Chapter 565 The Correct Use of Shichibukai! (Two in One)

"Navy Headquarters."

"Is Aokiji's real target for coming to Alabasta Kingdom this time really me?"

Crocodile quickly distanced himself from Kuzan, and looked at Sabo and Ace from a distance, his face becoming extremely solemn.

Ace and Sabo had only tried their skills, but Crocodile had already determined that the other party was a Devil Fruit ability user, and the Devil Fruit abilities possessed by these two little ghosts were not ordinary ones, but the rarest natural Devil Fruit abilities.

Natural Devil Fruit ability users cannot use age to judge the strength of the other party.

If you are confused by the age of the other party and underestimate the opponent, you may suffer a great loss.

"Hu——"

The vortex of fire released by Ace gradually dissipated, and the figure of Daz Bonis, who was hit by Ace's attack, appeared.

To Ace's surprise, Daz Bonis, who took his attack head-on, did not lose his combat effectiveness immediately. Although he had some burns on his body, this degree of injury could not affect the other party's actions.

Ace noticed that Daz Bonis's body was emitting a metallic luster under the sunlight, and the arms that Daz Bonis had blocked in front of him had turned into sharp blades.

"A person with special abilities?"

Ace murmured softly, stretched out his hand and grabbed behind him, quickly grasping his father's relic, the famous sword "Ace", in his hand.

With the long sword in hand, Ace felt relieved.

On the other hand, MR2 Von Clay was not as lucky as Daz Bonis. Sabo used the ability of the Thunder Fruit to increase his kinetic energy when attacking, and at the same time, he also attached the Armament Haki at the moment of hitting the opponent.

Although Sabo's Armament Haki had just awakened not long ago, its strength was also mediocre.

But facing Von Clay, who had not mastered Haki, it was enough to form a crushing momentum.

With just one strike, Von Clay had already been inserted into the sand and fell into a coma.

After a confrontation, one of Crocodile's cadres had completely lost his fighting power. This change also made the cautious Crocodile want to retreat.

The opponent's fighting power has exceeded his estimation. At this time, Crocodile also remembered what the Five Elders said on the phone before.

He finally understood why the content of the deal between the Five Elders and himself was to save his life.

Three natural devil fruit ability users can really threaten his life safety.

Flame-Flame Fruit ability users and Thunder Fruit ability users.

Crocodile quickly connected the performance of Ace and Sabo with the two top natural devil fruits in the devil fruit illustrations, and guessed the truth of the matter.

"Sandstorm!"

Crocodile, who wanted to retreat, opened his hand, and a small tornado of more than ten centimeters high appeared in his palm. Although the tornado was small in size, it was very powerful. The wind vortex generated by the small tornado rolled up the yellow sand on the ground.

As Crocodile threw the small tornado in his hand towards Kuzan and others, the whirlwind quickly expanded and formed a sandstorm in the blink of an eye.

The yellow sand carried by the strong wind whistled towards Kuzan and others. Seeing this, Ace, who was about to continue chasing Daz Bonis, did not wait for Kuzan to make a move. He rushed to the front of everyone, sank his knees, and was surrounded by red flames.

"Hey, kid, don't force yourself!"

Kuzan watched Ace trying to help everyone block the opponent's attack, and reminded him with some concern. Although Ace and Crocodile are both natural devil fruit users, there is a huge gap between users and users.

Crocodile's attack was so powerful that Kuzan was not sure whether Ace, who was so young, could block such an attack.

"Don't worry, Brother Kuzan."

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a warrior who can go to sea with Teacher Zefa!"

Small Ace's words obviously didn't have much persuasiveness, but his actions made Kuzan change his mind.

Great Flame Ring!!!

Ace shouted, and the flames around him rose up like a volcanic eruption, and the sandstorm instantly collided with the fire column.

Boom!!!

A loud roar resounded through the sky, and the sandstorm disappeared without a trace between the flames. The yellow sand fell from the sky like raindrops, and the breeze blew, and the battlefield was already shrouded in a "yellow fog".

Kuzan glanced at Ace in front of him with surprise, and finally a faint smile appeared on his face.

After all, he still underestimated the young people nowadays. As Ace said, he had grown into a warrior at a young age.

