Chapter 196

Don't underestimate these ordinary gravels, their destructive power is far beyond your imagination.

The sand and gravel we see in ordinary life give people a very fragile feeling due to their loose density, which even gave rise to idioms such as a plate of loose sand.

But when the density of sand and gravel reaches a certain level, not only is it not inferior to steel and cement in terms of hardness, it can even be comparable to diamonds!

Of course, based on Crocodile's physical level, it is impossible for him to know the theoretical knowledge that the greater the density of sand and gravel, the stronger the hardness. Moreover, he does not have the conditions to compress sand and gravel to the level of diamond in a short time.

But after years of exploration, Crocodile relied on his past experience and roughly knew some ways to use it. He simply and crudely condensed a large amount of sand into a curved sand blade, which was powerful enough to easily cut a three-masted sailboat in half.

In addition, Crocodile also insidiously injected scorpion venom into the sand, which volatilized with the air. Once inhaled into the human body, it would cause great destructive power.

With this combination of punches, Crocodile had killed many strong men.

Facing the overwhelming arc-shaped sand blades, Yang Ming did something that shocked Crocodile extremely.

However, Yang Ming's five fingers spread out into claws, as if to welcome the many arc-shaped sand blades coming towards him.

"Infinite City!"

At this moment, a door opened in the space around Yang Ming, transferring all the arc-shaped sand blades into a different space.

Infinite City is a huge castle located in an alien space. When these curved sand blades fell into it, large areas of the building were torn apart in an instant. However, they were restored to their original state under the self-healing effect of Infinite City. It's like there has never been a disaster.

It’s a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

From Crocodile's perspective, he naturally couldn't see the true face of Lushan in Infinite City. He could only feel that Yang Ming made a casual move and the skill he tried his best to release disappeared in mid-air, and not even a shadow could be seen.

He couldn't understand it, but he was shocked!

If Yang Ming fights back strongly, Crocodile will not be numb and will still be in a dimension that he can understand.

But what is happening now?

Crocodile only felt that the man in front of him was full of fog and mystery, and he even felt faintly afraid. If this ability was applied to him, would he disappear without a trace in an instant?

As a hero, Crocodile never trusts anyone, only trusts his own eyes and his own judgment. Once he senses something is wrong, he immediately turns around and runs away again.

This is not a shameful escape, this is a strategic retreat!

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood.

If you lose your life here, that would be the real shame.

Looking down at Crocodile's fleeing figure from a high altitude, Yang Ming said leisurely:

"I don't care what people in this world say about me. I just want to do things according to my beliefs and never regret it, no matter now or in the future!"

Putting his right hand on the handle of the knife, he slowly pulled out his Zanpakutō.

This Zanpakuto that has accompanied Yang Ming for many years seems to be excited about cutting off the head of a powerful enemy. The blade is trembling slightly, and purple thunder and orange flames spread along the tip of the blade. On the top, armed domineering and overlord domineering are intertwined in it, and the entire blade is gradually dyed into the appearance of a black sword.

cut!

A sword beam stretched across the world and shot out across the sky. The terrifying sword light seemed to cut the sun and the moon apart, carrying a terrifying power.

Feeling the tsunami-like sound of the wind behind him reaching his ears, Crocodile couldn't help but subconsciously look back.

This sight almost scared him out of his wits.

What kind of terrible chop is this?

As Dao Mang moved forward, he actually plowed a huge ravine in the desert, which appeared in front of Crocodile like the Great Rift Valley in Africa. It was unknown how many meters deep it was, and it was impossible to see the bottom at a glance. The cut edges were smooth and smooth. , endless quicksand pours down, trying to fill the vacancy of this ravine.

What's even more frightening is that this attack blocked all Crocodile's escape routes.

At this fatal moment, Crocodile stepped on the ground with his right foot, and a stormy sea suddenly rose under his feet.

"Erosion of reincarnation!"

The Shasha Fruit can not only turn any part of the body into gravel, or assemble it into any form, but also can cause the creatures and objects in contact to absorb all moisture and turn them into gravel through physical contact.

The desert set off a huge wave, turning into a huge sand barrier in front of Crocodile, and the corrosive power contained in it could not only block the progress of the sword, but could even further erode the sword.

With the help of this moment of resistance, Crocodile turned into elements and merged into the ground, intending to escape far away from this ominous place.

In fact, this scheming hero didn't even care about anything else this time and drilled all the way underground. Looking at his posture, it was as if he was trying to penetrate into the core of the planet.

