Babanuki certainly knows how to use his Haki.

Before following Ian, he was already a pillar of the Beasts Pirates.

After following Ian, he also learned the Six Powers.

His Haki might not be particularly strong, but it was enough for this moment.

It's enough to just be able to touch Crocodile's Elementalization form.

Then, terrifying, unparalleled strength will solve everything.

An enormous fist slammed into a cloud of yellow sand.

A figure was blasted out of the originally scattered yellow sand by Babanuki's circle!

Who else could it be but Crocodile, who was so arrogant just moments ago?

The man spat out blood, his body twisted and deformed by the punch, and fell like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust in the desert behind him.

"Roar roar roar roar!"

Babanuki then landed heavily, pounding his chest excitedly like a real Masira, letting out rapid roars.

"Admiral Babanuki insulted Shichibukai! Boss Babanuki is invincible!"

The surrounding pirates were already cheering.

That's Shichibukai!

A truly legendary pirate.

Now he's been blown apart by Boss Babanuki with a single punch!

This is the power of our Beasts Pirates, our Golden Flying Dragon!

"That's incredible!"

Even Dorry and the other two couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "What astonishing power!"

Babanuki's power at that moment earned their approval.

Not far away, in the desert, inside a huge hole.

Crocodile slowly sat up.

"Vomit--"

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The crimson blood fell onto the incredibly dry yellow sand and was almost immediately swallowed up, leaving only a small crimson residue.

Crocodile looked up with an extremely gloomy expression, gazing at the cheering behemoth in the distance.

Veins began to bulge from his forehead.

Are you kidding me!

This is nothing more than an insignificant nobody on the high seas!

I've actually been driven to this point?

Countless bones were broken by that unexpected punch.

To Elementalization in front of a master who can use Haki is still too careless.

"Desert King Diamond Blade!"

With a furious roar, Crocodile took to the air once more, flicking his right hand, and four blades, far larger than the previous Sand Blade, tore through the desert and hurtled towards Babanuki.

but.

"Hey-hey!"

Babanuki smirked, then swung his right leg—"Storm Kick!"

If it were his true form, he wouldn't be very good at using and mastering this move, and wouldn't be able to unleash much of its power.

But things are different now.

So what if the technique is crude?

Just use brute force to make up for it!

The immense slash descended like a crescent moon from the sky, sweeping across in an instant, tearing through Crocodile's Sand Blade, yet still relentlessly crushing towards Crocodile.

Crocodile's body was instantly torn in two.

It's a pity that Babanuki can't add Haki to his outward slashes, otherwise Crocodile wouldn't have dared to take that attack head-on.

"Damn it!"

The Sand Crocodile was furious beyond measure.

Forget about Ian of the Scorched Sky, he hadn't even met one of his world-renowned subordinates, and yet he was forced to this extent by some nobody whose name he didn't even know?

Besides anger, another emotion arose in Crocodile's heart.

Have I become decadent?

Has my strength diminished during this long period of biding my time?

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Let me smash you flat, Sand Crocodile!"

Babanuki was launched into the air, and then crashed down on Crocodile like a meteorite.

Crocodile took a deep breath, and the next second, he transformed into yellow sand and merged into the desert below.

Boom!

The giant beast's iron fist slammed down, creating a huge crater within a radius of hundreds of meters.

but.

"Um?"

Babanuki looked around in surprise. "Where did that guy go?"

His Armament Haki was terrible, and he was even less proficient in Observation Haki.

"Desert Sunflower!"

A low growl came from deep underground.

Then Babanuki suddenly realized that the already soft yellow sand beneath his feet was beginning to collapse. He didn't know when, but he was now in the middle of quicksand, and the sinking sand was dragging him down with him.

"Hahaha! Don't underestimate me!"

Babanuki roared, "Geppo!"

With such a massive size, Geppo is not very effective.

However, with the explosive power of his legs, he still soared into the sky, directly breaking free from the quicksand's restraints and leaping into the air. At the same time, Babanuki wildly swung his legs, unleashing a barrage of slashes from the sky, shattering the quicksand into a chaotic mess.

Then he landed heavily on the ground not far away.

"Get out here, you crocodile!"

Babanuki roared in fury, "Even I am no match for you, how dare you even try to spy on Lord Ian?"

In the distance, from the yellow sand, Crocodile slowly emerged.

He clenched his teeth, and his once meticulously combed slicked-back hair was now completely disheveled.

How long has it been?

How long has it been since I've been forced into such a humiliating situation?

Damn it!

Those guys deserve to die!

Crocodile slammed his hand on the ground.

"Corrosion Samsara!"

The parched power was instantly unleashed.

In an instant, the entire desert trembled, and all the yellow sand seemed to boil.

"What?"

Babanuki suddenly realized that the ground beneath his feet was also rapidly collapsing, as if the entire desert was about to turn into quicksand!

