Chapter 418 A one-sided battle
The sky and the earth roared, and the yellow sand surged.
The entire Shengting Island trembled under this transcendent power, and the ground shook continuously.
The capital of Alabasta, Albana.
The magnificent palace hall.
The King of Alabasta, Nefertari Kobra, who was convening ministers and holding a kingdom meeting to discuss matters related to the newly crowned King Shichibukai Crocodile, was suddenly covered by this sound. The entire kingdom was covered up by the loud explosions.
Even the extremely solid royal palace swayed for a moment under the impact of this surge, and dust fell.
Nefertari Kobra stood up nervously, grabbed the wooden board of the conference table in front of her with both hands, and shouted loudly: "What happened?! What happened? Bell! Jaka!"
At the king's call, the two officers of the kingdom's guard quickly walked out of the darkness and knelt on one knee in front of Kobra.
The one on the left is younger, a man wearing a white robe and a white turban. He has dark purple four-pointed star makeup under his eyes. There are a large number of black four-pointed stars drawn on the robe and turban. pattern.
Bell, a user with animal type, bird fruit, and falcon form abilities!
The one on the right is slightly older, has short black hair, wears a heavy cloak that is spliced up and down in dark green and light green, wears a gold bead necklace around his neck, wears a samurai sword on his right waist, and wears a black mask on his face. Wolf mask.
Jaka, animal type, canine fruit, jackal form ability user!
These two commanders of the Kingdom Guard have also become the two patron saints of Alabasta.
"I don't know yet, Your Majesty the King! But please rest assured, Bell and I will protect everyone!"
Jaka's steady and powerful voice instantly calmed the panic of the princes and ministers in the conference room.
In addition, the turmoil in the palace gradually stopped, and many ministers slowly returned to their usual calm state.
But the remaining sweat on their foreheads showed what kind of thrilling scene they had just experienced.
"It doesn't feel like a sudden earthquake. Your Majesty, do you want me to go check it out?"
Bell raised his head and asked softly.
As a user with the Bird Fruit ability and a falcon form with extremely strong flying ability, Bell undoubtedly has the ability to patrol the entire Kingdom of Alabasta in a short period of time.
"Go!"
Kobra wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his hand.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he said to Bell again.
"No, you go see Didi and Weiwei first - no! The meeting is temporarily suspended!"
His Majesty the King, who was supposed to keep his word, changed his mind again and said to Jaka.
"Jaka, take me to the side hall of the palace. I want to see with my own eyes the conditions of Didi and Weiwei! Bell, go outside and inspect!"
The two guardian gods of the kingdom nodded and stood up at the same time.
A man walked by quickly, respectfully carried King Kobra on his back, and with the wind on his feet, he quickly ran towards the side hall of the palace where Princess Nefertari Titi and Princess Nefertari Vivi currently live. .
The other person transformed into a half-animal form. His raised arms quietly transformed into a pair of falcon wings covered with brown feathers. The surface of the wings was dotted with a large number of black spots. He flapped his wings and flew out of the window.
The ministers of the kingdom who remained in the conference room looked at each other and talked in low voices.
"This level...should be an earthquake, right?"
"It doesn't really look like it. It was too sudden and lasted too short. I felt it was a bit like an explosion..."
"That's right! Didn't you hear that loud noise just now?"
"Could it be the big pirate we just discussed who is fighting the enemy?"
"It would be great if that were the case!"
"But doesn't His Majesty the King think that pirate is a good person? A hero of Alabasta or something."
……
The violent impact of [Reiatsu·Weiguo] gradually dissipated.
After everything returns to silence.
The originally boundless desert filled with sand grains has turned into a deep and unfathomable abyss canyon, with dark and terrifying pits that seem to reach straight to the ground.
One blow.
The landscape changes!
"This is... what kind of spiritual pressure!"
Adrian stood above the sky and said this with a calm expression.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the cliffs of the canyon.
Kaka——
There was a shattering sound, and the sand layer that was almost solidified by the shock wave of Reiatsu and Weiguo was pushed away from the inside.
A sand crocodile in ragged clothes and covered in blood emerged from the cliff.
He reluctantly raised his right hand, condensed a ball of sand, lifted his shaky body, and flew to the desert outside.
When Reiatsu Weiguo hit him in the face, Crocodile knew that he could not react in time and was knocked into the ground again.
I thought that this giant shock wave was no different from the one just now and could not cause any damage at all.
But the moment he touched it personally, Crocodile instantly felt the pain of "Lingchi".
The endless pain comes from every part of the body, like sharp blades constantly cutting on the surface of the body, and this pain seems to penetrate deep into the bone marrow and reach the soul!
Even the proud body of the natural type Shasha was completely unable to withstand the power of this huge shock wave, and was directly penetrated like paper.
If it were not for the most critical moment of his life, Crocodile would manipulate the sand grains to condense an extremely solid layer of sand-based armor on his body, and then forcibly control himself to continuously move towards the edge of the shock wave.
Otherwise, Crocodile felt that he might die directly from this blow!
"A little clever and a little tough."
Adrian was holding the black sword, the Second Generation Kitetsu, with the tip of the sword hanging slightly.
Logically speaking.
With Adrian's outstanding attributes and swordsmanship power at this time, if the Sand Crocodile received a shot of Reiatsu Weiguo without any defense against his face, it might be impossible to die directly, but if he completely loses his self-awareness, he should still be able to do it. Arrived.
Just like a certain fifth emperor who did not want to be named, he was beaten into an idiot by the fourth emperor and even scored twice.
Adrian thought that with the huge strength gap between him and Sand Crocodile, it would not be difficult to achieve this level.
