In the sand dunes that had been bombarded by the 'meteor falling from the sky', a huge roar that attracted everyone's attention once again sounded.
The yellow sand that had just fallen back to the ground from the sky was once again shaken high into the sky to form a large yellow sand curtain.
at the same time.
I saw a hazy blue light walking out slowly. Sure enough, it was the Sandaime Raikage with a long bloodied mouth on his chest, appearing in Crocodile's sight one step at a time.
Naturally, they were also watched silently by Uzuki Tengen and other sea ninjas who had returned to the top of the city at some unknown time, as well as Rasa and other Sunagakure village jonins who were one kilometer away.
this moment.
The vast sea of sand and the magnificent Loulan are the perfect stage and background.
They are spectators, the Sandaime Raikage is the protagonist, and the grinning Crocodile with a joking smile is full of villain temperament.
only.
The heads 'growing' in the sand in the distance, some are positioned in the lake, I don't know whether they are spectators or the background...
Wisps of wind and sand were blowing, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn and a bit tragic.
"Huh-huh-"
The Sandaime Raikage didn't care at all about the horrific wounds in front of him and the blood flowing on his body. A pair of tiger eyes full of evil energy stared at Crocodile's eyes.
His breathing was a little heavy and fast, and the lightning arrogance rising from his body was using high temperature to forcibly stop his bleeding.
"I don't care who you are!"
"Next, be prepared and accept this blow all over your body."
"Ah--"
The calm smile on Crocodile's face was still there, and he did not immediately answer the Sandaime Raikage.
First, he took out a new cigar from the inner pocket of his black justice coat, bit it, lit it with a lighter, put it back into his outer pocket, then held the cigar between his two fingers, took a deep breath, and spit it out.
"call----"
at once.
A gust of wind and sand blew by, sweeping away the white smoke he exhaled. Even the hem of Justice's coat began to move with the wind, and the cigar was held in his mouth again.
After doing all this, he responded with his magnetic voice.
"I'll give you three minutes."
"If it exceeds, I will end this battle."
The Sandaime Raikage was the first strong man Crocodile met in the ninja world. He was very happy to be a very courageous guy.
In comparison, if he is a coward, it will make him very unhappy.
So in a good mood, he was willing to give the Sandaime Raikage a chance to express himself.
But the moment he finished speaking, a bright blue lightning burst out in front of him, and then passed through his body in the blink of an eye.
A few seconds later, a furious roar reached Crocodile's ears.
"I, the Raikage, am the unparalleled, unique and strongest ninja in the world. There is nothing that this hell thrust can't penetrate!
"
behind.
The Sandaime Raikage raised his right hand with only one index finger extended, with a look of shock on his face. Even the full blow he used was dodged by the opponent.
wrong.
The other party's body did not make any dodge movements, and he indeed passed through the other party's body, but there was no tactile feedback.
"How long are you going to stand there stupidly? You don't have much time, the strongest Raikage~"
Crocodile slowly turned around and looked at the back of the Sandaime Raikage and reminded him.
However, he was actually surprised by the speed that the opponent just showed. Fortunately, he predicted the opponent's landing point in advance at the critical moment, and then used elementalization to actively separate his body.
The main reason is that he is still not sure whether this Thunder Chakra can touch his elementalized body.
This is also the reason why he is willing to give the Sandaime Raikage some time.
"Asshole, don't underestimate Raikage's power!"
The Sandaime Raikage heard the frivolity in Crocodile's tone, and the anger that was already ignited in his heart was like a bowl of gasoline poured on him, causing the Thunder Chakra on his body to suddenly become even higher.
【boom!】
There was a thunderous noise on the flat ground, and the sand he had just stood on exploded on the spot, and he himself turned into an incredibly fast lightning and rushed towards Crocodile again.
This time Crocodile did not dodge, nor did he use armed haki to strengthen his attack and defense. He relied on his left hand transformed into a sand hook to attack the Sandaime Raikage's index finger, which was condensed with a large amount of lightning.
【boom----】
Somewhat unexpectedly, yet somewhat naturally, the poisonous scorpion-like sand hook was easily penetrated by Ichigo's hand, and a large amount of lightning exploded into a ball of yellow sand that splashed in the air.
"The body turned into sand, but the blow just now didn't cause any harm to him?"
The Sandaime Raikage frowned and turned around to look at Crocodile's broken wrist, which was quickly recovering as the sand gathered, and his mood became even heavier.
"Is it a secret technique similar to the water transformation technique of the Ghost Lantern clan in Kirigakure Village, or is it the other party's blood inheritance limit..."
But there was one thing that he still couldn't figure out.
Regardless of whether the opponent's sand transformation technique is a secret technique or a blood inheritance limit, it is still essentially earth escape. Then why is my thunder escape chakra ineffective against it?
Cloud Hidden Village also has information and combat experience on the Water Transformation Technique.
He remembered that it clearly stated that Lei Dun had a strong restraint effect on the hydration technique, allowing the Ghost Lantern clan to lose control of their hydrated bodies under the stimulation of electric current.
the other side.
The smile on Crocodile's face became even brighter.
He risked his left hand being injured or even broken, and determined a very important piece of information, that is, the ninjutsu and chakra in this world cannot harm the elementalization of natural ability users.
certainly.
If it was water escape, it might still have some effect on him, but that's fucked up.
Why should my Shasha Fruit inexplicably have a weak point that can directly hit my own body with water?
unfair!
However, the Sandaime Raikage did not give up the battle just because he discovered that Crocodile had the ability to transform into sand. Instead, he continued to maintain his thunder escape armor and launch a fierce and super-fast offensive against the latter.
【Bang bang bang bang...】
The scene was like streaks of blue lightning, besieging Crocodile in the center from all directions, constantly exploding his body into balls of earth-yellow gravel.
It seems that the latter has fallen into the disadvantage of being passively beaten.
But both sides of the battle, as well as the spectators everywhere, knew that the Sandaime Raikage, who was helpless against the sand transformation ability, was the disadvantaged party.
But not necessarily.
A kilometer away, Luo Sha felt that this might turn into a war of attrition.
Judging from the current battle situation, although the unknown sand control expert is very powerful, his speed should not be as fast as the Third Raikage, so he will not be able to launch an effective counterattack against him.
Then it depends on the chakra of the two of them, who can't hold on first.
The key is that he is too far away from the ground and cannot hear the conversation between Crocodile and the Sandaime Raikage.
"The battle is getting boring, and the three minutes are up."
At this time Crocodile glanced casually at the Sandaime Raikage who was about to charge towards him again.
But this glance made the alarm bells ring loudly in the latter's heart, and he felt that the former suddenly had an extremely powerful and terrifying aura, pushing the air towards him like an invisible tsunami.
"If you have any means, just come here!"
All this excitement and pressure not only did not make the Sandaime Raikage feel fearful, but was stimulated to the point where his blood boiled all over, and violent momentum spurted out with roars.
He focused all his attention and strength on his right index finger, and black lightning began to flash on it.
"See how powerful the Raikage is, this is the strongest spear in the ninja world!"
"Hell Thrust. Extreme. Black Thunder. Ippon Hand!"
