Who made him the Pirate King?

Edward Weibull's physical fitness is indeed very strong.

But Crocodile's [Shasha Fruit] can just restrain this kind of "Physical Flow Opponent" with well-developed limbs and simple mind.

The water in Edward Weibull's body was completely absorbed by the sand, and his whole body was as dry as light straw. It seemed that a gust of wind could blow him away, completely losing his ability to fight.

In a sense.

[Shasha Fruit] indeed has the special effect of "killing with one hit".

After all, not everyone has mastered the special ability of "sit-ups". After being completely drained of water from the body several times, they can still get up again and engage in new battles with full energy...

Crocodile takes out Edward Weeble.

Buckingham Stussy tried to escape, but was caught directly by the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

The battle is completely over.

Crocodile then dispelled his [Shasha Fruit] ability, and no longer allowed the "Corrosion Reincarnation" to spread its scope of influence unbridled.

But despite this, this area on Golden Island was still turned into a desert!

Natural Devil Fruits are so powerful and special.

When the natural devil fruit is developed to a certain extent, its ability effects are very likely to cause irreversible changes to the surrounding natural environment when it is released, and thus have a permanent impact on the surrounding natural environment.

For example, [Rock Fruit] or [Frozen Fruit], these two natural Devil Fruits can permanently change the climate of an island...

Crocodile's [Shasha Fruit] has not been developed enough to permanently change the surrounding environment, but the "erosion cycle" he just released did cause irreversible changes to the surrounding environment.

And as Crocodile dispelled the ability of [Shasha Fruit], Storm no longer maintained the clay ground in that small area.

"Lao Sha."

Storm walked to Crocodile's side and looked curiously at Edward Weibull who was unable to move.

"Can your [Shasha Fruit] help people lose weight?"

Crocodile was still immersed in the joy of defeating "Whitebeard".

Although Edward Weeble was not Edward Newgate, the gap in strength between the two was as vast as a world of difference.

But who gave Edward Weeble his signature crescent beard?

Crocodile defeated Edward Weeble.

Round it up.

It was he who defeated Whitebeard in his youth!

However, when Strom's question reached Crocodile's ears, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"……What?"

"lose weight."

Storm looked at Edward Weibull, who was as shriveled as a zombie, and made a rough gesture.

"If I throw cold water on Edward Weeble now, will he be the same again?

"Or, will he become 'thinner'?"

Storm knows that there is a person in the sea who has the ability to cause a "weight loss" effect.

Coincidentally, the opponent is also a natural devil fruit user, and can also extract water from the enemy's body.

[Natural Department·Sensen Fruit].

Crocodile was left speechless by Storm's inexplicable question.

After a long while, he uttered two words very coldly.

"boring."

After finishing his words, Crocodile walked directly towards Buckingham Stussy and his son.

At this moment, a dark and heavy cross sword stopped his steps.

Crocodile stopped and frowned as he looked at the "former" world's greatest swordsman.

"Hawkeye?"

"I don't care how you deal with that woman."

Hawkeye Mihawk said calmly, while retracting his [Black Knife Night].

"But don't kill that young whitebeard just yet, I'm a little interested in him."

Hawkeye Mihawk originally wanted to challenge Edward Weibull.

But Crocodile's sudden outburst caught him off guard.

In addition, he, Sand Crocodile, and White Dragon all besieged Edward Weibull... It was really a bit too much.

Therefore, Hawkeye Mihawk temporarily withdrew from this sparring competition.

But now.

Edward Weibull has been defeated by the Sand Crocodile.

Hawkeye Mihawk also wants to try the true level of "Whitebeard III" who is suspected of inheriting the power of Whitebeard in his youth.

"I'm also very interested in him, Lao Sha."

Storm then said.

"Leave this person to me."

The majestic Whitebeard III Edward Weeble.

In the mouths of Storm, Hawkeye Mihawk and Crocodile, they were like pieces of pig waiting to be slaughtered.

However, no one present had any opinions.

The only old woman who has any objections has not yet woken up...

After Mihawk and Storm interrupted, some of Crocodile's thoughts dissipated a lot.

"Forget it, I'll leave these two to you!"

Crocodile simply ignored Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weeble and said calmly.

"I have no interest in such weak enemies."

"lie."

Storm sneered and directly exposed Crocodile's lie.

"Old Sha, if you were not interested in Buckingham Stussy, why would you be so excited to fight with him just now?"

"White Dragon...you bastard!"

The calm expression that Crocodile deliberately maintained could no longer be maintained in an instant. Several veins sprouted on his forehead, and his right arm also turned into sand, and wisps of yellow sand flowed down from his body.

"Do you want to fight?"

"I won't take advantage of you."

Storm didn't mind testing Crocodile's mettle.

But after all, the other party had just experienced a battle.

"Give you some rest."

"I don't need that kind of thing!"

Crocodile snorted coldly, abandoned Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weeble, turned into a burst of wild sand, and rushed towards Storm's position.

