Who made him the Pirate King?

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

Storm looked at the big diamond trophy that jumped out of the void and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Before, he defeated the big bear and won a diamond trophy, and he felt that the trophy was of low level;

Now he defeated Crocodile Crocodile and got a diamond trophy again, and he felt that the trophy was of high level.

After all, in Storm's impression, Crocodile's strength level was too erratic.

Let's say Crocodile is strong.

Even four years later, he was beaten to pieces by the fledgling Sun God and his home court was flat;

Let's say Crocodile is weak.

Even in the war at the top, this guy can roam around and fight with all kinds of strong men.

Especially the young Crocodile Crocodile.

He is a "supernova" who can compete with the devil's heir Douglas Barrett!

In the end, he was old and he was done for...

It can even be said that he was not old and he was done for...

To be fair.

Crocodile is still remarkable in the development of the ability of [Sand-Sand Fruit].

For example, the "Crescent-Shaped Sand Dunes" he used in the battle just now, and the "Erosion Cycle" that he has not yet used.

These moves are not ordinary "sand control" moves.

Instead, based on "sand control", the "water-drawing" and even "drying" abilities have been developed!

It's just... not very expressive.

"It's really a confusing strength rating..."

Storm shook his head and stopped worrying about this little problem.

He looked at Crocodile, who had rolled his eyes and lost consciousness, and thought for a moment, then looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside him.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon spread its wings and flew high, heading towards the rainy land behind.

In less than a moment.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon returned again.

Its round belly, which was originally white and moist, now looked bulging, like a thin-skinned water bag filled with water.

The blue-eyed white dragon flew back to Storm's side, and it opened its mouth wide towards Crocodile.

"RUA——"

Dragon King Spray Water!

The blue-eyed white dragon sprayed all the cold water in its belly onto Crocodile's head.

Crocodile, who was unconscious just now, was suddenly awakened by the attack of this "Dragon King Spray Water".

The embarrassed sand crocodile saw Storm's figure the moment he opened his eyes.

His pupils immediately shrank to a pinprick, and at this time he did not care about his embarrassed appearance, and rolled out immediately.

It was like a real golden banana crocodile performing a "death roll".

Crocodile rolled dozens of times in the desert, and only after he was completely away from Storm did he get up from the ground.

"Go to hell!"

Crocodile released the power of the [Sand-Sand Fruit] without hesitation, turning his hands into four huge sand knives.

"White Dragon!"

"Desert Diamond Sword! "

The battle resumed.

Storm yawned in boredom.

He had already figured out Crocodile's true strength and had obtained his [Diamond Trophy].

At this moment, Storm didn't want to waste time with Crocodile.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, avoiding the attack of the "Desert Diamond Sword".

The next moment, Storm's figure appeared in front of Crocodile as if traveling through space.

[Momo Fruit·Hundred Times Speed]!

Storm raised his right fist, and the fist was wrapped with the dark and deep [Armament Haki].

"Have you heard of..."

Storm swung his right fist, with extreme speed and extreme impact.

"Is speed equal to power? "

Bang!

Storm's armed iron fist hit Crocodile's lower abdomen fiercely.

Under this fast and fierce "abdomen punch".

Crocodile's eyes bulged out, and his body curled up like a fried shrimp.

The whole person then flew backwards hundreds of meters towards the desert behind.

When he landed, Crocodile lost consciousness again and fainted.

In Storm's sight, a [Big Trophy] jumped out again.

[Platinum Trophy: Sand Crocodile]

"Now there are only five stars..."

Storm shook his head and looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside him.

"Ah~"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon called out and then flew to the rainy land behind.

Fill water, transport water, spray water.

Crocodile was "forced to start" again.

He was easily defeated by a strange kid he had never met twice in a row.

Crocodile felt a splitting headache and a cramping stomach.

His mentality also collapsed a little.

This time.

After waking up, Crocodile released his ultimate move without thinking--

"Erosion Reincarnation!"

Crocodile slammed his right palm heavily on the ground, and the power of [Sand-Sand Fruit] was vented without reservation.

Under the influence of this power.

Everything around, from the earth, to the grass and trees, and even the solid rocks, was all powdered into sand!

"So strong! Too strong! "

Storm stood there and clapped his hands softly.

The next moment.

Storm decisively activated the [Momo Fruit·Hundred Times Speed].

