One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

As the instigator, the Santa Dora lizard showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, it stood tall and proud, quite pleased with itself.

A figure flipped off the broad back of the Santa Maria and slowly stepped into the renowned rainforest oasis before them.

The surrounding tourists cast surprised glances, seemingly astonished by the newcomer's identity. A few commotions arose in the crowd; some left uneasily, while others stood and watched.

Yang Ming looked up and saw the magnificent casino located in the center of the Rainland Oasis, its banana crocodile exterior exuding an air of extravagance.

He stood still, his Observation Haki spreading outwards.

With the support of multiple abilities, Yang Ming's mental strength is now far beyond what it used to be, and the range of his Observation Haki is also far beyond that of ordinary people. Although he has not been able to produce special effects such as predicting the future, he can still dominate the martial arts world simply by covering a radius of 500 meters.

This area of ​​500 meters naturally includes the underground area.

That's why Yang Ming easily located the headquarters of Baroque Works, which was right beneath the casino in front of him.

Yang Ming had no intention of playing any cat-and-mouse games. As a Marine Admiral, he was even a level above Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he didn't need to go through all the trouble of fighting off small fry before finally meeting Crocodile.

With his five fingers clenched into a fist, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously wrapped around his right hand, Yang Ming slammed down onto the ground with an unparalleled momentum.

"My power is unmatched!"

As the arrogant voice spread, the domineering power reached deep into the earth.

A terrifying force spread outwards along the ground, creating a massive earthquake that affected the entire rain-covered oasis. Amidst the panicked screams of the surrounding tourists, the magnificent casino in front of them began to sway precariously, with terrifying cracks appearing on the solid walls, shaking off endless dust and numerous rubble.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

The tourists and staff inside the casino naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. They rushed out of the casino one after another. Once they were all out, the casino, which embodied countless efforts of Crocodile, collapsed with a roar and turned into dust.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

When Yang Ming failed to smash the casino with one punch, ordinary people might have thought that even a high-ranking admiral of the Navy Headquarters was nothing special.

Only a powerful being like Crocodile could truly appreciate Yang Ming's strength.

The ability to control one's strength with perfect balance and ease is a level that few can achieve.

But Yang Ming has done it.

Moreover, judging from his relaxed and at ease demeanor, he clearly still had some energy left and did not exert his full strength.

The members of Baroque Works were completely dumbfounded.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned, even the vice president Nicole Robin was no exception.

In a daze, Nico Robin recalled the wonderful time she spent living in the Flower Kingdom of the West Sea two years ago. At that time, Yang Ming was not as tall and mighty as he is now. He looked like a handsome little brother next door. Now, he has the demeanor of a Marine Admiral. Every move he makes is full of masculinity, which stirs the nerves of countless people.

Suppressing her distracting thoughts, Nico Robin straightened her beret and subconsciously turned to look at Crocodile, saying:

"Boss, what should we do now...?"

The last "okay" was not uttered, because Nicole Robin suddenly realized that the boss's chair was already empty.

Nicole Robin, having spent years in hiding, had developed extremely keen senses and reacted immediately:

Crocodile has escaped!

Is it shameful for a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to run away?

If facing an opponent of equal strength, Crocodile would confidently guarantee that he would be the fiercest one.

Among the seven great pirates of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, if a ranking were to be made, Crocodile would claim to be second, and no one could challenge him for that title.

In the Alabasta Kingdom, a desert and Gobi-like terrain, Crocodile, with the advantage of his home field, is even confident that he can go toe-to-toe with Hawkeye Mihawk, and may even have a chance to compete for the number one spot.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the difference in strength between the two sides is not too great.

Before Yang Ming arrived at the Rainland Oasis, Crocodile originally thought that the odds of victory or defeat were at least 40/60, with him at 40% and Yang Ming at 60%, so there was still a chance to fight back.

But the moment Crocodile saw Yang Ming make his move, his composure crumbled instantly.

He didn't want any of the plans to swallow up the Kingdom of Alabasta, the Baroque Works he had painstakingly built, or the historical inscriptions!

