Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2485 Let it play with your genie!

Doberman's afterimages clearly used the 'Seeing and Hearing Kill' technique to conceal his aura.

But Crocodile was too lazy to distinguish which one was the real body.

The moment Sha Lan released her, the world changed color.

An indescribable, terrifying suction force appeared out of nowhere, affecting everything within a radius of several kilometers.

Regardless of size, they flocked to the sand scrolls like pilgrims worshipping a king.

They seemed to have lost all weight, forcibly pulled by the visible wind and sand.

Swallowed into the rapidly forming sandstorm vortex, it was ground into particles of different materials.

[Boom!]

In the blink of an eye, a sand tornado appeared, its diameter exceeding 100 meters and its height reaching over 1,000 meters.

It rose from the ground with a deafening roar, soaring straight into the starry sky and the full moon.

Whether it was the incoming eerie green wind blades or his dozens of swift, wind-like afterimages of Doberman,

The moment they entered the sandstorm zone, they were like snowflakes thrown into a furnace.

It was torn apart, annihilated, and vanished without even causing a ripple.

This ever-expanding salon roll is not just attacking Doberman.

It was more like an indiscriminate natural disaster.

The entire ruined city, rewound by time travel, trembled once more before this destructive power.

The skeletons of skyscrapers were uprooted and swept away by the sandstorm, disappearing in an instant.

The solid roads and earth were peeled away layer by layer, exposing deeper layers of rock, which then crumbled and disintegrated, becoming part of the sandstorm.

Everything within their sight was being greedily devoured and destroyed by this colossal sand beast.

Doberman's true form sensed a deadly crisis the instant the sandstorm rose.

He exerted all his strength to force the 'Wind-Entwined Armor' of the 'Teigu' Stormbringer to fly backward as desperately as possible.

The blade danced wildly in his hand, unleashing a continuous stream of sword winds that created a relatively stable safe zone in front of him.

But the terrifying wind was still pulling at his body, and the violent sand was like countless files, relentlessly wearing down his Armament Haki.

Doberman felt like a small boat in a storm.

Fortunately, the general's combat prowess was genuine, and after ten seconds, he was finally out of the sandstorm's range.

He looked rather disheveled.

He leaped and tumbled through the air, landing in a wasteland several kilometers away.

When he raised his head again.

Looking at the sand torrents that were still wreaking havoc, his eyes were filled with horror and a hint of despair.

How do you fight against this kind of opponent?
The difference between a general and a lieutenant general is actually this great.

It seems that the only option for now is to avoid direct confrontation and try to stall for time until the fifth day.

But is it really possible to do something like this?
【call out----】

【boom! 】

Doberman was slammed back to the ground like a cannonball, carving a deep trench in the sand.

The Imperial Arm, Storm Cutter, slipped from his grasp, spinning several times in the air before plunging into the distant sand.

He struggled to get up but spat out a mouthful of blood.

Finally, he collapsed helplessly to the ground, his consciousness fading into complete darkness.

Crocodile appeared amidst the sandstorm and glanced at the long sword.

"The secret technique that grants someone three seconds of wind elemental power every ten minutes is quite interesting."

He looked up at the sky.

The midnight moonlight before dawn has turned into the blazing midday sun.

"Ten hours, I can endure it longer than I expected."

Crocodile offered a nonchalant comment, then looked back into the void: "Next."

May 20th.

12:33 PM.

Just as Doberman was teleported out of the battlefield to receive emergency medical care from the medical team.

The third challenger entered the fray without giving Crocodile much time to rest.

Or perhaps he simply gave up on resting; it wasn't even a proper warm-up, so he figured he shouldn't waste his time.

Charlotte Daifuku.

The third son of the Charlotte family.

He was tall, nearly five meters in height, with a golden buzz cut and slightly upturned lips.

Unlike Doberman's sharp and piercing aura, his presence was more unpredictable and elusive.

"Crocodale."

Dafu licked his lips and sneered, "My mother thinks highly of me. This position of general is just the right gift for her!"

Compared to Capone Becky and Doberman before him, he seemed much more confident.

"Another dreamer," Crocodile scoffed.

He raised his right hand, which was adorned with various gemstone rings, his fingers slightly bent, and an arrogant expression on his face.

"I've already said, none of you will survive five days."

"Want to be a general?"

Go find those who are willing to give you alms.

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Charlotte Daifuku hadn't expected Crocodile's words to be so harsh.

His heavy, panting laughter, in particular, made it hard for him to control his emotions.

"How dare you say that!"

"You can only laugh now!"

"I'm not in the same league as those two. Come out, Lamp Demon!"

Amidst the shouts, he rubbed the skin of his waist.

A thick cloud of blue smoke, carrying the scent of lamp oil, rapidly billowed out.

It quickly coalesced in mid-air into a gigantic, muscular, lamp demon wielding a long-handled broadsword.

The lamp demon had fierce eyes, let out a fierce roar, and had an exceptionally powerful aura.

"The Demon's Detailed Analysis!"

Charlotte Daifuku waved her hand, and the Lamp Demon brandished his enormous long-handled sword.

With a sonic boom shriek tearing through the air and sparks generated by friction, it slashed vertically towards Crocodile's location.

In an instant.

A blade of light, hundreds of meters long, suddenly appeared.

however.

Crocodile did not look at the commotion above.

His gaze pierced through the slash and landed on Charlotte Daifuku.

"Observation Haki is good, but it's a pity that it allows you to foresee the future."

He had a thought in his mind.

His aura suddenly became ethereal and elusive, a technique known as the "Seeing and Hearing Kill."

Dafu across from him only saw a few seconds of the future 'before his eyes'.

Suddenly everything became chaotic.

Instead, a chill ran through me, as if I had been completely seen through.

at the same time.

The Lamp Demon's sword flashed down from the sky, but Crocodile remained standing in place.

However, the ground, buildings, and metal structures around him are undergoing large-scale desertification.

It surged violently, converged wildly, and compressed itself into shape.

In the blink of an eye, a huge, thick, eerie sand tail with dark blue patterns on its surface was formed.

He rose up from behind Crocodile, blocking the incoming demonic blade head-on.

During this process, the complete form comes into everyone's view.

It's actually a 1:1 replica of the 'One-Tailed' Shukaku.

Although it is merely a creation of the Sand-Sand Fruit's power.

However, it contains a portion of the chakra that Shukaku deliberately reserved for Crocodile before he disintegrated his body.

Therefore, Charlotte Daifuku, who was present at the scene, could sense the ferocious aura of the tailed beast emanating from it.

Actually, if it were the previous Shukaku, it wouldn't matter even if its true form appeared.

In the eyes of these admirals, only the Nine-Tails among the tailed beasts of the ninja world is worthy of attention.

But the 'Shukaku' in front of us is being controlled by Crocodile.

"Let it play with your genie!"

"What did you say?"

Charlotte Daifuku's expression changed drastically, and she shouted furiously:
"There's a limit to looking down on people, you despicable bastard!"

however.

Regardless of what Crocodile thinks, there is Shukaku behind him.

Upon hearing the instruction, she immediately stuck out her round belly.

It spews powerful wind projectiles at the Lamp Demon in the air.

Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!
　I'll be taking a day off tomorrow as usual.
