One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Furthermore, the scope has expanded dramatically!

At this moment, he no longer cared about the officers who were fighting a fierce battle with Kane's men.

If he loses here, everything will be over!

After a small desert was created by human intervention, the ground centered on Yamato suddenly began to twist and sink, forming a huge quicksand vortex, with a powerful suction force trying to swallow her up!

Yamato frowned slightly, bent his knees slightly, and prepared to leap away.

"I'm waiting for you."

Crocodile's lips curled into a savage grin, a look of absolute certainty on his face.

A sandstorm suddenly surged up around Yamato, like a thick yellow dome, crashing down on her head and instantly engulfing her completely in the endless quicksand!

This is not over yet.

"Desert Greatsword!"

With Crocodile's hoarse growl, a massive sword formed from extremely compressed sand suddenly pierced through from where Yamato was!

This spectacular scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield!

Hiyori, Robin, and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats, their eyes filled with worry, fearing that something might happen to Yamato under such a dangerous attack.

Meanwhile, the few remaining executives of the Baroque Works had a look of wild joy in their eyes!

As expected of the club president, he took down one of the enemy's top generals with a single move.

Kane just wants to say: You're getting ahead of yourselves.

Crocodile's combo may seem powerful, but it cannot make up for the huge gap in strength.

as predicted.

The next second, Yamato's energetic voice came from inside the sand shield.

"Drink!"

Immediately afterwards, the seemingly indestructible sand shield was as fragile as paper, with a huge hole suddenly pierced from the inside by a brute force, revealing the perfectly intact Yamato inside.

Around her, freezing air worked continuously, freezing the incoming sand.

With a light leap, Yamato escaped the quicksand vortex, then solidified a small platform in mid-air. With a push of his feet, he shot straight towards Crocodile like an arrow.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

Black and red lightning crackled around the spiked club, which slammed down fiercely towards Crocodile.

not good!

It's a form of entanglement!

Crocodile's pupils contracted sharply.

The thought of resisting with all one's might did not arise in one's mind; driven by instinct, the body instantly transformed into elemental form.

boom!

Wherever the spiked club passed, yellow sand flew everywhere.

Crocodile's sand-like body was completely shattered by the aftershocks of this attack.

Yamato landed lightly, her spiked club resting on the ground. She placed her hand on her brow bone, observing her surroundings with great interest, like a hunter searching for prey.

"What...you're running away already?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that Crocodile hadn't appeared, she couldn't help but purse her lips, her face full of disappointment. "How boring, he has no warrior spirit at all."

Not far away, Kane shook his head with amusement: "After so many years of comfort, he has lost all his warrior spirit."

In the world of One Piece, this is what happens when you play too many low-level matches.

Despite Crocodile's constant pronouncements that he will take revenge on Whitebeard once he obtains Pluton and reach the pinnacle of the world, he is not fooled by Crocodile's words.

His ambition had long been worn down by years of opportunism and trickery.

It's easy to deceive others, but hard to deceive yourself.

Even if they say it all the truth, they know perfectly well what's going on in their hearts.

In the distance, beneath a seemingly peaceful sand dune, Crocodile, who had overheard the entire conversation between the two, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes so sinister they seemed ready to devour someone.

shame.

An unprecedented humiliation.

But this humiliation wasn't because he couldn't beat Yamato, but because, at that very moment, the first and clearest thought that flashed through his mind was—to run away!

He couldn't even beat Kaido's daughter, let alone Kane.

His last shred of reason was frantically reminding him:

run!

Must run!

While we still have the chance, we should run as far as possible!

As long as Kane and the others leave, I will still have a chance to make a comeback!

The thought, like a venomous snake in the desert, coiled around his mind, cold yet alluring.

but……

I'm a sand crocodile!

Chapter 144 The Sand Crocodile is Dead! Alabasta is Over.

"Hehe, you actually approached me on your own initiative instead of running away."

Kane rested his chin on his hand and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Not far away, Crocodile, looking rather disheveled, was slowly walking towards them.

However, despite his disheveled appearance, the aura emanating from him was even stronger.

"It really has awakened."

Kane gasped.

The villain turned out to be myself.

Seeing this, Yamato's eyes lit up with excitement. He was about to raise his spiked club and rush forward to finish the unfinished battle when Kane gently stopped him with his outstretched arm.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!"

Yamato put her hands on her hips and pouted her little face in dissatisfaction.

“King against king, general against general. Let me see him off on his final journey.”

Kane smiled slightly.

Yamato is more than capable of dealing with the self-destructive Crocodile.

But now that he has come to his senses, I should give him some dignity.

This sand crocodile in its current condition deserves this respect.

Kane slowly stepped forward and stopped not far from Crocodile, arms crossed: "Ready to die?"

"That's a line I should be saying!"

Even though he was fully aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides, Crocodile remained arrogant and showed no sign of backing down.

Kane nodded noncommittally: "Out of respect for your senior, you go first."

"Hmph, you really don't hold back!"

Crocodile's eyes narrowed, and although he felt aggrieved, his actions were without any hesitation.

He spread his hands forward, and two miniature but rapidly spinning yellow sandstorms instantly formed on his palms!

Even if you offer a bounty of 2.4 billion, the biggest mistake you've made is fighting me in the desert!

"Heavyweight Sandstorm - Double!"

As Crocodile swung his arms forward, the two miniature tornadoes detached from his palms and fell to the ground.

As if they had been injected with life, they expanded and grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into two raging sandstorms that connected heaven and earth, each tens of meters high.

The yellow sand was swirling wildly, obscuring the sky and the sun, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The powerful winds transformed into an invisible, gigantic maw, greedily seizing everything around it. Sand, rocks, trees, building debris—everything was swallowed up by the sandstorm, growing stronger within it.

The most dangerous place is the narrow, terrifying zone between the two massive tornadoes.

Any object caught in it will be subjected to the frantic pulling and tearing of two opposing extreme forces, and will be instantly broken down into the smallest fragments!

Faced with this natural disaster that would terrify any ordinary person, Kane remained standing still, without even moving an inch.

Instead, he examined the two raging sandstorms with great interest, his eyes even revealing a hint of... novelty?

Then, to Crocodile's incredulous gaze, Kane slowly extended his right hand, seemingly wanting to touch the destructive wind barrier!

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited!"

Crocodile smirked disdainfully: "Even Whitebeard wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant as to take this attack of mine head-on!"

Prepare to die, you arrogant brat!

His eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty excitement, as if he could already see Kane's arm, and even his entire body, being torn to pieces in the next second.

However, the next second...

"This...this is impossible!!!"

Crocodile's confident expression froze and shattered instantly, completely unaware that the cigar he was holding was about to fall from his lips.

What did he see?

That kid... actually put his hand into the eye of the storm that could crush steel!

And it was recovered intact!
