Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

To put it bluntly, both the "Sweet Commanders" of the BIM MOM Pirates and the "Three Disasters" of the Beasts Pirates are fully capable of serving as "Shichibukai" (Seven Warlords of the Sea), and their strength far surpasses that of most of the Shichibukai members.

Crocodile is a user of the "Sand-Sand Fruit". Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his strength is not at the very bottom, but it is definitely not among the top either.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he wasn't confident he could defeat the "Sweethearts" or the "Three Disasters," while his opponent, Wood, was already taking on two Yonko. Considering all that, he realized he was no match for them.

"Even if I'm no match for him, I won't cooperate with anyone, especially not someone like you."

Although he understood the gap in strength between himself and Wood, Crocodile still firmly refused to cooperate with Doflamingo.

Enraged by his repeated rejections, Doflamingo the Tenyasha immediately decided to eliminate Crocodile in front of him.

"Since you refuse to cooperate, then I'll just kill you first!"

To be honest, the fact that Doflamingo would even consider Crocodile, a washed-up Shichibukai, is already quite a show of respect.

If it weren't for admiring Crocodile's past ambitions in building a kingdom, which, like his own, demonstrated considerable strength and skill, Doflamingo wouldn't have given him a second glance.

Didn't he see the long-necked fat otaku next to him? Although he is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo doesn't even bother to look at him?

Upon seeing Crocodile and Doflamingo, both members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they immediately engaged in a round of mutual flattery before launching into a fierce battle, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Feeling humiliated by being left out, and being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea with a strong sense of pride, Gecko Moria pulled out a large pair of scissors from his crotch and shouted, "You bastards, we'll cut off all your shadows and turn them into zombies!"

The battle between the three Shichibukai naturally caused quite a stir, and the surrounding marines and pirates were instantly swept away by the shockwaves from their fight.

The battle between the three quickly revealed that, even though they were all members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the difference in their strength was still quite significant.

Doflamingo is a powerful figure who has mastered all three types of Haki. He possesses a high level of both Observation Haki and Armament Haki, and he has even awakened his Devil Fruit. Even among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is among the top tier of strength.

Although Crocodile's domineering aura wasn't great, he was still a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and a rather powerful one at that, the "Sand-Sand Fruit," so he wasn't at a significant disadvantage at the moment.

Gecko Moria, who has spent so many years hiding on Thriller Bark, completely lost his fighting spirit, and become a shut-in, focusing on researching zombie figurines, is much weaker than Doflamingo and Crocodile.

The battle had barely begun when Moria's poorly mastered Armament Haki was already broken by Doflamingo's threads and Crocodile's sand blades.

Because he wasn't a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, his obese body had already developed numerous wounds after just a few hours of illumination.

Perona, holding a parasol, was about to unleash a "Negative Ghost" attack on Crocodile and Doflamingo, rendering the two renowned Shichibukai useless, when Doflamingo's Observation Haki predicted it first and launched a counterattack in advance.

The threads covered in Armament Haki turned into black steel wires, cutting through the ground at an astonishing speed. Just as they were about to melt Perona's body, a handsome swordsman with three long swords at his waist suddenly appeared.

He then used a long, blue sword to block Doflamingo's Armament Haki threads.

The three-sword style swordsman who suddenly appeared could not possibly be some green-haired, directionally challenged person, but rather a "naval officer" dressed in a naval uniform and wearing a baseball cap.

"Perona, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to go back to the ship and wait?"

Is this a battle you can participate in? Do you think you're safe just because you've entrusted your body to Ruth and are in a spirit form?

This is Marine Headquarters, and our opponent is the Whitebeard Pirates. There are as many guys here as you could possibly need for Armament Haki!

The sudden appearance of the Marine soldiers obviously attracted the attention of the three Shichibukai present. After all, through their previous encounters, both Crocodile and Gecko Moria had fully experienced Doflamingo's strength.

