Pirates: Starting from the Demon King of Uta.

Chapter 62 The golden lion takes full responsibility

The Golden Lion is primarily responsible for Link and Uta being so reckless.

When he was in the world of strong men, Golden Lion would talk about how powerful he was every time he chatted. He didn't care about any navy, and there were only a few people in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Every time they told these old stories, Gordon and Indigo nodded in agreement.

They all came from that era, and they knew very well what kind of big pirate the Golden Lion was.

But that was all in the past.

At that time, the golden lion's head had not yet been inserted into the rudder, his legs were still healthy, and his three-color domineering and swordsmanship were among the best in the world.

There was really nothing wrong with saying that at that time.

But it's a bit wrong to say that more than 20 years later. The Golden Lion's strength has dropped to the top ranks, but he kept his mouth there.

This also led to Link, who was [-]-[-] equal to the Golden Lion, to think that he was invincible, and then infected Uta.

This also made Uta become a little arrogant and felt that everyone was weak.

Just like now, Uta sat on the railing of the ship with a smile, not paying attention to Crocodile.

Crocodile was very calm, and slowly took a puff of his cigar. The smoke he exhaled made it difficult to see his expression.

The surrounding area has been cleared, giving them enough fighting space. Looking at the smiling Link, he doesn't care about the other party's contempt. This kind of high-spirited pirates are the most common on the sea.

A golden slash flew towards Crocodile, but he stood motionless. The slash struck directly on Crocodile's body and then penetrated through.

The split body did not have a trace of blood, but turned into dry sand that kept flowing. The split body returned to its original shape with the continuous flow of sand.

"Oh, you are an elemental system user."

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the strange appearance of the opponent reminded Link of the time when the Golden Lion taught him how to deal with such a person.

"It's natural."

After correcting Link's mistake, Crocodile came to Link's side in an instant, and the golden hook on his wrist hit Link directly on the head.

A crisp ding sound.

Link raised his hand and swung his sword to block Crocodile's attack. The snow-white blade was covered in armament-colored Haki and turned dark.

"Domineering?"

Crocodile raised his eyebrows. Domination was considered a rarity in the first half of the Grand Line. Most people here relied on their own bodies and abilities to fight.

But considering that the opponent can kill the veteran lieutenant general of Flying Squirrel, it is very reasonable to master the domineering force.

He flicked Crocodile away with his sword, but his right hand suddenly became a little stiff, making Link look over in confusion.

The originally tight arms became a little dry, like bones that had been lying in a coffin for many years.

When I moved curiously, my arms were extremely stiff and difficult to control.

"It seems like there's no water?"

Putting his arm in front of his eyes and observing carefully, Link finally came to this conclusion. Crocodile did not take advantage of this moment to attack, which seemed very martial.

"My ability can absorb moisture from any object it touches. If it had been a little later, you would have turned into a mummy by now."

Crocodile opened his mouth to explain, folding his arms and standing on the rooftop looking down at Link.

Although he didn't know why Crocodile wanted to explain his ability, Link also understood the reason.

I did feel his arm being touched just now.Understanding the principle, Link immediately used Life Return to restore his arm, moved it soothingly, and then said to Crocodile: "I am a dual-sword swordsman."

Although I don’t know when it became popular to introduce one’s abilities during a fight, but watching Crocodile introduce his abilities, Link said it without thinking.

"I can see it."

No more nonsense, a small tornado condensed in Crocodile's palm, and he threw it towards Link. As it got further away from Crocodile, the tornado composed of wind and sand became bigger and bigger, reaching as high as [-] meters in an instant. tens of meters.

He chopped it into pieces with two knives and then slashed it behind him.

This Wind Salon Scroll was just a move to attract Link's attention. Crocodile's body had already turned into wind and sand and came behind Link.

The golden hook in his left hand continued to attack Link's head, and his right hand came down, attacking Link's abdomen.

He swung the knife to knock the golden hook away again, and slashed Crocodile's right hand with the other knife.

Seeing the armed domineering energy attached to the knife, Crocodile immediately activated his elementalization in advance to avoid the blow. With Link's power, he stepped back, raised his right hand high, and once again turned into wind sand and extended for dozens of meters.

"Desert Sword!"

The giant sword made of wind and sand solidified instantly and was swung at Link.

He raised his sword to resist, and a huge force came suddenly. The ground he was standing on couldn't bear the force and began to collapse. Link was knocked to the ground.

The Desert Sword almost added a street that ran from beginning to end to Rapeseed Flower Port. Straight cracks appeared on the ground, and all the houses along the way were cut off.

Standing underground, it feels like you are in a rift valley. Fortunately, the crack is not deep, only a dozen meters high, and you can get out with a simple jump.

"This is powerful enough."

Link smiled and gave Crocodile a thumbs up, which was much more powerful than the previous Marine.

"Come on, let's start fighting!"

After twisting his neck and making two clear crisp sounds, Link took the knife and slashed at Crocodile repeatedly.

Crocodile also used the golden hook in his hand to block them one by one, but this also made his heart slowly sink.

The fierce attack is getting faster and faster, and Link's power is also increasing.

Throwing out a Shalan again, ending the close battle with Link, he turned over backwards and supported the ground with one hand. The solid stone bricks became shattered. With Crocodile as the center, everything around him began to pulverize into sand.

Erosion cycle!

Link is a bit difficult to deal with. Not in the desert, Crocodile can only use his own abilities to create a home field advantage.

Looking at Crocodile's actions, Link immediately understood the other party's purpose and had no intention of stopping him.

"Why waste all this effort? Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to just go into the desert and fight?"

Raising his hand and pointing his knife at the desert in the distance, Link began to propose exchanging the fighting location.

"Oh, I really don't know the heights of the world."

Crocodile stopped moving, but in just two words, the surrounding area had been eroded by him for nearly a hundred meters.

Turning into sand and flying up into the sky, he stared at Link condescendingly and said calmly: "Kid, based on your words, after defeating you, I will consider letting you go."

Although the fight was not over yet, Crocodile had already spoken about the winner's declaration, stared at Link's playful expression, said "Don't lose him," and then turned into wind and flew towards the endless desert in the north.

Link was very fast and immediately caught up with Crocodile, and the two slowly left the Rapeseed Port.
