Chapter 100: Crocodile's Fall
"An East Sea Island Navy can actually use Armament Haki? The quality of this Armament Haki is so high!"
Looking at the dark in Link's hand, Crocodile's eyes were full of shock.
As someone who had traveled to the New World and fought with the top masters, he naturally understood that the quality of Link's Armament Haki was beyond imagination.
"And there are a lot of these guys! It seems that we need to get rid of one of them as soon as possible!"
Crocodile looked around with his peripheral vision.
At present, the number of masters on Link's side is a bit too large.
In addition to those who are dealing with the cadres, there are a total of three people around him.
Link, Smoker, Luffy.
Soon, he set his sights on Luffy.
The reason is also very simple. Among the three, Luffy is obviously the weakest one.
Crocodile has bad teeth, so he must start from the beginning.
Desert Sword!
As Crocodile waved his hand, a terrifying yellow sand giant sword swept towards Luffy.
Ah!
Seeing the giant yellow sand sword coming towards him, Luffy's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stretched his body in an instant, letting the desert sword pass through his crotch.
"That was close!"
Luffy wiped the sweat from his head. If he had taken this move just now, he would have been dead.
"Then you take my move too! Rubber·Pistol!"
Luffy's arms stretched back very long.
Then he used the reaction force of the rubber and instantly blasted towards Crocodile!
"Is it too wishful to want to attack me without Armament Haki?"
Looking at Luffy's fist flying towards him, Crocodile sneered.
For this kind of fist without Armament Haki, he didn't even want to block it!
Just as Luffy's fist blasted towards Crocodile, Link, who was standing aside, flashed his hands.
Water escape·Mist Hidden Technique!
The thick water vapor instantly filled the entire area around.
Feeling his body suddenly become sticky, Crocodile's pupils shrank immediately.
His sand-like body could not materialize because of the moisture.
"No, I must quickly absorb the moisture from my body!"
Crocodile immediately mobilized the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit, trying to absorb moisture to regain the ability to transform into sand.
But before he could absorb the moisture, Luffy's punch had already hit Crocodile!
Bang!
With just one punch, Crocodile, who was 2.53 meters tall, was instantly knocked away, and even his head felt buzzing from the punch!
It has been many years since his actions in Alabasta.
In the first half of the Grand Line, he could steadily bully the weak with the innate advantages of the natural fruit.
After all, without the armed color domineering, it was not easy for others to hurt him.
Naturally, the so-called usual battle against other pirates to protect Alabasta was not actually a battle, but a massacre.
Over time, Crocodile gradually forgot how he should have fought.
It's like asking a person who hasn't exercised for a long time to suddenly exercise, the other party will definitely not adapt.
At this moment, Crocodile also forgot how he should fight, and finally he was dizzy after just taking Luffy's punch.
"Damn it! If that damn Link hadn't suddenly intervened, how could I have been hit!"
Crocodile gnashed his teeth and roared angrily after being knocked to the ground by a stinky kid who was far inferior to him.
Then he waved his hand, and the yellow sand in his hand turned into a sandstorm.
Sand storm!
The sky-high sandstorm blocked the sun and isolated himself from Luffy.
In this terrifying sandstorm, even if Link used that weird move again, he would be blocked by the sandstorm and could not affect him at all.
"Boy, come again!"
Crescent-shaped sand dunes!
Crocodile laughed wildly, and his right hand was transformed in an instant, turning into a crescent-shaped sand blade.
Once hit by this sand blade, all the water in the body will be sucked out instantly!
This is also Crocodile's absolute killer move!
The high-speed sand knife, plus the sand storm he just used, has blocked all the positions where Luffy can stand!
This move will definitely hit!
"Go to hell!"
The next moment, as Crocodile expected, even though Luffy was agile, he still couldn't avoid his sand blade attack in the end when all landing points were blocked.
However, before Crocodile could enjoy the pleasure of absorbing all the enemy's moisture, a stunned expression first appeared on his face.
A white mist suddenly penetrated into the sand storm, gave him a punch, and saved Luffy by the way, and the moisture that had not been completely sucked out.
When Crocodile stood up again, the group of smoke had turned back to Smoker's appearance.
"Crocodile, your next opponent is me!"
Smoker snorted coldly.
