"Phew~"
Crocodile took a deep drag on his cigar, half-lidded eyes slanting toward Impact King. Disdain showed in every inch of him.
"You're too weak. You're not worthy of being my opponent."
Those few words sent the atmosphere plunging to freezing point.
Impact King's expression darkened at once.
"Presumptuous! Kill him!"
Crocodile was being far too arrogant. Impact King was a ruthless man himself, and he was so furious that he wanted to beat Crocodile to death with the others.
Even if the King of Heaven himself showed up today,
this man wasn't leaving.
That was Impact King's word.
In an instant, Giant Pig Elkaka, Dandy Rickmame, Centipede King Nartet, and Impact King himself charged at Crocodile, their hands wrapped in white halos.

"A bunch of weaklings."
Facing the danger bearing down on him, Crocodile held his cigar between his left fingers in an OK sign. His entire right arm turned to sand, and he slammed it against the ground.

Rumble!!!
Four techniques shook the heavens and the earth in succession, their blinding light
