YM778.TV Chapter 436 - Someone Is Playing Tricks on Them!
“This ability…”
Crocodile’s eyes shrank. His eyes slowly moved and looked at a tall figure coming from the distance—the man who was always sloppy and lazy.
Marine Admiral, Aokiji!
Crocodile stretched out his hook and looked at the man. He grinned and said, “Well, no wonder a Rear Admiral dared to provoke me. Is it because he has an Admiral as his backing?”
If it were before, then Crocodile was not interested in fighting with Aokiji. Even he didn’t think he had any chance of winning.
Because there was a difference between Logia-type’s fruit ability.
However, now that Crocodile got a new power, this desert battlefield was the most suitable for him. Crocodile’s courage was too small if he didn’t have the confidence to challenge an Admiral with such a big advantage.
He was the man who challenged Whitebeard!
Aokiji was just a mere Admiral!
When Aokiji came over, he immediately rescued Rear Admiral Drake from the yellow sand. When Aokiji rescued Rear Admiral Drake, his body was covered in blood, and his body was full of wounds from the sand.
This Rear Admiral was a real pitiful person.
As a Hie Hie Mi(Ice-Ice Fruit) person, Aokiji felt a little unbearable, “Well, that… You should find a place nearby to heal yourself first…”
“Yes.”
Rear Admiral Drake covered his wound and nodded.
Just as Rear Admiral Drake was about to leave, he said, “Sir Aokiji, you must be careful.”
“Well… Yes…”
Aokiji nodded casually and walked to Crocodile.
Aokiji walked forward step by step.
As he kept moving into the desert. The sand on the ground slowly became a layer of ice.
“This is a desert…”
Crocodile spread his arms and said with contempt, “Aokiji, even if you can freeze the desert for a while, the high temperature here will soon melt the ice…”
Crocodile suddenly opened his arms, “Now this is my home ground, even if you are a Marine Admiral. You are too confident…”
The next moment, a sand storm swept over.
These sand waves were as tall as a city wall; they were going to bury Aokiji, this Marine Admiral, and turn him into a pile of bones.
Aokiji’s palm suddenly fell on the sand!
Ice instantly began to condense from his palm. A similarly tall ice wall quickly formed and blocked this earth-shattering wave of sand!
The first time the two Logia-type devil fruit eaters fought, they formed a magnificent scenery. There were endless waves of sand dozens of meters high on one side, and on the other, the ice wall was as motionless as a mountain!
“It’s actually powerful to this extent?”
This scene shocked Rear Admiral Drake.
Originally, Rear Admiral Drake thought that the gap between him and these top experts wouldn’t be too big, but now it seemed that the gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud!
At least he wouldn’t dare to intervene in the fight between this two Logia-type!
“Oh, I underestimated you…”
Aokiji held his forehead and looked at the waves of sand that kept hitting the ice wall. Aokiji was sure that the marine underestimated Crocodile.
Did Crocodile awaken his Suna Suna Mi(Sand-Sand Fruit)?
“Hmph…”
Crocodile’s voice drifted in the yellow sand, and he seemed to have a little more confidence, “Is an Admiral only capable of this?”
At this moment, Crocodile was really full of confidence!
Ichibi, who had just entered his body, had greatly increased his strength! Crocodile had never thought that he could do this!
The next moment, countless yellow sand suddenly condensed into a huge sand hand and punched the ice wall, creating a crack!
In an instant, the ice wall was broken, and endless yellow sand flooded in along the gap like a broken dam!
Aokiji didn’t dare to be slow, the cold air in his hand flew up and sealed the yellow sand again, and he even used the yellow sand and ice to build a solid city wall!
The confrontation between the two Logia-type was far more shocking than he imagined!
Crocodile relied on his geographical advantage to constantly sweep the yellow sand, but all of them were blocked by Aokiji. But it seemed that this Admiral was at a disadvantage!
“Is this the man who challenged Whitebeard?”
Rear Admiral Drake was shocked; he looked at the cloud and whispered, “As expected of the Marine Admiral… He is still calm in the face of this kind of situation.”
Who would have thought that after Rear Admiral Drake said this, Aokiji controlled the ice wall to block the yellow sand while looking at Drake in the distance and said, “Hey, see if there are any reinforcements near Alabasta…”
“Wh… what?”
Rear Admiral Drake was stunned.
He did not understand it. Why did a Marine Admiral need reinforcements? Aren’t he the marine strongest force?
Aokiji scratched the back of his head and slowly said, “Oh? This guy… seems to be a little troublesome… We need some reinforcements to catch him. Is that what you mean?”
“You are an Admiral!”
“Oh? There is no other way!”
Aokiji looked at the sand behind the ice wall and said, “You saw it too? This guy is quite strong… After all, he is also a Shichibukai. It will be very tiring to defeat him… Do you think of a way?”
“…”
Rear Admiral Drake was completely speechless.
He wanted to call for reinforcements because he felt tired?
Moreover, it was too late for him to use Buster Call, especially since this was Alabasta. It was impossible for warships to drive over!
At the edge of the desert.
Uehara sensed the battle in the distance and looked at the people around him. He sighed and said, “This guy’s acting is not good. When will you go on stage? Let me remind you that Crocodile has become Ichibi Jinchuriki…”
“Uehara-sama, don’t worry.”
