Pirate's Unparalleled Spear Soul

Kingdom of Alabasta, near the capital Albana, next to the royal tomb of the Neferutari clan.

Crocodile felt the changes in his body, as if he had stronger control over his body, but it didn't seem to be that simple.

A gust of breeze blew by. Looking at his hands that slowly turned into fine sand, Crocodile did not panic. Instead, he was surprised to find that his ability to turn sand became more powerful. Waiting for the breeze to blow slowly, Crocodile It also turned into fine sand and disappeared.

Sanji and Zoro next to Luffy looked at the surrounding environment warily, but because this is Alabasta, there was sand around Zoro and Sanji, and even under their feet, which was a threat to Crocodile's ability. Has a huge bonus.

"Go to hell! Straw Hat."

Just as Luffy was still panting, another gust of wind came, and the fine sand that was blown up instantly turned into Crocodile when it flew behind Luffy; only Crocodile's palm was visible Touch it towards Luffy.

At the critical moment, Zoro, who had been standing on Luffy's right, also reacted. A ray of silver light flashed across, and Crocodile's palm was cut open by Zoro. At the same time, Sanji, who followed closely behind, also kicked Crocodile in the head, but Crocodile turned into fine sand and spread away, disappearing.

"It's very tricky. Luffy, you should be careful."

Sanji, who missed the kick, said to Luffy warily.

"Well, you should be careful too."

At this time, Luffy, who had lost his fighting ability, no longer had the strength to challenge Crocodile in a duel. Luffy no longer had this idea, and just asked Zoro and Sanji to be careful.

Luffy always felt as if Crocodile had changed as a different person, or that he had found his true self, which brought him a step closer to mastering the fruit's abilities.

"Just when Xue Zou was about to hit this guy, the air flow caused by the swing of the knife caused his sand body to fly away in the wind. The desert here has a great impact on him!"

At this time, Sauron also revealed the changes in Crocodile at the moment of the fight. The current situation is not friendly to Luffy and the three of them; Luffy has lost his fighting ability, and Zoro had worked hard to defeat 0 before he came. Although he has not lost his fighting ability, Zoro's physical strength is close to the limit. ; Sanji also had a fight with 2 before he came, and his physical strength was not optimistic.

Crocodile then carried out several more silent assassinations, which also exhausted Zoro and Sanji and caused constant injuries.

"It seems you are starting to despair."

Crocodile appeared again on a stone. Although his physical strength was close to the limit, the surrounding environment and the improvement of his own abilities meant that Crocodile did not need to expend too much energy.

"I said before, my ability is invincible in this country, there is no way you can defeat me!"

"Since I can defeat you once, I will defeat you a second time."

Luffy retorted loudly.

"Really? Then prove it to me! Straw hat boy who has no ability to resist, your safety now requires the protection of your companions, how can you beat me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Crocodile, who had drifted away in the wind, appeared in front of Luffy again. At the same time, Crocodile's right arm condensed a long golden knife made of sand.

"Desert Sword!"

"Jihe Lion Song Song!"

Seeing that Luffy was in danger, Zoro instantly released his hands holding Yukigashi and Sandaiki Tetsu, took out the word "Wado" from his mouth and performed the Iai's starting move, and finally blocked Crocodile. The desert sword.

Crocodile looked at the large cracks on the desert sword on his right arm and the huge crack on his waist; Crocodile frowned and said warily, "A swordsman? It's really a troublesome existence to lead people."

Zoro also used his remaining physical strength on this move. He barely held himself up and grinned, "You can't hurt our captain without our permission!"

"But you don't seem to have any extra energy."

As he spoke, Crocodile began to absorb the sand on the ground. The replenishment of sand also allowed the cracks on Crocodile's waist and hands to continue to repair. After all, Crocodile is a natural-type fruit ability user, and Sauron can't hurt Crocodile with improved abilities. What Zoro had cut before was just the desert sword on his right arm and the clothes around his waist.

"Desert Sword!"

Crocodile, who had repaired the desert sword, launched another offensive, but this time Zoro had no strength to stop him. Even Sanji, who wanted to lift his feet, was entangled in the sand on the ground by Crocodile. Time cannot escape.

"Flowing cloud style·piercing the clouds! Flowing light!"

I saw a stream of light rushing in front of Luffy, and another stream of light passing by. The desert sword in Crocodile's hand was pierced in half in an instant.

"Damn it, who is it this time!"

Crocodile was stopped again and again, and the mentality that had calmed down due to the improvement in strength had already exploded.

"Didn't Sauron say that before you kill us, you can't touch a hair on our captain's head!"

The figure in front of Luffy raised his head, and Luo Kai's face came into view.

"You guy..."

Just when Crocodile was about to say something else, Luo Kai used the Purple King Spear to swipe directly at Crocodile, and Crocodile was directly swiped away without even activating the elemental transformation.

"This, how is this possible!"

Crocodile saw that there was no trace of water stains on Zijun's gun, and it was hard to accept it. It's okay to say that Luffy used water to hit him. After all, this is the weakness of the Shasha fruit, but why can the purple gun also hit him? Is his gun made of sea stone? Or does the Shasha fruit have some weakness that I don't know about? Or does he have the domineering power unique to the new world?

For a moment, Crocodile also stopped attacking and kept staring at the Zijun gun in Luo Kai's hand, but he couldn't figure out why.

No, it shouldn't be made by Hailou Stone. I was hit just now but I didn't feel any powerlessness. This should be caused by other abilities. Crocodile is a man who dares to plan a country and is almost successful. He is very smart and can tell that it is not Hailoushi based on his previous feelings.

Since it's not Hailou Stone, there's nothing to be afraid of. As the protagonist of this venue, even if Luo Kai is really domineering, Crocodile is confident of defeating Luo Kai. But as for what mysterious moves Luo Kai used, wouldn't you know it if you hit him too many times?

Thinking of this, Crocodile rushed towards Luo Kai again and launched an offensive.

Luo Kai here also tightened his grip on the Zijun Spear in his right hand. The green light that had not been seen for a long time appeared on the tip of the spear again, and there was a faint wind blowing around the tip of the spear.
