The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 494 Come with me to see my king

Mr. 1, Daz Bonis, watched as the eager Deadman Hariri, despite his fear, resolutely prepared to launch an attack.

"Bonise, step back!"

Crocdale spoke slowly, knowing full well that even if Daz Bones were to make a move, he would be instantly killed; the difference in skill between them was too great.

Hearing his boss's orders, Mr.1, Daz Bones, did not insist further, but instead retreated to the side to stand guard.

Hariri's eyes lit up. Not to mention, a loyal and courageous person was highly regarded by the Heberfeller family.

To do something knowing it's impossible is not only a great courage but also an excellent quality.

As Crocodile stood up.

With a wave of his hand, a massive desert blade materialized out of thin air, and in the next instant, it burst forth with a sharp aura.

Hariri remained calm in the face of the attack; he had experienced countless battles like this before.

He's seen it all: invading Impel Down, attacking Mary Geoise, and engaging in numerous fierce battles with the Navy...

Compared to these, it's as ridiculous as children playing house.

With a wave of his hand, Hariri made a soft "rip" sound, and a huge spatial rift appeared instantly.

The unstoppable desert blade strike was directly swallowed up.

The next instant, a spatial rift opened behind Crocodile as well, and the Desert Blade slashed directly at his body.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, the Desert Blade severed his body, and the severed part turned into flowing yellow sand—a natural sand-transformation ability.

Normal attacks are useless against Logia-type characters.

"What a troublesome ability!"

Hariri grinned, his ferocious expression completely exposed.

Crocodile narrowed his eyes; the other party's mastery of his Devil Fruit was ridiculously high.

Attacking by consuming space, arbitrarily transferring attacks, and even returning attacks to the enemy are indeed quite troublesome.

He was mostly annoyed; such a result was due to a slight carelessness, which was truly unbearable.

Crocodile let out a low growl.

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

Hariri lowered his gaze slightly, naturally not taking it lightly. Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, hardening it.

Such an astonishing and massive amount of Armament Haki is one of the hallmarks of a family's powerful members.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, the crescent-shaped sand blade traced an eerie arc, attempting to strike Hariri's body.

Hariri sang softly.

"Air Door to Anywhere!"

In an instant, a series of air portals emitting a pale light appeared around his body.

Crocodile's attack entered the air portal, frantically shuttling between the various portals, like a headless fly that had lost its way, spinning in circles.

Hariri grinned wickedly, and with a wave of his hand, an air portal appeared, pointing directly forward.

The next moment, Crocodile's attack was reflected back the same way it came.

Crocodile's face darkened; his technique, which could evaporate all moisture, couldn't even touch him, so it was naturally ineffective.

"This rare Paramecia-type ability, when developed properly, is strangely troublesome!"

Crocodile's body instantly turned to sand and disappeared from the spot.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, large sections of sand collapsed, unleashing a ferocious impact that destroyed the room.

After the sand scattered, it gathered together on the ruins, and grains of sand formed a complete body.

The space flashed with light, and an air portal appeared on the ruins, allowing Hariri to reappear unharmed.

He clasped his hands together, stretched his body, and twisted his neck.

It made a series of "crunch crunch" sounds.

"Crocodile, come with me to see my king!"

Crocodile's expression darkened, and the cigar he was biting deformed slightly.

His arm surged rapidly into the shape of a sand blade as he raised his hand to launch an attack.

"The Desert Sword!"

The rapidly moving sand instantly formed incredibly sharp blades.

After bursting through the air, it formed a giant sand blade that stretched across the heavens and the earth.

Hariri was helpless in this situation. He covered one leg with Armament Haki and kicked out a powerful kick with lightning speed.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, and Hariri's eyes flashed with madness.

After a brief stalemate, he let out a low shout and kicked him away, the Desert Sword then spiraling into the sky.

"As expected of a former veteran pirate, even if he was a loser!"

Hariri was sharp-tongued, but his hands were just as quick to act.

An astonishing surge of power was boiling, and a milky-white orb of light appeared on his palm.

"Space Compression Bomb!"

The pure white light transformed into a divine ray, vanishing in an instant through the spatial portal.

Crocodile's pupils contracted. Even though he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, his former fighting spirit still made him feel the terrifying power.

"boom!"

The dazzling light first contracted rapidly, then expanded quickly, accompanied by a loud bang, as if everything nearby had been completely wiped out by an invisible force.

It's like a piece of cake was cut off and evaporated.

Appalling.

Yellow sand swirled, and strands of fine sand moved erratically and frantically in all directions. In the blink of an eye, countless grains of sand gathered together and instantly returned to their original state.

"Logia-type, they're really strong!"

Hariri scratched his head inwardly; his Armament Haki was not yet sufficient to cover that terrifying attack.

That was a move he had come up with after much thought and observing the experiences of many family members in developing their Devil Fruit abilities at the family's Devil Mansion.

Crocodile raised one hand, and a miniature sandstorm, model-like, appeared on his palm!

"Sandstorm!"

The moment he swung his hand, the sandstorm instantly magnified and lengthened, and strong winds rose up, sweeping towards Hariri.

"useless!"

Hariri's entire body was covered in Armament Haki, and countless air portals formed an impenetrable barrier around his body.

A fierce sandstorm completely enveloped Hariri.

The rapidly spinning sand grains, like sharp knives, relentlessly pounded against Hariri's defenses, blurring his vision.

Unfortunately, no matter how much sand there was, it was constantly swallowed up by Hariri's portal, which was like a bottomless pit.

Then, several spatial portals appeared near Crocodile's body, spewing out attacks of the swallowed sand.

Crocodile instantly transformed into a mangled sandman.

It looked terrifying, but unfortunately it didn't do any harm to Crocodile.

"Desert Prison!"

Endless sandstorms ripped from his arms, gathering into a flowing sand flow.

"Boom!"

The sandstorm swept towards Hariri from all directions, and everything it touched, from buildings to trees, faded and turned to ashes.

Absolutely astonishing!

However, it was of little use against Hariri's unreasonable defense.

For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Crocodile, you should know very well. Come with me to see my king."

He felt embarrassed and a little discouraged, considering he used to be a player who could go toe-to-toe with a Barrett, and he had even survived a fight against Whitebeard.

It's a disgrace that we can't even handle a rising star like him.

Hariri was equally furious. After all, Charlotte, as the ruler of the New World, was already giving a Shichibukai quite a bit of face by inviting him.

The fact that they had been delayed here for so long, keeping Boss Xia Luo waiting, really made him look unwell.

There's really nothing we can do about it right now, which is really infuriating.

"Crocodile, my king extends this invitation with sincere intentions. Have you truly considered the consequences? Are you going to refuse?"

Hariri spoke again, this time as a reminder.

If you really anger the emperor of the new world, even if he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he will be nothing more than a chicken or a dog in front of the entire Hibernian family.

Even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea were wiped out by the Hibernian family, the Navy would not dare to cause them trouble easily.

This is not boasting; it's simply because the family's strength is too great.

Only at this moment did Crocodile finally calm down.

His eyes gleamed; as a shrewd strategist, he had wasted many years in Alabasta, and success seemed imminent.

If all his efforts are in vain because of this, all his hard work will have been for nothing.

Crocodile, though unwilling, was helpless and gritted his teeth.

"Okay~"

Hariri also breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of Crocodile; if he had the chance, he would definitely want to learn from him.

It would be extremely impolite to keep the head of the Heberfeller family, the king of the sea, the legendary pirate, the king of one of the world's top powers, waiting for so long.

That was a serious dereliction of duty.