With Ace's strength, there are only a few people who can threaten him in a place like the first half of the Grand Line.

If we only compete with the power of devil fruits, even Crocodile may not be able to suppress Ace.

"Swish--"

The yellow sand on the ground was flowing, and Kuzan, who was standing on the sand, suddenly felt his ankles tighten. He lowered his head slightly and looked down, but found that he didn't know when his feet had sunk into the yellow sand. The sand at his feet was like a python, tightly wrapped around his calves, holding Kuzan's whole body into the sand.

"Ah--"

A cry of surprise came from behind, Kuzan quickly turned his head and looked back, and found that Luffy had half of his body sunk into the yellow sand.

Ace and Sabo also noticed the abnormality on the ground one after another. Both of them did not hesitate at all, and directly turned into elements and left the original place, rushing towards Luffy.

Kuzan let his body sink into the sand, and his eyes carefully observed the surrounding environment. His observation Haki quickly extended out, searching for the enemy's figure in this sand rain.

Crocodile, who was not far away, was only a black outline in this sand rain. Although his vision was blocked, Kuzan's observation Haki still accurately captured the opponent's breath.

At the same time, Kuzan also noticed that Daz Bonis, who was not far away, was also sinking into the sand quickly at this time, and his sinking speed was even faster than Luffy, and during this process, Daz Bonis's body did not struggle at all.

Is this because Crocodile's attack chose to attack everyone on the sand indiscriminately?

Such a thought only flashed through his mind, and was immediately denied by Kuzan.

It was meaningless and unnecessary.

And if Crocodile really attacked everyone indiscriminately and killed his subordinates, there was no reason for Daz Bonis not to struggle.

"Want to leave?!"

Kuzan saw through Crocodile's intention in an instant, and finally stopped holding back.

In a breath, Kuzan spit out a thin cloud of ice mist from his mouth, and threw the ice sword in his hand lightly. The blue and crystal sword body was directly inserted into the sand. At the moment the ice sword landed, with the sword body as the center, the ice layer instantly swept around.

In just a blink of an eye, the ice surface had extended to Daz Bonis.

Daz Bonis didn't even have time to make any sound. The whole person and the ground were directly covered by the ice layer, and his body turned into an ice sculpture.

"Swoosh!"

In the sand and rain, Crocodile suddenly felt a chill coming towards him. Without thinking, he flew away from the spot. The next moment he left, the ice surface spread directly to his feet, completely freezing the sand.

Crocodile, who was flying into the air, lowered his head and glanced at the desert that had turned into an ice field, his pupils shrinking.

And at this moment, a cold wind swept over. Crocodile seemed to have sensed something, and hurriedly turned his head back, only to see that a ball of ice mist had appeared behind him at some point. At the same time he turned his head, Kuzan's figure quickly condensed and punched Crocodile in the face.

"Where are you going?"

"Mr. Crocodile."

"I have a lot of questions to ask you, please cooperate with me."

"Otherwise, I will not be gentle."

While speaking, Crocodile's figure had already turned into a black shadow, falling rapidly from the air.

"Bang!!"

As Crocodile fell on the ice, a muffled sound was heard on the battlefield. After taking a solid punch from Kuzan, Crocodile was in a trance and his head was dizzy. For a while, he was unable to get out of this state.

According to rumors, Crocodile once challenged Whitebeard and survived successfully from Whitebeard's hands.

This is indeed the case, but the process may not be as the public imagines.

A challenger of Crocodile's level is not worthy of Whitebeard using too much power, and after realizing the huge gap between himself and the opponent, Crocodile took the initiative to retreat.

His ability is no threat to Whitebeard, but if it is used as a means of escape, the natural devil fruit ability user does have a unique advantage.

Moreover, Whitebeard himself is not the kind of person who eats and kills. He has always kept a blind eye to the ignorant little ghost. When Crocodile escaped, he did not intend to chase the opponent.

Even Whitebeard himself probably didn't expect that his broad-mindedness would one day give the petty thieves the opportunity to brag about their strength and ability.

In the first half of the Grand Line, Crocodile was indeed a figure, but compared with Kuzan, a navy admiral who had undergone rigorous training since childhood, the gap was a bit big.

