fear and solemnity.
Adrian stood calmly in the sky, and was not in a hurry to continue attacking, but asked curiously.
"Sand Crocodile Crocodile, I have heard of your name and noticed your past achievements."
Adrian's tone was melodious and slightly puzzled.
"But can you explain how you escaped from Whitebeard's hands? Also, how did you achieve an 'even win' against that guy Barrett?"
Based on the battle situation just now, the battle information that has been displayed on the panel shows that Crocodile's level at this time is only LV88!
Frankly speaking.
This kind of strength is not weak, and has even surpassed ninety-nine percent of the people in this sea.
Coupled with the natural type of Shasha Fruit, Sand Crocodile's strength level can continue to be adjusted upward by half a level.
but.
With such strength, there is absolutely no way to achieve the level of "no win or lose" with Barrett!
Adrian's questioning words obviously brought back some unpleasant memories of Crocodile.
Sand Crocodile, who was still 20 years old, met Douglas Barrett by chance on a small island in the New World and fought with him.
Although news reports after the incident said that the battle between Sand Crocodile and Barrett was decided.
But Crocodile himself knew that at that time, Barrett was completely in a period of mental confusion, and he did not show much strength at all! (Note)
For a long time, even though the outside world regarded this matter as one of Crocodile's battle honors, he himself was very taboo about others mentioning it in front of him.
As for the other thing Adrian asked, Crocodile felt even more unhappy.
Whitebeard cut off his left hand with a knife and punched him until he couldn't move. This was a tragic past that Crocodile didn't want to recall for the rest of his life.
If Whitebeard hadn't wanted to adopt him as his son at that time, whether Crocodile could have come back alive from the blade of the supreme sharp knife [Cong Yunqi] was a question. (Note 2)
"Hmph! White ghost!"
Crocodile snorted coldly, with anger in his tone.
"I'll let you know what curiosity can kill!"
"Then, before you kill yourself, can you tell me your secret first?"
Adrian still looked extremely calm.
He was used to seeing top players such as Charlotte Lingling, Kaido, Sengoku, and Zefa, and now facing the Sand Crocodile, Adrian really couldn't feel any nervousness in his heart.
You must know that some time ago, on the Chambord Islands, the army generals and CP0 shadows who failed to make a few appearances in front of him were all players of Crocodile's level.
"A guy who only knows how to talk!"
Crocodile raised his right hand, turned it into sand, and then pulled it out suddenly.
Under the control of the Shasha Fruit, the endless grains of sand instantly condensed into four cold steel knives that shone with a cold light. With the sharp momentum of cutting all things, they attacked in the direction of Adrian.
"Desert·King Kong Sword!"
These four huge blades are like real objects. Both the attack range and the sharpness are far greater than the desert sword just now. Even the solid mountain rock walls can be easily cut through.
After releasing this blow, the Sand Crocodile was still not satisfied.
He raised his right hand and quickly condensed it into a continuously rotating sand storm in his palm. He continued to condense and increase its power and suddenly threw it in the opposite direction.
"Heavy Shalan!"
The small spiral sand storm condensed in the palm of the hand, which was only half an arm's length, after being out of control, instantly expanded into a terrifying scene that covered the sky and the sun. Endless grains of sand shuttled through it, almost covering everything around it in darkness. among.
Those high-speed flying sand particles may leave bleeding scars even if they just brush against the skin.
Faced with the joint attack of the Desert Diamond Sword and the heavy-duty Sha Lan, Adrian had no idea of evading it. Instead, he calmly raised his right hand and assumed the starting position of a certain move.
Under the blessing of invisible power, Adrian's robes moved automatically without wind, and his whole person slowly exuded surging momentum fluctuations.
If there are people watching the battle, they will definitely notice that the terrifying fluctuations emerging from the white ghost's body are no less shocking than the overwhelming and terrifying sand storm.
After a short period of brewing, Adrian's momentum and strength had increased to the extreme, and the four desert swords that shone with a faint cold light were approaching.
Adrian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the right hand holding the black sword, Nidai Kitetsu, suddenly waved down.
[Wei Guo]!
The pale white cylindrical shock wave that could not be described as a "flying slash" completely annihilated the four seemingly sharp desert diamond swords in an instant. With the momentum of destruction that destroyed everything, it penetrated the The terrifying sandstorm that covered the sky and hit Crocodile directly towards Crocodile's position.
"What?!"
Crocodile was horrified, unaware that his proud double attack was completely destroyed by the white ghost in a frontal attack.
But when he reacted and wanted to transform into a sandstorm and move to avoid it, the terrifying and powerful shock wave was already close to his face!
Boom boom boom——! !
The mighty country's shock wave instantly hit Crocodile in the sandstorm, directly taking him out of the sand curtain and blasting directly onto the boundless desert below, erupting with a violent explosion that shook the sky.
Under the terrifying power of Weiguo, the originally intact and undulating desert surface instantly cracked and collapsed, forming a series of deep and long cracks like an ax chisel.
Countless sand grains spewed out from the ground and rose into the sky, forming a terrifying sandstorm that was no less massive than the heavy sand storm just now.
About a few minutes later.
This storm of sand fell from the sky and refilled the original cracks and gaps, but there was still a large amount of foggy dust in the air.
A disheveled Crocodile emerged from the desert. The black fur coat he wore on his body now looked in tatters.
"Hahahaha!!"
Crocodile looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter, full of the feeling of joy of surviving the disaster.
"I didn't expect it, White Ghost! Your attack has no effect on me at all!"
Facing that terrifying cylindrical shock wave.
Crocodile thought that even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Unexpectedly, the naturalization ability given by the Shasha Fruit not only allowed him to completely withstand this wave of attacks, but he himself was not even harmed at all.
"Do you think the level just now is considered an attack?"
Adrian's slightly surprised voice slowly fell from the sky.
"I just want to see if you can withstand an attack of this magnitude. Now it seems that you are weaker than I thought."
"Hmph!"
Crocodile snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and re-condensed a ball of Shalan.
"No matter what, your attack can't hurt me! I'm the king of the desert!"
"King of the Desert? But if the king does not die, how can you wear the crown?"
Adrian raised his right hand, and a mighty pale spiritual pressure emerged from his body. Together with the warm and ink-colored armed haki, the blade of the Black Sword and the Second Generation Kitetsu turned into a chaotic color.
"Reiatsu·Weiguo."
Boom——
The majestic slashes mixed with pale spiritual pressure instantly overwhelmed all the sounds between heaven and earth, dyeing the boundless blue sky and endless desert into a pale color.
Thank you very much to "Wen Changbuhui" for the 500 starting coin reward! !
Note 1: When Crocodile and Barrett met, it was during the period when Barrett was withdrawing from the Roger Pirates, out of mental confusion.
Moreover, Roger was not dead at that time, and Barrett was not going berserk. He was in a period of declining strength...
Well, the author's bacteria are just some plot holes in Madoka's original work.
I really don't understand why the Sand Crocodile can fight with Barrett, although this guy is indeed very powerful.
Note 2: The fact that Whitebeard saved Crocodile's life is just a fabrication in this book.
It's not mentioned in the original work, but we only know that Crocodile survived Whitebeard. But speaking of it, it seems that the people who lost their hands in One Piece all lost their left hands?
