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

Chapter 101: A Hard Fight with Sand Crocodiles [33]

clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashing hurts the eardrums.

Shanuo's figure appeared in mid-air, his right arm covered in a richer shade of Armament Haki, and he blocked the fatal blow as if nothing had happened.

this moment.

The faces of the two people were very close.

After looking at each other, Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke and was about to say something when he heard the sound of whistling wind beside his ears.

And Xia Nuo in front of him also spoke in a low voice:

"Mist Foot·Meteorite!"

boom!
A powerful downward kick stirred up a lot of air waves and hit Crocodile's shoulder hard. The crisp sound of broken bones could be clearly heard.

Even though Crocodile reacted and tried his best to block it with his golden hook, he was still smashed into the ground like a meteorite, stirring up dust all over the sky.

"Cough cough..."

He struggled to get up, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, and when he looked at Xia Nuo again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

What fast legs!

This time, even his own observation Haki was unable to react, but compared to this, what was even more exaggerated was the amazing power displayed by this kick!

Where on earth did this monster come from!!!

He couldn't remember the last time he was so overwhelmed by someone in terms of power. Maybe it was that damned Hanafuda? But that was at least five years ago...

No, I have to use my best move!

"Desert Greatsword!"

With this thought in mind, Crocodile's right hand suddenly turned into sand, condensing into a huge sand blade wrapped in armed color, and slashed towards Shano opposite him!
Chi Chi!

This move was fast and fierce, with great momentum. Wherever it passed, the desert was instantly split into two, and dark purple electric sparks were stirred up along the way.

however.

What Crocodile didn't expect was.

The opponent did not dodge or evade, but instead looked at the rapidly approaching sand blade with interest, without even thinking of closing his eyes.

idiot!

Crocodile grinned. This fool actually wanted to take it head-on. If it was just an ordinary "Desert Sword", he still believed that the other party could take it.

But this was a fully enhanced and upgraded version, a true unique skill he had developed only a few months ago. Without even considering it, he dared to rely on his physical body...

Ok?
The next moment, his smile froze on his face.

The giant sand blade, which was powerful enough to split the entire desert, suddenly exploded into countless fine sand powders the moment it collided with Xia Nuo's chest, and fell to the ground with a rustling sound, failing to even cut through the outer layer of flesh.

And the gravel that splashed into the other party's eyes was bounced away as if it hit a solid wall.

Some of it remained on his lower eyelashes, but Xia Nuo simply tilted his head slightly, and it all slid down his cheek...

"Even though I gave you a chance, it's not working out."

Xia Nuo used his index finger to gently lift the last speck of sand from his nose, then looked up at the sand crocodile opposite him, who was still staring blankly.

"Hey, come back to your senses. From now on, it's all my turn."

What do you mean?
Before Crocodile could react, Shano had already stepped into the air with the Moon Step, and his right index finger stabbed continuously at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Every strike utilized the technique of domineering power, accurately flying towards every part of Crocodile's body!
"Flying Finger Spear·Pear Rain!"

Not good! Crocodile's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly used all his strength to dodge using his Observation Haki.

Some parts were elementalized in time and escaped the disaster.

But the speed of the flying finger gun was far beyond Crocodile's expectations.

Accompanied by the sound of "puff puff", several bloody holes were pierced in his knees and shoulders, and blood spurted out.

"erosion……"

Crocodile endured the severe pain, suddenly supported his right hand on the ground, and launched another special skill, "Reincarnation!!!"

Rumble!
In an instant, the entire Whisky Mountain began to shake violently, and huge cracks quickly spread from the ground near the port to the surrounding areas.

Huh?
Xia Nuo's eyebrows raised slightly. The Sand Crocodile had this trick? By turning the surrounding environment into sand, it could quickly replenish its own strength and heal its wounds? Some aspects of the Nature System's abilities were truly buggy.

pity……

If the other party meets me, I will never give him this opportunity!

His mouth grinned from ear to ear, his figure flashed, and he attacked Crocodile on the ground!

"——You're also worthy of doing sit-ups?!"

"Stop him!"

