Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

His words ignited a surge of anger within him.

Even if he didn't admit it in his heart, the reason he stayed in the first half was indeed related to the white beard...

The man's power made him feel that he could never reach it in his entire life.

Then he retreated to the next best thing and wanted to get ancient weapons...

The other person's words bluntly revealed his "retreat" and exposed the scars he didn't want to talk about.

How can I prevent him from getting angry?

Did I guess right?

Seeing Crocodile's gloomy face, Rocks couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter was full of sarcasm: "If you stay with the sheep for too long, you'll eventually be assimilated into a sheep yourself, and in the end, you'll be defeated by a newcomer. I can already see your fate!"

"How could you, who have lost your will and spirit, possibly be a match for me?"

In this world, personal will and spirit are extremely important.

Crocodile is currently at his physical peak, but because he has lost his fighting spirit, his strength has been greatly reduced.

He wasn't in the state to fight Whitebeard.

Perhaps it was for this reason that he was defeated by the Rubber Sun God three years later in the original story...

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only been three years.

But for someone who intends to achieve their goals through scheming and manipulation, their ambition and will will be gradually diminished.

A weakening of one's spirit and will will lead to a significant decline in one's strength!

"Shut up!"

Crocdale was furious at these words.

He felt insulted.

This guy who popped out of nowhere, although he has some strength, has no right to lecture him!

"The truth is revealed quickly, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lox scoffed: "Don't get me wrong, the newcomer I'm talking about isn't me."

"Being defeated by me is not an insult to you; at least I'll still be domineering..."

"Go to hell!"

Crocodile's eyes turned cold.

At least it has a domineering presence...

Is the other person saying that he will be defeated by someone who doesn't even have domineering aura?

This is no longer just an insult.

Instead, it was utter contempt for him!

"Desert Vajra Sword!"

Crocodile clenched his right hand, controlling the surrounding desert, and a series of enormous desert diamond swords materialized.

Under his control, they stormed towards Lox like a raging storm.

Locking onto Rocks from all sides, giving him no chance to dodge!

"That's more like it!"

Lox narrowed his eyes, his feet stomping on the ground as his figure flashed repeatedly.

He moved freely amidst the relentless, storm-like attacks, yet the attackers couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

In terms of speed, Locks, who controls the rotation, has the upper hand.

As his strength increased, Rocks also discovered that Resonance was not simply about being "fast"...

"Desert Waves!"

Crocodile's eyes were cold, and he clenched his right hand forward.

'Boom boom boom...'

The desert was in turmoil under his control, with sand waves tens of meters high pushing forward and crashing down with the force of Mount Tai!

In the desert region, he was the king of the desert.

Even with Whitebeard here, he wasn't afraid of the opponent's Tremor-Tremor Fruit; this was the place where he could best unleash his abilities!

Locus grinned, revealing a carefree smile: "A very good attack, but not strong enough!"

'Boom!'

His Conqueror's Haki was released as he spoke, spreading outwards from his body.

Under the onslaught of this overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki, the relentless sandstorm seemed to pause for a moment.

It was repelled by Rocks' Conqueror's Haki...

Rocks' Conqueror's Haki was strong enough to have a real impact on external matter!

"Let me show you the swordsmanship of the future world's greatest swordsman!"

"The Elbaf Spear..."

Looking at the towering desert waves looming ahead, Lox gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, unleashing a violent aura and swordplay from his body.

Because the sandstorm was briefly repelled by Conqueror's Haki, Rocks also released Armament Haki to cover his body.

Instead, he channeled his Armament Haki into the sword's tip...

This sword strike... unleashed with full power!

"A mighty kingdom!"

With a low shout, Lox swung his sword.

With a violent swing, a spiral shockwave burst forth from the sword's tip.

Like a spear that pierces through everything, it destroys everything in its path, crashing straight into the oncoming desert waves!

Chapter 95 A Powerful Defeat!

'Boom!'

The spiral shockwave crashed down like a tidal wave, and almost the instant of impact, the desert wave was pierced, creating a crater.

The sand waves shattered, and sand and stones flew everywhere. Faced with this irresistible attack, the rolling sand waves couldn't even withstand it for a moment.

'Boom boom boom...'

With undiminished power, the mighty force of the kingdom charged straight forward, its speed so great that it approached Crocodile almost in the blink of an eye.

"This is..."

Upon seeing this, Crocodile's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with shock.

The Observation Haki is frantically warning, alerting people to impending danger.

This is a combat technique of the Elbaf giants... Why can this brat use this move?

And this guy even has Conqueror's Haki?

There wasn't enough time for him to think it over; Crocodile had already made his decision.

The body begins to transform into elements, attempting to use this transformation to evade the attack!

His Observation Haki allowed him to detect that the opponent's attack was not imbued with Armament Haki.

Only a fully extended level of Armament Haki can cause damage to Logia-type users from a distance.

The other party's domineering skills haven't reached that level yet!

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

'Boom boom boom...'

The spiral shockwave hurtled forward along a straight line.

Starting from where Lox was, the trench stretched far into the distance, carving a deep ravine into the earth!

If someone were to look down from above, they would see what appears to be an artificial riverbed carved out of the vast desert.

It extends from here to the vicinity of Yudi, more than ten kilometers away...

This sword has transformed the landscape!

“You’ve shown your weakness, Crocodile…”

Before Crocodile could even catch his breath, he heard a mocking voice approaching from afar.

The next moment, that voice rang in my ears...

Crocodile looked up and saw that Rocks had appeared not far in front of him at some point.

The other person had a smug, unrestrained smile on their face, as if they were unafraid of anything.

The moment Crocodile saw Rocks, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, a premonition of death etched on his mind.

Only one thought crossed my mind—Oh no!

"No matter how hard you struggle, I am the one who wins this battle..."

Lox grinned savagely, his fists clenched tightly.

The heavy Armament Haki turned his fist black, while also adding touches of emerald green Hollow Bullet power.

"It can only be me!"

Rocks leaned back and slammed his fists down violently!

One serious punch! One bone!

Both fists unleash a powerful attack simultaneously!

"Damn it..."

Faced with such a rapid attack, Crocodile was unable to respond effectively.

His opponent seized upon that fleeting opening.

He could only grit his teeth and muster all his strength, mobilizing his own Armament Haki to defend himself and try to block the opponent's attack!

But all of this was in vain...

'Boom!!'

Crocodile's Armament Haki is not as "hard" as Rocks's.

Faced with Rocks's unstoppable attack, Crocodile's defensive Armor Haki was shattered almost the instant the fist landed...

Two fists landed on Crocodile's chest, unleashing tremendous power in an instant.

One type is penetrating punching power! The other is explosive punching power!

'Snap!'

The sound of his sternum shattering rang out, and Crocodile felt as if a huge iron hammer had struck him, not a fist.

The attack tore through all his defenses...

With a "whoosh," Crocodile coughed up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his body flying backward like a cannonball.

Its momentum was far greater than that of any artillery shell, and it left a ravine in the desert.

Crocodile's momentum didn't diminish; it flew in a straight line before crashing heavily into the distant desert, creating a crater in the area.

The sand flowed and filled the bottom of the pit, burying most of Crocodile's body...

"Cough cough..."

Lying in the sandpit, Crocodile coughed up mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs once again.

At this moment, his chest was sunken, multiple internal organs were ruptured, and his body was in a bizarre contortion...

He just lost like that?
