The domineering power in his hands was entangled like a dark fire, burning continuously, causing the two men's pupils to shrink continuously.
Bang!
Two hands penetrated into the smoke and flames. With just a squeeze, there was a loud explosion, and the surrounding smoke and flames dissipated.
The smoke and flames swirled back and forth, condensing into the figures of Smoker and Ace.
Ace got into position and said in a deep voice, "Hey, it's better not to get hit by him, otherwise it won't be pleasant."
In Narohara, just one blow from that posture knocked him down.
He still remembers that feeling of pain.
"You don't have to say more." Smoker bit his cigar and exhaled smoke, his face solemn.
Although he had never seen this posture, Smoker had also endured Sarger's attack and was knocked down by one blow. He also understood that this guy was ridiculously strong.
Not to mention the domineering aura that almost became a shock wave, just being caught would be a very uncomfortable situation for them now.
But
Smoker looked at the guy who fell to the ground with a hideous grin on his face.
Too difficult!
This can't even be said to be not being hit by him throughout the whole process, but they can't be touched by Sager at all. If they are touched, the power will definitely cause internal damage, which is even more outrageous than domineering!
"What? Not coming?"
Sager grinned and flexed his hands, "If you don't come, I'll go over there!"
Just as he finished saying this, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Ace in an instant. In front of Ace's stunned expression, he punched him with his huge fist.
Bear!
His fist hit a ball of flames, and the momentum from the punch suppressed the flames. When he threw a punch, he kicked to the side without even looking, hitting the ten hands that were attacking from the side, making a dull sound and kicking Smoker away.
"It's an unsportsmanlike to sneak attack, but it's meaningless to me, Smoker!" Sager laughed.
"Observation Haki?" Smoker, who had retreated, landed on the ground and raised his head with a provocative look: "It seems that facing us is not so easy for you."
As one of the uses of the power of mind and will, the observation and hearing color needs to be used in a calm and rational state, and also requires a certain degree of concentration. The higher the level of the observation and hearing color, the higher the degree of concentration.
Being able to block his sudden attack, this man was not as relaxed as he appeared. During the battle, he was still focused and remained rational.
Sager shook his head and suddenly swung his hand, unleashing a domineering aura that exploded the flames coming from the sky and scattered them into sparks. As the sparks flew, a flame condensed around Smoker and turned into the shape of Ace.
"As long as the consumption is sufficient, that state won't last long, right?" Ace smiled confidently.
Two people, one has a weak will and has no domineering aura, and the other does not know how to see and hear. As a natural type, he doesn't even need the armament domineering, which is equivalent to having nothing.
They were indeed at a disadvantage against Sager who could use Observation Haki, but as long as they could exhaust Sager and make him unable to use his Observation Haki, it would be difficult for him to avoid their attacks.
At the same level, without the use of Observation Haki, it would be impossible to beat both of them even with Haki, and their combined power is not low, and Sager will definitely not be able to defend himself at that time.
Sager sneered, "As expected of pirates, everyone is good at dreaming, but for your level, I don't need to concentrate that much, that's extra power."
As one of the uses of the power of mind and will, the seeing and hearing color is indeed, as they say, used instinctively in a calm and rational state, and requires a certain degree of concentration.
But it is impossible for people to maintain this state throughout the battle. They will definitely get tired after a long time, and the depletion of physical strength will also accelerate the loss of spirit.
No matter who it is, it is impossible to maintain this level of concentration throughout the entire battle.
But Sager is different.
He wasn't focused at all, and he wasn't calm and rational enough to deal with these two people.
The ability to react subconsciously and attack is purely because of
Unthinking Killing.
The 'Unthinking Killing' in Fist of the North Star is a technique that allows one to attack the enemy without any perception or intention.
After mastering the ability of observation, this move will come naturally.
There is no need to stay calm in battle. As long as the danger approaches, the body will react instinctively, whether you can sense it or not.
But once he reacts, won't he notice it?
