One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

As he finished speaking, several more spatial rings suddenly appeared above Crocodile's head, just like they had been in the office before!

In an instant, endless seawater crashed down on his head like a torrential downpour.

"Damn it! What kind of ability is this!?"

Crocodile was startled by this sight. Unable to transform into his elemental form, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, creating a sandstorm that propelled his body to quickly dodge.

It's just that for many years I've been holed up in the first half of the Grand Line, bullying a bunch of weaklings with bounties of only tens of millions of Berries every day...

Crocodile's strength is no longer what it used to be!

Even though he reacted immediately, the seawater that flew out of the dimensional hole still splashed onto his body, soaking his body again after he had finally managed to dry off.

A feeling of weakness suddenly overwhelmed Crocodile, but what followed was an overwhelming sense of fear!

"What on earth is going on!? Why can this guy's Devil Fruit ability touch seawater!?"

"Shouldn't that be a taboo for all Devil Fruit users?!"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

But as the dimensional portal, seemingly relentlessly pursuing him, descended upon him once more, Crocodile knew...

If this continues, all that awaits me is endless weakness!

We can no longer pursue suppressing Devil Fruit abilities!

Suddenly, he glanced at the golden hook on his left hand—a scorpion venom stinger!

Although he hasn't had close combat experience for a long time, Crocodile was a man who could go toe-to-toe with Barret, who had the "devil's offspring" in his youth!

Even if close combat isn't his forte, it's still something that some random kid can't easily match!

"You forced me to this!!!"

This time, Crocodile, soaked to the bone by the seawater, no longer cared about his weakness.

As a veteran powerhouse who retired from the New World, Crocodile had long since mastered the skill of still being able to unleash a portion of his power even when controlled by Seastone!

The amount of PYROBROIN in the ocean is far less than that in seastone!

tread!!!

With a tremor in the sand, Crocodile's figure instantly transformed into a swift shadow, charging towards Crimson.

"Oh?!" Crimson exclaimed in surprise, "They're starting to change their fighting style!?"

But the next second, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his lips:

"In that case, I'll change my fighting style too!"

As he spoke, a dazzling burst of lightning suddenly erupted beneath his crimson feet.

Using the electromagnetic levitation technique, he suddenly rose into the air, creating some distance between himself and Crocodile.

Then he waved his hand and shouted down:

"Come out, my lovely subordinates!"

wow——

Suddenly, several other-dimensional portals emitting strange light appeared directly in front of Crocodile's path.

Crocodile instinctively prepared to dodge.

But just when he thought that a large amount of seawater would gush out from it again...

From within that halo of light, several figures suddenly emerged, as if they had traveled through time and space.

It was as if they were desert soldiers summoned from this ancient desert by crimson.

The obvious tension on the soldiers' faces at this moment showed that they were, after all, living beings with flesh and blood.

But soon...

The tense soldiers quickly adapted to the situation, instantly adopting an offensive stance and directing their murderous gazes at Crocodile.

This scene caused Crocodile to abruptly stop in his tracks, his face showing utter astonishment.

only because……

He was familiar with every single one of the figures standing before him at that moment!

Because these people were the high-ranking agents of Baroque Works, who had followed him for many years and worked tirelessly for him!

Just as Crocodile was wondering what was going on, Red, flying in the air, shouted excitedly:

"My men!"

"The man before you is none other than Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, recognized by the World Government!!!"

"And also, they will be the common enemy of all of you from now on!"

"This will be the most crucial battle for our Baroque Works to make us famous!"

"Kill him, cut him down from his horse, and the name of Baroque Works, and indeed yours, will resound throughout the world!!!"

"Let the world know who the strongest bounty hunter is!!!"

"To make a name for yourself today!!!"

"Don't hold back your fists and weapons! Use the power I've bestowed upon you to have a truly exhilarating battle!!!"

Wow!!!

With a wave of his crimson hand, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, encircling the surrounding battlefield and forming a huge ring.

