Regardless of the legends of the older generation such as Roger, Whitebeard, Shiki, Rayleigh, or the current emperor who dominates the New World, none of their hegemony was achieved with the help of external forces. The reason why they frightened countless pirates was not only because of their power, but more importantly, they were all as strong as monsters.

The reputation of a strong man is earned by his fists, not by some ancient weapons. An ambitious person who wants to rise to the top overnight may be proud for a while, but one day he will be pulled down from the clouds because of his unstable foundation!

Crocodile didn't know this, and even if he knew, he would probably turn a blind eye to it. As long as he could become the Pirate King, he didn't care about these things. He only knew that if he couldn't get the information about Pluto today, he would have to be prepared to chew sand for the rest of his life. If he was lucky, when he was in his seventies or eighties, he might really be able to dig out Pluto.

If that's the case, what's the point of becoming the Pirate King!

Crocodile moved, and a small sandstorm rose from his raised palm, and the yellow sand vortex spread outward from his palm, and it grew bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, the palm-sized sandstorm turned into a huge sandstorm that could sweep across a city.

Crocodile is indeed the best among pirates, with the essence of courage and ruthlessness, and he would fight at the slightest disagreement. Under his control, the violent desert tornado roared and tore through the sky and earth, rolling towards Duke and Robin.

"The Natural Department is so troublesome!" Robin frowned slightly and was about to dodge when a big hand grabbed his waist and he was lifted into the air the next moment.

The four fingers turned into sharp blades. The edge of the blade was formed by extremely dense fine sand, shining with a metallic luster. It was sharp enough to cut any object.

"Honestly, even if you get Pluto, what can you do? Facing the monsters in the new world, you probably won't even have the chance to fight back."

The crisp sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard, and before the lingering sound faded, a sharp sword energy burst out, and the sword energy grew in the wind, turning into a dazzling long chain. The desert tornado was split in two vertically, and the violent wind was shattered by the sword energy. The yellow sand in the sky lost its support and fell into the sea of ​​sand.

clang————

The raging desert tornado was so close that the strong winds hit his body like a knife, making his cloak whistle and explode. Duke was not nervous at all and exclaimed: "Natural disasters are really terrible! If you had done this earlier, there would be no Straw Hat!"

"If the output is not enough, the willpower can make up for it... It is indeed the style of pirates. But you should practice your domineering first before telling me this!" Duke pushed Huazhou forward, and half of the knife tip mysteriously disappeared into the air.

Crocodile shouted angrily and waved his hand to stir up the dust. The strong wind carried countless fine sand into the air. He hid behind the storm and pounced on Duke.

Crocodile's strength in the first half is enough to be domineering, but once he enters the New World, his fighting style will make him extremely passive. He only relies on the power of the fruit, not focusing on physical skills and domineering. Not to mention the Four Emperors, even the cadre-level pirates can crush him. There are so many pirates like this in the New World.

In an instant, endless yellow sand rolled down, and the desert tornado connecting the sky and the earth swept back and forth madly several times. The surging sea of ​​sand, tens of meters high, buried this place deeply.

Under Crocodile's shocked and angry eyes, Duke was hit by his special skill but did not move at all, and then a pitch-black long knife chopped his chest.

Crocodile, who has the home advantage, is worthy of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea. In the vast desert, he is equivalent to a natural system with half awakened fruit ability.

Duke had read the original novel, and knew that the move of Nature's Path was terrifying, but his Haki cultivation made it seem that he didn't need to be afraid of it. After sending Robin into the door, Duke stepped forward, cleared the flying yellow sand, and rushed into the crescent-shaped sand blade with his Armament Haki protecting his body.

“Wow——”

The raging wind fell into dust, and when everything cleared, Crocodile lit up his cigar of victory, took a deep puff and said regretfully, "Even Nico Robin is dead... Damn it, is he worthy of a bounty of 800 million berries?"

“Puff!”

"Don't worry about that!"

