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

When the two forces merge and they find Hades, just as he said, they will be able to roam the seas freely!

Then he will be qualified to challenge any force!

And in his view, the other party would never refuse his kindness.

One is an ordinary subordinate under Doflamingo, while the other is on equal footing with Crocodile, jointly managing such a massive force. Even a fool would know which to choose.

Therefore, Crocodile appeared very confident.

He simply didn't want Doflamingo to realize something was wrong beforehand, so he chose this method to meet Abel.

Abel, on the other hand, was thinking, "I've already pocketed such a big piece of cake, why should I share it with you?"

This is information asymmetry.

Crocodile thought Abel needed his strength and power, but in reality, Abel didn't need them at all.

He wasn't even interested in his Sand-Sand Fruit; otherwise, he would never have let that sand crocodile escape last time!

This led to a very awkward situation.

"No interest. Joining forces is out of the question. But if you're willing to be my underling, I might consider it."

Abel replied with this rather blunt statement.

Crocodile's face immediately darkened. "Kid, I advise you to think this through. Such a rare opportunity doesn't come around every day."

"Heh, a rare opportunity? It might be true for you, but for me, it's utterly unappealing."

Abel said dismissively.

Crocodile finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The surrounding yellow sand was already swirling around his body.

It seems like they could make a move at any moment.

Abel maintained his indifferent attitude, mainly because he genuinely had no interest in the sand crocodile.

If the other party is courting death, he wouldn't mind sending them on their way.

Crocodile suddenly stopped the surrounding yellow sand, sneered and said, "I thought you were a smart guy, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

"You'd better have already hidden all the rubbings of the historical text."

"Because I'm starting to wonder what Doflamingo's expression would be if he knew he had a 'traitor' among his subordinates who was just as strong as him?"

"I heard that what this guy hates most is being betrayed by his family?"

Abel's expression suddenly became very calm. "Do you think this kind of divisive rhetoric will be effective?"

"Whether it's useful or not doesn't matter. The more Doflamingo doubts you, the more likely your plans will fail. Since you're so willing to be someone's dog, then be one for life."

Crocodile said with a ferocious yet mocking expression.

Abel looked at the other person and suddenly laughed, "To be honest, I wasn't interested in your Sand-Sand Fruit at first, but you've successfully given me a reason to kill you."

"Sand Crocodile, what gives you the courage to stand here and threaten me?"

War Shackles, activate!

【War Shackles】(Orange) One-time consumable item

Description: A wondrous object formed from the power of the God of War.

Effect: After use, both parties will engage in a life-or-death duel within the designated boundary; any means of escape are ineffective. The final victor can designate any item possessed by the opponent as loot. (Loot can include knowledge, skills, bloodlines, souls, abilities, and anything else.)

Suddenly, Abel pulled an item from his system inventory, which immediately transformed into two transparent shackles, which were placed on Abel and Crocodile at a speed that they could not even react to.

Then, four war pillars rose up from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, connecting to form a battlefield roughly the size of half a football field.

Only those who survive to the end can walk out of here.

"what is this?"

Crocodile frowned slightly. Although he had already transformed into his elemental form at top speed, he was still hit by the transparent shackles, but he did not feel anything unusual.

Instead, the changes in his surroundings gave him a bad feeling.

"The Shackles of War, a magical item that once used, will lead to a life-or-death struggle, and only the living can leave it."

"I let you escape last time not because you're so capable, but because I didn't want to waste this thing on someone like you."

"But since you've chosen to die, I have no choice but to grant your wish."

"Next time you're threatening someone, remember not to stand so close, or someone might die!"

After successfully using it, Crocodile was, in Abel's eyes, a dead man.

He originally intended to keep this prop for use on someone else.

Using it to obtain the other party's Sand-Sand Fruit is only a small profit.

After all, although the Sand-Sand Fruit is a Logia-type Devil Fruit, it has never been within his needs.

Another thing Abel didn't expect was the magical weapon in his hand.

Perhaps due to the soul bond, when using the War Shackles, he and Baby-5 in the Demon Weapon form were identified as one.

Perhaps this is what justice is in a two-on-one situation!

The sand crocodile's last sliver of hope for victory has completely vanished.

Crocodile, refusing to believe the danger, transformed into sand and tried to leave the 'barrier', but was immediately blocked by a blood-red light barrier.

They can't even get past a single grain of sand!

Crocodile's expression began to turn somewhat ugly. His greatest confidence in coming here was that he could come and go as he pleased, and he was certain that the other party would not be able to stop him.

But now it seems that things have completely gone beyond his expectations.

Chapter 494 Extreme Cold Dragon Breath and Death's Decay!

Desert Sword!

Crocodile relentlessly attacked the blood-red light barrier, only to find that his attacks, which he was so proud of, couldn't even create a ripple.

This 'barrier' is something he cannot break in his current state.

Abel simply watched quietly as the other person wasted their energy, without even considering stopping them.

If Crocodile can break free of these "shackles of war," then the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed.

Only after this guy finally gave up did Abel speak up, saying, "Don't waste your energy. I've already said that only one of us can leave here alive today."

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the demon child Nico Robin is in my hands. But I have no interest in Hades, which is the biggest difference between you and me.”

"So you're not even worthy of discussing joining forces with me, you piece of trash."

These words thoroughly provoked Crocodile, making him feel as if the goddess he had been pursuing was nothing more than a plaything that someone else didn't even notice.

Anger, incomprehension, and a twisted mind!

Finally, it all transformed into an astonishing killing intent, sweeping towards Abel.

"I want you to die!"

Desert Diamond Sword!

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for silencing everyone beforehand, so that you will have the opportunity to witness my true strength."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, an unparalleled and powerful aura erupted from Abel.

The domineering aura of "I am the only one who reigns supreme in the heavens and the earth" is mixed with a tiny bit of dragon's might!

With the added bonus of the title "King of Curses," Abel's release of Conqueror's Haki instantly crushed and shattered the killing intent emanating from Crocodile.

While weakening its fighting spirit and strength, it even made Crocodile's breath catch in his throat!

"It's Conqueror's Haki?!" Crocodile's expression suddenly changed.

How could someone who had fought Whitebeard not understand Haki?

He simply neglected his cultivation in this area, pinning his hopes on Hades, but his vision remained intact.

Such a person, who would willingly remain subordinate to others, must have very grand ambitions!

Crocodile finally understood why the other party had dismissed the suggestion of joining forces.

For some reason, he suddenly regretted threatening the kid.

But it's too late to say anything now; the die is cast.

Now all we can do is fight to the death!

Crocodile doesn't think he's doomed.

cut!

The Desert Vajra Blade fell resolutely.

But this time he was facing an incredibly terrifying behemoth!

Roar!

With a roar, Abel transformed into a giant flying dragon, hundreds of meters long, pure white, and covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.

The shockwave from the transformation alone sent Crocodile flying.

When Abel spread his 30-meter-long ice crystal wings, up close they truly looked as if they blotted out the sky.

"Dragon? A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability?"

Crocodile's expression turned extremely solemn and gloomy after landing.

The last time he was beaten so badly he had to flee was already incredibly humiliating, but what he saw now told him that his opponent hadn't even used their full strength last time...

This is the greatest humiliation for him!

"So what if you're a dragon? Today, I, Crocodile, will slaughter you, you giant reptile!"

Crocodile began to fight desperately, conjuring a sand vortex in each hand and then forcibly merging them together.
