Chapter 187

However, the sound lasted for less than a second before disappearing completely without making any further noise.

With a series of swishing sounds, the sand ball disintegrated, cracking and developing numerous tiny fissures.

Immediately afterwards, fine sand began to fall, revealing what was inside.

Crocodile lowered his head, bloodstains running down his face and dripping onto the desert.

Their appearance was so pitiful and tragic that it was unbearable to look at.

Suddenly, Crocodile swayed and fell forward.

With a loud bang, dust billowed up, and Crocodile lay there on the desert, completely unconscious.

At this moment, all the fine sand on the sand ball had fallen onto the desert, and everything had vanished without a trace.

In this area, there were only two people: Chris was standing, and Crocodile was lying down.

This battle for the Shichibukai is between Chris and Crocodile.

This Crocodile was completely and utterly defeated, bringing the story to a complete close...

Shock.

Shock.

Upon seeing this scene, the executives of the Baroque Works were all horrified, frozen in shock as if they had been electrocuted.

"How is that possible...?"

Mikita could no longer hold her little umbrella, and it fell onto the sand. She exclaimed in horror, "The president has been defeated! How could this be? It can't be!"

A look of fear appeared on Marianne's little face. She shrank back and said something very frighteningly.

"It's over, we're all finished now."

"No, I don't want to die, waaaaah~~"

Sally shook her head, rubbed her eyes, and checked several times before finally accepting the fact.

Crocodile, the leader of Baroque Works, has truly been defeated.

Why is this happening??

"The boss is Shichibukai, the strongest Pirate on the seas, so why did he lose?"

"Tell me, someone can tell me why this is happening!"

Gardino, who had been sitting, broke down upon seeing the scene and screamed.

"What a joke! A dignified Shichibukai has actually been defeated? How can this be...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his injuries flared up, his eyes closed, and he fell backward, unconscious.

Fon-Clay wept and pleaded, "No, I don't want to die! Please spare me!"

Mr. 11 was shocked and could no longer sit still. He lay down on the ground and said with a wry smile.

"Is the leader really Shichibukai? I really can't believe it!"

"A newcomer who has just entered the Grand Line can defeat Shichibukai? Isn't that just a fantasy?"

"It's fake, it's all a lie! The leader is definitely not Shichibukai, absolutely not!"

Daz Bones frowned, his face full of doubt, and said with great puzzlement, "The leader is definitely Shichibukai, there's no doubt about that."

"The Logia Sand-Sand Fruit is impossible to fake. As for why the club president failed, there's only one reason: the opponent was simply too strong."

"Although he has only just entered the Grand Line and looks young, his combat strength is terrifying, which is why the president was defeated."

Seeing Crocodile lying on the ground like a dead dog, the expressions on the faces of the Division Commanders were truly fascinating, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Bartolomeo chuckled and praised, "As expected, the Captain's quick thinking got it done in no time."

"What Shichibukai? They're just trash, hahaha..."

Looking at Chris's imposing figure, Gin's dark face showed deep admiration, and he said something.

"The Captain is truly too strong, indescribably strong. No matter who the opponent is, he will take them down without a doubt."

Luo, carrying the Demonic Sword Kikoku, remained as aloof as ever, nodded, and said, "Putting everything else aside, what I admire most about the Captain is his decisiveness."

"In Loguetown, he defeated Headquarters Colonel with just one kick. And this time Smoker, he defeated Shichibukai in just two moves."

"They demonstrated a swift, accurate, and ruthless fighting style to the fullest, perfectly embodying its essence, which is something we should learn from!"

Hawkins remained expressionless, his voice low and menacing as he said, "The Captain truly never utters a single wasted word in battle; he never beats around the bush."

"Speaking of which, Crocodile's fate perfectly proves what the Captain said: villains die from talking too much."

Cavendish beamed, looking quite pleased. "Very good. Although I'm injured, it's nothing serious."

"Crocodile got kicked and bled first, then the Captain smashed his head open. Haha, his injuries are more serious than ours, that's really satisfying!"

Doc Q watched Chris's figure, a rare look of admiration appeared on his aged face as he praised Chris.

"Everyone knows just how solid Crocodile's Absolute Defense is."

"Even my Poison Dragon couldn't corrode it. Yet, the Captain shattered this tortoise shell with just one punch."

"This level of strength is truly incredible. I'm completely convinced."

Burgess raised his arms, laughed loudly, and said something.

"Putting everything else aside, now that we've taken down Crocodile, doesn't that mean we can become Shichibukai? Hahahaha..."

Van Augur tapped his shoulder with his gun and said expressionlessly, "Crocodile's fate was sealed long ago."

"After all, the Captain's strength is truly formidable."

Kuro nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and said rationally, "The Captain possesses the fastest speed and the strongest attack power."

"Even with the two combined, Crocodile's strength is simply not enough."

"Moreover, the Captain is not only powerful, but also calm and composed, and acts decisively and ruthlessly without the slightest hesitation."

"It can only be said that the Captain is a born battle maniac; his combat awareness is truly perfect!"

Lafitte adjusted his top hat, and with a gentle smile, said, "I'm not surprised by this outcome."

"Right now, what I'm most looking forward to is seeing the news in the newspaper that the Captain has become Shichibukai."

"After all, we've been looking forward to this day for a very long time."

