So after a few trials, Crocodile could only choose Sables (Sandstrom) with the widest cover area, making it unavoidable for Rowen.
But even so, as long as Rowen has one breath left in his body, that terrible resilience of his can make the wound he has worked so hard to make will disappear without a trace.
The situation suddenly stood in a stalemate… Crocodile knew that if he kept dragging on, he would undoubtedly lose!
Suddenly, Rowen broke through the yellow sand and flew straight towards him. Crocodile was taken aback by Rowen’s actions and he threw his right hand out, which turned into a blade of sand to stop Rowen.
But at this time, Rowen sneered as his figure abruptly disappeared into the air.
‘Blink’!
‘Overload·Thunderlight Punch!’
Bang!!
A fist wrapped in a terrifying high-voltage current hit Crocodile’s back heavily without penetrating the wound. Under the eruption of the Thunderlight fist, Crocodile’s entire body was blown up and divided into yellow sand in the sky!
However, this also means that Rowen’s attack is not working, and that theory is proved when Crocodile’s body is condensed from a distance with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.
Crocodile did not underestimate the enemy, but he still underestimated Rowen’s combat effectiveness.
The current situation is similar to…
Hitting an Undying!
He had no chance to cause a fatal injury to Rowen.
Run, he can’t even run away!
Lightning triumph the Sand in terms of speed.
At the same time, his Desertification ability is different from simply mobilizing yellow sand as it also requires a lot of physical energy. In terms of stamina, he is not even close to being Rowen’s opponent!
Right now Crocodile is panting a little bit from the fight and Rowen on the opposite side was gaining momentum and Crocodile could see that Rowen had not consumed much of his stamina and he could still go on.
Crocodile wanted to drag the fight until Rowen became exhausted but now that strategy had come back to bite him in the ass and he knows that if he keeps fighting like this then he will die!
“What kind of Monster are you!”
Crocodile gritted his teeth and began to regret his decision in his heart. If it wasn’t for the unique situation, he really didn’t want to mess with this Undying Monster!
“Flattery will not get you anywhere!”
Rowen spoke back while his figure disappeared again as he used ‘Blink’, Crocodile, who had not mastered Observation Haki, had no idea where Rowen had gone, but based on his previous experience, he knew that the attack was most likely to come from the back.
An Arc-Shaped Sand Dune appeared behind him!
Without thinking, Crocodile’s arm turned into a huge crescent-shaped Sand Blade and he swung it behind him. A dry stone was slashed by the Sand Blade, and it suddenly weathered into a handful of yellow sand. But Crocodile didn’t hit any human figure and only the air was torn apart.
“Not good!”
At this moment, Rowen suddenly appeared on top of his head and kicked it.
Overload· Lightning Kick!
Bang!
Crocodile was stomped into the ground, leaving a large spider-like crater in the ground.
Rowen imprinted the leather shoes on Crocodile’s face and spoke with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: “Did you see now? This is a Monster hitting a useless person! I didn’t beat you to death because you are a useless person!!”
After that, Rowen rubbed his leather shoes back and forth on his face.
Crocodile’s face flushed rapidly at the speed visible to the naked eye. He gritted his teeth and suddenly moved his hand.
The boundless desert which was hundreds of meters high rose from a distance, and it looked as if it was trying to drown Rowen completely in the desert.
But Rowen had now somewhat mastered Observation Haki, and at the same time, his speed is particularly amazing.
One second before Crocodile’s hands moved, Rowen’s Observation Haki noticed his movements and he instantly used ‘Blink’ to leave this place where the sand will hit.
With the enhancement of Observation Haki, Rowen’s current ‘Blink’ distance is no longer tens of meters, but in kilometers! The Sand Screen with a height of hundreds of meters looked like a step in his eyes.
Looking at Rowen in the sky, Crocodile climbed up with red eyes and madly roared.
“I will kill you!!!”
“Sorry, you can’t do it!”
Hearing Crocodile’s words, Rowen flew towards him and replied with a sneer on his face. He might be feeling a little helpless in front of Sand Crocodile, but it is also tantamount to an idiotic dream for Sand Crocodile to kill him!
The Destructive Power and Speed of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit have earned it the reputation of being the “Strongest Logia Devil Fruit”. The difference between their power cannot be solved by anger.
And it’s not that Rowen didn’t have the means to kill Crocodile, it’s just that the surrounding environment didn’t allow it.
After being bombed by his Qilin, and with the constant mobilization of sand by Crocodile that eroded the land, there is no longer any surface water source here.
However, at this time, the expression on Crocodile’s face suddenly calmed down and he coldly spoke with a breathtaking Killing Intent hanging on the corner of his mouth: “No, you will die!”
Rowen’s heart suddenly had an ominous premonition. After he realized it, the blood flow in his body accelerated, and his muscles kept contracting and compacting, making his body hard as steel!!
Rokushiki, Tekkai (Iron Body)!
Sure enough, before the words fell, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the sand curtain.
The person who appeared at this time is Jino!
He hid in the sand screen made by Crocodile, and as the sand screen pushed to reach the high altitude near Rowen, he jumped out of it.
Previously, even if Crocodile was chased around away like a dog, he did not strike, and once he did, it was a sure kill strike!
This is the fighting method of the “Assassination King” Jino!
“Life… Seal!!”
Jino’s height soared to nearly three meters at this time, his muscles were knotted and he was naked, with only a pair of shorts worn on the lower body for some decency.
His speed was extremely fast, so fast that Rowen had a kind of misconception that he was using his own skill ‘Blink’, and he arrived in front of him almost instantly.
At the same time, the black-purple fist raised by Jino gave out a blood-red mist. The mist was like a rope and it quickly entwines with another mist. As for another mist, Rowen found that it was emerging from his own body!!
“Nani?!”
At this moment, Rowen suddenly had another misconception that his body was soaking in the sea, and his power instantly disappeared as the mist entangled.
Although this sense of powerlessness passed by in a moment but that single moment was enough to cause some weakness in Tekkai (Iron Body) as it almost disappeared from Rowen’s body.
In the next second, Jino fist wrapped with Armament Haki smashed against Rowen’s stomach. Because of his lack of height, he could not attack Rowen’s heart.
Puff!!
Rowen suddenly spits out a large pool of blood mixed with visceral pieces, and his whole body flew back like a bullet.
