The sea stone railings snapped under the impact of a heavy punch imbued with Armament Haki, several thick railings were blasted away, and a gap large enough for a person to pass through was instantly torn open in the cage.

"Get out of here!" Mosen shouted urgently to the two people inside the cage.

Robin looked at Morsen with a complex expression, a mixture of worry and lingering fear, but mostly a sense of relief at seeing Morsen safely appear.

Baccarat followed closely behind, excitedly shouting to Morsen as she squeezed her way out, "Moerson! You're finally here! Do you know how much you owe me?! Billions! Billions of Berries! Remember that, and pay me back slowly later!"

Mosen, who was intently watching Crocodile's expression, almost stumbled upon hearing this.

"What the hell? Did sand get into your brain? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Billions? Mo Sen does have billions, but not Pele. If she wanted, we could fill her up with them without any problem.

"You guys go first, come find me later." Mo Sen continued to instruct, then pushed off with his feet again, "His figure instantly disappeared from in front of the cage and reappeared at the dungeon entrance."

At the same time he appeared, a crescent-shaped "sand blade" whistled towards Mosen, and at the same time, the ground beneath his feet began to soften, with a large amount of quicksand surging out, trying to entangle his feet.

Mosen's eyes narrowed, and his fist, covered in Armament Haki, slammed out again, shattering the sand blade with a bang.

Just then, Crocodile's figure suddenly reappeared beside him. All the surrounding yellow sand seemed to be wildly stirred and compressed by an invisible force, instantly forming a high-speed rotating sandstorm tornado that swept up Morsen, who had just shattered the sand blade, along with a large amount of surrounding debris and dust.

"Since you enjoy playing the hero so much, then sleep forever in the embrace of the desert!" Crocodile's voice came from all directions.

The sandstorm tornado, carrying Morsen, roared towards the distant desert of the rain-covered land like a raging yellow dragon!

Chapter 54, Shasha VS Shuishui (Read on!)

[In the Grand Line, the PongPong Orange has begun its return voyage.]

Lali was clinging to the gunwale of the red ship, waving goodbye to Captain Lyle and the other crew members.

Empress Hancock sat on the giant serpent coiled into a chair, listening casually to Rayleigh talking beside her.

Suddenly, she saw a notebook fall off Lali, who was bouncing around.

The pop-up page displayed two cut-out photos: one of "Collector" Mo Sen, and the other of Black Cat Detective.

At the edge of the rain-soaked land, buildings gradually thin out, and yellow sand begins to dominate the view.

The raging sandstorm tornado had just burst out of the city and was engulfing Morsen, trying to plunge headlong into the depths of the boundless desert.

That is Crocodile's absolute home ground, and the endless sea of ​​sand will be the inexhaustible source of his power.

However, just as the sandstorm was about to leave the rain-affected area and penetrate deeper into the desert...

Suddenly, faint lights appeared inside the sandstorm, followed by large streams of clear water that seemed to appear out of thin air, gushing out from the center of the sandstorm.

Driven by the high-speed rotation of the sandstorm, the water instantly spread and seeped in, drenching the raging yellow sand dragon with a chilling spray.

Chi Chi Chi!

The water flow collided violently with the dry sand, producing a dense sound. The high-speed rotating sand grains became heavy and sticky immediately after getting wet, losing their lightness and sharpness.

The sandstorm's rotational speed slowed down visibly, its structure became unstable, and large clumps of wet sand condensed and fell from the sky with a "pitter-patter" sound, like rain.

In the blink of an eye, the seemingly invincible sandstorm crumbled under the sudden "internal precipitation"!

boom!

Mosen's figure fell from mid-air, leaving two shallow craters in the sand and dust on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

His clothes were mostly wet and covered in mud and sand, but his eyes remained sharp and bright.

He casually brushed the dust and water stains off his robes a few times, then looked up at Crocodile, whose face was so gloomy it was almost as if ink was dripping from it.

"Sorry, Crocodile." Morsen grinned, his tone relaxed, as if he had just played a slightly uncomfortable spinning game.

“I’m a bit of a germaphobe and I don’t like going ‘adventure’ in the desert without any preparation, especially with someone like you who’s covered in sand.”

"Consider this a gift, just to wash away the dust for you."

His so-called gift was a large amount of clear water that he had collected in advance using his collection fruit ability.

Just now, inside the sandstorm, when he sensed Crocodile's intention to take him deep into the desert, Morsen decisively released some of the stored water, using the rotational force of the sandstorm to mix it evenly, thus breaking the move in one fell swoop.

Crocodile's face turned ashen as he felt the moisture in the air around him that he instinctively loathed, and the dampness remaining in the sand he controlled.

He didn't expect that the other party not only possessed Armament Haki, but also had come prepared by carrying a large amount of water.

This is no coincidence; this guy probably knows more about his weaknesses than anyone thought.

"Mere trickery!" Crocodile spat out through gritted teeth, "It won't change your fate today! It's just delaying your death by a few minutes!"

His original plan was indeed thwarted, but so what? He is Crocodile, the Sand Crocodile! One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! The de facto ruler of Alabasta! How could he be rendered helpless by such petty tricks?

"Erosion of Reincarnation!"

Crocodile stopped talking nonsense and slammed his right hand on the ground. An invisible wave instantly spread out from him.

The surrounding ground, which was originally a mixture of sand and gravel, was instantly drained of all moisture and vitality by this force, its color rapidly turning grayish-white and cracked, before turning into fine, dry yellow sand.

Under Crocodile's manipulation, the area continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, a large area around the two of them turned into soft sand.