Even a figure like Kizaru could only be evaluated as "relying on the ability of the fruit" by Zephyr. As one of the three admirals, Kuzan, who spent a lot of time and energy on the practice of domineering, was even able to resist the attack of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.

Kuzan's domineering level is already top-notch. In this world, except for those guys who have mastered the domineering, there are not many people who can suppress him.

With the terrifying natural ability and the spreading strength, even in the navy headquarters full of masters, it is a T1 level existence.

The sky that Crocodile saw was still too small after all. At this time, he was far from being able to compare with a strong man of Kuzan's level.

"Hua La--"

Crocodile supported himself on the ground with his hands, and with his face covered in blood, he struggled to stand up from the ice field. He raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky, only to find that Kuzan's figure had already disappeared in the air.

"Tatta--"

The sound of footsteps came from the side. Crocodile turned his head and looked to both sides. He found that Sabo and Ace had already sandwiched him in the middle, forming a pincer attack.

"Just surrender."

"You can't get away."

A chill came from behind Crocodile. Kuzan's tall figure appeared behind him without knowing when.

Crocodile looked behind him, but his sight was attracted by the ice sculpture on the ice hill in the distance.

MR3 Gal Dino, who was secretly using the ability of the wax wax fruit outside the battlefield, had turned into an ice sculpture without knowing when, standing on the ice hill, reflecting the crystal light under the sunlight.

In just a blink of an eye, several of Crocodile's men had completely lost their combat effectiveness.

And he himself was also injured by Kuzan's attack.

When he stood up, his head was still dizzy, and his body did not recover from Kuzan's heavy blow in a short time.

"."

Blood flowed down from Crocodile's forehead, through the corners of his eyes, and to his chin.

His vision was blurred by the blood. Crocodile, who was slow to react, listened to Kuzan's words of persuasion to surrender, touched the blood on his face, and showed a wild smile on his face.

"Give up?"

"What are you kidding, you bastard?"

Crocodile shouted and was about to take action, but he heard thunder in his ears, and Sabo's figure suddenly appeared above his head, kicking him directly on the shoulder from top to bottom, and the huge force directly pressed Crocodile's body to the ground.

Just as Crocodile barely stood firm, Ace's figure turned into a flash of fire, appeared directly beside him, and kicked him in the popliteal fossa.

Another heavy blow directly made Crocodile's knees soften and hit the ice heavily, and the whole person half-knelt in front of Kuzan.

Ace and Sabo controlled Crocodile's shoulders on the left and right. The huge force suppressed Crocodile and made him unable to stand up. The strength of the two armed color domineering was enough to suppress the young Crocodile.

From beginning to end, Kuzan put his hands in his pockets and watched the scene in front of him quietly, without any sign of continuing to attack.

Seeing Crocodile being controlled, Kuzan lowered his head slightly and looked at the embarrassed Crocodile:

"Crocodile, you are arrested."

Kuzan's shadow enveloped Crocodile. The proud Crocodile raised his head and looked at Kuzan who was looking down at him, his eyes full of anger and hatred.

Humiliation!

This is the real humiliation for him!

But it's a pity.

With his strength, there is no way to fight against Kuzan and other navy

"Huh?!"

"Caught Crocodile?"

"Has Alabasta been transformed into a military government administrative model?"

In Marinford, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who was busy with paperwork, suddenly received a communication from Zefa. Hearing Zefa's various news about Alabasta, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's face also showed a look of surprise.

"Crocodile is useful!"

"Don't send him to the Navy Headquarters first. I will see the current appearance of Alabasta with my own eyes."

"Then make a decision."

After saying that, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi hung up the phone.

"It's interesting."

What Crocodile did in Alabasta has attracted Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's attention. This guy has the potential to be a white glove.

In Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's ideal world, there is no space and value for kings and nobles to exist.

But from the standpoint of the Navy, it is simply impossible to promote his own ideas. There are too many opposing voices, which will make Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's work difficult.

But if we can make good use of people like Crocodile, everything will become much easier. However, we need to put strong leashes on these people, otherwise, it will hurt both ourselves and others.
