One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

As the user of the Crystal-Crystal Fruit, Rubel can manipulate crystals at will and homogenize with them. The crystals will automatically judge threats from the outside world to protect the person from harm. This is one of the few Devil Fruits that can achieve both offense and defense at the same time.

In addition, the main component of the crystal made by Rubel is a very rare special metal. The hardness of this metal is no less than that of seastone, which is known for its solidity. Even if it is bombarded by high-frequency shells, it remains intact and can rebound the impact. With the continuous development of the ability users, it will become more resilient.

Everything in the world has its own weaknesses, and the Crystal Fruit is no exception. Once the surface of the crystal comes into contact with a large amount of sea salt, its metal part will corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye, looking like ice melting under the sun, and finally only a pool of sticky liquid remains.

And in this endless ocean, what is most abundant is high concentration of sea salt.

Of course, Kaido was not very clear about this. He just unilaterally believed that the substances generated by the ability users would lose their effect when they came into contact with sea water. Therefore, he suddenly came up with the idea of ​​using a large amount of sea water to destroy the huge crystal. He originally had the mentality of making a bet, but he did not expect that he would succeed in one fell swoop.

"Hey, hey, don't do that!"

Rubair looked up at the figure in the sky, his pupils suddenly contracted, a bean-sized drop of cold sweat emerged from his forehead, slid down his cheek and fell to his neck. He pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and muttered, "I had already expected that they would take countermeasures, so I specially asked Mr. Satan for help. Those special crystals will not corrode in a short time even if they are washed by sea water. How did that kid do it?"

He never imagined that although Rocks, who was sealed in the crystal, could not move, he still retained a faint consciousness. The domineering aura released from his whole body continued to impact the inner wall. The inside of the crystal did not have the automatic repair function like the outside, and over time, slight cracks appeared, spreading outward little by little.

The moment the crystal was engulfed by the surging sea water, the hardness of its surface was greatly reduced, as if it had become vulnerable. The entire crystal exploded instantly under the two violent and domineering internal and external bombardments, turning into countless tiny fragments that flew everywhere.

"Hmm... hmm... it went very smoothly..."

Looking at the stardust flying all over the sky like snowflakes, Kaido gasped and lay on his back in a "big" shape. The previous attack consumed a lot of his domineering energy, and the mace in his hand fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

His rough face was full of fatigue, but a relieved smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "If you don't perform well, I will never let you go..."

At this moment, the people on both sides who were fighting each other on the battlefield stopped what they were doing because of the deafening explosion. They all looked in the direction of the sound, with shock and confusion on their faces.

“Are you kidding me…?”

Zhan Guo gritted his teeth, an unprecedented gloom appeared on his face, "What on earth is Rubair doing?"

"He took the credit first."

Newgate sighed, his crescent-shaped beard rising slightly as the corners of his mouth turned up, "Though I'm not unhappy about it."

"…Things are getting complicated."

Because the place where he was standing was shattered by the surging sword energy, Lieutenant General He, who had jumped onto another raised platform, raised his eyes and looked at the sky. His gentle eyes gradually became much more solemn.

She knew very well that Rubair's special crystal was a crucial card for them. Once something went wrong with this card, the outcome of the battle would develop into an unexpected result.

All they had to do now was to try their best to minimize the losses. After all, they were going to face the monster that had never tasted defeat!

"When I was away, it felt like the world had turned upside down..."

As the hoarse yet domineering voice sounded, Rocks' thin figure slowly descended from the sky, looking down at the crowd below.

Those narrow eyes like blades were deep and bottomless, emitting endless deterrence and oppression, like a king dominating the world. It seemed that everything was not worth mentioning to him, and no one could enter his eyes.

"Let's ignore the sudden appearance of so many buzzing bugs. This cover looks very valuable..."

Muttering to himself, Rocks slightly raised his head and looked up at the huge diamond cover that enveloped the entire grassland island tightly. He couldn't help but frowned. If there was someone beside him at this time, they would notice the complex emotions of anger and hatred intertwined in his eyes.

In an instant, there were figures huddled in corners, wearing shackles, being whipped and hung in torture chambers for three days and three nights, and thousands of bodies randomly dumped in the sewers with no one paying attention to them... A series of unbearable scenes from the past flashed through Lockes' mind like flowing clouds, causing him to clench his fists and make a sound like frying beans. His voice also became a little deeper: "It seems a little restrained."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rocks stomped his feet on the air, and the whole person soared into the sky like an arrow, passing through layers of clouds and rushing to the top of the Vajra Shield at lightning speed.

Then, throw a punch.

The next moment, thick, long, black lightning exploded on his fist, floating in the air like a vine. For a moment, the entire grassland island was shaking continuously.

With the fist contact surface as the center, spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly on the surface of the cover, and soon spread to every inch of the entire cover. With the sound of shattering glass resounding through the sky, the originally indestructible huge diamond cover instantly shattered, and pieces of debris flew all over the sky, and disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye.

