Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

The small sandstorm immediately grew larger the moment it left Crocodile's palm and quickly turned into a large sandstorm.

Wherever the sandstorm passed, floor tiles were crushed and various objects scattered around were also swept up, further enhancing its power.

The sandstorm moved very quickly and arrived in front of Remos in a blink of an eye. He quickly slid two steps to the side and felt a powerful force tearing at him, trying to drag him into the sandstorm.

The next second, the sandstorm rolled over where Remos had been standing and rushed towards a small building behind.

With a loud crash, the small building was destroyed on the spot. Fortunately, no screams were heard from inside, so there should be no one inside.

"Such a powerful force..."

Remos was secretly shocked.

In the original novel, Crocodile was not very impressive in the early days, his bounty was not high, and his plots were low-level. He was a natural fruit and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he was defeated by the fledgling Luffy, which was a shame for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It was not until the war at the top that his image was slightly restored.

Later on, he became the mastermind behind the Cross Guild, one of the Four Emperors, and finally showed some signs of a hero.

So if you only look at his early performance, then this person is really not good enough.

However, in fact, when Remos really faced Crocodile, he could deeply appreciate the opponent's strength.

After all, Shalan is not a big move in Lao Sha's hands. It can only be regarded as a small skill that requires him to put in a little effort. However, such a skill which is only slightly stronger than a normal attack can easily destroy a small stone building, which shows its terrifying power.

"Where are you looking?"

Just as Remos was about to look away, Crocodile's cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, a curved hook containing a highly poisonous substance appeared in Remos' sight and stabbed towards him rapidly.

Clang——

The next second, the scorpion venom needle and the revolver collided with each other, and a gust of wind quickly spread out with the two people as the center, blowing up a large amount of dust around them.

Remos held the gun with both hands and used the gun body to block the attack of the scorpion venom needle. The tip of the curved hook was less than thirty centimeters away from him.

Behind him was Crocodile's sinister gaze.

"Sea Ranger? I don't think you're anything more than that. Your strength isn't as great as you show...Crescent Dune!"

Crocodile sneered, and pressed down hard with the scorpion tail needle in his left hand, which kept colliding with the two guns. At the same time, his right hand slashed horizontally, and the whole arm turned into a crescent-shaped sand blade, sweeping towards Remos fiercely.

If hit by this move, all the water in Remos' body will be sucked away in an instant, and he will turn into a mummy and fall to the ground and die like the unlucky guys in the original book.

This is the real horror of Crocodile. All of his attacks have the effect of absorbing water. Anyone who is sucked by him will lose water and dry up and then die.

Of course Remos couldn't be hit like that.

Before Crocodile's arm could attack him, he stopped fighting the scorpion's tail needle, retreated slightly, and quickly ducked to avoid Crocodile's first wave of attacks. Then, his feet were like greased, and he took a big step and spun his body to avoid the subsequent sand attacks.

That’s not all. Without even having to get up, Remos fired two shots with no shooting vision at all, and both shots hit Crocodile’s head.

It’s a long story, but in fact, from the time Crocodile suddenly appeared next to Remos to the time he shot him in the head twice, only one second passed.

Crocodile stopped all movements, and Remos slid several meters away.

"It seems that I still overestimate you. Don't you know that the natural devil fruit is least afraid of physical attacks?"

Crocodile slowly turned around, revealing his head which had been mostly blown off and was now recovering rapidly.

"..."

Remos did not answer, but narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes became sharper.

"When Mr. 3 and the others lost contact, I thought they had encountered some formidable opponent. But now it seems that you may be a little clever, with good marksmanship and good body skills, but you are still too weak. How can you be my opponent! Desert Sword!"

Crocodile became angrier and angrier as he spoke. This time he finally stopped trying and attacked directly with his strongest attitude.

The Desert Sword is his truly powerful attack, which also transforms his arm into a sand blade. However, the Desert Sword is far superior to the Crescent Dune in both speed and power.

A sharp sand blade instantly flew over a distance of more than ten meters and came in front of Remos.

Remos could only dodge sideways.

The moment he dodged, Crocodile suddenly started and teleported in front of Remos.

"Do you know how much damage you have caused me? You bastard!"

The scorpion venom needle fell heavily, smashing the ground under Remos' feet into pieces.

Amidst a large amount of flying rubble, Remos quickly jumped back, and while in mid-air, he raised his hand and fired two shots.

Crocodile chased after him, completely ignoring the two bullets, and pounced in front of Remos again, his right hand turning into a sand blade again.

"You ruined my long-term plan. I thought you were some great person, but it turns out you're just a loser who only knows how to dodge? In that case, then go to hell!"

Another desert sword attacked, and Remos was unable to dodge, and half of his clothes were cut off.

In fact, the Desert Knife was coming directly towards him, but was slightly blocked by his gun body and failed to hit his body directly.

"Dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge. Is that all you know how to dodge? Where's your awesomeness in the East China Sea? Show it to me! Heavyweight Shalan!!"

A sandstorm even more terrifying than the previous one formed, swallowing Remos whole.

Crocodile raised his arms with a calm expression as he watched Remos being torn to pieces bit by bit in the sandstorm, and then disappeared into a wisp of smoke.

Huh? Wait, it disappeared?

Crocodile was slightly startled.

Before he could react, Remos' figure had already appeared beside him.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed directly at Crocodile's temple.

"as you wish."

boom--

Fire spurted out of the muzzle of the gun, and a bullet shot out, flying in front of Crocodile in an instant at lightning speed.

The attack came too suddenly. Crocodile was totally unprepared and could only watch the bullet getting closer and closer to him...