If maintaining concentration, calmness and rationality is the initiative of seeing and hearing.
Then Sager will maintain the passive ability of observation in all aspects.
Sneak attacks would never work on him. He would never be like the so-called strongest man in the world who was suddenly stabbed from the front.
"never mind."
Sager looked at the two of them, his eyes slightly closed, then suddenly opened, a red dot appeared in his pupils, and combined with that hideous body, he looked as intimidating as a demon, causing the two of them to break out in cold sweats subconsciously.
"If you want me to concentrate, then I will show you the real power of dominance!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot. At that moment, both of them were startled, one turned into smoke and the other into fire, and they were about to scatter.
But at this moment, ferocious and thick hands suddenly appeared and penetrated into the smoke and flames.
"Elementalization also has a physical form. I can see it!"
Sager appeared in front of the two of them and grinned at them.
Bang!
Smoker subconsciously used his ten hands to block, but was hit on the steel rod by the outstretched palm. The huge force caused the cloud of smoke to shake, and his body flew up from the smoke.
Crack!
His other hand grabbed the "flame", and a muffled sound came from the flame. The flame burned his hand covered with domineering power, and it flowed out from his five fingers like a small stream of water.
"Heaven breaks and lives are killed!"
Seeing this, Sager spread out his five fingers and blasted out a ball of domineering energy, which penetrated into the flowing flames and knocked Ace's body backwards, collapsing a building.
Boom!
Just as his palms clenched and opened, Sager stomped his foot on the ground, creating a wave of air and quickly rushed to Smoker who had just been knocked into the air, and kicked him hard.
Smoker gritted his teeth, transformed in mid-air with great effort, and used his numb arms to raise ten hands to block in front of him.
"You know what, Smoker? No matter how hard the material is, there are many ways to defeat it. The realm of all things breathing, the domineering destruction of skills, or the use of higher materials, and these."
The strength of the domineering aura covering the legs and feet naturally exceeds the hardness of the material of the ten hands.
The internal destruction technique can destroy this steel rod into pieces from the inside out.
The Secret Hole of All Things that can be seen by the Breath of All Things allows him to accurately attack the weaknesses of the Ten Hands.
So.
Boom!
"I know it all!"
While resisting, he was kicked by the whip-like leg, first breaking into two pieces, then covered with cracks and shattered into countless pieces, leaving not even a handle for Smoker.
But it was just the momentary obstruction of these ten hands that allowed Smoker to successfully transform into an element. That kick only hit a cloud of scattered smoke. But at this moment, Sager smiled, and the kick that he had kicked out changed on the spot and threw it down.
"Sky-breaking Killing Black Moon!"
Swish!
A crescent-shaped slash kicked out from his legs and feet, hitting the rapidly moving smoke, directly crushing it to the ground, rolling up a series of gravel on the ground, revealing a very deep gully.
Pop.
Sager fell to the ground from the air, and his body returned to normal at this moment. He picked up the cloak that was blown to the ground due to the transformation, casually put it on his back, and turned back to grin: "Have you seen it, the two of you?"
Smoker was lying in the middle of the ravine, his abdomen covered in blood, unable to move.
Although the kick that caused internal damage missed, the slashing attack from the Sky Breaking Living Kill mixed with the Storm Kick destroyed the body tissue in Smoker's abdomen. However, the temporary natural characteristics that appeared prevented him from being cut in half.
Ace was lying on the ruins of the building, one of his legs limp, a dent on his chest, and blood was constantly flowing out.
The internal destructive force was directly crushed when Sager grabbed his legs, and the Sky-breaking Living Kill that followed also hit Ace's physical body in the flames, causing damage.
"No matter how powerful it is, if you can't do it yourself..."
Sager walked up to Smoker and pulled out a Coiled Snake cigar from his clothes on his chest, then walked to the other side, put the cigar close to the burning flame, waited for it to light, put it in his mouth, and exhaled a beautiful puff of smoke.
