Chapter 1018: Kuro Is Nothing!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, he only paid attention to it. The proud and capable Crocodile would naturally not pay attention to a pirate with a reputation of 30 million. Even if it was Kuro who named him, it was only 30 million in the end, and Crocodile had never heard of him.
A small pirate may have something special about him, but he won’t take it to heart. If he meets him, he will kill him. If he doesn’t meet him, then he is lucky.
He wasn’t Rudolph. That guy was crazy enough to catch pirates on the route he was in charge of, which caused a lot less active pirates on that route. But Crocodile couldn’t be wrong about this kind of thing. The position he occupied was in the middle of the route. Most of the pirates would pass through here, and Mr. 1 and the batch of hippos collected in the New World could get rid of most of the pirates.
And why don’t you go to the New World now? It’s mainly because the forces have not been formed and you can’t go to the New World.
His current power is still very weak, and sometimes he needs to do things himself.
After all, he still needs the Shichibukai position, and he also knows a little about Kuro’s temperament. If he leaves so willfully without stabilizing the route, his Shichibukai position will probably not be good.
Bang!
Suddenly, he felt a tremor around him. The floor suddenly cracked and a few streams of water vapor sprayed out and directly hit the ceiling, turning the environment of the hall white and abnormally hot.
“Yes?”
Crocodile’s eyes focused on the white mist around him, which instantly shocked him, “Water…”
Steam has water, and for the Sand Sand Fruit, the existence of water cannot elementalize it.
“Steam?”
Crocodile snorted and opened his palm and released a suction force. The water contained in the steam was quickly absorbed, and at this moment, the scene of white mist quickly cleared.
He can only materialize, but it does not mean that he cannot absorb abilities.
After absorbing this water, Crocodile turned into a ball of sand and rushed out of the palace. Looking at it, he saw that the island was full of steam columns, making the entire island environment white fog.
“Boss, what should we do?” Mr. 1 asked.
“Humph!”
Crocodile exhaled the smoke and stretched out towards the sky, “Dried and withered!”
The water contained in the steam crazily gathered in Crocodile’s palm when he reached out, spreading and clarifying the white mist.
Sand Sand Fruit is not as simple as sand. Sand is easily satisfied by water, but it represents ‘withering’!
Withering will never be satisfied by moisture.
Under the suction, the white mist scattered, allowing Crocodile to see the scene outside the island.
On the port, there were a few more ships, and in the sky above the green terrain, a man with steam coming out of his lower body was watching him.
Crocodile did not know this person, but his first reaction was to immediately say, “Sam William?”
“Clockdale!”
William looked at Crocodile, whose lower body had turned into sand, and was shocked.
The title of ‘Desert King’ can’t be faked at all. He’s also a Logia!?
“It’s really you…”
Crocodile’s face darkened. “I thought you would escape without attracting attention, but in the end, you fought your way up? A mere 30 million pirates, relying on their Logia, they are arrogant enough to want to defeat Shichibukai and me, Crocodile?”
Wasn’t this his purpose for coming here? Otherwise, why would he come here directly and attack first? If he didn’t know that he was here, he wouldn’t have attacked like just now.
But why?!
Why did so many Shichibukai choose him? Did they think that he was easy to bully?!
He, Crocodile, is already considered the weakest existence in Shichibukai?!
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”
Thinking of this, Crocodile let out a high-pitched and strange smile. “I’m so angry that I’m laughing! 30 million pirates dare to look for me. Let me show you that our Pirate Level is completely different!”
He stretched out his hand and gathered a small sandstorm on his palm and threw it forward. “Saran!!”
The moment the sandstorm was thrown out, it expanded and the desert terrain on this side expanded crazily. The incarnation flew towards William because of a desert tornado.
Here it comes!
William gritted his teeth and used this to test his true strength!
William’s body rushed downstairs and his fists were embedded in the ground. He stared at the approaching desert tornado and said, “Superheated steam!!”
A huge pillar of steam gushed out of the ground and hit the center of the desert tornado, mixing with the tornado. The impact of the steam pillar offset the power of the tornado itself, and the moisture contained in it was resisting the desiccation of the desert itself, quickly integrating it and dissipating like a bubble.
“I did it!”
William was shocked and showed strong confidence. He laughed and said, “My guess is right, I did it! Shichibukai is nothing, it’s all my illusion!”
It was on the same level as Crocodile’s attack. That moment made William’s suspicious thoughts firm.
This is Shichibukai!
It’s still Crocodile!
And I offset his move with one move. Both sides must have not used their full strength, and this way, he can also offset the attack. Then it is not a problem of his strength, nor a problem of his vigilance.
That is the problem of childhood trauma!
Crocodile is nothing special. Similarly, Kuro is nothing special!
What has he been cautious about all this time?!
He had wasted too much time. If he had developed in East Blue from the beginning, East Blue would have been his base by now. He might have even become a great pirate.
But it’s not too late now, there’s still a chance to remedy everything!
He did not know if Crocodile could defeat him, and he was not sure, but his Kenbonshoku (Observation) told him that Crocodile did not seem to be a person who could deal with him. This strength is enough, it means that he already has the strength of Shichibukai!
And in Crocodile’s eyes, these words were very harsh.
Shichibukai is nothing special?
The Shichibukai he’s looking for now is me, doesn’t that mean that he thinks I’m nothing?!
“A 30 million pirate who just came out of East Blue!”
Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, “It’s so good! You’re all so arrogant. I’ve decided, I’m going to kill you seriously!!”
“Thirty million?”
William smiled confidently. “When I defeat you, it will be more than that, Crocodile!”
“Sha Lan!”
“Superheated steam!!”
