Kirito said with a mysterious smile, "I am knowledgeable, you are ignorant. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. I will let you die in ignorance!"
This sentence was a perfect counterattack. It slapped Crocodile hard in the face with what he had just said.
If he continues to be devoured like this, I am afraid that Crocodile will fall here without Kirito doing anything.
At his wit's end, he had to transform into his human form from his ability state. He never thought that this would really work.
However, Crocodile, who was out of trouble, was not happy at all. In the face of Kirito's strange attack, the ability to completely transform into a material state could not be maintained for a long time. His combat effectiveness had dropped by more than one level.
Knowing that there would be no result if he continued to ask, Crocodile's face was blue but he did not say a word. As soon as he returned to his normal state, he stretched out his hook to attack Kirito.
Lifting the katana slightly, Kirito gently knocked Crocodile's hook. With a very crisp sound, the hook was broken by Kirito's gentle blow.
Crocodile's face was even more ugly. His hook was not made of ordinary metal, but it was broken so easily.
"What a troublesome brat. Then, have a taste of my next move!"
Crocodile stretched out his other hand and slammed his palm over. All the raindrops that touched his palm seemed to evaporate in an instant and disappeared.
Seeing Crocodile's palm, Kirito's toes tapped lightly. His body seemed to be completely unaffected by gravity, and he moved back more than three feet.
At the same time, his hand was not idle. He waved his katana without a trace of smoke and fire, and a crack in space had been shot out like a cannonball.
Crocodile felt a sense of danger and hurriedly dodged. Although he had foreseen it in advance, a wound was still cut on his arm, and red blood had already flowed down.
"Boy, you are forcing me to use my trump card!
Since you don't want to die, then I will send you to hell with my own hands! "
Crocodile's face was as dark as a cloudy sky. His repeated failures had caused him to lose face.
Kirito didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, he shouted to the people below, "People nearby, listen up. Leave the casino immediately. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences!"
The entire Kingdom of Alabasta was facing drought. Only the Rainy Land could still rain as usual under the control of Crocodile. The people who could stay here were either rich or noble. Why would they listen to the advice of a stranger?
Moreover, it was human nature to enjoy watching a good show. With such a rare battle scene, how could they be willing to leave?
Only Nico Robin was present because she knew that in this situation, Crocodile was most likely going to use that trick.
With a frown, Crocodile looked at Kirito strangely. He really couldn't figure out how this young man knew what he wanted to do.
There was no time to think about it. The flame of anger had made Crocodile lose his mind. He didn't care about the life and death of other people, nor did he care about the image he had established. He didn't care that what was below was his own property.
He only knew that it was the young man in front of him who ruined his plans for many years. The Baroque Studio that he had painstakingly set up only existed in name.
The whole casino trembled violently, and then slowly sank. It was the unique skill of the Fruit of Sand – Quicksand!
Crocodile stared at Kirito coldly. He wanted to keep an eye on the young man so that he wouldn't have a chance to escape. As for the quicksand under his feet, he himself has the Sand Fruit ability. He is the embodiment of sand. How can he be afraid of falling into the sand?
Just like that, the two of them confronted each other. As for those rich people who refused to leave just now, they had already become part of the quicksand.
Although the quicksand sank faster the more it struggled, the building under their feet was too heavy, so the speed of the two men standing quietly was not slow at all.
Soon, the entire casino had disappeared. The two of them seemed to be standing on flat ground. However, the downward trend did not stop there. The quicksand was like a monster with its mouth wide open, greedily devouring everything that could be devoured.
The casino was finally completely gone. The quicksand had submerged the heels of the two men and continued to increase. It didn't look like the two men were sinking, but more like the quicksand was overflowing.
In the end, both of them were buried with only their heads exposed. Crocodile was finally relieved when he saw Kirito's face.
He turned into a sandstorm and left the quicksand, but Kirito's figure had been gradually pulled into the sand.
Robin, who had already left for some distance, didn't know what was going on inside. It wasn't until he saw Crocodile flying out that his face darkened and sighed, "Did he lose in the end?
Is he not an opponent of Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai? "
The sandstorm seemed to have identified its direction. It suddenly paused in the air, and then landed beside Robin like a gust of wind.
Seeing the arrival of the sandstorm, Robin stood calmly in place. As soon as the sandstorm landed, it turned into Crocodile's appearance.
"Why did you run away just now?"
Crocodile asked coldly, with a hint of reproach in his tone, it seemed that he had begun to doubt Nico Robin.
Robin did not show weakness. She said coldly, "If I don't leave, am I waiting to be killed by you?
Just like those idiotic rich people! "
Looking at Robin seriously, Crocodile walked forward and said, "Let's go!"
"Where are we going?"
Robin asked puzzledly. Even the lair was gone. She really didn't know where Crocodile wanted to go.
Crocodile turned his head and looked into Robin's eyes and said word by word, "Go and kill that damn Cobra. If my property is gone, let him compensate me with his palace!"
"What about the kid just now?
Are you sure he's dead? "
Robin still asked with some concern. She didn't know if she was afraid that Kirito was dead or afraid that Kirito was not dead.
"Have you ever seen a person who has been stuck in quicksand for so long and hasn't come out?" Crocodile asked coldly.
After that, he walked slowly in the direction of the palace, not caring whether Robin followed or not.
But Robin still followed after all. The temptation of the Poneglyph was so great for her!
