Chapter 174 The confrontation between sand and thunder!
Ron watched silently, taking in the entire situation in just a few seconds.
He didn't know why Crocodile appeared suddenly. There was no possibility of such a trend in the known intelligence.
The only explanation is the 'strength' that I can't figure out
Think about it carefully, if you want to create drought in Alabasta for many years, is it really enough to just rely on sandstorms?
He thought of this performance example of Crocodile extracting water.
Then he thought of what Nami said before, and the heavy rain in La Rohana.
A vague line connected these together, and then the guesses that Ron didn't know emerged in his thinking.
A known,
After awakening from the animal devil fruit.
It further enhances the ability to withstand beatings and the health bar, and at the same time, it will be strengthened a second time based on the animal characteristics represented by the fruit itself.
The awakening of the superhuman devil fruit,
It is to allow the superhuman demonic ability that can only affect itself to have advanced characteristics that affect the outside world and even permanently affect it.
So.
What is the awakening of the natural fruit among the three devil fruits?
There is no answer, but there is an example.
During the Punk Hassad Island Incident, Kuzan and Sakaski fought for ten days and ten nights.
It permanently changed the local climate environment, which remained unchanged for more than a year.
perhaps,
The awakening of the natural devil fruit may further strengthen the concept of 'natural disaster'.
Just like hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, they have become real moving natural disasters.
So based on this, we can quickly come to a rough conclusion as to why Crocodile appeared here.
Crocodile is the awakener of the natural rustling fruit and has a wide range of corresponding perception abilities.
This ability is not a state of wide range of seeing, hearing, color and perception, but a high level of perception of things that correspond to one's own demonic abilities in a certain field.
‘Are you still underestimating it? ’
Ron sighed in his heart, but did not blame himself or regret that he had not thought of this.
Just like he told himself when he crushed Robin.
He is not a smart person, he just has a lot of information and is willing to think about it.
Without the detailed information about the awakening of the natural system in hand, this judgment would naturally be something he was not aware of before.
rather say,
He realized that Crocodile's strength was vague and it was difficult to judge the upper and lower limits.
That's why the revolutionary army was brought in.
The current result is caused by the uncertainty contained in fuzzy information.
It's not that he clearly knew the information but failed to take countermeasures in time.
It’s not your fault, that’s all.
If you really want to say where the mistake is, it's probably that you didn't seriously realize the ups and downs of your luck.
When he gets what he wants, the things he doesn't want come close.
The balance is such a thing.
The difference is that this time he is really defenseless.
but!
It doesn't mean that Ron can only wait for death. Even if the King Qiwuhai is in front of him, he still has a bargaining chip!
'You need opportunities. If you don't have domineering power, you can only rely on sea water and sea tower stone bullets. ’
Ron quietly circulated his internal energy and poured Qi into the whole body of the light armor.
Body-protecting Qi-!
The skills extracted at the same time as phantom flight were finally constructed into the most basic air armor through continuous practice.
He is now covered with thick armor
The outermost layer of light armor, the crystals under the light armor, and the sol-like air between the two layers.
In order to prevent the penetration of sand, he even launched the long-lost protection of avoiding arrows.
This is all done in just seconds.
Robin's regression was like a fuse, igniting the ruthless battle!
"Very good, in that case, don't regret it!"
Crocodile laughed angrily and raised his hand suddenly.
The endless grains of sand are like sharp swords, penetrating and tearing through the walls from the outside world, surrounding the King of the Desert.
Finer dust blew into the conference hall, making everything blurry and hazy.
A deadly murderous intention is brewing.
boom-!
Almost the next moment, Ron opened his mouth and spat out, and a thunderbolt exploded out of thin air.
The ferocious purple lightning turned into a sharp sword.
During the roar, the violent thunder ripped open the heavily protective sand shield.
Heat and thunder dance indoors.
Wherever the thunder sword passes.
The sand grains were melted on the spot by the high-temperature lightning into turbid dark glass fragments, which splashed everywhere.
The sand shield held up by Crocodile, who reacted immediately, was torn apart by the lightning sword, leaving a cylindrical half-man hole.
In the breach, Crocodile's entire upper body seemed to have been eaten away by something.
The waist section turned into a turbid glass color, looking back through the section.
You can also discover the light from the outside world.
But Ron didn't dare to stop. An attack that lacked the coverage of armed domineering energy couldn't kill a natural demonic user at all!
The sand in the sky gathered in the gap as if it was alive, and instantly transformed into Crocodile's upper body.
Half-opening and closing his mouth, he made a mocking sound.
"Hahaha, don't you have domineering power? It seems like you are just a trash fish in the East China Sea. It's better to let the people behind you come out..."
Crocodile stopped talking, because his recovered eyes allowed him to see a strange scene like a mirage.
