Chapter 175 / Chapter 176

"I gave you a chance, and since you don't know how to cherish it, then you can all just die!"

"Crescent Sand Dune!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large pile of sand quietly appeared in his right hand. After a series of combinations and transformations, it finally formed a huge crescent-shaped sand blade.

Without any hesitation, he swung his right hand fiercely, and a huge sand blade sliced through the void in a crescent shape, swiftly slashing towards Lafitte.

Crocodile was an arrogant and conceited man who disliked looking up to others and would never allow anyone to be above him.

So his first move was a deadly attack, incredibly fierce, aiming to drain all the moisture from Lafitte's body and turn him into a mummy.

"This speed is far too slow."

With a whoosh, Lafitte flapped its wings, instantly dodging the massive sand blade, and looked down at Crocodile, continuing to search for an opening.

In the original plan, some were responsible for the surprise attack, some for defense, and others for offense...

As the First Mate, Lafitte is undoubtedly an offensive player.

Now let others distract Crocodile, keep him occupied, and keep him busy.

When the opportunity arises, Lafitte will quickly charge down and deliver a fatal blow to Crocodile, eliminating this Shichibukai.

"Beautiful Sword - Bluebird!"

Cavendish pushed off the ground with his right foot, Durandal pointed at Crocodile, and launched an attack like an arrow released from a bow.

A powerful current of air swirled around Durandal, whipping up the surrounding air as Sword Energy surged forth, hurtling towards Crocodile.

Compared to his performance in Loguetown, Cavendish's attack this time was much sharper, and his Sword Energy was significantly stronger, far surpassing what he had used before.

This was thanks to Chris's guidance!!

After all, Chris is Great Swordsman, a true grandmaster. Teaching Cavendish would be like child's play for him.

Under Chris's tutelage, Cavendish improved his sword techniques, becoming more adept at them and his strength increasing dramatically.

"Crocodile, taste my fist, it's as big as a sandbag! Hahahaha..."

Burgess stomped hard on the ground, the sand caved in with a loud thud, and he charged towards Crocodile like a tank.

At this moment, a look of madness appeared on his face, and his right hand clenched tightly, silently forming a jet-black fist, which quickly completed its Armament Haki.

And you know what? With his massive size and expertise in combat, Burgess really looked like a tiger descending the mountain, roaring with the power of a beast.

It was a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Speaking of which, he was the first Division Commander to follow Chris, and he followed him closely all the way from the South Blue.

Under Chris's guidance, he had already mastered the Two-Color Haki and was able to use it skillfully.

He especially diligently Cultivation in Armament Haki. After all, as a fighting champion, his favorite thing was boxing, so Burgess focused on Cultivation in this area.

His mastery of Armament Haki is many times greater than that of Observation Haki.

Chapter 176

"Damn brat, he's actually learned how to Haki!"

Crocodile frowned, a rare look of doubt appearing on his face. He said in disbelief, "How can a mere rookie use Armament Haki?"

"Good, very good, I'm getting more and more interested."

"Little devils, dance to your hearts' content, but don't die too quickly, guhahaha..."

With a whoosh, half of his body turned into fine sand and he flew rapidly into the air, completely ignoring Cavendish and Burgess's attacks.

He glared fiercely at Lafitte and said in an icy tone, "I hate arrogant people the most, and you've successfully angered me, brat!"

Seeing Crocodile take to the air, Cavendish cursed, "Damn it, if you've got the guts, don't dodge!"

The sword was drawn from its sheath, its momentum like a dragon, carrying a vast and mighty Sword Energy that caused the air to churn. It was impossible to stop it; it could only advance relentlessly...

With a loud bang, the yellow sand was shattered and scattered in all directions, filling the air with smoke and dust that enveloped the area.

People outside couldn't see what was happening inside at all; it was completely hidden.

"Damn it, a dignified Shichibukai, and he doesn't even dare to fight me?!!"

Burgess stomped hard on the ground, creating a crater in the sand, before he could barely steady himself.

He was a fan of violence and preferred head-on combat, so Crocodile dodged his attack, causing his iron fist to miss its mark.

This infuriated Burgess; he was furious.

"Now is a good opportunity, let's begin."

Kuro looked at Van Auger, habitually adjusted his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and said calmly.

"The smoke and dust have perfectly concealed you; Crocodile certainly hasn't noticed you."

"Next, you must make good use of this opportunity and not rush to make a move."

"Once an attack is launched, Crocodile will inevitably become alert, making another sneak attack extremely difficult."

Luo nodded, and said with his usual aloofness, "You're a surprise weapon; you really shouldn't make a move unless it's absolutely necessary."

Bartolomeo grinned awkwardly, chuckling, "Crocodile will be really surprised then, hehehe~~"

"I know I only have one chance to make a move." Van Augur tapped his shoulder with his gun, his face expressionless, and said.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I won't show myself so soon."

After speaking, his body gradually sank, ignoring the sand surface, as if he had fallen into water, and he fell straight down.

