Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ross was wrapped in a large sand storm released by Crocodile, but he was not swept away by dust and sand. Instead, he used Geppō (Moonwalk) and forced himself out of it and punched Crocodile.
Crocodile sank his face slightly, this brief confrontation gave him a clear idea of Ross's abilities. His physical strength was extraordinary and his fruit development was extraordinarily powerful. Almost no trick could stop Ross's steps.
Even though he is a Logia user, it is not easy to fight Ross.
But……
As an elemental ability, it will always be invincible. Crocodile did not think that his Logia would lose to Paramecia. After all, the consumption of stamina by Logia was lower than that by Paramecia.
Faced with Ross's punch, Crocodile's right arm folded into a knife made from sand and slammed it towards Ross.
However.
Just as Ross's fist was about to collide with Crocodile's sand knife, a strange force suddenly gushed out of his fist and instantly covered it.
"Armed!"
Crash!
Although this punch does not release the power of distortion, it still breaks Crocodile's sandknife with Armament Haki's hardening strength and his physical ability which he never neglects to exercise.
Crocodile went to New World and even challenged Whitebeard. It was impossible for him to not recognize Armament Haki. He was so shocked that he could hardly escape. He could only clench his fist and wrap himself in the sand.
Bang!
Ross's punch shattered Crocodile's rushed sandbox shell and collided directly with Crocodile's fist.
Even though Armament Haki's attack was far less powerful than his full-blown power of distortion, the punch still caused severe pain in the phalanges and numbness in Crocodile's fingers.
"Damn… Haki?"
Ross used Armament Haki, which was obviously beyond Crocodile's expectation. He was shocked. All the contempt against Ross had disappeared, replaced by a very dignified expression.
To be able to use Haki and or not are two completely different concepts against a Logia User.
Without Armament Haki, A Logia User will not have any obvious weakness and they will be able to defeat their opponent. But once someone is able to use Haki, he will have a basic strength against any Logia User!
Even the weaker Armament Haki still has the effect of capturing the Logia competent entity!
"The thing about Logia user is that they always think that they know everything and will always remain superior to others. Unfortunately… you know nothing about my strength."
Armament Haki attached to Ross's fist disappeared, avoiding a sandknife that Crocodile counterattacked with. At the same time, the power of distortion suddenly rushed out and he punched the coming sandknife, scattered it.
If Ross's Haki had been able to attach to the power of distortions then this blow would have been enough to hit Crocodile hard.
Crash!
Crocodile turned into the yellow sand and re-coagulated dozens of meters away, his face gradually restored calm and the surprise just disappeared.
"It seems that you still can't use Haki very well."
He once challenged Whitebeard and was seriously injured by Whitebeard's punch. The power of the shock is somewhat similar to the power exerted by Ross's fist, but it is clear that Ross cannot attach Haki to his fruit ability.
After all, it was Crocodile and he judged Ross's weakness by his attacks.
"It is enough to deal with you."
Ross did not deny Crocodile's claim that he did not use Haki well enough, but Crocodile did not develop his fruit ability to the level of a Marine Admiral who could easily destroy an island.
Whiz!
Ross's figure flickered and in the next moment, he appeared beside Crocodile, his right hand clenched into a fist and he violently punched. The Power of distortion erupted, which turned Crocodile's body into a beach of scattered yellow sand again.
Then Ross attached his left hand to the black Armament Haki Haki, exhibited the hardening of Armament Haki, grabbed the scattered yellow sand and pulled Crocodile.
"Desert Spada(Treasured Sword of the Desert)!"
Crocodile shouted angrily, raised his hand and split violently towards the ground, the whole ground split instantly from the middle, as if cut by something sharp, there appeared a ditch tens of meters in length and breadth.
Ross avoided the attack and punched Crocodile with his backhand, he used Armament Haki in this punch, causing Crocodile to fly out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crocodile continually attacked with Desert Spada that created various cracks in the deserted street, while Ross confronted him positively, He used Distortion Fist to smash his Desert Spada and Armament Haki armed punch to hit him.
"These trick won't work on me."
Crocodile snorted, raised his hand and pressed it. The dust gathered and turned into a shield of sand, blocking Ross Armament Haki's punch.
Ross didn't respond and he attacked Crocodile's sand shield with his other hand using the power of distortion and continued his attacks on the sand shield.
