Chapter 391: Heart-wrenching and heart-breaking
The remaining range of sand and dust cannot bring much sense of security to Crocodile. He needs to replenish the range of the sand and dust field, but now he is still facing a huge problem. With his right leg and left arm seriously injured, his physical strength may not be able to sustain using large-range moves so frequently.
More importantly, he needed to get rid of the little girl who could blow away the dust, otherwise it would be useless no matter how many sandstorms he created.
"Heavyweight Sand Storm!" Crocodile raised his hand and threw a huge sand storm to try to contain the people on the ground. Seeing the moment when Wendy was about to blow the wind, he turned half of his body into sand and rushed towards Wendy in the air from bottom to top, "Vajra Desert Sword!"
Xia Lulu hurriedly took Wendy to hide. At the same time, two golden slashes flew out from the sand and dust. One split the desert sword, and the other forced Crocodile to split open on his own, temporarily suspending his pursuit of Wendy.
" Sister ?" Wendy knew Altria was very powerful. She could tell where the enemy was even with her eyes closed. She shouted, "Xia Lulu, let's go!"
"Ah?" Xia Lulu was puzzled. Didn't you say you were here to provide assistance to everyone? Didn't you use up all your support magic? The dust that was in the way was also blown away, so why did you suddenly have to go up again?
Wendy said, "Because I want to help a little more. The most difficult thing about this enemy is that it is difficult to capture the entity. As long as we can defeat him, we will win, right?"
"I really can't do anything about you." Xia Lulu adjusted her flying posture and said, "Just do as you wish."
"Yes!" Wendy nodded. "Then, let's raise it a little higher."
"Okay!" Xia Lulu flew upwards for a distance as Wendy requested.
Wendy tilted her head back slightly and opened her mouth, taking in big gulps of air. Then she spread her arms, and a large amount of wind began to gather around Crocodile, forming a wind barrier.
"Is this... a wall? Wind?" Crocodile looked around and found himself surrounded by a hurricane. He raised his hand and used a desert sword move, but it was shattered by the wind barrier.
"The secret of dragon slaying: shining through and piercing the sky!" Wendy put her left arm in front of her and her right arm behind her, and swung both hands half a circle at the same time. As her right palm pointed diagonally downward, a powerful compressed whirlwind burst out like a qigong wave.
The wind barrier in front of Crocodile had just disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he was hit in the face by a column of wind.
"Puff~ cough..." Crocodile spat out a mouthful of blood, and was pressed down by the wind column and fell heavily, creating a big hole in the desert.
Even a little girl is so strong, what kind of team is this? A tour group? Bah, this is a lie!
Crocodile felt as if all the bones in his body were broken into pieces. Although he was sand and could scatter at any time, it wouldn't be so painful if he did it actively, right?
Crocodile lay down on the sand for a while because he was exhausted. But at this moment, a cute cat appeared in his sight and looked at his face. Then four ducks looked at him in a similar way.
Five cute little animals surrounded his head in a semicircle. It might be a very heartwarming scene to others, but it was very upsetting to Crocodile. He just wanted to catch these guys and feed them to his pet crocodile.
Seeing his expression change, the running ducks quickly hid behind Tom and continued to stick their heads out. The clever running ducks had already realized that Big Tom was different from others, with a big thick leg that could be hugged tightly.
Tom lived up to everyone's expectations and pulled out a golf club to protect the four running ducks, while keeping an eye on Crocodile's head.
Crocodile ignored him, figuring that the others were about to catch up, and prepared to stand up. He saw Tom swinging the golf club out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't care. Stupid cat, you thought my natural elementalization was fake...ah?
“Ahhhhh!” Crocodile felt a sharp pain on the side of his face, and his head flew out all of a sudden. When he flew two meters away, his body was pulled over by his head as if with a delay. “What’s going on?”
Is that cat domineering? Or is that golf club made of seastone? Crocodile suddenly felt that this world was so strange.
The four running ducks looked at Crocodile flying away, quacking and clapping their wings.
Crocodile was hit hard by this club, and he was in a headache. Seeing himself flying straight towards the Burning Mountain, Crocodile barely controlled his body and launched an attack. What's more, the speed of being hit was much faster than his own stabbing speed: "Desert Spear!"
