Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

-

At this time, it was in the underground palace below the burial hall, west of the palace.

A few rays of sunlight penetrated the hole in the ceiling, hitting the ancient and mysterious murals and illuminating the dim underground palace.

Luffy gritted his teeth and stared at the crocodile-shaped sand that kept pouring up, constantly dodging and swinging his fists until smoke came out.

Instead, the Green Ghost and the Red Ghost chopped, stabbed, and stabbed with their long swords. They lifted the big swords and round shields with ease, and smashed the crocodiles that pounced on them with a single blow, seemingly with great ease.

But Crocodile's moves came one after another, and after one move was resolved, another one would come.

Reiner didn't let them explode directly at the beginning. He was prepared to rely on the blessing of the animal system to fight a war of attrition with the sand crocodile.

This would have been safer, but looking at the current situation, the opponent's physical strength showed no signs of running out, and Reiner couldn't help but frown.

If he continues like this, he may not be able to hold out against the other party, because if the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost use Haki, his energy will be consumed very quickly, not to mention that he has to keep Haki in reserve.

Reiner made up his mind and immediately thought about it. The Blue Demon and the Red Demon bent their legs and squatted down. They suddenly pushed hard, and the ground cracked with a bang, spreading like a spider web, and the two were directly ejected.

He swung out his round shield to shatter the oncoming attack into sand, and the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost flew forward on the left and right, activating their armament color, and a bright black covered the greatswords in their hands.

"So fast!"

Crocodile was startled at once, and the sand wall he had just summoned with his hand had not yet fully risen when the opponent leapt over it and rushed in front of him in a flash.

Seeing that the two great swords were about to hit him, Crocodile immediately transformed his body into elements, and flying sand scattered in all directions, leaving a hole in the part that was about to be cut.

At the same time, small whirlwinds rose up from his hands and attacked the green and red ghosts.

"Small Shalan!"

The opponent will use armament color, which means that the elementalization cannot be taken head-on, but it does not mean that it cannot be avoided.

However, the Blue Oni and the Red Oni are more than capable of Armament Haki, their Observation Haki have already anticipated the actions of the Sand Crocodile.

He ignored the opponent's attack and let the small sandstorm hit and cut his body. He twisted his wrist, changed the direction of the sword, and slashed the elemental Crocodile hard.

puff!puff!

Bang! Crocodile flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times, with two deep cuts on his body.

"Cough cough!"

The sand crocodile gritted his teeth, squatted up and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking ferociously ahead, and while the opponent was stopped by Sha Lan, he raised his big hand.

"Desert Sword!" A huge sand blade burst out from the sand under the feet of the Green Ghost and the Red Ghost, cutting them in half.

It actually cut out a deep gap!

Isn't this the same sword that killed Akainu at the top? It's not going to turn over, is it?

Reiner was terrified by what he saw, and the next moment he began to use his ability to repair the wounds on the waists of the Blue Demon and the Red Demon.

"I'm going to use that trick Reiner!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the field. Reiner reacted and turned his head abruptly, only to see Luffy already half squatting with his legs spread out, one hand on his knee and the other hand clenched into a fist to support the ground.

"Wait a minute Luffy! Gear 2 is too risky."

"No need to say anything, Reiner!"

Luffy shouted, interrupting Reiner, and remained in the posture of activating Gear 2, staring at Crocodile in front of him with a firm look in his eyes.

"This crocodile is very strong! Even you are not sure you can win!

"If you lose, you'll have nothing!"

Currently, the second gear has side effects. After using it, you will be exhausted and unable to fight back. Frequent use may even shorten your lifespan.

"I see."

Reiner stopped trying to stop him after hearing that. He really wasn't sure. Even the two strongest undead at his disposal had suffered at the hands of the opponent.

Crocodile's strength completely exceeded his imagination. In the original work, Luffy was defeated twice before he could barely win. This time, he wouldn't have so many chances.

The combat power system of One Piece is hard to describe in a few words, as the gap between the early and late stages is too huge.

In this book, Crocodile's strength positioning two years ago was slightly stronger than that of a top vice admiral, otherwise the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea would be too watery.

But the 19 billion big account will definitely not be used, otherwise you can’t beat it even if you use your head.

Chapter 51 Hidden Gun

Before Reiner went out to sea, he thought that his physical fitness should be up to standard, so he tried to practice the shaving technique among the six styles.

