Chapter 33: Awakened Sand Fruit!

Boom!

The world seemed to stop as a huge amount of invisible energy rushed into the sky, exploding sand from the force, creating large tsunamis of sand that washed over everything.

Crocodile opened his eyes wide, his pupils turning slightly see-through, along with his entire body. In seconds, his body became invisible, diminishing his presence.

Sukuna smirked as he felt the violent energy surrounding him from all directions. Just then, he jumped to the right, just as an invisible blade passed his side.

Crack!

With a punch, Sukuna hit the air in front of him, breaking whatever he hit into pieces, but Sukuna noticed that it was much harder than Even Crocodile's haki.

"Is this glass?"

Sukuna thought out loud as he smirked, he jumped back to the right, and then into the air as he flipped over the tens of invisible spikes coming out from the sand.

Suddenly, Sukuna turned around and smirked as he hit the air in front of him, the air stagnated slightly before an explosion resounding for miles was heard upon impact.

"Ugh!"

Crocodile, still in his invisible form, flew away from the impact of Sukuna's punch, his body flying away at high Mach speeds, into the sky, while his stomach had cracks on it.

"his body also became much harder"

Sukuna jumped up, and with a shave, he caught up to the flying Crocodile, his fist striking him in the same spot again, but with all his strength this time, without haki of course.

Boom!

A huge explosion was created in the sky, and the sand below the strike was pushed away as a circular crater, tens of meters in size, was created from the force, while a ring of water vapour was made in the sky.

"Ahhh!"

Crocodile screamed, his body splitting into dozens of Glass shards, and with even higher speed, his body flew towards the horizon, passing houses and buildings under him, before finally landing.

{ Alubarna ]

The sky was high and sunny, casting a warm glow on the city, but that would not last long, as 2 beings of destruction were going to tear this place to pieces, along with everyone.

Bang!

A single loud bang was heard, as Crocodile who reassembled his broken body into one piece again, landed on the ground back first, carrying all that energy with him, transferring it into the ground.

Instantly, the ground in a 50-meter radius around him disintegrated due to the force of his landing on the ground, forming a blazing fireball 50 meters high and wide.

Then a shockwave that levelled all and any building in a thousand-meter area was made, turning everything into scattered pieces of wood and concrete, along with blood and limbs.

Then the remaining force of the shockwave dismantled some buildings in a 5 thousand meter area, while mostly just throwing people into the air, or hurling them into buildings.

It was just a piece, the world seemed to stop, and all that remained was the carnage of a simple attack of Sukuna, and Crocodile standing in the middle of it.

"looks like you awakened your fruit, impressive" Sukuna came out from behind Crocodile, a nonchalant smile on his face as his four arms rested on his sides, While his eyes glowed a fiery red.

Crocodile looked back, his expression cold and calculative, trying to think of another way to attack Sukuna.

"So you can turn into glass now, and turn invisible along with your attacks, much better than I thought, but is that ALL you can do?"

Crocodile let out an annoyed grunt, his forehead adorned with throbbing veins that appeared on his head, with a huge energy surge again, the surroundings started changing.

"Ahhhh!"

"Someone, help me!"

"My child! Please save my child!"

Screams around the place, thousands of meters from Crocodile were heard, the surviving people from the previous attack were now running for their lives as the ground started turning into Sand.

Sukuna watched with amusement, the ground under his feet turning into sand, and then turning into glass as everything around Crocodile had the moisture in it get absorbed, turning into dry sand.

"This must be the permanent climate change that Aokiji and Akainu did in their own fight..."

Sukuna smirked, and with a pull, his feet destroyed the sand and glass surrounding him from all the pace, his feet turning into a dried piece, resembling a dry corpse, decades old.

Sukuna healed his legs, returning them to their original way, and with a kick, the air exploded, sending Sukuna at Crocodile, a thirsty look on his face, his blood boiling for a fight.

"Sukuna!"

Crocodile looked up, a dark black armament haki covering his hands and hook before with a squat, his body flashed forward, his fist and body turning into Glass, turning invisible.

Boom!

Lightning exploded in the middle of their clash, the surroundings immediately getting destroyed even more, the shockwave levelling everything in a 5-mile radius.

"Not bad!"

Sukuna praised Crocodile, his hand feeling slightly numb as Crocodile's haki, which returned to his peak, and his new fruit ability, made his attacks almost as strong as a punch from Garp.

"but your strikes are to spread, concentrate the force in a single place"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes, and with no shame, he did just as Sukuna said, his arm suddenly tuning even darker as the surroundings became silent, before a piercing scream was heard.

Everything disintegrated around a 5-mile area, and Sukuna smirked as he felt the force from Crocodile's fist get stronger, almost on par with A punch from Garp.

But...

It is not enough.

Bang!

Crocodile widened his eyes, looking down onto his stomach as a huge hole was made, his fist which was connected to Sukuna was also severed, getting ripped off as Sukuna's other hands came to help.

"Not bad, but you have to try better if you want to equal me~"

With a taunt, Sukuna smirked as his cursed reinforced Fist, along with basic hardened armament haki blasted open a hole in Crocodile's stomach.

But he watched in Surprise as Sand from the ground turned into glass, and then filled that hole as if it never happened.

"Crystal Espada!"

With a shout, a huge invisible slash went through the ground and passed next to Sukuna, who dodged with a smirk, the attack cutting the ground for miles on end.

In front of Crocodile, a huge cavity was made, his blade, instead of the weak scattered sand, was now made of glass, harder than diamond, and covered in Haki, making him even more dangerous.

Sukuna dashed at Crocodile, his fists raining down upon him, while Crocodile tried his best to defend while attacking too, but it was proving harder and harder every second.

The whole City of Alubarna was getting demolished by the 2 of them, every clash of these 2 titans was causing the surroundings for miles and miles to be demolished by the shockwave of their attack.

As the fight went on, Crocodile tried shooting, slashing and even piercing Sukuna with sharp bullets, blades or spears of glass, covered in his haki, but he always missed, instead hitting the surroundings.

This caused his stamina to quickly start vanishing, he had just re-awaken his 2 haki and his devil fruit, plus he had been spamming attacks like turning the ground into sand of glass.

Boom!

"Huff... Huff... Huff... Tch!"

Crocodile clicked his tongue as gasps for air were emitted from his lungs, his body crashing into the ground, before making a 5-mile-long trench, tens of meters deep.

He lay on his back, the ground around him turning back to the destroyed way it was before, his stamina finally running out, along with his Haki reserve.

And in his eyes, a smirking Sukuna landed beside him, his hands in his pockets, an impressed expression on his face, unlike Smoker, he seemed to actually be impressed here.

"Looks like it's over, huh?"

_____________________________________________

The fight is almost over!

What do you guys think about Crocodile's fruit awakening, I think it made sense for his fruit to have the new abilities after awakening.

Sand-Sand fruit awakening:

Being able to turn into glass, thus turning invisible and making your presence lower.

Able to create and manipulate glass, and those glass is proportional to your strength in durability, making them extremely hard, or fragile.

Can fill his injuries in with other Glass pieces, making his logia fruit even more op and difficult to deal with.

That's it for his new abilities.

Give me your power stones!
