Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2509 Erosion Wheel Chapter VS Infinite Swamp Abyss!

Chapter 2509 Erosion Reincarnation VS Infinite Swamp!

"next."

Crocodile's hoarse, cold voice echoed above the lava and sand sea.

It was as if the final bell had rung for this nearly two-day-long battle at the summit.

Eight challengers.

Capone Becky, Doberman, Charlotte Daifuku, Loki, Oni Spider, Charlotte Cracker, Jozu, Charlotte Owen.

All have been defeated and sunk to the sands.

Now only one person remains.

The amazing phenomenon of time travel has reappeared.

The continent, which had become like a hellish place due to the fierce battle between the two, was restored to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

after an hour.

Teach's figure was teleported to Crocodile's front.

Under the tranquil night sky.

His face did not have the usual seemingly honest or cunning smile.

Instead, there is a sense of seriousness, focus, and even a hint of longing.

He stared intently at Crocodile across from him.

His eyes revealed an extreme greed for power that had been suppressed for decades.

"Thief hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Teach opened his arms wide, tilted his head back, and burst into arrogant laughter.

"Finally it's my turn!"

"Crocodile, you've really worked hard, but I'm determined to take this opportunity to become an Admiral!"

He no longer concealed his ambition.

With each step he took amidst laughter, the ground beneath his feet trembled violently.

It seemed to carry his immensely heavy desires.

Tichy is very clear that in this day and age, it takes a lot of effort to reach the top of the pyramid.

This necessitates the use of the military's vast resources, with the position of general being the highest priority.

Let's take a look at some of the top generals currently in the Army Headquarters.

Apart from Crocodile, everyone else has reached the God of War realm, which is the best proof.

Crocodile simply watched Teach quietly.

He could sense that this last challenger was different from the previous ones.

This difference is not a matter of strength or weakness.

Rather, it is a deep-seated, unwavering determination to reach the summit at all costs.

Since Crocodile absorbed a complete Philosopher's Stone.

His perception in this regard became exceptionally keen.

They could even sense the peculiarity of Teach's soul.

"I don't want to hear this nonsense anymore."

Crocodile, biting on a freshly lit Shukaku cigar, raised his golden hook, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"We're all pirates by origin, so come and take whatever you want."

"well said!"

Teach let out a low growl and launched the first attack.

At 3.4 meters tall, he was significantly taller than Crocodile, who was only 2 meters tall.

His physique is not as bloated and obese as it would be in the future of the "original timeline".

After joining the Army Headquarters, he underwent years of training.

They poured countless drops of sweat into the ultra-high gravity training room.

The excess fat has already been burned off and reshaped.

Now, he is strong and slender, like steel that has been forged through countless trials.

Broad shoulders, thick chest muscles, and a well-defined neck and face.

Beneath the clothes, the muscles on the arms and legs were taut like steel wires, exuding explosive power.

All of these features made his physique appear completely natural and without any sense of clumsiness.

Instead, it resembles a lithe and ferocious beast ready to pounce and devour its prey at any moment.

He looks very similar to Rocks D. Giebeck from back in the day.

This allowed him to unleash an astonishing speed at that moment.

The 'Teigu' Shadow Claw, wrapped in flowing cherry blossom light, pierced Crocodile's face like a beam of light.

No one expected Teach to do this.

He basically stood still during the previous combat capability assessments.

He used only the Swamp Fruit ability to outmaneuver Swamp Dragon, Mudfish Dragon, and Mud Dragon.

【clang----】

Crocodile raised his hook to block, and the impact produced a deafening roar.

The blast wave instantly shattered the icy ground beneath their feet.

A whirlwind of snowflakes shot straight into the sky from all around.

Yes.

His last battle with Irving took place in the far north of the continent.

However, the environment had been transformed into desert and lava fields at that time, so it was impossible to tell.

"Your domineering aura is pretty good~"

During the struggle, Crocodile looked at Teach, who was standing close by, and sneered.

He could clearly sense that this guy's Armament Haki had reached the level of an Admiral.

He is even better than Irving, Joz, and Loki.

"I never imagined you were Whitebeard's strongest son!"

"Thief hahahaha!"

"It's not too late to find out now, and I'm not going to keep a low profile anymore!"

Teach's wild laughter was incredibly unrestrained.

His gaze was so terrifying that it instilled fear in ordinary people.

[Boom boom boom boom.]

In an instant.

The two clashed fiercely amidst the howling wind and heavy snow.

Golden hooks, shadow claws, sand blades, and domineering aura clashed wildly.

Teach displayed exceptional close-combat skills in front of countless spectators.

His physical skills are expansive and powerful, yet also cunning and treacherous, and his domineering cultivation has no weaknesses.

Not only does he possess Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but his Conqueror's Haki is also incredibly powerful.

This finally made Crocodile feel real pressure.

He had to be extremely careful.

For the next hour or so, both sides tacitly refrained from using their Devil Fruit abilities.

They only compete in pure physical skills and domineering aura.

Teach's performance surprised many, but anyone with the ability of an admiral or higher could see it.

Crocodile consistently maintained a certain advantage in the battle.

If we say that Teach's panel attributes are a very nice hexagonal shape.

Crocodile is a hexagon that is slightly longer in every aspect.

With each swing of his golden hook, he could always suppress Teach, who was sometimes forced to dodge his attacks rather awkwardly.

This caused Teach's confident smile to gradually disappear.

He originally thought he wouldn't be much weaker than Crocodile.

But reality gave him a cold shower.

This is actually directly related to Im, who turned RL1111 into a semi-independent plane.

Of course, the outside world could not perceive the various auras and energy fluctuations during the battle.

This forced Teach and his team to rely solely on visual judgment to determine the relative strengths of the two sides.

If it was before.

With Teach's Observation Haki, he could sense the battle situation here even from the Army Headquarters.

"hateful!"

"So much for the warm-up!"

"Infinite Swamp Abyss!"

Teach's attacks failed to break through, and he himself suffered repeated injuries.

Finally, he couldn't resist using the Swamp-Swamp Fruit power within him.

Moreover, it's a direct awakening.

He was seen kneeling on one knee, his right palm pressed against the snow.

In an instant, the permafrost softened rapidly and began to collapse downwards.

Large amounts of thick, putrid mud spread in all directions, swallowing up everything in its path.

"Erosion of reincarnation!"

Crocodile snorted coldly, stomped his right foot hard, and activated the awakening of the Sand-Sand Fruit at the same time.

An invisible wave rose around him.

The frozen ground beneath our feet instantly lost its moisture, cracking open in spiderweb-like patterns.

The permafrost and snow buried deep beneath emitted a faint crackling sound as they were eroded away in a strange manner.

It faded to a bright yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into countless dry quicksand.

All that could be seen around Crocodile was yellow sand gushing out from the ground like a spring.

Layer upon layer of sand dunes rolled and expanded rapidly outwards, swallowing up the pure white snowfield in sight.

The sound of sand rubbing against each other echoed throughout the venue, as vast stretches of sand surged and spread.

The extreme cold was crushed into barren sand dunes.

This forming desert is like a living thing, an aggressively expanding mud swamp.

When the two sides come into contact.

The latter's moisture was absorbed frantically, causing it to solidify, harden, and turn into dry, barren land.

Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit ability clearly suppresses Teach's Swamp-Swamp Fruit ability.

Is this a relationship of mutual restraint between Devil Fruits?

No.

This result is due to the difference in strength between the individuals with the ability.

If the two were to exchange abilities, the desert would be covered by swamps.