Although Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan was puzzled about the strange marks on Crocodile's face, he did not think it was Tom. He thought that he was injured by Wendy, and flew towards him as soon as he stood up.
This made Huoshaoshan, a good-tempered man, a little unhappy. It seemed that if he didn't show some skills, he would be underestimated by Crocodile. He held the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other: "Itto-ryu Iai: Yanxia!"
Crocodile's eyes blurred and he saw only the shadow of the knife, which was as elusive as smoke and as beautiful as the glow of the sunset. In the blink of an eye, he had passed by the Burning Mountain.
When he came to his senses, the sand gun that his right hand had turned into had broken into pieces, and a knife wound on his right arm ran from the arm to the shoulder, almost splitting his right arm in half.
Huoshaoshan carefully felt the sword he had just used. This move was more refreshing than ever before. He felt his body was extremely light and his moves were very easy. He couldn't help but look at Wendy in the air. He had to find a way to lure this kid to the Navy Headquarters... maybe try using a lollipop later?
Huoshaoshan is thinking about what will happen after the war, but Crocodile's suffering is not over yet.
"Ah!" Rui Mengmeng was originally following closely behind Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, but now the tall figure suddenly disappeared, and a big face with a horizontal wound appeared in front of her. Rui Mengmeng subconsciously slashed out with a sword.
The sword with dark energy hit Crocodile's chest, breaking almost all his ribs.
Crocodile fell to the ground powerlessly, his face, arms and body covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.
"Uh..." Rui Mengmeng put away her sword belatedly and said awkwardly, "Did I go too far?"
Zhang Da also looked at Crocodile's condition and thought that he was not cruel enough.
Behind, Ye Yan rumbled over riding a pale yellow giant beast, with a Perona floating beside him.
"Ah? Is it over?" Perona saw Crocodile lying on the ground and complained, "Why did you run so far? You couldn't even help."
"It's a good thing that it's been solved. We can go back quickly. I can't wait to see the shemale you caught." Ye Yan heard Perona talking about Mr. 2 on the way and was very interested in the strange creature.
Perhaps it was because Ye Yan rescued the king right under Crocodile's nose and mocked him halfway, so his hatred value was slightly high. When Crocodile heard his voice, he suddenly sat up in shock, and with strength from nowhere, he rushed towards Ye Yan and said bitterly: "At least I have to get rid of you!"
A small ghost pierced through Crocodile's chest, but it was unclear whether it had any effect, because immediately afterwards the three long swords of Zhang Daye, Altria and Rui Mengmeng pierced through his body.
Ye Yan held the Soul-Calming Gong in one hand and the Soul-Calming Hammer in the other, and stopped abruptly striking the gong: "Fortunately, I didn't strike it down."
If you knock it down, you will be pitting your teammates again.
"..." Huoshaoshan raised a hand, but didn't have time to stop him. In principle, he should have captured him alive and brought him back, but since he was trying to protect his companions, this seemed reasonable, right?
Huoshaoshan took a puff of his cigar in silence, feeling that he was in big trouble.
By the way, can Wendy's healing ability be used to save her? Huoshaoshan immediately ran over to ask.
Wendy lowered her head, looking aggrieved: "I'm sorry..."
"Ah, it's okay, it's not your fault. It's normal to have no way to deal with that kind of injury..." Huoshaoshan was busy comforting him. People like Crocodile, let them die. It was a good thing for him to die like this.
He thought Wendy was incurable. In fact, although there was no way to regenerate the broken limbs, it was still possible to save her life. Wendy apologized because she didn't have enough magic power and didn't want to save her. After all, she was an enemy and an irredeemable villain. He wanted to kill Weiwei and her father before, and just now he wanted to kill Ye Yan.
Even so, Wendy lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and dared not look at the fire on the mountain.
Huoshaoshan suddenly felt that he had committed a grave sin for forcing a child like this.
"Ah...ah..." Crocodile gasped with difficulty, "Is this the end...?"
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to die. I want to ask you about someone." Zhang Da also said quickly, "Do you remember a guy named Biznis who gave your Baroque Workshop a mission to kill us and capture Tom? Do you know where that guy went?"