Crocodile screamed hysterically and swung the golden hook suddenly!
As long as he can buy a little more time and turn the entire island into desert, he will not only be able to fully recover from his injuries, but he can also use his fruit ability more unscrupulously!
Swish!

The moment the words fell, countless sand hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed Xia Nuo's legs.

A considerable number of them were entangled with a faint armed color. If entangled, even Shanuo would take some time to break free.

but……

With this speed, how could we stop him?
A hand wrapped in armed sand directly pierced through Shanuo's back, but the next second, the "Shano" who had just been pierced turned into a shadow in the air and disappeared.

Moon Step·Empty Cicada!

He stomped on the air repeatedly in mid-air, his body changing position strangely as his mind moved.

While dodging all the sand hands that were stretched out, his speed did not slow down at all. On the contrary, due to the frequent switching of positions, a series of afterimages appeared in the air like a cicada escaping from its shell!

——This is the profound secret that can only be mastered after practicing the six styles to the pinnacle!
Most Moon Step users, if they learn to do this, will only end up becoming sitting ducks in the air because their frequent turns will affect their speed.

In a flash, Shanuo came to Crocodile unhindered.

Facing the latter's terrified look as he hurriedly looked up, he laughed ferociously and threw an uppercut, sending him flying high into the air!
Swish!
With a muffled sound, Xia Nuo flashed and before the sand crocodile landed on the ground, he appeared again in the air at the same level with him, clenched his fists, and smashed down hard!

This scene was repeated rapidly, and Shanuo's fists punched out continuously at a speed faster than the speed of sound. Each punch either hit the chest or the neck, but all with devastating force.

Boom boom boom!
Crocodile's body was like a rag doll, going up and down in the air, constantly twisting and deforming, and the sound of his bones breaking was like popping beans.

For the last punch, Shanuo pressed his fists together, concentrating all his strength on the front of his fists. The rich Armament Haki almost solidified into substance at this moment.

"Sixth Style Secret Technique: Yamabuki Color Ripple Sprint!!!"

This is a unique skill that Xia Nuo came up with after he perfected the Ripple Fist, combining it with the Six Styles Mystery and comprehending it on his own.

The power is so great that it is enough to flatten mountains!
Boom! ! !
The punch hit Crocodile's chest hard. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and Crocodile's expression was frozen between horror and disbelief.

Immediately—

boom! ! !
A terrifying shock wave erupted from the two of them.

Crocodile's body flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing through several sand dunes before he barely stopped.

"Uh, uh..."

He lay limply beside the pit in the same posture as Yamcha. The golden hook was twisted and deformed, and his luxurious coat was tattered.

The whole person was lying on the sand, shaking and struggling, but his bones were broken and he couldn't even lift a finger.

call!
After finishing a full set of punches, Shano, feeling refreshed, landed beside Crocodile and nodded in praise.

"Even though you're as easy to beat as Ghost Spider, I have to say, you feel really good. That's what the so-called natural type is good about: you can take a beating."

This bastard...!!!
Crocodile almost vomited blood.

But facing Xia Nuo who was getting closer and closer, he chose to hide the resentment in his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Yes, I shouldn't have provoked you. Don't, don't kill me..."

"It's too late to say this now!"

Xia Nuo grabbed his hair and pulled him up like a dead dog, looking straight into his eyes with a smile:

"Well, if you hadn't come to provoke me, I might have spared your life and kicked you back to the New World because you hadn't launched your evil plan yet."

"But you're hunting me down for the Navy? Haha, it's already ridiculous that the Navy is serving the Celestial Dragons like dogs, but there's also someone like you who's willing to serve the Navy like dogs?"

“…This is all just a show for them.”

Crocodile was growing increasingly resentful, but his face showed an expression of someone who had been struggling for a long time before making a decision. He gasped and said with difficulty, "Ahem... ahem, hey, you... a guy like you, a strong man like you, shouldn't you be ambitious too?"

"This, this! Leave me alive, and I'll tell you a startling ancient secret that will help you dominate the entire ocean and even challenge the World Government..."
