One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Nicole Robin, in her late teens.

She is still a little girl after all.

Although he has been hunted by the World Government for many years and has experienced many dangerous moments, he is still too immature after all.

She has never experienced a "battlefield" personally, and even a meeting of the fiercest and strongest warriors is nothing more than a collision between "strong" and "strong".

That feeling that life is fleeting, that fear of losing everything in an instant, that feeling of powerlessness that nothing can be changed...

Not simply "lost", but "instantly lost".

This little girl doesn’t know yet.

Because of this, Nico Robin blinked subconsciously at the moment when heavy rain fell on the Capital of Seven Waters.

Eyes closed and opened.

In the last scene, Crocodile was clearly still standing there, smoking a cigar;

In the next scene, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared and punched Crocodile on the head.

Phew—boom boom boom boom!

Crocodile almost changed his shape, hit the wall heavily, then broke through the wall, crashed into several houses one after another, and finally sank into the ruins.

"..."

Nico Robin's eyes widened and her mouth opened.

Extreme panic and uneasiness surged into her heart, making her unable to make any sound or even move her body!

Click!

Lightning flashed across the sky, revealing the true face of the black shadow.

Wearing a black military uniform, with red skin and long golden curly hair, he was extremely tall and burly, with a strong sense of strength.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He opened his arms and vented his ferocity and violence unbridled!

"One or two is not enough!"

"By the way, who was that just now? I didn't see clearly..."

"But at this level, you can't even make me sweat. Let's get some strong enemies!"

"Come again! Come again!"

"..."

…

Blah blah blah...

The rain kept falling.

The raindrops gathered into water, washing over Crocodile's body, and eventually turned into blood, flowing farther away.

Crocodile lay on his back, with most of his body buried in the rubble.

The head was hit hard, and blood spurted out from the ears, nose, mouth, and corners of the eyes. The injuries were extremely serious!

"Tsk..."

There was a buzzing in his head, and the severe pain turned into nauseating chaos.

Crocodile recalled just now.

The "surprise" of discovering that the World Government has a real back-up plan, coupled with the "unaccustomedness" of being suddenly hit by a heavy downpour, and even the "confusion" of tracking down all the way...

A variety of factors mixed together, eventually causing his spirit to experience a very short "relaxation".

Normally, this kind of relaxation would be nothing more than a yawn, a frown, or a bulging vein.

But at that moment, it became Crocodile's biggest flaw!

"..."

Crocodile turned his head slightly and saw the face of the man in the distance through his bloody sight.

Like an evil ghost, it's terrifying.

His name is: Douglas Barrett, nicknamed [Descendant of the Devil]!

Crocodile recognized him and remembered his past relationship with him.

That was when he first went to sea.

At that time, Douglas Barrett had just left the Roger Pirates and was wandering the sea as a newcomer.

Crocodile met him, and the two sides fought for a long time, but there was still no winner, and the final result was nothing.

Later, I heard that in order to deal with Barret, the World Government activated the Demon-Slaying Order, which eventually exhausted his physical strength and imprisoned him on the bottom floor of Impel Down City.

"I see……"

Crocodile murmured, connecting everything together.

"In order to deal with the primitive people, did the world government pardon Barrett?"

"As long as the [Devil] can be killed, the World Government doesn't care about letting the [Devil's Descendants] cause trouble again, right?"

"It's really no matter the cost!"

"Hehehe, I understand, I understand..."

Feeling powerless, Crocodile's voice gradually became smaller, and finally he slowly closed his eyes.

"..."

…

the other side.

After laughing a few times, Barrett finally noticed Nico Robin's existence.

He looked at the little masked man in front of him, and suddenly punched the air, and the strong wind blew away the man's mask and robe.

Is it a little girl?

"ha……"

Barrett grinned and said with a playful smile:

"Has the world government lost its mind? The promised strong man did not meet, but he turned out to be a bunch of trash and brats!"

"never mind……"

Barrett stepped forward slowly, slowly raised his fist, and aimed at the kid.

When Robin saw this, his survival instinct overcame his fear.

She quickly crossed her hands, activated her flower fruit ability, and generated arms everywhere on Barrett's body, trying to restrict his movements.

"Oh? He's a person with abilities!"

