The next day, noon.
In the desert outside the rain.
"Are you going to use the phone bug to call him out?”
" What's wrong?" Karl asked curiously as he saw Robin take out a phone bug from his pocket instead of returning to Yuyan.
" If he didn't use the phone bug, even if the desert was his home ground, with Krogdal's cautious and suspicious personality, it would be impossible for him to come out. At most, he would only send his capable subordinates.”
Robin smiled and explained," If I was the one being held hostage, then it would be different. Because he needs my knowledge, he would definitely come out of the rain."”
"I see." Karl was slightly enlightened.
He remembered.
They both want to borrow external forces
But Krogdahl was different from Moonlight Moria.
If Moonlight Moria did not want to experience the pain of his companions being killed again because his companions were all killed by Kaido, except for Perona, Asabram, and Hogubak, the rest of his subordinates were all zombies.
Krogdahl, on the other hand, only believed in himself from the beginning to the end. Robin and the employees of the Baroque Workshop were all tools for him to achieve his goals.
Among these tools, Robin was the most valuable.
Before obtaining Pluto or confirming if Pluto existed in Arabastan, Krokdal would not allow anything to happen to Robin.
Therefore, if he heard that Robin was being held hostage, Krogdahl would definitely walk in even if he knew it was a trap.
Thinking of this, Carl looked at Robin, who was making a call, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
As expected of the advanced version of Carina, she really hit the nail on the head.
"Bru, Bru, Nicole Robin, why haven't you come yet?”
Robin's call was immediately picked up.
Without waiting for her to speak, Krokdahl's questioning voice came from the phone bug that was mimicking Krokdahl's expression.
"Boss, if you hadn't come, I might have been taken out of Shengting Island.”
Robin didn't deliberately show any nervousness or panic in the face of Krogdal's question. Instead, he smiled as usual.
"What happened?" Krogdahl was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice.
"I was recognized. The other party is the Dragon Knight that I failed to recruit some time ago.”
Robin chuckled." The other party has gone to pick up his companions. A dragon is guarding me now. If you don't come soon, I'll leave Shengting Island in less than an hour."”
"Position!" Krogdahl asked directly.
" Southwest of Yuyan!"
Robin had just reported the location when the phone bug lowered its head.
Putting away the phone bug, Robin looked at Carl and smiled.""With his speed, he should be able to arrive in about ten minutes.”
"Thank you for your hard work. You and Xiao Bai can watch the battle in the air.”
Carl waved his hand at the sky, and Whitey immediately turned into a stream of light and flew down.
Stopping in front of Carl and Robin, Little White's body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, he had transformed into a Azure Eyed White Dragon in his dragon form.
"Sorry to trouble you, Xiao Bai."
Robin jumped onto the Azure Eyed White Dragon's back, revealing the same pampering expression he had when he treated Choba in the original novel. He rubbed the back of the Azure Eyed White Dragon's neck and said.
"Roar!"
The Azure Eyed White Dragon responded softly and then soared into the sky.
"He's here!"
Not long after, Carl sensed a powerful aura approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
In less than two minutes, a figure whose lower body had turned into a sandstorm flew over at a low altitude.
"Kid, where is Nicole Robin?”
Krogdahl obviously recognized Karl.
As soon as he arrived, he asked Carl directly.
"In the sky. If you defeat me, you can bring her back anytime.”
Carl pointed at the sky and said without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Krogdahl immediately frowned.""Could it be that you deliberately asked her to inform me and lure me out?”
"Not bad."
" I came here to challenge you," Karl said with a grin." It's just a surprise that I recognized Nicole Robin!"”
"I see. Is it another idiot who wants to be famous?"
Krogdahl believed Karl's words, and he wasn't surprised.
It was just like how Carl always complained about how there were so many idiots in the sea.
There were countless idiots in this sea who were clearly weak but always wanted to become famous overnight and challenge and assassinate experts.
It wasn't just Karl. Krogdahl often encountered such situations as well.
Therefore, Krogdahl also classified Karl as that kind of person.
"Hurry up. Since you're wasting my time, you can just become a dried corpse and be buried in the desert.”
Krogdahl bit on a cigar, his fierce face filled with impatience.
He didn't know how strong Carl was.
However, just like Qing Zhi in the ice mountain or Chi Quan in the volcano, Krokdal in the desert was fearless. He was confident that he could even fight against the world's top combatants.
Therefore, in his eyes, Carl was no different from a dead man.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Karl didn't care about Krogdahl's contempt, but said excitedly.
Whoosh!
In the next second, his figure disappeared as if he had teleported.
When Karl's figure appeared in front of him, the sound of air breaking entered Krogdal's ears.
Just as his pupils constricted, a huge hole appeared in Krogdahl's chest.
Pulling back the fist that had pierced through Krogdal, Karl looked at his wound and exclaimed,""Impressive. He was clearly distracted, but he could still elementalize in advance and avoid my domineering punch.”
“......”
Like an old man, Krogdahl only reacted after Karl finished speaking. He subconsciously leaped back and put some distance between him and Karl.
"The color of the weapon is domineering. Kid, who are you?!”
Krogdahl looked at Karl with fear in his eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that the desert was his home ground, and the speed of his elemental conversion was almost a passive skill that allowed him to advance his elemental conversion, as well as the fact that the domineering capacity and quality that Carl had used just now were not strong, he might have already fallen for it.
Thinking of Karl's information, Krogdal did not believe that a powerful person who had mastered the domineering aura would be a bounty hunter who had walked out of the Weakest Sea.
