One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Yellow smoke and dust floated in the desolate desert. Crocodile, lying on his back, noticed the changes in his body, and a strong vitality continued to repair his injuries.

"Kid, what do you mean by this?"

Moving his body, Crocodile stood up and squinted his eyes, looking at the girl beside him. He didn't believe that the other party would do this for no reason.

Putting away the flame in his hand, An caught the flying blue and red, and said in a calm voice, "From today on, you are my subordinates."

Tease the two birds in his hand, An directly announced his decision unilaterally.

"Don't joke here, I won't be someone else's subordinate," Crocodile's hoarse and low voice came after lighting the cigar he just took out.

"Really?" An turned his head and looked at Crocodile. His voice sounded again, but this time it was more threatening. "Become my subordinate, or die now. You choose one."

Looking directly at Crocodile, An believed that he would make the right choice. Whether it was stealing the world this time, seeking the ancient weapon Pluto, or through the original work of the previous life, Crocodile was a well-deserved hero, and the greatest advantage of a hero was that he could bend and stretch.

Feeling the murderous intent in An's eyes, Crocodile was sure that as long as he refused, the other party would definitely kill him without hesitation. He knew very well that his strength was not worth mentioning in front of the other party. Even if he was not a natural system, he might not be able to beat the two strange birds.

It seems that he has no choice. He took a deep puff of the cigar, recalling himself when he refused Whitebeard's invitation. A dragon-like smoke came out. Crocodile stepped on the cigar with force and smiled grimly: "I will not be a weakling who is inferior to others!!"

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Four several-meter-high crescent-shaped sand blades whistled in, representing not only Crocodile's choice, but also his spirit!

The two birds on his shoulders smashed the sharp sand blades. An noticed that Crocodile's momentum had changed. He didn't expect that before he died, he actually found his former self.

"Since you have made a choice, you must pay the price!"

As An's voice fell, the wind and clouds changed drastically. The originally clear sky suddenly dimmed, and black clouds covered the sky, and the momentum of a storm was formed.

Dark red thunder exploded, crazy lightnings roamed wantonly, and the surrounding void also produced an invisible distortion. The powerful overlord color roared like a beast out of the cage, and waves of shocking fluctuations spread in all directions.

"Boom!"

The wailing of the sky sounded, pale lightning shuttled through the clouds, and the raging wind blew through Crocodile's body, making the latter feel a long-lost sense of oppression.

"Divine Bird • Armed!!"

Under the white electric light, the rich black domineering aura emerged from the limbs, entangled, and wrapped An's body completely, and finally formed a dark red divine bird pattern on the cheek.

Between the eyebrows, three flame marks were formed, and the three-color divine fire began to wander along An's body, interweaving and strengthening. Every time it passed by a part of the body, it would engrave a strange flame pattern like a totem. When everything was completed, the remaining divine fire intertwined into three tail feathers burning with black flames behind him.

As the three-color flame mark on his forehead ignited, An's long hair faded from white to red.

"Secret: Heavenly Fire Spear!"

A dark tail feather fell off from behind him and flew lightly into the sky. An raised his palm high, and the crimson flames on his body seemed to have received a command, rising continuously and attaching to the end of the dark tail feathers. As more and more flames attached, a crimson flame spear with strange patterns and surrounded by flames, a full 20 meters long, stretched across the sky.

With the black tail feather as the spear tip and the liberated blazing sun flame as the pole, this is the new move that An came up with. Unlike other moves, this move is strong in single-point breakthrough.

Holding the Heavenly Fire Spear in his hand, An's body was surging with flames, and he threw it straight at Crocodile.

"You will die!" The body's instinct gave a warning, and Crocodile decisively used his strongest attack.

"Sand crocodile!"

Under the gloomy sky, the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit mobilized the scattered desert, and yellow ribbons made of sand gathered in front of Crocodile. Small gravels were stacked one by one, and four sturdy limbs appeared in front of the empty space.

It seemed that there was not enough gravel, and the sand outside the ice wall also flew up out of thin air, forming a vast river of yellow sand flowing into the interior. With enough gravel, parts of the limbs began to emerge, and the yellow sand formed a huge torso, which was slowly covered with fresh scales. The powerful sand tail slapped the ground, splashing huge dust, and a lifelike sand crocodile half the size of a warship appeared in everyone's sight.

The ancient beast stood up, staring at the fiery red spear projected from the sky, opened its bloody mouth, and the silent roar spread all over the place. The body spun, and the huge sand tail smashed into the sky with the force of thunder.

It seemed like a strong clash, but in reality, no matter how fierce the sand crocodile looked, the strength between the two was an unbridgeable gap. If An hadn't wanted to keep Crocodile, he wouldn't have spent so much effort.

"Swish!"

The sharp divine spear, set off by the sky fire, easily pierced through the entire body of the sand crocodile. The power remained undiminished, carrying unparalleled power, just like piercing through a layer of window paper, the divine spear pierced through Crocodile's chest, and the tip of the spear sank deep into the sand. The battle started quickly and ended even faster.

Two black tail feathers danced, An landed near the Flame Spear, stretched out his hand to hold the fiery red spear shaft, and the spear began to slowly disintegrate.

The flame of life hung Crocodile's life, and An took him with him and appeared beside Weiwei and others.

"An, what are you doing..."

Weiwei looked at the girl with strange patterns all over her body with some hesitation. They saw the battle just now clearly from a distance, and the disaster-like battle scene really opened their eyes.

Whether it was the powerful flame spear condensed by An or the huge sand crocodile summoned by Crocodile, they all made them realize the power of the strong in this world again.

Throwing the unconscious Crocodile in his hand to Bell, "Take him, he can still be useful to me."

Disarming his posture, An stretched his waist and strode towards the city.