"Now, let's see what you can do to me!"

Chapter 286 Dark Fruit

The radius of the planet where One Piece is located exceeds 7,000 kilometers, and the distance from the center of the earth to the corresponding point on the other side of the planet is at least 14,000 kilometers.

Theoretically speaking, if Crocodile uses the Shasha Fruit to drill all the way underground, it is possible to sneak into the core of the earth.

In fact, since the deepest desert in the Kingdom of Alabasta is only more than 300 meters, and the average depth is about 150 meters, Crocodile relied on the advantage of elementalization to be able to freely shuttle among the gravel at first. If you encounter a thick geological layer covered by the desert, if you want to drill further, you must first spend some effort to convert the solid soil into soft gravel before you can continue drilling.

The further away from the ground, the thinner the oxygen becomes, and the surrounding pressure begins to increase, even the elemental body is affected, thus slowing down Crocodile's descent speed.

Because of this, when the huge sword light split the desert, and Yang Ming's five fingers were like eagle talons, he clasped onto the back of Crocodile's neck and snatched him out of the gravel. Crocodile's whole body was filled with excitement. It's confusing.

who I am?

where am I?

What am I doing?

In Crocodile's plan, he could drill down into the earth's crust and dig a tunnel from the ground to connect to the outside world. He could easily avoid Yang Ming's detection and arrest, and thus gain freedom calmly.

But now, what's going on?

Crocodile was confused!

It is conceivable that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world. Even in the cultural desert of One Piece, this is still a wise saying.

At least, when you are captured alive by the enemy, you won't cry stupidly because of your own operation.

With a "click", the Hailou stone shackles were clasped on Crocodile's hands. When Yang Ming escorted the famous hero away, Crocodile had not yet recovered.

It can only be said that his knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry is not worthy of his ambition and measure.

On the way out of the Rainland Oasis, Yang Ming took the time to look at the system prompts.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for saying a classic line from One Piece and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the lottery roulette?"

A lottery roulette appeared in Yang Ming's sight, but no one around him noticed it.

The lottery wheel is divided into two categories: Devil Fruit and Skills.

Devil Fruit: Dark Fruit, Burning Fruit...

Skills: Six styles of navy, fishman karate, shemale boxing...

[Darkness Fruit]: The most vicious ability in the history of devil fruits. After eating it, it has infinite gravity and space like a black hole that even light cannot escape. It can suck in everything that comes into contact with darkness, and compress and neutralize it with infinite power. Crush, and can attract Devil Fruit users, rendering their abilities useless.

The dark fruit fell directly into the space ring.

This is a fruit that looks like a cantaloupe, except that its outer skin is dark purple and has strange patterns painted on its surface.

"A dark fruit?"

Yang Ming secretly thought in his heart that he was not a devil fruit user. If he ate this dark fruit, it would only give him the ability to fear sea water. Instead, he could choose a subordinate to give it to him, or use it as bait to catch a fish. Catching Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach and turning him into a pawn.

Yang Ming has not yet reached a final conclusion on how to think about it.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting over the long river.

Tina and others stayed in the Rainland Oasis and were not idle at all. They were attacking everywhere, knocking down the members of the Baroque Working Group who tried to fight back, and shackles them with sea tower stones.

None of the girls were worried about Yang Ming's safety. He was just under the Qiwuhai. It might be a threat to others, but to Yang Ming it was really nothing.

On the other hand, all the employees of Baroque Works, except for Nicole Robin, have not figured out the situation yet. They looked at each other as if they were working on some Morse code, which made Nicole Robin secretly Shaking his head, he said secretly:

"What a bunch of frogs in a well."

Nicole Robin once stayed in the Flower Kingdom of the West Sea for a period of time, and also witnessed the methods and strategies of the former Governor of the West Sea. Often, a seemingly inadvertent move may have a hidden meaning behind it, which will have consequences in the future. A series of butterfly effects.

Precisely because of her knowledge of this Shura general, Nicole Robin did not believe that Yang Ming came all the way to Alabasta just to arrest Crocodile Crocodile. The woman's sixth sense told her , there is absolutely nothing simple behind this matter.

However, based on the intelligence and clues that Nicole Robin currently has on hand, it is impossible to deduce Yang Ming's intentions.

"This Shura General's strategies have always been unconstrained, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Just as Nicole Robin was thinking, she heard the huge Sundora lizard next to her making a cry of joy. She followed the Sundora lizard's eyes and looked at it.

