One Piece: Invasion of the Heavens

On this day, Shi Tian was getting familiar with his soaring power. He was indeed a little impatient before. After hearing Xia Li's prediction, although he strengthened his confidence, he was still somewhat shaken.

In addition, after seeing the golden lion that was coming to an end, Shitian got excited and exchanged all the powerful Zanpakutō. After fusing the Zanpakutō, Tokiten's spiritual pressure almost doubled.

Shitian estimates that his combat effectiveness will never be defeated by the navy admiral. Of course, that is only if you master every bit of power proficiently. If he can perfectly integrate the power of Hollow and Quincy, then he would be enough to rival a legend like Peak Whitebeard.

Suddenly someone violently pushed open Shitian's door. Shi Tian looked over with black lines on his head, and it was Margao who walked in with a smile on his face.

"Shitian, why are you still here? Come with me, let's see what's going on with Yoi!"

With that said, Shi Tian pulled him up before he could speak, and dragged him out of the room. The two men got off the boat and stood with the others.

The island that the Whitebeard Pirates temporarily repaired is not big, so it is easy to see what is going on on the island.

There were loud explosions in the distance, and it was definitely a fierce battle. Even without getting close, Shi Tian could guess who was challenging Whitebeard this time.

This ability to create sandstorms out of thin air using human power can only be achieved by those with the natural ability of the Sand Fruit. And the ability user of this term is the familiar Shah Crocodile.

What a coincidence! Shi Tian couldn't help but think to himself. Crocodile's challenge to Whitebeard was something mentioned in the original novel, but I didn't expect it to be at this point in time.

In the future, in response to the rise of the Four Emperors, the World Government created the controversial Shichibukai system. And Crocodile was the first batch of Shichibukai.

The reason why he was invited by the World Government and Navy is probably because Whitebeard was able to survive this challenge. After all, the Shichibukai were designed to compete with the Four Emperors, and Crocodile's experience was really a plus.

Thinking about it this way, did Moria get the invitation from the Shichibukai because he survived Kaido?

Shi Tian's eyes moved, and he didn't have any serious dislike for Crocodile. At least he did protect a lot of people when he was pretending to be a hero.

But here comes the bad taste, Shitian seems to be causing some trouble for this young "Shichibukai".

Qiaozi hugged his shoulders and said: "Another arrogant person who doesn't know how high the sky is and thinks he can challenge dad by entering the new world!"

Margao stared closely at Crocodile, who was constantly breaking through the siege, and expressed a different opinion: "I am quite optimistic about him! After all, he has gained quite a reputation in the paradise, and he is also a natural ability user. Maybe I can make daddy be a little more serious!"

Shi Tian did not participate in their discussion and directly pulled out the knife from his waist and rushed over.

"Captain Shitian is here!"

"The damn Sand Crocodile, he will never be a match for Captain Shitian."

"Teach him a lesson, captain!"

As soon as Shitian appeared, all the pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates became excited. The strength of the leaders of the Whitebeard Pirates was not ranked in the order of divisions.

Among the many captains, everyone recognized that Shitian's strength was the best. So when they saw Shi Tian take action, they were all confident.

Shi Tian swung his sword, and a slash directly divided the battlefield.

"You all stand down and leave him to me."

The boys on the side of the knife mark retreated. The monster's battlefield was not something they could get close to. Only Crocodile was left on the other side of the knife mark.

Crocodile looked at Shi Tian. Although Shi Tian's slash just now was not aimed at him, it was enough to frighten him.

"It is you!"

Shi Tian carried the knife and said doubtfully: "I don't remember seeing the famous sand crocodile."

Crocodile bit his thick cigar and said, "East China Sea, Rogge Town. I have seen your battle with Hawkeye!"

Shi Tian suddenly realized that he almost forgot that the man in front of him also visited Roger's execution. At that time, there were many auras surrounding the battle between Shi Tian and Hawkeye, and Shi Tian didn't even notice that Crocodile was among them.

Shi Tian smiled and said: "So, you should know my strength, and you should also understand that I will not let you move on."

A small sandstorm appeared on Crocodile's hand, and he said coldly: "How will you know if you don't try it!"

Shi Tian also became serious, pointed the knife in his hand and said: "I admire your courage. But I bear the name of Whitebeard, so that no one like you will cause trouble in the future. So I have to be clean here. I’ll deal with you neatly!”

The scars on Crocodile's face were distorted, and he snorted: "If you can do it, give it a try!"