The battle originally covered an area of about a hundred meters that had been turned to sand but under the Battle of these two, it gradually expanded to two hundred meters and three hundred meters.
"There… what happened?"
"The street disappeared and became a desert…"
Countless people who were covered with dust and sand turned their heads to look at the direction of the sand and they were stunned and many of them couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Bang!
A sound echoed and the sand waves splashed in the area, they were tens of meters high could be seen clearly from hundreds of meters away.
Bang!
Another sound echoed. In the tremor, the wind was sweeping in all directions with dust and sand, which made it difficult for many people to keep in their original position. They had to hold onto the buildings next to them.
The guards of the Alcaria kingdom have already arrived, but looking at the sand sea, they can only look at each other and no one dared to rush in.
As for the general Captain of the Guard, although he has some strength, the source of this sand is undoubtedly Crocodile who is one of the Seven Warlords of the Seas, rushing in to stop him is obviously a joke.
"Who is fighting Crocodile?"
"This is the strength of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea…"
Many people look at the area which spreads hundreds of meters and was filled with sand. They can not help but feel their heart palpitate and they showed some awe and shock in their eyes.
Bang!
Another Bang sounded and a sand wave of about dozens of meters high was splashed in the center.
Ross punched Crocodile's Desert Spada which caused the yellow sand to scattered. Then he punched Crocodile's chest.
Bang!
Crocodile's body collapsed again into a pool of yellow sand, but when he reformed again into a human figure, the expressions on his face were no longer as calm as before.
The punch just now gave him a different feeling. Ross's strength was very different. Haki's fist could hurt him, but pure ability's fist had no effect on him. But now, that pure ability's fist has made his chest a little uncomfortable.
Misconception?!
Crocodile's face was somewhat depressed but Ross had already rushed over again and punched him again with his fist wrapped in the power of distortion.
Crocodile didn't evade. He had tried to evade Ross several times before, but Ross has caught him. There is no doubt that Ross also has Observation Haki.
With a shout of anger, he turned his arms into two huge blades of sand and swept towards Ross.
Bang!
Crocodile's blade of sand failed to hold for a second and it broke apart under the bang of the power of distortion, while Ross's fist was once again on Crocodile.
The punch fell and Crocodile's face finally changed. If it was a Misconception before then this time, the pain in his chest cleared that Misconception.
"What's wrong? You seem surprised?"
Ross calmly looked at Crocodile. "It's a common phenomenon to make progress in Battle. You don't think I'm spending stamina meaninglessly."
In this world, Fights are always the best catalyst for improving strength. Before Ross could not combine Armament Haki with the power of distortion perfectly, but in his confrontation with Crocodile, he gradually touched the key point of coexistence between the two, Haki with one hand, Distortion with another.
Ross was going to look for opportunities to activate Gravity Distortion and use his new abilities to crush Crocodile, but it's not fair for him to use it in this fight and it's not in line with his direct and straight forward style of doing things and his principle of working hard on his own.
So he only made preparations for the temporary addition method but did not implement it.
Crocodile's face became ugly.
Ross's Haki and fruit ability can't be perfectly combined. This is a big flaw and weakness. It is also because of this that he was able to stand against Ross until now.
But now Ross is gradually overcoming this defect, and the final result of this Battle is clearly flying in a direction beyond his control.
"Desert la Spada(Adamant Treasured Sword of the Desert)"
Crocodile's face was twisted in anger and he used his Sand Sand Fruit to its limit, countless dust and sand rolled up, gathered in the air into various huge blades which surrounded Ross in the center.
Under his control, these huge sand blades suddenly attacked Ross from all sides. Crocodile planned to make a quick and large move to finish this fight as soon as possible.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ross did not have any fear and he did not avoid any coming blade. He just waved his fist in front of him and punched them one after another and with every punch a sand sword fell and this attack did not affect him.
Crocodile guides the sand in Underground with both hands and tries to form a spear to penetrate Ross but before the spear could come out of the sand, Ross raises his foot and the power of distortion pours into the sand, instantly destroying the unshaped spears.
In front of Sand Fruit, Ross can hardly compete for control of sand, but in the same way, Crocodile can hardly manipulate sand on the ground at will.
"Don't you understand yet?"
Crocodile's offensive was disrupted and Ross stepped out of the sand and rushed towards Crocodile.
