With a white beard, Luo Luo had no scruples about facing Bill Salino!
He immediately charged towards the execution platform!
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Sarkas-ji's face twisted in rage, his arm turning into rolling magma! He was about to unleash a fiery blast towards Luo Luo!
"Who are you looking down on?!"
Crocodile's voice echoed in Sarkas-ji's ear.
He was clearly fighting him, yet this guy was actually going to attack someone else!
How much did he look down on his current opponent?!
A normal person would absolutely not tolerate such "disregard"!!!
Much less a person as arrogant as Crocodile...?!
"Desert Rose! Desert Devouring Flower!"
Crocodile pressed his hand on the ground with one hand, and massive amounts of yellow sand instantly erupted from the earth!!!
Like countless fountains suddenly gushing from the ground, they formed rolling rivers of sand.
Eight sand heads burst from the ground, forming eight long desert spears, which instantly impaled Sarkas-ji's body from all directions.
"Scram!!!"
Having his original attack plan interrupted by Crocodile, Sarkas-ji was utterly furious!!!
Magma surged and rolled over his body, condensing into sturdy magma armor!!!
When Crocodile's eight desert spears struck Sarkas-ji's body, they were instantly shattered as if they had hit solid steel!
"You fool! Do you think that just because you received a broken reward from the Spectating System, you can contend with me? My magma is nothing your broken garbage can compare to!!!"
With an enraged low roar, Sarkas-ji was suddenly enveloped in surging magma!!!
His body rapidly grew and transformed!
Behind him...
A magma tail abruptly extended!!!
Following closely were the second, third, and fourth tails!!!
When all four magma tails fully appeared, Sarkas-ji's form had already transformed into a fiery red monkey!
Why was Sarkas-ji so supremely confident after receiving the system's reward?!
It was because when he obtained the magma reward from the Spectating System, he also gained the power of the Four-Tailed Son Goku bound to the magma!!!
Just a brief understanding of him would reveal how powerful Sarkas-ji's Tailed Beast power was!
As an ambitious idealist with "absolute justice," after gaining the support of such immense power, he would only become even more resolute in his beliefs!!!
Sarkas-ji clasped his hands together, then fiercely pulled them apart to both sides.
A thick, gigantic column of rolling magma was pulled out by him!!!
"Magma: Golden Staff!!!"
Sarkas-ji lifted the Golden Staff with both hands, then jumped high into the air, soaring halfway up!
"Witness the power of another world!!!"
Sarkas-ji swung the Golden Staff down with all his might towards Crocodile!!!
In his eyes, this strike would undoubtedly shatter Crocodile to pieces!
"The aura of a Tailed Beast..."
Looking up at Sarkas-ji descending from the sky, Crocodile softly muttered.
Immediately after, his body furiously gushed yellow sand!!!
His form also continuously grew and changed!!!
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a fox covered in mysterious patterns!!!
"The power of a Tailed Beast, huh? As if anyone doesn't have it!"
Crocodile sneered. Countless yellow sands instantly converged from all directions, condensing around his body to form a large yellow sand shell!!!
"Let me use my sturdiest shield to test the power of your staff!"
"Shukaku: Absolute Defense!!!"
Crocodile met Sarkas-ji's gaze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
When he received the Spectating System's reward, he also gained the power of the One-Tailed Shukaku bound to it!!!
Although there was a difference in actual strength between Tailed Beasts, this difference wouldn't be too exaggerated.
In fact, the One-Tailed Shukaku, known for its defense, although its attack ability was relatively weak, its defensive power was absolutely formidable!
Seeing the Tailed Beast aura on Crocodile's body, Sarkas-ji immediately understood that Crocodile's current form was also a complete Tailed Beast transformation!!!
He was startled at first, but then scoffed.
Since the magma reward could bind a Tailed Beast's power, why couldn't Crocodile's broken garbage also bind a Tailed Beast's power...?!!
"Hmph! The power of a mere One-Tail dares to show off in front of a Four-Tail?! Who gave you such confidence!!!"
With a cold snort, the Magma Golden Staff in Sarkas-ji's hand suddenly crashed down!
Boom!!!
When the Golden Staff struck the Absolute Defense's sand shell, a terrifying, earth-shattering roar instantly echoed throughout the entire Marine Headquarters!
