Chapter 537: Chapter 436: Someone Actually Tried to Scheme Against Them!

Alabasta, desert center.

Just when Crocodile looked at Vice Admiral Drake about to be completely buried by the yellow sand, an ice spear suddenly fell, freezing the sand around Drake.

"This ability..."

Crocodile’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze slowly shifted, looking at a tall figure approaching from afar, that eternally nonchalant and lazy man.

Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji!

Crocodile extended his poison hook, grinning as he looked at the man approaching: "Hmph, no wonder a Vice Admiral dares to provoke me, turns out he has an Admiral backing him up?"

If it were previously an Admiral, Crocodile wouldn’t have much interest in fighting Aokiji, nor did he think he had any chance of winning.

Because there are differences even among Logia-Type Fruit abilities.

However, now Crocodile has gained a new power, and this battlefield is his suited desert. If he still lacks confidence in challenging an Admiral, then Crocodile’s courage would be too small.

He is a man who has challenged Whitebeard!

Aokiji is just a mere Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!

As Aokiji walked over, he casually rescued Vice Admiral Drake from the sand. When Drake was saved, he was drenched in blood, with sand-inflicted wounds all over his body.

This Vice Admiral is a truly pitiful person.

As an Ice-Ice Fruit user, even Aokiji felt a bit sympathetic: "Well, um... Try to find a place nearby to treat your wounds..."

"Yes."

Vice Admiral Drake nodded while clutching his wounds.

Just as Vice Admiral Drake intended to retreat, he solemnly reminded: "Admiral Aokiji, be careful."

"Hmm... Hmm hmm..."

Aokiji nodded indifferently and continued toward Crocodile.

As Aokiji walked forward, the cold air emitted from him landed on the desert, slowly forming an ice layer over the ground’s sand.

"This is the desert..."

Crocodile spread his arms, full of disdain: "Aokiji, even if you freeze the desert temporarily, the heat here will soon melt the ice..."

Crocodile suddenly spread his arms wide: "This is my turf now, even if you’re an Admiral, you’re a bit too confident..."

In an instant, a fierce wind swept up a towering sandstorm!

These sand waves were as tall as city walls, pressing forward with overwhelming momentum, seemingly ready to bury Admiral Aokiji and turn him into a dried-out bone in the sand!

Aokiji’s palm landed abruptly on the sand!

The ice instantly began to condense from his palm, quickly forming a towering ice wall, blocking the overwhelming sand waves!

Two Logia-Type Fruit users clashed for the first time, creating a magnificent scenery, towering sand waves rolling on one side, the ice wall stood firm like a mountain!

"Are they really this powerful?"

This scene left Vice Admiral Drake completely shocked.

Initially, Vice Admiral Drake thought the gap between him and these top-tier fighters wouldn’t be too large, but now it seems the difference is like that between heaven and earth!

At least he certainly wouldn’t dare interfere in the battle between these two Logia users!

"Hmm, underestimated..."

Aokiji rubbed his forehead, gazing at the relentless sand waves crashing against the ice wall. Indeed, Aokiji believed the Navy underestimated Crocodile.

Has Crocodile’s Sand-Sand Fruit awakened?

"Hmph..."

Crocodile’s voice drifted unpredictably in the sand, with an added hint of confidence: "Is that all an Admiral has?"

At this moment, Crocodile was overflowing with confidence!

The One-tailed Shukaku that entered his body augmented him enormously; Crocodile had never imagined he could reach this level!

Next moment, countless sands suddenly formed a gigantic sand hand, punching the ice wall and causing cracks!

Instantly, the ice wall was breached, and endless sand flooded in like a burst dam!

Aokiji dared not hesitate, letting the cold air fly and freezing the invading sand again. He even mixed sand and ice, constructing a solid wall!

The battle between two Logia users was far more impressive than anticipated!

Crocodile leveraged his territorial advantage, continuously rolling sand waves, but Aokiji blocked them one by one, although it seemed this Admiral was on the defensive!

"Is this the man who once challenged Whitebeard?"

Vice Admiral Drake was a bit stunned, his eyes flicking to the calm Aokiji, murmuring: "As expected of an Admiral... Remaining stable even in such a situation?"

Who would have thought that just after Vice Admiral Drake spoke, Aokiji, while manipulating cold air to reconstruct the ice wall and block the sand, turned to look at Drake far away, saying: "Hey, why don’t you check around Alabasta for reinforcements..."

"Wh... What?"

Vice Admiral Drake was dumbfounded.

He was still somewhat unaccustomed; why would an Admiral need reinforcements? Aren’t you the highest power of the World Government yourself!
