Chapter 153 The world is a desert! (Two updates, 7k please subscribe!)
The grass withered, the earth dried up, and even the hard rocks were affected by the power of [Sand Sand Fruit] and turned into sand.
This is the [Awakening] power of [Shasha Fruit]!
The power of drying up like a natural disaster——
Erosion of reincarnation!
Not just the earth.
Any non-living matter in contact with the earth.
They all withered under the influence of the "erosion cycle".
A living being that is in contact with the earth.
The water in their bodies was also taken away by [Shasha Fruit] at this moment.
Taking the location of Crocodile as its source, the nearby area was quickly assimilated into a desolate and ruined desert.
Buckingham Stussy, who was regarded as a target by the Sand Crocodile, was the first to be affected by the power of "eroding reincarnation".
I saw that the pair of dark red pointed leather boots that Buckingham Stussy was stepping on were directly assimilated into grains of sand by the power of the [Sand Fruit].
“My designer leather boots!”
Buckingham Stussy suddenly let out a scream.
On the other side, Edward Weibull also made a confused cry.
"Mom! My shoe is missing! Have you seen it?"
The range of influence of the natural devil fruit is too large.
Eagle Eye Mihawk did not want to be affected by the Sand Crocodile's ability, and was planning to retreat a short distance back to avoid the power of "Corrosive Reincarnation".
At this moment, Hawkeye Mihawk suddenly saw Storm still standing there, and the small piece of land under his feet turned into a ball of white clay at some point.
Use [Awakening] versus [Awakening]!
Krokdal’s [Swiss Fruit] can’t affect Storm’s [Clay Fruit] after all!
Hawkeye Mihawk jumped directly to Storm's side and stood side by side with him.
"What happened to the Sand Crocodile? Why is there such a big reaction to the name 'Buckingham Stussy'? Or is it because of... the Rocks Pirates?"
< br>Compared to ordinary people, Hawkeye Mihawk certainly knows the existence of the "Rocks Pirates".
The powerful pirate group that once dominated the sea for a while was eventually destroyed by the pirate king Roger and the hero Garp...
But Hawkeye Mihawk didn't know why Sand Crocodile named this pirate group. Such a big reaction.
“Everyone has an unbearable past.”
Storm turned to look at Hawkeye Mihawk and said calmly.
“Isn’t it?”
Storm could also see the angry mood of Sand Crocodile at this time.
He did not use the [Information Haki] that can "read people's hearts" to pry into the heart of Sand Crocodile.
Just speculation based on the intelligence information we have on hand.
Without a doubt.
Crocodar's rampage is related to "Buckingham Stussy" and the "Rocks Pirates".
To be more precise, it should be the "Rocks Pirates"!
The world knows very little about what the Rocks Pirates did in the past.
Even Storm only knew that the Rocks Pirates had participated in the Valley of the Gods incident, and then it became history...
Considering Crocodile's age, And his violent reaction to the members of the Rocks Pirates...
In addition, there is also the "little secret" between the Demon King Ivankov and Crocodile...
And the demon king Ivankov’s active experience in the Valley of Gods incident...
Ström concluded that——
Krokdal also participated in the Valley of Gods incident. Valley incident!
As for Crocodile's true identity...
Several possibilities flashed through Storm's mind, but he didn't say anything.
"Perhaps it's because... the Sand Crocodile once had an 'intersection' with the Rocks Pirates?"
After leaving this sentence to Hawkeye Mihawk, Storm did not explain anything else. , just turning his attention to the field.
Krokdal continues to release the "Corrosion Reincarnation".
The "Corrosion Cycle" can affect more than just the surrounding environment.
Even living bodies will be directly deprived of water when they come into contact with the "erosion cycle".
Buckingham Stusy just stood in the desert area shaped by the "erosion cycle" for a short time, and her leather boots were directly sanded and disintegrated, and the moisture on the soles of her feet was quickly extracted. Get out.
Edward Weibull on the other side also encountered the same situation, but his physique was stronger, so he didn't have any problems for a while.
"Weible! Take me out of here!"
Buckingham Stussy, who had sensed something was wrong, immediately asked Edward Weibull to take her away from here.
After receiving his mother's order, Edward Weeble did not care about looking for the pair of boots that had been lost inexplicably. He bent down and picked up Buckingham Stussy, and wanted to run away.
But how could Crocodile let the mother and son leave so easily?
"Erosion Reincarnation" has another advantage, that is, it creates a desert and forcibly transforms the entire surrounding area into Crocodile's home field.
In this desert area, Crocodile's [Shasha Fruit] power can be brought into full play.
The world is a desert!
"Desert Sunflower!"
Crocodile manipulated the completely deserted ground and directly created a huge quicksand pit, like a blooming sunflower.
The mother and son Edward Weibull and Buckingham Stussy, who had just prepared to escape, were right in the center of this quicksand area.
Edward Weeble, who was tall and overweight, quickly sank into the quicksand with his feet.
"Mom! Mom!"