"Salan!"

The small sandstorm in his hand was thrown directly out, getting bigger and bigger in the air. By the time Shi Tian stood in front of him, it had turned into a huge salon roll.

"Who are you looking down on with this move?"

Tokiten narrowed his eyes, and without even releasing his Zanpakutō, he cut the salon volume in two with an ordinary slash.

Shitian himself stepped forward and pounced on Crocodile. When his knife was raised, it had already changed shape.

"Roar! God's punishment."

Before Shitian could get closer, a huge hand holding a huge machete fell down from the sky.

The earth wailed, and the huge slash split the earth behind Crocodile into two.

The scattered sand flew back to Crocodile and turned into half of his body.

Shi Tian said unexpectedly: "You're so sharp! You turned into sand in advance to avoid this blow."

Crocodile was shocked and took several steps back in fear.

"The giant sword just now was actually made of domineering energy!"

Although he has not been exposed to Haki for a long time, Crocodile also knows that armed Haki can only be used to harden, entangle, and release it. But I have never heard that it can be condensed into such a huge sword!

If it were ordinary domineering. Naturally, such a thing cannot be done. But Tianshu Shikai's ability is to use spiritual pressure to form huge arms and blades that move in the same way as his body.

Under the influence of the will of the world, spiritual pressure has the same ability as haki. Even if there is only the beginning of punishment, it will still pose a huge threat to those with natural abilities.

Shitian weighed the Heavenly Punishment with his hands. In the faint light, the blade changed its shape. This time it turned directly into an ordinary knife.

Crocodile didn't know what terrifying abilities the sword in Shi Tian's hand had, but he knew that he couldn't let Shi Tian take the initiative all the time.

"Desert Sword!"

A scimitar made of sand flew directly towards Shitian. The power was no less powerful than a slash from a swordsman with a sharp sword.

"Let's scatter, Senbonzakura."

Tokitian's blade disappeared, replaced by cherry blossoms that suddenly appeared in mid-air.

It was obviously a beautiful petal, but it was knocked away when it hit Crocodile's desert sword. Crushed sand fell to the ground, while cherry blossoms continued to dance around Shitian.

Shitian stretched out his hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the petals flew towards Crocodile.

Senbonzakura is Kuchiki Byakuya's Zanpakutō. After its initial release, the blade will turn into thousands of tiny blades. These blades resemble flying cherry blossom petals when they reflect light, hence the name Senbonzakura.

These thousands of blades can be manipulated by the owner at will, and being hit by them is truly a thousand cuts. And now it is Crocodile who faces it.

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

As Crocodile waved his arms, a large amount of sand surged up and collided with the cherry blossoms in the sky. The sand and cherry blossoms flew out in all directions.

Shitian made a clenching gesture, and the power of Sakura's impact increased greatly, directly defeating Crocodile's sand.

"Desert King Kong Sword!"

Crocodile waved his hands and slashed out four larger sand swords. Not only that, Shitian could sense that it was also wrapped with domineering energy.

Sakura was finally knocked back and transformed into the long sword in Tokitian's hand again.

Looking at Crocodile, Shi Tian sighed and said: "Not bad domineering, how come..."

When he thought about the battle, he was distracted and looked down upon Crocodile. However, with the power Crocodile is showing now, it is indeed difficult for Shi Tian to take him seriously.

To be honest, in the world of pirates, you cannot use your performance to evaluate your strength. Not only because Luffy unreasonably defeated a group of people in the future, but there were also a lot of unreasonable battles before.

Barrett was tied with Reilly, and he was neck-and-neck with Crocodile. Who released the water in this is really a headache.

But according to Shitian's opinion, this is related to the nature of the power of domineering.

To put it bluntly, domineering is the power of will. A strong person like Crocodile whose will has collapsed will naturally not be able to practice to a profound level. In the same way, Moria and the Golden Lion are like this.

The reason why the protagonist Luffy is so powerful, catching up with or even surpassing many veteran strong men in just two years of training, is probably because of his unwavering will!

Thinking of this, Shi Tian shook his head again and said: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to test my new power on you. As I said before, let's deal with you cleanly!"

Crocodile's forehead was dripping with sweat, but Shi Tian didn't show any aura that made him nervous. The sweat was entirely due to the heat.

"This is my strongest Zanpakutō, don't die casually!"

Flames flew on the blade, and in an instant, the temperature on the small island rose rapidly.

"Everything in the world is turned into ashes! The blade flows like fire!"