He grinned and laughed, "To me, it means nothing! Hahahahaha!"
In terms of attack intensity, Sager could see that the attack of fireworks intertwined together was very powerful. Just using this attack trick, Sager spent a lot of time to resist.
If it weren't for his extremely fast recovery of his domineering aura, he wouldn't even be able to withstand this move. The power of that move exceeded the strength of his domineering aura.
It was powerful enough, but its physical quality was far from enough. Under the combined effects of his domineering aura and Fist of the North Star, it couldn't even withstand a single blow.
The two people were like crispy skin in front of him and they tore apart with just a tear.
Especially when using the Observation Haki to sense the opponent's next move, Sager displayed overwhelming destructive power.
No matter how many killer moves they have hidden, such as a combination of moves where smoke can heat up the flame and thus cause the smoke to heat up as well, it will be completely meaningless if they can't use them.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Smoker, who was lying on the ground, suddenly coughed a few times, spurting out a large amount of blood, which fell on his face and flowed down his cheeks. His heaving chest showed that he was still breathing.
"Oh? I thought you passed out first. It seems that you used elemental transformation at the last moment and managed to eliminate some of the damage."
Sarger pointed one hand at Ace and the other at Smoker, and his dark and fiery domineering aura reappeared, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Tenpo Huo"
Just as he was about to continue his attack, a red light flashed in his eyes, and subconsciously, all the domineering aura wrapped around his hands covered his entire body.
Above his side, at a very high altitude behind the Alabasta Palace, an extremely bright white light suddenly appeared, with the power to shatter everything, crushing the nearby buildings. The blast wind swept up an extremely strong airflow, blowing violently towards him.
bomb!
A bomb exploded in the sky!
It was clearly not time yet.
Under this white light, Sager even saw a figure flying up from below, Crocodile?
Boom!!!
The bomb expanded from the sky, and the strong white light almost blinded the sky. Even though it exploded at a very high altitude, the huge impact force revealed under this white light also destroyed a large number of buildings.
Including the huge palace and the street entrance near the palace!
Although the center of the explosion was at a very high altitude, the impact force also destroyed all the buildings near Sager.
Boom!
The messy building debris hit Sager's side, but was blown away by the domineering protection around him that was like a black fire.
In just the blink of an eye, the place where he was standing was covered with ruins.
"What a joke!"
At this time, he didn't care whether Smoker and Ace were blown away or buried under the rubble.
With a red light flashing in his eyes, he quickly rushed to a ruin in front of him and kicked open a rectangular building in the ruins. He reached down into the ruins and found a familiar back collar. He pulled it up and a beautiful girl with big wavy blonde hair came out.
"Sager."
Lily was still conscious, and subconsciously used the sword to protect her body. On the thin blade, one could clearly see the dark color that was still receding.
There was no time to talk to Lily. After putting her down, Sager continued to grab his men from the ruins, pulling out one after another. Compared to Lily, these men had already passed out from the impact.
After letting go of his men, he rushed out again without stopping. His figure turned into an afterimage. He stomped out circles of air waves in the low air and used the Moon Step to rush to another place.
But just as he reached out his hand, the ruins were broken open. Marika, who was covered in hair like a cocoon, stretched out her hand to make her hair return to normal. She smiled at Sager: "Ah, Captain, don't worry. I protected it in time."
He turned around and grabbed around, pulling out seven or eight of his men as well. Then he moved away again, came to a ruin, and pulled out a pink-haired larva.
"Sager!" Renetia shouted.
Sager did not say anything. After putting Renetia down, he pulled out his men again. In addition to seven or eight men, there was also Palu, whose body was charred and his eyes were white, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Finally, his observation Haki sensed Ajin's location, and when he and his men were pulled out, this guy was obviously seriously injured.
"Captain Sager, I did not fail. Mr. Sanji was blocked by me." Ajin was not dizzy and said weakly when he was pulled out.
"Who cares about that?"