Suddenly, a sharp long knife appeared above Crocodile's head and slashed down at him fiercely. The crocodile was shocked and had no time to think, so he quickly used the elemental transformation to avoid it. The flying sand was torn apart by the blade, and it returned to human form ten meters away.

The sandstorm rushed in front of them. Duke put his arm around Robin's slender waist, stuck her in the ground, opened a door out of thin air, and jumped in with her.

The crescent-shaped sand dune! This is a terrifying move that will suck all the moisture out of the enemy once it is hit by the sand blade. Crocodile used this move to suck the water out of countless pirates who challenged him and turned them into mummies.

A door appeared out of thin air and opened. Duke walked out of the air holding Robin. Looking at the crocodile with an extremely ugly face, he smiled and asked, "The World Government deliberately created the Seven Warlords of the Sea in order to break the pattern of the sea and make the Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors go from sharing the sea equally to a three-way balance. As one of the seven, you should be a domineering master, otherwise how can you intimidate the bastards in the New World?"

Yellow sand was floating in every corner of the air, and the rapidly rotating storm rolled up a huge shadow that covered the sky and the sun. The strong wind forced Duke to give up the moonwalk and jump to the ground with Robin. But as soon as they landed, the two were wrapped up to their knees by the eroding quicksand.

"But my ability is even more buggy!"

The angry Crocodile immediately swung out a large amount of sand to attack Duke.

Especially after becoming one of the Shichibukai, the new pirates who challenged him every year were all toyed with and killed by him. He almost forgot what it felt like to be hurt.

The sharp blade pierced through Crocodile's chest, and bright red blood dripped down the blade. Crocodile screamed again and fell to the ground again.

"It's no use, this is my territory!"

"Haki is the nemesis of devil fruits. Even the extremely powerful natural system has no chance of winning against a Haki user. Mr. Crocodile, you are obsessed with the fantasy of ancient weapons and can't keep up with the times..." Duke swung his sword to cut off the sand blade and said coldly: "You have been eliminated by the times!"

Crocodile shouted loudly, and a terrifying desert tornado that was even more violent and destructive than before attacked.

"Crescent-shaped sand dune!" Crocodile waved his right hand, and it immediately turned into a huge crescent-shaped sand blade, which circled Duke and Robin in the attack range and slashed fiercely at their waists.

The hot blood splashed high onto the hot yellow sand. Crocodile covered his chest and screamed, half-knelt on one knee, and did not stand up for a long time. It was not that the wound from the knife was serious, but that his pride was hit to pieces. Except for facing Whitebeard, he had never been defeated so miserably.

"hateful!"

Blowing out two puffs of smoke and making sure there was no life left, Crocodile said self-deprecatingly: "The 800 million heads of the Navy traitors, plus Nico Robin, can almost make up 900 million! Two troubles are gone just like that, the Navy should really thank me!"

"Don't get carried away. What qualifications do you have to lecture me?" Krokda was immediately furious and punched Duke with one hand. "Desert Diamond Sword!"

“Damn it…” Crocodile stood up suddenly. “My dream, my ambition, how could I fail in this withered country!”

But unfortunately, Armament Haki is no longer included.

Crocodile's face became increasingly gloomy. His arm transformed into a huge sand blade and slashed towards Duke, splitting the desert ground in two.

Crocodile developed the Sand-Sand Fruit to near perfection, but he only developed the fruit and gave up on Haki, which ultimately led to his inferiority. Moreover, the Sand-Sand Fruit is not a terrible fruit that will kill anyone who touches it in the natural system, and the speed and strength of sand are not superior to that of the fruit, so Duke only needed to cut off the attacking Desert Sword with a light blow.

"It's a very simple little trick, and a master of Observation Haki can easily dodge it. Mr. Crocodile, you are still far from your dream!" After saying this to Crocodile who struggled to stand up again, Duke put away Huazhou and was about to leave.

"Wait, you're just leaving like that?" Crocodile roared as if insulted, "Come on, I haven't lost yet!"

"You've already lost! When you try to achieve your dream with the help of external forces, you've already failed miserably..."
