Chapter 33: The Battle I've Been Waiting For
"Yes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at Luffy's determined gaze, Crockdahl nodded lightly after a moment of silence.
A simple word, after saying it, made Crockdahl feel relieved, as if the world in front of him was much clearer, no longer so gloomy. When did you become so gloomy? Wasn't you once a hot-blooded guy who ran for the character he loved?
It seems that he is really not a hero like Crockdahl. Isn't it better now, though, to do whatever you want.
"Oh, that's right. Luffy listened to Crockdahl's answer and smiled surprisingly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth. Scratching the back of his head, he said in a weird voice, "So that's the case, it's really like this......"
"That's right. Crockdahl said lightly.
"Damn...... Why ......" Luffy asked with a gloomy and painful face, obviously unable to believe this answer, and a little sluggish. However, with his intuition, he felt that Crockdahl was telling the truth.
"No why, I like it. Crockdahl said flirtatiously. But there was a voice in my heart that said...... In front of him, the figure as pure as a lily flickered again, and Crockdahl couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment......
"Lily......"
"Damn...... Why...... Why...... Why!" By the time Crokodal came back to his senses, Luffy had already grabbed the hem of his shirt, his right fist clenched, and a series of whys came out of his mouth, with indescribable emotions.
"There is no why...... I like it. The same answer, but with a different mood. I'm sorry...... But it's something I have to do.
"Damn! Why!" Luffy raised his head suddenly, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were about to split, "Uncle is obviously such a good person, why would he do ...... Why did you do such a thing! Let me cry slightly, let so many people be sad and painful, why! Uncle is a good person!"
"The truth is, I'm a bad person. Crockdahl smiled evilly, reaching out and grabbing Luffy's wrist from the hem of his shirt, breaking his hand away little by little.
You don't know anything! It's just a naïve smiling guy with brainless blood...... Jealous guy!
"Damn......" Luffy kept repeating these two words as if he couldn't speak, and the slight crying in front of his eyes loomed, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"I promised my companion that I wouldn't make her sad and would help her save the country......" Luffy's voice was low, but it exuded a decisive strength, "So, I'm going to beat you up, Crockdahl!" With a loud roar, Luffy exploded violently, and a punch swung out at close range, hitting Crockdahl firmly in the cheek. With the power of his fist, Crockdahl flew out of the way, making a long mark on the ground.
"Huh...... This is what I owe you, but ...... next" Crockdahl whispered to himself, he could have avoided just now, but he gave up dodging at that moment, just because of the guilt in his heart. But now, after receiving a punch, he has to put all other distracting thoughts behind him, and he also has his persistence.
"If you just want to fly me, feel free to come...... If you want to stop the war and save this decaying country, then I'm sorry, I can only ......" Crockdahl stood up and patted the dust off his body.
"Defeat you completely. ”
"Hehe, if you want to move Luffy, you have to ask me first, Crockdahl. Ace stepped out and stood in front of Luffy, facing Crocodahl. In his opinion, no matter how Luffy grows, he is not Crockdahl's opponent, and in front of his brother, how can he allow the other party to be presumptuous?
"Dude...... You get out of the way. Luffy grabbed Ace's arm, pulled him aside, and said in a very serious manner, "Crockdahl, I can only defeat him." ”
Looking at Luffy's determined eyes, Ace couldn't help but be in a trance, as if he saw his former self. The same youth, the same blood, the same impulse. However, Luffy at this time had the kind of persistence that he didn't have at that time. Showing a sincere smile, Ace touched Luffy's head, stuffed a piece of paper into Luffy's hand, and said, "This is called a life card, take him well......"
"Brother......" Luffy looked at Ace with some confusion.
"Hehe, I have something to leave. Ace shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside, then nodded to Crockdahl and turned away without saying a word.
"Damn...... Damn, have you forgotten that I exist?" Smoker, who was ignored, roared angrily, "Straw Hat Boy, Crockdahl, and Ace, I must arrest you!"
"Oh, that's right!" Ace, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly turned his head and gave Smoker a defiant look, saying, "Come here, your opponent is me, let me warm up before fighting Blackbeard, and my brother's battle, but I can't be disturbed a little!
"Hmph, get you down, I'll go get them up again!" Smoker snorted coldly and followed Ace away.