Crocodile is confident he can make a comeback as long as he survives and escapes from here.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Dota. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

Yang Ming glanced quickly at the lottery wheel that appeared out of the corner of his eye. It had three categories of prizes: hero skins, hero skills, and equipment items.

Hero Skins: Magic Crystal, Spirit Forest, Raging Thunder...

Hero Skills: Time Barrier, Dragon Bloodline, Black Hole...

Equipment and items: Archangel's Sword, Crusader's Shield, Dragon Slayer Sword...

【Wild Heart】: Passive skill, increases the attack speed of friendly units within 1000 meters by 40%.

This passive skill is comparable to a legion-level skill, especially given Yang Ming's current status, which allows him to maximize its effectiveness.

Crocodile transformed into sand and swiftly traversed the desert, thinking he could escape the eyes of others, but he could not hide from Yang Ming's Observation Haki search.

Having discerned Crocodile's movements, Yang Ming, without turning his head, instructed Tina and the other generals who had followed him:

"The core members of the Baroque Works are all in the underground meeting hall. I will try my best to capture them alive. Some of them are very useful to me."

r.2 Bon Clay possesses the Imitation Fruit ability, similar to that of Crescent Moon Hunter Caterina Devon. Naturally, such a person should be kept under my control.

R.3 Gardino is a user of the Wax-Wax Fruit. His partner, ISS. Goldenweek Mariano, is not a Devil Fruit user, but he has the ability to control other people's emotions through the paint on his palette.

These two seemingly unremarkable abilities, if combined with other people, would transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

For example, Sugar, one of the former executives of the Don Quixote family, possessed the Hobby-Hobby Fruit. Whenever he touched it, the creatures he touched would turn into toys, and all memories of him by other people in the world would be completely erased. However, physical records such as photographs, written records, and statues would not be lost.

If these three were to team up, and using the three-eyed Den Den Mushi created by Yang Ming as a medium, with the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan greatly amplified, it wouldn't be impossible to create a new Infinite Tsukuyomi version of One Piece.

Since Doflamingo's death, Sugar has been wandering around with the remnants of the Donquixote Family, Trafalgar Law, Buffalo, and Baby-5, and later took refuge under Snack, one of the Four Sweet Commanders.

However, their good fortune was short-lived. Due to the story of Yang Ming's three provocations of Snag spreading across the seas, Snag was stripped of his title as one of the Four Sweet Commanders by Big Mom Charlotte Linlin. The four remaining members of the Donquixote Family were once again adrift at sea, now drifting near the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

As early as when Yang Ming first created the Three-Eyed Den Den Mushi, he had the intention to experiment with the possibility of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

However, due to his own mental strength not being able to keep up at the time, he was unable to use Tsukuyomi for a long time, so the plan was delayed and has been shelved until now.

Now that the Infinite Tsukuyomi project seems to have a chance to be restarted, Yang Ming naturally wouldn't let it go.

Although Tina and the others did not understand Yang Ming's plan, they were the most loyal executors and would carry it out strictly to ensure that the core members of the Baroque Works were wiped out in one fell swoop.

After finishing his tasks, Yang Ming rushed off in the direction Crocodile would take him.

shave!

With a sudden stomp of his foot, Yang Ming was nowhere to be seen.

This is one of the six naval skills that all petty officers at the Navy Headquarters must learn. Ordinary petty officers can only achieve the standard 100-meter distance in four seconds, but Yang Ming, with the combination of various skills, has already far exceeded 400 meters per second, making him faster than a bullet.

All the people saw was a fleeting shadow that flew past under the setting sun, stirring up clouds of dust.

"Lightning Release! Kirin!"

Suddenly, a dark cloud covered the sky. Yang Ming pointed to the sky, and a bolt of lightning, obeying Yang Ming's command, suddenly descended from the sky.

Two hundred million volts of thunder transformed into a ferocious, baring-fanged Qilin in mid-air, crashing down viciously into a designated area.

Lightning pierced through the layers of desert, reaching Crocodile's hiding place.

Chapter 285 I don't care what people in this world say about me, I just want to act according to my beliefs.