"Why are you asking so much? You just need to know that I'm the one who's about to defeat you!”
Carl said with a burning desire to fight.
"You're right."
Krogdahl spat out the cigar in his mouth and smiled savagely."Anyway, you're going to be a dead man soon. There's no need to ask so much!”
"Desert Saber!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Krogdahl used his proudest move.
His right arm turned into yellow sand and turned into a huge sand blade. Like a flying sword, it tore through the desert ground and slashed at Carl.
Bang!
Carl didn't dodge Krokdal's huge sand blade. He just punched out. He didn't even cover his fist with the aura of an armed warrior, and the oncoming sand ninja was blown into sand.
This scene caused Krogdahl's pupils to shrink again.
"So that's how this strange strength is. Is it a monster like that guy?!”
Krogdahl's gaze toward Karl finally became fearful.
This unparalleled speed allowed him to see a familiar figure on Carl.
The acquaintance was Douglas Barrett, a former crew member of Roger's Pirates.
Other than the ghost energy and the fruit of fusion, the biggest impression Douglas Barrett gave him was his inhuman speed.
And now, Karl gave Kroddal the same feeling as Douglas Barrett when he was 19 years old.
Unlike Barrette, Carl was younger.
Whoosh!
After shattering the sand blade with a punch, Carl's figure rushed out of the sand mist.
Almost as soon as Kroddal finished muttering to himself, he appeared in front of him.
He didn't use the six body techniques he had stolen from CP9. It was still a straight punch without any technique.
The difference was that this time, in order to hurt Krokdahl, Karl covered his fist with the color of an armed domineering aura.
"Three Sun Moon Sand Dunes!"
Facing Karl's fist, Krogdahl did not dodge either. Instead, he swung his right arm that had yet to recover from the sand. It turned into a crescent-shaped sand blade again and drowned Karl's fist.
Different from the desert blade, the sand blade this time contained a terrifying drying power.
Like a magnet, the drying power in the sand blade tried to suck all the moisture in Carl's fist and arm through the pores on his skin.
However, this dried-up power was isolated by the color of the armor, let alone Karl's invulnerable defense.
He did not even give the sand blade a chance to wrestle with him. His domineering fist shattered Kroddal's sand blade and smashed towards his chest.
In response, Krokdahl's entire body turned into elements. He dodged Karl's domineering fist in advance, and his lower body formed a long curl as he soared into the sky.
"Sha Lan!"
After flying into the air, Krogdahl condensed a small scroll in his right palm and threw it down.
The sand tornado expanded rapidly, forming a huge sandstorm in the blink of an eye.
In just a few breaths, the sandstorm had turned into a huge tornado that could swallow a town.
This was Krokdahl fighting in the desert.
He only needed to use the least amount of stamina to maximize the power of the fruit.
Not only was the speed of his elemental essence conversion increased, but he could also advance his elemental essence conversion even without the fusion of Color of Perception. Even the power and range of his moves had increased by many times.
"This is the feeling. It's great!”
Carl, who was inside the scroll, could not open his eyes because of the sandstorm, but he said with a smile,"Next, I will go all out.”
After saying that, Carl used his Sight and Vision to capture Kroddal's position and then threw an uppercut on the spot.
Boom!
The moment he punched out, Carl used Life Return and infused his consciousness into his body.
A vast amount of power gathered on his fist, and as Carl punched, it transformed into a shock wave that exploded.
A huge air cannon shot into the sky.
Krokdahl, who was floating in the air with the help of the Saloon Scroll, saw a white light from below to above, drowning his eyes.
Immediately after, his entire body seemed to be shackled, and he could only freeze in the air.
Moreover, his stamina was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, Krogdahl was a Nature Ability user. Otherwise, even a powerful Animal Ability user would have spat out blood and suffered heavy injuries.
Carl had secretly learned Lu Qi's Six King Spears, and then obtained an Epic level enhancement from him. He had also integrated the domineering advanced version of the Six King Spears.
The image of this punch could be compared to the setting sun of the Naruto World's Eight Gates.
It was the same move as Charlotte Lingling's Mighty Nation and the Giant's Hegemony.
Unlike the Elbaf's Spear that they used to swing their weapons, Karl used his life to return the punch.
The power of this attack was also the power of another dimension.
Looking at Krogdahl's motionless state, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that if he wasn't a Nature Ability user, this punch would have already determined the victor.
If Moonlight Moria was hit by Carl's punch, even if he had a freakish physique and could survive Carl's punch, he would still be permanently injured.
The Air Cannon engulfed Krogdal and charged into the eye of the tornado.
Boom!
An explosion sounded as the two forces collided.
The unparalleled shockwave directly shattered the sand tornado that was enough to swallow a town. It turned into a gale that stirred up endless sand, forming a sand fog that covered an area of more than ten miles.
In the dust, other than a yellow patch and a glaring sandstorm, nothing could be seen clearly.
Even Robin, who was hovering in the air, couldn't see Karl and Krokdahl.
Only the Azure Eyed White Dragon was watching the battle in the dust with a domineering look.
It had to be said that there was a reason why the Devil Fruit of the Nature Element was recognized as the strongest among the three types of Devil Fruits.
With just the ability of elemental conversion, eighty-four percent of the people in this world were not worthy of being their opponents.
Of the remaining 16%, 1% was attributed to mutual restraint, 5% was Hai Loushi, and the remaining 10% was domineering.
Karl's punch, which was considered a dimensional attack to others, only consumed a small portion of Krogdal's stamina and did not cause any damage to him.
