The bandage spirit becomes a spirit! Luffy and the others are surprised!

Luffy would not be driven away by mere quicksand, and continued to run as hard as he could, shouting, "I will not be buried alive by the sand!"

Luffy suddenly had an idea and hammered down with both hands. Under the reaction force, he escaped from the crisis and jumped out of the quicksand. His hands crossed in the air to form a net, trying to catch the crocodile.

It's just in vain.

Seeing that this attack was ineffective, Luffy changed his mind, opened his big mouth, and swallowed the crocodile's head in one gulp, but it was still useless. The sand was seamless and the crocodile got out of Luffy's mouth, recovered its shape, and warned, "You'd better stop struggling like this!"

"Cough cough cough--" Luffy kept coughing, his throat was filled with sand and itchy.

The crocodile stretched out its hand towards Luffy and grabbed him, causing Luffy to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luffy: !!!

Luffy shook off Crocodile in time, half of his body was wrinkled and the other half was full of energy.

"Don't struggle. I've sucked half of the water out of you." Crocodile looked at Luffy like this, with a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face, waiting for Luffy's 'wonderful reaction.'

water?

After hearing what the crocodile said, Luffy suddenly realized that since the water in his body had been sucked away by the crocodile, he could just replenish it.

Luffy immediately drank the small bucket of water that Uncle Duoduo had given him as a gift, and he drank it in big gulps, gulping it down into his stomach.

Crocodile looked at Luffy wolfing down his food with some amusement, and said cruelly, "Drinking water is useless!"

Dazai Osamu squatted on the side, holding his face, listening to Crocodile's arrogant words of trust in his ability. He yawned out of boredom, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. But it was useless to Luffy.

Sure enough, the crocodile's eyes widened slightly, and he was slapped in the face before he finished speaking. As soon as Luffy swallowed the water, due to his rubber man's physique, his whole body "bang" returned to its original state, and there was no sign of the dry and shriveled look just now.

The crocodile could no longer bear it. He thought that the little guy who could be defeated in a few moves had been struggling for so long that he cursed, "Let's die together, just like the one who was showing off in Yoba."

"???" Luffy looked at Crocodile in confusion.

"The three minutes are up. I said at the beginning that I don't have time to play with you. Sandstorm--"

A huge sandstorm arose from the ground, and strong winds were howling.

The crocodile closed his eyes and felt it carefully. With a smile on his face, he said softly, "The dryness of the sand is just right-"

Dazai Osamu stretched out his right hand, and the fine sand brushed against his slender white fingers, feeling the direction of the wind. Southeast wind, the direction of Yoba.

"That won't do~" Dazai Osamu said lightly.

The wind blew up Crocodile's fur coat, and Crocodile asked Luffy a question, "Straw Hat Boy, listen carefully, the prevailing wind here is from north to south all year round. If my sandstorm goes south, where will it go?"

"Yoba." Dazai Osamu brushed the flying black curly hair around his ear with one hand, raised his eyebrows, and looked deep in his eyes. He answered Crocodile's question indifferently on behalf of Luffy.

With his back to the huge natural disaster - the tornado, Dazai Osamu stood upright, his camel coat swaying in the wind, revealing his slender figure. His shirt was blown up, and the exposed skin was tightly covered with white bandages. He looked thin and pale, with only his face without any bandages.

"Dazai?!" Luffy looked at Dazai Osamu who seemed to be blown away by the wind, and exclaimed, his face wrinkled into a piece, his mouth opened, and he squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "Come here!"

Dazai Osamu gently slid past Luffy who was worried about him, and walked closer to the tornado. He stretched out his finger forward, and the moment his fingertips touched the crocodile, the crocodile's face turned black, like ink, "Tai! Zai!"

Crocodile felt that the tornado he created disappeared. He didn't expect that the neutralization ability was so strong that his enhanced devil fruit ability was vulnerable.

The crocodile had an unprecedented sense of crisis, and he had to get rid of this man right now!

However, the existence of the ancient weapon Pluto will restrain his murderous intent. Now is not the time. As long as it is translated, kill him immediately. There is no time to lose!

Dazai Osamu felt the crocodile's murderous intent behind him, and understood that the crocodile was a smart creature and would not kill him directly. It would only squeeze out his usefulness first and then abandon him. It was a bit of a pity, because now was the best time.

The crocodile is too conceited.

The most unfortunate thing when facing Dazai Osamu is to become his enemy, so as long as you seize the opportunity, you must kill him immediately and don't listen to his instigation.

Unfortunately, as a Yokohama worrywart, he can accurately step on people's bottom line repeatedly, stir up people's deepest desires, and make them unable to help but step into the trap set by Dazai.

If he did not want to die, no one could take his life. He could make people treat him as a distinguished guest, or he could make people hate him so much that they wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This two-level contrast depended on Dazai Osamu's mood, and people were easily played in his hands.

"Dazai--" Luffy moved closer to Dazai, grabbed his shoulders, and looked him up and down anxiously to see if he was hurt, the pain in his eyes showing on his face.

Even Luffy knows very well that it is difficult to avoid getting hurt in such a natural disaster that is beyond human control.

