Boom!
The immense impact caused the wall to shatter.
Crimson blood, like fireworks, scattered across the sky and earth.
Looking at Crocodile, who was forcibly embedded in the wall, and the shocking wound spreading across his chest.
Nico Robin and the others froze.
Is this still the Shichibukai they know?
He was nearly cleaved in two by a single blow.
If the reaction had been even a fraction slower, they would probably be dead by now.
However, what they found most unbelievable was that Crocodile had clearly used the Logia Devil Fruit technique of Elemental Transformation.
Why was he still severely injured by the attack?
"You bastard, you bastard, no way! Who are you, you brat?!"
Crocodile burst out of the ruins, his earlier composure completely gone.
Looking at the shocking wound on his chest, he truly didn't know when he had encountered such a situation before.
"Wasn't the crime I just explained to you very clear?" Bai Yu took a swig of wine and smiled bloodthirstyly.
"It seems the times have truly abandoned you. Huddled in this place, lacking the thrill of life-or-death battles, has dulled your senses."
"I thought you were worth a shot, someone I could have a good fight with, but it seems I overestimated you."
As a reincarnated being, Bai Yu already knew that Crocodile had been hiding in the first half of the Grand Line ever since he was defeated by Whitebeard.
He developed his Devil Fruit abilities to near perfection.
Unfortunately, Crocodile's Isshin to escape prevented him from even Awakening his Two Types of Haki.
This undoubtedly became a major blunder in his life.
This is insane!
Everyone present felt like they were going crazy when they saw Bai Yu's comments.
A mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy not only broke the defenses of a dignified Shichibukai in a single exchange.
And now they're still criticizing Crocodile.
Is this blatant disrespect?
However, compared to the shock of the others, Nico Robin's face gradually turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
"Are you War Demon Bai Yu, the Marine Fourth Admiral who was rumored to be war-mongering not long ago?"
Marine Fourth Admiral?
Gasps of astonishment echoed through the room.
Even the teacup that MR3 had been holding tightly suddenly slipped from his grasp and shattered on the ground.
Even if you've never seen a pig, you've at least eaten pork, right?
The Marine Admiral are hailed as the strongest fighting force.
The infamous reputations of the Three Admirals resounded throughout the entire sea.
Now, suddenly, a Fourth Admiral has appeared and is standing in front of them.
How could this not move them?
" The Marine Fourth Admiral?"
Crocodile's expression darkened to an extreme, gradually contorting, and he the Roar fury.
"What a greenhorn! To think he's become the Marine Fourth Admiral. It seems your Marine Headquarters really has no one left!"
"However, now that you know my secret, you won't be leaving here alive."
"Kid, let me show you what the terror of Logia Devil Fruit User is!"
" Sables!"
Crocodile's left hand rapidly reversed the sandstorm vortex, forming a small sandstorm vortex.
The next moment, it was thrown head-on towards Bai Yu.
Faced with this strange brat who claimed to be the Marine Fourth Admiral, Crocodile knew that the only way to win was to reverse the situation.
Boom!
The sandstorm vortex instantly swelled to tens of meters, even tearing off the roof of the sealed room.
In an instant, a massive storm filled the entire space, tearing everything in its path to shreds.
"As expected of Logia, this is perfect for me to practice."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, and the notification sounds in his mind finally stopped.
"Ding, congratulations host, the Subordinate Template Yammy Llargo unlocked to 100%. The power currently possessed by the Subordinate Template is being injected into the Main Body Template..."
A tremendous power surged into Bai Yu's body like a tidal wave, rapidly replenishing the remaining half of the power that originally belonged to Yammy Llargo and was somewhat lacking.
The techniques he possessed were quickly imprinted in Bai Yu's mind.
Boom!
The massive Sables finally crashed into Bai Yu.
Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Crocodile had already turned into yellow sand and appeared in the Sables ahead of everyone else.
With his right hand, the Golden Hook, amidst the swirling sand and dust, once again slashed towards Bai Yu.
" Desert Spada!"
A massive seven- or eight-meter-long yellow sand sword instantly materialized, tearing through the Sables with a fierce gale as it slashed towards the figure in the center.
Crocodile had no reservations whatsoever in this attack; it was a completely furious outburst.
He wanted to use this move to avenge the humiliation of that earlier strike.
" Dark Moon!"
Buzz!
A black, full moon rose behind Bai Yu.
An invisible domain instantly enveloped an area of several meters in radius.
This is one of the ultimate Dark Magic obtained by unlocking Yammy Llargo's ultimate ability, with the remaining 50% unlocked.
Using dark magic, it possesses the ability to devour everything, creating Absolute Domain.
It can eliminate all negative states within a specific range.
Once you step into this area, the Devil Fruit's power will be completely nullified.
Of course, this technique also has a drawback: the elimination effect is limited to a small area.
If the attack goes too far beyond a certain range, the degree of weakening will also be reduced.
However, for Bai Yu, that was enough.
Hiyori Akainu, Bai Yu used a similar method, enveloping his entire body in Dark Magic to weaken the damage from the Devil Fruit's power.
The appearance of this move, Dark Moon, further expanded Bai Yu's ideas.
It has become a no-go zone for Devil Fruit abilities!
It also became one of Bai Yu's trump cards for close-quarters, frenzied combat.
Buzz!
The vast expanse of yellow sand, shrouded in the Dark Moon, paused for a moment, then dissipated in an instant.
The Desert Spada that came crashing down on them quickly melted and dissipated.
When it reached Bai Yu, all that remained was a gleaming Golden Hook.
The bizarre scene left Crocodile completely bewildered.
Only one thought remained in my mind.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Just moments before, the Logia Devil Fruit ability that he had been relying on and considered his trump card was completely nullified.
For a moment, Crocodile was truly unable to react.
Buzz!
The Demon Sword Murasame flew out once again.
The sound of a sword clashing echoed throughout the secret chamber.
Once again, in full view of everyone, it slashed down on Crocodile's chest.
Bang!
Blood splattered, and the gruesome wound formed an X on Crocodile's chest.
With the release of immense power, Crocodile smashed the wall to pieces this time.
He rushed straight out into the luxurious gambling hall, smashing many of the gambling tables to pieces.
The guests, who had been gambling and enjoying themselves, were suddenly dumbfounded.
Looking at the slicked-back hair in front of him, his face was full of disbelief.
The Rain Banquet was hosted in the name of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Crocodile has always been portrayed as an invincible hero in Alabasta.
Now, however, he was sent flying like a dead dog.
The difference is just too great.
