His cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Shiranui Xiao.

The other party's ability to teleport is somewhat traceable.

During the battle, he gradually discovered that the landing point of his repositioning was consistent with that of the peculiar dagger.

However, on several occasions, the landing point deviated slightly from the position of the dagger...

This inevitably made him uncertain.

In short, thanks to his ability to teleport, the opponent also managed to evade his multiple fatal attacks.

Shiranui Sou narrowed her eyes slightly as she met Crocodile's gaze, their chilling killing intent clashing in the air.

Now that the battle has reached this point, it's time to determine the outcome.

"Darkfall!!!"

The surging darkness rose up and gathered in the palm of Shiranui Sou's raised hand, swirling and coiling, condensing into a huge sphere of billowing black smoke in the air.

His arm suddenly slashed down, and a heavy darkness descended to the earth!

"Heavyweight... Sandstorm!!"

Crocodile holds his right claw with his palm facing upward.

The surrounding yellow sand swept in wildly, gathering in front of him and condensing into a huge sandstorm.

This is an advanced version of the Sandstorm, whose power and scale can only be described as world-destroying!

The dark sphere collided violently with the towering sandstorm, the deafening roar echoing across the surrounding area.

In an instant, the ground cracked open, creating crisscrossing ravines. Two destructive forces collided continuously, and the "Rain Banquet" casino collapsed completely amidst violent tremors.

In the distance, Nicole Robin's pretty face turned pale, and her eyes showed undisguised shock.

"They're... two monsters!"

Some of the strongest in this world are like walking natural disasters.

The person who first gave her this feeling was Admiral Aokiji.

The two people before me at this moment are undoubtedly the same.

Her biological instinct to fear danger made her move away.

Uchiha Hikaru turned his head and glanced at her, then said softly.

"Don't worry, stay here. There won't be any problems."

As soon as he finished speaking, crimson chakra surged, and half of Susanoo protected the area where the two were standing.

The darkness and the aftershocks of the sandstorm, as well as the falling rocks from the collapsed buildings, were all kept out.

"Oh my, this little sister really gives off a mature and composed vibe."

Robin subconsciously moved closer to the girl whose name he didn't yet know.

Despite being the enemy who had captured her, she felt safe and secure with him.

Battle Center.

The darkness and sandstorm gradually dissipated.

Shiranui Sho's chest heaved as he stared intently at Crocodile, who was approaching step by step.

Crocodile had a sly smile on his lips, and the cigar he had been holding at the beginning had long since disappeared in the fierce battle.

His right hand, covered in yellow sand, had solidified into a sharp desert sword.

"Kid, it seems I'm still a step ahead."

Crocodile looked at Shiranui Sho's somewhat listless eyes, his smile widening. "Domineering aura is your fatal flaw."

His Observation Haki allows him to avoid most of the damage from his opponents.

Since the other party lacks Armament Haki, the threat posed to him is quite limited.

What I just said was a reminder to both the other person and myself.

Since arriving in Alabasta, he has indeed gradually set aside his domineering nature in pursuit of his ambitions.

Today's events served as a wake-up call for him.

"Konoha Company, what a strange name. I will take over this company..."

"As for those traitors, there's no need for them to live."

Crocodile's eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and his right hand was about to sever a head with his Desert Blade.

However, the next second...

"Binding Path One - Blockage!"

A beam of spiritual energy struck Crocodile.

Just as he was about to strike, he suddenly froze on the spot.

In the next instant, Shiranui Sou's lifeless eyes became clear again.

Looking at Crocodile, who was frozen in place, a vicious smile also appeared on his lips.

"Now, the roles have reversed!"

"Dark water!!"

In his right hand, dark power condensed into a vortex, exerting a tremendous attraction on Crocodile!

"what!?"

Crocodile's arms trembled slightly as he desperately tried to break free of the shackles binding his soul.

He could see nothing at all, yet he felt as if he were bound by ropes and unable to move.

His body flew forward uncontrollably until his neck was grabbed by the other person's right hand.

"you wanna die!!"