Zhang Daye's questioning voice startled Crocodile, who was about to enter the revolving lantern segment. Catching a cat? Crocodile seemed to remember that there was such a thing. He remembered that after Mr. 3 and his friends were caught, he asked Mr. 1 to get rid of them, right?
And Mr. 1 was chopped by Hawkeye after he came back from completing the mission...
Nothing good seems to have happened since I got involved with this guy... Wait, Crocodile widened his eyes. Could it be that these people ran out from the Sabaody Archipelago and came to Alabasta just to find this guy?
“Ha…hahahaha…” Crocodile laughed hoarsely. As he laughed, he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and continued laughing. “If you want to find it, go find it yourself! My life is really a joke… What a…”
"..." Looking at Crocodile, who was completely out of breath, Zhang Da was silent. What happened to the saying that a dying man should speak kindly? How come everyone in this crappy organization, from the boss to the employees, is the same? They have to take the answer to the grave, right?
Zhang Da also gritted his teeth, wishing he could ask Wendy to use the Galaxy to summon a soul, and tell him that the Pluto he had been looking for for so long was right under Kaido's nose.
But I gave up in the end. This guy didn't want to say anything before he died, and he might not say anything after he died.
If the world government were to reveal magic like Ginga's, which can dig out secrets of the past through corpses, they would have no peace, as this is a strategic-level ability.
If we can pull out Crocodile's soul for questioning today, can we pull out the souls of those scholars in O'Hara tomorrow? Can we pull out the citizens of the "huge kingdom" that the world government is trying so hard to hide the day after tomorrow for questioning?
When I was in the small garden, I showed it casually just to experiment with my abilities and satisfy my curiosity, which was a bit inconsiderate. Now I can’t use it in front of the burning mountain. At least I have to hide it well until I am sure I can overturn the World Government.
It’s just a biznis, just take your time to check it out.
Zhang Da, holding his breath, muttered to Crocodile's body: "Rest in peace, Old Sand. When the Pirate King Roger died, he only had two knives stabbed in his body. You have three swords stabbed in your body at once, and they are all world-class swords. You are much better than Roger. Of course, the quality of the sword in my hand is worse than theirs. If you feel wronged, how about I let Qiu Shui stab you again? Mu Ku and Ying Ju can also..."
Huoshaoshan grabbed Crocodile's body with a dark face and wrapped it up in his tattered coat. How big of a grudge do you have against him that you won't let him go even after he's dead? Even if he's still alive now, he'll be pissed off to death by you, right?
"Plu, plu, plu..." Zhang Daye's Den Den Mushi rang.
"Tatsuya, this is Jackie Chan. How's things going over there?" Jackie Chan's tone was a little hurried .
Zhang Da also replied: "It's solved, I'll go back right away. What happened?"
"It's the king. He's been poisoned. The doctor is working hard to prepare an antidote, but the king has many other injuries and is in a dangerous situation." Jackie Chan said, "If possible, can Wendy come back soon? Although Weiwei looks very calm, but..."
"I know." Zhang Da also shouted immediately, "Run, Duck Troops!"
"Quack!" *5
The four running ducks immediately gathered together, stood at attention and saluted, with Tom also mixed in.
"Wendy!" Zhang Da also grabbed Tom and rode on the Running Duck, signaling Wendy to choose one and follow.
"Okay!" Wendy carried Xia Lulu and rode on a running duck. She had to save her magic power in order to rescue people later. Xia Lulu had been flying at high speed for such a long time, and if she used flying magic again, she might not be able to hold on until she could get back to the palace.
"You guys should just go ahead and leave the other two sprinters alone. They've covered quite a distance today, so we can take turns if they run out of energy." Altria suggested, "We can just walk back slowly."
Altria knew that Zhang Da also mastered healing magic. Although he was not as good as Wendy, he could still help. Besides, he also had the "artifact" Tom, so it would be useless for others to follow him back.
"Okay, let's go." Zhang Da didn't say any more and urged the running ducks to start their journey.
Huoshaoshan took a puff of his cigar. The leader of the tour group left. Should we take this opportunity to recruit these people? Although Wendy is not here, these are also rare talents.
"A-choo~" Zhang Da, who ran away, also sneezed. Who is plotting against me?