And now, the threads of Armament Haki wrapped around it have been so easily blocked. Even a fool would know that the opponent is definitely not an ordinary Marine.

Judging from the uniform the other party was wearing, his rank should only be that of a naval lieutenant, and in this battlefield, a naval officer of this rank would be considered cannon fodder.

Doflamingo and his crew didn't believe a Marine lieutenant possessed such strength, so the only possibility was that the other party was in disguise.

"Hey everyone, how have you been? I think I heard you guys talking about me, so I came over."

Chapter 462 The Challenge of the World's Greatest Swordsman!

With their heads slightly raised, wearing baseball caps, Doflamingo and Crocodile almost instinctively jumped back in an instant upon seeing that familiar face, creating a safe distance between themselves and Wood.

The entire ocean knows that the ancient weapon—Wood—is one of the world's top swordsmen. When fighting such a guy, maintaining a safe distance is the best course of action.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your reactions are making me a little sad."

We're all acquaintances, and I've traveled a long way to see you, yet you're all so wary of me.

Just as Wood was speaking to Doflamingo and Crocodile, who were looking at him warily, a figure secretly slipped up behind him.

Wood, an ancient weapon, is one of the strongest beings on the sea. If we could obtain his shadow, not only would rebuilding our power be possible, but it wouldn't be impossible to avenge our grudge against Kaido of the Beasts from over twenty years ago.

"Lord Moriah, no..."

"Lanjiao·Kaitiao!"

Seeing Moria holding a large pair of scissors, trying to sneak up behind Wood and cut off his shadow, Perona quickly shouted to stop him.

However, just as she issued her warning, Wood, who had already sensed Moria's actions using his Observation Haki, turned around and unleashed a blue slash.

The powerful slash transformed into a large blue bird in mid-air, easily breaking through Moria's sparse Armament Haki and leaving a deep gash on his chest, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out instantly.

The enormous body, several meters tall, flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and slid a very long distance on the ground.

One of the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea, the former ruler of Thriller Bark, was kicked dozens of meters away and could not stand up again, losing his fighting spirit.

This is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a reputable pirate on the high seas, not some nameless extra or nobody.

Although Gecko Moria did suffer many injuries during his battles with Doflamingo and Crocodile, those injuries did not affect his mobility.

But now, after being kicked by a "Storm Kick" that most naval admirals would use, he has collapsed to the ground and can't get up.

"I hate it when people stand behind me without saying a word, and you're holding such a big pair of scissors, what are you trying to do to this handsome guy?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you were once Perona's benefactor, and that she now works for our weapons company, she would have used my knife instead of her foot."

Seeing Moria already unconscious, Wood complained as he put away Moria's large scissors. Unfortunately, Moria, whose eyes were rolling back, obviously couldn't hear what he was saying.

Having witnessed everything, Doflamingo and Crocodile now looked at Wood with significantly increased wariness.

They were well aware that the long-necked fat guy was weak, but even if the opponent was weak, it wouldn't be something they could do in a short time, even if they wanted to take down Moria.

But even with such a powerful Moonlight Moria, he couldn't withstand a single move from Wood!

So here's the question: Gecko Moria, who was weaker than them but only slightly weaker, was defeated in one move. How many moves could they withstand from their opponent?

"Five colored thread!"

"Desert sword!"

Doflamingo and Crocodile, who had previously fought to the death and vowed never to join forces, exchanged a glance and then simultaneously used one of their strongest techniques on Wood!

Five thin threads, drawn from his fingers, sliced ​​through the air and left five deep cuts on the ground like a broken cake, before hurtling towards Wood!

On the other side, Crocodile, whose arm had turned into yellow sand, swung it downwards, and a sword aura made entirely of yellow sand sliced ​​through the ground and shot out along Wood.

Wherever the sword energy of the yellow sand passed, whether pirates or marines, their bodies were instantly drained of moisture, turning them into lifeless, dried corpses.

