Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

So far, the only person he has ever acknowledged is Whitebeard, who is now known as the strongest man in the world.

The power Luffy is currently displaying is among the most powerful forces on this sea, just like Whitebeard.

This made Crocodile think of Whitebeard and his defeat.

Therefore, he transferred his anger towards Whitebeard to Luffy at this moment.

Crocodile's expression suddenly turned incredibly ferocious, his eyes blazing with fury, and his arm instantly transformed into a cloud of yellow sand.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile roared angrily.

His hand, which had transformed into yellow sand, instantly condensed into four enormous, incredibly sharp sand blades.

His move was incredibly powerful, capable of cutting through iron and shattering stone; it was an enhanced version of the Desert Blade.

The standard version of the Desert Blade is already powerful enough to cleave a trench in the desert, so the enhanced version is even more incredible.

In Luffy's eyes, four incredibly fast and sharp sand blades were rushing towards him at high speed.

Instead of dodging or avoiding, he stared intently at the four sand blades.

At a certain moment, Luffy's gaze suddenly sharpened.

His clenched fist, crackling with boundless purple-black lightning, slammed out.

boom!

A violent roar suddenly erupted in the underground royal tomb.

This caused the entire underground royal tomb to shake violently, and more and more rubble and sand fell from the ceiling above their heads.

The entire underground royal tomb looked as if it were about to collapse.

Crocodile's pupils involuntarily trembled when he saw Luffy facing his Desert Diamond Blade, neither dodging nor avoiding, but instead clenching his fist to counterattack.

The next second, his eyes widened in disbelief, his expression one of astonishment, his face filled with shock.

Not only him, but everyone in the world saw it.

The moment Luffy's fist made contact with his Desert Diamond Blade, the four sand blades shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of yellow sand that drifted away with the wind.

Luffy's fist, however, charged forward with undiminished force.

With Crocodile's eyes wide with shock and disbelief, and the world stunned into silence, he sent Crocodile flying with a single punch.

boom!

Just heard a loud noise.

Crocodile slammed violently into the wall behind him, causing deep cracks to appear in the Stone 260 wall.

He himself coughed up a mouthful of blood, crashed into the wall, and fell to the ground.

"This punch was for Weiwei!"

Luffy's voice drifted out softly.

In fact, Luffy didn't use his full strength in that punch.

His current Conqueror's Haki is already at a world-class level. If he were to unleash a full-force punch, he could definitely kill Crocodile instantly.

After all, Crocodile at this time was still obsessed with pursuing military power and had long lost confidence in his own strength.

As a result, he was defeated by Luffy, who had only been at sea for a short time, in the original work.

After Luffy unleashed his first punch, the whole world fell silent.

Everyone stared in shock at the man in the video, who was clenching his fist.

Everyone's mouth was agape, unable to utter a single word.

After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"So...so strong!"

"Really? One punch and..."

"Is this the Straw Hat Boy's strength?"

"No...no way?! The opponent is a Shichibukai! The Shichibukai who is known as one of the three great powers! Such a person...was actually sent flying by Straw Hat Luffy with just one punch?!"

Am I really not dreaming? Can someone tell me if what I'm seeing is real?

"This is...this is terrifying! Is this the 'Worst Rookie' Straw Hat Boy? He's absolutely terrifying!"

"An extraordinary pirate crew is about to be born in this world!"

Ordinary people are deeply shocked and terrified.

However, those powerful individuals each had their own thoughts at that moment.

...

Dressrosa!

Doflamingo's eyes were filled with shock and excitement.

"Fufufufufu..."

"That's amazing!"

"I never expected that Straw Hat Luffy would be a powerful user who has mastered Conqueror's Haki."

"And his Conqueror's Haki looks almost identical to those of the Four Emperors!"

"Fufufufufu..."

"Interesting! This is really interesting."

"This world... is about to become interesting!"

"Fufufufufu..."

Torrepol then chimed in.

"But the crocodile looks like it can still move!"

"Isn't Straw Hat Boy's Conqueror's Haki still far from that of a Yonko?"

Doflamingo stopped laughing upon hearing this and said...

"Didn't you hear what Straw Hat Boy just said?"

He said he would punch the crocodile three times!

"So...how could he possibly take down a crocodile with a single punch (ceeb)?"

"Although I don't know why he did that?"

"But...the practice of tormenting someone little by little instead of choosing a quick solution..."

"He really does deserve the title of 'Worst Newcomer'!"

"Fufufufufu..."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's explanation, the remaining executives' impression of Luffy as the "worst" deepened, and fear and apprehension appeared in their eyes.

...

Some island in the New World!

When Shanks saw Luffy display the power of top-tier Conqueror's Haki, his pupils dilated in shock.

Although Luffy hadn't used his full strength, he was certain that what he had seen just now was not an illusion.

Shanks' eyes held a mixture of shock and anticipation.

"This is truly astonishing, Luffy!"

"I didn't expect you to grow up so fast!"

"It seems that the time for us to meet is just around the corner."

While Shanks looked on with anticipation and longing, Hawkeye was equally shocked and still felt a lingering fear.

"Straw Hat Boy, the speed at which you've grown has far exceeded my expectations."

Here, Hawkeye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"If Straw Hat Peach were to use the Eight Gates again now, I'm afraid I'd be no match for him!"

...

On the Moby Dick!

"Gurala la la la..."

Whitebeard looked at Luffy in the picture and laughed heartily.

"Is this the younger brother Ace was talking about, the one he'd never beaten even once?"

"Now it seems that Ace wasn't lying after all!"

"Gurala la la la..."

Marco, holding Luffy's bounty of 6000 million Berries in his hand, said with shock in his eyes.

"Is Ace's brother really this strong?"

"That crocodile was a pirate who challenged you, Dad, back then. His strength was already considerable. I never imagined that he would be so much weaker than Ais's brother now!"

Whitebeard stopped laughing upon hearing this and gave a cold snort.

"Hmph! That little sand brat isn't as strong as he used to be; he's given up on himself!"

...

Naval Headquarters!

Sengoku's expression was extremely gloomy and solemn. He slammed his hand on the table and roared.

"Garp! Did you already know about Straw Hat Luffy's strength all along? And you kept it from us?"

When Sengoku asked this question, everyone turned to look at Garp.

As a result, everyone saw...

Garp looked utterly astonished, stood up, held his head in his hands, half-squatted down, his chin stretched out, and his eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out.

He exclaimed in disbelief.

"What?! When did that kid become so strong?"

"That guy never told me that?!"

"Damn it! They even kept it from me, their grandfather!"

With that, Garp returned to his normal self, patting his chest as he assured Sengoku.

"Don't worry, Sengoku. I'll definitely teach him a lesson next time we meet."

"Make him reveal all his abilities, and then I'll tell you."

Garp patted his chest, looking very confident.

This scene infuriated Sengoku.

Who can't tell that Garp is faking it?

But right now... he's helpless against this deadbeat.

At that moment, Kizaru suddenly spoke up.
