Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

A burst of white light swept across the world, and Ace and Smoker couldn't help but put their hands in front of their eyes.

They wanted to see what was going on, but the intense glow made it difficult for them to even open their eyes.

"Mary Vinicius..."

Crocodile murmured to himself. In the huge glow, he felt an unparalleled huge pulling force, and he also felt the feeling of something moving away from him.

Tina, who was preventing evacuation, suddenly shook her body and turned to look at the glow radiating from all directions in the city center.

"what is that?"

After the Straw Hats dealt with Miss's two fingers, they took a short rest. That ray of light also shone on everyone.

Among the three giants of the Straw Hats, only Zoro, who was extremely sensitive to crises and was like a beast, had goosebumps all over his body and looked at the light source with a serious look.

Nicole Robin, who was trying to leave secretly, was illuminated by this light, and her departure suddenly stopped.

She slowly looked back, reaching out her hands to try to catch the light.

"This feeling……"

Robin muttered to himself in ecstasy.

After a few seconds, the white light disappeared.

Ace and Smoker, whose eyes were reddened by the intense light and streaming with tears, finally reluctantly opened their eyes and kept rubbing their eyes.

"Wow..."

The sand collapsed and the rain poured down.

The dry light that had been blocking the falling rain—gone.

Ace and Smoker stood here looking around blankly.

There are dilapidated ruins all around, with pieces of broken walls falling from time to time.

Under the gloomy sky, heavy rain soaked the endless stretch of sand, and there was no other sound except the sound of rain.

However--

"Where's Crocodile? Where's Mary?"

Smoker looked around in the heavy rain, while Ace pressed his cowboy hat without saying a word.

Everything that happened before them was unheard of for them.

This actually made Ace, who came to help, feel a sense of inexplicable fear.

…

Crocodile slowly opened his eyes.

There was an empty feeling on his shoulders. Crocodile looked down and saw that his arms made of sand had disappeared.

At the same time, the severe pain from a broken leg made him a little unsteady, but he staggered and never fell down.

"Welcome to this world, my mental world."

Mary's calm voice came from in front of Crocodile. He looked up and saw Mary standing not far in front of him with an expressionless face, looking at him motionless.

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding between the two, Crocodile raised his head and looked around, taking in everything around him.

Beneath your feet is endless pitch-black water, just below your ankles. The cold air coming from the water gave Crocodile the illusion of stepping on the ice of the snow country.

This water area has no limit to the horizon, and is as clean as a mirror. The color of the sky is divided into yin and yang. On one side is the blue sky and white clouds, as clear as jade; on the other side is the purple moon at night, as deep as ink.

There was no sound of wind or any other living things in the space. It was so peaceful that people couldn't bear to break it.

But after a long silence, Crocodile finally broke the silence.

"What a dreamy world..."

Crocodile murmured in ecstasy: "Is this your trump card?"

"You can actually pull me into another world...is this an illusion?"

Mary didn't answer him, just looked at Crocodile quietly and talked to himself. And Crocodile also understood that everything in front of him was not an illusion at all, but it was just too fantastic for him to believe.

But this fact was right in front of him, and he had to accept it eventually.

"...Ah, it's incredible. Mary, what exactly is your ability?"

"Forget it, there is no point in asking this now."

"I probably know why you have the confidence to defeat me."

Crocodile was like an actor performing a one-man show, paying no attention to Mary's silence and just narrating on his own.

"After I came to this world, I can no longer feel the power of dryness. I can't suck up the water under my feet, nor can I turn the earth under my feet into yellow sand."

"It's like...my powers are gone."

"But that's not the case, my body can still be elementalized."

As he spoke, Crocodile's severed arm escaped from the sand and turned into a pair of empty arms.

"In this case, it should be said that my fruit power cannot affect the outside world."

"Have you figured out the nature of the Devil Fruit?"

Having said this, Crocodile closed his mouth and looked deeply at Mary, trying to get an answer from her mouth.

And Mary was no longer silent and nodded generously.

"Not bad. It seems that my guess is right."

"The power of Devil Fruit itself comes from the world, and the natural system resonates with the world."

"So, when you come to this [different world], your Devil Fruit ability cannot resonate with the world."

"You have no way to control the outside world, Crocodile."

"You can only control yourself."

Smoker reminded Mary of his feelings about the natural fruit ability users he explained before, and Mary had speculated before that when the natural fruit ability users were pulled to other worlds, their ability to influence the outside world would be ineffective.

Of course, it can still have an impact on oneself - it can even still have an impact on Mary. Because Mary and Crocodile are creations belonging to the main world after all.