The situation on Doflamingo's side was similar. Five sharp, straight threads sliced ​​through the ground as easily as cutting tofu, cutting all the creatures in their path to pieces!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itachi-ryu!"

Seeing the five-colored silk threads and the desert sword sweeping towards him at the same time, Wood gripped the Imperial Arms "Winter Knight" that he had just acquired. Then, in the next second, a slash carrying a whirlwind flew out of the long sword in Wood's hand.

"boom------!"

A tremendous explosion erupted from the center of the two sides. The three attacks shattered instantly upon impact, and the ground within a radius of several hundred meters shook violently as if subjected to a severe shock, cracking open with numerous spiderweb-like fissures.

Thick sandstorms instantly filled the surroundings. Although visibility was extremely poor due to the sandstorm, the people around could still vaguely see Wood, dressed in a naval soldier's uniform, plunge into the sandstorm. Soon, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard from within the sandstorm.

An ordinary person might feel that the visibility is extremely poor due to the surrounding sandstorm, making it impossible to take action. However, this is not a problem at all for Wood, Doflamingo, and Crocodile.

Both Wood and Doflamingo possess extremely strong Observation Haki, so whether they are visible to the naked eye or not has no effect on them.

As for Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he should at least have mastered Observation Haki and Armament Haki, otherwise it would be completely unreasonable.

However, Crocodile did not use "Haki" at all when fighting the Straw Hat crew. It is said that the author of One Piece had not yet left any plot holes at that time, so he could not fill them in later. So let's just assume that he could use it here.

Even if Crocodile doesn't know how to use Armament Haki or Observation Haki, or even if his mastery of Haki is quite shallow, he is still completely unaffected by the surrounding sandstorm.

Just kidding, Crocodile is a sandman who ate the Logia-type "Sand-Sand Fruit". It would be hilarious if sand got into his eyes.

In this current environment, not only will it not have any impact on Crocodile, but it will even make him more comfortable.

Crocodile, now in his elemental form, dissipated into the air and merged with the surrounding dust. When he peeked out again, his figure appeared behind Wood without warning and swung his golden hook toward Wood's neck!

"Ding------!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the sand. As Crocodile's golden hook fell, Wood, who remained standing without even turning his head, already gripped a longsword in his left hand and used the blade to accurately block Crocodile's hook.

"Does that mean all of you 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' like to resort to attacks from behind?"

Unfortunately, I'm neither a pretty girl nor a gay man, so I don't like this awful position, therefore..."

As soon as Wood finished speaking, Crocodile's "Heavenly Desolation" had already completed a counterattack. With an absolute advantage in strength, Crocodile's body was also in a backward posture, and his chest was wide open.

As Wood quickly turned around, his right hand, "Winter Knight," slashed down. Crocodile, who was about to transform into his elemental form, saw the blue longsword in Wood's right hand turn from blue to black in an instant, and his expression immediately showed astonishment.

The black longsword transformed into a black streak that sliced ​​through the air. When Crocodile saw Wood's astonishing speed in swinging the sword, he knew that he wouldn't have enough time to use his elemental powers to escape!

Since there is no way to avoid it, the only option left is to block it head-on!

As Krakucchal's aura erupted, his chest, coated with Armament Haki, instantly appeared as if it were plated with a layer of black metal.

"You've got guts! I've really never seen many guys on the entire ocean who would dare to take my slash head-on with their bodies!"

Upon hearing what Wood said, Crocodile's scarred face twitched. He wanted to say that it wasn't that he wanted to tough it out, but that he had no other choice but to tough it out.

The fat guy who used his Armament Haki to block Wood's slash is now unconscious and lying there. Although Crocodile felt that his Armament Haki was a bit stronger than Moria's, it was still only slightly stronger.

Besides, the Wood we're using now isn't some Navy Type 6, but a damn famous sword, and a heavily armed "black sword" at that!

Are the swordsman's slashes using the "black sword" so easy to block?
