One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

boom!!!

A deafening artillery barrage suddenly erupted!

A bright silver beam of light ripped through the void and struck Crocodile directly in mid-air!

This time, Crocodile, who was suspended in mid-air and had lost his agility, had no room to dodge. His body was hit hard by Miss.'s two-finger cannon beam, his expression changed, and his body suddenly flew backward.

Just then, Crimson reached out again: "Dimensional Cave!"

In an instant, a strange circular hole appeared behind Crocodile.

Another dimensional portal then appeared right next to it.

Crocodile, who was sent flying backward, entered the dimensional rift, but then shot out again from another opening in the opposite direction.

"I'm coming!"

The simple-minded Mr. 4 suddenly raised the alloy baseball bat in his hand, his face showing a mixture of panic and excitement.

His swollen arms suddenly bulged with prominent veins.

The red, yellow, and blue colors are prominently displayed on the top of the baseball bat, which is none other than the versatile move from the Normal Style - Triple Attack!

boom!!!

Crocodile, whose flight direction was changed by the dimensional portal, had no time to react and was hit squarely by Mr. 4. His entire body instantly bent into an inverted C shape like a leaping shrimp.

At the same time, dazzling lightning also struck Crocodile's body along the metal baseball bat, giving him a refreshing electric shock that made him, who was already soaking wet, feel great all over!

"Ah... poof..."

With his body numb and then struck by gravity, Crocodile suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then shot out again like a meteor.

"...What...what kind of power is this!?"

Observing the agents who were completely different from those described in the intelligence reports, Crocodile couldn't help but feel suspicious for a moment...

Could these guys really not be his original subordinates?!

Or perhaps he was framed from the very beginning!?

However, all his thoughts came to an abrupt halt when Crocodile saw yet another bizarre void wormhole appear before him.

"No! If this continues, the enemy will completely seize the initiative in the battle!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly raised his hands, two small sandstorms gathering in his palms.

"Sandstorm!!!"

Whew!

As Crocodile swung his arm forward, two violent sandstorms suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Crocodile, who was flying forward, was directly swept into the sandstorm, deviating from its original flight path and avoiding the dimensional portal that Crimson had just set up.

"Oh? You've learned your lesson~" Scarlet raised an eyebrow. Seeing that the same trick was no longer effective, he waved his arm again, summoning another dimensional portal connecting to the sea above the sandstorm.

Splash splash splash splash—

The sandstorm surged down from the sky, instantly drenching the sandstorm and forming a vortex suspended in the air, which spun along with Crocodile.

A few seconds.

Crocodile, soaked by seawater once again, was flung out of the vortex and slammed into the distant rocks.

boom!!!

The rock wall collapsed, instantly burying Crocodile's body within it.

At this point...

The Baroque agents' attack has come to an end.

Miss, now back in her usual alluring form, paused in surprise, her fingers trembling softly:

"I never expected that the mighty Seven Warlords of the Sea would be so weak!?"

"Weak?!"

At this moment, Mr. 1, who had also returned to normal, spoke with a questioning tone, his eyes flashing as he looked at the pile of rocks in front of him that had begun to shake violently:

"Wait until you can unleash a Devil Fruit power of that scale while completely soaked in seawater before you say such things!"

"Moreover, the reason we were able to hit the opponent so easily is all thanks to Lord Crimson's abilities!"

Recalling how easily Crocodile had blocked his and Mr. 2's combined attack, Mr. 1's heart tightened!

And involuntarily, the evaluation Ace had given them yesterday popped into his mind...

Too weak!!!

Compared to the true masters of this world, their strength is far too insignificant!

This bloody truth, laid bare before him, left Mr.1, once the number one assassin in the West Sea, feeling extremely resentful!

He has decided that after this battle is over, he will ask his new boss, Crimson...

Whether it's sacrificing loyalty or his body, he must find a way to become stronger!

"Of course I know~"

Upon hearing her old partner's words, Miss. Shuangshou immediately pouted unhappily.

Just then, the rock pressing down on Crocodile suddenly emitted an unusual sound.

The hard rock surface suddenly blurred, as if it had undergone thousands of years of tempering, and suddenly turned into a pile of dust and gravel.

As a gentle breeze swept by, all the rocks vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, an arm burst out of the sand, revealing Crocodile's disheveled figure.

"Why...why have you suddenly become so powerful?!"

Crocodile looked at the Baroque Soldiers, who had learned various Pokémon moves, with a puzzled expression.

Whew!

A gust of sand swept by.

Crocodile slowly descended to the ground under the force of the sandstorm, his chest heaving with blood and qi, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

"That damn bastard!!!"

His voice was hoarse, and his emotions became irritable, angry, and irrational, but the aura emanating from his body also became domineering, sharp, and heavy along with his emotions!

"crimson!!!"

Crocodile raised his head, staring at Crimson with eyes wide with fury.

At this moment, he finally put away the arrogance and contempt he had developed on the Grand Line and regarded Crimson as a true enemy who could be his equal!

He had not understood why his subordinates would defect to the enemy.

But after seeing the strange powers displayed by Mr. 1 and the others, he seemed to understand everything!

"You're the one who orchestrated all of this, aren't you?!" he shouted at the crimson figure in the air.

However, the next moment, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he laughed loudly, shouting:

"I must admit, your abilities are truly unprecedented!"

"But if you think that this is all it takes to make you arrogant in front of me..."

"You're being incredibly naive!!!"

"I am... Crocodile!!!"

"what--!!!!"

Crocodile let out a hoarse roar from deep in his throat.

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out!

The earth seemed to tremble suddenly.

Suddenly, a cloud of yellow sand rose up behind Crocodile and quickly condensed into a vast desert storm, like a desert god roaring and surging towards the direction where Red and the others were.

"Hey, hey~ are you kidding me!?"

Miss. Shuangzhi, who had just been feeling proud of her victory over Crocodile, turned deathly pale upon seeing this.

The other agents around her were the same.

Of everyone present, only Red and Robin, who had seen many big scenes, remained calm.

Gazing at the desert storm sweeping in from afar, Crimson couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"As expected of a veteran top-tier pirate, even though his strength has declined significantly, he can still unleash such power while his body is soaked in seawater..."

"Even Luffy right now can't do this!"

Despite saying this, in the face of the disaster before her, Crimson simply opened her arms and, mimicking Crocodile's posture, suddenly summoned a large row of dimensional portals on both sides of her body as much as possible!

In an instant...

The endless seawater seemed to have a hole in the sky, falling vertically towards the earth below.

A waterfall plunges three thousand feet!

But before the seawater could completely sink into the earth and be absorbed by the endless yellow sand, the crimson sky had already raised its arms once more:

"surf!!!"

boom!!!

Under Crimson's control, the originally cascading seawater instantly converged in front of him.

Unlike surfing created by Pokémon energy...

All of this real seawater from the ocean is within the control range of the Crimson Surfing move!

With the magical and powerful technique of the Dimensional Cave, he can turn any battle on land into a naval battle!

And so, a colossal wave, obscuring the sky and the sun, mysteriously appeared in this arid desert and surged forward with tremendous force.

Although surf attacks made of seawater are less aggressive than surf attacks made of Pokémon energy.

But it has one advantage...
