Chapter 105 The Mysterious Kuroro
Bonney and Robin have moved from inside the palace to the outside to watch the battle.
The battle was so widespread that getting too close could be life-threatening.
Looking at this scene that resembled a natural disaster, both of them put away their joking mood and their expressions became serious.
"Who do you think will win?" Robin asked with a serious expression.
"Who knows?" Bonnie shrugged.
If Kuroro goes all out, he will definitely win.
But now, in order to develop Haki by fighting against strong opponents, he not only didn't lend her the Year-Year Fruit, but he also didn't lend Nobunaga's Float-Float Fruit.
Even though all the members of the Phantom Troupe were no longer around, he was unable to borrow their abilities.
Bonney didn't know the exact level at which Chrollo, in his normal state, could compete with a Shichibukai-level powerhouse.
Although the outcome is uncertain, but...
"Kuroro definitely won't lose~" Bonney waved her hand. With so many strange and wonderful abilities, he has a lot of ways to protect himself. If it weren't for Kizaru threatening her that time, even the Marine Admirals couldn't stop him, let alone the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Oh?" Robin turned her head and looked at her curiously. "It seems you have a lot of confidence in your captain."
"It's not a matter of faith; you have no idea how terrifying that guy is."
Bonney recalled the terror of being dominated by Kuroro: "You know what? He had an entire floor of prisoners on his ship, and he insisted on calling them precious collectibles!"
"Furthermore, his personality is unpredictable and gloomy. One second he's all smiles, and the next he's suddenly turning hostile! You never know what you did to upset him!"
"Most importantly..." Bonnie whispered slyly in Robin's ear, "His eating habits are absolutely inhuman!"
"Several times, I caught him hiding in a corner, eating something that smelled like poop!"
As she spoke, Bonnie shivered with lingering fear.
"Hehehe—" Bonnie's description made Robin burst into laughter.
"Your partner is really interesting!"
"What's so interesting about that! Honestly! It's downright terrifying!"
"Wait..." Bonnie turned her head and looked at Robin's face with a suspicious expression.
"Why don't you look so upset when you hear your partner won't win?"
Robin looked puzzled, then smiled calmly. "Partners? You mean Crocodile? No, that guy doesn't have the concept of partners."
"My relationship with him was purely based on mutual benefit."
"As for companions... I don't have that kind of thing."
The sandstorm on the field grew stronger and stronger, and Crocodile practically turned the entire palace into his own desert garden.
Kuroro raised an eyebrow in surprise as he watched this scene.
"This is... Fruit awakening?"
Kuroro couldn't help but wonder, how exactly did Luffy win?
Crocodile's killing intent began to boil. "A mere ordinary pirate dares to ruin my plans? I'll show you... there's a despairing gap in power on this sea!"
"Desert Sword I"
Crocodile then formed a blade with his fingers and swung it towards Chrollo, causing the earth to groan in pain.
The ground in front of him was cleaved open by an incredibly sharp sand blade, tearing a crack that pointed directly at Chrollo!
At the critical moment, the [Thief's Ultimate] was revealed in front of him, and the Light and Heavy Fruit took effect.
Kuroro's body suddenly floated into the air, dodging the attack.
He looked down and saw a neat cut, hundreds of meters long, carved into the desert.
"This level of performance truly befits a Shichibukai!"
Kuroro's eyes widened, and a smirk appeared on his lips, revealing a hint of madness.
"But thankfully, I'm now at the level of a Shichibukai!"
Armament Haki covered his toes, and with a sudden shift in weight, Chrollo's body swooped down, flames flying from the friction between his toes and the air. Like a cannonball, he tore through the air with a terrifying whooshing sound, heading straight for Crocodile!
"Shoo-One"
In his haste, Crocodile could only erect a sand wall above his head, but Chrollo instantly kicked it apart, and Crocodile's body was slammed into the ground by the blow!
"boom-
—
A surge of air spread out, and then...
The sand within a 30-meter radius trembled, and a shocking deep pit instantly formed. Inside the pit, Crokdal coughed up blood, his expression one of astonishment!
Kuroro's lips curled up slightly; this scene was entirely within his expectations.
From the fact that Crocodile was able to fight Luffy to a standstill during the final melee in the original work, we can tell that Crocodile's physical skills were still not strong enough at this time, at least his speed was not fast enough, and he could not dodge Luffy's attacks!
At this point, all of Kuroro's attributes were above 75, which is a victory of numbers!
The wounded Crocodile turned into quicksand at Kuroko's feet and escaped, only to reassemble into human form a short distance away.
A clear shoe print was visible on his chest, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Crocodile's face was extremely gloomy as he stared intently at the man before him.
Something's not right...
Since the start of the battle, the opponent has used at least three different abilities.
The ability to fly up and down, the initial alternate dimension, and the ability to open doors at will!
If we say that the initial alternate dimensions and doors could be arguably categorized as a type of ability.
He clearly saw that ability to fly just now; it was definitely a completely new Devil Fruit ability, different from the space system!
This is simply impossible due to the incompatibility of the fruits!
And... that ability to fly gave Crocodile a vague sense of familiarity.
Why does this feel so much like the bittersweet feeling of "Ms. Valentine's Day"?!
Could it be...
Seeing Crocodile's gloomy expression, Chrollo's lips curled into a half-smile: "What... have you noticed?"
"There's even more to come!"
Crocodile looked down in surprise and saw a blue dye quietly appear on the shoe print on his chest.
Then he unconsciously began to feel sad. Although his face remained expressionless, tears of sorrow streamed down his face.
"This is... Ms. Golden Week's ability? Waaaaah!"
"When...? Waaaaah—"
'
Looking at Crocodile, a man of ruthless character, speaking to him with tears streaming down his face, Chrollo, pleased with his successful prank, grinned. "I already smeared dye on my feet before the attack~ How does it feel to cry, Mr. Crocodile?"
"Whoosh—"
A gust of sand swept past, scraping the dye off Crocodile's chest, and his expression returned to normal.
However, his gaze grew increasingly serious.
What happened...?
What's going on with this man in front of me?
Ms. Goldenweek's ability isn't a Devil Fruit! Why is it also in his possession?
Stealing? Stolen? Plundering?
What are the conditions for initiating it?
How long does it take for it to take effect?
Will his Devil Fruit power be taken away?
At this moment, in Crocodile's eyes, Chrollo was no longer an ordinary pirate who could be manipulated at will, but became incredibly mysterious.
