Dense cold sweat seeped from Crocodile's forehead. He knew that if he didn't say something soon, it would truly be over.
More than ten years of planning, and a glorious future, would all come to naught.
What awaited him would be a bleak, irrelevant prison life.
"I still have my strongest move unreleased… If it were in the desert, I would definitely not lose!"
Crocodile looked directly at Roland, his gaze firm and confident.
"Oh?"
Roland raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest sparking in his heart.
As a traveler, Roland wanted to enjoy different scenery along the way.
Crocodile's so-called strongest move was something Roland, as a transmigrator, didn't know about. It wouldn't hurt to see it.
"Then I'll grant your wish!"
Roland snapped his fingers.
"Whew~"
Crocodile let out a soft breath, knowing he had gambled correctly.
Young and reckless is a common flaw among young people, especially men like Roland, who are not old but possess terrifying strength.
They are very conceited about their own power, believing everything is under control, and this was his chance.
Just as Crocodile was thinking this.
A deep purple teleportation gate suddenly flashed past, taking his figure with it, disappearing from sight.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in an endless expanse of vast yellow sand.
"Here, you should be able to maximize your power, I hope you don't disappoint me!"
Roland said indifferently.
"Guhahaha, don't worry, I'll make you regret it!"
Crocodile's lips curled into a cruel smile.
The next second, his body suddenly shattered, merging with the desert.
"Hmm?"
Roland frowned slightly, wondering if Crocodile had taken the opportunity to escape.
Just then.
Boom!
The desert ground suddenly shook.
Immediately after.
Rumble!
The rumbling of vibrations spread everywhere.
The boundless desert ground seemed to come alive, like a turbulent sea.
In a sense, the desert is also an ocean, an ocean made of sand.
There are waves in the sea, and there are sand waves in the desert.
Crocodile, who had eaten the Logia Sand-Sand Fruit, merged with the entire desert at this moment.
He seemed to have transformed into the Desert Emperor, controlling everything in the desert.
The boundless yellow sand, driven by his ability, layered into waves.
From an initial one meter to ten meters, fifty meters, until finally…
The sand waves controlled by Crocodile surged against the wind, transforming into a terrifying desert tsunami reaching a hundred meters high.
Once it crashed down, it could easily bury a city.
"Gu~ha~ha~ha"
Crocodile's smug, joyful laughter came from within the desert waves.
At this moment, his inner confidence also soared and strengthened like this desert tsunami.
The boundless desert was his home ground, and in his home ground, he feared no one.
Even if his opponent was that monster who looked excessively young but possessed the ultimate Haki of the Supreme King.
"I really have to thank your overconfidence for giving me the chance to merge with the desert. In return, I can give you a chance to say your last words!"
Crocodile looked at Roland and Thor, an expression of certain victory on his face.
"Is this your trump card?"
Roland calmly looked at Crocodile, scratching his head.
"It feels a bit old-fashioned, nothing new!"
"What did you say?"
Seeing Roland's still carefree and relaxed demeanor, Crocodile's expression suddenly darkened.
"Roland~ Let me do it!"
Thor's vertical pupils flashed red, eager to try.
"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? To deal with this outwardly strong but inwardly weak guy, a pet is enough!"
Roland smiled slightly.
Immediately after.
He struck a standard baseball throwing pose.
"I choose you, Tanuki!"
With a whoosh, a sound was heard.
The black teapot in Roland's hand spun and flew out.
The next second.
The seal on the teapot was released.
The blue chakra light burst forth.
"Hehehe, this lord is finally free!"
A sharp, arrogant voice came from the teapot.
The black teapot swelled against the wind, and a yellowish-brown head pushed open the teapot lid.
