Chapter 131

Blackbeard presses both hands to the ground suddenly.

Rolling black water actually wraps around the ground like a curtain.

Crocodile’s expression changes slightly.

"What is this?"

"This is the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit I obtained after killing Thatch!"

Blackbeard laughs:

"Taste its power, Sand Crocodile!"

123. The Fear of Blackbeard and the Sand Crocodile, the Fame of the Beasts Pirates!

The Blackbeard Pirates and Baroque Works start a team battle.

Because Baroque Works has more people, Blackbeard can't be as unsportsmanlike as he was when ganging up on Fire Fist Ace this time.

But although the Blackbeard Pirates only have five people, the strength of each member is not bad.

By comparison,

most of the officers of Baroque Works, except for Mr. 1 Daz Bonez and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, are only at the level of cannon fodder, and very few know Haki.

The expression on the Sand Crocodile, Crocodile’s face, gradually turns from initial contempt to solemnity, and finally into a gloomy cloud.

He underestimated Blackbeard’s strength.

And even more underestimated the weirdness of the Dark-Dark Fruit!

The power of darkness actually makes his Sand-Sand Fruit unable to elementalize!

This makes Crocodile, who is not very good at physical techniques and is used to using elementalization to avoid attacks, extremely uncomfortable.

In just a few rounds of fighting, he has already been hit by Blackbeard’s two heavy blows, coughing up blood, and suffering not-so-light injuries.

If it weren't for the Monster Cell he ate before, which enhanced his physique and speed, he might have even been killed by Blackbeard just now!

Such a situation makes the high-ranking officers of Baroque Works feel incredible and terrified!

Their superior, the terrifying President, is actually at a disadvantage?

There is a risk of defeat!

The opponent is not the world’s strongest man, Whitebeard!

Nico Robin, who finally rushed over from the palace, is also extremely shocked.

However, compared to the other high-ranking officers, she is calmer.

After all, since she escaped from Ohara at the age of eight, she has experienced countless accidents and dangers.

Nico Robin’s eyes roll; she has no intention of joining the battlefield, but instead quietly retreats.

Crocodile might be defeated, and that black guy is not a good person.

But perhaps this is also her opportunity to escape Crocodile’s control.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she can take Cobra away, and she can go find the Poneglyph alone!

However.

Robin fails to retreat successfully; Blackbeard has already noticed her.

"You must be the Child of the Devil, Nico Robin, Zehahahaha, I didn't expect you to be hiding here with the Sand Crocodile; no wonder the World Government couldn't find you after searching everywhere!"

A greedy light appears in Blackbeard’s eyes.

"The Sand Crocodile is about to be finished, Nico Robin, why don't you join my team; I guarantee I will protect you just like the Sand Crocodile!"

Robin is the only person in the sea who knows the Poneglyph, besides the Kozuki clan of Wano Country.

Therefore,

big shots including the Four Emperors all want to control Robin in their own hands.

"Desert Spada!"

A huge sandstorm suddenly rises out of thin air.

Whether it’s the members of the Blackbeard Pirates or the officers of Baroque Works, they are all thrown away by this sudden sandstorm.

Several buildings not far away are blown down by the strong wind.

Thump thump thump~

Blackbeard himself rolls on the ground several times before stopping his figure.

"Sand Crocodile, you bastard!"

Blackbeard wipes the blood on his head and looks at Crocodile with an ugly face.

Who else could it be but Crocodile who could send out such a huge sandstorm?

Crocodile says chillingly:

"Blackbeard, you don't take me seriously at all!"

"Want to replace my position as a Warlord of the Sea? Want to take Nico Robin away?"

"You black turtle, you really dare to have such daydreams!"

Although the Sand Crocodile suffered a big loss in the battle with Blackbeard just now because he was not familiar with the Dark-Dark Fruit’s ability,

he has the talent to be evenly matched with anyone, a talent that should have awakened during the Summit War.

However, because he ate Luo Xing’s Monster Cell, the Sand Crocodile obtained this ability in advance, and can fight anyone for a few rounds.

With the advantage in the number of subordinates, it won't be so easy for Blackbeard to take him, Crocodile, down.

Having said this much, it is clear that both sides are going to get serious next.

The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit; this is the eternal rule of this sea!

However.

Just when Blackbeard and Crocodile are about to fight again,

behind the few buildings destroyed by the sandstorm, two sturdy and magnificent figures appear.

Seeing that there is no cover, the two don't hide anymore and walk out directly.

One of them, a sturdy figure over ten meters tall with two long tusks extending from the back of his head, walks directly to the center of the palace, looks down at Blackbeard and Crocodile, and says disdainfully:

"You two, come together. Before the Young Master arrives, I’ll take care of you both!"

"Hey hey hey, Jack, you can't steal the credit like this! You have to leave at least some for me!"

The other figure also walks over, nearly ten meters tall, with a pair of scarlet wings on his back.

As soon as these two appear, a fierce and wild aura permeates the entire palace.

It seems as if these two are terrifying ancient beasts!

And after seeing their appearances clearly,

Crocodile, Blackbeard, and their respective subordinates all subconsciously gasp.

Blackbeard widens his eyes and says in disbelief:

"Beasts Pirates, All-Star Jack the Drought, Tobi Roppo Who's-Who, how could you appear here?"

"Could it be that you have been following behind me all along?"

The current Beasts Pirates are too famous in the sea and are hailed as the strongest Four Emperor pirate group.

Except for Luo Xing, the photos of the well-known powerhouses of the Beasts Pirates have long spread throughout the four seas, and can be said to be known by everyone.

Blackbeard and Crocodile, these two ambitious people, both have delusions of dominating the world, so how could they not pay extra attention to the increasingly powerful Beasts Pirates?

Nico Robin is also scared pale.

She is a bit panicked; why would the Beasts Pirates appear here?

Are they also here for the Poneglyph and the Ancient Weapon Pluton?

The appearance of Jack and Who's-Who makes the palace, which was originally fighting fiercely, suddenly become dead silent.

Everyone’s face shows more or less shock and horror.

Even the arrogant Crocodile and Blackbeard are the same.

Who's-Who looks at Blackbeard and laughs:

"It seems you aren't stupid. In the desert, we intended to kill you, but the Young Master said you still have utility value, so forget it, let you live for a while longer."

Who's-Who’s words make Blackbeard even more terrified.

They wanted to kill him in the desert?

When did that happen, and why didn't he notice at all?

Burgess, Laffitte, and the others feel their hair stand on end.

They had actually brushed shoulders with death before, but they knew nothing about it!

It seems they have indeed been too arrogant during this period, relaxing their vigilance, so they didn't notice the approach of danger in time.
