Luffy's eyes lit up.
Crocodile felt a little scalp-numbing at this moment. What on earth did this guy do?
It's not domineering, but he has mastered another similar means of attack.
"It feels a bit like Fishman Karate. Is it that special Qigong from the Flower Kingdom?"
Of course, Haki isn't the only way to defeat the natural type in the ocean.
Fishman Karate, the Flower Kingdom's Eight Punches, or the special impact power mastered by some life-returning masters can all hit those with special abilities.
However, it is not possible to hurt the natural system after just the initial mastery of the skills. Instead, one needs to reach the level of iron-cutting similar to that of a swordsman. These methods also require proficiency.
I was injured when I was caught off guard.
This surprised Crocodile, but he won't do it again next time, after all, he can observe and smell it.
Just get out of the way!
Just as he thought this, Luffy in the center of the sandstorm lost his target and looked at the rapidly rotating sandstorm.
He knew somehow that the sandstorm was Crocodile.
"Rubber Jet Gatling!"
Countless air waves that broke through the sonic boom appeared, and fist shadows flew in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Crocodile felt threatened and tried to transform himself into an element to avoid harm.
But Luffy's attack speed was beyond his imagination. Of course, it was also because his body became larger after becoming an element. In comparison, he naturally did not have the convenience brought by his small body.
After making sure that Luffy could "hit" him, the elemental body that had previously transformed quietly condensed in the center of the sandstorm again.
"Straw Hat Boy, do you also know the West Sea's Qigong?"
"I don't know." Luffy answered honestly: "This is the ability my partner mentioned. Although I can hit you now, I can't defeat you."
Luffy was still very confident in his previous moves, but looking at Crocodile who seemed to be uninjured, Luffy realized that his methods could only injure but not knock him down.
Recalling the previous feel, Luffy's eyes became more determined. If he could achieve that, he just needed to improve more and feel that feeling.
Luffy found the trick and his eyes gradually became firm.
The surrounding atmosphere also quietly changed.
"..."
I can feel that the other party is using me as a touchstone.
And the more they fight, the more they can feel Luffy's growth rate.
If I continue like this, maybe the other party will really be able to master the ability to defeat me.
This is a genius who grew up in battle.
Seems similar to that person.
Douglas Barrett.
I felt the same way at that time. The more we fought, the stronger that madman became.
But at that time he chose to retreat and did not fight the madman to the end.
Is it going to be used as a whetstone this time?
Chapter 123 The horror of the natural system.
Crocodile's eyes were gloomy.
The organization collapsed, his subordinates betrayed him, and he was used as a whetstone.
Crocodile's anger had reached an uncontrollable level due to countless failures.
Luffy seemed to notice that his expression had become serious.
The magical and predictive ability in his mind gave him a hint.
Now, even if he is hit by the iron hook in the opponent's hand, he will be injured.
What's happening here?
Luffy was puzzled, but he believed in this ability.
But the next moment, Luffy was shocked to find that the iron hook and the desert sword had appeared in front and behind him at the same time.
Being flanked.
If it were before, Luffy would dodge the Desert Sword and then take the Hook head-on.
After all, the iron hook did not pose a threat to him.
But this time the sense of danger was strong.
Luffy finally chose to dodge the hook and was hit in the back by the Desert Sword.
Although the diamond suit reduced damage, Luffy was still injured.
"what have you done?"
Luffy looked at Crocodile in confusion.
"This is the domineering aura you are talking about. Haven't you seen it?" Crocodile said casually.
But Luffy frowned as he looked at the other's increasingly soft features.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the face, why does he feel that the other person's temperament now is a bit like Feng Clay?
This is followed by a combination attack of the Desert Knife and the Iron Hook.
Luffy dodged in a panic.
But he still didn't understand why the iron hook, which had posed no threat to him before, now felt so terrifying to him.
Does being hit once feel more painful than being hit ten times by a desert sword?
Is this domineering power so strong?
But what does it feel like to be domineering?
Luffy didn't understand, and the more he avoided her, the more curious he became.
In the end, Luffy managed to escape briefly.
The sandstorm has become more severe.
The originally cloudless sky was now covered with dark clouds due to Crocodile's sandstorm, and the sunlight could no longer shine through the sandstorm.
It turns out that I have to take it head-on once to feel that feeling.
Luffy's eyes were serious. He had actually wanted to give it another try a long time ago.
Just been hesitant.
But this time, he made a decision.
"Rubber Jet Bazooka."
Luffy disappeared from the spot.
Only a little white steam remained on the ground.
Wind pressure swept across.
Crocodile was not surprised. He had already seen in his observation Haki that Luffy would appear in front of him.
"If you underestimate me, you will pay the price in blood!"
The domineering aura is wrapped around the iron hook. If you use the perspective of observation, you can naturally see that the pitch-black domineering aura has wrapped around it.
The hook was unstoppable, and while it opened up Luffy's strongest attack at the moment, the hook did not stop. It continued to move forward, determined to pierce Luffy through.
However, the tip of the hook only pierced Luffy's chest and could not move forward an inch.
The soft nature of the rubber and its strangely hard texture prevented even an attack with Armament Haki from penetrating it.
Seeing this, Crocodile frowned and changed from stabbing to slashing.
A faint line of blood appeared on Luffy's body, from his chest to his waist and abdomen.
"What are your bodies made of, man? Why is it so soft and hard at the same time?" Crocodile could feel that the other party did not have any domineering hardened defense.
It's pure physical strength.
But even if Barrett was hit by himself, he would never take it so easily, and it was just a blood mark, just a scratch on the skin.
This terrifying defensive ability.
Is this what the animal-type Kaido is like?
Or did this guy inherit BIGMOM's iron skin?
Or is this guy the child of the two of them who was left behind?
It's no wonder Crocodile thought so. What he did just now was not only the Armament Haki, but also the use of Ryuo technique. But why is the guy in front of him not only fine, but even seems to have only suffered minor injuries?
But in fact, blood was oozing from the corner of Luffy's mouth.
The armed color Ryuo is internal destruction.
Luffy was inevitably injured.
But he is very satisfied with the current results.
"Si Guoyi, if it weren't for my partner's power, I would have been pierced by you now." Luffy frankly acknowledged the other party's strength. After all, he was not fighting alone.
"What do you mean?"
Luffy looked at Crocodile with serious eyes.
He could feel that the other party had been intentionally controlling the power, and only in the last moment did he burst out with the power that made him feel threatened by death.
Luffy reached out and took off the diamond hat on his head.
Then remove the diamond sets one by one.