The raging tide created a whirlpool of water out of thin air, and the smell of sea in the air clearly told him.
This is - sea water!
"!"
Crocodile's eyes tightened, and the sand surrounding him turned into sharp swords and tore open the floor beneath his feet.
As he fell down, he raised his hand and created a sand storm!
The huge sandstorm surrounding the Tower Hotel in the outside world shrank inward simultaneously, and the swirling sand particles tore apart the walls.
The whole building made an overwhelmed creaking and whining sound.
In a blink of an eye,
Endless sand meets tens of thousands of tons of sea water.
The seawater and sand merged together, and the water was drained by the devil's power to turn into a clot.
Then it was thrown away from the eye of the wind by the spinning force of the sand storm.
Nami, who had just left the Tower Hotel, was holding a magic weather wand and was frowning while stroking her strange skin.
Hearing the loud noise, he turned his head and saw the towering hotel in his beautiful eyes.
In the blink of an eye, it was torn into pieces by the sandstorm.
A fountain surrounded by agglomerates rose into the sky from the eye of the storm, raining sea water on the city of La Rohana!
"Crocodale!"
"Long live the King of the Desert!"
"Quickly kill those evildoers!"
Residents of La Rohana cheered for their hero.
It is hoped that the other party can kill the attacked villains and bring stable order to the city.
ironnically.
The so-called heroes have always been the source of Alabasta's suffering, and the villains who were dealt with are the true 'heroes' who tear apart the disaster.
It's just that neither side agrees with the concepts of heroes and villains.
'problem occurs. ’
Nami instantly realized that the weather change she had just sensed was a thunderstorm.
At the same time, the cheers of the crowd also made her realize who the enemy was.
Crocodile should have been left to deal with last!
She moved forward subconsciously, wanting to get closer to the thundering ruins, even if everything she saw was blocked by a sandstorm.
Nami knew that Ron was a very reliable man.
To be so feared by him is obviously an absolutely powerful enemy, and he is not the kind of strong person who can be defeated by relying on numbers.
That's why he traded with the revolutionary army.
but,
She couldn't abandon the man who occupied more and more positions and weight in her heart.
Subconsciously, I wanted to get closer and help him.
but,
Nami was grabbed by Nokigao in the next second.
"Calm down! What you should do now is not to rush forward stupidly.
Instead, try to help Ron as much as possible! Use the magic weather wand to change the weather! "
Noki Gao was far calmer than the panicked Nami, and she clearly remembered what Ron said.
Crocodile is not an opponent that can be defeated by siege.
Especially on a desert home court like Alabasta.
In the past, the combat power of her and Nami to support them would most likely not be of help but would become a weakness.
It's better to give Ron as much advantage as possible from a distance.
Thunder and Fire-!
the other side,
Zoro, who realized something was wrong, was also rushing back, and there were even many senior agents from Baroque Works.
The plan that was originally planned to be implemented slowly suddenly reached the critical point of the final battle.
The Tower Hotel was now in a state of ruins.
The violent sand storm was like the palm of a giant. The sand grains in the storm twisted and deformed the entire building due to the force of rotation.
With a loud crunching sound, the thick stones that made up the ground shattered.
The four-winged angel vibrated its wings and opened a downward passage, and endless sand flooded in from the outside world.
It turned into a sharp desert blade, with stabs coming from all directions.
Seeing that he was about to be penetrated into a hedgehog, Ron opened his mouth and spit out, and the hot flames instantly filled his whole body.
boom--!
The temperature in the narrow space rose rapidly, and the burning Chi Yanya expanded like a sea tide.
The numerous desert blades that stabbed him suddenly melted into turbid glass crystals.
As grains of sand and turbid glass flew across the sky, a figure suddenly appeared.
Crocodile, who was hiding in the sand, waved his hand, and his entire arm became huge and turned into a crescent-shaped sand blade.
A line of slashes whizzed towards Ron,
This is a terrifying move that will absorb all the water once struck by the sand blade.
"call-!"
Ron's red eyes rolled, he turned his head and opened his mouth, and a thunderbolt exploded.
The sand blade that was slashed instantly exploded into reflective fragments.
The thunderbolt continued unabated, piercing through Crocodile's figure in an instant, causing the opponent to explode like a balloon.
The flying sand was like a signal, causing the remaining sand to turn into sand spears and stab the four-winged angel fiercely.
With a sound like fingernails scratching a blackboard, scratches appeared on the armor made of flowing light.
not far away,
Crocodile, half of his face revealed, sneered. He was about to say something but suddenly exploded.
boom--!
The light arrived before the sound, and the thunder spears crisscrossing the front enveloped the violent lightning and exploded.
Tree-like lightning lines traveled hundreds of meters, melting tons of sand into glass crystals.
Floor after floor collapsed, and houses were torn apart.
Witness the fight between sand and thunder.
I'm coming.
