One Piece: The Magician

On the green space in front of the palace.

"That scarlet light is..." Smoker stood up with some difficulty and looked towards the direction of the square below, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

The movement of the divine killing spear-Gangnir was so loud that it was very difficult for the white hunter not to pay attention.And inexplicably, after Smog saw the bloody light that penetrated the world, a familiar name immediately popped into his mind.

Sherlock

"How is it possible? How could he be so strong?"

Perhaps it was because the Sand Crocodile's attack just now injured the white hunter's internal organs. Smoker coughed out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his face became even paler.

Luffy looked at the white hunter who looked extremely depressed in the heavy rain, calmed down, and then asked with some concern:

"Hey, don't worry, do you want me to ask Chopper to treat you? His medical skills are quite good."

"Heal me." When Smog heard this, his resolute face was full of disbelief: "Why do you say that? You are a pirate, I am a navy, and we are incompatible enemies."

"But, having said that," the stupid captain raised a big smile: "I don't think you are a bad person."

In Luffy's eyes, the Sand Crocodile is definitely a bad guy who cannot be cured, and the White Hunter who is hostile to the Sand Crocodile is naturally a good guy. The stupid captain's method of distinguishing right from wrong is so simple.

"Not a bad person." Smoker was stunned. He really didn't expect that there would be pirates in this world who wanted to help the navy.

Should I say that he is a fool, or that he is too broad-minded? Looking at the Straw Hat boy beside him, Smoker had a complicated look on his face.

At this moment, a burst of laughter like a night owl suddenly came from the rubble that buried Crocodile in the distance. It was extremely penetrating in the sound of the rain.

"Hahahaha, it's so funny. I almost forgot. It turns out that my blood tastes the same as others."

With a surge of gravel, the sand crocodile climbed up from the ruins tremblingly, its body wrapped in a wet coat wrapped with astonishing evil energy that seemed to be substantial.

Luffy and White Hunter looked solemn and quickly focused their attention.

Crocodile wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and murmured in a low voice, like the whisper of a devil.

"After many years, I finally feel the feeling of being hurt again."

Indeed, Sand Crocodile has never been injured since he came to this desert country. Even in the recent battle with Hisoka, a navy vice-admiral who is among the best among lieutenant generals, he always had the upper hand. , but now

"Hahahahaha" a wild and violent laughter.

Thinking that he was actually beaten by a newcomer until he vomited blood, Crocodile once again laughed unscrupulously to the sky. He didn't know whether he was laughing at himself for underestimating the enemy, or at the straw hat kid who was overestimating his abilities.

Or, both.

"You bastard crocodile, is your brain broken?" Luffy frowned stupidly. He really didn't understand why the sand crocodile laughed after being beaten.

"Something's wrong." Listening to the Sand Crocodile's laughter, the white hunter swallowed subconsciously, and an inexplicable chill came over him.

"Hahahaha, don't be joking." The wild laughter stopped suddenly, and Crocodile's tone suddenly changed. He let his hair down and looked down at the two people in the distance with a ferocious expression. The monstrous look in his gloomy eyes The killing intent was like a crocodile about to pounce on its prey, cold and cruel.

"Damn the rain, damn the navy, damn the Straw Hats, damn the sorcerer"

The sand crocodile murmured to himself as if he was possessed by a demon, and slowly placed his right hand on the stone bricks filled with water. Then Crocodile let out a hysterical roar:

"You all, go to hell"

-Erosion cycle

brush

As if a switch was turned on, an indescribable momentum spread from the body of the sand crocodile in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the rain all over the sky, the water on the stone bricks, and everything related to water seemed like It was absorbed by an invisible sponge, and even the air that was originally moist due to rain began to become dry.

A booming sound like a heavy bass.

The grass in front of the palace suddenly began to tremble uneasily. The hard stone bricks cracked and made ferocious cracks. The grass on the green ground was sucked dry and died instantly. Then it turned into fine sand all over the sky, rolling up a raging hurricane and heading towards that The men who were in the center of the sandstorm gathered together and left.