Edward Weibull couldn't distinguish the situation. He only felt that in this desert, the more he struggled, the faster he sank. He could only obey his instinct, He kept calling his mother, hoping that her mother could help him get out of trouble.
"Shut up! Silly son! Stop moving!"
Buckingham Stussy instantly realized that he could no longer let Edward Weibull continue to struggle. If they fall deeply into this quicksand of death, there is only one ending waiting for the mother and son - being buried alive!
The situation is critical.
Buckingham Stussy no longer cares about hiding his strength.
A pair of huge, bat-like black membrane wings were seen growing out of Buckingham Stussy's back, and a layer of dark, fine down appeared on her face, making her whole person seem to have turned into an oversized... Bat spirit.
【Animal type·Bat Fruit】!
This is the special ability that Buckingham Stussy has!
Buckingham Stussy, who entered the half-human and half-animal state, suddenly burst out with an astonishing force, and saw her two claws firmly clasping Edward Weeble's body. The iron chain forcibly pulled the latter out of the quicksand.
Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weibull wanted to fly high into the sky to avoid these three plague-like King Shichibukai.
But Crocodile was unwilling to let him go.
He raised his right hand and formed a continuously rotating salon roll on the palm of his hand.
Different from the previous "Sha Lan", this time the salon volume actually presents a heavy black color.
This is an enhanced version of "Sha Lan"!
“Heavy Shalan!”
Crocodile threw the salon roll in his hand towards Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weeble.
When this ball of salon scrolls was flying into the air, it was affected by Crocodile and exploded and disintegrated, releasing a powerful shock wave.
Boom!
After the deafening roar, a powerful sandstorm blew up, and the yellow sand rolled over the sky and swallowed up Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weeble.
In the super sandstorm that was like a natural disaster, Buckingham Stussy, who was dragging Edward Weeble, a burden, could not fly at all, and her flight trajectory also became crooked.
Just when it was about to be blown down by the sandstorm.
Buckingham Stussy didn’t know whether it was intentional, careless, or deliberately careless.
Her paws that tightly held the chains on Edward Weibull's body suddenly loosened.
"Weible——"
Looking at Edward Weible falling downwards, Buckingham Stussy let out a shrill wail like a cuckoo crying for blood.
But whether it's Storm or Hawkeye Mihawk.
The two Wang Shichibukai, who were standing aside and watching with cold eyes, could clearly see Buckingham Stussy flapping her bat wings frantically, clearly wanting to leave as soon as possible. here.
The miserable wailing sound is in sharp contrast to the crazy wing flapping movements.
"Is this woman really the mother of 'Whitebeard III'?"
Eagle Eye Mihawk frowned tightly, obviously seeing through Buckingham Stu Xi’s sinister intentions.
"In such a critical moment, he abandoned his own child! He is worse than an animal!"
"Who knows?"
Ström raised his eyes to the sky.
Buckingham Stussy, who transformed into a bat, flew faster and higher, and was about to fly out of the Golden Island.
But at this moment, a blue-eyed white dragon suddenly appeared in the sky.
Storm's thoughts moved slightly.
The blue-eyed white dragon opened its bloody mouth, pointed at the old bat who was about to fly away, and let out an earth-shattering roar.
【Dragon Roar】!
"Roar——"
The roar of the dragon that penetrated the clouds and cracked the stone, followed by an extremely powerful explosion wave, fell from the sky at the violent speed of sound, and directly hit Buckingham Stussy.
boom!
A bright "big firework" burst out in the sky.
Buckingham Stussy, who was sprayed by the Blue Eyes White Dragon's [Dragon Roar], fell directly from the sky like a bat with broken wings.
An ordinary [Golden Trophy] jumped out in front of Storm's eyes.
【Golden Trophy: Buckingham Stussy】
[Trophy Stars: ★★★★]
‘Such an old Buckingham Stussy still retains strength comparable to a supernova... Tsk! ’
‘The Rocks Pirates back then were really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! ’
Storm calmly put away this [golden trophy].
The other side.
Edward Weibull, who was directly abandoned by Buckingham Stussy, has also fallen into the "Desert Sunflower" specially prepared for him by Crocodile.
This time.
Without Buckingham Stussy's help.
Edward Weible is like a child with ADHD, constantly struggling in "Desert Sunflowers".
Then... there is no more.
Edward Weibull was swallowed directly into the quicksand.
Krokdal also released the drying power of [Shasha Fruit] at the same time, forcibly absorbing the moisture from Edward Weibull's body.
Under the quicksand, there was a sound of struggling.
As time goes by.
Edward Weibull, who was directly drained by Crocodile, also lost the power to resist.
Crocodile manipulated the surrounding yellow sand to release the mummy-like, dry Edward Weeble from the desert sunflowers.
On the other side, the Blue Eyes White Dragon also flew back here grabbing Buckingham Stussy who had completely lost the ability to resist.
The blue-eyed white dragon let go of its claws, and Buckingham Stussy fell from the sky, hitting Edward Weeble's side accurately.
The mummified Edward Weibull murmured in a low voice and finally stopped struggling.
"Mom..."
