One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

But it wasn't so big that it was impossible to fight back.

Once the erosion was over, Abel leaped off the white giant.

Crocodile also emerged from the deep pit as sand. As he reformed into human form, he enlarged his right arm into a crescent-shaped sand blade and slashed directly at Abel.

Crescent-shaped sand dunes!

This is a terrifying move that will instantly drain all the moisture from a person's body if they are hit by the sand blade!

Faced with this move, Abel finally took it seriously.

The talent [Heart of the Otherworlders] was instantly activated, and he entered the form of the Otherworlders. His speed, strength, and defense were all enhanced by 300%, and he felt no pain at all.

Then he activated his markings, and the mysterious [Wings of Darkness] appeared between his forehead.

Physical fitness and reaction time have been greatly improved once again!

Swish!

Abel dodged Crocodile's attack with a quick movement and appeared behind him, thrusting his spear straight at his head.

Crocodile had no time to dodge, but with just a thought, he transformed himself into a sandstorm.

While Armament Haki can detect the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, it requires 'contact' as a prerequisite.

If the user transforms into an elemental form to avoid the attack beforehand, they can still leverage their advantages.

Crocodile, transformed into sandstorm, showed no intention of leaving. He circled around Abel and reached out with his right hand to grab Abel's head.

His right hand can absorb all the moisture from any object it touches.

Before he could even touch Abel, he was already stabbed to pieces by the knight's lance in Abel's hand.

Having suffered another minor setback, Crocodile was unable to break free of his elemental form and could only create a sandstorm to create distance.

This was the moment Abel had been waiting for.

"Baby-5, Soul Resonance!"

When the wavelengths of their souls were completely aligned, Abel's aura surged, and the lance in his hand began to undergo tremendous changes.

First, the lance suddenly expanded, as if an invisible force was connecting each strip of special material together.

It appears to be hollowed out, but in reality, it is still very closely connected.

Then a dazzling golden light circled the lance several times around its shaft, radiating brilliance!

"Spear of the End, go!"

Abel threw it with all his might, and then a shocking scene unfolded.

The moment the spear of finality flew out, it was like a streak of light that pierced into an invisible mirror and disappeared completely!

When it reappeared, it had already pierced through Crocodile's elementalized body.

Crocodile, who had been in his elemental form, was already on high alert, but he still showed an incredulous expression and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

After being forced to break free of his elemental form, he discovered a bloody hole in his right shoulder!

It was the spot where that stream of light had passed through during the elemental transformation!

How can this be?

Even Abel couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He never expected that the guaranteed hit effect of the End Spear would be so amazing!

Even elemental transformation can't evade this shot!

However, the consumption was also considerable. Baby-5's soul strength had already undergone four evolutions, but it had just consumed nearly half of its soul power.

It is evident that the more extreme the additional special effects, the more soul power is consumed.

Moreover, that last strike, the Final Spear, was aimed at Crocodile's head, but it only hit his shoulder.

This means that 'guaranteed hit' only applies to the target he has locked onto, but the final location of the hit is not always the same.

Unless the target stands still.

Abel reached out and beckoned, and the knight's lance stuck in the desert instantly transformed into a streak of light and returned to his hand.

Crocodile's mouth was stained with blood, and he looked somewhat disheveled.

Before making a move, he never expected that his opponent would be so difficult to deal with.

This is just one of the officers in the Don Quixote family.

If all of Doflamingo's subordinates were this strong, that would be terrifying...

No no no, absolutely impossible!

Crocodile did not believe that the other members of the Don Quixote family possessed such abilities.

This kid in front of me is definitely not simple!

Just as Crocodile was starting to imagine something again, Abel made another throwing motion.

Abel always gratefully accepted the whetstones that came to him and then made good use of them!

The Spear of the End strikes once more!

The target remains the enemy's head.

"here we go again!"

Upon seeing this, Crocodile's gaze sharpened instantly, and he stared intently at the spear. His entire body instantly turned into sand and merged into the desert.

He didn't believe he could find his true form this time.

But some attacks are just that unreasonable.

The Spear of the End, accelerated to its maximum speed, disappeared from sight once again. Then, a streak of light, exactly the same as before, suddenly appeared and crashed into the earth!

It was as if the attack had traveled through time and space, leaving a huge crater in the desert.

This time, even Abel himself didn't know whether he had hit his opponent or not.

Then, as gusts of sand gathered in the deep pit, Crocodile was once again forced out of his elemental state.

His left arm was broken and bleeding profusely.

The poisoned golden hook lay at his feet, its joint still stained with blood.

If Crocodile hadn't quickly moved to a different position at the last moment, sensing the impending death, and then used his left arm to shield his head, that shot might have already killed him.

"What kind of ability is this?"

Crocodile's face was ashen, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.

Aside from the time he challenged Whitebeard, he hadn't suffered such a great loss in a long time.

Is that move really impossible to defend against or dodge?

But it seems he no longer needs to worry about this problem.

When Abel recalled the Knight's Lance, Baby-5, having exhausted too much of her soul power, had to dissolve the soul resonance and revert to her human form.

Chapter 439 The Sand Crocodile, I'm Going to Eat It!

"You've worked hard. Go rest with Big White for a while. I can manage on my own from now on."

Big White flew down at just the right moment, picked up Baby-5, and then quickly took off again.

Abel was left alone to face the sand crocodile.

"It seems luck wasn't on your side; those two shots you risked everything for didn't kill me."

Although he looked quite disheveled, it seems that the departure of Baby-5 has allowed Crocodile to regain his confidence.

He felt that as long as the opponent couldn't throw that knight's lance that he couldn't dodge no matter what, he would definitely not be able to suffer any more injuries.

Upon hearing this, Abel drew his sword, Onimaru, and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"I almost forgot to tell you, I'm not really good at knight's lances or anything like that. This was my first time using one, so I wasn't very skilled at it."

"What I'm really good at is this..."

Swish!

With a casual wave of his hand, Abel unleashed a 20-meter-long, dazzling aurora-like slash that sliced ​​through the desert and reached Crocodile, whose eyes were wide open.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile transformed his arms into four enormous and incredibly sharp sand blades, which collided violently with Abel's Asura Aurora Slash.

"Don't underestimate me, kid!"

Using the time gained by the Desert Greatsword, Crocodile immediately transformed into a sandstorm and bypassed the enemy, then swung his Desert Greatsword straight at them.

As an enhanced version of the Desert Blade, the Desert Greatsword has an extremely fast attack speed, making it difficult for opponents to react.

Abel was immediately cut in half at the waist.

Won?

How can it be!

In reality, the Abel who remained in place and was cut in half was just an illusion.

The real Abel had already appeared behind Crocodile like a ghost.

Armament Haki covered the entire blade...

Breath of Darkness, First Form: Shadow Strike!

puff!

Before Crocodile could react, he was slashed in the back, spraying a large amount of blood.

Crocodile's body involuntarily slumped forward.

Just as Abel was about to deliver the fatal blow, he failed to notice that Crocodile's right hand, which he had used to block the attack, now contained a small whirlwind.

Heavyweight sandstorm!
