Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Albana (7)
"Stand up, I'm going to beat you up!" Luffy, who flew into the palace from the ground, once again attacked Krokdal when he didn't react. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
All along, Crockdahl has relied on himself to be a natural ability, and no one without domineering will be able to touch his entity, and he will never elementalize or dodge in advance. The arrogant Crockdahl didn't learn the lesson of being beaten by Luffy before, and was beaten by Luffy again in less than half an hour.
"You're back, what an interesting person!" "Nicole Robin, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, looked at Luffy curiously. And the reason why she was interested in Luffy was after meeting William in Whiskey Mountain, although this was the first official meeting between Nicole Robin and Luffy, but she didn't collect information about the Straw Hats.
Crockdahl stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted unhappily: "It's you again, the strength between us is worlds apart, I'm the Seven Martial Seas!"
Since becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas, Crockdahl has not been looked down upon like now, and he has actually been injured three times in a row by the same rookie pirates. The first time was when he was injured in the chest by William's "Dragon Claw Fist - Dragon Breath", which caused a lot of injuries to his body. And the second time was more than ten minutes ago, Luffy was injured in the chest again with a rubber rocket launcher, causing a bad situation of injury on injury. The third time was now hit head-on by Luffy's rubber machine gun, and half of the attacks hit him where he was injured.
As a natural ability, even if he is injured, as long as he can't hit his strength, it won't have much impact on them. But Luffy's ability to constantly hit Crockdahl's body is another matter, and the continuous improvement of injuries will weaken his combat effectiveness.
"What about the Seven Martial Seas, I still have the Eight Martial Seas!" Luffy didn't take Crockdahl's identity as the Seven Martial Seas in his eyes at all, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all the way to the Kingdom of Alabastan to beat Crockdahl.
"Rubber gun!" Luffy, who knew that the situation was urgent, stopped talking nonsense and attacked Crockdahl again.
"Your moves don't make sense as long as you dodge them. And it doesn't matter if your hands are wet or not, my palms can absorb any amount of water!" Crocodahl grabbed Luffy's outstretched arm with his right hand and absorbed the water in the arm to dry up Luffy's arm. Luffy's ability to hit Crokodal before was completely unexpected, and Crokodal's light enemy, anyway, Crokodal was also a figure who broke through in the second half of the great voyage when he was young.
Although these years of comfortable life and the advantages of natural fruits, as long as he does not perceive the existence of domineering, he will not be able to dodge the opponent's attack. This is also the reason why Luffy was able to hit him twice when he suddenly appeared.
"Oh no, I forgot that he still has this ability!" Luffy hurriedly broke free of his arm from Crockdahl's hand, and the panicked Luffy quickly took a few large mouthfuls of water from the bucket behind him to replenish the water, and returned the dry arm to its original state again.
This was specially prepared by William for Luffy in order to defeat Crockdahl, although they had already inflicted a lot of damage on Crockdahl three times in a row. But in the face of enemies at this level, even in the face of the seriously injured Crockdahl, Luffy's chances of victory are less than half.
And the successive losses at the hands of Luffy and others have made Crockdahl no longer underestimate, which is very disadvantageous for Luffy.
"You said it!The power of the Devil Fruit will become stronger depending on the method used!" After noticing that his arm had returned to normal, Luffy poured water on the gauze wrapped around his hand again. Krokdal talked too much nonsense when he defeated Luffy in the rainland, and inadvertently reminded Luffy of a lot of things, among which the sentence "The ability of the Devil Fruit will become stronger depending on the method used" gave Luffy inspiration for development, and Luffy once again developed a lot of creative moves.
"So what?" asked Crockdahl, puzzled. He did say this when he was in the rain, but it was to Luffy who was dying. But if it hadn't been for William's intervention, Luffy would have really turned into a dried corpse and buried deep in the desert, and Crockdahl vaguely guessed that William was still alive as well.
"Rubber ~ Scatter Bullets!" Luffy flicked his arm while using the rubber gun, and the rapid rubber gun formed dozens of afterimages as it swung. Although only one punch in the rubber shot was real, Crockdahl had to make a dodge or take another punch.
"Desert Sword!" Crockdale's right hand turned into a knife and slashed towards Luffy, and the deep ditch that Crockdahl had slashed out stretched all the way to the perimeter of the palace.
"It's this trick again, it's so dangerous!" Luffy, who barely got hit, quickly unloaded the bucket behind his back and threw himself at Crockdahl and shouted, "Turn into a soup chicken!"
"Sandstorm!" Crokdal, who was in danger, instantly released a sandstorm that blew Luffy away along with the bucket. Because Crockdahl had already launched a sandstorm more than ten minutes ago, and this attack had increased the range of the sandstorm over Albana a lot.
"Without that bucket, you can't do anything! You haven't made any progress from before!" Seeing that Luffy didn't fall outside the palace, Crockdahl said arrogantly. Indeed, as he said, Luffy, who has not mastered the domineering power of the armed color, the only way to encounter the Crockdahl entity now is to use water.
"How about this? Luffy!" Luffy, who suddenly had an idea, drank a whole bucket of water into his stomach, and his fat figure and bandaged wound actually leaked, and in the face of such Luffy, whoever was his opponent would feel speechless, but this was Luffy's way of thinking.
"Hehe!" Robin, who had been watching the battle, couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you serious? What are you kidding?" Crockdahl shouted angrily. I thought to myself: Does he know what the situation is now, does that little ghost look down on me!
"Who's kidding! I've always been serious!" Luffy said seriously. Although he has always been serious about fighting, his actions do make his opponents speechless, and although the fighting style is very strange, it is very effective.
"What a fiery little ghost!" the enraged Crockdahl pressed his right hand to the floor of the palace, and in just a few seconds, the floor of the palace was already shattered.
"The ground is actually shattered? Look at my 'rubber water spray'! and 'rubber rocket launcher'!" Luffy was taken aback by the sudden shattering ground, but he still hurriedly squirted a mouthful of water at Crockdahl and also used the rubber rocket cannon to attack it.
This time, Crockdahl did not move his body to avoid Luffy's attack, but stretched out his right hand to absorb all the water that Luffy sprayed without leaking, and at the same time took the initiative to elementalize his body in advance to avoid Luffy's "rubber rocket artillery". The arrogant Crockdahl said with contempt, "You think you're strong?"
"There's no time, boss!" Robin, who hadn't spoken, suddenly reminded Crockdahl. They had already been disturbed by Luffy once before, but before they left the palace, Luffy, the unbeatable little strong, ran back again.
"Go first, Nicole, Robin!" Crockdahl said simply. He knew that it was the most important thing, and that all this conspiracy was prepared around that thing. Because only King Kobra knew about it, although they didn't find Kobra in the palace, they still found some clues about it.
"Yes, yes!" Robin answered and left the palace, and Luffy had no intention of stopping her. Because of William, Luffy didn't meet Nicole Robin, but he heard William and Vivi talk about this woman. Since this woman didn't join the fight, Luffy wouldn't forcibly stop her, after all, Luffy had only one purpose, and that was to beat Crockdahl out.
"Erosion reincarnation!" Crockdahl pressed his right hand to the ground again, this time the already shattered ground gradually turned to sand. In a few moments, the entire floor of the palace was covered with a thick layer of sand.