His running speed directly surpassed the speed of sound at this moment, and even the sound was left behind by him.

Storm came to Crocodile again, he raised his right hand and used his secret technique——

The wordless "belly fist"!

Bang!

Storm's fist hit Crocodile's stomach again.

The latter felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The words that Storm just said were heard by Crocodile at this time.

"So strong... too strong..."

It was obviously a word of praise, but to Crocodile at this time it sounded like a mockery from the enemy.

The light receded and darkness came.

Crocodile was easily knocked down by Storm again.

And this time, the [Big Trophy] he provided was only four stars...

[Golden Trophy: Sha Crocodile]

Storm ignored the golden trophy and ordered the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which had been filled with water in advance, to fly forward.

"RUA——"

The Dragon King sprayed water again!

Crocodile was soaked again.

But this time,

Crocodile was too weak to get up.

Or rather.

Crocodile didn't want to move anymore.

He was covered in water stains and lay flat on the desert, like a wild dog with a broken spine.

He was defeated by the same person one after another.

Even if he used his strongest moves, he couldn't do anything to the enemy.

He couldn't even beat a kid he had never met, and he still fantasized about finding ancient weapons, rushing into the new world, and killing Whitebeard?

The fire of Crocodile's dream was extinguished at this moment.

Tired, destroy it, quickly...

The heart of Tao is broken, nothing is better than this.

Storm walked slowly to Crocodile's side, looking down at the Shichibukai lying flat on the spot.

"Finally calmed down?"

Crocodile put his hands on his lower abdomen, he opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and had no desire to speak.

"What? Haven't you woken up completely yet?"

Storm raised his eyebrows and looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside him.

"Go, sprinkle some water on Crocodile-sama."

"... That's enough! White Dragon!"

Crocodile was finally willing to speak, but he still lay in the desert, only "gouging" Storm with his peripheral vision.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Vongola Storm."

"What?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Vongola Storm."

Storm extended his right hand to Crocodile.

"Be my friend, Crocodile."

"..."

The sudden invitation of "friend" made Crocodile's brain freeze a little.

After a long while, he sneered.

"Friend? Ha!"

Crocodile climbed up from the ground with his body in severe pain, without even looking at Storm's palm.

"Don't be so naive, White Dragon!"

"What do you want? Fame? Wealth? Or my head?"

"What's so good about these boring things? "

Storm retracted his right hand awkwardly.

"But I do have something, or a plan, that I need your help with.

"Are you interested in the 'Pirate Emperor'?"

Crocodile was surprised by Storm's words again.

"...Pirate Emperor? Do you mean the 'Four Emperors'?"

"That's right!"

Storm smiled brightly.

"I have a plan to bring down the Four Emperors!"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Storm's words, Crocodile also laughed, but it was a disdainful laugh, a mocking laugh.

"So you're just a kid!

"The Pirate Emperor is more powerful than you can imagine!"

Storm looked at Crocodile with a mocking face.

He suddenly said.

"You're afraid."

"What?"

The mockery on Crocodile's face subsided a little.

Storm said calmly.

"You're afraid. "

Several veins burst out on Crocodile's forehead.

"...What are you talking about?"

"What 'the power of the Pirate Emperor', what 'unimaginable power'..."

Storm spoke his mind.

"This idea, as boring and poisonous as the scorpion poop in the desert, has already cost you your life!

"Crocodile, I thought you at least had the courage to challenge the Four Emperors.

"I didn't expect that the person in front of me was just a coward who didn't even dare to think about it!

"What 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'? It's just a walking corpse, a pile of dry bones in a grave!"

After saying these words.

Storm raised his right hand again, and [Armament Haki] wrapped around his fist, making an attacking posture.

"Crocodile, let me take you on your way..."

"Wait!"

Crocodile clenched his fist.

He was very reluctant to admit that what Storm said just now did touch him...

He stayed in a paradise country like Alabasta for too long.

Today, Crocodile suddenly realized that his abilities had been wasted for too long, and even his [Haki] no longer existed...

"How do we do the plan you just mentioned, the one about the 'Pirate Emperor'?"

"The plan is very simple."

Storm disarmed his armament and said lightly.

"Follow me, rush into the new world and challenge the Pirate Emperor directly!"

Krokdal looked at Storm and said something in his mind.

He is still a little devil after all...
