Barrett grinned. He should have used Armament Haki just now. He was really careless.
It can be seen that he did not take Crocodile seriously at all.
Crocodile's eyes turned cold, and a small rotating sand storm immediately appeared on one hand!
"Shalan!"
The moment he waved his hand, a sandstorm erupted with strong winds, instantly expanding and rolling towards Barrett.
"Humph!"
Barrett's entire body was covered with armament domineering aura, and the terrible sand storm completely surrounded Barrett.
Endless, high-speed flying sand particles hit Barrett's body like sharp knives.
The overlapping layers of sand interfered with the vision, and the terrible killing force made a "shala la" friction sound.
"Little tricks!"
A dull voice was heard, and a pair of scarlet eyes emerged in the sandstorm, like a terrifying beast.
With a fearful momentum rising, Barrett swung his fists repeatedly, and the rumbling sound of violence resounded through the sky.
"Oh!"
A terrible sound was heard, and the sandstorm was shattered and dissipated in an instant as if it had been hit by a flood or a beast.
"Fanatical Tiger Fist!"
The moment Barrett appeared, he pounced on Crocodile like a tiger. The sound of his fist breaking through the air was like a tiger's roar, and he rushed towards Crocodile ferociously.
Crocodile's face changed drastically at the first moment, and his body flew into the air with his arms open.
"Desert Prison!"
Endless sand fell from his arms like flowing water, with a loud splash.
The raging sand surrounded Barrett from all directions, and all the problems it touched lost their moisture and became as dry as dead branches.
Horrible!
However, facing Barrett's violent armament domineering, the effect was greatly reduced, and the terrifying momentum emitted by his fist was unstoppable.
The tiger roared to the sky, instantly pierced through the desert prison and headed towards Crocodile.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Crocodile's body could not turn into sand due to the blessing of Armament Haki, and was directly hammered away.
His eyes were extremely cold, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he paused for just a moment.
"You are the only one who wants to challenge our king! Boy, you are overestimating yourself a little bit!"
Facing Barrett's ridicule, Crocodile's expression remained unchanged. He had only been in the New World for too short a time, and it was normal for him to suffer some losses at the hands of such an influential guy in the New World.
He was not discouraged at all and remained confident from beginning to end.
"Barrett? You're nothing special, that's all!"
Barrett was not angry. If it were him in the past, he would probably have been furious, but now it was different.
Charlotte, who had been watching the battle, looked at Crocodile with admiration in his eyes. The opponent was indeed not simple!
It's just that I came out too early!
Now we can confidently say that Barrett’s current strength definitely exceeds that of Crocodile because he has been fighting constantly.
Barrett's current strength far exceeds that of his original timeline.
Chapter 247 What are you looking forward to?
"Heavy Shalan!"
An enhanced version of the sandstorm suddenly rose from Crocodile's body, and the terrible power of the sandstorm suddenly poured out.
Barrett narrowed his eyes and slapped the ground with his hands. Countless sand and stones rolled up and directly merged into a terrifying giant without his body.
"boom!"
The sandstorm hit his body, and its terrible destructive power even caused cracks to appear on its surface. The terrible strong wind that was dispersed directly destroyed large buildings near the port.
At the same time, Crocodile's body turned into wind and sand, surging on the ground as fast as lightning.
"Pfft!"
With a slight sound, a desert sword, with the help of the wind and sand just now, directly pierced through Barrett's huge body after his fusion.
"Crack!"
Barrett's huge body after the fusion was cut in half, split into two parts.
Barrett then released his fusion, and rocks fell with a loud rumble. Many huge rocks rolled into the water, creating huge waves.
"Nature-type devil fruit abilities are really annoying."
Barrett's voice was very calm.
Crocodile bit the cigar in his mouth and said indifferently, "I am in a very bad mood now."
"Erosion of reincarnation!"
His hands quickly touched the ground, and the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit was activated instantly.
In the blink of an eye, the ground began to crack with a sound.
The nearby plants withered quickly, and the buildings in the distance seemed to have been ravaged by the passage of time and were visibly decaying.
Barrett leaped up and roared.
"Frenzy. Heavy attack!"
A bright light flashed across the dark fist as it came down from the sky, and the electric light spread wildly at an astonishing speed.
Crocodile's pupils shrank, and his body began to flow like sand. A terrifying column of sand spurted out from his palms and turned into a five-clawed sharp blade that shot up into the sky.
"boom!!!"
The terrifying fist wind directly blew through Crocodile's sand blade attack, forming a terrifying hole.
The next second, a blow hit him on the head.
"boom!"
Crocodile's elemental sand body was not immune to the Armament Haki, and his body flew backwards and knocked down a wall.
A few seconds later, the dust cleared and Crocodile's forehead was bleeding. He looked at Barrett with a gloomy expression.
"Rookie, you dare to challenge me with your fighting ability. Not only are you arrogant, but you also overestimate your own abilities!"
Barrett's tone was full of ridicule and sarcasm.
Crocodile, with blood on his forehead, said nothing, instantly turned into sand and rushed towards Barrett.
The two fought fiercely, but were both severely suppressed by Barrett.
Charlotte watched the battle very carefully, and a question kept wandering in his mind for some reason.
That is, what secrets did the "Monster King" Ivankov know about Lao Sha.
Is the rumor that Crocodile is a woman true or not?
In particular, a lot of false information has been mentioned in a half-hearted way.
For example, in the world of One Piece, people who wear earrings on their right ears are usually women, and Crocodile wears them on his right ear.
And in Alabasta there was a lustful camel that never let men sit on it, but Crocodile sat on it.
So Charlotte's eyes were completely on Lao Sha, which looked very strange.
male?
female?
Crocodile was keenly aware of malicious gazes during the battle.
"boom!"
After a fist collision, the moment the two separated, Crocodile looked in the direction of Charlotte.
"Hey! You guy, what does that disgusting look mean?"
Crocodile looked at Charlotte and couldn't help but roar.
"Ah...this!"
Charlotte smacked her lips, but ultimately didn't ask the question.
In fact, he really wanted to know, after all, the face now looked somewhat androgynous.
Especially with that crazy idea, it looked weirder and weirder the more you looked at it.
Crocodile's eyes were extremely ugly, and Charlotte's eyes always gave him an indescribable feeling.
"Hey, watch your tone, you bastard!"
Barrett was quite dissatisfied with Crocodile's tone. Speaking to his boss like that showed that he was completely disrespecting him.
"Asshole! Can't you see the look in your boss's eyes?"
Crocodile fought back angrily.
Barrett doesn't care about that!
"What's wrong with taking a look? You're a woman and you can't let me look at you!"
Charlotte's eyes lit up and he secretly gave Barrett a thumbs up in his heart. Look, what he said makes sense!
"you wanna die!"
Crocodile was angry and launched an active attack directly at Barrett.
Charlotte frowned. It was hard to tell whether this reaction was true or not!
You can say he was furious because his secret was exposed, or you can say he was irritated because he was treated as a woman.
Hard to judge.