Now it seems that the guess is correct.

Crocodile was silent. After a long time, he burst into laughter.

"I never imagined that something like this would happen..."

"Boy, what is this world called?"

"[Where justice lies]."

"What a strange name."

Crocodile closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Mary.

"I lost."

With his simple language and calm tone, Crocodile seemed to be talking about something that didn't concern him.

Mary was slightly moved by this indifference.

When Crocodile realized that he had lost his ability to influence the outside world, he knew that he had no chance of winning. The battle situation reversed in just a moment, and Mary's endless trump cards finally overturned the fate of this dominating hero.

More than 90% of his strength comes from the external influence of the fruit's ability. When this item was eliminated, he knew that he could no longer win when facing Mary, who had almost no ability to be banned.

"Can you tell me the name of this ability?" Crocodile asked calmly, "This is definitely not a fruit ability. Speaking of which, you have shown too many weird abilities. I think you have some secrets. Bar?"

"Don't worry. I don't dwell on these things, and I can't get into them. But if you don't even know the name of the ability to put me in desperate situations, I won't be willing to do it."

"Inherent enchantment."

Mary did not hide it from Crocodile and explained to him straightforwardly: "The great magic of manifesting one's own mental landscape is equivalent to replacing the original world with a new one and creating a small world bubble."

When Crocodile heard this, doubts flashed in his eyes. But just a few seconds later, he shook his head and his expression returned to indifference.

"Although I have never heard of anything like it, the creation of the world - being defeated by the power of this god gives me a little comfort."

"Take action."

Crocodile turned his broken legs into sand, supported his body, and faced Mary straight.

"Although I admit my failure, my biggest mistake was to underestimate you. I admit it."

"But if you want to take my head, you have to do it yourself."

Crocodile said coldly.

Although the outcome is doomed, Crocodile still will not surrender, let alone beg for mercy. From the moment his fruit power awakened, Crocodile's failure had only one outcome - death.

This is the dignity of a strong man that he has regained, and it is also the end that he has been prepared for.

Mary closed her eyes slightly and pulled out the saber from her waist.

For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant.

Mary slowly raised the knife, and blood crawled onto the blade.

"Yes, that's it..."

Crocodile whispered, half of his body turned into flying sand and rocks, and rushed towards Mary as fast as fire.

His slicked back hair was spread out at this moment, his hair was flying, and his expression was cold and decisive with a hint of domineering.

"Come on, this is the kind of opponent I want!"

Along with his low roar, his domineering attitude in challenging Whitebeard was once again displayed.

Mary approached Crocodile quickly, without any unnecessary movements, and she approached cleanly with every step.

Focus and focus, eyes unwavering. Along the way, Mary kept blocking Crocodile's sand attacks with her knife, and got close to Crocodile.

As a flash of sword light flashed, the saber in Mary's hand stabbed out quickly.

Then, suddenly stopped,

There was a look of surprise in Mary's eyes.

Crocodile's hand of sand was seen firmly grasping the blade. Veins popped up on his forehead, but he still looked at Mary calmly, without any emotion on his face.

"..."

Mary looked at Crocodile as if she really knew him at this moment.

Immediately, Crocodile looked stern, grabbed the blade and raised it high, turned his other hand, and struck Mary's head like a lightning bolt.

Mary immediately withdrew and retreated violently, but Crocodile was shocked when he saw this. Countless sand turned into spikes and appeared from behind him, shooting overwhelmingly at Mary.

Each grain of these sands is made of Crocodile's body.

However, the black flames on Mary's body exploded, and blood shot out, mixed with the flames of the devil, blocking Crocodile in mid-air. While burning away Crocodile's sand, it also caused him great trauma.

After all, not everyone has Mary's powerful self-healing ability.

"Well……"

A trace of blood overflowed from Crocodile's mouth. He groaned and swallowed the blood in one gulp. Not only did the yellow sand erupting on his body not stop, but it became more spectacular.

"Huh-huh!"

The yellow sand around Crocodile no longer scattered, but turned into a sand tornado, setting off a huge wave, overwhelming Mary.

At the same time, his body rushed forward, turning his fists into claws and grabbing Mary's head.

Mary looked at Crocodile, who was extremely domineering and full of oppression. She took a deep breath, slowly lowered her body, and slowly put the knife into her waist. Blood slowly climbed onto the blade.

Then, the moment Crocodile approached, the flashing sword light slashed out!

All the yellow sand and blood stopped, and the ripples on the water gradually subsided.

"Ten Thousand Leaves Breath..."

Mary still maintained her original standing position, and the knife in her hand was slowly sheathed.

