Chapter 369
"When exactly?"
"When exactly did I start to be controlled by his Zanpakutō?"
"Why can't you think of it?"
Crocodile looked around secretly from the corner of his eyes, and at the same time, he did not forget to use his observation Haki to sense Rosen in front of him.
His eyes flashed red.
Unlike before when he could not sense the breath of Rosen and Kuzan at all, this time his observation Haki sensed the breath of the two.
But even so, Crocodile was still not happy at all.
After the experience of being dominated by the mirror flower and water moon, he understood that Rosen could make him return to the real world, and also make him fall into the false world again.
At this time.
Crocodile just wanted to know when he started to be controlled by Rosen's mirror flower and water moon, and then step by step into the illusory world woven by the other party, only in this way could he think of a way to deal with the mirror flower and water moon.
"From the moment you approached the Alabasta Palace."
Rosen looked into Crocodile's eyes and revealed the other party's thoughts.
He possessed the Zanpakutō, Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and could use the power of this strongest illusion-type Zanpakutō without calling out the release words and real name, plus many Zanpakutōs made with the weapon fruit.
He wanted Crocodile to see the release of Mirror Flower and Water Moon without knowing it, and then fall into a permanent state of complete catalysis. There were countless ways, and it was extremely simple.
Just like the first meeting between Aizen and Yhwach, even if Aizen himself was in a sealed state and did not have the Zanpakutō, Mirror Flower and Water Moon, he could still make Yhwach fall into Mirror Flower and Water Moon without noticing it.
"Was it at that time?"
Crocodile could not help but clench his fists, and his mind kept replaying the previous experience.
He knew from when he became a captive of Mirror Flower and Water Moon, but he had no idea how he was affected by Mirror Flower and Water Moon during this process.
And.
Now not only were his five senses and observation colors controlled by Rosen, but even his thoughts and ideas every minute and every second, as well as everything that would happen in the future, were clearly read by the man in front of him.
The overwhelming feeling of powerlessness almost broke down Crocodile's psychological defenses.
Even when he challenged the strongest man in the world and was defeated and used as bait by the other party, he did not feel as powerless as he did today.
Facing Edward Newgate, he was defeated by absolute power.
And facing Rosen, he was dominated by the illusion before he even fought with the other party, and then he was defeated miserably.
After all, if he really fell into hallucinations the moment he approached the Alabasta Palace, it means that from that moment on, Rosen had countless opportunities to kill him.
"This is a battle that has already decided the outcome and life and death before it even started!"
The more Crocodile thought about it, the more anxious he became.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
From the first time he went out to sea as a pirate when he was young to now, he has experienced countless battles, faced countless opponents, and witnessed countless abilities over the years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a desperate and powerless situation.
"It seems that you have understood."
"Then, I don't need to help you put this thing on, right?"
"Crocodile."
Rocodile looked at Crocodile and took out a collar from his pocket.
The same collar worn by Djorkor Mihawk and Donquixote Doflamingo.
"..."
Crocodile took a look at the collar in Rosen's hand, and immediately felt a strong sense of unwillingness and anger in his heart, but when he thought of the ability of Jinghua Shuiyue and Rosen's strength, his face showed a dejected expression.
Then.
He took a difficult step with his feet as if filled with mercury, and walked towards Rosen step by step.
"Huh!"
After arriving in front of Rosen, Crocodile took a few breaths, as if trying to suppress the humiliation that was biting his heart.
Then.
He raised his palm and trembled as he reached out to the collar in Rosen's hand.
Snap
Crocodile grabbed the collar with a resigned expression.
However.
Whoosh
When the collar was in his hand, the desert behind Rosen suddenly exploded, raising sand and dust.
At the same time.
A sand blade broke out of the ground and stabbed Rosen's back at a very fast speed, like a skewer, penetrating through his body from the back, and a section of sand blade emerged from his chest.
"Desert Greatsword!"
As the sand blade pierced Rosen, Crocodile, who had just resigned himself to his fate,After removing the disguised mask, he revealed the cruelty and viciousness of a sea king.
Obviously.
His resignation just now was just his superb acting to deceive Rosen.
Everything was for this move, the desert sword was paving the way.
"You."
Rosen didn't seem to expect Crocodile's acting skills to be so good. After being played, his pale face became very ugly.
"You are too arrogant."
"Rosen."
"But it's true. You have killed and captured two of the Four Emperors. How could you take the Seven Warlords of the Sea seriously?"
Crocodile faced Rosen's gloomy eyes and taught him a lesson:
"Humph!"
"Pay the price for your arrogance!"
"General Death."
He grinned, loosened the collar in his hand, and then reached out to grab Rosen's neck.
"Erosion Samsara!"
Facing any opponent in the past, Crocodile only needed to use the Desert Prison to drain the water from the prey in his palm, but facing Rosen, even if Rosen was pierced through the body and seriously injured on the spot, he still used his strongest attack.
Erosion Samsara.
The dry power that was enough to raze the Kingdom of Alabasta to the ground and turn it into wind and sand exploded wildly.
Rosen, whose throat was held by his five fingers, was quickly drained of water under the power of the Erosion Samsara until he became like a mummy, withered.
"Me, kill me Rosen?"
Looking at the dried corpse in his hand, Crocodile's face twitched a few times, revealing an unconcealed ecstasy and a hint of disbelief.
This is the most powerful general in history.
The strongest creature on land, sea and air that can completely destroy the Wang Zhi Pirates and capture the awakened mythical beast species alive.
Now, such a navy king fell into his own hands.
Thinking of this, his eyes were full of excitement, and even his body trembled slightly because of the excessive excitement.
Puff
A blade suddenly emerged from Crocodile's chest.
The plaid long-sleeved shirt under the fur coat was quickly stained red by the blood that seeped out.
"..."
The blade that cut open his belly and the severe pain from his chest made Crocodile's ecstatic smile on his face freeze instantly. He turned his head with some difficulty, and his pupils moved to the corners of his eyes with the movement of turning his head.
When he looked behind him, he found that Rosen, who was first pierced through the body by the desert sword and then died after being eroded by the reincarnation and drained of water, was standing behind him intact at this moment, holding a Zanpakuto and piercing his body completely.
"How, how could it be?"
Crocodile's gradually pale face showed astonishment and disbelief.
"Since you know you are just one of the Shichibukai, why are you so naive that you think you can kill me?"
"Crocodile."
Facing Crocodile's unbelievable expression, Rosen said lightly, and then pulled the palm holding the knife back.
Puff
The Zanpakutō that pierced Crocodile's body was pulled out, and scarlet blood sprayed out from the wound, quickly dyeing the desert red.
Snap.
As the sharp blade left the body, the Desert King, one of the Shichibukai, staggered a few steps, his legs softened, and he knelt straight on the ground in front of Rosen.