Is this what Logia all about?

The attack range is truly outrageous!

He hurriedly ran backwards, thinking that he would be safe once he reached the riverbank.

Could this thing possibly swallow an entire mighty river?

but.

"Heavyweight Sandstorm!"

Crocodile flicked his right hand, and a small desert tornado flew out from his hand.

Then, the moment it landed on the yellow sand, this small tornado had already grown to the point of being able to devour the sky and the earth.

Countless grains of yellow sand were drawn to it, causing its size to continuously expand.

"Hey!"

Babanuki was practically snotting out of his nose.

In the blink of an eye, a towering tornado was hurtling towards him.

"Hahaha! Get torn to shreds!"

Crocodile burst into laughter.

His abilities are unmatched in the desert!

If left unchecked, this Sables could grow to the point of easily destroying a city in the desert!

"Storm Kick!"

Babanuki used his only ranged attack.

But it was all in vain. The powerful vacuum wave tore the tornado apart, but in the blink of an eye, the tornado had already repaired itself again.

But at this moment...

"Leave it to us! After all, we promised Ian we'd guard the ship for him!"

A hearty laugh came from behind.

Babanuki looks back.

Then they saw two giants standing on the ship's side, each with their weapons raised.

Dorry's greatsword and Brogy's giant axe have been repaired. When Wapol swallowed them and spat them out, they were perfectly intact, even restored to their original sharpness and toughness.

At this moment, invisible fluctuations swirled around the two enormous weapons.

"Crackling sound! It's been so long since I've used this move!"

"Hehehehehe! Brogy, don't you dare drag us down!"

Two giants simultaneously wielded their massive blades.

"The Elbaf's Spear - Overlord!!"

Light!

The spiral beam of light roared out in an instant.

The terrifying wind pressure, even just passing by, was enough to blow Babanuki away.

The yellow sand tornado, directly confronting this spiral Shockwave, was pierced through and vanished without a trace.

A huge chasm was carved out of the desert, stretching far into the depths of the desert.

Babanuki, covered in dust and dirt, got up and couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight before him.

A single move cleaved a canyon in half?

This is the strength of the captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates back in the day!

Absolutely terrifying!

Where is Crocodile?

After his initial amazement, Babanuki remembered his business.

Why can't I find Crocodile anywhere?

Where did that guy run off to again?

Crocodile escaped.

Although it was embarrassing, he did choose to retreat.

He realized that neither the two giants nor the Masira were opponents he could easily defeat.

To wage war against them simultaneously would be tantamount to suicide.

Crocodile's mind was in complete disarray.

An indescribable emotion surged within me.

When did I fall so low that I had to be beaten to a pulp by a guy like this?

Crocodile nearly ground all his teeth to dust.

He could only tell himself that now was not the time to dwell on this.

If Ian also came for Pluton, then he must have already gone to the capital, Alabarna!

I have to stop him!

As for how to stop it, Crocodile didn't think about it, nor did he know how to think about it.

He only knew that he had to go!

Alabarna.

This is probably one of the oldest cities in the world, built as early as four thousand years ago and still in use today. It can be said that this city is a living fossil that has witnessed the country's long history, and it is full of historical sites.

However, its long history has not brought any improvement in the city's strength.

When the Golden Flying Dragon, gleaming with golden light, swept across the city, the city was plunged into extreme panic.

"It's Ian of the Scorched Sky! He's here! He's finally here!"

"Run! Get out of Alabarna! He's going to destroy the whole city!"

The extreme fear made the people of the city too afraid to stay any longer, and they all fled.

"That's the power of Ian!"

On Ian's back, Hancock exclaimed with delight, "That's so cool!"

Where is he handsome?

Luo curled his lip.

Wherever you go, you are met with fear and wails; you can't even have a normal trip.

"Brother Ian,"

Nearby, Jack hung up the Den Den Mushi. "A call from the Golden Flying Dragon! Crocodile attacked the Golden Flying Dragon, but was repelled by Babanuki and the two Titans."

Crocodile?

Yamato tilted his head. "Who's that?"

It's hard to believe that she and Ian have been sailing the seas together for years.

My mind is still completely blank, just like always.

"Crocodile's words,"

Black Maria exclaimed in surprise, "That's Shichibukai, just like Doflamingo! But is Babanuki really that strong now?"

Doflamingo?

Yamato blinked.

Is that guy very strong?

They're nowhere near as strong as me.

Don't underestimate him.

Ian chuckled, "Right now, Maria, you probably can't beat Babanuki."

joke.

The Masira that merged with Babanuki was one of the strongest beasts on Ruskeina Island, possessing strength comparable to the Tobi Roppo of the Beasts Pirates.

After merging with Babanuki, his intelligence and technology were improved, and he could even use the Six Powers and Haki.

Let alone Black Maria, even Jack is probably no match for him.

