This pirate is not too cold

Chapter 61 The Aggrieved Lao Sha
But for those with devil fruit ability, their fruit ability will be more or less affected by the battlefield environment.

And on that note, Crocodile's Salsa Fruit is particularly evident.

If it is in the desert full of yellow sand, Crocodile can easily destroy a city; but in this tropical jungle, it is difficult for Crocodile to exert his full strength.

At least, he couldn't unleash a devastating big move like "Sandstorm".

Crocodile's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He slowly turned his right hand into a yellow sand blade and quickly inserted it into the ground.

"Desert Sword!"

With Crocodile's angry shout, the weeds on the ground where Crocodile's right hand touched quickly withered, and the soil opened up in a straight line, as if a mole was digging a hole in the ground. He rushed to Karl's position at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish with the naked eye.

"Ok?"

Karl stared at the ground of the mutation. Karl never underestimated this sand crocodile who challenged Hawkeye and Doflamingo in the top battle.

Karl frowned, and his steps moved like ghosts, extremely fast.

The upturned soil was like a poisonous snake that followed its shape, chasing Karl's position under the control of Crocodile.

brush!
Something suddenly broke out of the ground, and Karl's figure flashed suddenly. He turned around and took a closer look, only to find that it was a sharp sand blade!

brush brush...

Sand blades burst out one after another, like big swords one after another.

Where the desert sword crossed, weeds fell, boulders shattered, and even the thick trees that were hugged by two people would be cut off by the sword, leaving only slanted wooden cones. The power was terrifying.

"Desert Sword!"

The number of desert swords gradually decreased, and Crocodile in the distance used another desert sword. Karl did not choose to block it this time, but tapped the ground lightly, easily avoiding Crocodile's combo.

"It's best not to use the same moves... Oh, I'll go!"

Karl turned around to take a look, but saw Crocodile in the distance slowly turning into a wisp of dust and preparing to float into the distance.

Karl immediately ordered Keja, the afterimage, to possess him, and activated the ghost step. In less than two breaths, he was already in front of Crocodile!

"Want to run?" Armed-colored domineering wrapped around his right leg, and Karl raised his kick and kicked Crocodile in the abdomen.

Caught off guard and without knowing it, Crocodile did not take any defensive measures, but used his own body to receive Karl's violent blow.

boom!
Crocodile was kicked away by Karl, and he slammed into a big tree not far away, and broke the big tree in the middle with a "click".

Crocodile was in severe pain, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart.

He was startled, his eyebrows were tightly knit together, and he stared at Karl, who was not chasing him not far away, in disbelief.

"Why... why can you hurt me?!"

"Sand crocodile, haven't you heard of armed domineering?" Karl replied with a smile as he walked towards Crocodile.

"Armed-color domineering? Damn it! A mere kid from the West Sea, why can he master armed-color domineering?" Crocodile once challenged Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world. He was cheated by the other party every time.

Nicole Robin, who arrived late, hid in the grass in the distance and carefully observed the battle between the two in the forest.

She couldn't see the process of the battle clearly, she only saw that Shichibukai, the king, was lying in a state of embarrassment under a broken tree, while Mr. Carl was standing not far from the opponent, looking as if... ...unscathed?
Uh... Could it be that you are blind?The enemy is Crocodile Crocodile, the king's Shichibu sea sand crocodile. Even if Mr. Carl won't lose to him, such a dramatic scene won't happen, right?

Robin blinked hard, but when she looked into the distance again, nothing had changed there.

"Mr. Karl...is he so strong? Even Shichibukai is no match for him...that is to say, what he said to me...wasn't it a random big talk?!"

"Sand crocodile, you can never become the strongest relying only on fruit ability, let alone your devil fruit is not the best."

"Hahahaha, brat, don't play tricks here. If you were really fearless, then you wouldn't lead me into this forest that is not conducive to my performance." Crocodile laughed loudly, Struggling hard to stand up.

"I just don't want you to play sandstorms on my territory. What cards do you have, just use them!"

Karl did not "take advantage of others", he chose the "turn-based" battle method.

He needs to personally experience all of Crocodile's offensive moves, one is to cultivate the experience of fighting against people with natural abilities, and the other is to judge his current strength with the help of Crocodile, which Doflamingo has taken a fancy to.

"Little devil, stop looking down on people!"

Crocodile's blood surged, and he was extremely angry. He slowly turned his hands into four huge fine sand blades. This is his strongest single attack move, and it can even cut through extremely thick rocks!

"Desert King Kong Sword!"

Four huge sand blades slashed towards Karl who was not far away with such force. Each sand blade was like a gleaming gray sword, vowing to cut off all obstacles in their way.

"Kazan..."

Karl's black pupils locked firmly on the four desert diamond swords that were slashing towards him. He frowned and whispered, the power of ghosts and gods surged around his body, and his armed domineering wrapped around his entire right arm.

Robin in the distance couldn't help clasping his hands together in prayer after seeing the four terrifying huge sand blades, even more nervous than Karl who was facing the desert diamond sword.

boom!
Karl's domineering right fist entwined with armed colors hit the middle of the Desert Vajra Saber head-on. The berserk power carried on the fist was like explosive gunpowder, tearing up these giant blades made of fine sand in an instant!
Since Luffy, who is not armed and domineering, can take Crocodile's blow head-on, then there is nothing for him to back down!

Whoa!
The desert vajra sword, which was originally as powerful as a broken bamboo, was blasted into pieces by Karl in just one breath, and the yellow sand all over the sky fell in the forest, hitting every green leaf, like a drizzle of rain.

A gust of wind blows, and the dust in the forest quickly disappears with the wind.

Looking at the dumbfounded Crocodile and Carl's back that was as motionless as a mountain in the distance, a surprised smile appeared on Robin's face.

"Mr. Karl...he actually defeated the legendary Shichibukai!"