"Go to hell! White Dragon!"

"Tsk!"

Storm let out a sigh of relief. Two red lights flashed in his eyes, and he directly understood Crocodile's fighting intentions.

"Let me see how much you've grown!"

Crocodile's right arm turned into a huge and heavy sand knife. The dark [Armed Color Haki] was mixed with the gravel, and the brown sand knife was "refined" into a huge "black knife" .

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

laugh--

Full of rage, Crocodile waved the desert diamond sword in his hand, as if he was going to chop off the white dragon's head with one blow.

"Oh, that's good, it's [Domineering]!"

Storm's eyes lit up, and he slowly raised his left hand. The thick armed color dyed his left fist pitch black to resist the oncoming Desert King Kong sword.

clang--

Storm's fist collided with Crocodile's desert diamond sword.

The seemingly huge and powerful desert diamond sword immediately began to tremble violently.

On the other hand, Storm's fist was still firmly clamped there, motionless.

"But it's still too weak!"

It's too late, but it's soon.

Storm waved his right fist forward, and the jet-black iron fist that had also wrapped around the [Armed Haki] at an unknown moment struck Crocodile's lower abdomen with lightning speed.

Bang!

Storm's iron fist hit Crocodile firmly in the stomach.

The latter's eyes suddenly bulged, and his body curled up involuntarily, and memories after memories flashed through his mind.

When he was young, he once witnessed the destruction of the country by the Celestial Dragons and pirates in the Valley of the Gods...

In his youth, he became famous as a pirate and fought against Douglas Barrett, the descendant of the devil...

Braving the new world, he challenged the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, but suffered a humiliating defeat...

With her dreams shattered and her morale lost, she accepts the invitation of the World Government's King Shichibukai, hoping to use external forces to seek revenge...

Fragments of memories flashed through Crocodile's mind like a revolving lantern.

The last thought that came to his mind was -

'This bastard Bailong... his fists are so heavy...'

Crocodile, rush to the street.

The Sand Crocodile, who was so aggressive just now, wanted to cut off the white dragon's head.

He was hit in the lower abdomen by Bai Long's punch, and he lay limply on the ground.

In front of Storm's eyes, a brand new seven-star trophy jumped out of the void.

[Stars Trophy: Sand Crocodile Crocodile]

[Trophy Stars: ★★★★★★★]

‘Lao Sha is now a seven-star star? It’s a bit unexpected…’

Storm originally thought that Crocodile's current strength level was still only six-star, the same as when he first met him.

After all, after the brief battle just now, Crocodile's power level did not change much. He just awakened - or "restored" [Armed Haki].

There is progress, but not much.

Storm also didn't expect that Crocodile's strength level could be promoted from six-star to seven-star with just this small improvement...

But in any case, this is cheap for Storm.

"White Dragon."

Mihawk frowned unconsciously as he looked at Crocodile who was knocked down by Storm's punch.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Sand Crocodile?

"Would it hurt him too much if you did this?"

"What's so strange about this, Number Two."

Storm put away his fists, glanced at Hawkeye, and gave an example casually.

"If you had the chance to chop down Red-haired Shanks, would you hesitate?"

"Won't!"

Mihawk said decisively without any hesitation.

"However, the red hair now has no left hand. He is a swordsman and has even lost his usual sword-wielding hand...

"I'm no longer interested in that man."

in the past.

Mihawk often looks for Shanks to compete with each other. The two have similar levels of strength, and both can get the pleasure of fighting.

But not until six years ago.

Shanks lost an arm in the East China Sea...

Mihawk never went to Shanks to spar or compete again.

Because Shanks lost his left hand, the left hand he used to eat, drink, and kill people with a knife!

For a swordsman, without his dominant hand, the impact on his strength will definitely be huge.

In Mihawk's opinion.

Without his left hand, Shanks is no longer the red-haired man worthy of his attention.

So at this time.

That's why Mihawk said that he "has no interest in that man".

However.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Storm curled his lips and asked a question.

"Number Two, do you think 'One-handed Red Hair' is more powerful, or 'Two-handed Red Hair' is more powerful?"

Mihawk answered without hesitation.

"Of course two-handed!"

"Then the question is."

Storm continued to ask.

"Why is 'Two-handed Red Hair' not one of the Four Emperors, but 'One-handed Red Hair' has become one of the Four Emperors?"

Six years after losing his left hand, Red-haired Shanks reached the top in the New World and became the fourth Pirate Emperor in the eyes of the world.

This is something that everyone in the sea knows.

"..."

Mihawk fell silent, and he suddenly found that he could not answer this question.

Because this is reality.

Two-handed Red Hair, obviously should be stronger, but he is not the Pirate Emperor.

One-handed Red Hair, obviously should be weaker, but he became the Pirate Emperor.

Mihawk fell into deep thought.

There must be something fishy about this matter!