Aside from the two giants who hitched a ride, Babanuki was now undoubtedly the fourth strongest man on the Golden Flying Dragon.

He can even become stronger.

While training alone offers little hope, there are still Artificial Devil Fruit and IQ- Energy Steroids.

After these two rounds of enhancement, it's hard to say how strong a synthetic warrior like Babanuki will become.

It's possible it could really reach disaster level?

In addition to outstanding pillars like Babanuki, the Beasts Pirates also have a unit that is very suitable for fusing with ferocious beasts.

The Beasts Pirates also have a unit called the Bravens.

"So simple, yet so powerful!"

Black Maria sighed softly, "It's really a bit disappointing."

"If you like it,"

Luo chuckled, "You could also have Wapol help you merge with some ferocious beast, right?"

"Then let's forget about it."

Black Maria waved her hands repeatedly, "It's too ugly, I can't accept it physically."

Strength is temporary, but beauty lasts forever.

"I think we should give it a try!"

Jack, however, looked eager to try.

He fears nothing as long as he can become stronger and help his Brother Ian!

"Let's talk about that later."

Ian said calmly, "We've arrived!"

He had flown to the heart of Alabarna, below which lay the country's royal palace.

At this moment, the area outside the palace was filled with soldiers, who looked up at the Golden Dragon descending from the sky with vigilance and fear.

Ian didn't bother with any more words. As he descended, he activated his Conqueror's Haki, instantly wiping out the soldiers below.

He reverted to human form the moment he hit the ground, and his companions landed behind Ian.

"So Ian, what exactly are we here for?"

Yamato asked curiously, looking around, "There don't seem to be any powerful guys here?"

Ian walked up the high steps outside the palace and said calmly, "I've come to retrieve a letter."

"Letter?"

Luo frowned.

Is this another one of Ian's uniquely inexplicable pieces of trivia?

Did you even know that someone had a letter?

At the top of the steps, the heavy palace gates were tightly shut, so Ian politely raised his hand and knocked. "Will you open the door, or should I just blow up the palace?"

There was a moment of silence inside.

Then finally a dejected voice rang out, "Open the door."

Then, the palace gates slowly opened.

What Ian was now exposed to were tense, sweating soldiers, a kobold with a drawn sword, and a birdman flying in mid-air.

Ian gave the birdman a serious look.

Alabasta is a country modeled after ancient Egypt.

Although the myths and legends of Anubis and Ra are gone, some imagery is still projected into it.

Take Birdman for example; his weapon is a falcon, representing the falcon of La.

However, Ian's gaze soon fell on the man who was surrounded by the crowd at the back.

He was somewhat thin, and his clothes weren't particularly fancy; he wasn't even wearing a crown. But he must be the King of this country, Nefertari, no, Nefital D. Cobra.

"Ian of the Scorched Sky!"

The King was now drenched in sweat. His hastily assembled army of tens of thousands had been wiped out without a trace. What could the remaining troops in the palace do now? Could they possibly stop the man before him?

He simply couldn't understand, "What is it about our impoverished country that could possibly attract the attention of a man like you?"

"There are at least two things about this country that have captured my attention."

Ian smiled.

Then.

Buzz!

Conqueror's Haki was activated again.

At that moment, whether they were ordinary soldiers or the two jackals and falcons known as the guardians of Alabasta, they all fainted with their eyes rolled back.

Only Ian's group and Cobra remained.

Cobra's eyes were bloodshot.

"Don't rush,"

Ian said, "They're just unconscious, but whether they remain unconscious for a while or never wake up is up to you."

Cobra clenched his fists and said with difficulty, "Just tell me your conditions. If I can do it, I will definitely grant them without hesitation."

"Excellent!"

Ian clapped his hands. "I've heard that eight hundred years ago, one of the twenty kings who created the World Government, your ancestor, Queen Lily, left a letter. Let me see it."

Huh?

Cobra was stunned.

How did this man know?

The others were also stunned.

"The creation of the twenty kings of the World Government?"

Luo hurriedly said, "Isn't that Celestial Dragons?"

"Is this guy Celestial Dragons?"

Hancock's gaze towards Cobra instantly changed, becoming incredibly fierce.

"It should be said that the Nefit family should have become Celestial Dragons."

Ian chuckled and said, "But Queen Lily refused to go to Mary Geoise, so there are only nineteen Celestial Dragons families."

"..."

Cobra's mouth was dry.

Nefit House--

He even knows his own family's original surname?

This makes no sense at all!

I only learned these secrets after reading the letter myself.

That letter was a secret passed down through generations of the family, known only to each generation of King, and had never been leaked!

What exactly happened?

Cobra couldn't understand.

"So, Cobra,"

Ian said calmly, "What is your answer?"

Cobra looked down at the fallen warriors, finally sighed dejectedly, and turned around, "Then please follow me."

Please give me some monthly votes!