"That guy... How is it possible?!"

Zhan Guo's pupils suddenly contracted, and the astonishment on his face could not be more exaggerated. The diamond shield created by the ability of the Human-Human Fruit, the Mythical Beast, and the Great Buddha Form was difficult to be effective against any attack, and it could also absorb external energy and use it for its own benefit, making the diamond shield even stronger than before.

Therefore, Sengoku has always been fully confident in the strategy of trapping the Rocks Pirates in the Diamond Shield and catching them all in one fell swoop.

However, with just one strike, the Diamond Shield, which he regarded as his trump card, was completely shattered, without even a trace of debris left.

What an amazing domineering attitude!

Just as he was sighing in his heart, a sharp gust of wind came quickly from behind him. Zhan Guo was startled and turned around and clapped his hands. There was a loud bang like thunder, and a strong airflow swept in all directions. The thick dust on the ground was immediately lifted several meters high and spread like a sandstorm.

"Well!"

Zhan Guo gritted his teeth and poured all his domineering energy into his right palm to fight against the surging impact. To his surprise, the oncoming naginata did not directly touch his palm, as if there was an invisible wall in between. Countless thick black lightning burst out, crackling sounds were endless, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the squeeze of two huge forces.

Following a huge roar, both sides retreated a distance.

"..."

Zhan Guo stretched out his palm and looked at his sunken palm. His expression became even uglier. He raised his eyes and looked down at the tall figure standing not far away. He said in a deep voice, "You even mastered the Condensation of Conqueror's Haki? Bastard Newgate!"

"Gulala! Don't you have the domineering Haki as well?"

Newgate laughed loudly, pointed the blade at the huge Buddha in front of him, and teased in a teasing tone, "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"

"No need for your 'kindness'!"

With a loud shout, Zhan Guo raised his right foot high, and stomped towards Newgate as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

The air vibrated, the ground shook, and a huge hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Countless cracks continued to spread from the hole. At the same time, the place where Newgate was originally located was empty.

"You think I didn't notice?!"

Zhan Guo quickly turned around and slapped out his right palm. A huge golden shock wave gushed out from the palm of his hand, rushing towards Newgate's figure that appeared the next moment.

boom!

With a deafening roar, countless rocks flew out and air currents surged around. A long gully was blasted out of the originally riddled ground, extending to the end of the island.

"Gulala! That may not be the case!"

Amidst a hearty laugh, Newgate's figure suddenly rushed out from the rising smoke and leaped high into the air. A circle of light green spheres surrounded the blade, and black and red domineering aura burst out. It came down towards the astonished Zhan Guo at lightning speed.

Faced with this sudden attack, Zhan Guo immediately came to his senses, and without any hesitation, he stretched out his palms in front of his chest and quickly drew an arc, forming a semicircular golden barrier in front of him, covering his entire body.

With a sharp and piercing noise, Cong Yunqie hit the barrier fiercely, splashing sparks. Countless dense cracks quickly spread outward from the center of the barrier. At the same time, the ground under Zhan Guo's feet shattered and sank more than three meters, raising a large amount of dust.

"hateful......!"

Zhan Guo roared in a low voice, veins popping out on his forehead, and he used all his strength to concentrate all his strength on the barrier. With the two of them as the center, a huge ball of light gradually condensed and continued to expand outward rapidly, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.

boom!

After expanding to a certain extent, the light ball suddenly exploded, and the dazzling white light spread rapidly in all directions, swallowing up Newgate and Warring States in an instant.

"Hahaha! Isn't it much better this way?"

Looking at the war-torn sea in the distance, Rocks felt indescribably happy, with his signature grin on his face, "Next..."

As he spoke, he slowly scanned the island, and finally his sight fell on a man with a big pink slicked-back hair and a pair of goggles. His eyes suddenly darkened, "It's time to let the world remember what the price will be for deceiving me!"

Before he finished speaking, Rocks adjusted his body shape and dived down from the air in a head-down position, turning into a black stream of light, leaving circles of sonic boom clouds behind him, and shot towards the target on the ground. The huge wind pressure he created wherever he passed went downwards like a raging sea, causing the surrounding weeds to sway.

"Ah, you regard me as your number one target for revenge?"

Looking up at the figure approaching him rapidly, Rubair changed his previous frivolous tone and his expression became serious for the first time in a long time. He stretched out his hands forward, and in an instant, crystals like flying cherry blossoms in the sky quickly rotated around him, gradually converging into a crystal fortress towering into the clouds. Its surface was covered with dense spikes, and it glowed a dazzling crimson sheen under the light.

"Although I don't know if I can stop it, but if I don't try first, I won't be able to predict the result, right?!"

Rubair licked his dry lips with his tongue, his eyes revealing a mixture of tension and excitement.

Deep in his heart, there was always a strong desire. He was eager to know the gap between himself and the strongest in the world. This desire was like a burning flame, constantly stimulating him to climb to the top.
