The desert of Nanohana was screaming. Sir Crocodile stood in the center of the storm, his hook glowing with a neon-red digital aura. He wasn't just using sand; he was using 'Admin Dehydration'. Every grain of sand touched the crew, and their skin began to flake away like dry paper.
"It's no use, Amine!" Zoro shouted, trying to swing Shusui. "The sand isn't physical! My swords are passing right through him like he's made of ghost pixels!"
Amine gritted his teeth, his system screen flashing violet warnings.
[Warning: Enemy Boss using 'Root Access'. Reality damage is 400% higher.]
"He's using a 'Firewall' on his body!" Amine roared. "Zoro, throw me your Wado Ichimonji! Now!"
Zoro tossed the blade. Amine caught it, and instead of drawing on the ground, he drew directly onto the steel of the sword. He drew 'Liquidity'—the concept of water that could never be dried.
[New Item Created: The Fluid Steel. Ability: Ignores Admin Firewalls.]
"Zoro, catch!" Amine tossed the sword back. As Zoro gripped the handle, the blade glowed with a deep, ocean blue light. "Now, cut the code, not the sand!"
Zoro smirked, spinning his swords. "Three-Sword Style... Dragon Twister: Redrawn!"
The blue blade cut through the sandstorm like it was nothing, leaving a permanent scar on Crocodile's digital body.
