Chapter 38: The Dust Settles

What is anger?

Anger is an emotion, a nervous and unpleasant emotion that arises when a wish is not fulfilled, or when an action to achieve a goal is frustrated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Anger, the first of the seven deadly sins, is a most instinctive emotion. In Crockdahl's mind, it was also understood as the wail of a defeated dog. Because anger is a negative emotional state, anger is often followed by irritability.

There is no doubt that the fire of anger is a kind of power, and it has even been evaluated as a weapon of the mind, a source of strength. There are countless examples that can show that when a person is angry, he bursts out with a power far beyond his own strength, the most direct is Luffy in the original book, many times he has exploded in anger to defeat strong enemies.

But while anger gives strength and motivation, the burning anger will also ignite the last shred of reason in the heart, so that the person who is burned by anger will become a slave to the domination of rage.

Like the berserkers in the Holy Grail War, the rage increases their power, but it also robs them of their sanity and sets the stage for their defeat.

At this time, Smoker is like this, the humiliating defeat to Crockdahl has become an anchor in his heart, and the more he fights with Crockdahl, the more the anger wrapped in justice becomes.

Anger was followed by mania, and under the madness, the fire burned all of Smoker's sanity, and in the face of the flaws that appeared in Crockdahl, he did not hesitate to attack with all his might.

Kang Long regretted it, but Smoker used ten percent of his strength. Although his subconscious told him that this flaw appeared too suddenly, he could no longer bear it under the increasingly manic mood.

Success or failure in this move, he seems to have seen Crockdahl's bloody appearance in his eyes!

With a loud roar, Smoker, who had fallen into madness, was forced too hard, causing the bruises on his face to burst out, and in addition to the anger in the roar, he could also hear a little hoarse pain.

Smoker's arms stirred violently, and countless white smoke erupted, sweeping over the sky like a huge wave, and slamming down with a monstrous momentum. The illusory and frivolous smoke, under the strength of Smoker, also seemed to be pressed by the power of a thousand catties, like a huge wave of frenzy, vowing to turn everything into ashes.

Before the sea tide of smoke slapped, Smoker's momentum had firmly locked Crockdahl, and Rao Crockdahl's strength also produced a feeling of powerlessness, and his body fell into a brief stiffness.

The alarm flashed in his heart, and when it seemed that God had taken it and the will to resist was about to collapse, the instinct that belonged to Crockdahl, who had been wandering for many years in life and death, saved him. Almost subconsciously biting the tip of his tongue, the blood on the tip of his tongue connected to his heart shot out like an arrow, the fishy sweet taste filled his mouth, and the mixed severe pain stimulated him even more, and his drowsy mind was cleared for a while. The body that stiffened by Smoker's momentum also regained its freedom.

As soon as he was over, Crocodall noticed that the white sea had pressed overhead, and a "sandstorm" was hurriedly released, and the violent wind and sand protected him like a swirling and moving wall. Until this time, Crockdahl's heart was also beating a little fast, obviously he didn't expect the power that Smoker burst out in an instant to be so powerful.

It was originally a plan to sell a flaw, but it almost became a trick to shoot stones, but Crockdahl couldn't help but be indignant in his heart, after all, his strength was not strong enough!

The seemingly violent wind and sand have always been able to disperse the smoke before, but this time it is helpless with the white ocean in front of him, and the smoke pulled by the rotating force is even more amazing, seeing the crisis approaching, Crockdahl showed a smile, like contempt, as if proud.

The counterattack that has been gathering momentum for a long time, and even does not hesitate to tear his wounds to find an opportunity, has finally come.

"You want to use the power of heaven and earth to suppress me?" snorted disdainfully, like the smoke of the sea tide was only a stone's throw away, but Crockdahl regained his composure, "Compared with the real power of heaven and earth, your move is not powerful enough!"

As he spoke, Krokdal rose violently, and he endured it for a long time, but it was finally time for the final kill. The power of the Devil Fruit was frantically mobilized, and the power of his whole body was also controlled and extracted by him, even the little power used to suppress the injury was not spared, and it was all gathered into the small whirlwind in his hand.

"Hehehehe...... "Crocodall slammed the little whirlwind into the sand. After a moment of stagnation, the violent air currents continued to spiral.

