Chapter 392: Yellow Spring Sword
"Hmph! Come on if you have the guts!" Crocodile raised his head, dust flying around him, and his contemptuous look remained the same.
Even though he knew that the other party possessed impressive Armament Haki, he was confident that he could handle it.
After all, he also understood the current situation of the scattered combat power of the Kuroko Pirates, and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were also being restrained by various parties. Now was the best time to subdue Deus and others to break the deadlock.
If Deus and others can be captured, great things will be accomplished. Crocodile doesn't mind using the hostage exchange strategy to achieve his goal.
Seeing this, Brooke gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and murmured in a low voice: "Then I will use the cold air of the underworld to help you get through this journey."
An invisible aura different from domineering aura burst out violently from Brook's body, whistling in all directions like a strong wind.
Crocodile's eyes narrowed, and he felt a sharp chill rising up, as if a maggot attached to his bones was locking onto him tightly. Even though he tried to transform into an element and leave the spot, he still couldn't get rid of that feeling.
"Desert Greatsword!"
The next moment, Crocodile decisively raised his hand and launched an extremely fast long-range sand blade attack.
However, what he cut was only the illusory afterimage of Brook left there.
Witnessing this scene, Crocodile's muscles tensed up and he felt the chill surrounding him become even more intense.
He instinctively blended into the wind and sand blowing in the air, intending to find the next suitable opportunity to counterattack.
Just as Crocodile was quickly observing the surrounding situation, especially paying attention to Deus and others not far away, a faint whisper suddenly sounded.
"My Observation Haki gives me the ability to sense other people's bodies and breath, and my Yomiuri Fruit gives me the ability to sense other people's souls. So, you have nowhere to hide!"
Hearing this whisper coming from behind him closely, Crocodile felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end.
You know, his body has not yet taken shape at this time, but is maintaining its elemental form, temporarily wandering in the air in the form of sand and dust.
"How can it be!?"
Crocodile's mind raced as he subconsciously raised questions in his heart.
However, Brook would not wait for the enemy to take action. As soon as he spoke, he took advantage of his rapid approach and suddenly thrust out the staff sword in his hand. His movements were as fast as a ghost.
"Yellow Springs: Straight Through!"
A cold light flashed by, and then disappeared in a flash.
Although Crocodile tried his best to dodge, he was still hit accurately by Brook's sword.
Crocodile let out a suppressed groan, and dust flew dozens of meters away, instantly gathering into a human shape.
Blood was seen oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his right hand was tightly holding his abdomen, which was covered with a shocking sword wound. A lot of frost was frozen on it, and it was spreading out from the wound to the surrounding areas.
As soon as his body stabilized, Crocodile suddenly swung the golden hook in his left hand and launched a fierce counterattack towards Brook.
"Desert Diamond Sword!"
A huge blade made of sand and gravel extended rapidly, like a sharp sickle, splitting the desertified land and everything it encountered in the path into two halves.
But Brook's figure had already disappeared from the spot, and he was moving around the venue at an unusually high speed, turning and shuttling back and forth.
Amidst the flying sand in the wind, an extremely cold air suddenly erupted, as if a cold winter current had arrived, causing the temperature within hundreds of meters around to drop sharply, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground and in the air.
Feeling the severe coldness from outside the body, Crocodile's body stiffened involuntarily. His brows tightened, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately transformed into an element and tried to escape.
Suddenly, a cold light appeared, drawing a long arc and heading straight towards Crocodile.
"Yellow Springs: Snow Blowing Slash!"
The sword lights were like weaving nets, accompanied by the raging cold air, which completely dyed the whole world into a white space covered in silver. Everything was covered with ice and snow, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Brook's rapidly moving blurry figure suddenly stopped. He held the sword in his right hand, with the tip of the sword still glowing. His posture was elegant and relaxed, and his mouth was moving slightly.
"I'm sorry, but you can't avoid this sword of Hades that strikes your soul directly. So, you have to face Hades directly."
As he spoke, Brook slowly straightened his body and the sword quietly slid into the sheath.
"I don't know your definition of a partner, but in my heart, a partner means far more than life itself." Brooke's voice was light, but it contained unquestionable firmness.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Crocodile, who had regained his human form from the dust in the air and was frozen in place after being slashed by his sword, was instantly covered with frost, like a statue frozen in time.
Then, he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and shock.
Brook said nothing more, but turned around silently and walked towards Deus and his group, who were temporarily stopping the battle due to his fight with Crocodile, as well as the various parties who were besieging them.
"Hey! Am I seeing right? That skeleton, he took that sand crocodile..."
"Don't be afraid! We are so many in number, what can he do to us?"
Brook's feat of beheading Crocodile with a sword not only caused a commotion among many members of the enemy forces, but also amazed Dewey and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
At the same time, through Kodaz's live broadcast, this scene quickly spread around the world.
If it is said that Brooke had always been overshadowed by Jerry and Cavendish before, from this moment on, he undoubtedly officially entered the eyes of the top leaders of various forces.
After all, Crocodile is a veteran Shichibukai, a user of the Nature-type Fruit ability, and his combat prowess has always been strong.
Although he had a dark history of being defeated by King Luffy due to carelessness, his powerful image in the eyes of the world has not been affected much.
Especially his record of fighting against the navy, pirates, etc. after he appeared after escaping from prison, as well as the vast desert left behind after the battle, all of which tell of his terrifying strength.
Therefore, Brook's direct victory over Crocodile naturally made the world realize that he is no ordinary person now.
After Brook freed his hands and feet, Deuce and the others felt that the pressure of being besieged was reduced again.
However, not long after, the naval officers who landed on the island shouted a few times, and countless marines retreated quickly like a tide, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Without the participation of the navy, the offensive and defensive pressure on the Kuroko Pirates continued to ease, and they quickly gathered together.
Not only them, but all the pirates present were confused by the navy's actions.
You know, after several admirals used large-scale skills to kill the pirates, the navy troops that landed on the island have been suppressing the pirates. Their target of attack is not only the Kuroko Pirates, but also all the lawless elements on the island.
At this time, seeing Deus landing on the ground and returning to human form, Kalina asked in confusion: "What's going on? Is there any new movement by the navy?"
"Gallot, take a look at the situation on the north side of the island." Skarr seemed to remember something and immediately said to Gallot.
Garrot nodded heavily, jumped high on the spot without hesitation, glanced in other directions of the island, and finally focused his eyes on the north side.
Then, her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
When they landed on the ground, looking at the faces of Deuce and the others, Garrott said anxiously: "The north of the island has all turned into magma!"
