One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Although it sounds a bit nonsense, it is undeniable that what Lindsay said is indeed the "answer".

-Answers to solve problems.

What appears in front of everyone is a replicating robot created by the ancient machine "Copying and Cloning Machine" by collecting the bloodline factors of everyone.

Possessing the "body" of [Kizaru] Porusalino and the "ability" of [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile at the same time!

Vegapunk named it: Ancient Robot No. 1, referred to as No. A-1.

According to what Vegapunk said before, A-1 is not an "independent individual", and its signal is connected to the body of the ancient machine.

Once a battle breaks out with A-1, the battle data will be transmitted through signals and recorded by the ancient machine's body for further learning and evolution.

God knows how far that ancient machine will learn!

Therefore, Crocodile also understood that the safest way was to defeat No. A-1 with "one person" and "an appropriate amount" of power.

No more, no less, just "a little bit" beyond No. A-1.

But in order to master this scale, further targeted exploration is needed.

So he could only stir up a sandstorm and fight with A-1, and the two sides were neck and neck for a while.

The rest of the people had already landed on a high platform not far away and began to watch the battle.

…

The situation is delicate.

Although Crocodile and No. A-1 are both users with the Shasha Fruit ability, there is one thing that clearly distinguishes them.

Crocodile is "Crocodale";

No. A-1 is "Kizaru".

Their completely different personalities make their fighting styles very different!

Crocodile's style of play is of a broad-based approach.

Proficient in using the natural devil fruit's abilities, you can crush your opponents with absolute power!

An overwhelming sandstorm swept in, mixed with huge gravel scimitars, always ready to take away the target's life.

This is not Crocodile's full strength.

Rustling Fruit Erosion Reincarnation - Once this technique is used, it can suck out all the moisture around it, turning everything around it into a dry and dead place.

However, they are now in the Future Research Institute, and the genuine [Kizaru] is missing from the outside world, so it is inconvenient to use this trick.

Compared with the genuine rustling fruit ability users, the way A-1 uses the rustling fruit is very "Kizaru".

Concentrate your strength on one point.

The gravel condenses into "spear" or even "flying needle", which shuttles back and forth in the sandstorm at extremely fast speeds, like lasers.

At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but when the power of the attack explodes at the end, it is as powerful as a heavy artillery!

…

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Two completely different "sandstorms" shuttled back and forth in mid-air.

A-1 took several turns to attack, gradually forcing Crocodile into a corner.

He pouted and said faintly: "I caught you..."

Five fingers stretched out, and a trickle of gravel burst out from the fingertips, sweeping towards Crocodile.

Crocodile has already noticed the key.

He held a cigar in his mouth and rushed towards No. A-1, showing no intention of evading.

Boo hoo hoo…

The trickle of gravel arrived in front of Crocodile, but did not hit his body. Instead, it penetrated into the hole that had been elementalized in advance and passed through the sand-turned body.

"really--"

Crocodile raised his eyebrows, immediately got close to No. A-1, and said quietly:

"A guy whose body is 'light' should never care about the details of elementalization, right?"

"Use local elements to ensure overall mobility..."

"Things like 'sand' are more fun than 'light'!"

Uh-huh!

The gravel scimitar stabs out!

…

Seeing this scene, Lindsay and Vegapunk on the high platform started discussing again.

Lindsay sat cross-legged on the ground and grinned: "It's rare to see 'the same ability' fighting!"

"Because it doesn't work according to common sense!"

Vegapunk also became excited, "Each Devil Fruit is unique, and the next one must appear only after the person with the ability dies!"

"And the current situation proves that if combined with the blood factor theory, the ability of the Devil Fruit can be copied!"

"..."

"Well……"

Lindsay rubbed her chin and sighed: "But the same ability can be used in different ways."

For example: Crocodile and A-1 not far away.

Bega Punk nodded, "The taste of fruits will be different depending on where they are produced. Is it similar?"

"Or to be more specific -"

Combining his own practical experience, Lindsay added: “The key lies in ‘imagination’.”

Vegapunk heard the interesting theory and quickly asked, "Please tell me!"

Lindsay gestured:

"Everyone is an independent individual and has a unique mind."

"The 'imagination' born from thinking is one of the sources of power of Devil Fruit."

"From this perspective, even the same Devil Fruit ability will be affected by different imaginations, resulting in completely different usage styles."

"..."

After hearing this, Bega Punk couldn't help but lower his head in thought.

"Imagination is something that cannot be seen or touched, so it is very troublesome to study..."

"etc?"

Vegapunk was stunned.

"Intangible things...shadows...imagination...cognition..."

"Imagination is something similar to shadow?"

"The Shadow Fruit can control shadows, but who can control imagination!?"

"..."

For a time, Vegapunk thought of many things.

However, the current situation was urgent and did not allow him to study quietly.

An angry roar came from the mid-air not far away.

"You trash!"

…

Crocodile's eyeballs were bloodshot and he put a little more force on his arms.

But even so, his gravel scimitar still couldn't make any progress!

Because there was an identical blade on the path of the gravel scimitar, and the two sides collided.

Click!

The two gravel scimitars were locked in a stalemate.

Crocodile didn't expect that the replicating robot in front of him would "replicate" so fast, and it would already begin to imitate his tricks!

That feeling is simply like...

Crocodile turned his eyes and looked at Alvin Lindsay on the high platform.

"..."

"No."

The creations of ancient machines only made him unhappy. They were far less permeable than the learning ability of primitive people!

"Hehehehe, it's just a machine..."

Crocodile rolled up a sandstorm, blocking A-1's sight.

He took the opportunity to escape and swept away the people on the high platform with a sandstorm, leading them to evacuate quickly.

"I'm not in the mood to show my cards to a machine."

Crocodile raised his eyebrows and smiled gloomily: "There's no point in getting entangled with it. Let's destroy the ancient machine itself!"

"..."

The plan is reasonable and no one will object to it.

Vegapunk has also repeatedly emphasized that in order to avoid unknown risks, several "key combat forces" try not to fight replica robots.

…

Everyone ran wildly, while avoiding the search of No. A-1, and gradually approached the core area of ​​the Future Research Institute.

And the moment he turned a corner——

call out!

The dazzling light penetrated the far wall from far to near, and finally hit the wall in front of everyone.

The smoke dispersed, revealing a bearded face wearing sunglasses.

"Oh, what a scary guy..."

Kizaru raised his head, looked around, and saw Begapunk's big head, as well as Lindsay and others.

"Dr Vegapunk, long time no see!"

"Are you with the [Devil]? It's so dangerous..."

"..."

Seeing the visitor, Bega Punk's face darkened.

Compared to copying robots, Vegapunk actually didn't want to meet his old friend.

From the navy's standpoint, there is no way Kizaru would allow Vegapunk's next action!

Just as Vegapunk was about to speak, a black shadow chased after him, and then he punched hard.

Ode!

The huge fist was about to hit Kizaru, but Kizaru easily dodged it.

He jumped up high and landed firmly on the black shadow's shoulder, pouting and saying slowly:

"It's been a busy day. Let's talk about old times later..."

Golden light gathered and illuminated the black shadow's face.

It's "Krokdal"!

There are two dark green ghost horns on the head, and the body is tall and burly, showing a ferocious killing intent.

What would happen if [Sand Crocodile] eats "The Human Fruit Phantom Beast Demonic Form"?

The ancient replicating robot No. A-2 breaks into the battlefield!