Crockdahl was swollen, his clothes and hair were blown by the wind, and the hunt fluttered. With him as the center, the winds swirled and blew, and then converged into a huge storm, and Crockdahl was at the center of the storm.

The storm was formed, and then the desert began to shake continuously, and the sand dunes were constantly broken like landslides on the way to the shaking, but the sand dunes were formed in the shaking...... Repeatedly, the whole of Alabastan seemed to shake. Of course, this is just an illusion, but the power of this move is very obvious.

As the shaking became more and more violent, the sand centered on Crockdal began to rotate as if it were a storm. It didn't take long for the storm to become bigger and stronger, and the sand in the sky seemed to be able to weathering everything and filling the entire space. It was as if the end of the world was coming, and the whole space was dark.

And the name of this trick is also called ......

"Sandstorm Cataclysm!"

The name of the move squeezed out from between Krokdal's teeth, and he was desperate to force it out after being seriously injured by the flying squirrel. Perhaps, only in Alabastan, a place full of sand, could he commit such an astonishing act......

After all, the desert is his home turf. Here everything is enhanced for him!

The ground and the storm rotated in opposite directions, and the smoke that had been overwhelming before seemed to have turned into a pediatric, stalemate with the storm for a moment, and then be blown away. Then, the sand rolled upside down, forming a huge spindle-shaped sand cone, which chiseled towards Smoker.

Tianwei was induced, but Smoker's face turned pale. Several times I tried to turn into smoke and escape, but each time I was just starting to elementalize, I was immediately blown away and couldn't succeed. The rest is only one move to fight against the combined attack of heaven and earth with his own strength.

The wind howled and the earth shook, but it made the people in both the battlefield and the royal city stop their movements and look in the direction of the storm. The huge storm made everyone who saw it despair, as if the end of the world had really come...... Especially on the battlefield, the people who were fighting desperately a moment ago were all leaning together at this time, quietly waiting for the arrival of Tianwei.

"When the dust settles, it's all over......," Crockdahl said with certainty.

Stretching out his hand and looking at the cracks on the top of his right palm, Crockdahl smiled with joy. That feeling just now, it seems to be......

Domineering?!

……

In the ancestral hall, Robin, who was silently waiting for his fate, was also shaken and awakened. However, he immediately smiled faintly and didn't care. I'm going to die anyway, what's he doing outside......

"That's ...... It's okay......" The bitter words came out of Robin's mouth, startling herself as well. Do you still want to live......

"Boom ......"

The already fragile ancestral hall finally collapsed in a huge tremor, and in the smoke and dust, wisps of sunlight were scattered and projected between the huge stones.

It seems that God has eyes, or the providence of the underworld, and huge stones fall, but they are always a little away from Robin, and they don't hurt her a little...... And von Clay was also lucky enough to be saved by the space formed by the mutual support of several stone pillars when they fell, and he was not harmed. Even so, it also made him scream in surprise.

Robin, on the other hand, burst into tears after witnessing the boulders falling, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

"It's hard to ...... Don't...... Won't Heaven let me die...... Why...... Whining...... Why ......" Robin's cry was terrible, but he couldn't tell what feelings were contained in it.

Under the power of heaven, manpower is difficult to resist. Crokdal, who pretended to be a celestial power, used up all the power he could refine, shattering Smoker's attack in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the spindle-shaped pillar of sand had already swallowed the opponent. Then, having lost the sand that Crockdahl had manipulated, after consuming all of its impact, it fell back to the ground like a torrential downpour, following the laws of nature.

Bathed in the yellow sand, Crokdal is a little embarrassed but like a god of war.

"Huhuhu......" panted, Rao used the power of Crockdar to make this move in the desert, which also made him feel a little prostration. Pulling Luffy out of the sand at his feet and slung to his shoulder, Crockdahl chased after the storm. Although he controlled the sand just now, the storm was not under his control, and swept away in the direction of Albana. As for Luffy, it was he who buried himself at his feet at the beginning to prevent being affected by the aftermath of the attack, which would not be easy......

Albana...... Nafirutali...... The time has come for you to perish, O name of sin......"

On this day, all the surviving Alabastanis saw a scene that they will never forget. A huge sandstorm slowly came, carrying a sky of yellow sand and rushing towards the royal city of Albana. As for his own soldiers on the battlefield, they are also within the scope of the storm.
