Chapter 826: Strongest Spear!
[Roar!!!]
Amidst the Sand Dune that had been brutally bombarded by 'Meteor Fall', another Loud Noise echoed, drawing everyone's Gaze.
The Yellow Sand that had just fallen back to the Ground from the Sky was once again shaken up to High Altitude, forming a large Yellow Sand Screen.
At the same time,
A hazy Blue Light was seen slowly walking out. As expected, it was the Third Raikage, appearing within Crocodile's Line of Sight, leaving Blood Prints with every step, a long diagonal Bloody Wound across his Chest.
He was naturally also silently watched by Tengen Uzui and the group of Sea Ninja who had returned to the City Wall Top at some point behind him, as well as Rasa and the Sunagakure Jonin a kilometer away.
At this moment,
The vast Sand Sea and the magnificent Rōran served as the perfect stage and background.
They were the spectators, the Third Raikage was the Protagonist, and Crocodile, grinning with a playful Smile on his face, exuded a villainous Aura.
However,
The heads 'growing' in the Sand in the distance, with their blurry Positioning, were somewhat ambiguous – it was unclear if they were spectators or part of the background...
Gusts of Sandstorm blew past, the Atmosphere was somewhat Solemn, and also somewhat tragic.
"Huff—huff—"
The Third Raikage paid no mind to the terrifying Wound on his Chest or the Blood flowing from his Body. His tiger-like eyes, filled with Killing Intent, were fixed intently on Crocodile's eyes.
His Breathing was heavy and rapid, and the surging Lightning Flame on his Body was forcefully stopping the bleeding for him with its High Temperature.
"This Old Man doesn't care who you are!"
"Next, prepare your Resolve and receive this full-powered strike from me,"
"Heh—"
Crocodile's composed Smile remained on his face. He didn't immediately answer the Third Raikage.
First, he took out a new Cigar from the inner pocket of his Black Justice Coat, bit down on it, lit it with a Lighter, then put the Lighter back in his outer pocket. He then held the Cigar between two fingers, took a deep puff, and exhaled.
"Huuuush—"
Instantly,
A gust of Sandstorm blew past, conveniently sweeping away the White Smoke he exhaled. Along with it, the hem of his Coat of Justice also began to flutter in the Wind, and the Cigar was back in his mouth.
Only after doing all this did he give his response in his magnetic Voice.
"I'll give you three minutes."
"If you take longer than that, I'll end this Combat."
As the first Powerhouse Crocodile encountered in the Ninja World, he was very happy that the Third Raikage was a guy with considerable Courage.
Compared to that, if he were a Coward, it would make him quite unhappy.
So, being in a good mood, he was willing to give the Third Raikage a chance to show himself.
But the moment his Voice fell, a brilliant blue lightning flash had already burst forth in front of him, then passed through his Body in the blink of an eye.
Several seconds later, a furious Roar finally reached Crocodile's ears.
"I, the Raikage, am the strongest Ninja under the Heavens, unique and unparalleled! There is nothing this Hell Stab cannot pierce!!"
Behind him,
The Third Raikage raised his Right Hand, with only his index finger extended. His face was filled with deep shock. His full-power strike had actually been dodged by the opponent.
No, that wasn't right.
The opponent's Body hadn't made any dodging movements, and he had indeed passed through the opponent's Body, yet there was no Touch Sensation feedback.
"How long are you going to stand there like an idiot? You don't have much Time left, Strongest Raikage~"
Crocodile slowly turned around and reminded the Third Raikage, looking at his back.
However, he was actually surprised by the Speed the opponent had just shown. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he had predicted the opponent's Landing Point in advance and then actively separated his Body using Element Transformation.
Mainly, he wasn't sure yet if this Lightning Release Chakra could touch his Main Body after Element Transformation.
This was also the reason he was willing to give the Third Raikage some Time.
"Bastard, don't underestimate the Strength of the Raikage!"
The Third Raikage heard the Flippancy in Crocodile's tone. The Rage already ignited in his Heart was like a Bowl of Gasoline being poured on it, causing his Lightning Release Chakra to surge even higher.
