Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Crocodile's expression instantly turned serious.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings, shaking off the lingering effects of the Desert Blade, and continued charging towards the Sand Crocodile.

Crocodile, relying on the physical immunity of the Sand-Sand Fruit, stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

At the same time, he raised his right hand once again, transforming his arm into a crescent-shaped sand blade.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew to the Sand Crocodile's front and suddenly launched its attack—

"Dragon Strike!"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's enormous size unleashed terrifying power, instantly crushing Crocodile's body into dust.

But Crocodile still didn't forget to wave his right hand at the white dragon that had come to him of its own accord.

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

This sand knife is unlike the "desert treasure knife" from before.

The crescent-shaped sand blade formed by the "Crescent Sand Dune" struck the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body, but did not cause direct damage.

It simply took away the "moisture" from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body!

This is a terrifying move that, if it hits, will drain all the moisture from the enemy's body!

The sandstorm blew and then gathered again.

Crocodile's figure reappeared in the same spot.

He turned to look at the blue-eyed white dragon flying away, his gaze focused on the part of the "crescent-shaped sand dune" that had been struck.

The once pristine white scales of the blue-eyed white dragon now appeared strangely dry, like earth that had not been irrigated by rain for many years.

The body of the blue-eyed white dragon was covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks, which was quite frightening.

Even stranger.

Every time the blue-eyed white dragon moved, fine dust would fall from the cracks in the tortoise shell, like dust falling off.

"strangeness……"

Crocodile frowned and clenched his fist as he watched the Blue-Eyes White Dragon continuously lose its "pink".

"Is this dragon... really alive?"

If we absolutely have to let Crocodile give his opinion...

At this moment, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon looked like a dehydrated, cracked dragon statue.

Click——click——

The blue-eyed white dragon, its body dry and cracked, flapped its wings once more, but its violent movements caused further damage to its body.

Large chunks of dried, dehydrated clay fell from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body.

At first glance, it looks just like a snake shedding its skin.

After the Blue-Eyes White Dragon actively separated the body parts that had lost moisture and could not move normally, it regained its agility.

However, its overall size appears to have shrunk considerably.

"What the hell!"

Crocodile's brow furrowed deeply.

He was starting to feel more and more that the white dragon in front of him was not a normal creature!

"Let's just kill him!"

Crocodile once again transforms his right arm into a crescent-shaped sand blade, which is the starting stance for "Crescent Dune".

But just then, an unfamiliar voice rang out behind Crocodile.

"You are……"

One second ago, the sound seemed to come from a hundred meters away.

But the next second, the voice rang out behind Crocodile's head.

"A sand crocodile?"

Crocodile was startled and quickly turned around to check what the enemy looked like.

But the moment he turned around, everything suddenly went black.

A dark right hand, wrapped in Armament Haki, completely blocked Crocodile's vision!

Snapped!

Ian's right hand gripped Crocodile's face like a vise.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

With the help of Armament Haki, he successfully captured the true form of this "sand crocodile"!

Before Crocodile could react...

Ian grabbed the sand crocodile's head like a ball and slammed it hard against the ground.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted.

Under Ian's monstrous strength, the entire earth was instantly smashed into a huge crater several meters in diameter.

Crocodile lay flat in the center of the deep pit, bleeding from his mouth and nose, looking utterly wretched.

Ian stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at Crocodile below.

"Crocodile, you rely too much on your Devil Fruit powers!"

"Domineering..."

Crocodile fought off the dizziness that was washing over him.

He opened his eyes and looked out of the pit. In the backlight, he could only see a white coat.

"navy?"

"Are you senile?!"

Ian chuckled and waved towards the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The blue-eyed white dragon immediately flew back to his side, transformed into a small dragon, and curled up on his shoulder.

.. .... 0

Crocodile stood up, shook his head vigorously, and finally came to his senses.

He looked at the "naval officer" who had just used Armament Haki.

But they discovered that the other party was just an excessively young stranger.

What Crocodile found even more shameful was...

The white coat the other person was wearing was not some kind of naval "justice coat".

It was just an ordinary white coat...

"Kid!"

Crocodile was furious, absolutely furious.

Who do you think I am?!

The moment the words fell.

Crocodile suddenly activated his Sand-Sand Fruit ability, and his entire body disappeared into the earth like quicksand.

Seeing this, a sharp red light flashed in Ian's eyes, and his Observation Haki silently activated to search for the enemy.

Within Ian's Observation Haki perception.

Crocodile charged toward his location at breakneck speed, like a man-eating crocodile diving into a "sea of ​​sand".

The next moment.

Crocodile leaped from the "sand sea," his right arm transforming once again into the shape of a sand blade, slashing towards Ian with lightning speed.

"Desert Greatsword!"

Crocodile's "desert greatsword" came down with overwhelming force, as if it would "cut Ian in two."

But how could Ian, who had already anticipated Crocodile's attack route, be hit?

Ian raised his right hand, and hard clay surged forth, enveloped in Armament Haki, before slamming it down heavily!

It was as if they had foreseen the future.

The instant Crocodile's "Desert Greatsword" leaped off the ground.

Ian's fist, imbued with Haki, slammed directly into Crocodile's Sand Blade.

click-

The seemingly indestructible desert greatsword shattered instantly under Ian's Armament Haki-infused fist, breaking into two pieces.

Crocodile was immediately stunned.

Ian seized the fleeting opportunity, slightly retracted his right fist, and then slammed it forward heavily.

boom!

Ian's Armament Haki-infused fist slammed into Crocodile's head.

The renowned "King of the Desert" saw his eyes instantly turn white under this merciless iron fist.

[Diamond Chest: Crocodile]

[Treasure Chest Rating: ★★★★★★] Dead.

Chapter 80 I have a plan that can bring down the Four Emperors!

"Crocodile's strength is actually six-star?"

Ian looked at the diamond system treasure chest that jumped out of the void and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

He had previously defeated the bear and obtained a diamond treasure chest, but felt the chest was of a low level.

Now that he has defeated the sand crocodile and obtained the diamond treasure chest, he feels that the treasure chest is of a higher level.

After all, in Ian's memory, Crocodile's strength level was too unpredictable.

Let's say Crocodile is strong.

Even four years later, he was still defeated by the fledgling Sun God, his Dao heart shattered, and he was forced to lie flat on his home turf.

Saying Crocodile is weak is one thing.

Even during the Marineford War, this guy could roam around and fight various powerful opponents to a standstill.

Especially young sand crocodiles.

He's even a "supernova" who can rival Douglas Barrett, the son of the devil!

As a result, I developed diarrhea when I got old...

You could even say he had diarrhea before he got old...

To be fair.

Crocodile's development of the Sand-Sand Fruit's abilities is quite commendable.

Examples include the "Crescent Sand Dune" he used in the battle just now, and the "Erosion Cycle" he hadn't had a chance to use yet.

These are not ordinary "sand control" techniques.

Instead, based on "sand control", they developed the alien "270" ability to "draw water" and even "dry up"!

It's just... lacking in expressiveness.

"This strength rating is truly baffling..."

Ian shook his head, no longer dwelling on this small matter.

He glanced at Crocodile, whose eyes had rolled back and who was unconscious, then thought for a moment before looking at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside him.