He was lifted up by the neck with one hand by a boy much younger than himself, just as he had treated the weak.

A wave of intense shame, anger, and rage instantly overwhelmed Crocodile.

Perhaps it was an outburst of rage, but he found that his body, which had been as if it were bound and unable to move, had regained control.

His gaze sharpened, and he was about to activate his Devil Fruit power when he was taken aback to discover...

"How is this possible!?"

Crocodile's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes widened in utter astonishment and horror.

This was the first time since the start of the battle that he had felt the chill of falling into an ice cave!

The power of the Sand-Sand Fruit seemed to be completely sealed, and he could not feel it at all.

"Aren't you surprised? Aren't you taken aback?"

Shiranui Sou's playful smile slowly spread across her lips.

The fatigue that had been showing earlier had completely disappeared, and his eyes were clear, sharp, and dazzlingly bright.

Behind him, a dark cloak formed by the power of the Dark Fruit floated gently, connected to the dense darkness in his hands.

He grabbed Crocodile by the neck with his right hand.

With his left hand tightly gripping the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he stabbed it precisely and ruthlessly into the opponent's heart.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, only to be swallowed by darkness in an instant.

"Your ability... can disable the power of the Devil Fruit?"

Crocodile stared intently at the excessively young boy before him, his voice hoarse and broken, filled with utter astonishment.

Shiranui Sou nodded slightly.

The air suddenly fell silent.

Crocodile's gloomy and cold face turned ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged faintly.

In those sinister eyes, only the overwhelming resentment of a fallen hero remained.

The heart was pierced through, and life was slipping away.

Even if Shiranui Akane were to release the seal on his Devil Fruit powers at this moment, it would be too late to reverse the situation.

Crocodile's last breaths turned into a low, mocking laugh.

"In the end, I fell into the hands of a brat like you... How ridiculous."

His vision gradually blurred, but the arrogance and ambition in his eyes remained undiminished.

Shiranui Sou's smile faded, and her expression turned serious as she silently bid farewell to this tyrant.

In his final moments, Crocodile slightly twitched the corners of his lips, revealing a desolate yet ruthless smile.

"Kid, don't die so easily!"

Before he died, he did not utter any venomous curses; instead, he wished that his enemy, who had killed him, would go far away.

In this way, his downfall won't become a laughing stock.

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily. And..."

Shiranui Xiao smiled faintly, "I will also give your fruit to the right person."

"……whispering sound."

These words clearly puzzled Crocodile.

He lifted his eyelids slightly, but eventually his eyes slowly closed, and his arms fell to his sides.

With a thought, Shiranui Sho transformed the deep darkness into a large cocoon that enveloped Crocodile.

Far away.

Uchiha Hikaru approached with a shocked Nico Robin.

Chapter 116 The Sandy Fruit!

As Nicole Robin gazed at the massive, dark cocoon before her, the image of Crocodile's death still lingered in her mind.

"He actually killed Crocodile!"

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

To Crocodile, everyone in the Baroque Works was merely a useful tool.

Because of her special abilities, she is considered a high-level tool and has the best understanding of Crocodile's combat power.

With a wave of the hand, it can unleash a sandstorm that ordinary people would consider a natural disaster.

If he weren't a nephew, he would have been a nephew, and his mother ...

However, this very Shichibukai died at the hands of the boy before them!

What happened next left her frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Uchiha Hikaru smiled and opened the package hanging from his waist, taking out an ordinary-looking fruit.

Then, he handed it to the boy in front of him.

"Thanks, Xiaoguang."

Shiranui Sho smiled faintly, first putting the Flying Thunder God Kunai back into her ninja tool pouch with her left hand, and then taking the fruit.

He tossed it lightly, and it landed in the dark cocoon that enveloped Crocodile's body.

"This is..."

Nicole Robin was unaware of the boy's attitude towards her, so she did not speak rashly.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she suppressed her doubts and watched quietly.

Beside him, Uchiha Hikaru blinked curiously as well.

Soon, the darkness dissipated.

Crocodile's face was bluish-purple, and his lifeless body lay quietly in the yellow sand.