"Luffy, come on!" In the distance, Ace's voice floated over again.
"Oh!" Luffy hammered the ground with one hand and put his knee on the other, crouching like a cheetah, his eyes staring at Crockdahl for a moment. Luffy, finally put everything down and is ready to fight.
Looking at Luffy's serious eyes, Crockdahl smiled and said appreciatively, "Not bad, not bad, the eyes are indeed good...... I've been thinking about this battle with you for a long time, I wonder if you'll surprise me?"
Indeed, ever since he was reborn as Crockdahl, he has been looking forward to this battle!
"Don't talk nonsense, take it, Crockdahl!" Luffy yelled, his right arm flung back violently, and with the power of the rubber fruit, the arm was pulled back extremely long, and then the force of the rebound was even greater. Luffy's fist was like a bullet and slammed into Crockdahl. When the fist flew, the air let out a loud roar, which added more momentum to the punch.
"Rubber rubber - guns!"
I have to say, Luffy is really hot-blooded! It seems that every hot-blooded person likes to yell and tell others the name of his moves. Strange thoughts swirled in his head, but it didn't affect Crockdahl from dodging Luffy's punch. Just a few random steps left and right made Luffy's attack miss, and at the same time, he also took the time to return Luffy's desert sword, and a piece of sand slashed towards Luffy.
Luffy's fist was a lot faster than he had seen before, and it seemed to be much stronger, but he still couldn't see it in Crockdahl's eyes, after all, he was much stronger than before, even if he wasn't in his prime.
Luffy is worthy of the surname "Monchi", and his dexterity is like a monkey, with one arm retracted, and the other side firmly holding down the straw hat, jumping high, dodging Crockdahl's blow. However, this was also expected by Crockdahl, and if he couldn't even dodge this tentative attack, he would be disappointed.
"Be serious, Luffy!" Crockdahl said solemnly, "Otherwise you'll never have a chance again! I have great expectations for this fight! Don't let me down!"
"Hmph! You didn't expect it! All you expect is failure!" Luffy roared back without showing weakness, and before he could land on the ground, his right leg had already been pumped out with the force of the shake.
"Rubber, rubber, whip!"
This leg is drawn, faintly with the sound of the wind, and it is even more extraordinary. And the strength of the leg is already greater than that of the fist, and the speed is also faster. Krokdal looked at the oncoming attack from the wind, thought for a moment, gave up the idea of dodging, and activated his ability to gather a wall of sand in front of him.
"Bang!", Luffy's leg kicked firmly on the sand wall, and the sand dust was scattered one after another, and a pit was also punched out of the sand wall, but fortunately, the attack was blocked.
After another failed attack, Luffy jumped backwards and away for some distance as he landed, preventing Crockdahl from taking the opportunity to attack, and threw his hands behind him.
After the sand wall completed its mission, it turned into sand and fell. Crockdahl, who wanted to pursue, was greeted by Luffy's fist that rained down. As soon as the thought moved, the sand around Krokdal's body seemed to come alive, constantly blocking Luffy's attacks, just like the sand shield that Iara in the Hokage would defend himself.
Although Luffy's strength is not in the eyes of Crockdahl, the rubber man's physique makes his fists constantly faster and heavier. It's like the nature of the Pegasus Meteor Fist, which is just right to test Crockdahl's ability. At the same time, there is also a burst of joy in my heart, such a battle is interesting!
"Rubber rubber - guns are fighting!" Luffy still yelled at the name of his move, and Luffy's face turned red as the last "type" dragged on to "ah".
Like a chrysanthemum, the shadow of a thousand fists enveloped Crockdahl, and the fist was like a torrential rain, filling the space where Crockdahl was, without a single gap. But even such a dense fist could not break through Krokdal's defenses, and the sand firmly protected him inside. Although he was temporarily suppressed and had no chance to fight back, he was still leisurely.
As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Luffy's roar gradually became hysterical, and after holding on for a while, the ineffective attack finally shattered, and the flying fist shadows dissipated, leaving Luffy with only the figure of Luffy holding his knees and panting. The uncontrollable exhaustion hit his heart, and he inevitably felt powerless in the face of Crockdahl's still leisurely appearance. Shaking his head violently and shaking the emotion out, Luffy picked himself up and rushed towards Crockdahl again.