Even if Sand Crocodile learns the flow of cherry blossoms and overlord color entanglement on the spot, it is definitely no match.
But...
I still slightly underestimated the "frankness" and "fleshiness" of these strong men who appeared in the original work.
The sand crocodile's armor is indeed quite thick.
Crocodile drove through the sand and fell back onto the desert. He was so weak that he could only stand on the sand layer.
'Really... almost died...'
Crocodile was filled with powerlessness. The attack by White Ghost just now reminded him of Whitebeard.
‘Why would a monster with this level of attack power come to the paradise stage? ’
‘Are all the people in the World Government and the Navy Headquarters blind? ! ’
‘I must…must find the most evil battleship! ’
‘Then let all these people die! ’
Adrian slowly descended from the sky, stepped on the yellow sand, and walked to Crocodile one step at a time.
"King of the Desert, can you answer my question now?"
Adrian looked at Crocodile condescendingly.
"Can you, who is so weak, still be called the [King's Shichibukai]?"
"Hmph..."
Crocodile lowered his head and let out a deep laugh.
"Ghost... You are so careless at such a close distance!"
He raised his left hand extremely quickly, and the golden poisonous hook stabbed directly into Adrian's abdomen, piercing him through and releasing the poison hidden in the poisonous hook without hesitation.
Thick venom showing a strange purple color seeped out from the tip of the golden poisonous hook, dripping on the surface of the yellow sand, burning out clouds of strange smoke, and the surrounding sand layer was instantly corroded to create a circle of small pits. .
"Oh~ What a powerful poison~"
Adrian looked at the astonished Sand Crocodile, but the smile on his face did not change at all.
"Is this what you want to hear?"
Crocodile felt the empty touch in his hands in disbelief.
It has obviously penetrated the white ghost's body, and it has obviously released a super poison that is enough to seal the throat with blood. Why can't it even touch the enemy?
Unable to accept it, Crocodile re-emerged a force from somewhere, supported his broken body, raised his intact right hand, enlarged it, turned it into a crescent-shaped sand blade, and slashed. Hit the white ghost.
"Desert Sword!"
Chi——
It was still the familiar sound of breaking through the air.
However, the terrifying move that was capable of destroying gold and breaking jade still seemed to hit a ball of empty air, failing to cause even a little bit of damage to the enemy.
"It seems that your attack has no effect on me~"
Adrian looked at the sand crocodile so close and said slowly.
"This is an arm made of sand. It looks like a monster~"
Crocodile's expression changed again, and he kept the speed of his waving right hand unchanged. With his left foot as the axis, he suddenly turned around and pressed his right hand on the surface of the sand in front of him, instantly launching another ability that could cut off the magma. .
"Desert Great Sword!"
The extremely sharp piece of sand hit Adrian's body in the middle and ran across his waist.
"Such a posture is a bit ugly, and I'm not used to it."
Adrian frowned slightly, stepped back a few steps, and escaped the attack range of the desert sword without any damage.
At this time, Crocodile had a dumbfounded expression on his face, as if he was struck by thunder.
It's clear that Ghost is a superhuman fruit user, so why can he ignore the sand's attack?
Crocodile couldn't understand, but was shocked.
Clenching his teeth, Crocodile turned his right arm into sand again, squeezing out the remaining energy from his broken body, and condensed a thin layer of jet-black armed domineering energy on the sharp edge of his right arm.
"Desert Sword!"
Crocodile waved his right arm.
Dang——
A crisp collision sounded.
Adrian frowned slightly, and slowly raised the black knife in his hand, holding Crocodile's sand blade.
"It's a bit illegal to use armed domineering."
Adrian used a little force with his right arm to push back Crocodile's sand blade, and then stepped out in one step.
The unparalleled sharp black sword, the Second Generation Ghost, drew an almost perfect circular arc in mid-air, slashing towards Crocodile's body.
Crocodile hurriedly raised the desert sword in his right hand, trying to stop the second-generation ghost sword.
But how can a sand blade made of yellow sand withstand a black knife that has been tempered by top-notch weapons for several years?
The desert sword was easily cut in two by the Black Sword and the Second Generation Ghost. The broken sand blade turned into several pieces and was blown away by the wind before it even hit the ground.
The next moment, the black sword Kiche struck Crocodile's upper body without any hindrance.
The sand crocodile's eyes widened in disbelief. He was seriously injured, and the scene in front of him was blurry. Then there was the sound of howling wind in his ears, and everything around him was moving forward rapidly.
Boom——
A moment later, Crocodile flew backwards like a meteor, rolled several times on the ground, and finally hit a raised sand dune, directly knocking out a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters.
"Cough-poof!"
Crocodile, who had been seriously injured by Reiatsu Weiguo's attack, coughed violently again and spit out a large mouthful of blood. A huge wound appeared in his waist and abdomen that almost split him open.
Sand Crocodile could feel the intense pain coming from the wound where Nidai Kiteru struck him.
But what is more fashionable and better than the spiritual pressure shock wave in the body just now is that this pain only affects the body and does not have the kind of severe pain that penetrates into the soul.
Adrian's figure was like a ghost, appearing directly in front of Crocodile.
"Sa Crocodile, the first king of the Shichibukai, could you please deliver a message to the World Government?"
Adrian shook off the blood beads on the second-generation Kitetsu sword and placed it on the neck of the sand crocodile.
"Let's just say that the first king will go to the Shichibukai. If the Shichibukai in the future finds trash like you again, I won't hold back."
Crocodile reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the white ghost with a very serious expression, almost not spitting out another mouthful of blood.
‘You call this holding hands? ’(End of this chapter)