In this desert where rain-fed oases meet the desert, oases accompany yellow sand, birds dance to the sound of camel bells, and extreme temperatures are only a step away from normal temperatures, yet they represent a world apart.

The sand dunes in the desert have clear outlines and distinct layers, rising and falling in layers like surging waves. The ridge lines are smooth and flowing, the sand slopes on the windward side are like flowing water, and the sand on the leeward side is like flowing sand.

The sand, exposed to the sun all day, emitted billowing heat. If you took off your shoes and stepped on it barefoot, you would soon get blisters from the heat. The high temperature and heat distorted the air, projecting distant scenes and gradually forming the outline of a mirage.

"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble..."

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded.

The once cloudless sky was suddenly swept by a fierce wind, which quickly turned the sky into a thick cloud cover. Lightning flashed and thunder roared through the clouds. Beneath the forked, pale lightning bolts, bolts as thick as buckets of lightning fell from the sky, transforming in mid-air into a ferocious, menacing Qilin creature with bared fangs and claws, exuding a terrifying aura.

A sudden gust of wind whipped up the sand dunes, causing them to undulate violently. For a moment, the sky darkened, and sand and stones flew everywhere, with only the roar of the wind echoing across the heavens.

Yellow sand filled the sky, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

The sand and gravel covering the earth suddenly surged, seemingly unwilling to be outdone, gathering thousands of grains of sand to form a sand arm that rose into the sky like the arm of a giant, suddenly opening its five fingers to meet the thunderous Qilin descending from the sky.

"boom!"

As the sand and lightning collided, sparks flew and sand and gravel flew everywhere.

If you look closely, you might even discover that the scattered sand and gravel are actually the prototypes of glass formed by the interaction with lightning, with the lightning reflected on the textured surface.

As the endless yellow sand gradually subsided, a whirlwind suddenly rose above the desert, and endless sand and stones gathered from all directions, gradually forming a human shape, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle.

Crocodile placed his right hand on the golden hook in his left hand, and under the pretense of moving his wrist joint, he secretly activated the mechanism in the golden hook, applying the scorpion venom hidden inside to the hook. He then raised his eyes and stared at the pure white figure floating in the sky.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his gleaming white teeth clenched tightly around his cigar, snapping it in two before spitting it out. Clearly, Crocodile's inner turmoil was far from the calm he appeared to be, and he said in a harsh voice:

"General Shura, what do you mean by this?"

"I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, appointed by the World Government. I have shed blood and been wounded for the World Government. I want to see the Five Elders and accuse you. You are disrupting the balance of the world and destroying the order of the Grand Line!"

"If you continue to attack me, and I die here, all the Seven Warlords of the Sea will feel extremely uneasy, and who knows what the consequences will be!"

Crocodile, a seasoned warrior, was not naive enough to believe that he could sway the resolve of a Marine Admiral with his silver tongue. He secretly activated his Devil Fruit power.

As a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit user, Crocodile is perfectly suited to desert terrain, where the effects and range of any skill he unleashes are greatly enhanced, significantly boosting his combat power.

Don't be fooled by his current bounty of only 8100 million Berries, which is even less than that of the rising supernova Fire Fist Ace. Keep in mind that this was his bounty when he first joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea many years ago.

Once a pirate joins the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his bounty will no longer change, and the bounty system will be temporarily suspended, symbolizing a certain degree of concession from the World Government.

Furthermore, Crocodile is different from Gecko Moria.

As a Supernova who debuted in the same generation, Crocodile's experience was very similar to that of Gecko Moria. Both challenged the emperors of the old era and both suffered defeats. However, Crocodile did not become as despondent as Gecko Moria. Even when he was living in seclusion in the Alabasta Kingdom, he continued to study and develop his Devil Fruit ability.

As he uttered his last word, he suddenly brandished the golden hook.

"Endless! Crescent-shaped dunes!"

Crocodile swung his arm violently, unleashing a crescent-shaped sand blade that shot skyward.

As he made this move, the desert beneath his feet began to boil, and a series of sand blades appeared one after another, densely packed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, turning into an overwhelming offensive.

If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably be terrified.