"From the beginning, I was fighting against you to exercise my abilities."
Bang!
As his voice fell, Ross's fist suddenly punched Crocodile's sand shield and broke his arms and shattered his head.
Crocodile, who was shattered into yellow sand by Ross's punch escaped from the Underground and reformed his body dozens of meters away. This time, when he recovered, there was a blood spilling from his mouth and nose. Obviously, Ross's Last fist had done caused some considerable damage.
"… This arrogant guy."
Crocodile gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with killing intent but by this time, he knew that the Battle's balance of victory and defeat had begun to tilt.
If he continues his fight against Ross then the chances of winning are very low. Crocodile's mind flickered and eventually, he chose to withdraw.
But.
By this time, he can't walk if he wants to.
"I seem to have said from the very beginning that since you have started, you have to gamble your life as I do with mine." Ross looked at Crocodile indifferently and he ran after him.
"Sables(Sandstrom)!"
Crocodile whispered and a dust storm appeared in his palm and he threw it at Ross. At the same time, he turned into yellow sand and flew away with the wind.
Ross stepped on the foot and shot out like an arrow. His right hand was instantly covered with Armament Haki hardening and it was inserted into the yellow sand.
Crash!
Logia's elementalization was directly captured and held in front of Ross's Haki. As Ross pulled, the yellow sand was partially pulled back revealing Crocodile's figure.
Ross ignored Crocodile's dramatic expression and punched him.
Bang!
This time, Crocodile's body didn't even break up into yellow sand. Instead, it broke up a small part of his body. Crocodile flew backward and bled out of his mouth.
"Violent…Sables (Sandstrom)!"
Crocodile felt the pain in his chest and gritted his teeth. He had been to New World, experienced numerous dangerous situations and even challenged Whitebeard, but he survived. It was impossible for a pirate newcomer to want his life!
With a roar and a violent wave of his hands, the 100-meter-square yellow sand flew into the sky in an instant, bursting into an earth-shaking power and attacking Ross in a mad way.
Far away.
Many Alcaria civilians and guards saw this scene and were shocked, In the desert, such a scene is nothing, but here is the Kingdom of Alcaria, this scene was something out of a fantasy!
In this place, such terrifying sandstorms erupted, so even for them who had lived on the Grand Line their entire life, they were shocked.
But.
Before they could recover from their shock, A loud sound erupted from the sandstorm. The raging sandstorm seemed to become static, it was instantly fixed on the spot and scattered downward.
In the middle of the sky about tens of meters away, two figures appeared and Ross indifferent punched Crocodile's chest and Crocodile's blood dyed the scattered yellow sand.
"This is…"
Seeing this scene, many people who know Crocodile are surprised.
Compared with Crocodile, Ross's popularity is not very low and he is recognized by many people who are watching from afar in silence.
"So, A Shichibukai's head, I will accept it."
Ross took a false step in the air and instead of falling to the ground with Crocodile, he brewed all the power of distortions into his legs and slammed a back kick that hit Crocodile in the back.
Kāchā!
The sound of broken bones spread clearly and shock filled Crocodile's eyes, but his body completely lost control and he fell downward, eventually falling in the middle of a piece of yellow sand, splashing dust and sand.
His eyes fell into darkness and his consciousness gradually shattered.
Even at the last moment, he was not accepting this situation. As the most powerful Logia Devil Fruit user, he should not die here in the hands of a pirate newcomer like Ross.
"…"
Ross watched Crocodile fall into the sand. There was no movement. After several seconds in the air, Ross also fell to the ground below.
After a moment of silence, the people who were watching from afar were finally in an uproar.
Everyone in the world had thought that The Ghost Hand Pirates who had provoked Marine and the government completely, would stop for a while, but they didn't even stop for half a month, killing not only Iron Wall Pirates, but also Crocodile, one of Shichibukai's.
Without a doubt.
This will be big news that will shock the world again!
Everyone present thought that no one could stop the rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
On the other side.
Ross didn't care about the reaction of Alcaria's civilians, he landed in the sand below, next to Crocodile's body, which had gradually lost its vitality and it suddenly disappeared.
After two seconds, Ross's face, which had remained calm, showed a smile.
"Seven Warlords of the Sea, 'Sand Crocodile', has been killed, earning a reward of 100 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point."
