"Crocodile, huh..."
Kuro sized him up and down. "What are you doing getting involved, you crocodile? Trying to help me out?"
This guy initially had a bounty of 80 million, then went all the way to the New World to challenge Whitebeard, but was defeated and returned to Paradise, directly becoming a Shichibukai. In terms of strength, he is certainly not weak.
In his youth, he could go toe-to-toe with Barrett in his youth, but Barrett had already made a name for himself in the New World when he was young.
Clam?
You're talking to me about the King of Thieves?
Don't you think it's ridiculous?
"I have no interest in your affairs."
Crocodile said coldly, "Since you don't have what I want, then I'll back off..."
call!
Before he could finish speaking, the robot's enormous hand slammed down, creating a whooshing sound.
Bang!!
The giant hand, covered in a layer of dark blue aura, punched through Crocodile's upper body, sending sand flying everywhere. Soon, the lower body was also swept away by the sandstorm.
The rolled-up sand quickly coalesced into the shape of Crocodile.
In the past two years, he has rekindled his Haki. He always had it before, but after becoming a Shichibukai, he wandered around Paradise and gradually lost his mind in pursuit of the so-called 'Dark King' goal.
After being defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, he gradually recovered. On the high seas, strength is still very important.
Even though Hades could destroy a kingdom with a single shot, it wasn't that no one could achieve the same power.
That golden lion can do that, can't it?
Strength is still very important.
However, Crocodile doesn't need to specialize in Armament Haki. Logia-type users don't have that much need for Armament Haki. A slightly stronger Logia-type user's attack power is comparable to advanced Armament Haki. As long as a Logia-type user has sufficient Observation Haki, they are already a competent user.
Domineering aura isn't a magic bullet, so there's no need to try so hard to understand it.
Physical skills, swordsmanship, abilities, and domineering aura—these four, or even just three, can each shine brightly in their respective fields.
Crocodile's Observation Haki was already quite good, and after picking it up, it has become increasingly refined recently. He dodged Barrett's punch by transforming into his elemental form beforehand.
His face darkened. "What do you want to do, Barrett?" he asked.
"Of course we took them all down! Crocodile, you're a worthy opponent."
A ferocious voice emanated from the robot: "I'll be the strongest after I defeat you all! Come on, come on!!"
"You bastard!"
Crocodile stretched out his palm, creating a small dust tornado, and threw it in that direction.
"Shalan!"
The sandstorm rapidly expanded, forming a massive tornado that enveloped the robot.
"it's useless!"
The robot burst out of the tornado and swung its arms straight at Crocodile.
At this point, the navy began to move.
Onigumo, cigar in his mouth, commanded, "Go!"
The colonels, skilled with firearms, raised their weapons, aimed at the robot, and pulled the triggers.
Bang bang bang!!
The projectiles formed a dense barrage around them, heading straight for the robot with a muffled thud. These projectiles were imbued with a domineering aura, but they couldn't even pierce the steel body.
The other colonels rushed over at that moment, each drawing their own weapons, imbued with domineering aura, and attacking the robot.
One of the colonels leaped high into the air, wielding a giant axe. The axe blade flashed with black light as he cleaved heavily towards the robot's head.
when!!
The heavy axe strike only caused a jolt on the robot's head; the immense recoil even sent the robot flying outwards.
"let me!"
From the remaining navy, a man wearing a mask and a wide-brimmed hat suddenly appeared. He moved and activated 'Shave', flashing to the side of the robot. In the midst of the navy, he reached out and touched the robot's metal arm.
“Shuen…” Kuro was taken aback. His ability seemed to be the 'Rust-Rust Fruit,' which could make weapons and even the human body rust. However, if the human body rusted, it could gradually return to its original state if someone interrupted it. Unless it was completely rusted, even if it was only half rusted, it would be useless.
Xiu En touched the giant robot directly, but it was completely useless.
This robot is now exuding an aura of dominance.
call!
The giant robot swung its arm and swept past. Xiu En was startled and quickly retreated, using 'Shave' to dodge the attack.
"The intensity is too low."
Dalmesia clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, transforming into his beastman form, looking like he was wearing a spotted dog's hat. As he walked, he said, "Let us go."
“Mr. Kuro…” Kuro was also somewhat eager to try.
Kuro nodded, stared at the robot, and squeezed Qiushui's hand. "Let's get rid of this thing first."
Kro also transformed into his beast form and walked side by side with Dalmesia: "Lieutenant General, I'm here to help you."
“Colonel Black Wolf?” Dalmesia glanced at him and laughed, “Very well, let me see the power of someone from the same faction as you.”
"Nisunai!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the robot let out a roar and raised its huge hand to smash down on the colonels who were attacking him.
Whoosh!
Dalmesia and Kro flashed simultaneously, swaying forward to the left and right, then leaping up suddenly, transforming into black and white intersecting beams of light, directly passing through the robot's raised arm.
laugh!!
Two sparks flew past the raised arm, pulling it backward with the force. Behind it, in mid-air, Kro and Dalmesia appeared, still in a claw-wielding pose.
Zzzzz!
Immediately afterwards, several flashes of light from blades came slashing down.
Lieutenant Generals Squirrel, Doberman, and Fire Mountain drew their blades and slashed at Barrett's shoulder. Three flashes of light appeared in an instant, leaving three brilliant sparks on the robot's shoulder, causing the robot to stagger.
Just then, Storoberry drew his twin swords from the right, while Sterles drew his katana and dodged to the left. With the hair of the Oni Spider dancing, it transformed into six arms, making a total of eight swords with his own twin swords. They leaped into the sky and headed straight for the top of the robot's head.
laugh!
Sizzle!
Three large sparks erupted from the left and right sides of the robot, causing them to explode above its head.
boom!
The staggering robot fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Behind the smoke and dust, seven lieutenant generals, plus Kro, slowly turned around to face the robot.
Onigumo picked up a sword, exhaled a puff of smoke at the fallen robot, and looked arrogant.
As an elite lieutenant general, his domineering presence is unmatched by ordinary people.
Kuro has brought over all the familiar faces of the Navy's elite vice admirals this time, just to avoid any mishaps.