[Roar!]
With a Thunder-like Loud Noise from the flat ground, the Sandy Ground where he stood instantly exploded, and he himself once again transformed into an incredibly fast Electric Flash, charging towards Crocodile.
This time, Crocodile didn't dodge at all, nor did he use Armament Haki to strengthen his Attack and Defense. He relied entirely on his left hand, transformed into a Sand Hook, to meet the Third Raikage's index finger, which was condensed with a large amount of Lightning.
[Bang————]
Somewhat unexpectedly, yet somewhat naturally, the scorpion-like Sand Hook was easily pierced by the One Finger Nukite. The large amount of Lightning that burst forth exploded it into a mass of Yellow Sand, scattering in Mid-air.
"His Body turned into Sand. That strike just now didn't cause him any damage?"
The Third Raikage frowned and turned around, looking at the broken wrist area of Crocodile, where the Palm was rapidly recovering into a Palm as Sand gathered. His mood became even heavier.
"Is it a Secret Technique similar to the Kirigakure Hozuki Clan's Water Transformation Technique, or perhaps the opponent's Bloodline Limit..."
But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out.
Regardless of whether this Sand Transformation Technique of the opponent was a Secret Technique or a Bloodline Limit, its essence was still Earth Release, right? So why was his Lightning Release Chakra ineffective against it?
Cloud Hidden Village also had Intelligence and Combat Experience regarding the Water Transformation Technique.
He remembered it clearly stated that Lightning Release had a very strong Counter effect on the Water Transformation Technique, which could cause the Hozuki Clan to lose Control Ability over their Water Transformation Body under the stimulation of Electro.
On the other side,
Crocodile's Smile became even brighter.
He took the Risk of his left hand being injured, or even broken, to confirm a very important Intelligence: the Ninjutsu and Chakra of This World could not harm the Element Transformation of a Logia User.
Of course,
Water Release might still have some effect on him, which was quite annoying.
Why did his Sand-Sand Fruit inexplicably have a Weakness where Water could directly hit his Main Body?
It wasn't fair!
However, the Third Raikage didn't give up the Combat just because he discovered Crocodile had the Sand Transformation Ability. Instead, he continued to maintain his Lightning Release Armor and launched an extremely high speed, fierce Offensive against the latter.
[Bang bang bang bang...]
The Scene was like streaks of blue electric light attacking Crocodile in the center from all directions, constantly blasting his Body into masses of yellowish-brown Sand.
It seemed as though the latter had fallen into a Disadvantage of being passively beaten.
But both the Combatants and the spectators elsewhere clearly Understand that the Third Raikage, who was helpless against the Sand Transformation Ability, was the one at a Disadvantage.
But not necessarily.
Rasa, a kilometer away, felt that this might turn into a War of Attrition.
From the current Battle Situation, that unknown Sand Control Powerhouse, although very Strong, seemed to be slower than the Third Raikage, thus unable to launch an effective Counterattack against him.
Then it would depend on whose Chakra would give out first.
The key was that his Position was too far from the Ground; he couldn't hear the Conversation between Crocodile and the Third Raikage at all.
"The Combat has become boring, and the three minutes are up."
At this moment, Crocodile casually glanced at the Third Raikage, who was preparing to charge at him again.
But this glance caused a loud alarm to ring in the latter's Heart. He felt an extremely Strong and profound terrifying Aura suddenly emanate from the former, pressing down on him like an invisible Tsunami pushing the Air.
"Bring whatever Means you have!"
All this stimulation and Pressure not only didn't cause Fear in the Third Raikage's Heart, but instead stimulated his whole Body, making his Hot Blood Boiling. A violent Aura, Accompanied By a Roar, erupted.
He concentrated all his Mind and Strength on his Right Index Finger, which actually began to flash with Black Lightning.
"Witness the Strength of the Raikage! This is the Strongest Spear of the Ninja World!"
"Hell Stab: Extreme, Black Lightning, One-Finger Nukite!"