Sager said something unhappily, kicked off his feet, and ran straight to the tallest bell tower in Alabasta. As the continuous air waves spread, it took only ten minutes for him to reach the location of the big bell placed on the bell drum.
At this time, the clock face has been opened, revealing a hole. Inside is a blue-haired woman with tears streaming down her face but a determined look, and a man wearing a white robe dotted with many black four-cornered symbols.
Next to them was a huge cannon barrel whose caliber was only slightly smaller than that of the giant clock.
Sager fell inside, glanced at the blue-haired woman, and then glanced at the two people lying on the ground, a man and a woman in frog costumes.
It seems that what Lao Sha mentioned was the agent responsible for detonating the bomb, but now
"You did it?"
Sager looked at the man.
The moment he appeared, the man had already protected Vivi behind him and stared at Sager as if he was facing a great enemy, but did not reply.
Of course he knew this man, and the bounty had already arrived at the palace.
Sager glanced at the barrel of the cannon. It had obviously moved in a different direction than the original direction it was aimed at, the square.
The blue-haired woman was covered in wounds, but the somewhat strong man was unharmed.
That can be roughly inferred. This woman came to stop the explosion first, and got into a scuffle with the two agents. She obviously didn't win, but it seemed that she asked these two guys to advance the time of the shelling.
The man appeared next and took care of the two agents, but he was obviously too late to stop them, so an explosion occurred.
But it should be that when the explosion occurred, the direction of the artillery fire was moved and raised, allowing it to be fired farther, which is why it did not reach the original position.
So.
"She's quite capable. Her name is Vivi, right? The princess of Alabasta."
Sager clicked his tongue and said, "Did it go to the direction of the palace? Because of the war, that's the only place with few people. They would rather destroy the palace than hurt the people. They are very courageous."
"The people are the country!"
Vivi wiped her tears, stood up from behind Bell, and shouted firmly: "If the palace is gone, it can be rebuilt. The four thousand years of history are also made up of the people. As long as the people are there, the country will be there! Even if I am no longer a princess, as long as the country is there, that's enough!"
"Who cares about you?"
Sager rolled his eyes and ignored them. He turned around and fell down from the clock tower, then rushed to a position using the Moon Step.
He just came to confirm why the explosion happened earlier. He didn't care what happened in the end.
Instead, it was Crocodile who he should care about!
"Mr. Crocodile!"
"Why is Mr. Crocodile lying here?"
"No, why would he appear in the capital?"
This is a small square where several thousand people gathered for a fight. Although the huge explosion did not affect this side, it also stopped them from fighting.
Crocodile, who emerged from underground, also attracted their attention.
At this time, Tashigi led a group of marines through the center of the melee, and said solemnly to Crocodile who was lying on the ground:
"The president of the secret criminal organization 'Baroque Works', the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile, because of the conspiracy to use dancing powder to subvert the country, I am now depriving you of the power granted by the government in the name of the Navy Headquarters directly under the World Government, and arresting you!"
Subverting the country?!
Everyone around was stunned.
A rebel soldier trembled and said: "Is Crocodile using dancing powder? Then, this war..."
"Yes, we have confirmed that it was Crocodile who had been using the dancing powder and pinning the blame on the King of Alabasta. His purpose was to start your war and seize the country. There is no need for war now."
Tashigi tightly grasped Shigure, pointed the blade toward the sky, and shouted, "The war is over!"
Boom!
Perhaps it was the impact of the high-altitude explosion, or perhaps it was some other reason, but under the sunny sky filled with yellow sand, a huge dark cloud gathered, and a bolt of thunder descended as she screamed.
After the thunder, strong winds suddenly arose, rain fell, and an extremely exaggerated storm began.
As the thunder descended, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and stood beside Crocodile.
The man's white hair danced with the violent wind blowing around him, and his black pointed fur cloak was also fluttering. His extremely gloomy face was looking down at Crocodile.
"Natural disaster!"
