rustle…
Sand continued to spread under Crocodile's feet, and the broken earth gradually turned into fine grains of sand under the influence of his ability.
Looking at Crocodile, who was full of hostility and murderous intent, Rhodes' eyes were calm. He could completely guess Crocodile's inner thoughts, but he would not explain it. He had already said the answer. Whether he believed it or not was up to him. A mere Crocodile is not qualified to bother explaining ancient weapons to the other party.
"You can make the navy suffer losses again and again, and you can also destroy the Iron Wall Pirates. You are very powerful, but... I am not the fools of the government and the navy!"
Crocodile walked slowly towards Ross. The place he passed was covered with a layer of dust. The moment he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly moved forward, right His arm turned into sand and he waved fiercely at Ross.
Arc-moon shaped sand dunes!
A crescent-shaped sand blade suddenly transformed with a wave of his arm and swept towards Ross. This sand blade contained a dangerous aura. It would not cut apart a person's body, but it would All living things it touches will be drained of moisture!
Faced with this move, Rhodes' response was very simple. He just clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched the incoming arc-shaped sand dune.
Twisted Fist!
boom!
Ross's punch struck the crescent-shaped sand blade, and the group of sand blades exploded in an instant. The dry power of absorbing water from the sand blade had not yet penetrated into Ross's body. The power of distortion blocked the outside.
He sighed.
Why, if you tell the truth, no one will believe it.
After smashing Crocodile's sand blade with one punch, Ross's eyes gradually calmed down and said: "Now that I have taken action, let's risk my life."
Since you don’t believe the truth, then whose fist is bigger and whose will is the truth, muscles are the only criterion for testing truth.
"For that kind of thing, life is indeed a good bet. It seems that you are ready."
Crocodile was not surprised that Ross blocked his move. The strength of a person who can cause the navy to suffer successive losses and completely destroy the Iron Wall Pirates is certainly not that simple.
He stretched out his right hand and pressed it hard on the ground.
boom!
The ability of the natural rustling fruit was activated by him with all his strength. Countless cracks appeared in the originally fragmented ground in an instant, centering on the place where he pressed, spreading in all directions.
The black soil with moisture turned from black to brown at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into yellow, turning into dry dust.
Almost in an instant, the ground within a radius of tens of meters turned into dust and sand. This dust and sand trapped Ross in it and strangled him violently.
"The terrain has been changed... Do you want to create a more favorable combat environment?"
Ross looked calmly at the street that turned into a sandy field in an instant, without any fluctuation in his eyes, and said: "However, you are not the only one who can use the ability to control sand."
boom!
The next moment, Ross raised his foot and stepped on it, and the sand that swept towards him instantly disintegrated under the action of the twisting force.
Immediately afterwards, Ross raised his hand towards Crocodile and shook it from a distance. The sand at Crocodile's feet suddenly surged up out of his control, wrapped around his body, and then squeezed violently.
boom!
Crocodile's body turned into yellow sand and scattered under the squeeze, and soon regrouped not far away, regaining his human form again.
"Use your ability to control sand?"
He stared at Ross, with no surprise in his eyes, but with a slight sneer, and said: "Are you competing for the control of elements in front of natural ability users?!"
The moment he finished speaking, Crocodile raised his arm and waved at Ross.
In an instant.
The sand under Ross's feet suddenly surged towards Ross with lightning speed, turning into a sharp sand blade, trying to cut Ross in half.
Facing this blow, Ross's domineering energy was clearly captured. He raised his hand and pressed it directly on the sand blade as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
boom!
Ross's twisted power could no longer control the sand, but when the twisted power exploded, Crocodile could no longer maintain the shape of the sand. The entire sand blade exploded with a bang, turning into countless dust and sand, flying in all directions.
As the dust and sand dispersed, Ross stepped on his feet and turned into an afterimage. He rushed towards Crocodile, clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched out.
"snort!"
Crocodile snorted coldly, and punched him without any fear. His fist instantly turned into sand, turning into a huge sand fist that was almost twice the size of Ross, with terrifying power.
boom!
The two fists collided suddenly, and the giant sand fist made of dust and sand suddenly exploded under the twisting power of Ross, revealing Crocodile's arms and fists.
Rhodes did not stop punching and continued to collide with Crocodile's fist.
A cold light flashed in Crocodile's eyes, and he was about to activate his ability to drain the water from Ross's body and turn Ross into a mummy, but before his power could invade him, a violent twisting force It was already pouring down his arms.
boom!
One of Crocodile's arms was instantly blasted into a piece of yellow sand by the explosion of twisted power, splashing in all directions, and his whole body also flew backwards.
"Quite capable, but I'm a natural type user, so this kind of trick won't work."
Crocodile turned into sand in mid-air and reassembled in another place. His arm that was blasted also returned to its original shape in an instant.
Lafitte, who was watching this scene not far away, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's... the elemental transformation of users with natural devil fruit abilities. It is said to be the strongest natural type among all devil fruits. It really has an extraordinary reaction."
Crash.
After the yellow sand re-condensed into Crocodile's figure, he shouted low, raised his hand and pressed it on the ground, and the power of the Shasha fruit exploded wantonly.
"Erosion... reincarnation!"
With him as the center, the earth was once again deserted in all directions. Whether it was soil, stones or buildings, everything collapsed and pulverized under the erosion of the sand fruit, turning into yellow sand all over the ground.
Lafitte looked at this scene, his face changed slightly, he climbed over a few times to the back, jumped to the top of a building further away, and watched from a distance.
Whoosh!
Rhodes did not give Crocodile a chance to unleash his abilities wantonly. Instead, the moment he released the corrosive reincarnation, he took a step forward, climbed into the air on moon steps, and rushed over.
Facing Ross, who was rushing towards him, Crocodile snorted coldly, raised his hands, and the dust instantly spun around him, turning into a terrifying dust hurricane.
"Shalan!"
