"Armament Haki?"
Crocodile's expression suddenly changed. Not having time to think more, he immediately activated his Devil Fruit ability, intending to transform into an element.
However, the moment this thought had just emerged, the pitch-black fist slammed down heavily.
The speed was so fast that Crocodile didn't have time to resist at all.
Rumble! The sound wave that exploded like thunder brought a strange suffocating taste.
The violent impact force, at this moment, was like a dyke breaking, venting crazily.
Under the impact of the invisible heat wave, the surrounding desert land collapsed and sank.
Crocodile, who was one of the Shichibukai, was directly sent flying like a cannonball.
The desert land that he passed along the way seemed to be quickly torn apart by an invisible big hand.
In front of everyone's eyes, he crashed into a rock mountain that was more than ten meters high.
Rumble! The huge force vented, and the heavy rock mountain shattered directly.
Crocodile's body, like endless yellow sand, directly collapsed in the four directions of the sky.
Watching this scene, the pupils of the people who were present, especially Daz, contracted suddenly. Their faces were full of disbelief.
He had long expected that there was a certain gap between Crocodile and Kai.
Just like what Kai had said not long ago, their choice to stay in comfort was to abandon the path of the strong.
As long as they weren't blind, they could see that the gap between the two sides couldn't be measured.
The endless yellow sand reorganized again near the shattered huge rocks.
Watching Crocodile, who had a gloomy face, a slightly messy clothes, and blood remaining at the corner of his mouth, Kai didn't rush to pursue.
He slammed the staff in his right hand on the ground and said, "Crocodile, you are a Shichibukai and can be considered a good combat power. I also love talent. Why don't you surrender? It's good to choose to surrender. I don't want to kill you either!"
"Persuading a Shichibukai to surrender?"
Daz and the others couldn't help but be stunned in place.
No! It should be said that the people who were present were dumbfounded as they watched the scene in front of them.
Just imagine, even the Marine Headquarters, and even the entire sea, recognized the great pirate, and even the World Government could only appease him with the title of Shichibukai.
Now, someone was actually threatening him with death. Was this insulting Crocodile, the Sand Crocodile who had been famous among the Shichibukai for a long time, or could it really be done?
Disordered thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. Everyone's gazes turned in unison and locked onto Crocodile.
They eagerly wanted to know what Crocodile's reaction would be in the face of Kai's death threat.
"Good, very good, what an arrogant person!" Crocodile's face was gloomy to the extreme.
Meeting Kai's gaze, he shouted angrily, "Whitebeard didn't dare to say these words in front of me back then. Today, I never expected that I would be looked down upon by a mere brat."
"I'll let you see what the wrath of a strong person is. You stupid people will be buried in the endless wind and sand with this arrogant person!"
"You should soon know why I chose to fight you on this desert!"
The roars echoed like thunder.
The Devil Fruit power that was lurking in Crocodile's body poured out crazily.
The yellow sand land where he was originally located seemed to be stirred by an invisible big hand.
As circles of undulating ripples quickly rippled out, the endless yellow sand was directly stirred up and transformed into waves that slowly rolled.
The feeling was as if a prehistoric beast was turning over on this desert land.
The people who were stationed on the yellow sand had a feeling that it was difficult to stand.
This strange desert rolling was quickly spreading towards the refugee camp.
At this moment, Crocodile gave people the feeling of being like the master who controlled this endless desert.
It made people feel inexplicably frightened.
"Princess Vivi, what should we do? Can Lord Ainz win?"
Igaram, who had rushed over on the bone dragon, asked anxiously with a face full of worry.
Faced with Crocodile, the influence on this desert was gradually increasing. This method, which was like the god who controlled it, had simply subverted their cognition.
"In the system of Devil Fruit abilities, there are a total of three levels. Among them, the Logia-type that Crocodile possesses is the first level and is also the most difficult to obtain." Pell said with a solemn expression.
"Second only to the Logia-type is the Paramecia-type. Finally, Jackal and I both possess the Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability."
"However, from a series of battles and Lord Ainz's methods, it can be judged that the Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability that he possesses is probably the Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Skeleton Form. The characteristics and methods possessed by this type of fruit should not be inferior to the Paramecia-type or even the Logia-type Devil Fruit."
Speaking of this, Pell subconsciously looked at Kai and said, "However, all of this is just my guess. The final result still depends on whose Devil Fruit ability is developed more powerfully."
As these words fell, an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere spread out.
Feeling the penetration of power into this desert, Crocodile suddenly raised his head. A trace of a ferocious smile flashed across his face.
"Brat, your strength is indeed very good among the younger generation, but blame yourself for ignoring what level we seniors have reached. I was able to become a Shichibukai, and it wasn't just because of luck."
"The height of the bounty can't represent strength either!"
Crocodile roared again and again.
The gloomy gaze suddenly turned and locked onto Kai. Watching Kai, whose expression was still the same, he suddenly raised his hands and roared angrily.
"Today, I'll see what ability you have to set foot in Alabasta!"
"Sables: Pesado (Sandstorm: Heavy)!"
Rumble! The yellow sand from all directions, like the sea, was stirred up, forming giant waves that were more than ten meters high.
The magnificence of the momentum gave people the feeling that it was connected to the sky and was crushing down.
Witnessing all of this, everyone's nerves tensed to the extreme.
Especially the rebel army, the royal army, and others who were stationed in the refugee camp, faced with the scene of the yellow sand burying them, their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
For them, faced with this kind of god-like attack method, they didn't have the ability to protect themselves at all. The only thing they could do was to watch death descend.
However, just as this thought sprouted, Kai, who was stationed in the attack, suddenly raised his head.
The sunken bone eye sockets, the soul flames surged. The moment he clenched the staff in his right hand, he slammed it towards the yellow sand land.
The hoarse and cold voice, which didn't contain any emotional color, had a piercing taste that directly hit the depths of everyone's souls.
"Sorry, I almost forgot that I still owe Vivi a big gift!"
