LRAB Chapter 198 If you don’t use your full strength, you may have no chance, Crocodile.
Chapter 198 If you don’t use your full strength, you may have no chance, Crocodile.
"You've lived a really miserable life." Gion frowned and stared at the person sitting inside through the smoke that filled the room.
The smoke-filled room made Gion feel it was difficult to breathe. Although she also smoked, she couldn't stand the current environment as it was too suffocating.
The person sitting inside had a slicked-back hair, a long horizontal scar on his face, an earring in his right ear, and liked to smoke cigars.
With a golden hook in his left hand, he is wearing a black fur coat with an orange plaid long-sleeved shirt underneath. It is none other than Crocodile!
"Haha, what was supposed to come finally came, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"Navy codename Momotosagi, former Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and Admiral candidate Gion, shouldn't he be from the Dawn Navy?"
Crocodile's tone was surprisingly calm, as if he had already anticipated this day.
There was no particular reaction, I was just curious why it was Gion who came to arrest him instead of the Dawn Navy.
"Oh? You have a good attitude. You actually knew in advance that we would come to you?" Gion asked curiously.
"Humph, how can I predict the future? I just know in my heart that this day will come sooner or later."
"As for the exact time, how can I know? You haven't answered my question yet."
Crocodile's voice was hoarse and low, revealing a sense of helplessness and fatigue.
Gion sneered: "Ha, a turtle trapped in a jar is still so arrogant, but it doesn't hurt to tell you, because I have also joined the Dawn Navy now."
After saying that, Gion's eyes flashed, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, locking onto Crocodile to prevent him from escaping.
Crocodile was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he said with emotion: "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. How could a man like that tolerate the existence of two navy officers?"
"The Four Emperors, the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, no one can stop that man. Even the hidden pirates are not spared. How cruel..."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of running away, but it's impossible for me to just surrender like this. Let's fight."
"I've had enough of this hopeless life. A world without pirates... it's really unimaginable..."
After saying that, Crocodile slowly walked outside, followed closely by Gion holding the Konpira.
......
The strong wind blew up dust, raising a sky full of yellow sand, obscuring their figures.
Crocodile and Gion stood at opposite ends. A heavy atmosphere filled the air, suppressing the air and making breathing difficult.
Apart from the two of them, there was no one else there. There was only the whistling sound of the wind. The residents on the island had already been evacuated by the navy.
The island covered with yellow sand is also the reason why Crocodile chose to hide here. He is a nature-type user of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
He can turn any part of his body into sand, and this environment greatly enhances his strength.
"I have another question. Have Borsalino and Kuzan also joined that man's team?" Crocodile asked curiously after throwing the cigar in his mouth to the ground.
Gion held Kinpila and moved closer to Crocodile. When he heard Crocodile's question, he frowned and said, "You have a lot of questions."
"But I can also tell you that, yes, from now on there is only one navy on this sea, and that is the Dawn Navy!"
Crocodile had a blank expression on his face. He gently stroked the golden hook on his left hand that was shining with cold light, but his eyes were always fixed on Gion who was gradually approaching.
He said slowly, "Haha, it's not that easy to take me down!"
Before he finished speaking, Crocodile activated the power of the Devil Fruit and quickly condensed a tiny but extremely violent sandstorm vortex in the palm of his hand.
With a wave of his arm, the miniature sandstorm rushed straight towards Gion like a fired cannonball.
"Shalan!" Along with Crocodile's low and majestic voice, this powerful force suddenly erupted, and in an instant the battle between the two was about to break out!
In the blink of an eye, the originally insignificant sandstorm has expanded wildly, like a ferocious beast, devouring everything around it.
The flying yellow sand covered the sky and made it impossible to open your eyes.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
However, faced with such a horrifying scene, Gion remained unusually calm.
She tightly grasped the hilt of the Kinpila sword, and a faint layer of armed color domineering quietly covered the sword.
Gion whispered softly: "Random Dance, Fast!"
Then he swung the sword, and the blade drew colorful arcs in the air, like a blooming flower.
In an instant, Gion's figure turned into a flash of lightning, shuttling through the sandstorm at an astonishing speed.
The Jinpila in her hand continuously swung out fierce and unparalleled slashes, and each sword contained endless power and lethality.
These sword energies intertwined to form an impenetrable net, confronting the sweeping sandstorm head-on.
For a moment, there were only roars resounding through the sky and the sounds of swords clashing.
The shock wave generated by the collision of the two powerful forces spread out in all directions, causing gusts of fierce wind.
Seeing that his previous attack had little effect, Crocodile stretched out his right hand without hesitation and touched the ground, roaring in a low voice: "Erosion cycle!" The surrounding buildings quickly turned into sand and collapsed.
The originally solid ground dried up and cracked as if it had lost its vitality, turning into a barren and desolate land, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
Immediately afterwards, countless golden sands surged in from all directions, tightly surrounding Gion, as if to devour every drop of water in her body!
"Haha, do you think you can withstand this level of attack from me?" Gion raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.
Before she finished her words, she swung the long sword in her hand suddenly and shouted softly: "Rose Thorn Dance!"
In a flash, countless gorgeous red roses appeared out of thin air and danced in the air.
Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, these seemingly fragile flowers contained amazing power and easily broke through Crocodile's defense.
Crocodile was unable to even cause any harm to Gion and was easily defeated.
"Is this the strength of the candidate admiral? It seems really powerful..." Crocodile's face became more and more heavy.
He originally thought that he could at least fight back and forth, but he didn't expect that Gion seemed to be much stronger than him, and he broke through his attacks without any damage.
Gion's figure slowly approached Crocodile, and a clear voice rang out: "If you don't use all your strength, you may not have a chance, Crocodile."
