Chapter 643

"Boy! Who are you! How dare you ruin my plans!" Crocodile's gaze turned to Chen Fan;

Chen Fan curled his lip and said, "Hey! Please, even if you want to show off, don't be so pretentious. If you know something, just say so; if you don't, just say so. What's the point of saying so much useless stuff? Are you trying to make yourself look superior or something? Your bounty is only 81 million Beli, while mine is 100 million Beli."

"So that's how it is! You're the guy with the 100 million Beli bounty Chen Fan. So MR1 and their mission failed, a bunch of useless trash!"

"It's so cruel. I feel sorry for them. Their own boss doesn't trust them. If I were them, I'd drag you to Hell with me, even if it meant my death!"

"Trust? That kind of thing never existed in the first place! I've never trusted anyone!" As she spoke, she reached out her right hand to grab Chen Fan.

(Chapter 171 Teasing)

"Whoosh...!" Chen Fan swiftly drew another knife with his other hand, blocking Crocodile's attack. Crocodile's right hand could use a cracking ability to absorb moisture from anything it touched.

"You don't even have a single person you can trust. How pathetic. Is this Shichibukai are like? Are you really happy?" Chen Fan sighed, seemingly pitying Crocodile, but it was just a twisted sense of humor. He might pity Crocodile, but who would pity him? He didn't have that kind of compassion.

Crocodile's previously calm expression changed. Although he nominally held the title of Shichibukai, he was essentially just a survivor who had escaped from the New World, a loser in the true sense. He hated being pitied more than being disliked; even that tone was unacceptable. Those who pitied others were always of higher status than those being pitied, weren't they? He loathed that feeling. He was an ambitious and powerful man, but he had lost the sharp edge a pirate should possess, which was why he was ultimately defeated by Luffy. His true strength absolutely deserved the title of Shichibukai.

Crocodile roared angrily, "Damn it! Who are you? What right do you have to talk to me like that? You're just a rookie with a bounty of over 100 million! There are countless pirates with bounties over 100 million in the New World. You can grab a bunch of them at will. Why aren't they the Shichibukai, but I am? I'll show you the terror of the Shichibukai!"

"Desert Treasure Sword!"

A sharp, blade-like attack formed from sand hurtled towards Chen Fan, its sharpness no less than the sword energy Chen Fan usually unleashed with his knife.

"Boom...!" The entire palace was sliced in two;

Chen Fan jumped down when Crocodile launched his attack and was not hit by it.

"Thump...!" Chen Fan landed next to Vivi;

"Chen Fan, thank you, thank you for stopping the fight." Vivi said to Chen Fan. She had been so anxious just now, but she couldn't tell everyone the truth because what she said would only make things more confusing. She watched helplessly as the battle below was about to break out, but Chen Fan resolved everything as soon as he appeared. She really didn't know what else to say besides thank you.

"This must be the person Vivi was talking about." Vivi's father, King Cobra, carefully examined Chen Fan. Before Chen Fan arrived, Vivi had told Crocodile that Chen Fan would definitely come to stop him, so Cobra was also curious about who Chen Fan was. He had also heard what Chen Fan had just said. Although it wasn't a proper technique, it was very effective. He couldn't help but look at Chen Fan with new respect. His gaze seemed to suggest that he wanted Chen Fan to be his son-in-law, so that even if he died, he could entrust Vivi to him.

"That's right, this is Chen Fan, a man who doesn't play by the rules," Robin said.

"What are you still doing here? Go find the time bomb!" Chen Fan said to Vivi;

Vivi suddenly realized that this was not the time to watch the show; she needed to find the bomb quickly, otherwise the capital would be attacked, and countless more people would die. This country could not afford any more sacrifices, and this was where she grew up; she didn't want it to be destroyed again. She hurried down to search for the bomb.

Kouza, the leader of the Rebel Army, planned to explain the situation to the Rebel Army, but there was no time now. Since the war had temporarily stopped, they could talk about it later; they needed to find the bomb first.

Crocodile's body turned into strands of sand and landed not far from Chen Fan;

Nico Robin said, "It seems I can't be of much help in the battle, so I'll go find the Poneglyph."

"Go quickly! I'll take care of this kid soon! I'm about to explode with rage because of him, unless you want to end up as a dried-up corpse," Crocodile said.

Nico Robin has taken King Cobra to find the Poneglyph, leaving only Chen Fan and Crocodile facing off.

Chen Fan watched Nico Robin leave, smiled, and said to Crocodile, "Don't be so angry. Smile more often. As Shichibukai, you should be mindful of your manners."

Crocodile smirked and said, "Kid, let's see how long you can keep up your smugness."

"Sandstorm!" A Sandstorm appeared in Crocodile's right hand. Just as he raised his head to unleash it, he found that Chen Fan's figure had already disappeared. Silent Step, now Chen Fan's specialty, allows for high-speed movement without making a sound. It is the most practical technique Chen Fan has acquired since coming to the Pirate World.

"Whoosh...!" Chen Fan appeared behind Crocodile and sliced Crocodile in half at the waist with a single slash. Crocodile's upper and lower body separated instantly. Crocodile quickly turned to attack, hooking his hand at Chen Fan. Chen Fan blocked the hook with his sword and then jumped back a step.