It wasn't just the Division Commanders were excited; the men below were also overjoyed, shouting and yelling so loudly that their voices echoed throughout the entire desert.

"Long live Captain Chris!!!"

"What Shichibukai? They're all trash, idiots, hahaha..."

"Crocodile, my foot! It's just a dead fish now. What can it do besides breathe?"

"The Shichibukai belong to us! Cheers to the Shichibukai! Hahaha..."

"Stop talking nonsense, jump up! You have to jump up now! Everyone, get moving! Hehehe~~"

"Damn it, who hit me, you son of a bitch?!"

Hearing the shouts of the crew, Igaram was extremely excited, tears streaming down his face, and he choked up as he uttered a single sentence.

"Great, that's really wonderful..."

"Crocodile has been defeated! Now the Citizens can finally live a good life, waaaaah~~"

The Karoo, flapping its wings and making a series of quacking sounds, its tone full of joy and excitement.

Apis covered her little mouth, her voice still childish, and giggled as she said, "Karoo is so much fun! It says today is its happiest day yet."

Pato clapped his hands, beaming, and exclaimed, "Our boss is the best! Unrivaled, number one in the world!"

Bepo nodded in agreement, "The person I admire most is our Captain. He's like a god from heaven, powerful and mysterious."

The Little Black Dog looked at Chris with eyes full of fear, no longer daring to resist.

He's too powerful. I have no choice but to obey him, or I'll be killed.

"The Captain's speed is ridiculously fast; we can't even see his movement."

Dorry burst into laughter, declaring with gusto, "With the Captain's terrifying speed, who could possibly dodge him? Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!"

Brogy nodded and laughed. "The ability to travel through space is truly terrifying."

"If I were to fight the Captain, I'd probably be instantly killed in one move, clack clack clack..."

Similarly, upon seeing Crocodile's miserable state, the women's pretty faces all lit up with beauty, making them look extremely beautiful.

Nami blinked her big eyes, her smile sweet and innocent, and said, "Chris's skills are truly extraordinary; he ended the battle in less than a minute."

Alvida smiled gently, her eyebrows arching slightly, and said, "Now, our goal has finally been achieved! Congratulations!"

"I knew it! Chris is always the most handsome, hehehe~~" Kaya looked at Chris with admiration, she really admired him.

Honey Queen shrugged and casually remarked, "The only drawback was that the battle was too quick; it was over in the blink of Electric Light eye."

"Honestly, I still haven't quite processed it; it ended way too quickly."

Belo Betty took a drag of her cigarette and said with a sneer, "Knowing Chris's character, he wouldn't drag this out. He'll definitely finish it in two or three moves."

Princess Vivi choked up, tears streaming down her stunningly beautiful face, and exclaimed with immense emotion, "Victory! Lord Chris really did it!"

"I... I'm so happy! The Citizens can finally live happy lives and no longer have to live in fear."

"Thank you, Lord Chris, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Robin patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "We're all partners, no need to be so polite."

"Given Chris's strength, defeating Crocodile is perfectly normal. I'm sure you were prepared for that."

"However, without Crocodile's destruction, the Alabasta Kingdom will definitely develop rapidly, and all the deserts will turn into oases."

Lasha also started crying, saying haltingly, "Robin, you're not Alabasta, you can't understand how Vivi and I feel."

"For us, Crocodile's fall means so much. I... I'm so excited right now."

"Father, Mother, and all the villagers, you can rest in peace now. Our country will never suffer from war again, and everyone will live a good life. Waaah~~"

Makino looked at Vivi and Lasha with utmost Gentle and said something.

"Next, the branch will be established here, and the lives of the Citizens will get better and better. So, you don't need to worry, everything will be alright."

Reiju tossed her pink hair, a sweet smile blooming on her exquisitely fair face. "From now on, my family will officially cooperate with Chris."

"I'll call my father later. I'm sure he'll be very happy, maybe even too excited to sleep tonight."

Baccarat smiled and said gracefully, "Today is truly something to celebrate; it's been such a remarkable day!"

"Having set sail from the South Blue, traveled the Four Seas, and finally achieved my goal today, all of this is truly hard to describe and beyond words."

Just then, a serious and cold voice came from afar.

"I finally caught you, Chris!"

"Damn piece of sea trash, you think you can become Shichibukai? You'd better stay in Impel Down."

"Today, I, Onigumo Vice Admiral, will utterly and completely end you here, hahahaha..."

(Just a spoiler: Crocodile will reappear later in the story; it's not over yet. As for the battle with Onigumo, I won't write much about it; it'll end in one chapter to speed things up (*￣￣).) 10.

Chapter 187

Upon hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned to look at the source of the voice to see who this person was who dared to speak so arrogantly.

The person was moving at an extremely fast speed, leaping across the desert and raising high clouds of dust that made the sand surface buzz.

He was dressed in naval uniform, his righteous cloak fluttering in the wind, making him look very conspicuous and impressive.

The newcomer was none other than Lieutenant General Onigumo, Vice Admiral typical Hawk Faction Onigumo!

"We've caught up! We've been waiting for you for ages, Onigumo Vice Admiral! Hahahaha..."

Burgess laughed loudly, his tone full of sarcasm, clearly not taking this Elite Vice Admiral seriously.
