People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 289 A desperate gap

"It's useless, no matter how much you struggle, the gap between you and me has already doomed your end."

Crocodile's tone remained calm amidst the stormy attacks of the three of them.

He laughed at the innocence of the three of them. For a natural devil fruit ability user like him, the attack of the three of them was just a joke.

Perhaps for other pirates, the abilities of these three rookies are really good, so that they can defeat the cadres of the Baroque studio, but they have an essential gap with themselves.

"That's the end of the boring game."

Crocodile was too lazy to waste any more time. The defeat of the cadres had a slight impact on his plan. At the last moment of the usurper plan, he needed to fill those loopholes himself.

He raised his hand.

"Let you see what real power is."

Crocodile is very confident that under his own attack, the three of them cannot survive.

"Desert Treasure—Huh?"

He suddenly felt that his control over the sand was slightly weakened.

"and many more--"

There was a trace of coolness on his face, he raised his head and saw countless raindrops falling from the sky in the twilight of the morning sun.

"It's raining? How is that possible?"

This idea only existed in my heart for a moment, and then it was diverted by the sharp pain on my cheek.

Lu Fei's fist slammed into his face hard, and his body, which was supposed to be elemental, seemed to be a rusty machine at this moment, half a beat slower.

Crocodile flew out directly, and his body was smashed into the sand dunes.

"Hit?" Luffy was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the attack that hadn't worked all of a sudden had an effect.

"Is it because of the rain?" Sauron raised his head.

"Will water restrain his devil fruit ability?" Luffy laughed suddenly: "What luck."

"I'm afraid it's not luck." Sanji's curled eyebrows moved: "In a place like Alabasta, rain is not common, let alone it happens to rain at the place where we are fighting at such a critical time."

"Did that guy make a move?" Sauron grinned: "It seems that the ability to rain is also a means he prepared to deal with Crocodile? No wonder that guy is so confident."

"So that's the case?" Luffy thought for a moment, then gave up thinking: "It doesn't matter! Let's beat Crocodile first!"

"Who do you want to fly!"

An abrupt, dull roar came from the sand dunes, and the nearby desert began to vibrate. The next moment, the boulder under Luffy's and others' feet suddenly began to crack under the action of some force, until it completely turned into yellow sand.

The raindrops from the sky fell on the desert, and disappeared without a trace even before wetting the gravel.

"Desert Sunflower!"

Accompanied by Crocodile's voice, the position where Luffy and the others were standing sank suddenly, turning into a huge circular pit with a radius of [-] meters. The yellow sand in the huge pit continued to flow, like a sucker trying to pull the standing All the people above were swallowed up and buried under the yellow sand.

The rain intensified the suction of the yellow sand, and Luffy and the others suddenly felt bad. As their legs sank, the unstoppable restraint made them unable to move at all.

"So you want to use this method to deal with me?" Crocodile's wet figure appeared on the edge of the huge pit, and he looked down at the three people in the pit, showing disdain: "You guys secretly used dancing powder, so Did it rain in this area?"

"Although I don't know where you got the news that water can restrain me to some extent, but—"

"As I said, the gap between you and me is too great. Even if it cannot be elementalized, an attack as weak as yours will not be able to threaten me at all."

Relying on his rubber-like body, Luffy pulled his feet out of the quicksand in a hurry, grabbed Zoro and Sanji with both hands, and threw them towards the top of the huge pit.

Crocodile sat and watched all this and did not stop him.

"It's useless, just giving up struggling like this may save you a lot of pain."

He raised his hand again and pointed in Luffy's direction.

"Desert Sword!"

With the fall of the palm, the extremely sharp invisible attack separated the ground. Luffy only felt horrified, and stretched his arms dangerously to grab the rubble on the edge of the huge pit, and finally avoided the attack at the last moment.

Only then did he turn his head and saw that the sunflower-like crater was divided into two by a bottomless crack.

"Did you escape?"

Crocodile smiled disdainfully, watching the straw hat kid finally break free from the quicksand, and punched him with his fists.

"It's too slow." As if anticipating Luffy's attack in advance, he turned slightly to avoid the opponent's fist, then raised his hand, just holding his arm.

"The more you struggle, the more desperate you will be."

When his ability was activated, Luffy's arm dried up in an instant, and the moisture in the arm was instantly drained, and this dryness was still moving along Luffy's arm towards Luffy's body.

Luffy was startled, his fighting instinct made him advance instead of retreating, and he rushed towards Crocodile, his right leg smashed towards Crocodile like a battle axe.

Crocodile had to let go of Luffy's arm, sideways to avoid the blow.

Although it is enough for him to resist the opponent's blow to completely suck the opponent into a mummy, but for Crocodile, this is almost a multiple-choice question that does not need to be considered. He has countless ways to defeat the newcomer in front of him, and there is no need to fight again. one time.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, because he pays too much attention to the development of fruit abilities, his physical fitness is far inferior to this rookie, and it is easy to suffer in pure hand-to-hand combat.

Luffy got out of control, looked at his right hand, which was already like dry wood, completely without any feeling, he had an idea in his heart, he opened his mouth suddenly, under the power of the rubber fruit, his mouth opened to an exaggerated degree, A lot of rain was swallowed by him, and with the injection of water, his arm finally returned to normal.

"It's dangerous!" He moved his five fingers to make sure that he regained control of his arm. "Fortunately, it's raining, otherwise it will be troublesome."

"Sand crocodile, let's do it again!"

Crocodile's face darkened.

Although he didn't care about it, the rain did cause him some trouble, but it was just a small trouble.

After obtaining Devil Fruit for so long, he naturally has a way to target his own weaknesses.

He easily avoided Luffy's attack again, kicked Zoro and Sanji who were rushing forward, and then spread his five fingers, and a small tornado sandstorm formed in the palm of his hand.

"Rain clouds and the like are as fragile as you, they just need to be blown away."

"Salan!"

With a flick of his hand, the sandstorm grew wildly on the ground, and soon turned into a giant storm connecting the sky and the earth. The rainwater in the space was immediately swept up by the storm, and even the thin rain clouds in the sky were quickly swept away by the storm.

This force, like a natural disaster, made the movements of the three of them come to a standstill.

And Usopp and others who were hiding farther away were even colder.

Is this the power of Qiwuhai?

They realized that they were too optimistic and had far underestimated Crocodile's power. Even with the help of rain, the three major powers of the Straw Hats had been retreating steadily, but now Crocodile is clearly on the move.

Who can defeat such an enemy?