Tashigi's pupils shrank and she shouted, "This country has stopped the war and will not continue fighting. Your conspiracy is over!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the royal army and the rebel army that heard them nearby subconsciously raised their weapons and aimed them at the white-haired man.
"War? Who the hell cares about that stuff!"
Sager's eyes glared forward, a scarlet light flashed in his pupils, causing the falling wind and heavy rain to stagnate for a moment, and the whole space seemed to be coated with a layer of black and red.
Be it the surrounding army or the navy behind Tashigi, at this moment all of them rolled their eyes and fell to the ground with their mouths opened unconsciously.
Plop!
Tashigi fell to her knees, the knife in her hand rolled to the side. She gasped for breath and tried to pick up the knife again, but her outstretched hand was trembling and she couldn't clench it.
What is that? !
Why do I feel scared!
It felt like she was being pressed down by a mountain or being swept away by the sea. Even the air she breathed seemed to have stopped at this moment, giving her the illusion of suffocation.
"Domineering color?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the ground.
Crocodile opened his slightly cloudy eyes and looked up at Sager, "So you are a qualified man."
"It's good to wake up."
Sager said, "Hey, follow me now, don't get caught here. You don't really care about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, do you?"
Crocodile was defeated?
That kind of thing doesn't matter!
At this time, he will start his plan B!
Plan A is to remind Crocodile and make his plan go smoothly, so that Sager's plan can succeed. After all, if people are successful, then the investment plan will be more stable.
Plan B is the contingency plan for Crocodile being defeated.
Sager had no interest in seizing this country. The first half of the Grand Line was not suitable for such a thing. He himself was not one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Crocodile's plan was not his plan.
If you fail, then just go out to sea with him. As long as you are not thrown into jail, everything will be fine.
After all, the person is here, so business can still be done and investment can still be made. What he wants is Crocodile's business channel and the brain that can make money!
Once you go out to sea, you are still a pirate!
Crocodile looked at the dark clouds in the sky and let the heavy rain wet his body. After muttering a response, a strange light emanated from his eyes.
Failed.
After failing again
in his attempt to challenge Whitebeard in the New World, he retreated to the first half of the Grand Line, feeling that he did not have enough strength, and instead set his sights on 'Pluto', thinking that with that kind of power, he should be able to build a military powerhouse and continue his advance into the New World.
After wasting so many years, he still failed. The strong remained strong, but Crocodile had his heart and will defeated by a rookie . Has he become weak to this extent?
From being extremely angry and unacceptable, to now being defeated, his heart was no longer disturbed.
Want to withdraw again?
Where to retreat to?
East China Sea?
Such boring things
"are not important anymore."
Crocodile closed his eyes and said, "I have no interest in anything now, so let it be."
Sager glared at him and gritted his teeth, "You are no longer interested, what will happen to our cooperation?!"
Crocodile didn't say anything else. He just lay on the ground with his face gradually becoming calm.
Sager was so angry that bloodshot began to fill his eyes, "Fuck you!"
What's the difference between this guy and waiting to die? If he was just rotting before, now he is completely rotten!
It's useless to take this kind of person away by force!
"Sager!"
Lily, Marika, and Renetia appeared in the small square and were shocked to see Crocodile lying on the ground.
"Hey, why did he fail?" Renetia asked in surprise.
"It's really surprising." Marika's smile also stopped a little, "This is the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Sager, if he fails, what will happen next?" Lily looked at Sager.
Sager took a deep breath and calmed down a little: "Forget about that rotten guy. Did you get the treasure?"
"Treasure."
Lily pursed her lips and said, "Our people have fainted, and Ajin is organizing there. The surrounding area has become a ruin, and all the treasures we collected have been buried. Now there are not many people to look for them."
Can't even get this little money?
Did he come to Alba just to watch the fireworks?
Sager's mood, which had just calmed down, became more tense.
But he also knew that it would be unrealistic to search any further.
There are still a lot of troops here. Even if the city is not able to support as many as a million troops, there must be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them. By the time these people react, it will be too late.
