One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 100: You are so domineering [23]

"have to."

After hearing this, the crew knew that Shanuo was going to eat alone again.

Since the captain wants to do it himself, how can I get a share?

Kuina sighed, put away the Wado Ichimonji with a lack of interest, turned around and was the first to walk towards the boat.

The others also followed with sighs. Surprisingly, no one raised any objections the entire time, and no one reminded Xia Nuo to be careful or anything like that.

This made Crocodile frown.

What's wrong with this group of people?

Why is this the reaction?!

Normally, shouldn't they be in a panic, and then encourage each other, unite and fight to the death?

The most hateful thing was that little girl with orange hair. After hearing Xia Nuo say that she would do it herself, she turned around and looked at him with pity and sympathy.

What the hell are you doing? ! !
Crocodile felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He thought he attached great importance to this group of people, especially Xia Nuo.

As soon as he left the East China Sea, a bounty of over 100 million was offered. Even Vice Admiral Ghost Spider of the Navy Headquarters failed to make it and fell into the hands of the enemy.

He's indeed a troublesome little devil.

You must be prepared and not underestimate it.

Otherwise, why would he choose this island as the battlefield?
——You know, most of Whiskey Mountain is desert!

And he, as the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, is undoubtedly the King of the Desert!
"No one has ever been able to defeat me in the desert."

Crocodile's face darkened, and he slowly raised his right index finger. "Of course, no one can escape from my palm in the desert!"

A bunch of unknown people, dare to underestimate him, then pay the price!!!
"Desert...Sunflowers!"

The ground of the entire port suddenly began to turn into sand. Within a few breaths, a huge vortex of quicksand formed under everyone's feet.

At this time, the crew members had not yet reached the shore and were about to be swallowed by the whirlpool.

Moon step!

Swish, swish, swish! Kuina, Zeff, Nojigo, Smoker...all flew into the air. Even Nami turned into a firebird, flapping her wings and easily dodged the desert vortex.

"Wow, Nami!" Nojigo turned around in surprise. "You can actually fly? When did you learn this trick?"

"I already knew how to do it, but it consumes a lot of energy. I can't fly very far. It's not as practical as the Moon Step."

"That idiot Shichibukai really deserves a beating. The captain said he wanted to fight him one-on-one, but he still insisted on attacking us."

"Indeed, he keeps whining. If the captain hadn't stopped me, I would have kicked him a long time ago..."

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they flew towards the deck.

No one paid any attention to the terrifying vortex on the ground, and no one paid any attention to Crocodile, whose face had turned ashen.

"Do you feel like a clown?"

Shano's voice drew Crocodile's gaze over, and he saw the black-haired boy opposite him grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth:

"It's okay, don't worry, you just arrived in Gotham."

Swish!
Before he finished speaking, the black-haired boy in front of him disappeared without a trace.

Where did it go? Crocodile's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to be arrogant. He activated the elemental transformation without hesitation, turning into yellow sand and scattering in all directions. However—

"too slow."

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Crocodile felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then his whole body was grabbed by a big hand and thrown to the ground!
how did you do that?
There was astonishment in his eyes. He had clearly already transformed into an element, so logically, he shouldn't be able to be touched at all...

Boom!
The back of Crocodile's head made close contact with the ground. His eyes went dark, his ears buzzed, and his body plowed uncontrollably like a rag doll, leaving dozens of meters long sand marks.

But at this moment, in his blurred and distorted vision, he saw clearly what was surging like black ink in Xia Nuo's hand.

Armed and domineering?
How could it be possible! This technique, which only a few people in the entire park have mastered, was mastered so skillfully by a newcomer who had just climbed the Upside-Down Mountain?

"You seem surprised?"

Xia Nuo's calm voice came, "You don't dare to go to the New World. You've been in Paradise for so long, have you forgotten what it feels like to get punched in the head?"

Crocodile struggled to get up from the sand pit. The blood from the corner of his mouth stained his collar and cigar red.

He spat the half-smoked cigar aside and when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"It was a bit unexpected."

Crocodile lit a new cigar and sneered, "I didn't expect you could do this, but Haki... after all, in the New World, even the small fry can master it, so who can't do it?"

hum!
He activated the power that had not been used seriously for many years. At this moment, his entire left arm, including the golden hook that looked like a scorpion's tail, was stained dark.

"Wow!"

Xia Nuo's tone was not only teasing, but also a hint of surprise. "So you can be domineering too?"

His surprise came from the heart.

"nonsense!"

Crocodile's face turned dark. He was a man who had fought with Whitebeard. How could he not even possess dual-color Haki!
"So... if you think you can defeat me just by mastering Armament Haki, you're completely wrong..."

Bang!
Before he could finish his words, the fist shadow had already rapidly enlarged in his eyes. His pupils suddenly constricted, and his head suddenly exploded -

The fist passed through, but there was no feeling of hitting anything solid. The body of the sand crocodile quickly reassembled a few meters away, revealing the face with a cigar in its mouth.

"Have you seen?"

Seeing Shano's attack miss, Crocodile laughed heartily despite the cold sweat on his temples:

"At first, I was able to capture you because my transformation into an element was too casual. As long as I was on guard, how could you possibly capture my true form?"

"is it?"

A nonchalant chuckle echoed through the wind and sand. "But my warm-up has only just ended. Can you really react to my next move?"

In the darkness of the night, the man's body suddenly squatted slightly, and his muscles suddenly tightened layer by layer like a precision machine.

Crocodile inexplicably had a bad premonition and immediately pushed his observation Haki to the extreme.

"shave!"

The ground exploded, and the figure in front of him disappeared in an instant. Crocodile's eyes flashed red, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a sinister smile: "I got you!"

The arm connected by the golden hook suddenly twisted and stretched strangely, and with a sudden swing, the hook tip was wrapped with a heart-pounding black aura, and stabbed towards the void above and behind him like a poisonous snake!
