Chapter 107 Red Hair, Spiky Head, and Round Face
Crocodile's anger reached its peak. He could not accept his defeat, let alone being defeated by such a little-known guy!
"You bastard, who do you think I am?!"
"I am...."
...Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Clang!"
He extended the golden hook from his left hand, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged towards Kuroro without regard for anything else!
"Tick-tock".
"Tick-tock..."
'
Just at this critical moment, a few drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky. Crocodile stopped in his tracks and looked up. He saw that a vast expanse of sea had appeared in the once clear sky, blocking out the sunlight.
Then... a torrential downpour began.
"Splash—"
'
Kuroro looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, it's Nobunaga who's back~"
Before the operation began, Kuroro had instructed Nobunaga to retrieve the last piece of seawater floating in the sky after completing the mission.
On the one hand, the people of Arubana also need a good, refreshing rain.
On the other hand, Kuroro made two preparations just in case.
These raindrops are actually seawater. Although they won't leave an ability user completely powerless and unable to fight like someone who falls into the sea, the fact that they fall like raindrops will still affect the ability user's strength.
"Oh no, this rainwater is seawater! We need to find shelter!"
'
Bonnie was the first to discover the truth. She led Robin and the other woman to the eaves of a collapsed house, where they watched the two fighting in the rain.
Crocodile, soaked to the bone by the sea rain, stared blankly upwards.
Water already has a restraining effect on his Devil Fruit ability, let alone seawater. Although he doesn't feel weak all over, he can no longer use his ability to turn his body into sand.
Even in sand form, Kuroro beat him up like this; the consequences of not being able to sand form...
...He can't think about it.
"Is it over...?"
'
"Yes, it's over~"
Kuroro slowly approached him, shrugging. "Originally, the rain was meant as a precaution, but even without it, you're no match for me."
Raindrops soaked Crocodile's face, his expression was inscrutable, and the tip of the golden hook slowly fell off, revealing a short blade.
Seeing this, Kuroro raised an eyebrow in surprise, "What~ you're going to resist?"
Crocodile raised his hand to cover his face, letting out a low, melancholic laugh. "Knowing you'll fail is one thing, knowing you'll fail and not doing it is another..."
'
"A man who dares to defy fate is a true hero."
He shook the rain off his short blade, raised his head, and launched a final, ferocious attack on Kuroro!
"This is what a true hero is like~" Kuroro said with a sigh as he watched the scene.
"As expected of Mr. Crocodile~ I'll give you a private room, with the finest tea and newspapers~"
"Desert Greatsword I"
Crocodile manipulated the remaining, unwetted sand in the corner, condensing it from the shadows into a sword, which flew towards Chrollo's back.
However, Kuroro's circle caught it, but Kuroro remained calm, slightly turning his body to easily dodge it.
"Actually, I was just about to say that~"
"Your way of playing with sand is so lame!"
"All it knows is turning into sandstorms, knives, swords, and stuff like that..."
"
"I know a guy with red hair, spiky hair, and a round face. He may not be as strong as you, but he's got some amazing skills with sand. You're still a long way off."
Kuroro vanished from his spot, dodging Crocodile's deadly hook dagger. "But it's alright, I'll teach the Phantom Troupe member who inherits this Devil Fruit how to use it. You can rest easy in jail—"
Then he appeared behind him, raised his right arm high, his five fingers together, and aimed at Crocodile's neck, delivering a heavy chop!
"Thump—"
'
Unable to partially mitigate the damage through sandification, Old Sand was slammed into the ground with a loud crack—
The ground cracked instantly, with countless fissures spreading outwards, forming a shocking deep crater.
Crocodile lay in the very center of the crater, his eyes rolled back, completely unconscious...
Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has completed his hunt.
However, at this moment, Kuroro couldn't care less about Crocodile's miserable state. In his vision, the [Thief's Ultimate] skill was like a data stream, with lines of prompts flashing continuously, filling the entire screen—
Kuroro slowly grinned, then, as if remembering something, his face hardened, and he turned to survey his surroundings. After confirming there were no old Phantom Troupe members nearby, he slowly grinned again, revealing a comical expression, and burst into laughter: "This time..."
"I've made a fortune!"

[Reputation Points Gained: 3200]
A series of reputation rewards were distributed after the crisis was over, but these were just the tip of the iceberg. Kuroro's eyes gleamed as he continued to look down—
[Player's team has been detected to have defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, fulfilling the trigger condition and activating the Plunder ability.]
Crocodile, president of Baroque Works, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and one of the true leaders of the future Four Emperors' crew, the Cross Guild. Due to his current incomplete development of physical skills, he is still at the level of a Seven Warlord.
[Estimated bounty: 7 million; Reward: 70000 reputation points]
[The player has led a team to completely thwart the Baroque Works' conspiracy and prevented their destruction of the kingdom's capital, Arubana, thus fulfilling the trigger condition and activating the plunder ability.]
[Reputation Points Gained: 30000]
Kuroro looked at the prominent text at the bottom of the page:
[Player's current total reputation: 143350]
"Mega...Mega-Man!"
Kuroro's eyes were filled with this string of numbers, which took the shape of money.
We've never fought a battle with such a rich budget before!
This operation has an even bigger reputation reward than the one that stole the Heavenly Gold!
On one hand, there was the reward from a powerful figure like Old Sha, and on the other hand, there was the special nature of the country of Alabasta.
Now he can afford whatever appears in the Thief's Points Shop tomorrow!
"I never want to experience the pain of not being able to afford it again!"
The reputation points have come to an end.
When the sandstorm subsided and the members of the troupe learned that the battle of their leader had been decided, they all rushed to the palace to reunite with Kuroro.
Phinks threw the unconscious Bones and von Clay in front of Chrollo, placing them side by side with Crocodile.
Kuroro noticed suspiciously the new gold ring and large gold bracelet on Phinks's finger, Phinks's strange hobby.
"Is this guy busy cracking down on the local gang's underground casinos again?"
He curled his lip, "They don't even know how to take more! Don't they know the troupe is short on funds right now..."
Without further hesitation, Kuroro crouched down, his eyes filled with anticipation as he reached out and gently placed his hand on the three of them.
I wonder how many attribute points these three fruits will give him...
Could we help him grow into a vice-royal?
And... who should we give the Sasa fruit to?