Dust to dust, dirt to dirt

In the cycle of erosion, with the touch of his right hand, Crocodile can instantly absorb the moisture of an object and turn it into endless sand.

"Not good." Smoker looked at the demon-like sand crocodile in front of him with a horrified expression, and anxiously said to Luffy who was also stunned: "Run, Straw Hat Boy."

However, the White Hunter’s reminder seemed a bit late

The entire land and the adjacent buildings were sucked dry by the sand crocodile's right hand and turned into endless yellow sand. With the manic wind unique to the desert, it continued to fly and reverberate. Under Crocodile's control A giant sand tornado was formed below, and it became more and more intense with the continuous replenishment of nearby sand.

"Die!" the sand crocodile shouted loudly, and then the dragon-like tornado of sand spread out. The raging sandstorm spread everywhere, and the ruthless yellow sand swallowed up Luffy and Smoker in an instant.

"Ah water and moisture quilt"

As Luffy's voice gradually weakened, his body gradually shriveled up in the overwhelming sand and dust. Together with Smoker, he turned into two "mummy corpses" and fell straight on the ground full of yellow sand.

Perhaps he had not fully vented the anger in his heart. Crocodile, who was surrounded by dust, looked up at the rain clouds in the sky, with a look of madness in his eyes.

The wind blows up the dust

Countless scattered yellow sands gathered together again, surging like an ocean. Under the control of Crocodile's thoughts, this endless sand suddenly turned into a giant dragon composed purely of yellow sand, with an unimaginable exaggeration. The momentum soared into the sky.

"You should die too, you damn rain"

The giant sand dragon let out a piercing scream, and then its long body flipped and moved recklessly in the sky above Albana, smashing the rain clouds in the sky into pieces, and then the sandstorm exploded again , like a detonated sand bomb, the yellow sand dispersed crazily in all directions, turning the entire sky into a hazy yellow. When all the dust settled, the artificial rainfall produced by dancing powder also Stopped abruptly.

Albana weather: heavy rain, heavy haze

As expected of a highly developed natural fruit, its astonishing power can actually change the weather.

"call"

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Sand Crocodile looked at the sun that appeared again in the sky but was blurred due to heavy haze, frowned and said to himself:

"I'm a little impulsive. If the navy comes now, it will be difficult."

Even for Crocodile, it would take a lot of energy and physical strength to rely on the fruit's ability to forcefully change the weather. But when he was so angry just now, he didn't think much about it, so now that he calmed down, Sand Crocodile felt a little regretful.

"No matter what, I can't waste any more time."

After pondering for a moment, Crocodile combed his messy hair back into order. Then, without looking at the life and death of the Straw Hat Boy and the White Hunter, he turned directly into a ball of yellow sand and whizzed away in the direction of the Funeral Hall.

At the same time, the Straw Hats were in the square.

Looking at the dim sky, the timid trio of Usopp, Chopper, and Nami were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"The rain has stopped, because of the sandstorm just now." Zoro put down the word "Hedao" in his mouth, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Is this all done by the sand crocodile?" Sanji licked his dry lips. The sandstorm just now seemed to have sucked away the moisture in the air. Even though everyone was still some distance away, they still felt that the air was full of hot water. The smell doesn't look like it's just rained.

"Sherlock, you can't eat any more." The little reindeer shouted anxiously at the magician: "Although the side effects of Sammona have been reduced, I don't know what the consequences will be if you eat it so frequently."

"You can't eat it."

Completely ignoring Chopper's dissuasion, Sherlock resolutely tasted the hell-like taste again, and then he was refreshed. His eyes, which had become sluggish after using the God Killing Gun, suddenly had a strange expression. Light.

"Luffy was fighting Sand Crocodile just now."

A gorgeous flying carpet appeared instantly, and then Sherlock picked up the little reindeer, jumped onto the flying carpet, and then turned into a black stream of light and soared into the sky like a sharp arrow, flying rapidly towards the palace.
