He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Immediately afterwards, under Crocodile's livid face, Gushin slowly walked down from the platform.

This made Crocodile lose face.

The sand crocodile snorted coldly, its killing intent rising.

He already suspected that Guxin was involved in the rain incident, and he was better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Now he had another reason to kill him!

However, he cannot act now, otherwise it would damage the "hero" image he has cultivated, and others would think that he is narrow-minded and would kill someone simply because he refused to be recruited.

There was absolutely no need for him to take action.

All it takes is sending out his top agents to kill Guxin!

Gu Xin might have the life to take it, but he won't have the life to leave!

Guxin first made an excuse to go to the toilet, went to a secluded place, and then swallowed the Iron-Iron Fruit while enduring the nausea.

Next up is Crocodile, the sand crocodile. Every bit of extra strength he can gain is valuable, so he decides to eat the Iron-Iron Fruit!

[Steel Power: The user can transform their body into steel and manipulate steel, including but not limited to steel defense and high-temperature attacks. They can also autonomously use Steel-type moves, and the power of Steel-type moves is increased by 50%.]

As expected, the Iron-Iron Fruit corresponds to the Steel type.

Now he can use Steel, Fighting, and Psychic type moves on his own.

He is not worried that there will be an upper limit to the [Extreme Gourmet Cells].

During their time in Alabasta, both Snorlax and Gardevoir successfully advanced to Rank A, greatly increasing their strength. At the same time, the maximum value of their [Ultimate Gourmet Cell] also increased from 2 to 3.

In other words, having already eaten the Muscle Fruit and the Iron-Iron Fruit, he can still eat another Devil Fruit.

Furthermore, this upper limit will increase as Snorlax levels up.

Gu Xin and his companions swaggered away from the Rain Banquet. It wasn't convenient to make a move there, and he knew someone would chase after them.

Although Yixiao was puzzled, she still followed Gu Xin away.

Sure enough, as they walked across the vast desert, Yi Xiao suddenly exclaimed, "Someone is following us."

"Yes, just as expected." Guxin stopped and smiled.

As soon as Gu Xin and the others stopped, a sand pile not far away exploded with a bang.

Three figures appeared in the sandstorm.

They are Daz Bones, the chief agent of Baroque Works and user of the Slash-Slash Fruit; Sara, user of the Thorn-Thorn Fruit; and Dorothy, user of the Mole-Mole Fruit.

"It seems Crocodile values ​​me quite a bit, sending out three high-ranking agents all at once," Gushin remarked.

It even included the strongest Bonis and Sara.

This shows how much Crocodile wanted him dead.

"Not only on the ground, but even in the sky, there are people who want to kill me." Gu Xin looked up at the sky again, his tone quite helpless.

In the sky, Buffalo was flying using his Devil Fruit powers, and behind him was Baby 5, fully armed and holding a rocket launcher.

The reason they can become partners is not only because their personalities are compatible, but also because their abilities can create a synergistic effect where 1+1>2.

With the help of Baby 5, Buffalo's helicopter was upgraded from an ordinary helicopter to a high-end armed helicopter.

Many people had no means of anti-aircraft defense and could only watch helplessly as they became sitting ducks, dying with resentment.

The enemy was coming on strong.

Gu Xin was also deeply moved. There were two waves of pursuers, one in the sky and one on the ground, each from one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, forming a tight killing move.

He was truly honored.

Bonnie and his men were mainly there to kill him, as for Buffalo...

"Hand over the Devil Fruits! I might spare your lives!" Buffalo's arrogant voice drifted over.

He has already revealed his goal on his own initiative.

The reason they didn't attack directly was because they were worried about damaging the Devil Fruit.

"Are all of Doflamingo's men this confident?" Gu Xin said casually, these two seemed a bit too arrogant.

It's one thing to treat him like this, but to spare his life with a laugh? Even Doflamingo wouldn't dare say that.

Buffalo said coldly, "Baby5, make your move!"

Baby5, holding a rocket launcher, fired multiple rockets with a bang, leaving trails of smoke as they roared away!

The next moment, Gu Xin snapped his fingers, and a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gardevoir spread its arms wide, and a beautiful full moon appeared from the rich pink glow, which then surged towards the projectile.

[The Power of the Moon]!

boom!

The shell detonated instantly in mid-air.

"Sanai!"

Gardevoir said somewhat angrily, her eyes shining brightly at the same time.

Suddenly, Buffalo and Baby5 felt an unexpected and enormous force, as if an elephant was pressing down on them and pulling them down with all its might. The two of them crashed into the plane at an extremely high speed!

boom!

Buffalo and his companion crashed heavily onto the sand dune, sending sand billowing into the sky! It must have been a serious fall.

【gravity】!

This is also one of the Psychic-type moves; in the game, it means that Ground-type moves can be used against Flying-type Pokémon.

In reality, this is manifested as the effect of gravity.

Yi Xiao looked at Gardevoir in surprise, not expecting this move.

If he hadn't eaten the Gravity Fruit, he would have thought it was Gardevoir who ate it.

He increasingly felt that Guxin was amazing; the elves he created possessed an endless variety of special abilities, with a wide range of styles.

It's like... someone eating multiple Devil Fruits at the same time.

Meanwhile, Bonis and his men launched an attack, but were stopped by Van Auger and his men.

Battle is imminent.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

Gu Xin did not make a move, and even Yi Xiao simply protected him.

Even so, it's enough to deal with these enemies.

Van Auger-Robben vs. Sara.

Lucky Egg versus Bonnie.

Chopper faces off against Dorothy.

"The boss has ordered that Guxin must die today!" Sarah charged forward, twisting her waist, as sharp thorns sprouted from her body.

She excels at close combat and then uses thorns to brutally kill others!

boom!

Van Augur fired four bullets in an instant, aiming at his forehead and heart respectively.

Sarah was terrified. She managed to move her body and narrowly avoid vital areas, but she was still hit twice, once in her torso and once in her arm.

Fresh blood flowed out.

"I can't let you hurt my captain," Van Augur said coldly.

"This is a sharpshooter!" Sarah thought in alarm, and at the same time quickly closed the distance, wanting to finish Van Augur off in close combat.

But as she managed to get close, Van Auger suddenly reappeared a hundred meters away and continued firing.

How is this possible?!

A sharpshooter with the ability to teleport—she couldn't imagine anything more terrifying than that.

A thick aura of death lingered in Sarah's mind, making her a sitting duck.

The next moment, four more bullets came hurtling towards her. Seeing that she could not dodge them, Sarah frantically extended thorns.

Her thorns were incredibly tough; ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate them!

However, this only applies to ordinary bullets.

boom!

In Sarah's horrified eyes, the bullet pierced through her thorns and landed precisely on her body, leaving her covered in wounds and causing her to lose strength and blood rapidly.

Just before she lost consciousness, Sara realized that it was an extremely sturdy Seastone bullet that was also effective against Devil Fruit users!
