The son of the dragon who walks

Ciel looked at Crocodile, who was full of embarrassment, but became a little more serious.

After all, Ciel did not have the protagonist aura of Luffy, and Crocodile actually exploded during the battle.

It's actually inappropriate to say that it was an explosion. Crocodile just regained his previous strength.

Crocodile's two most dazzling achievements were his tie with the Devil's Successor Barret and his challenge to the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, and his survival.

Let’s not talk about the latter. Barrett, the former opponent, doesn’t know what it means to be merciful.

Even though Barrett had not yet reached the peak level of beating Supernova at the Pirate World Expo at that time, it was impossible for Crocodile to be able to draw with him without mastering Haki.

But on the one hand, after being defeated by Whitebeard, he only thought about relying on the power of ancient weapons for revenge. It was obvious that his mentality was completely broken.

On the other hand, Crocodile, like Kizaru, is the type that Zefa said only focuses on fruit abilities.

As a result, his domineering power was completely degraded, but even though Kizaru was partial to science, he had no shortcomings, and his fruits were developed to the extreme.Crocodile can only sink to the point where he loses to newcomers.

But after Ciel defeated him mercilessly, the strong stimulation allowed him to regain some of his former strength.

The most exciting thing for Crocodile was that he was almost helpless in the battle, which was something that didn't happen when he fought Whitebeard.

Crocodile didn't think Ciel was stronger than the monster Whitebeard, so there was only one answer, and that was that he had become weaker.

As if awakening from a dream, Crocodile finally faced himself squarely.

Being severely beaten by Ciel, the effect was no worse than losing to Luffy in the original plot, and having a dragon field enlightenment in Impel Down City.

Looking at the somewhat resembling Crocodile, Ciel was not completely disappointed.After all, defeating a wasted loser is a waste of time for Ciel.

Crocodile spat out blood and did not use the fruit ability like before, but assumed a close combat posture.

Ace was standing far away with Luffy in his arms. Luffy, who was still struggling to join the fight, suddenly became quiet. Ace lowered his head and saw Luffy's serious expression.

"Luffy, what's wrong with you?"

Luffy shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that that guy has become different. If I could win before, I will definitely lose now!"

Ace couldn't help but sigh that although his younger brother had always been rough and twitchy, his intuition was still as strong as ever.

Although Crocodile is scarred now, he is much more dangerous than before. You can tell it just by looking at him.

Ciel was not as casual as before, and assumed a relatively serious posture.

The next moment, the two men rushed towards each other and collided with each other.It's just that the location of the collision was not in the middle of the two, but closer to Crocodile's position.

This represents Ciel's greater explosiveness and strength.

Ciel's fist hit Crocodile's tilted head, and the wind caused by the fist blew up the sand behind him.

"Oh, has the sense of sight and hearing recovered as well?"

Crocodile's ability to dodge Ciel's punch naturally relied on the power of Haki.

The power of every world has its merits. The power of seeing and hearing Haki can excellently sense the opponent's attack method. This is something that Ciel's ability to read Qi cannot match.

But in contrast, Ciel's ability to sense the enemy's malice, emotions, and strength through Qi is also better than seeing and hearing Haki.

Crocodile ignored the wounds on his face caused by the wind of the fist, raised his fist and hit Ciel. The fist was also covered with a layer of black luster.

Crocodile's fist hit Ciel's palm in front of his abdomen, causing Ciel to take a step back.

Compared to Ciel, Crocodile retreated further after being punched.But the distance was just to make it easier for Crocodile to launch a stronger attack.

After all, Crocodile is not good at physical skills, so he won't be able to gain any advantage in close combat.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile waved his arm and slashed at him with four huge sand blades entwined with armed domineering energy.

Before the sand blade could attack, four neat traces on the ground had already spread over.

Xiaerza dismounted, raised his arms and grabbed the two sand blades that would hit him with one hand.

This time, the sand blade did not collapse at the first touch, but instead violently clashed with Ciel's palm.It was different after being entangled with armed Haki. Flames burst out from Ciel's hands, and then he tore the sand blade into pieces.

But to be honest, what surprised Ciel the most was Crocodile's strength.

During the battle with Kaido, perhaps because I already knew that it was a monster with an abnormally thick health bar, I didn't think anything of it.

However, Crocodile is not the kind of person who is good at endurance. After being beaten by Ciel, he still had the physical strength to use this level of domineering, which was indeed beyond Ciel's expectation.

But in this world, everyone has a blood cow. Isn’t it normal for Crocodile to be like this?
While sighing, Ciel also started his own counterattack. With one step, yellow sand flew everywhere, and Ciel approached Crocodile.

The sand under Crocodile's feet surged like waves, and the sand waves blocked Ciel like a city wall.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Strike!"

Crocodile, who was behind the waves of sand, could detect Ciel's every move through his Haki.

He "saw" Ciel's arms go from open to crossed in front of him, and then two scorching lines swept over him.

Crocodile jumped up subconsciously, and then saw two long flame whips cutting the sand wall into four pieces like cutting tofu, leaving two long burning marks in the air.

The sand wall collapsed, and Crocodile saw Ciel approaching.

Crocodile's body collapsed into sand in mid-air. He activated elementalization in advance to disperse his body, followed by Ciel's fist.

The yellow sand condensed again, wrapping Ciel's arm, and the condensed yellow sand extended out to form Crocodile's body.

The sand wrapping Ciel's arm was slowly forming the shape of a palm.

Crocodile's strongest ability is in his palm. As long as he grabs it, the water in his body will be forcibly extracted.

Obviously he also planned to deal with Ciel in this way.

"I'm really not used to being held by men like this!"

The sand on Ciel's wrist was instantly heated to a blazing red color, and was about to melt.

The red sand flew out together with Crocodile himself, forming a human shape in the distance.

Crocodile looked at his severely burned palms, his expression became even more serious.But he was not allowed to think too much, because Ciel's attack was already in front of him.

The fist wrapped in flames struck, and even though Crocodile controlled a large amount of sand to block it, it was all blown away.

Before Crocodile could reply, Ciel swept over with his leg and kicked him away.

In a hurry, Crocodile fired the desert sword more than a dozen times in an attempt to interrupt Ciel's attack.

Flames appeared on both sides of Ciel's mouth, and then he opened his mouth and aimed at the sand blade that was coming towards him.

The pillar of fire spurted out and swallowed up all the sand blades, forcing Crocodile to roll around like a lazy donkey and hide out at that time.

There is nothing to do... This is the desperate thought that appeared in Crocodile's mind.He couldn't find any flaws in Ciel, which reminded him of the time when he faced Whitebeard.

Charles also felt that Crocodile had reached his limit and said, "It's still a stretch, but it's time to finish the work!"

Crocodile's pupils tightened. The burst of magic power from Charles made him feel as if he were looking directly into the abyss, and in the darkness he could only see a pair of open vertical pupils.

By the time he came to his senses, Ciel had already taken a punching stance.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Crocodile roared angrily, and his body turned into yellow sand. After absorbing a large amount of yellow sand, his whole body expanded on the spot, and finally turned into a yellow sand giant more than ten meters tall.The huge hook in his hand was covered with the last of his armed haki, and he hit Ciel hard.

Everyone in the distance saw this huge yellow sand giant, and while they were marveling at the strength of Crocodile, the Shichibukai, they saw a flaming meteor flying up.

The meteor smashed into the huge hook, shattered the arm, and finally shattered the yellow sand giant's body.

"Krokdal...lost!" Everyone couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.
