I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

As we all know, cats are a liquid.

With a soft click.

Sig actually emerged directly from the floating chair in the air, tilted his head back, took two steps in the air, and landed on the floor next to him.

"He broke free of the seastone chair... How did he manage to do that?"

Crocodile's expression grew even more serious.

"Crocodile, why did you betray our cooperation and launch a surprise attack on me?"

Sieg tried to buy some time and continue thinking of a solution.

Everyone, including Stussy and Fujitora, fell into the hollow below, and no one knew what lay beneath...

The leg I had just been hugging was suddenly gone.

His heart pounded incessantly; Sieg was now completely isolated and helpless.

Are the cards he has in his hand really enough to deal with Crocodile?

"Don't be naive, Sig."

Do you think I'd be foolish enough to satisfy the enemy's curiosity?

Crocodile frowned deeply in front of Sieg, and launched another attack on Sieg without any expression.

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

Crocodile's remaining left arm suddenly transformed into a massive sand blade, and with a twist of his waist, the giant sand blade was already swinging down.

The lavishly decorated president's office was a complete mess in no time; the sofas, tables, and chairs were all sliced ​​in two by the giant sand blade.

However, this still couldn't do anything to Sieg.

Just like in Loguetown, Sig swayed slightly just as the sand blade was about to touch him, thus dodging it.

However, Crocodile's actions did not stop there.

The sand kept swirling around him. In the president's office, he kept manipulating the sand to keep chasing Sig, only to be evaded by Sig time and time again.

"Ha ha ha ha...."

Crocodile looked at Sieg, who was constantly dodging, and instead of being angry, he laughed.

"Sig, you certainly didn't disappoint me; you not only dodged my trap..."

"Is it still the same as it was in Loguetown...? That's some really powerful Observation Haki..."

"However, there are limits to how you can dodge."

Crocodile's smile grew colder and colder.

“Sig, I admit you are qualified to be my enemy, and you deserve the grand welcome I have prepared for you.”

"Your abilities are far more challenging than I anticipated."

"but."

"In this desert, no one can defeat me!"

Crocodile, surrounded by yellow sand, exhaled a smoke ring with a blank expression.

Chapter 213 Natural Disaster

"In this desert, no one can defeat me!"

Crocodile looked directly at Sieg, his eyes radiating powerful confidence.

He reached out, and with his manipulation, a wisp of sand completely lifted the heavy curtains that had been covering the French windows!

The huge, transparent floor-to-ceiling window slowly opened, revealing the entire cityscape outside to Sieg.

At that moment, Sieg suddenly felt a terrifying sense of oppression that was almost suffocating.

It had gotten dark sometime earlier.

What one could see was a sandstorm that seemed to engulf the entire sky.

The howling wind whipped up a sky full of yellow sand, as if it had covered the sky.

A colossal sandstorm, seemingly stretching from the sky to the earth, appeared at the edge of the city in the distance.

This colossal sandstorm, carrying an almost endless amount of yellow sand from the depths of the desert, swept in like a giant sand monster that was about to devour the city!

This is a natural disaster that will almost engulf the entire city!

A stone building on the very edge of the city is about to be swallowed up by this terrifying, massive sandstorm.

Sig could see from afar that the stone building had been riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, crisscrossed by sand and dust.

Boom!

In just a short while, the stone building seemed to collapse directly in the sandstorm. Broken stones and rubble were swept into the air by the howling wind and then completely swallowed up by the storm.

Just looking directly at the sky-covering sandstorm made Sieg's heart pound uncontrollably, his heartbeats becoming one.

It's not just Sieg.

The once bustling city of Yudi is now filled with panicked crowds fleeing in terror; the peaceful and lively atmosphere of just moments ago has vanished.

Robin, who had been watching quietly from the sidelines, suddenly changed her expression.

She struggled to shift her gaze from the terrifying storm to Crocodile's face, and couldn't help but ask:

"Is this the welcoming ceremony you prepared? You suddenly left Yudi a few days ago just to stir up this sandstorm?"

Crocodile's face revealed a cold smile, and his venomous gaze swept over Robin, causing her to lower her head immediately.

"Watch your tone, Miss Sunday."

"You're still useful to me, so I'll spare your life."

"But it's not necessarily the same for others."

Crocodile gave Sieg a cold look.

He stretched out his palm, and a small sand whirlwind quickly formed in his palm, making a soft rustling sound.

It was as if the giant sandstorm in the distance had shrunk countless times.

“Sieg, I knew you weren’t so easy to deal with. This sandstorm was specially prepared for you.”

"If you surrender now and reveal the secret of the Celestial Dragons' national treasure and the location of the Another Piece treasure, I might spare your life."

"Otherwise, all your subordinates, and this entire city, will perish with you!"

Crocodile stood before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, a sandstorm blotting out the sky behind him, his eyes radiating an unrestrained killing intent.

Sig's eyes widened slightly, a chill creeping over him.

Crocodile is known as the King of the Desert.

His abilities are so great that they can be unleashed in the desert that they far exceed his actual strength.

For example, the small sandstorm on Crocodile's palm right now, if released in the desert, would gradually intensify as the storm carries more sand and dust into it...

The sandstorm outside the city at this moment is probably the result of Crocodile's deliberate preparations a few days in advance.

The intensity of this sandstorm has likely reached the level of a natural disaster capable of destroying an entire city, something that cannot be countered by human power.

"I underestimated Crocodile... Crocodile, who doesn't underestimate his opponent, managed to create such a formidable display through prior preparation..."

Sieg was filled with remorse.

Because he was persuaded by an unexpected turn of events, and because of Robin's early appearance, he temporarily lowered his guard and thought that Crocodile was genuinely willing to cooperate.

"Could it be that I performed too well before, which is why Crocodile made such a big show of it?"

Thinking of this, Sieg's expression suddenly became quite interesting.

Thinking about it carefully... back in Loguetown, he completely avoided all of Crocodile's attacks, which was an overwhelming advantage, just like Luffy when he first encountered Katakuri, the battle was completely one-sided.

"Wait... if I surrender, can you stop this storm?"

Sieg suddenly thought of a question and immediately asked it.

If Crocodile can even control this terrifying sandstorm, then his strength in the desert is probably much greater than Sieg imagined!

"No."

Crocodile answered without a care.

"However, I can guide this sandstorm away from here and into the sea."

"Make your choice, Sig. Your time is running out."

Crocodile continued to smoke his cigar at a leisurely pace, a mocking smile on his face.

The stage is already set up.

At this point, the sand crocodile had regained its previous patience.

...........

at the same time.

Below this floor, Fujitora and the others, who had fallen into the trap, were thrown, chair and all, into an even larger Seastone cage.

Looking around, it was a sealed room surrounded by walls on all four sides, with no exit in sight.

Not to mention, they were also trapped in a sea stone chair and a sea stone cage.

"Crocodile is really cautious. A double trap, and now there's even a Seastone cage?"

The bald man struggled violently, but was completely powerless.

The stone prison chair was pressed very tightly against them, essentially fixing them firmly to the chair, leaving them with very little room to move.

“I can’t wait here. Mr. Sieg definitely needs me by his side!”

BABY-5 tried to struggle a few times, but eventually slumped back into the chair.

Among the group, only Stussy, Fujitora, and Crocus remained relatively calm.

"Sig? Your leader is that notorious bandit Sig who's been making a name for himself lately?"