Isn't it just stomping on the ground dozens of times in a row in an instant? If you have enough physical fitness, even a dog can do it.

Then he failed

It was kind of fucked up, but he let Luffy try again.

as predicted!

Also failed

Then he remembered that Luffy at the beginning could only do it after activating Gear 2, so he told him about the idea of developing the 'Rubber Fruit'.

Finally Luffy really mastered it!

After successfully activating Gear 2, Luffy also successfully used the shave with the help of his tremendous physical functions.

Reiner was shocked at that time. It turned out that the gap between a martial arts genius and a martial arts loser was so huge.

ton--!

Tons——! Luffy's calves suddenly swelled up like springs and then compressed upwards.

After repeating this several times, the skin began to turn red and white heat began to emerge from the surface of the body.

"What's this?!"

Seeing this scene, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Nami and others hid behind the rocks and looked at Luffy in surprise. White mist continued to emerge from his body like a steam engine.

The second gear uses the body as a pump, accelerating blood flow by pumping air in exchange for temporary strengthening of body functions. Ordinary people cannot do this, and even if they can, they will inevitably die from burst blood vessels.

However, Luffy can use the characteristics of his rubber body to complete this move. Therefore, the Chainsaw Demon cannot use the second gear and extended martial arts.

Is it enough to cheer yourself up or say "come on"?

"Enter, second gear!!"

Luffy stared at the Crocodile in front of him, shouted, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a white mist in its place.

"So fast!"

Crookdalton felt something was wrong. He had seen this kind of high-speed explosive move before, but never one so fast. It was even difficult for him to catch the opponent's trajectory.

The next moment, Luffy appeared beside him, with one hand clenched into a fist and the other waving his palm as if aiming. A loud shout startled him.

"Rubber jet pistol!"

A fist that was faster than the speed of movement and could not even be seen appeared in an instant and smashed down on Crocodile's face, sinking deeply into his flesh.

boom!

The sand crocodile was caught off guard and was knocked away by a punch. Its scalp stuck to the sand and flew backwards, plowing a deep groove.

"Rubber jet stamp!"

Before he could get up, Luffy appeared in the opposite direction of him, emitting white hot air, and raised his foot to kick him hard.

boom! !

A kick landed directly on Crocodile's abdomen, causing him to bend his back and raise his legs. He spat out blood in embarrassment, and his pupils shrank slightly, revealing the whites of his eyes.

"Rubber jiet bazooka!"

Just when Luffy was about to hit him with his heavy palm, Crocodile was ruthless, endured the pain, turned over and squatted, pressed one hand on the ground, and controlled the sand to raise a half-moon shaped sand knife.

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

Luffy was surprised by Crocodile's ability to withstand blows. Two attacks landed on the opponent at the same time. Crocodile was blown away again and fell heavily on the main text of history with a bang.

He slid down and half-knelt on the ground, looking at Luffy in surprise.

Unable to Elementalize! ?

When the opponent rushed to him for the first time, he subconsciously used elementalization to evade, but he was still hit!

It's water!

Why would they know?

Feeling a little wetness on his body, Crocodile looked fiercely at Nico Robin in the distance, and seemed to have the answer in his heart. Did this woman plan all this today?

He was just careless for a moment and was caught by the opponent, but it doesn't mean that he will be defeated.

He didn't have time to think about it, because the two green and red ghosts that he had just cut in half had recovered from their injuries and were rushing towards him.

"Luffy, are you okay?"

Reiner came to Luffy, and Luffy was completely crushed.

The crescent-shaped sand dune that the opponent just created was actually a move that could absorb moisture from the enemy's body.

He untied the small water bucket from his waist, opened it, helped Luffy up and poured the water into his mouth.

"Gurgle-Gurgle-"

After a while, Luffy's flat body swelled up like an inflated balloon.

"Alive! Thanks, Reiner."

Luffy jumped up, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and said solemnly:

"This guy is really hard to deal with. I can't even defeat him in the second gear."

Luffy now does not have Haki. Even though he has the rubber contraction property to increase his attack power, after activating the second gear, his individual combat power is about the same level as Aoki and Akagi.

Reiner estimated that it was roughly equivalent to the level of a stronger lieutenant general in the headquarters.

Of course not a vice admiral like Garp.

Obviously Crocodile's current performance is slightly above this level.

This is when the opponent does not show any domineering power, but Luffy in Gear 2 and Aoki Oni and Red Oni can still beat him when they work together.
