I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

"Sanji, Chopper! Go help Zoro! He's fighting Crocodile in the VIP room of the Rain Banquet!"

"It's okay, Miss Vivi. Although that green-haired guy is a pervert, he is still very reliable at critical moments." Sanji comforted Vivi while helping her untie the ropes.

Vivi, who escaped during the battle between Zoro and Crocodile, successfully reunited with Sanji and Chopper who had distracted the navy.

"We have to go back to rescue Luffy and the others, and then go to Aruba together to stop the rebels. That transvestite imitated my father's face, deceived everyone, and started the war."

Hearing the urgency of the situation, Sanji and the others followed Vivi and hurried back to the Rain Banquet VIP Room.

……

The VIP room was in a mess at this moment. The original tables, chairs and benches were gone. All the old sand had absorbed the water and turned into sand for attack.

And all around, one could vaguely see Zoro moving quickly with a razor, chopping the sand controlled by Crocodile.

This duel is quite similar to the style of Sandstorm Crocodile VS Rock Zoro, but Crocodile is not carrying a gourd, but Zoro is carrying a wooden barrel.

However, every time Zoro attacked, he had to spray water on his sword, which greatly limited Zoro's attack speed. Moreover, Feilong and Shishige, who had stronger lethality, would shake off the water droplets on their swords in advance and could not perform a single blow, so both sides were in a tough battle.

"Damn it! What on earth does that woman Nico Robin want to do?" Old Sand kept complaining about his partner while controlling Sand Zoro's fierce attack. His body was covered in blood, with several wounds on his arms and chest, and even a cut on his face. He looked very embarrassed.

Yes, when he was being entangled by Zoro, Robin chuckled for some reason and went out inexplicably. It was because of this that Vivi was able to escape quietly.

As expected of the boss of the Baroque Studio Assassination Organization, Crocodile saw that he was no match for Zoro in terms of physical skills, and his abilities were greatly limited by the terrain, so his tactics became more sinister. He sneered at the Straw Hat Pirates in the cage:

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

I saw the element in his right hand transform into a crescent-shaped sand blade and slash towards the cage.

Zoro knew that this slash would absorb all the moisture in the target's body. Although there was seastone blocking it, considering Crocodile's strong ability to control sand, there was a high possibility that the sand would penetrate through the gaps in the cage.

"shave!"

In desperation, Zoro could only stand in front of the cage:

"Two-sword style sound wave!"

The sand blade collided with the high-speed airflow created by the double swords, turning into sand and gravel and scattering in all directions.

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you still use such a shameless fighting method against a nobody like me. Aren't you ashamed?" Zoro decided to start with some trash talk.

"Hahaha, I'm the leader of an assassination organization. Do you think I'd talk to you about the spirit of a warrior under such unfavorable circumstances?" Crocodile wasn't buying it: "Kid! If you value your companions so much, then just stand there and wait to die!"

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile's hands turned into elements, transforming into four large sand blades that slashed towards Zoro.

Zoro raised his two swords: "Three Swords Style: One Hundred Eight Trouble Phoenix!"

The four large sand blades were chopped into pieces by three strikes, and the two men started another wave of long-range fighting.

At this moment, although Zoro blocked all of Old Sand's fierce attack, the sand blades that were chopped into pieces by Zoro's slashes turned into gravel, which invisibly eroded the moisture in Zoro's body.

The more Zoro fought, the drier his mouth felt. The people watching the fight in the cage next to him could see that Zoro's face was obviously sunken, which was an obvious symptom of dehydration.

"Zoro! Drink some water!" Nami kept reminding him.

Lao Sha's control over the power of the fruit is really detailed. At some point, tiny gravel had begun to invade the bucket behind him. Now, every time he drinks a sip of water, he has to spit out sand.

Coupled with the hook coated with poison, it is hard to defend against, and Zoro is somewhat passive.

Shit! The water in the bucket is almost gone. If this continues, he’ll die here.

In fact, Zoro had already tried his best and was cursing in his heart. How did Water Luffy defeat Crocodile? If it wasn't because of the protagonist's halo, then Crocodile was careless and didn't use his flash.

Just when Zoro was in trouble!

"Shourou!"

"Carved hoof!"

Accompanied by two angry shouts, two black shadows rushed towards Crocodile like lightning.

Crocodile's body was kicked to pieces by the black shadow's hooves and feet, and instantly turned into countless gravel scattered all over the ground. However, these gravel quickly gathered together and re-formed his body.

Seeing this, Zoro immediately seized the opportunity and sprayed water on the sword: "Tiger Hunting!"

Lao Sha quickly raised his left hand to defend himself, but was still knocked back more than ten steps by the powerful force.

"Sanji, Chopper! Go and save Luffy and the others!" Zoro shouted as he took out a small saw from his arms and threw it to Sanji.

At that moment, Crocodile was about to attack once again, transforming into an elemental form, aiming directly at Sanji. Without hesitation, Zoro sprayed some water droplets into the air, then swung his sword and slashed fiercely at the sand. Crocodile had no choice but to quickly withdraw his attack.

"Where do you want to go? Your opponent is me!" Zoro raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a wicked smile.

Old Sand's face turned very gloomy, and he began to frantically launch sand blades in the direction of Sanji and the others. Zoro stood firmly in front of them, brandishing his two swords, constantly chopping off the endless stream of sand blades.

Sanji was also very angry. The hardness of seastone was too high. A small saw could not even cut a cut in it and it was smoothed out.

"It's useless. Seastone is harder than diamond. We need the key." Smoker, smoking a cigar in the cage, calmly handed over his weapon. "Roronoa's bucket is almost dry. I'll lend you my Tenju. It's made of seastone."

"Navy?" Sanji was shocked. "Why are you there?"

"I've always been here!" Smoker roared.

"Zoro! Take it!" Sanji threw the ten hands at Zoro.

Zoro quickly retracted a sword to catch the ten hands, and with a stick, he dispersed the incoming sand. After putting away the other two swords, he grinned and said, "Old Sand, are you prepared for defeat?"

Lao Sha's expression was solemn. "Mr. Swordsman, what do you want? Money? Fame? I can give you all of these. With your skills, there's no need for you to stay in an unknown pirate group. Let's work together! Alabasta hides the secret of ancient weapons. Now my plan is about to succeed. Then, with the help of ancient weapons, how about we reach the summit of the New World?"

Instigate rebellion now? Are you stupid or am I?

Zoro grinned, "It seems you're prepared for defeat."

"razor!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zoro disappeared, and the next moment Zoro's voice came from the roof: "One Sword Style·Flying Dragon·Flame!"

Everyone looked up and saw a green light coming out of his body, like a green flame, and he jumped towards Crocodile.

"Desert Greatsword!" Old Sand also rushed towards Zoro.

state!

The two men crossed each other, and the ten hands with green flames broke Lao Sha's desert sword, and with a stick, he knocked Lao Sha to the ground.

Then Zoro used his ten hands to stick to Crocodile's back, and the seastone made Crocodile unable to move.

"Well done! Zoro!" Luffy in the cage.

"It's a piece of cake, Captain!"

Then Zoro grinned wickedly and slapped Lao Sha's slicked-back hair. "Pretentious? You're still showing off, and smoking a cigar? Hey, Weiwei, this guy's head feels good. Do you want to give him a couple of blows to vent your anger?"

Outside the cage, Weiwei's eyes were moist, she was crying and laughing at the same time; inside the cage, Smoker quietly extinguished the cigar in his hand...

Ding! Defeat Crocodile, the mastermind behind the Alabasta rebellion, and earn the gratitude of No. 6, which rewards you with +1000 Love Points.
