Thinking of this, Raynor checked the progress of making the Aquarius Star Spirit Key.
Unexpectedly, it was only sixty percent complete. It would take at least ten more minutes to reach one hundred percent.
This was going to be difficult.
Thinking, Raynor looked up at Crocodile, a sly look in his eyes.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not here to get beaten up this time. I came prepared.
Hearing this, Crocodile looked serious. He was very careful with Raynor.
He had seen Raynor's wanted poster last night. Although the bounty on the poster was ten million Berries,
it didn't have his name on it. This meant that even the World Government's largest archive couldn't find information about this person.
Considering the World Government's current ability to control the world, everyone born on this planet, even those in savage tribes, would be registered.
Even the once powerful Roger and Whitebeard could have their birth records or life records found.
But this kid in front of him, even with a wanted poster, couldn't be found.
He didn't believe that someone like this was only worth ten million Berries. Clearly, the World Government was trying to hide something.
But even so, how could a kid of seventeen or eighteen be a match for him, a Warlord of the Sea?
Thinking of this, Crocodile turned into his element form and quickly attacked Raynor.
But just then, Raynor's hand suddenly covered with a layer of powerful energy. Just as Crocodile got in front of him,
Raynor suddenly grabbed Crocodile in his element form, and with a back throw, slammed him hard on the ground.
Crocodile spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Raynor in disbelief.
At this moment, Raynor covered his hands with more energy and punched Crocodile's stomach repeatedly.
Crocodile spurted blood, but then suddenly countless arms grew out of Raynor's two arms.
These arms twisted Raynor's hands backward, giving Crocodile a chance to breathe. He quickly turned into his element form and returned to Nico Robin's side.
At this time, Raynor covered his entire body with that energy.
Nico Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit was completely useless against Raynor.
Seeing this, Crocodile looked at Raynor, who was covered in energy, with fear.
Pointing at Raynor, he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Raynor looked at the energy bar above his head, which was steadily decreasing. Raynor's energy time could now reach fifty seconds.
He used ten seconds to deal with those people, so he still had forty seconds.
Although he knew that he couldn't defeat Crocodile in these forty seconds,
he could definitely make Crocodile pay a price.
Crocodile gasped for breath and pointed directly at Raynor, saying:
"How could you have Haki? Who exactly are you?"
Hearing this, a serious look appeared in Raynor's eyes. He took off the black hat on his head and placed it over his chest.
"My name is Raynor, a member of the Straw Hat crew."
This easy introduction made Crocodile even angrier, and his body began to disintegrate again.
But with Raynor's armor of energy,
Crocodile's transformation into his element form had no effect at all.
Then, Raynor punched Crocodile in the stomach.
Crocodile's body immediately solidified, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing into a stone statue in the ruins, almost losing consciousness.
After a few seconds, Crocodile finally recovered, as if greatly stimulated, and laughed loudly at the sky.
"Not bad, not bad at all. Those two punches reminded me of the weak person I used to be."
"After becoming stronger, I forgot the embarrassment of when I was weak."
As soon as he finished speaking, Crocodile instantly stood up from the ground. He stopped using his element form and attacked Raynor hand-to-hand.
Seeing this, Raynor didn't take it seriously. Even his element form wasn't a match for him, so hand-to-hand combat was even less of a worry.
The weakness of most Logia-type Devil Fruit users is that their physical skills are not good.
Thinking of this, Raynor clenched his fists, ready to greet Crocodile's arrival.
When Crocodile got in front of him, Raynor suddenly threw a punch at Crocodile.
But the next second, Crocodile's body suddenly disappeared in front of Raynor.
Raynor frowned. Was this his element form? But why didn't his observation sense pick it up?
As Raynor was thinking, Crocodile suddenly appeared at his side and punched Raynor's right cheek.
Raynor flew out, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Raynor just started to get up, but the next second, Crocodile suddenly appeared behind him, his golden hook reaching for his back.
If he was hit, even with the protection of his energy, he would still be pierced.
He didn't expect Crocodile, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, to be so strong in physical combat.
No, this shouldn't just be physical combat, it should be a combination of physical combat and Devil Fruit abilities.
It looks like this is going to be troublesome.
His energy bar only had three seconds left.
If he couldn't defeat Crocodile within three moves, he would be in a passive situation.
Thinking of this, Raynor activated both his energy and his observation sense, locking onto Crocodile's location.
At this moment, Crocodile suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Raynor, who had already predicted this with his observation sense, thought to himself in his mind.
"System, extract the Ox Talisman."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hexagonal stone appeared in Raynor's hand.
The muscles on his arm suddenly grew thicker.
Before Crocodile's attack could land, Raynor punched Crocodile in the chest.
Crocodile was forced into his element form, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.
He smashed a big hole in the hard ground.
But at the same time, his energy bar was about to run out. Next up, it would be pure physical combat.
He hoped that Crocodile wouldn't get up again, otherwise he would really be at a disadvantage.
Seeming to sense that something was wrong with Raynor, Nico Robin activated her Flower-Flower Fruit ability again.
Instantly, Raynor's body was covered in hands.
Seeing this, Nico Robin gave a slight smile and said:
"So, your energy isn't permanent."
Saying this, Nico Robin bent Raynor's body, wanting to give Raynor a fatal strike.
But with the Ox Talisman, Raynor wasn't afraid of anyone in terms of strength.
