Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

"No, it's impossible!"

After being stabbed from behind by Rosen's Mirror Flower and Water Moon, Crocodile knelt in the desert, blood continuously flowing out from the wound on his chest, like a bloody waterfall, constantly washing over the desert where he knelt.

In this regard.

He ignored it and focused all his attention on the dried corpse in his right hand that had been drained of all the water.

"How could this be?"

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. After looking at it, Crocodile's face changed instantly.

He remembered clearly that the mummy in his hand was Rosen, who had been drained of moisture by him. But now the mummy was like a wisp of green smoke dissipated by the wind, disappearing from his sight.

As if it had never appeared.

"Don't waste your energy. You can't kill me."

Rosen raised the Zanpakutō in his hand and swung it lightly, throwing the blood that had pierced Crocodile from the blade flying onto the desert.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile's face darkened when he heard this. He endured the piercing pain in his chest, grabbed the sand in front of him with his stained right hand, and then raised his backhand to stir up the surging yellow sand, forming several sand blades mixed with purple light, and slashed towards Rosen who was standing behind him.

Under Crocodile's astonished gaze, Rosen was chopped into several pieces by the multiple desert swords he released, but the severed body immediately disappeared quickly like a dream bubble.

at the same time.

Behind Crocodile, another intact Rosen appeared again.

"That's it again!"

Crocodile turned his head to look at Rosen behind him, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

three times.

This was the third time he had witnessed the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, but he still could not see any flaws.

No matter when he was hit by the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, or when Rosen used the ability of the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, he was unable to detect it.

Whether they were unguarded or defended, the result was the same. From beginning to end, they were fooled by Rosen's ability of mirror flowers and water moons.

Not to mention cracking the illusion, even dealing with it is impossible.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"The true ability of my Zanpakutō, Kyoka Suigetsu, is complete hypnosis."

"As long as I wish, the opponents you defeat, no matter how many times, will be nothing but illusions."

Rosen stood behind Crocodile, looking down at the King of the Desert.

"Completely hypnotic?"

Crocodile thought of three times when he had hallucinations.

Sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.

All were affected.

The illusion world woven by the power of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is exactly the same as the real world.

Even the observation Haki could not detect any clues.

This illusion, which was indistinguishable from reality, even made him fall into it even though he knew the power of Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and he believed that he had killed Rosen.

Because all of this is too real.

No.

The information captured by the five senses and observation Haki, the feedback and processing results obtained by the brain are real.

Only at the moment when one's body is pierced by the blade can one realize that one has fallen into an illusion.

"Rosen, right in front of me."

"I was staring at him the whole time."

"Whether I was using my eyes or my observation Haki, I never relaxed for a moment, but I still couldn't detect when he used the power of the knife."

Crocodile was puzzled.

It would have been fine if Rosen had not shown up before, but now he was standing in front of him, but he still couldn't detect when Rosen used his ability of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon.

"unless."

At this time.

An idea emerged in Crocodile's mind, and his pupils immediately shrank, as if he thought of something horrible.

"So-called complete hypnosis."

"Once you are under the power of Mirror Flower and Water Moon, you will be completely hypnotized forever."

"Even if you know you're hypnotized, you can't escape."

When Crocodile thought of this, his heart was suddenly filled with stormy waves.

He had never been able to detect when Rosen used his ability of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons, because he had always been in an illusion, all the time, and had never left.

Since he was in a state of complete hypnosis, he certainly couldn't detect when Rosen used Mirror Flowers and Water Moon.

How could I, who has always been in the illusion world, possibly touch Rosen who is in the real world?

"yes.

“This is just a mirror image.”

"Once you are caught in the illusion, you will fall into a state of complete hypnosis from that moment on."

"This time is forever."

At this time.

Rosen suddenly spoke up, revealing Crocodile's thoughts and admitting that his guess was correct.

"Forever?"

After hearing this, Crocodile's heart sank, as if he was being pressed by an invisible mountain.

A lifetime of total hypnosis.

Then he is equivalent to a prisoner of illusions.

The kind that you can never be free of.

How could he fight in this situation?

"It seems you already understand."

"As a captive of Mirror Flower and Water Moon, you are not even qualified to swing your sword at me."

"Forever."

Rosen looked into Crocodile's eyes and spoke in a tone so calm that it seemed as if he was stating a fact.

"is it?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Crocodile gritted his teeth and dragged his blood-stained body to his feet from the desert.

"Oh?"

Seeing that Crocodile had not despaired, or had not given up, after facing the mirage several times, Rosen couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face.

"I don't need to distinguish between true and false."

"I don't need to know where you are."

"Just make sure you're near me."

Crocodile stomped the desert.

bang

puff

The vast desert first shook violently, then one, two, three... Little did they know that the sand blades that were advancing would rise from the ground, covering the desert for thousands of meters in radius.

As countless sand blades broke out of the ground, everything in sight was pierced through.

Whether it is Rosen, or Nico Robin and Kuzan who are in the same range.

No one is immune.

All of them were pierced by this blade hell woven from countless sand blades.

Not only that.

After being pierced by the sand blade, the water in the body will be quickly absorbed.

"Guhahahaha!"

"Rosen."

"If I were an animal-type or superhuman fruit user, then facing your mirage would be like facing despair."

"However, it is a pity."

"I am the user of the Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit. I only need to destroy everything in front of me, and all the enemies in this area will be destroyed as well."

Crocodile coughed a few times and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"An illusion is an illusion after all. It is false."

"My sand is different. It is real power."

"Even though I am in a state of complete hypnosis all the time, in the illusory world woven for me by your illusions, my sand can still touch you in the real world."

He didn't finish his sentence.

There was a sudden sound of something breaking.

then.

Under Crocodile's astonished gaze, one of his left arms was broken off at the root, stained with scarlet blood, and flew out into the air.

patter

As his arm fell to the ground, the belated pain finally woke Crocodile from his trance.

He had just come back to his senses and before he could react, he heard a familiar breaking sound again.

Followed by.

Crocodile only felt his right shoulder become lighter.

then.

Like his left arm, his right arm was also broken at the root and fell to the ground with a stream of blood.

In an instant.

The King of the Desert had both of his arms removed and he could do nothing but stand there stupidly, enduring the pain of his broken arms.