Since learning from Link that Crocodile was not good at domineering, Smoker has become much bolder.
Everyone is a natural type and not good at Haki, so he is not afraid!
What's more, he has a weapon in his hand that has a special attack against natural fruit ability users, the Seastone Tent!
Once hit by it, it can temporarily deprive the ability of the ability user.
It seems that he has what Crocodile has!
He still has what Crocodile doesn't have!
Smoker: "I have the advantage!"
White Fist·Slash!
Smoker's arm suddenly turned into white mist, and only his palm still maintained its entity, holding the ten hands of seastone and hitting Crocodile!
"This is seastone!"
Seeing the ten hands of seastone in Smoker's hand, Crocodile's pupils shrank immediately.
A cage he customized at the Rain Feast was also made of seastone, so he could naturally recognize this material.
If the Armament Haki can only hit the natural fruit ability user!
Then seastone can not only hit the natural fruit ability user, but also directly make the ability user depressed!
It is a pure mechanism restraint!
In this way, if he dares to turn his arm into sand to deal with Smoker like he did with Luffy, he is courting death!
"The weapon is a good one, but you underestimate me too much!"
"Smoker, let the old senior teach you how to use the natural fruit!"
The corners of Crocodile's mouth rose.
Since he didn't dare to fight Smoker head-on, he would just fight remotely!
In addition to consuming physical strength to generate natural power out of thin air, the natural fruit can also freely control the same natural elements.
Just like Monet, the holder of the Snow-Snow Fruit in the original book, can also freely control the snow, Crocodile can also control the sand of Alabasta!
Instantly, there was a loud bang!
The earth seemed to shake suddenly.
Then the yellow sand in the sky suddenly rose behind Crocodile, and quickly condensed into a vast desert storm!
"If it were in other places, my Sand-Sand Fruit might not be so good.
But in Alabasta, a desert country that is naturally suitable for me, it is absolutely unstoppable!"
Crocodile laughed wildly.
"Hey, hey! Everyone is eating natural fruits, isn't this a bit outrageous!"
Smoker looked at the terrifying sandstorm coming towards him, and his face suddenly turned pale.
How come his Smoke-Smoke Fruit has never been able to cause such a big scene? !
"Link, why don't you come to help! Do you want to see me die?"
After seeing that Crocodile could actually summon such a disaster, Smoker also realized that he was indeed no match for Crocodile.
Even though neither of them was good at using Armament Haki, Crocodile's own fruit proficiency and geographical advantages were too obvious.
I can't do anything about it.
"Alas, Colonel Smoker, it seems that you still need to practice more!
You can't even beat a mere Crocodile, otherwise how can I compete with you for merit!"
"But fortunately, this should be his last blow. Otherwise, I guess there is nothing I can do."
As soon as Smoker finished speaking, Link suddenly appeared beside Smoker, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Originally, he was planning to let Smoker, Luffy and others fight Crocodile.
He would just wait for them to defeat Crocodile and take the credit.
He never thought that Crocodile was completely different from the original work. He could actually suppress Smoker and Luffy steadily. Even if Link did not take action, they might die.
"Link, your Armament Haki is indeed very strong, but can you withstand my move?!"
"In this world, only powerful devil fruits are the mainstream!"
Crocodile spread his arms, and the whistling sand and dust were raging.
His move has faintly touched the edge of the awakening of the natural fruit, and maybe he can break through it later!
"Is the fruit ability the mainstream? Crocodile, do you really think so?"
Link shook his head.
Perhaps it was because the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit was indeed too powerful.
As long as he was slightly proficient in the fruit ability, Crocodile could become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But the easier it is to get power, the easier it is to become dependent.
It is precisely because the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit is too strong and easy to use that Crocodile lacks the training of Haki.
"Crocodile, only Haki is above everything!"
With a terrifying spirit, a dark lightning appeared in Link's hand!
Boom!
Link's fist wrapped in black lightning hit Crocodile's desert storm!
Can natural disasters really be countered by human power?
If it were before today, Crocodile would not believe it.
However, after seeing Link's attack, he changed his mind.
Link's fist wrapped in black lightning not only pierced through the desert storm he released, but also pierced through his chest and all his ambitions!
"Devil Fruit, Pluto, Haki... Hehe, is it possible that the direction I have been working towards is wrong?"
