My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

"I just beat you half to death, and you don't recognize me so quickly? That's right, after all, you don't know anything."

After hearing Luffy's answer, Annan shook his head, stretched out his left hand, and the flames in the wall of fire behind him began to gather towards his palm.

"Straw Hat Luffy, if you die here, it will be better for everyone."

"Are you going to stop me too? Gear 2!"

Seeing this, Luffy threw the thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind. He stretched out his hand, and his skin instantly turned red, and clouds of steam rose from his body.

Annan looked at Luffy's arms stretched back and nodded thoughtfully.

"This move should be called 'Rubber Bazooka'."

"Rubber Jet Bazooka!"

Luffy's extended arm suddenly retracted, and his whole body shot towards Annan like a cannonball.

Annan raised his left hand and pushed it forward suddenly. The flame in his palm instantly turned into a ferocious fire snake, opened its huge mouth, and bit towards Luffy.

"Fire snake strangulation."

Luffy was caught off guard and was swallowed by the fire snake. Then, the temperature of the fire snake began to rise sharply, and the ground nearby melted directly into magma.

"The temperature of the flame still can't exceed that of the magma." Annan frowned and looked at Luffy who was flapping in the snake's belly.

The "snake" move was his trump card that he had been practicing, but now it seemed that the effect was not as good as he had imagined.

"At least now, rubber is afraid of high temperatures and cuts."

Annan muttered, pulling out the Shura from his waist, with black flames wrapped around the blade.

"Gun wave!"

Almost at the same moment when Annan drew his sword, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance, and a column of water shot straight towards Annan like a laser.

Snapped!

In response, Annan simply stretched out his hand, and a large amount of flames spurted out of his palm. The flames and the water column merged together, making an explosion sound and raising a large amount of steam.

"Jinbei?"

Annan looked at Jinbei standing on the harbor, and before he could fight back, he saw him jump into the sea. Immediately afterwards, a cloud of sand and dust was raised not far away, and it rushed towards Annan at a high speed.

clang!

Annan swung his knife at Shachen without hesitation. There was a crisp sound of metal hitting metal, and a golden hook blocked the blade.

"Crocodale."

Annan saw the attacker clearly and had a strange expression on his face. This guy and the Straw Hats were not on good terms, so why did he suddenly intervene?

"I have a deal with Ivankov. Straw Hat Luffy can't die so easily."

Crocodile said, "Also, I still have a score to settle with you guys in Alabasta, Desert Sword!"

Crocodile didn't waste time talking to Annan. He just stretched out his hand, and his arm turned into sand and became a large sand blade. The sand blade extended along the ground, cutting a huge incision in the ground and went straight towards Annan.

Annan dodged the blow by moving to the side. Crocodile predicted the direction of Annan's dodge, and his body quickly moved in elemental form, pressing down on Annan with his right hand.

"Erosion of reincarnation!"

Annan wrapped his right hand with Armament Haki and caught Crocodile's palm. Then wrapped his blade with Haki and slashed at Crocodile's right arm, forcing Crocodile to Elementalize in advance to avoid the blade.

Annan then took several steps back and looked down at his right hand. Although protected by his domineering aura, his right hand still became somewhat shriveled.

"Mlocculant Jiu-Jitsu·Water Heart·Ocean Current Over Shoulder Throw!"

Suddenly, a column of water flew from the sea to the square, extinguishing the fire snake that trapped Luffy. Ivankov also ran to Luffy with his big head and began to give him another emergency treatment.

Annan looked up and looked to his left at Crocodile who was biting a cigar, then looked to his right at Jinbei who was striding towards Luffy, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Three of you are fighting against me alone? Do you have any shame?"
