Chapter 192: First Defeat, Robin Appears
The rubber fist arrived in an instant, piercing straight through Crocodile's head, then extended a little to the back before finally retracting.
So fast!
Faced with the rubber fist coming at his face, Crocodile, who was chasing it with all his might, had no chance to dodge and could only dodge by transforming into an element in time.
When the fist was retracted, Crocodile's head recovered.
Looking at Luffy standing quietly in front of him, Crocodile
I was startled and for the first time I had a new understanding of this cheerful and seemingly simple-minded boy.
"I never thought you were quite capable!"
"But a pirate like you from such a small place might not be able to hurt me who can transform into an element."
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Hand over Princess Vivi of Alabasta, and I'll consider letting you little pirates go."
"Let you continue sailing!"
"Hehehe, no need!" Luffy smiled brightly. "I won't give up on my partners. I won't stop sailing either!"
"I am the man who is going to be the Pirate King!"
"One Piece?"
When Crocodile heard this word, he seemed to have heard some particularly funny joke. He immediately stood in the desert and burst into laughter.
"Kid, do you know what One Piece means?"
"On the Grand Line, there are powerful monsters. Even I am not sure that I can guarantee my own safety."
"You actually said you wanted to become the Pirate King!!"
"Do you know what kind of monster you are going to face?!" Crocodile suddenly changed the subject and became irritable.
The arm turned into a long sand again and crossed the ground where Luffy was, creating a crack in the ground. Crocodile continued to roar,
"Those monsters occupy all over the Grand Line. Do you have the ability to snatch ONE PIECE from them?!"
If Crocodile just now was still a tyrant with hidden conspiracy and evil hidden in his heart, then now he is like a desperate mad dog, constantly biting everything around him.
"So what? No matter what lies ahead, I will become the Pirate King!"
Luffy spoke calmly and firmly, not showing any sign of cowardice or retreat because of Crocodile's ridicule.
But the more this happened, the more ferocious Crocodile's attacks became.
"what do you know!"
"What have you faced?!"
"What big talk is this kid who hasn't even mastered the Armament Haki?!"
Crocodile's moves were crazy and ferocious, as if he wanted to tear Luffy in half and bury him in the dark desert.
At this moment, Crocodile is like an ordinary person who has broken his defense, and he is trying his best to create a "huge wave" in the desert.
Once upon a time, he was also a pirate with dreams in his heart! But now, he is just a loser hiding in a corner!
Yes, he is a loser! A loser on this route!!
Alabasta is very big, but compared with the vast and wonderful Grand Line, and compared with the dreams flowing in one's blood, it is so small.
But he just stayed here, hiding for so many years, not daring to continue challenging this route. He even went out to find the legendary thing.
Neglecting one's own abilities.
Was he afraid? Or did he feel that he was not good enough and had to rely on external things to navigate this route again?
I don't know, but there is no doubt that he is a complete loser.
That's why he was so angry and so upset when he saw the passionate Luffy.
I don't know if it was because I saw Luffy that reminded me of my past self, or because I was angry at myself for giving up my dream and hiding in this small place for many years, never daring to take a step forward.
Look, Luffy now is so much like himself when he first set out on the Grand Line!
The battle became more and more intense, and as Crocodile fought with all his might, even the surrounding environment was changed.
A huge sandstorm was quietly accumulating in the desert.
The blood-red fist, wrapped in a strong wind, blew past my ears, but what it hit was still a piece of yellow sand.
"So tough!" Luffy did not back down, and swung his right fist again.
But this time, Crocodile's desert sword slashed across Luffy's fist, instantly tearing a wound.
"hiss!"
The tearing pain was instantly transmitted to Luffy's brain, and then a large amount of blood gushed out from Luffy's wound.
As we all know, Luffy's second gear simulates a steam engine and is developed to compress and accelerate blood circulation.
This caused his blood to circulate very quickly. Once a wound appeared, blood would gush out like a wild horse.
Just like now!
A large amount of blood gushed out and sprayed on Crocodile's body.
And the fist, along with blood, hit Crocodile hard.
"Ok!"
There was a dull sound, and the solid touch instantly excited Luffy.
After so many hits, this was the first time he hit Crocodile.
"I didn't expect that I could really use water." Luffy was excited, but then, the massive blood loss caused Luffy's brain to feel dizzy, and even his vision became confused.
Seeing this, Luffy quickly released Gear 2 and returned to normal.
Second gear is useful, but getting hurt can really kill you.
However, now that we have a way to attack the enemy, Crocodile is not so difficult to deal with.
While Crocodile was caught off guard by the punch, Luffy quickly stained the blood from the wound on his fists, and then rushed up again to fight with Crocodile.
The sounds of impact "dong dong dong" rang out one after another, but without the second gear, Luffy's speed and strength dropped significantly in an instant.
Soon, Luffy was caught by him again and his right arm was grabbed.
Crocodile laughed grimly as his tall body held Luffy in the air.
"With such strength, kid, then you should stay here!"
"Desert Prison!"
Suddenly, Luffy felt that his strength was being sucked away, the lack of oxygen in his brain became more and more serious, his vision began to become unfocused, and Luffy felt completely powerless.
The left hand continued to hammer Crocodile desperately, but after two or three hits, it would not lift up again.
Looking at Luffy who looked like a mummy, Crocodile grinned grimly, and the desert under his feet began to surge and turned into a vortex of quicksand.
"Goodbye, arrogant brat!"
Crocodile showed no mercy and threw Luffy into the quicksand, then left the battlefield laughing.
The light became dimmer and dimmer, his spirit became slower and slower, his limbs became weaker and gradually colder, and Luffy could only feel his heart beating slower and slower, and the surrounding sea of sand was constantly squeezing his body.
Am I going to...die...?
The light disappeared completely, and Luffy's consciousness fell into a coma.
No! I can't die! I haven't become the Pirate King yet!
There are so many friends waiting for me!
There is still so much meat, and I haven’t even eaten the Fishman Island seafood buffet that Yun Yi promised me!
"I must not die!!" The strong desire to survive made Luffy regain consciousness, and his head struggled out of the sand pit.
Luffy took two deep breaths and struggled to get out, but then he found that he was like a hollowed-out doll, without any strength at all.
"Huh? Huh?"
He struggled hard a few more times, but his body remained unmoved. In fact, because of his struggle, the sand on the edge of the sand pit fell down into the sand pit again.
"..."
“Is there anyone here!!!”
"Water! I want to drink water!! I want to eat meat!!!"
Luffy's roar spread throughout the area, but in this vast yet desolate desert, no one responded to him.
The sun gradually set in the sky, and the bright moon rose. Fortunately, because he was buried in the sand pit, he could not feel too much cold.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
But at this moment, a slender figure slowly came to the edge of the sand pit.
Then, seven or eight big hands grew out of Luffy's body.
"Eh??"
The next second, these big hands worked together to drag Luffy out of the sand pit.
"Your name is Monkey D. Luffy, right?"
"Ah! It's you!" Luffy groaned while lying in the desert, "Is there any water?"
Robin silently threw the water bottle behind him and the lunch box in his bag to Luffy. He didn't continue chatting, but just turned and left.
The delicious smell coming out of the lunch box immediately gave Luffy motivation. He got up from the ground with a smile and started eating the lunch box in big mouthfuls.
In addition, he did not forget to wave and thank Robin in the direction he left: "Thank you, you are such a good person!!!"
I just don’t know if the other party heard this!