Soon, Van Oka disappeared without a trace, his body completely submerged in the desert, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Lafitte flapped her pure white wings, smiled slightly, and said politely as always, "Crocodile, although you can fly, you're too slow."

"Fighting me in the air is not a wise move, Crocodile."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, he swooped down like Inazuma, cutting a straight line through the air.

At this moment, Lafitte exuded a magnificent aura, carrying a chilling killing intent, and was incredibly mad, which was quite shocking.

Brush...

As soon as Lafitte arrived in front of Crocodile, he gripped the handle with his right hand and pulled it out instantly.

With a crisp, clear clang, a snow-white Longsword appeared instantly, incredibly sharp, gleaming with a chilling light that was quite intimidating.

Suddenly, the color of the sword changed, starting from the hilt and turning pitch black, and the color continued to spread until the entire sword was pitch black.

Covering oneself in a layer of armor, the best way to deal with Logia Fruit users is with Armament Haki!!

That being said, it's quite normal that Lafitte learned Armament Haki from Chris after sailing from the West Blue.

Moreover, if he, as the First Mate, doesn't even know Two-Color Haki, then his position should be replaced.

"Damn it, another Haki brat!"

Crocodile was furious. He truly couldn't understand how these rookie brats could all possess powers that could only be mastered in the New World.

This was truly incredible, leaving Crocodile utterly bewildered and completely baffled.

"Judging by your Armament Haki, you haven't Cultivation for very long. You're just a beginner who's barely scratched the surface."

Crocodile, Cigar dangling from his lips, wore an arrogant expression and said disdainfully, "I'll show you what real Armament Haki is."

Crocodile remained calm as he looked at Lafitte's sword, which was wreathed in Armament Haki, while a subtle change occurred in the Golden Hook in his left hand.

The once golden hook instantly turned pitch black, shimmering with a metallic black luster, making it very eye-catching.

"Fly away, you damn brat!"

Crocodile roared, bending his left arm backward to a vertical position, poised to unleash his full power.

His gaze turned cold, and he fiercely struck at the sword that Lafitte was thrusting towards him.

Sizzle~~

The sharp sword struck the Golden Hook with an incredibly crisp sound, so jarring that it almost made your teeth ache.

The collision of the sword and the Golden Hook not only produced a loud bang, but also sent a few scattered sparks flying and falling to the ground at the point of impact.

The air between the two trembled, and faint ripples spread outwards.

Even the air Tremor, demonstrating just how powerful this strike was.

Fluttering...

A tremendous force struck, Lafitte lost her balance, flying backward for a moment before flapping her white wings, creating a gust of wind, and finally coming to a stop.

"As expected of Shichibukai, they are not so easy to deal with."

Lafitte flapped his wings gently, and with a slight smile, said, "My Armament Haki indeed something I haven't Cultivation for very long; it's nowhere near as good as yours, Crocodile."

Forces are reciprocal. Although Crocodile repelled Lafitte, he himself was also subjected to a reaction force, and his body fell down a bit.

He glanced coldly at Lafitte and arrogantly said, "Your strength is quite impressive, kid. You've successfully piqued my interest."

"I'll take care of the others first, and as for you, I'll deal with you last."

After speaking, he drew an arc in the air, the fine sand on his body falling off and heading towards the sand surface.

By this time, the yellow sand that had filled the sky had all settled on the ground, revealing all the Division Commanders.

Burgess looked at Crocodile and burst into laughter, saying sarcastically, "Just as the Captain described, an arrogant and conceited man!"

"Even though he couldn't stay in the air for that long and couldn't kill Lafitte, he just made up an excuse, saying he'd successfully piqued your interest."

"Pah! What Shichibukai? They're utter trash!"

Doc Q's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said with a sinister smile, "It seems this Shichibukai is indeed quite strong."

"I wonder if his Armament Haki can withstand my miasma, hehe~~"

Gin gripped the two oddly shaped weapons tightly, frowned, and said coldly.

"As expected, those who become Shichibukai are all quite capable."

"I remember the Captain saying that this guy once fought against Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, so it's quite normal that he can use Two-Color Haki."

Bartolomeo touched his nose ring, looked at Lafitte, and teased, "First Mate, did you get hurt in your one-on-one fight with the Shichibukai?"

"You're amazing! You went straight for him without our help. That's incredible, hahaha..."

Cavendish, his face contorted with rage, cursed, "Damn it, another Logia, and he knows Two-Color Haki. He's so troublesome!"

"I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't defeat a bottom-ranked Shichibukai! What a joke!"

Luo frowned and said coldly, "They've been famous for years. If they didn't have some skills, they would have been taken down long ago. How could it be our turn?"

"Although his Two-Color Haki is stronger than ours, so what? There are so many of us! (Nuoqian Zhao) I refuse to believe we can't outlast him!"

Hawkins remained expressionless, his voice low and menacing as he said, "To win, we'll need a surprise attack; otherwise, it's impossible."
