Crocodile
Xia Qiu's plan was simple: while Crocodile was in his office, they would smash through the wall, let the lake water rush in, and then attack him.
Crocodile's office is located behind the Rain Dinners, with most of the building submerged underwater.
From the window, you can see the Banana Crocodile swimming around, and when Crocodile knocks on the window, the Banana Crocodile will respond and come closer.
Once he breaks through the wall and the lake water rushes in, he will be powerless to turn into sand.
The lake water here can nullify the abilities of those with superpowers. In the original story, Luffy and his crew left the Seastone prison and found themselves in the water, their legs submerged, and they felt powerless.
Then the floor completely sank, the lake water rose, and Luffy, Mr. 3, and Smoker were all unable to move.
(Someone asked about water in an SBS, Oda answered that the inability to swim refers to all bodies of water—ocean, lake, and river. Most of the body is submerged, causing weakness. He also explained how Devil Fruit users can bathe, saying they can take a shower. In the Film Z, the body becomes weak when submerged in water while bathing. Luffy was tricked into a well by Doflamingo's clone, fell into the water, and lost his strength, only to rest for a while after being rescued. The reason Devil Fruit User become weak is due to the substance prrobroin, which is composed of Seastone. A small amount in water has a different effect. The weakness of Devil Fruit User has always been their inability to swim, not just in the sea.)
Therefore, Xia Qiu planned to flood the lake, preventing Crocodile from turning into sand, and since he would be powerless in the water and unable to turn into sand, thus killing him.
Even if the water here cannot cause Devil Fruit users to lose their powers, Crocodile cannot turn into sand.
Water is its nemesis; even blood or drops of liquid can inhibit desertification.
Crocodile's strength is greatly reduced as long as there is water.
So, as soon as Xia Qiu located Crocodile, she launched an attack.
The walls here are very hard; even a banana crocodile that can bite through stone cannot break through them, but it's different in Xia Qiu.
He was larger than Banana Crocodile, and his physical strength had been enhanced, exceeding that of other creatures of the same size by several times, or even more than ten times.
Don't even mention stone walls; even steel walls, as long as you're not a single, solid structure, can be torn apart and forced in.
Even if they can't break through, Xia Qiu has a way. This is in the middle of the ocean, and there are several glass tunnels leading from here to the land, still underwater.
Once the passage is broken, he won't be able to escape.
Xia Qiu, carrying the lake water, smashed through the walls and rushed towards Crocodile.
"Not good."
Crocodile was caught off guard by the crocodile's sudden attack, which smashed through the wall.
He has water on him, so he cannot turn into sand.
Crocodile did not turn into sand; instead, he raised his right hook and swung it down.
boom.
Xia Qiu's ramming horn collided with Crocodile's hook.
Xia Qiu paused, cracks appearing on the scales on his forehead, while Crocodile used the force to leap backward.
Lake water rushed into the room through the entrance, spreading in this direction.
"Damn it."
Crocodile leaped a short distance, glanced at the lake, and then, in a flash, leaped towards the gate.
Xia Qiu followed closely behind and pounced on Crocodile, but Crocodile was very fast and reached the door in an instant to pull it open.
But the next moment, he found that the door could not be opened.
Several arms appeared at the door, gripping it tightly.
"Are you going to kill me, Nico Robin?" Crocodile's eyes were filled with malice as he glared at Robin.
But the latter had no way to explain himself; he didn't know why Little Qiu suddenly attacked, but all he could do was help her.
He launched the attack, Crocodile will surely blame himself and kill him afterwards.
More importantly, he was too slow to run and had no chance to resist the influx of lake water, so if he wanted to survive, only Little Qiu could save him.
Crocodile didn't attack Robin; instead, he used all his strength to slam his right hook against the iron gate.
boom.
The massive door exploded open and flew to one side.
"It's over, he can run away."
Robin watched him open the door until he could float out with sand, and he couldn't stop him.
He ran away; he'll definitely try to kill me and Little Qiu.
Little Qiu is somewhat better off; she can survive in the water, but she herself is certain to die.
It's over.
Robin still doesn't know why Little Qiu attacked Crocodile.
There was no chance to ask; the lake water had already rushed in, and now he was going to drown.
But the next moment, Robin's eyes widened, because Crocodile did not move forward, and as the gate opened, Crocodile was directly submerged in water.
How could there be water in the passage?
This is a question that Crocodile and Robin both have.
There's no way they can escape now, right?
Xia Qiu revealed a mocking expression. He knew Crocodile's speed; he could appear behind Robin in an instant. Even without sand transformation, he could still fight Luffy to a standstill.
He could escape before the lake water touched him, so why shouldn't I take advantage of that?
Before Xia Qiu launched her attack, she bit through the glass above at the end of the passage.
This is a glass tunnel. Below is a road, and to the left, right and top are glass. It is in the water, and when you are in it, you can see the lake scenery outside.
The reason for crushing the end is to prevent the sound from alerting Crocodile and causing him to discover it in advance.
Xia Qiu directly blocked Crocodile's escape route, making it impossible for him to escape.
When Crocodile walks through this passage, he usually enjoys gazing at the lake.
But now, this place has become hell.
Lake water poured in through the breach, and with the broken wall, the lake water kept increasing.
"Am I going to die?"
Crocodile looked at the surging lake water; there was lake water in front of him, lake water behind him, and lake water above him.
He felt powerless and unable to move forward.
He gritted his teeth, staring at the enormous crocodile, his heart filled with despair.
boom.
The surging lake water submerged him, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
He never imagined that he would be killed like this, without even the ability to fight back.
Click.
Xia Qiu swam over, bit his body, closed her teeth, and pierced through his body.
Crocodile was killed with a single blow.
Xia Qiu didn't swallow it directly, but instead shook her head and turned to look at Robin.
"They actually killed him."
Robin saw the corpse in Xia Qiu's mouth, and his eyes were filled with horror.
They actually killed Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai.
"Let's go."
Xia Qiu walked to Robin's side, retracted her tentacles to wrap around Robin, and then swam away from the lake, climbing onto the shore.
Snap.
Robin was placed on the ground and immediately lay there breathing heavily. The seawater soaked her hair and made her clothes cling tightly to her body, revealing her graceful curves and making her look very sexy.
Xia Qiu returned to the lake and waited for a while before eating Crocodile.
Come on, let me see how much energy you can provide.
