Desert Spada, Flame Torch

Crocodile's hands rose straight out of the ground at that moment.

Crocodile's hands had already transformed into enormous sand blades.

"Desert Spada!"

As Crocodile's words fell, all the sand absorbed by Erosion Reincarnation was turned into his power.

He launched the massive sand blades toward Roya in the sky.

This was practically Crocodile's full-power strike.

Because Crocodile knew that if he did not give it his all, he could easily fall into a disadvantageous position.

That was right. As a man who had dared challenge Whitebeard, Crocodile believed his strength was not much inferior to Roya's.

He was just that confident!

Yet when Roya faced the Desert Spada, his heart did not stir in the slightest.

He even felt like laughing.

Roya slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them!

The power of the Supreme Great Swordsman Perfected Stage gathered upon the blade of Ryujin Jakka.

Flames condensed at that moment as well!

The next second, blazing flames erupted through the air, bursting forth into countless heavenly fires!

Roya's entire body was bathed in towering flames.

Like a god within the fire!

Flames drifted down from the sky like lotus petals!

Roya, high in the sky, gripped the hilt tightly and slashed downward.

At that moment, the ancient blade seemed to cut straight through the air.

It was mixed with terrifying Spiritual Pressure!

The air and blade scraped against one another, producing explosive sounds.

Like a thunderclap.

Rumble!

"Torch!"

As Roya's words fell, Crocodile saw a fiery tornado form in the air.

The flaming tornado rushed toward him at tremendous speed!

It seemed to contain countless flashes of sword light!

Crocodile's pupils abruptly contracted.

He immediately summoned even more sand, trying to break through Roya's attack.

The Desert Spada doubled in size at that moment!

It looked utterly terrifying!

Boom!!!