Kisame couldn’t help but grin. He glanced at everyone present. “We, Akatsuki, should be the best at capturing Jinchuriki, right?”
“Hehehehe…”
Deidara took out a clay figurine and said, “The last Ichibi Jinchuriki died very miserably…”
Sasori could not help but look at Deidara and whispered, “This time, be careful. You broke one of your hands that time.”
“Sasori, it was just a moment of carelessness…”
Deidara immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Sasori-senpai is right.”
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and whispered, “This Ichibi Jinchuriki is different from Gaara. The combined power of Ichibi Shukaku and Suna Suna Mi(Sand-Sand Fruit) is absolutely beyond imagination…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Uehara took a sip of juice and waved his hand. “Shukaku in Crocodile’s body is on our side… I will let Shukaku act in secret when you are in danger.”
Everyone, “…”
This was the same as putting spies into the enemy’s body!
At this moment, Kabuto thought of something and suddenly revealed a smile, “As expected of Naraku-sama. In the future, maybe we can think of the same method and arrange a spy in the body of another Marine Admiral?
For example, in the body of the Marine Admiral Akainu, there was a Yonbi, Son Gok?. This would allow Akainu to get stronger power, but it would also allow Yonbi to control Akainu.”
One must know…
Bijuu could not only become a helping hand!
Sometimes, Bijuu could also take lives!
“Eh, this suggestion is not bad.”
Uehara touched his chin and slowly nodded, “Let’s find a chance to arrange it for Admiral Akainu!”
After Uehara finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, “As for now, go and support Aokiji first! This time, we can deal with Crocodile and let him escape alive!”
Uehara narrowed his eyes and smiled, “When he escapes to the sea near Alabasta, Robin will appear to save him at his most desperate time…”
“…”
Nico Robin couldn’t help but sigh. She rubbed her forehead and whispered, “Mr. Crocodile definitely wouldn’t think that; that time was the beginning of his true despair…”
After that, Nico Robin couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Uehara, are you still not going to support him at this time?”
“Don’t worry about Aokiji, have a little confidence in him!”
Uehara’s eyelids twitched, and he whispered, “That is a Marine Admiral and marine strongest fighter. That guy doesn’t work hard at all. You should be worried about that guy’s acting!”
Uehara looked at Kabuto and said, “Alright, now call our Rear Admiral Drake! Tell him that someone has raised the conditions here!”
“Yes.”
Kabuto nodded and dialed Drake’s Den Den Mushi, “Rear Admiral Drake, I have a problem here. There are several senior agents from Baroque Works surrounding me and Uehara…”
“What?”
There was a hint of nervousness in Rear Admiral Drake’s voice, “Kabuto, are you alright over there?”
The operation this time was really not going smoothly!
Crocodile and Admiral Aokiji were in a fierce battle. On the other side, Kabuto was also surrounded by the agents of the Baroque Works. He felt that he had fallen into a trap!
Did Uehara lie to them?
Fortunately, Kabuto provided good news, which relieved Rear Admiral Drake, “No, these senior agents will betray the Baroque Works… They originally sneaked into the Baroque Works for another purpose.”
“What do you mean?”
“These people have long wanted to seize Crocodile Shichibukai’s position, but they have always been afraid of Crocodile’s power.
Now, these people heard that the marine had revoked his Shichibukai position. They hope to help us encircle Crocodile and get his position.”
Kabuto looked at the people around him and continued to speak to the Den Den Mushi, “Hoshigaki Kisame, who has the highest reward, suggested that he knows Crocodile’s weakness. He can help us kill Crocodile, and the condition is for him to replace Crocodile as Shichibukai…”
“…”
Rear Admiral Drake was silent.
After a while, Rear Admiral Drake looked at the situation on the battlefield and said, “I will report this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku first, and you will appease them first!”
After that, Rear Admiral Drake immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi and reported to Fleet Admiral. He got his permission and immediately contacted Kabuto.
Rear Admiral Drake said in a deep voice, “Tell those pirates that whoever can kill Crocodile can get his Shichibukai position!”
“…”
Everyone present fell silent.
F*ck, he wanted to trick Akatsuki?
Sasori immediately reached for the Den Den Mushi in Kabuto’s hand and said coldly, “Don’t talk nonsense. If you want to kill Crocodile, the three Admiral need to attack together!”
“Then what can you do?”
Rear Admiral Drake’s voice was a little hoarse.
Sasori continued, “We can only repel that guy, so as not to make the marine lose face. After all, that is Crocodile!
We lurked in the Baroque Works just to take off his head and get his Shichibukai position. If you didn’t know his weakness, even if your Marine Headquarters dispatched an Admiral, it would be impossible to defeat him…”
“The Shichibukai only has one position vacant now.”
But there are too many traitors in your Baroque Works!
Why didn’t you come out before? Once Crocodile was surrounded by marines, you immediately jumped out!
Rear Admiral Drake held back his ridicule and said in a low voice, “Only one of you can succeed in this position. After the end of this battle, I will report to Fleet Admiral and choose the strongest and most powerful one among you!”
“Then… Deal!”