Not to mention that there are reinforcements coming in continuously from outside.
He couldn't possibly fight a million troops all by himself for such a small amount of money, could he?
He couldn't kill them all even if he died of exhaustion, and even if he squeezed out enough blood from his Conqueror's Haki, it wouldn't be enough.
"Don't worry, the plan has not failed! I still have plan C!"
Sager yelled, "Go to the rainy land! Go rob it again!"
In any case, his original plan was to rob Rainland and Alabasta, and the subsequent events were only added to the plan after he met Crocodile.
Now it's just a matter of returning to the original plan.
He did not fail!
As for Alabasta,
"Take your men and wait for me outside the city to see if those banana crocodiles are still there. If not, grab a few more camels. There is also a melee outside the city, and there are many camels." Sager said.
"What about you?" Lily asked.
"I won't give up! I'm going to see what Cobra has! I can't leave Alabasta without taking anything!"
Using the Haki of Observation, he could also sense a strong aura not far away underground.
The only person who can defeat Crocodile is that guy!
Inside the royal mausoleum, Cobra sat down on one side, looking at the rubble that kept falling around him, and then looked at Nico Robin whose chest was pierced, and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you tell Crocodile the truth? You actually know where Pluto is, right?"
Robin closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I have no interest in that kind of thing, and I have never thought of telling Crocodile. All I want to know is the real history."
"The historical text here is not real history, but it doesn't matter. This is the last hope."
Tears began to accumulate under her long eyelashes. She opened her blue eyes and murmured:
"It suits me just fine to die here. I am tired. There are too many enemies on the road to my dream."
"If there are too many, just kill them all!"
A voice sounded from above, "Of course there will be obstacles to dreams! For example, in my case, I never have a smooth life!"
Cobra was about to speak when he was stunned for a moment, and saw a person suddenly jumped down from the hole in the sky.
Sager landed on the ground, looked around, glanced at the Straw Hat Boy who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and then looked at Cobra.
"Natural disaster."
Cobra said in a deep voice: "Why are you here now? Are you here to avenge Crocodile?"
"I'm not interested in taking revenge for that rotten guy. Besides, we don't have any grudges against each other. Cobra, tell me where your treasure is. Don't tell me about the palace. The palace is gone." Sager said.
"The palace is gone."
Cobra paused, lowered his head and smiled: "I see, the explosion just now, was there an accident in the palace? Fortunately, there is no one in the palace, everyone is outside, so it's gone."
"If there is no palace, then there is no treasure. This country has suffered from drought for many years and there is no money. All our money has been used to pay for the Heavenly Gold. The country is poor."
He looked up at Sager and said:
"If you really want it, the historical text behind you should have some value. Isn't that why you cooperated with Crocodile? Unfortunately, what you want is not here."
Sager looked back at a square stone block that was three people tall, with words written on it that he could not understand even more.
It's not here.
Sager was stunned for a moment and then remembered.
"Isn't it just Pluto? That thing is in Wano Country, not in Alabasta! This is just a piece of broken stone."
He clenched his fist and punched it hard, "It's worthless, what's the use!"
Bang!
The fist with domineering power hit the stone, but it didn't leave any marks.
Very hard.
"You, how do you know?!" Cobra and Robin, who was determined to die, were both shocked and looked over with wide eyes.
Could he understand it too?
"Speaking of"
Cobra discovered something, looked at Sager, then looked at Robin, "Aren't you two too similar?"
If it is normal to have similarities on the sea, but being able to know this news means that he understands it.
Robin, who could understand and resemble Sager, also had strange eyes and stared at him in surprise and doubt.
Although she felt that Sager looked similar when she first met him, she didn't take it seriously.
O'Hara, make sure she's the only one left.
Sager knocked the stone there and thought: "It's very hard. It seems that this thing can be used for exercise.
Then he looked at Robin and said calmly, "Of course we look alike. In terms of blood relationship, Nicole Robin, you are my sister."
