Faced with Yamato's attack, Crocodile's expression changed, and he instinctively used his elemental form to dodge.
However, he underestimated Yamato's attack. Yamato had imbued the massive spiked club with Armament Haki, and Crocodile, who was trying to dodge, was still hit.
"Bang..."
"It's Armament Haki! How can someone here know Armament Haki?!"
As Crocodile flew out, a flash of horror crossed his mind. Upon landing, he instantly turned into a cloud of sand, mitigating the damage.
Yamato did not attack again, but waited for Crocodile to recover.
"Who are you? How dare you ambush me!"
Crocodile was furious and somewhat annoyed, never expecting anyone to dare attack him.
He was confident, even somewhat arrogant. Although he lost to Whitebeard Newgate, he had still managed to challenge the World's Strongest warrior.
Furthermore, he had fought to a draw with Bullet, the Devil's Descendant, which made him extremely confident.
Although Whitebeard Newgate brought him despair, he wasn't someone whose reputation he had never heard of could launch a sneak attack.
Yamato held a spiked club in his hand and casually swung it, a hint of wildness appearing on his perfect face.
"You're Crocodile, Logia Devil Fruit User?"
"Hmph, since you know I'm Logia, you still dare to provoke me? Are you tired of living?"
" Logia? I'm so scared! I wonder if I, a Mythical Zoan Fruit user, can challenge you?"
As he spoke, Yamato immediately began his half-beast transformation, growing much taller and unleashing an attack.
" Namuji Hyoga..."
The blue-white shockwave blasted directly at Crocodile, and the icy aura covered the surrounding land in frost.
Crocodile had a bad feeling when he heard that the other party was Mythical Zoan Fruit user, but he was not the kind of person who would run away without even fighting.
Faced with Yamato's attack, Crocodile waved one hand, sending a massive sand pillar hurtling towards Yamato.
The two attacks collided, scattering countless grains of sand covered in ice crystals.
"Hahaha, so what if you're Mythical Zoan Fruit user? This is my home turf. Since you dare to provoke me, then stay here."
Crocodile laughed heartily, then chose to take the initiative, transforming into a grain of sand and rushing directly towards Yamato.
"Hmph, you really don't learn your lesson! You actually dared to choose to fight me in close combat. You're quite brave!"
Yamato remained completely calm, his Observation Haki locking onto Crocodile's figure, a glint of dark light flashing from his already jet-black spiked club.
" Thunder Bagua..."
" Desert Grande Spada..."
Crocodile was utterly horrified. Hearing Yamato out his attack sent chills down his spine.
The giant sand blade he had conjured was utterly vulnerable in front of his opponent.
In particular, the attacks imbued with Armament Haki made Crocodile extremely uncomfortable.
After Yamato's attack shattered the giant sand blade, it sent Crocodile flying once again.
However, people in this world are generally physically strong, so Crocodile only coughed up blood and was not seriously injured.
"Who are you? How do you know Kaido's techniques? And I haven't provoked you, have I?"
Yamato smiled; she couldn't very well say she just wanted to have a fight with him, could she?
Since it was difficult to explain, Yamato decided not to. He transformed into a white phantom and charged forward again, seemingly intent on killing Crocodile.
Crocodile cursed inwardly, but he could only helplessly accept the attack. It wasn't that he hadn't considered taking down Yamato.
However, Crocodile was wary of the other party's identity, and also because Yamato than his own. What shocked Crocodile even more was that Yamato was always on guard against his left hand.
Crocodile was filled with rage, but after exchanging a few blows with Yamato, he could only defend himself. If it weren't for his ability to transform into his elemental form, he would have been lying on the ground long ago.
Lin Yuan watched the battle between the two, and the outcome was basically decided. However, what he didn't expect was that Crocodile really didn't know Haki, or rather, he didn't know much of it.
"In that case, let Yamato play for a while. I'll finish my promise to Cobra first!"
For Lin Yuan, he never relied on his strength to seize or take anything by force, but preferred to exchange things for something of equal value. Therefore, he didn't mind helping Cobra and Princess Vivi once.
"Roar..."
While in the air, Lin Yuan instantly transformed into the Zhu Jiuyin Form. However, what was astonishing was that this time, the dragon god Lin Yuan transformed into was ten thousand meters long.
"Roar..."
Lin Yuan roared again, his enormous figure swirling in the clouds. As he continued to move, the clouds within a hundred miles thickened.
"Clatter."
"Da da..."
"Splash, splash..."
Gradually, raindrops began to fall, and then the rain intensified, turning into a torrential downpour.
Crocodile, who was fighting Yamato, stared at the sky in shock, a chill running down his spine.
"What is that?!"
At this point, he no longer cared about the disadvantages caused by the rain; instead, he wanted to know what kind of monster was that appearing and disappearing creature.
"Could it be Kaido? Impossible, Kaido couldn't be that terrifying!"
As for Yamato, he also stopped fighting. With the rain pouring down, Crocodile couldn't bear it anymore, and his strength had been reduced by more than half, making him no match for him.
She was also looking at the sky. Yamato knew what it was, and had even experienced it firsthand, but she had never seen Lin Yuan grow to such a size.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
Lin Yuan, however, had a different feeling at this moment. He felt that he could now control the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and also had the ability to summon clouds and rain.
This move didn't seem like much, but Lin Yuan was overjoyed. He felt that if he wanted to, he could even unleash a flood, which was a wide-range killing move.
However, Lin Yuan did not conduct the experiment; instead, he began to fly through the Alabasta Kingdom.
In an instant, the entire desert kingdom was shrouded in heavy rain, and all the citizens excitedly rushed out of their homes, cheering and jumping for joy in the downpour.
Inside the palace, King Cobra and Princess Vivi looked at the somewhat gloomy weather caused by the torrential rain with expressions of shock and joy, muttering to themselves.
"He actually did it, it's simply a miracle."
The rain lasted for three hours. Thanks to King Cobra's advance notice, many places had been flooded, resulting in a sudden increase in the number of lakes in the Alabasta Kingdom.
In the future, these places will also become oases.
Sensing that it was about time, Lin Yuan returned to human form and flew towards Yamato and Crocodile.
However, by the time he arrived, the battle was already over. Crocodile lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, soaking wet and unconscious.
As for Yamato, he sat Haki to the side, holding a spiked club, idly spacing out.
"Hehe, my Yamato is really amazing! He took down the opponent so quickly!"