The ground of Marinford shook violently!!!
The windows of all buildings in the small town owned by the Marine family above Marinford were brutally shattered at this moment!!!
Sabaody Archipelago~
Rumble rumble~
Even from a relatively far distance, the terrifying roar instantly echoed across the Sabaody Archipelago!
It was as if someone had simultaneously detonated millions of cannonballs on the sea surface not far away!
It was shocking and made people tremble!!!
"Oh my god!!! What's wrong with Admiral Akainu and Crocodile?! Why did one turn into a monkey and the other into a fat cat???"
"Too terrifying!!! This should be related to the rewards they received from the Spectating System, right...?!"
"Just a single clash, and the sound of the impact directly crossed such a vast expanse of sea, reaching here!!!"
"Quick, the live broadcast screen of Bubble Top is gone. Eight out of ten, it was burned out by that strike just now~"
"Fortunately, we have the Spectating System, otherwise we wouldn't have seen anything!"
"Too terrifying!!! Is this the battle of powerhouses after receiving rewards?! I feel like if I were there, I'd instantly turn into ashes!!"
"Haha! Be confident, bro! Remove the words 'too terrifying'~"
...
Marine Headquarters, Marinford~
After a powerful clash, the ground where Crocodile stood instantly cracked open, and his body plummeted several meters deep!!!
Around his body, the absolute defense formed by yellow sand was completely shattered by Sarkas-ji's powerful strike!!!
0... request for fresh flowers...
...
However, it still managed to protect Crocodile perfectly...
Of course, Crocodile may have been completely fine after Sarkas-ji's strike, but the ground couldn't block it...
So, under Sarkas-ji's strike, he was directly slammed beneath the earth's surface~
"Idiot!"
Seeing Crocodile disappear from his sight, Sarkas-ji was about to attack Luo Luo.
But at this moment, on the spot where Crocodile had disappeared, the original crushed rocks and debris all turned into sand!!!
Rolling yellow sand gushed out from the ground, instantly condensing into a new fox shape!!!
"Damn it!!! The ground quality of Marine Headquarters is too bad, it made me go straight underground!!!"
Crocodile, still maintaining his complete Tailed Beast transformation, brushed off the dust from his body and said with some displeasure.
"Bastard!!! You really are endless!!!"
Seeing Sarkas-ji, still radiating an unyielding aura, pursuing him, Sarkas-ji also became angry!
...
"You need to work harder!!! You were only a little bit away from breaking my defense~"
Crocodile calmly and slowly took a puff of his cigar, his expression perfectly conveying his mood as he looked at Sarkas-ji. "Now... it's my turn to attack!!!"
Saying that, Crocodile, in his Shukaku form, suddenly opened his mouth, and a large amount of Chakra energy burst forth from his mouth!
This Yin-attribute Chakra energy rapidly condensed and fused at a ratio of 2:8...!!!
In the blink of an eye, a purple energy ball was formed.
"Bastard!!! You're causing trouble here!!!"
Suddenly seeing Crocodile conjure such a Tailed Beast Ball, Sarkas-ji was simply furious!!!
This was the Marine Headquarters after all!!!
If this Tailed Beast Ball exploded, the Marine Headquarters would be greatly affected!
However, from his perspective, since Crocodile had released a Tailed Beast Ball, he could only respond with an equivalent attack.
Otherwise, he would suffer a huge loss!
"Damn bastard!!! I'll kill you!!!"
Sarkas-ji roared in anger, then also opened his mouth.
A purple Tailed Beast Ball instantly condensed!
"What's with the pretense of caring for your comrades? If you've got guts, don't condense a Tailed Beast Ball, just take a hit from me~"
With an unyielding taunt, Crocodile spit forward.
The terrifying Tailed Beast Ball immediately charged towards Sarkas-ji!!!
"Damn it!"
Sarkas-ji did consider the potential damage to the Marine Headquarters, but he didn't consider it too much...
Compared to that, his own safety was the most important thing!!!
"Go!!!"
He also spat forward, and his Tailed Beast Ball collided with Crocodile's Tailed Beast Ball!!!
Next second...
Rumble rumble~~
A purple mushroom cloud soared into the heavens...!!!