In Luffy's eyes, although Dazai Osamu is very powerful, to a certain extent, he is very weak and someone who needs to be paid attention to at all times.

Luffy is very afraid that one day, Dazai Osamu will quietly disappear into an invisible dark corner, so before Dazai Osamu gives up his suicidal hobby, Luffy will watch him. As his companion and his captain, he will be responsible for Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu's fair face was scratched by the strong wind and the pebbles it carried. He had an indifferent expression. He gently wiped the bleeding wound on his face with his right index finger, stared intently, opened his mouth, and licked it with his bright red and soft tongue, smelling the familiar foul smell of rust.

With his rotten smell, Dazai Osamu lowered his eyelids.

Crocodile approached the two with a dark face. Luffy stood in front of Dazai Osamu vigilantly, "What do you want to do!"

Crocodile was no longer in the mood to tease Luffy and he flipped sideways and with great swiftness kicked Luffy away. Luffy didn't even have time to react as he was thrown into the air, backwards several meters, and tumbled several times in the sand.

Luffy immediately leaped back to his feet and kicked towards the crocodile. His pupils trembled, his mouth opened wide, and he stared at it like a fool. His mouth twitched a few times, his Adam's apple twitched up and down, and finally - "Dazai!!!"

The roar, filled with crying, disbelief and other unspeakable negative emotions, echoed in the desert.

It has been a long time since he suffered this kind of injury. Since coming to the world of pirates, Dazai Osamu has rarely been injured. One reason is because of Luffy and his companions' strict defense, and the other is because he is struggling to hold on to the hope of resurrecting his friends.

Dazai's throat was filled with blood, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, blood slowly dripping from the corners of his mouth. Dazai gently raised his eyelids and looked at Luffy who was running towards him, with a faint smile on his face, as if to comfort Luffy, saying that he couldn't die.

The crocodile used its left hook to pierce Dazai Osamu's abdomen, avoiding a fatal injury. Eye-catching red blood flowed from the wound, staining a small area of ​​sand below red.

The crocodile retracted his left hand, and Dazai fell to the ground with a thud. He felt dizzy due to the massive blood loss and his head was a little heavy.

The crocodile frowned as he looked at the hook in his left hand, on which the blood was still fresh. Dazai Osamu did not resist or dodge, as if he had been waiting for it for a long time. He stared straight at the crocodile's fatal attack without blinking.

Why? Crocodile frowned and looked at Dazai Osamu on the ground in confusion, not knowing his purpose.

Luffy's eyes were red, with red bloodshot all over his eyeballs, and his whole body was red and hot. The sound of his violent heartbeat rang in his ears, and the surrounding scenery disappeared before his eyes. The only thing in his eyes was the falling figure of Dazai Osamu.

Dazai, are you going to die?

Luffy wouldn't believe it, he slowly walked towards the fallen Dazai Osamu.

Crocodile raised his eyebrows and looked at Luffy who was seriously injured, but did not tell him that Dazai Osamu was still alive, after all, he still needed him.

The crocodile laughed mockingly, "Aren't you prepared for your companions to sacrifice their lives? Why are you afraid to accept this scene?"

Luffy could no longer hear what Crocodile said and just kept running forward. Seeing that Luffy was ignoring his existence, Crocodile became dissatisfied and kicked Luffy away when he saw Luffy running towards him.

Luffy no longer had the energy to counterattack. He got up sluggishly and rushed over using his hands and feet.

“Bang——” He was kicked away again, again and again, covered with wounds, but still rushed forward without giving up.

Dazai's life breath was getting weaker and weaker, and the light of life was almost inaudible.

Luffy does not accept Dazai Osamu's embrace of the God of Death. Even if he is the God of Death, he cannot take the life of his companion!

After kicking Luffy away for the last time, Crocodile felt a little bored looking at Luffy who was like a cockroach. He grabbed Dazai Osamu's clothes that fell to the ground with his right hand and turned around to leave.

"Asshole! Stop right there!" Luffy's eyes were wide open with a ferocious expression.

The crocodile ignored it and continued to move away.

"I said, stop it!!!"

An entire invisible aura spread out from Luffy in a 360-degree range, bringing with it a surging wind, and waves rolled up in the desert. It was the domineering domineering.

Crocodile stopped. Even though he had retreated to the front of the Grand Line, he still knew what Luffy had inspired.

Can’t stay!

"Stop!" Luffy rushed over with his tired body, his hands faintly emitting black light, and punched the crocodile in the abdomen. This time, there was a real feeling of the impact.

"Straw Hat boy, who do you think I am? There are many bragging idiots like you in the Grand Line!"

Crocodile was afraid of Luffy, and the same hook pierced through Luffy's body. Luffy coughed up blood, his eyes fixed on Dazai Osamu on Crocodile's right hand, and his right hand slowly stretched to the side, muttering "Dazai——"

"Patta--" Luffy fell to the ground covered in blood, his eyes turned white and stretched towards Dazai.

"Don't worry, you will be able to set off on the journey to Hades with your companions soon."

Luffy was slowly submerged in the quicksand, and his life or death was unknown.
