"What's wrong? You seem surprised? "
Ross looked at Crocodile calmly. "Gradual progress in Battle should be a common phenomenon. You don't think I'm wasting my stamina meaninglessly."
In this world, Battle is always the best catalyst to improve strength. Before, Ross couldn't combine Armament Haki and the power of distortion perfectly, but in the confrontation with Crocodile, he gradually touched the point of coexistence of the two by using Haki and Distortion.
Ross intended to find an opportunity to use Gravity Distortion and defeat Crocodile with his new ability, but it was unfair to Crocodile to open a cheat in Battle and it was not in line with his aboveboard style of doing things and his principle of relying on himself to become stronger and to work hard.
So he only made preparations for the temporary addition of points and did not implement it.
"…"
Crocodile's face became ugly.
Ross's Haki and fruit ability cannot be perfectly combined, which is a big defect and weakness, and it is also the reason why he can be in a stalemate with Ross until now.
But now, this defect is being gradually overcome by Ross, and the final result of the Battle is obviously flying in a direction that he can't control.
"Sand Soldier Impact!"
Crocodile's face was gloomy as he stimulated Sand Sand Fruit with all his might. Countless dust and sand rolled up and gathered into a huge blade in the air, surrounding Ross in the center.
Under his control, the huge sand soldiers suddenly attacked Ross from all directions, intending to end the battle quickly and end the battle as soon as possible.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ross didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the giant sand soldier. He didn't even make any dodging movements. He just waved his fist to meet it. Every time his fist fell, a sand soldier was blown up by him and it couldn't produce any effective attack on him.
Crocodile guided with both hands and manipulated the sand underground, trying to perform a sand spear penetration, but before the sand spear could pierce out of the sand, Ross raised his foot and the power of distortion poured into the sand, instantly destroying the unformed sand spears.
In front of Sand Sand Fruit, it is difficult for Ross to fight for control of the sand, but similarly, Crocodile can hardly manipulate the sand on the ground at will.
"Don't you understand?"
Disintegrating Crocodile's offensive, Ross stepped out of the yellow sand and suddenly rushed to Crocodile.
"From the very beginning, the battle with you was to train my abilities."
Boom!
As his voice fell, Ross's fist suddenly fell, punching through Crocodile's sand shield, smashing his arms and smashing his head.
Crocodile, who was smashed into yellow sand, escaped from the ground and struggled to condense his figure dozens of meters away. This time, he recovered. There was obviously blood in his mouth and nose. Obviously, Ross's Distortion Fist had caused considerable damage to him!
"…"
Crocodile gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with killing intent, but at this time, he also knew that the balance of the battle had begun to tilt.
If he continues to fight with Ross, the possibility of winning is very low. Crocodile's thoughts flashed quickly and he finally chose to withdraw.
However …
At this point, it was no longer possible for him to leave even if he wanted to.
"I seem to have said from the beginning that since I made a move, I would have gambled my life." Ross looked at Crocodile indifferently and with a step under his feet, he chased after him.
"Sha Lan!"
Crocodile whispered and a sandstorm appeared in his palm and he threw it at Ross. At the same time, he turned into yellow sand and flew away in the wind.
Ross stepped on his feet and like a sharp arrow, he ran through the sandstorm. His right hand was instantly covered with black Armament Haki and he inserted it into the yellow sand and pulled it violently.
Crash!
The elementalization of Logia was directly captured and caught in front of Ross's two-color Haki. With a sharp pull from Ross, part of the yellow sand in the sky was pulled back, revealing Crocodile's figure.
Ross ignored Crocodile's dramatic expression and after pulling him back, he punched him.
Bang!
This time, Crocodile's body did not even collapse into yellow sand, but only a small part of his body collapsed and he flew back directly, spitting blood from his mouth.
"Berserk … Sha Lan!"
Crocodile felt the sharp pain in his chest and gritted his teeth. He has been to New World, experienced countless dangerous situations and even challenged Whitebeard, but he survived in the end. It is impossible for a pirate newcomer to kill him!
He roared and waved his hands violently. The yellow sand in a radius of 100 meters flew into the sky in an instant, bursting out with earth-shaking power and attacking Ross madly.
Far away.
Many civilians and guards of Alcaria saw this scene and could not help but be shocked. If this was in the desert, such a scene would not be much, but this was the Kingdom of Alcaria. That was a bustling street before!
In such a place, such a terrible sandstorm broke out, such a power, even for them on the Grand Line, it is a shock to them.
But.
Before they could be shocked by the monstrous sandstorm for a long time, there was a bang from the sandstorm. The raging sandstorm seemed to be frozen in time, instantly fixed and scattered downward.
About tens of meters in mid-air, two figures appeared. Ross punched Crocodile in the chest and Crocodile spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the scattered yellow sand.
"This is … …"
Seeing this scene, many people who know Crocodile can't help but be a little stunned.
Compared with Crocodile, Ross's popularity is not much lower. After being recognized by many people watching from afar, it caused a silence.
"Then, I will accept Shichibukai's head."
Ross took a step in the air and instead of falling to the ground with Crocodile, he brewed the power of distortion into his legs and slammed his foot on Crocodile's back.
Kāchā!
The sound of broken bones spread clearly. Crocodile's eyes were still filled with a look of disbelief, but his body completely lost control and fell down, eventually falling into the middle of a yellow sand, splashing a dust.
His eyes fell into darkness and his consciousness gradually broke.
Even at the last moment, he still couldn't accept that as the strongest Logia Devil Fruit user, he would die here and die in the hands of a pirate newcomer like Ross.
"…"
Ross watched Crocodile fall into the yellow sand and there was no more movement. After staying in the air for a few seconds, he also fell to the ground below.
Not far away, the people watching from afar, after a moment of silence, finally burst into an uproar.
It was thought that the Ghost Hand Pirates, who had completely angered Marines and the government, would stop for a while. Unexpectedly, only half a month later, they once again set off a storm in the sea, not only destroying the Iron Wall Pirates but also defeating one of the Shichibukai's Crocodile!
No doubt.
This will become a big news that will shock the world!
No matter who it is, at this moment, there is a feeling that nothing can stop the rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
… …
On the other side.
Ross, who didn't care about the reaction of the Alcaria civilians, fell into the sand below and fell beside Crocodile's body, which was gradually losing its vitality, but his movements suddenly stopped.
Two seconds later, a smile appeared on his face, which had remained calm all this time.
