Before Robin could answer, a flash of crimson suddenly crossed Uchiha Hikaru's eyes.
In an instant, Nicole Robin trembled as if struck by lightning.
In her field of vision, a jet-black dart pattern spun rapidly and expanded infinitely.
Immediately afterwards, a crimson giant stood in mid-air, wielding a crimson samurai sword that seemed to cut across the sky, and slashed down at her.
The excruciating pain of her body being shattered instantly drained all her thoughts, leaving her consciousness blank.
Robin's legs gave way, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
The cold floor tiles stimulated her senses, causing the illusory blood-red vision before her eyes to slowly fade away.
"I...I'm not dead?"
She was breathing heavily, her fingertips trembling slightly, and she murmured blankly.
The real sense of impending death caused her chest to heave violently, and the intense fear in her eyes overshadowed her initial confidence.
Once her vision was completely clear, the red-eyed girl had already walked up to her and was looking down at her.
"Of course."
Uchiha Hikaru spoke calmly, responding to Robin's subconscious question.
“My brother said you were still useful, so I didn’t originally intend to do anything.”
That scene just now was undoubtedly just a genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
If she hadn't been startled by the sight of arms suddenly growing out of her body, she wouldn't have opened her eyes immediately.
"I lost."
His violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, but the shock in Robin's eyes remained undiminished.
In a single glance, the other party didn't even raise their hand.
With just one glance, she lost all power to resist.
In other words, the other party didn't intend to kill her, otherwise...
After Robin calmed down, he stood up and obediently played the role of "captive".
Having wandered alone for many years, she has also acquired considerable wisdom for survival.
Crocodile needs her knowledge.
According to the girl, the boy, who is suspected to be her brother, also thought she was "useful".
So no matter who wins or loses next, her life is not in danger.
Nicole Robin herself was unaware of it.
She had previously firmly believed that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would win, but now she felt that the ongoing battle was uncertain.
Seeing Robin surrender, Uchiha Hikaru also shifted his gaze back to the center of the battle.
"What kind of ability is this..."
Crocodile frowned deeply.
The intense darkness undoubtedly overturned his previous conjectures about the storm-related Devil Fruit abilities.
But what Devil Fruit ability can simultaneously manifest both storms and darkness?
Could it be a mythical beast?
He has clearly fallen into the same cognitive trap as Blackbeard.
And there's an even more crucial point...
This kid doesn't seem to be what he initially thought. He's an unknown, inexperienced newcomer who dares to dream of beheading a Shichibukai and making a name for himself using his Logia-type abilities!
In terms of Devil Fruit power alone, that deep darkness was comparable to his Sand-Sand Fruit!
Chapter 113 Crocodile: What kind of sea cucumber is that?
"How could someone like you be unknown!"
"Krocdale asked in a cold voice."
Those who can be called strong on this vast sea have all been tempered and risen step by step through countless life-and-death battles.
The sudden appearance of an opponent that even he found difficult to deal with, without any prior information about this person on the high seas, was so bizarre as to defy common sense.
Even the group of sea monsters that landed in Alabasta a few days ago and were personally wiped out by him, had a huge amount of money involved.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract his attention.
"After today's battle, this sea will surely remember my name."
Shiranui Sho gave a flamboyant smile and spoke loudly.
"I don't know how high the sky is!"
Upon hearing this, Crocodile's face turned ashen.
Without a doubt, they intend to make a name for themselves by stepping on him!
A violent glint flashed in his eyes, and a murderous aura permeated the air.
"Your Devil Fruit power is indeed well-mastered, but don't forget where you are..."
Crocodile slowly raised his right hand, and fine yellow sand swirled and churned between his fingers.
The ground of the "Rain Banquet" casino began to tremble slightly, as if an endless sea of sand was surging and lurking deep underground.
Saint Tin Island, the main territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta, is almost entirely covered by boundless desert, except for narrow rivers and scattered towns and oases.
Standing on this barren land, his Devil Fruit abilities will be enhanced to the greatest extent!
How could we lose with home advantage?
Moreover...
"Kid, I bet you've never even heard of the word 'domineering' before?"