At the same time, it caused the Baroque agents present to shimmer with a mysterious starlight.

In fact, the ring and the starlight have no special effects whatsoever.

It was just a special effect that Crimson casually created using his superpowers!

But looking at the battlefield shrouded in crimson mystery, and the mysterious glow emanating from his own body, combined with the words spoken by the crimson figure…

The agents present felt a surge of excitement in an instant!

As the two strongest members of Baroque Works, Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 were the first to enter battle mode. One of them suddenly transformed his body into a sharp blade, while the other flew into the air using a Pokémon move!

"Triple Attack - Annihilation Slash!!!"

"Floating Fall - Transvestite Fist Technique - Exploding Swan!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. 1 was enveloped in red, yellow, and blue energy, which then enveloped the sharp blade.

His figure flashed suddenly, instantly transforming into a swift, cold light, and slashed fiercely towards Crocodile's location!

Mr.2 on the other side was not to be outdone!

He stretched out a long, hairy leg, then spread his body in the air like a swan, and using the impact of the graceful descent, slammed it down powerfully towards Crocodile's head!

boom!!!

A large cloud of dust suddenly rose from the dry desert.

Amidst the dust and mist, Crocodile used his golden hook to parry Mr. 1's slash while firmly gripping Mr. 2's hairy thigh with his other hand.

Looking at the leg hair that was touching his palm, he felt a strange urge to back down.

I don't know if I was disgusted by the ladyboy's leg hair or if it triggered the cowering effect of the falling move.

On the other side, where the golden hook clashed with the human blade, a chilling aura spread along the golden hook towards his body.

Clearly, Mr.1 was very lucky to trigger the freezing effect of the triple bombardment.

Looking at the two agents who were showing him cold killing intent, Crocodile was filled with both anger and confusion.

"Baroque Works..."

"Shouldn't this be the organization I've spent years building up!?"

"Why have all my subordinates, who should have been mine, gone to the other side?!"

Chapter 154 The Fall of a Tyrant (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Crocodile, prepare to die!!!"

"Mole's Head Hammer!!!"

Just as the crocodile was bewildered, a sharp, shrewish voice suddenly came from the ground beneath him!

The next second, the sand beneath his feet loosened, and Miss Christmas, who had transformed into a giant mole, suddenly flew up from the ground and burst out of the soil.

The combination of the moves Dig and Headbutt coated her body with a thick and hard layer of Pokémon energy, allowing her to launch a fierce attack on Crocodile's lower body!

Damn it!

Upon seeing this, Crocodile's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he instinctively flung his hands outwards, using the brute force of a New World pirate to throw his two old employees away.

Immediately, the yellow sand swirled, forming an upward-floating hurricane that propelled his body rapidly away from the spot.

With a whoosh!

Miss Christmas, with her afro and bouncy curls, shot straight out like a rocket during the Lunar New Year.

Having missed her first attack, she then turned around in mid-air.

Miss Christmas is a Zoan-type user of the Mole-Mole Fruit, and her Pokémon type is Ground.

Since Crimson currently only has one Ground-type TM for Dig, he equipped Miss Christmas with three Normal-type moves...

Headbutt, Triple Attack, and the support skill temporarily listed as a divine skill by Crimson—Help!

Seeing that her attack had failed, Miss Christmas, who had emerged, didn't waste any words. She made a diving motion in mid-air and then plunged headfirst into the sand after landing.

She was already good at digging holes and excavating soil. After learning the digging techniques, she treated the sand, gravel and soil on the ground as if they were nothing, and moved around freely!

Before Crocodile could fully land, a creature covered in sharp spikes, resembling a sea urchin, suddenly appeared beneath him.

Miss activated her Paramecia-type Spike-Spiky Fruit ability, transforming her fingers into sharp spikes and setting them up in front of her to form a novel-looking long-barreled cannon turret.

She immediately blurted out: "Cannon beam!!!"

Zzz~

A silver light representing the steel element suddenly burst forth from the tips of the ten finger spikes and quickly condensed!
