Chapter 288 Fierce Battle with Crocodile

"Mori-kun has never shown up. Is there any accident?"

It was already early in the morning, the moonlight had long since disappeared, there were only faint stars in the sky, and the eastern sky was already glowing with a faint white color.

Weiwei stood on top of a boulder and looked around, but didn't see any people.

Since Tang Sen took Von Clay away, he has not appeared again. Everyone searched around and did not see Tang Sen. After Luffy and Zoro almost separated again, everyone Talent had to go back to where they were.

"What accident can happen to him?" Usopp stood aside: "He is as strong as a monster. You can't forget that black thing yesterday, right?"

"What I'm worried about is whether he will face Crocodile by himself." Weiwei looked worried: "People like Mr. Mori are unwilling to involve everyone from the beginning to the end."

"Is he as good as you say?" Usopp asked: "This person obviously just hates us, or hates pirates, right?"

"Mr. Mori is not this kind of person." Weiwei shook her head: "Maybe the plan he mentioned last night was just to delay us——"

"If that self-righteous guy really went to find Crocodile by himself, we should be able to see the movement, right?"

Zoro squatted aside holding his sword.

Perhaps it was because of Chopper's medical skills, or perhaps because the recovery ability of people in this world was incredible. When the sky became slightly brighter, Zoro was actually able to walk freely.

"Whether it's Crocodile or that guy, there's a lot of movement in their abilities. You won't forget the strange black thing he summoned last night, right?"

"Of course I won't forget it!" Usopp shuddered: "That thing feels like it's alive, and it makes people feel very uncomfortable!"

"That sharp sound, even if it sounds in the rain, we can still hear it here."

"That's right." Sauron said: "It has been a night now, but if there is no movement around, it means that the guy has not at least met Crocodile."

"Maybe he has his own plan." Nami said, "This person is mysterious to begin with."

"It's also possible that the woman tipped off that Crocodile has run away." Usopp laughed stiffly: "After all, all his men were defeated by us. Even the Shichibukai, as long as we heard about Usopp If Uncle Pu is here, he won’t dare to come, right?”

"Coming!" At this time, the hair on Chopper's body suddenly exploded: "I can feel that something is approaching!"

Chopper's perception was always very accurate, so everyone immediately stopped talking and became serious.

Usopp raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the rainy ground. He saw something in the darkness that seemed to be approaching quickly. Although he couldn't see clearly, Usopp could feel his heart starting to feel hairy.

"It's really coming!"

Usopp was so frightened that he dropped his telescope and crawled under the boulder.

"I'll be arranging the formation for you from behind!"

Nami, Vivi and Chopper also hurriedly hid down. This was what they had agreed upon before. Facing enemies like the Shichibukai, their strength was indeed too weak and they would not have any effect on the frontal battlefield. , but it may be delayed.

Soon, only Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, the three most powerful members of the Straw Hats, were left on the boulder.

"I can't wait." Luffy grinned and clenched his fists: "Let's beat up Crocodile here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rapidly approaching was already not far away. In the dim light before dawn, everyone could see that it was a figure wearing a fur coat. His lower body turned into yellow sand, carried by the strong wind, Flying in the sky like a sandstorm.

"Rubber pistol!"

Luffy struck first, stretched his fist, and struck the opponent head-on.

Crocodile did not dodge, and his entire head was blown away by Luffy, turning into yellow sand all over the sky.

But the next moment, the yellow sand gathered again, and Crocodile appeared intact.

"Ghost Slayer!"

"Shourou!"

Zoro and Sanji jumped up at the same time, and with the light of the sword, Crocodile's body was cut into two halves. Sanji suddenly performed a roundhouse kick, and his upper body exploded completely.

But all this did not cause any harm, the yellow sand floated in the air, and then gathered again on the boulder.

Crocodile was unharmed, and Shi Shiran stood in front of the three people.

He looked at the three of them with a gloomy expression, focusing on Luffy.

"You're the one who calls me Straw Hat?"

"Obviously he is a pirate, but he insists on getting involved in this kind of thing because of an unimportant person, and even dares to stand in front of me——"

"Weiwei is not an insignificant person." Luffy pressed the brim of his hat, "She is my companion."

"That guy is so weak but so naive that he wants to save this country on his own, and wants to stop you from causing harm to this country. Even if he dies, it doesn't matter. As her companion -"

"Krokdal, I'm going to beat you up here!"

"Is it a boring bonding trick?" Crocodile said with a mocking look on his face: "Sacrificing yourself because of being too intimate with others is the stupidest way to die in the world."

"I underestimated you before. You were obviously just a newcomer to the Grand Line, but you were able to defeat my subordinates. However, I will not let this kind of accident happen a second time."

"Is there anyone else in the Straw Hats? A woman with orange hair, a man with a long nose, and a reindeer. They are all hiding with Nefertari Vivi?"

"Your opponent is us!" Zoro put on his turban, bit the sword in his mouth, and assumed a three-sword style stance.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we are in this desert, no one can escape." Crocodile said slowly: "Since you want to take the first step, let's go together."

"This desert will be your burial place."

Before he finished speaking, the three of them rushed forward.

Fists, blades and kicks fell on Crocodile at the same time.

Crocodile instantly turned into yellow sand and passed through the three people's siege. A golden hook condensed out of the sand and hooked towards Luffy at a sinister angle.

Luffy dodged narrowly and narrowly.

"Is this the so-called natural devil fruit?"

He took a few steps back: "Every time I hit it, it turns into sand. It's really troublesome."

Crocodile gathered his body again and was not in a hurry to take action.

"Now that you know the existence of natural devil fruits, do you still naively think you can defeat me?"

"All your attacks are ineffective against me!"

"My fist will tell me whether it's useful or not." Luffy pounced on him again: "I will definitely stop you! Crocodile!"

The four of them fought together, and yellow sand rolled up from the boulder.

At the same time, Tang Sen's figure was shrouded in hallucinations, standing on the sand dunes in the distance.

"How reckless."

He sighed slightly: "Then let me help you a little."

The magic power in Tang Sen's body began to operate, and the power of ancient magic disturbed the entire sky.

Clouds began to gather quickly above everyone's heads.

Raindrops fell from the sky.