This is Crocodile's method; he can forcibly transform this area into an artificial desert that benefits him.

"I'd like to see how much water you can prepare!" Crocodile's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his right arm suddenly swelled and deformed, turning into a huge crescent-shaped sand blade.

This sand blade is not solid metal, but it exudes an aura more dangerous than metal. Once touched by this sand blade, any liquid will be instantly sucked dry!

"Crescent Dune!"

Crocodile roared, and a massive sand blade tore through the air, hurtling towards Morsen.

This attack is not only fast and wide-ranging, but more deadly is its ability to absorb water. Even a slight graze can cause the body to lose a large amount of water instantly, leaving it weak and powerless.

Feeling the dry air rushing towards him and the sinking sensation caused by the quicksand beneath his feet, Mosen's expression became more serious.

However, he did not panic. Instead, he took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist with his right hand.

His Armament Haki was still a bit lacking, and he couldn't wrap it around the blade, but he had other methods!

Clang!

The long sword was drawn, its blade gleaming, and at the instant it was drawn, the faint light from several stickers on the blade began to flicker continuously!

Pure water source

[Pressed water flow]...

Several different water resource stickers were instantly activated and released.

Clear water, as if alive, gushed forth from the blade, spreading and covering the blood grooves, instantly forming a constantly flowing "water film" on the surface of the longsword.

This is not simply getting wet; rather, Morsen uses his fruit ability to precisely control the release state, forming a "water blade" that can continuously replenish moisture!

This is precisely the temporary countermeasure that Mosen tailored for Crocodile, taking advantage of the Sand-Sand Fruit's weakness of being "afraid of water".

Although it cannot compare to true Armament Haki entangling, this "Water Blade" technique is still highly targeted and its effectiveness is definitely not bad.

"Breath of Water!" Morsen shouted in a low voice, casually calling out a name that sounded cool.

This inspiration comes from an anime I watched in my memory, but only the names are similar.

Mo Sen suddenly exerted force with his feet, advancing instead of retreating, and fiercely slashed his sword at the huge crescent-shaped sand dune!

"Sand Breaker!"

The glint of the sword and the shimmer of the water merged, transforming into a surging, clear "water moon" with the force of a rushing torrent, fiercely confronting the dry and terrifying "sand moon"!

Boom! Crash!

Water and sand, two completely opposite forces, collided violently in mid-air!

There was no loud clang of metal clashing, only the sound of water flowing over sand and gravel, and the strange hissing sound of sand blades absorbing water.

The orange-yellow sand blade and the clear water moon were locked in a stalemate for a moment, and then the sand blade at the point of contact began to rapidly change color and absorb water, becoming heavy and its structure continuously disintegrating.

Although the water was being rapidly evaporated and consumed by the sand blades, Mosen replenished it even faster with stickers.

Chapter 55, Crocodile's Frustration, Attack on Saudi Arabia (Read on!)

Finally, with an even louder explosion, the front of the crescent dune was completely washed away and soaked by the surging water, turning into a large patch of wet sand and mud that lay helplessly on the ground.

Mosen himself did not stop at all, but with a sudden "Shave", he burst out and moved like lightning, passing through the water vapor and sand that had not yet completely dissipated, instantly closing the distance with Crocodile.

"What?!" Crocodile didn't expect that the opponent could not only use water to block his "absorption" sand blade, but also dare to get close so decisively. He subconsciously wanted to disperse his elemental form and create distance.

But would Morsen give him that chance? The close-range fighter he had painstakingly created using "Water Blade" was meant to attack Crocodile's main body.

"Your sand doesn't seem as flexible after absorbing water!" Morsen whispered in Crocodile's ear.

At the same time, the blade covered in a film of flowing water pierced through the air with a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight for Crocodile's chest.

Crocodile's pupils contracted, and in his haste, he could only turn his right arm into sand, condensing it into a thick sand shield in front of him.

At the same time, the golden hook on his left hand, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, hooked towards Morsen's neck.

"Clang! Sizzle!"

The blade tip, covered in a film of water, pierced the sand shield with a strange, mixed sound of metal clashing and water seeping through the sand.

The sand shield was pierced by more than half, and the water flow quickly soaked the inside, making it heavy and sluggish.

As Morsen thrust, he jerked his head to the side, the golden claws grazing Morsen's ear and lifting a few strands of hair.

"It's not over yet!" Mosen shouted, not retracting the longsword that had pierced the sand shield, but instead flicking his wrist, causing water to surge from the blade.

The 【Pressurized Water Stream】 sticker is fully activated, and a burst of high-pressure water shoots out from the blade, shattering the sand shield and sending the blade tip straight at Crocodile's face!

Crocodile hadn't expected his opponent to have this move, and hurriedly turned his head, but the blade still grazed his cheek, cutting it.

Crocodile was shocked. Mosen was just a small-time pirate hunter, yet he had managed to make him look so pathetic.

"Desert Treasure Sword!"

Crocodile roared, his right hand expanding and exploding, transforming into a sharp sand blade that shot out fiercely.

At the same time, several huge sand blades suddenly rose from the ground beneath his feet, and began to cut across Morsen.

Sensing the warning from his Observation Haki, Morsen retreated rapidly, his blade flashing as it precisely cleaved through several major sand blades with the water-coated edge.

As water and sand collided repeatedly, the sand blades were soaked and disintegrated.

As his thoughts raced, Mosen used the momentum of his retreat to activate another "Spring Flow" sticker. A large stream of water gushed out, washing away the quicksand that was trying to entangle his feet.
