Boom!
A dull thud echoed like thunder throughout the hall.
Everything along the way was brutally shattered.
All the gamblers were utterly shocked by this scene.
Seeing the Shichibukai, who were usually so high and mighty, now lying like dead dogs in the ruins.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, probably not many people would believe that it was real.
"Impossible! How could my Devil Fruit ability have failed!"
Crocodile the Roar as he charged out of the ruins.
The X-shaped wounds on his body were truly shocking, with blood splattering everywhere.
This put everyone on edge.
"I know what that black moon of yours is now, it's Logia Dark-Dark Fruit."
"I've seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia; it says that it has the ability to nullify Devil Fruit powers."
"However, every fruit has its weakness, and I will definitely find it!"
Find it?
Bai Yu walked out slowly with a bloodthirsty smile on his face. The Demon Sword Murasame in his hand shimmered with an extremely eerie blood light. It was covered with Crocodile's blood, which was quickly devoured.
It gave the impression of a vengeful ghost coming to claim lives.
"This move certainly has a weakness. As long as the power of your attack exceeds the speed at which it cancels out, you can hurt me," Bai Yu said with a bloodthirsty smile.
"As for why I'm telling you this..."
"That's because you're so weak I'm almost falling asleep!"
This is insane!
Inside the secret room, Nico Robin and the others, still reeling from the shock, turned pale instantly.
For them, the title of Shichibukai has always been a symbol of unattainable strength.
Who would have thought that a dignified Shichibukai would be publicly looked down upon?
So weak I'm about to doze off!
This is even more humiliating than killing Shichibukai!
Crocodile's expression twisted to the extreme, his massive body trembled with rage, and he the Roar hysterically.
"You brat, I'm going to kill you!"
" Erosion Cycle!"
Boom!
Crocodile slammed his left hand down on the ground.
The Devil Fruit powers were unleashed in a frenzy.
Centered on Crocodile, the earth beneath his feet and everything around him were rapidly turned into yellow sand.
The spread was so rapid that it instantly turned the entire Rain Dinners Casino into yellow sand.
Those pirates who couldn't escape and gambled here let out a scream, were drained dry and turned into mummies, buried in the yellow sand.
With a deafening roar, the magnificent Rain Dinners Casino, built by Crocodile over many years, crumbled into dust and collapsed.
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and said, "Absorb water?"
"Unfortunately, that alone doesn't seem to be enough!"
This is a special use of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
It was developed based on the properties of sand drying.
With this one move alone, Crocodile's Devil Fruit ability has been developed to the point of near Awakening.
However, there's still a big difference between whether the fruit has truly Awakening and not.
Seeing this, Nico Robin and the others didn't have time to think and quickly retreated!
At the same time, under Crocodile's control, the yellow sand from all directions surged towards Bai Yu like ocean waves.
Boom!
A cloud of yellow sand crashed into Bai Yu.
Faced with the Dark Moon's ability to eliminate, Crocodile instantly came up with a solution.
Since the sand amplified by the fruit's power cannot cause harm.
Then, through assimilation, they used the real yellow sand that exists in nature to submerge the Bai Yu.
As the endless yellow sand rolled in wave after wave, it crushed Bai Yu's body.
Crocodile's face lit up with unbridled ecstasy, and his left hand once again reached out from a distance, his five fingers clenching tightly.
"You brat, you'll just get crushed by the sand!"
Bang!
Amidst the frantically crushing yellow sand, a beam of purple light shot out, instantly piercing through the rapidly pressurizing sand.
The next moment, an extreme Spiritual Pressure surged through heaven and earth, directly breaking through the endless yellow sand.
Amidst the swirling dust and thousands of fragments of purple light, the sky was filled with chaos.
Crocodile's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, he swirled the yellow sand in his right hand again and slashed out with force.
" Desert Spada!"
A hundred-meter-long giant blade of yellow sand instantly tore through the earth.
Unfortunately, the moment they came into contact with the swirling yellow sand, a figure carrying endless golden light and murderous intent charged out from the sand and collided head-on with the Desert Spada.
This suicidal act shocked everyone.
Even Crocodile was no exception.
Boom!
The Desert Spada shattered upon impact, and a massive blast wave swept backward.
Bai Yu's bloodthirsty fighting spirit rapidly magnified in Crocodile's pupils.
At the same time, the thousands of fragments flying everywhere quickly converged into Bai Yu's hand.
A purple aura of killing intent coiled around the blade.
It eventually transformed into a thirsty, massive blade tens of meters long.
With unparalleled ferocity, it slashed head-on at Crocodile.
"No!"
Crocodile the Roar hysterically, hastily raising his right hand with the Golden Hook, which swept up a massive Guard of yellow sand to parry the attack.
Boom!
A purple light flashed by.
The violent impact instantly tore apart everything thousands of meters behind Crocodile.
The resulting blast wave swept across an area of tens of thousands of meters.
The billowing sand and dust rose into the sky, giving the impression of obscuring the sun.
Nico Robin and the others, who were hiding in the distance, turned deathly pale.
Looking at that shocking slash mark that stretched for thousands of meters, one could see...
It sent chills down my spine, and my face was filled with disbelief.
However, at this moment, they were eager to see clearly what was happening to Crocodile at the epicenter of the explosion.
Pfft!
A stream of crimson blood gushed out from Crocodile's right shoulder.
Golden Hook's right hand had completely disappeared.
All that remained was a shocking, neatly executed slash wound.
Crocodile's usually arrogant, deathly pale face was now replaced by bewilderment and fear.
After glancing at Bai Yu, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
Bang!
The sandstorm swirls back, and blood stains the earth red.
The successive heavy blows and physical and mental setbacks undoubtedly pushed Crocodile to his physical limits.
Crocodile was too weak to fight again, and could only watch helplessly as the figure a dozen meters away wore an expression of disbelief.
He believed he could fight against the Three Admirals.
Now, facing the Marine Fourth Admiral, a mere brat, he was defeated in just a few minutes.
Has the times truly abandoned us?
So weak that the opponent is about to fall asleep?
