One Piece: Under the Throne

The whistling yellow sand made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes. Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the sandstorm. Red and black lightning crackled and created pits in the sand.

The sandstorm dissipated in an instant, and a figure floated in the air, looking down at Leo and his group.

"Angel of Water, what are you doing in my kingdom? You are not welcome here."

"YO! Senior, I'm here with my friends. Your welcome ceremony is quite unique."

"Who is your senior? It's time to settle the score with Rogue Town. You were so arrogant back then!"

Leo narrowed his eyes and looked at Crocodile with displeasure: "Your pretentious personality has not changed after all these years. Who gave you the courage to look down on me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two lasers penetrated Crocodile's body. The high temperature made the wound completely vitrified. Even Crocodile's elemental transformation could not completely avoid the damage.

"You're looking for death, [Sand Storm]" A small whirlwind condensed in his palm, and after being thrown towards Leo, it grew bigger and bigger, instantly forming a sandstorm in the desert.

Leo flew into the sky in a combat mecha to fight Crocodile: "I'll play [Water Attack] [Floating Gun] with you."

The huge water droplets gave Crocodile a great sense of crisis, so he had to transform into an element again to prioritize avoiding the water. However, he could not avoid the attack of the floating cannon even though he avoided the water. The laser penetrated his sand-turned body and almost burned Crocodile into a glass man. Although transforming into an element could minimize the damage, the accumulated damage from the dense lasers was something he could not bear.

[Desert Sword] A crescent-shaped scimitar made of yellow sand slashed towards Leo.

Leo wanted to use the water mirror for defense, but failed due to lack of moisture in the desert air. Leo was secretly annoyed and restrained by the terrain, secretly thinking of a way to subdue the crocodile.

It would be too boring to use the Seastone Cage to play the Observation Killing. Even if you beat Crocodile with this method, he would not be convinced. After taking down the Desert Sword, he fought back while controlling the battlefield to slowly move towards the coast.

Originally, Leo had a poor sense of direction, and had to leave it to God to lead the way. However, when he started an air battle with Crocodile, his vision instantly widened and the blue and yellow boundary in the distance was clearly visible.

Crocodile's face was grim: "Hahaha, it turns out you can't transform into an element. You dare to fight me in the desert. You will definitely lose today."

The metal mask blocked Leo's face, otherwise Crocodile would definitely see his contemptuous expression: "You are just like this at best. You are far inferior to the three monsters of the navy as both of you have the fruit of nature."

The speed of the sand could not catch up with Leo. After dodging the attack again, the leg armor of the mecha opened and a small missile was fired.

The missile was not aimed at Crocodile, but flew into the air: "Where are your eyes looking at [Desert Diamond Sword]?"

The enhanced version of the Desert Sword was faster and more powerful, and even with the speed of the mecha it was not able to completely dodge it, and one of its leg weapons was destroyed.

Suddenly, dazzling flashes of light and piercing noises swept the sky. Crocodile, who had just been feeling complacent about the success of his attack, instantly became blind and deaf, and floated in the air in pain, holding his head.

[Continuous Water Strikes] Dense water balls hit Crocodile, and his wet body instantly lost its elementalization. Leo also seized the opportunity and a laser pierced through Crocodile's left shoulder, severely injuring him with one blow.

"Ah, damn it! Despicable guy." Crocodile covered his shoulder with one hand, blood seeping through his fingers. His eyes, which were dazzled by the flash bomb, could only open a crack, and he saw double when he saw people.

But this also aroused the ferocity of Crocodile. As a pirate hero, Jack Rockdale also had the courage to fight to the death, so he launched a more fierce counterattack.

Sand blades flew and lasers flashed, the battle between the two became more and more intense, but Crocodile failed to notice that the battlefield was gradually approaching the coastline.

Leo was getting more and more relaxed as he fought. He had already figured out the strength of the sand crocodile. It was very bad! As they approached the coastline, Leo already felt that he could establish a connection with the sea.

"Mr. Crocodile, are you still going to resist? As fellow Shichibukai, I think we should have a good communication."

"You're talking nonsense. You're invading my territory without any reason and you think you're right. Go to hell [Heavy Sand Storm]."

Leo shook his head helplessly. This guy was really stubborn. In the original book, he was just a weak and boastful character. However, Leo still admired him. As a fellow person making a living on the sea, Crocodile was very charismatic except that he was a little insidious.

But the fight still has to be fought. If he can't kill the Crocodile, he has to defeat him completely. Thinking of this, two more missiles were shot into the sky. Crocodile subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and this time Leo fired not a flash bomb but an incendiary bomb.

At the same time, two water dragons appeared on the sea and rushed straight into the sky, like two lines connecting the sea and the sky, sending a large amount of water vapor into the clouds. At the same time, loud explosions were heard in the air, and flames dyed the clouds red. Under the alternation of cold and heat, a large number of dark clouds covered the desert country.

"Crocodile, since you won't listen to my advice, accept the baptism of the world [Water God World·Rain Sword]."

After a few thunders, it started to rain heavily. The dense rain moistened the desert country, and Mr. Crocodile, the user of the nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, was stunned because he was completely soaked.

Leo sneered behind his mask: "Is the Nature-type fruit very strong? You were so awesome just now [Rain Sword·Slash]."

Dense raindrops formed sharp sword edges that slashed towards Crocodile. In an instant, screams resounded through the sky. Countless sword edges slashed through Crocodile's body, and his coat, which he was so proud of, was also chopped into pieces. The sand crocodile, who was so tough just now, only lasted 10 seconds in the rain of blades before being shot down.

Looking at the fallen Crocodile, he said disdainfully: "You idiot, a reckless man in the future has already given you a way to capture you, just get you wet."

Crocodile felt like he had been dreaming for a long time. He dreamed that he returned to his childhood. He was extremely talented in his youth and became famous not long after going to sea. He was even noticed by that big shot. Unfortunately, he failed in his challenge to him. That battle not only made him lose his left hand, but also took away his courage to venture into the sea.

Crocodile finally gave in between life and death. Later, he accidentally discovered the news of ancient weapons. One shot of Pluto could destroy an island and an invincible battleship. As long as he got it, he would be invincible in the sea again.

Pluto, Pluto, Pluto, this name kept appearing in his mind. Suddenly, Crocodile, who was lying on the sand, opened his eyes: "Pluto, I must get you."

After a loud roar, his consciousness gradually returned to his body. Why was he here? That's right, it was that bastard Water Angel. The natural disaster-like scene reappeared in his mind, causing Crocodile to shudder unconsciously, and then he cursed: "Damn Water Angel, I..."

Before he finished shouting, his eyes focused and he saw clearly what was around him. A group of people were eating grilled fish on a grill in the desert. The devilish figure and a group of men and women were all staring at him with wide eyes.

What did I say just now? Did I curse the Water Angel? Shit, shit, what should I do if I curse him? Crocodile felt cold sweat pouring down his body, and the sweat soaked his body, making his Sand-Sand Fruit ineffective again.

Leo blinked his eyes. This bastard actually dared to scold me. And he was just shouting Pluto, Pluto in his dream. Isn't it shameful for a grown man like you to dream about something so big, thick and black?

Leo shook the grilled fish in his hand: "Would you like one?"

Ah…ah…ah…ah…. Crocodile used his hands and feet to retreat a long way in fear: “You…you, why are you here?”

Leo rolled his eyes. The sand crocodile had turned into a stupid crocodile. Did he hit too hard just now? "We've had a fight. Can we talk it out? Do you want to know the news about Pluto?"

Crocodile's eyes widened: "How did you know? No, you know the news about Pluto?"