Then he saw a tall and straight young general walking slowly in the long yellow sand, holding Crocodile upside down in his hand. It seemed that the balance of his body was not affected by the extra person in his hand, and he was still walking as fast as flying.

"Boss, what's wrong with you!"

"How could this happen? The boss is one of the Seven Martial Arts Under the King!"

"It's over, even the boss has been defeated, we are completely done!"

All members of the Baroque Working Group looked desperate, obviously not expecting that Crocodile would be defeated so quickly.

Starting from Crocodile's escape from the Rainland Oasis to Yang Ming's return after capturing Crocodile, the total length is no more than ten minutes.

Ten minutes is enough time to eat a bowl of noodles. You can imagine how short this time is.

After transferring the captured Crocodile to Tina and others for custody, and instructing them to take good care of Crocodile to prevent him from biting off his tongue and committing suicide, Yang Ming had time to look at the members of the Baroque Working Group.

The vice president, Nico Robin, has the flower fruit ability.

r.1 Daz Bonis, the user with the ability to cut the fruit quickly.

Partner, iss double-fingered Bora, a user with the ability of the thorn fruit.

r.2 Bensam, a person with the ability to imitate fruit.

r.3 Gal Dino, a person with wax wax fruit ability.

r.4 Bebu, the weapon is a gun with a canine fruit in the form of a dachshund.

Partner, iss Christmas Dorophe, a user with mole fruit abilities.

r.5 Jem, the one with the ability to explode fruits.

Partner, Iss Valentine Michita, a user with light and heavy fruit abilities.

It has to be said that Baroque Co., Ltd. is a treasure trove of power that includes users with Devil Fruit abilities of various functions.

If we ignore the shortcomings of its staff such as unreliable character, weird ability development, and incompetent work efficiency, just looking at the strength on paper, Baroque Working Co., Ltd.’s cadres alone are enough to form a powerful team. Pirates.

When the members of the Baroque Working Society met to discuss Yang Ming just now, they did not have a very obvious intuitive feeling.

But now, when they noticed Yang Ming's sizing eyes, all the members of the Baroque Work Club felt a chill on their backs, as if they were being noticed by a predator at the top of the food chain. Every cell in their body could not help but tremble. It caused their bodies to tremble slightly.

Among them, as the partner of R.3 Gal Dino, Iss Golden Week Marianu is the youngest one, even younger than Yang Ming. She is a cute and cute little girl with a face rich in collagen. It is full of childishness that does not understand the world.

At this moment, her pretty face suddenly turned pale and colorless, and her legs wearing blue and white striped fishnet stockings couldn't stop shaking. Finally, her legs softened and she sat down on the sand, "Wow" She burst into tears all of a sudden, crying so much that she felt a river of sadness flowing backwards. People who didn't know better would mistakenly think how Yang Ming treated her.

Under the pink wide-brimmed hat, the little girl's dark red twin-tail hair was bouncing up and down. Tears fell down, soaking her shirt.

Tina walked forward in three steps and two steps, half-crouched on the ground, and comforted softly in a low voice:

"Be good, nothing will happen."

Even though Tina is usually vigorous and resolute when doing business, bravely charging forward on the training ground and on the battlefield, and living like a man, this womanly woman who does not give in to men actually has a gentle side.

Raising her hand to gently wipe away the tears of Iss Golden Week Marianu, Tina looked back and glared at Yang Ming, seeming to blame him for scaring the little girl. Then she turned back and took out a booklet from her pocket. Personal secretary Khalifa specially compiled the files and records of all members of the Baroque Working Society, and even attached corresponding photos. ap.

After comparing the information from the file records, Tina felt confident and said:

"Mariannu, can I call you Mari?"

Realizing that Tina's gentle behavior was not as scary as the good-looking big brother next to her, Marianu finally stopped crying. After sobbing for a while, she took a sip and replied:

"Um."

Seeing that Marianu's heart was initially opened, Tina smiled slightly and her behavior became more gentle.

"I heard that you were an orphan who was adopted and raised by the Baroque Workshop. Your dream is to become a painter, right?"

In these days, it is almost impossible to support yourself and your family as a painter, and no one wants to be a painter at all.

Marianu originally thought that the gentle elder sister in front of her would laugh at her dream like everyone else. Just when she was about to deny it, she heard Tina say happily:

"What an amazing dream. Sister, can you please draw a portrait for us?"

As she spoke, Tina quietly unlocked the sea tower stone shackles on Iss Golden Week Marianu's hands.

iss Golden Week Marianu looked at Tina blankly, shaking her head like a drum.
