Pirates, they want to catch Akainu at the beginning

Raff Drew.

The area at the center of the earthquake.

Crocodile landed on a flat place and activated his fruit ability.

moment.

The ground began to turn sandy.

Begins to become softer.

Crocodile kept his eyes closed and did not move.

his hand.

Still on the ground.

This is Blackbeard who is attacking the ground through the sand.

Luffy and the others.

He also rushed over at this time.

Just not anywhere near Crocodile.

Because the ground around Crocodile turned to sand, and it was still stirring.

If they go by.

Maybe it will be attacked by sand too.

So they didn't get close.

Time flies...

Just two minutes passed...

The cracks and vibrations in the ground continue to grow.

Luffy couldn't help but ask Crocodile: "Hey, sand player, can you do it? Why haven't you got that black beard out yet!".

Crocodile said without looking back: "Shut up, come and do it if you have the ability!".

Luffy was very dissatisfied and wanted to say a few more words.

Usopp stopped Luffy from telling Crocodile and said, "Ask me if you encounter something!".

Crocodile heard Usopp's words and replied: "There is something protecting Blackbeard. My sand cannot attack Blackbeard's body!".

Usopp frowned slightly.

He thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's Moriah. His shadow fruit should be fine if it sneaks into the ground. It should be Moriah's shadow that protects Blackbeard!".

Usopp finished.

He immediately told everyone else: "Spread out and find out where Moria's true form is. He must be hiding nearby. His shadow cannot be too far away from his true form!".

Everyone listened.

Suddenly it dawned on me and I started searching.

Crocodile, who was trying hard to attack Blackbeard, couldn't help but glance at Usopp.

One of the smartest people in the world.

Crocodile felt that Usopp deserved this nickname.

When everyone was searching for Moria's true form, Nami first summoned a cloud, causing the cloud to disperse and turn into mist covering a 500-meter radius.

What she did.

Moria was found immediately.

She pointed in a direction and said to Luffy and the others: "There is someone over there who is contaminated with my mist, hiding behind that big horse-like rock!".

Hear Nami's words.

Luffy was the first to make a move.

He jumped a few times and arrived near the big rock. Then his arm stretched directly on the rock Nami said and smashed the rock into pieces.

"boom……".

The stone shattered.

Moriah's tall body appeared in front of everyone.

Luffy was not polite and blasted towards Moriah.

When Luffy attacks.

A black shadow suddenly appeared.

Blocked in front of Moriah.

"boom!".

Luffy punched the shadow and exploded it, turning into balls of black liquid and scattering on the ground.

And those black liquids.

As soon as they landed, they started gathering.

"I met Blackbeard, don't let Moria's shadow go back!".

Crocodile suddenly spoke.

He said something to everyone.

After hearing Crocodile's words, Usopp immediately said to everyone: "Nami, Luffy, you two are responsible for holding Moria. The rest of the people can go to Crocodile as long as Blackbeard is there. Attack as soon as it appears!”.

Hearing Usopp's orders.

Everyone started to take action separately.

Luffy and Nami, one is responsible for finding Moria's true form, and the other is responsible for attacking.

Works very well together.

The rest were around Crocodile.

Staring in the direction of Crocodile.

At this moment.

Not far from the foot of Crocodile.

The sand is constantly sinking, as if something underground is swallowing the sand.

ground.

Crocodile also sensed that someone was swallowing his sand.

He thought disdainfully:

Those sands were all made temporarily by him, and he wouldn't feel bad no matter how much they were swallowed up.

He just took a look.

How much sand can the other party swallow?

Anyway, there is no end to his side.

As long as there is soil.

He can make sand.

I thought about it.

Crocodile initiated a wider range of desertification, causing the sand to sink into the ground and be swallowed up.

He kept making sand.

Let the other party continue to absorb it.

It’s a suck-and-release confrontation.

If suck wins.

It would be difficult for Crocodile to control Blackbeard. Forced out of the ground.

If put win.

Crocodile could use the weight of sand to suppress Blackbeard's breath.

By the time.

Blackbeard will come out naturally.