"It's a pity that it's too weak."

Barrett just twisted his neck and easily broke away from Robin's arm, even pinching off several of her fingers!

The fruit's power reacted on itself, and three of Robin's fingers were bent and broken!

"Well!"

Robin groaned in pain and fell to his knees, watching Barrett getting closer and closer.

Raising his huge fist slowly, Barrett said with a ferocious smile:

"There is no room for the weak to survive in this sea. It's your fault for appearing here!"

He clenched his fist and punched it down.

Ode - boom!

A violent explosion sounded.

But at the same time, a large amount of gravel swept around and turned into a huge gravel shield, blocking Barrett's punch.

"oh?"

Barrett raised his eyebrows, recognizing the familiar move.

He couldn't help but smile evilly: "I said why the hand feels so familiar, is it you?"

"Ah, it's me."

A gloomy and cold voice came.

The gravel shield shattered, revealing a face with horizontal scars.

who is it?

It's [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile!

A critical moment!

He woke up from his coma, dragged his seriously injured head, and returned to the battlefield!

The raindrops sank into the gravel, mixed with the blood on his face, and fell to the ground.

The appearance can be described as tragic!

In addition, rainwater has restrictions on the existence of Shasha Fruit, allowing others to "catch" Crocodile's true form without using Armament Haki.

The situation is not good!

But even so, Crocodile still stood in front of Nico Robin.

There is no other reason——

"She is still being used by me, so you are not qualified to do anything!"

The gloomy words sounded, and Crocodile suddenly clenched his cigar that had been soaked by the rain.

Uh-huh!

A gravel scimitar swung out and slashed at Barrett's neck.

But what greeted the blade was a hard, armament-colored skin!

Ding!

The gravel scimitar shattered into pieces, and Barrett took the opportunity to punch it down.

Crocodile grabbed Robin and retreated to avoid it. At the same time, he leaned forward and turned into a sandstorm to attack again!

In a flash of lightning, Crocodile once again approached Barrett.

Many years ago, the two of them were indistinguishable, but now their strength has grown more than a little bit, and it is still unclear who will win!

Crocodile condensed a gravel sword, and Barret wrapped his fist with armament-colored domineering.

The two sides are about to collide!

But at this moment, Crocodile suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and a feeling of nausea surged out.

It turned out to be the injury caused by Barrett earlier, and it happened again now!

"Well?!"

Crocodile's movements stiffened for a moment.

In an instant, Barrett's fist moved half a step faster and was about to give Crocodile a fatal blow.

But at the same time, several arms suddenly appeared from all over Barrett's body, trying to restrict Barrett's movements.

It's Nico Robin, risking both arms being broken, trying desperately to delay Barrett's actions!

Click!

The crisp sound of bone breaking came.

Robin's arms drooped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the severe pain, but he also successfully restricted some of Barrett's movements.

"You guys!"

Barrett was extremely angry, and as his strength increased further, he wanted to deal with Crocodile and the brat together.

Between the electric light and flint——

An arrow of power flew from further away and hit Barrett on the side of the shoulder.

The powerful force distorted the landing point of Barrett's attack. Crocodile grabbed Robin and planned to retreat, but was still involved in the aftermath of Barrett's attack.

Swish - boom!

The two of them were thrown straight away and slammed into the ruins not far away.

"Um?"

Barrett scratched his shoulders and glanced into the distance.

Through the holes in dozens of walls, Barrett vaguely noticed the "other party". The person who launched the attack seemed to be very far away from here.

"Ha ha!"

He couldn't hold back his excitement and grinned: "This is a bit interesting..."

…

On the other side, in the ruins.

Crocodile protected Nico Robin, and the two of them lay down in the rubble.

Due to Evan Lindsay's long-range shot, Barrett's attack was not implemented, and the two of them were lucky not to be fatally injured.

Robin endured the severe pain in his arm, worried about Crocodile who was more seriously injured, and quickly turned his head to look.

Crocodile was seen gnashing his teeth, with a few veins popping up on his forehead, vomiting blood and cursing:

"Being rescued by primitive people? How uncomfortable..."

"call!"

Robin let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the familiar complaint.

Fortunately, my thinking and logic remain as before, and everything will be fine.