After Crocodile's body froze for a moment, he slowly stopped and stood upright in front of Mary.

On his waist and abdomen, a small wound slowly spread out the poison.

A complicated smile appeared on his face.

"...I really miss it, this...frustration."

"This is just like back then, close before our eyes but out of reach."

"Is this my destiny..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

…

[After the host obtains the special character Xi, Xi will enter the host's mental world, gradually improve the host's mental world, and become the agent of the host's mental world. 】

[When Xi becomes the manager of the host's mental world, the host automatically learns large-scale magic and inherent enchantments. 】

[Furthermore, the host will be immune to all mental influences, and at the same time, the mental influence caused by the host to others will increase dramatically. 】

[In his spare time, the host can also take the initiative to sneak his subconscious into the world of mental images, communicate with Xi, and build his own mental world. This will speed up Xi's ability to become the agent. 】

Before, Xi had actually integrated with the mental image world, but she was unable to become the world will of the mental image world or the manager of the mental image world.

The reason is that Mary's inner will split, causing the mental world to shatter, making Xi unable to operate.

However, when Mary's will finally merged and the Trinity became one, Mary's mental world underwent some different changes.

But the most important thing is that Mary's mental world finally became a whole, and therefore, Xi also successfully became the controller of the mental world.

At the same time, Mary learned the inherent barrier, which is the strongest magic among the five magics in Xingyue's world view.

"I have to thank you for this trump card, Weiwei."

"Maybe you can also say, congratulations, Weiwei, Shichibukai Crocodile, was defeated by your kindness."

…

I don't know how long it took, but on the deserted street, the air suddenly fluctuated.

With a burst of light distortion, Mary reappeared in the main world. And what appeared with her was Crocodile's body covered with poison.

...This is probably the first time that the poison has taken effect on a capable person since it came to this world.

Crocodile was dead, but his body was still intact, with his eyes closed and his expression peaceful.

He seemed to accept his death very calmly.

Mary looked at Crocodile lying at her feet, and suddenly felt depressed.

Looking at Crocodile's expression and recalling his reaction just now, I always felt like he was the winner.

The words Crocodile said to Mary before he died also left her speechless.

"I hope you can reach the top in the future, so that even if I serve as your stepping stone, I won't bury you too much."

"And that old man with white beard... I was defeated by him back then."

"If you can defeat him one day... come and tell me."

Thinking of this, Mary looked at Crocodile's sleeping body with some emotion, and couldn't help but marvel.

It is undeniable that Crocodile's actions made Mary unable to reconcile with him, and Crocodile could not tolerate Mary who repeatedly hit him hard. There must be death between the two. This confrontation between mortal enemies did not prevent Mary from admiring Crocodile's courage.

"I respect you as a man."

Mary said softly in a voice that only she could hear, and then strode away.

It's time to declare the outcome of this war. As for Crocodile's body, leave it to Weiwei's subordinates to recover it when the time comes.

The rest is Alabasta's business.

In the pouring rain, Mary walked step by step towards the highest terrace, but in just a few minutes, Mary stood at the top of the city.

Looking down at the entire Albana, Mary raised the saber in her hand high.

The effect of the dancing powder has also expired, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds began to dissipate.

In every corner of the city, Smoker, Tina and others felt something and looked towards the city center.

Even if Mary can't be seen, the dissipating dark clouds seem to reveal something.

The heavy rain stopped, and the people who were fighting each other stopped with a feeling, and looked at the center of the city in unison.

That place where the dark clouds are weakest.

"……war--"

Mary shouted loudly, and at the same time, the thick dark clouds were finally broken by the sun, and rays of light illuminated the center of the city.

"--it's over!!!"

This sentence was the declaration of the Warring States Marshal to the entire battlefield at the end of the Dingding War.

At this moment, when the battle of Albana was a foregone conclusion, Mary shouted these words.

The same as the war on the top, the reason for shouting this sentence is to reduce unnecessary battle losses. This is Vivi's dream. She hopes that no one will die. Mary can't do this, but she can reduce the number of casualties.

What is different from the war on the top is that the battle in Albana——

It is the victory of [justice].

Mary's eyes were piercing and her cloak was flying high in the air.

At this moment, after defeating Crocodile, her momentum rose to the highest point.

After all, after traveling through time, the people Mary faced were either terrifyingly weak or ridiculously strong.

Crocodile was the first one Mary defeated, and he was also called a strong man in the original work.

Winning this battle meant a lot to Mary.

"Kacha."

The ubiquitous reporter captured the scene from an upward perspective from the ground.

And this photo also became a very important image record of the legendary career of [Blood Hand].