Krocdale curled his lips into a disdainful smile.
Having spent so long in the amusement park, he only encountered small fish and shrimp, and there were almost no situations where he needed to give his all.
Most enemies can be easily crushed by his Devil Fruit powers alone!
For him, Armament Haki was a complete waste of his talents to deal with these insignificant people.
But without a doubt, he certainly possesses a power called "Overbearing Aura"!
As for the young boy in front of us who looks quite young...
Crocodile judged that Shiranui Sho probably didn't understand Haki.
Otherwise, in the previous exchanges, he should have used Armament Haki against this Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
"Domineering..."
Shiranui Sou narrowed her eyes slightly.
He had indeed never come into contact with this unique power in the world, and the reason was simple.
Firstly, his sphere of influence is in Alabasta, but there is no powerful figure with a domineering presence in Alabasta.
Secondly, after distributing his training time equally among the ninja system, Devil Fruit abilities, and Shinigami system, he had very little time left.
The staff is used to suppress natural-type ability users.
But that doesn't mean he's helpless.
The Dark-Dark Fruit's power, and its direct attacks on spirits, cannot be neutralized by Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
In addition, the Water Release ninjutsu is enough for a user of the Sand-Sand Fruit to eat a whole pot.
Crocodile glanced at the two people in the distance during a lull in the battle.
The battle was at a stalemate, and he had no time to pay attention.
Seeing Uchiha Hikaru and Nico Robin standing together peacefully, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Did Nicole Robin... subdue their companion?"
Not bad, it's quite efficient.
Crocdale arrived at a conclusion that was completely contrary to the facts.
His inherent competitiveness prevented him from defeating opponents faster than his subordinates.
Noticing that Nico Robin was quite far from the battlefield, he no longer hesitated and unleashed his Devil Fruit power.
He flicked his sleeve and slammed his right hand heavily onto the ground.
The casino floor tiles suddenly cracked, and the yellow sand accumulated underground surged out like a tidal wave.
"Corruption and Reincarnation!!"
The cracked paving stones gradually turned into sand, and the desolate power that eroded all life spread wildly outwards from Crocodile as its origin.
"Dark acupoints!!"
Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed, and she activated her ability without backing down.
This is indeed a desert, but darkness is everywhere!
Boundless, deep black smoke billowed from beneath his feet, transforming into an ever-expanding, pitch-black abyss that collided head-on with the power of the yellow sand!
Darkness and yellow sand, engulfing and turning into desert.
Two completely different terrifying forces clashed violently.
After a moment of stalemate, Crocodile's expression gradually became serious.
He could feel that the ability he was so proud of was gradually being forced back by the deep darkness!
In contrast, Shiranui Sou had a faint smile on her lips.
The Dark-Dark Fruit is known as the most ferocious Logia-type Devil Fruit, and that reputation is well-deserved.
Given that the two have developed their Devil Fruit abilities to a similar degree, his Dark-Dark Fruit cannot possibly lose to Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit!
“Hey, Crocodile.”
Shiranui Sho spoke again, extending an invitation, "Your dream is to become Hai'ai Sangjun..."
“Dreams…”
Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rather than calling it a vague and ethereal dream, it would be more accurate to describe it as a boundless ambition buried deep in one's heart.
Becoming a sea monster is his greatest ambition!
The reason he remained hidden in Alabasta was not because he truly coveted the country.
This is just a stepping stone; his ultimate goal is still the Great Sea Route.
He...is going to be king of the sea!!
only……
He had never confided a word of this ambition to anyone in Baroque Works, so how did this brat know it?
“I am interested in Haixi’s recovery. Would you like to join my ranks? I will also help you become king.”
Shiranui Sou's tone was flat and emotionless.
Hailou is not a name, but the name of many sea creatures in this vast ocean. It is not his.
After all, he wasn't a seaman, so he wasn't interested.
If Crocodile is willing to pledge allegiance, it is imperative to support him as a future leader.
"Kid, what are you talking about?!"
Crocodile's face contorted with rage as he sternly rebuked him.
"You mean, I actually have to rely on you to become Hai'ergan?" Junyi
"What kind of 'seaweed pickle' is that...?"
