Crocodile had just tried to use his sandification ability to erode the barrier, but found that he could not do anything about it. This made his face look a little solemn for the first time.

Moreover, at this time, the shoulder that had just been shot by the seastone was still feeling a dull pain, which made his face even colder.

Is he going to be defeated by a newcomer today?

No, he would never allow this to happen!

He began to look at this newcomer, Dai Die Babaa, seriously and officially regarded him as an opponent.

Crocodile's momentum also began to change a little.

In fact, in the original work, the young and vigorous Crocodile was able to fight the 19-year-old Devil's Heir Barrett to a draw at the age of 20.

For this reason, Crocodile, whose fame soared, was offered a bounty of 81 million Baileys and was invited by the World Government to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He is also the first member of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea to join this government organization. Before the execution of Pirate King Roger, he was already a Seven Warlords of the Sea.

At that time, Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah, and Hawkeye Mihawk were just newcomers, and they probably hadn't even been to the New World.

In the same year that he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the arrogant Crocodile entered the New World to challenge Whitebeard, but was defeated by Whitebeard in an instant and lost a hand.

This made him lose his heart as a strong man for a time, and slowly began to covet external forces such as Pluto.

For this reason, he spent more than ten or twenty years investigating the news and whereabouts of the ancient weapon Pluto. He even became a national hero in Alabasta and slowly planned the information of Pluto, because the Nefertari clan was the descendant of one of the 20 kings and was the focus of the World Government.

So Crocodile didn't dare to blatantly usurp the country.

He also used the"dancing powder" incident to provoke the domestic war in Alabasta little by little, and planned to kill the original king as a hero in the end and obtain information about Pluto.

After being defeated by Straw Hat Luffy, Crocodile awakened the heart of a true strong man again.

He was really"touched" by the willpower of Straw Hat Luffy's repeated sit-ups, and decided to"clean up" and join the protagonist camp, and then strengthen his strength through the crazy filling of Tailda.

So after the Battle of Impel Down and the Battle of Marineford, this sand crocodile once again became a giant crocodile in the New World, and his bounty completely exceeded that of all the vice-captains.

Even powerful vice-captains such as Katakuri, Marco, and Flame Disaster Jin, their bounties can only be compared to Crocodile's farts.

···

Dai Die also felt the change in Crocodile's aura. Was this a change in his will and spirit?

He didn't expect that he could have such a catalytic effect!

"If you had this kind of awareness and attitude from the beginning, maybe I would continue my journey of training and would not provoke you for the time being.

But now, we have to defeat one of them!"

Dai Die will not avoid the battle just because of Crocodile's change in momentum, not to mention that Dai Die now has the advantage of terrain and people.

In short, in this decisive battle, the advantage is mine!

"I was young and full of energy like you back then, but your fighting wisdom is indeed better than mine!"

Crocodile stood up again, the cigar in his mouth still not extinguished, he exhaled a deep puff of smoke, then put the golden poison hook on his chest, ready for battle.

"Old guys and losers like to reminisce about the past. Which kind of guy are you?"

Dai Die crossed his fingers, and the spherical barrier cage turned into a square cage, which became a small space with a length, width and height of 10 meters and a height of 5 meters.

Moreover, Dai Die, who is 226 cm tall, and Crocodile, who is 253 cm tall, can't move much in this confined and narrow space.

Then every move that follows will be a fatal close-range attack.

"It seems that you are very confident in your physical skills!"

Crocodile also knew how much the small space was limiting for him as a natural ability user, and the opponent was a physical skill master who was proficient in Armament Haki.

"I could have trapped you to death, but I want to fight you in a one-on-one duel! Show the same spirit you showed when you fought Whitebeard!"

Dai Die threw away his cloak, revealing his muscular body. The black auspicious cloud scale tattoo on his body turned scarlet, and the seven-star demon pattern on his right arm also emitted a strange green light.

"Is this a fair duel?"

Crocodile smiled contemptuously, touched his shoulder that was still bleeding, and looked at the unsolvable barrier cage. This didn't look like a fair duel at all.

"What? You still want me to unlock the cage? You are so old and still can't see the reality!

If I had lived for decades like you, I could beat you with one hand!"

Dai Die clenched his fist and rushed forward. Putting aside the age of training, it was impossible to talk about fairness in a one-on-one duel.

Moreover, he originally wanted to make Crocodile, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his sharpening stone.

""Dang"

The sound of fists colliding rang out, but Crocodile's golden poison hook still did not deform. After all, this was a special alloy that could collide with the Supreme Blade Night.

‘boom!’

"Your domineering power can actually attack the inside directly!!"

Crocodile felt a piercing pain in his broken hand, but the golden poison hook he had ordered at a high price was not broken.

This golden poison hook was a hard weapon that he had customized from a scientist. He had also purchased devil fruit weapons from the World Government and a large number of seastone products from Doflamingo.

"Didn't you fight the Devil's Heir Barrett? How come you don't know anything!!"

Dai Die's Seven Star Arms stretched out five fingers and swung violently. Five strange sword energies slashed at Crocodile at close range, cutting him into several pieces.

However, Crocodile transformed into elemental sand, occupying this barrier cage, turning this small space into a space of yellow sand.

"it's useless!"

‘Barrier Cage: Shrinking Circle!! '

Barrier blades appeared in both of Dai Die's hands, and he began to attack indiscriminately with the armed color domineering, splitting all the yellow sand.

Moreover, the cage barrier actually shrank again, and with a splash of blood, Crocodile appeared again.

At this moment, his face became more and more ugly, and he could not think of a way to deal with this Dai Die.

The blocking power, defense power, and attack power were so strong that he could not attack Dai Die's body at all. Even if his golden poison hook contained deadly poison, it could not attack Dai Die.

"Crocodile, you who have been staying at the front of the Grand Line for many years have been abandoned by the times!"

Daidie shouted at Crocodile with an expressionless face, and continued to chop at him with the black blade in his hand.

This guy has been hiding in Alabasta for more than ten years, and has wasted his golden time from his twenties to forties on the void Pluto. He is almost useless.

Kaido, the Beast, only came out to fight alone at the age of 21 after the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, while Crocodile was already one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at the age of 20.

Kaido became one of the Four Emperors, while Crocodile is still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he has to be beaten alone by a rookie like Straw Hat Luffy who is just starting out and doesn't have any domineering power.

"Little devil! Shut up!!"

Crocodile raised the golden poison hook angrily and rushed towards the new king of the East China Sea in anger!
