Chapter 37: Playing With Crocodile 1

After rushing towards Rain Dinners, Narmi and the others finally had arrived at the front of it. The largest building in Rainbase, taking the shape of pyramid with a statue of golden crocodile on the top of it.

This place was famous as a casino, restaurant and resort. Of course, these was merely just a front. The real reason behind these Rain Dinners's existence was it was the secret base for Crocodile and his Baroque Works located underground.

After arriving, they quickly made way into Rain Dinners to face Crocodile. On the other side, Crocodile was waiting for them with a trap ready for them. He thought that his seastone trap, would definitely rob them of their devil fruit abilities.

After a few minutes, he noticed a group of five coming towards him. The leader of the group was a thin-build looking young man. But still Crocodile could felt an intense pressure that were released from him, more intense than Yonko that he had faced before.

Moreover, the others in his group also had powerful pressure that was on par with the Yonko. He couldn't help but be bewildered with this group. He didn't expect they were this strong. It explained why they could defeat Daz Bones and Zala.

And so, without hesitation, he deployed his trap on them. He thought by deploying a cage that was made by seastones, could help drain their energy and thus making them unable to use devil fruit abilities.

Narmi and the others, on the other hand, just watch the trap been deployed towards them. Not a single distressed expression could be seen. It was as if they had expected this.

Narmi thought that although he expect that he would use trap, but he also wouldn't expect it was the same as when he use it to trap Luffy and the others. Narmi just sighed in exhaustion with Crocodile's display. And herr he was hoping it was the more extravagant way of trapping them.

Crocodile thought with Narmi sighing, it means that his well-planned trap was a success. Naturally, this led him to guffawed loudly, mocking Narmi and the others. But he didn't noticed that all of them didn't have any panicked expression, but instead an expression of pure puzzlement was surfacing.

"Kuhahahaha. You guys are naive. Coming here and gotten trapped by me. It seems that now you couldn't do anything."

Narmi and the others just looked among themselves. They had the same thought within which is 'Was this man crazy? Didn't he noticed we aren't panicked at all?'.

But then, they thought that they would just play along with him.

"Ohh no! What is this?!" Nami started acting, putting a distressed face.

"Kuhahaha. This is a cage made with seastone. With this, you guys won't be able to use your devil fruit."

"Ohh no! It was true. I'm feeling my power being sapped away by this cage. Release us right now!" Nami continued with her acting.

Narmi and the others just put a shocked expression with her acting. This little girl Nami, she got a top-notch acting abilities. Even the Crocodile was following her along, not noticing her acting. If watched by the sideline, it was almost seems as they had been scripted.

"Kuhahaha. Are you an idiot? You want me to release you? Not in a chance. Hand me Nico Robin, and I will grant you guys a quick death."

"No way, Big Sis Nico Robin was our precious member. You can't take her away."

"I'm going to take her away by force if I have to. Remember! You guys are in my trap right now! Do what I order you guys."

"No. Even if I were to embrace death, I would not hand her to you. Release us right this instant!"

Irritated, Crocodile quickly used his power to make the girl in front of him suffer. Sands started to rise from his feet and shot towards Nami. He didn't intend to had a talk anymore. Nami, just stand there, also using her devil fruit abilities to cover her whole body with winds.

When the sands reached her, the winds helped to dispersed it. Naturally, this caused Crocodile to felt bewildered, as she can use her abilities well even when she was trapped in a seastone cage. He tried to attack her again, only to saw that his attack was dispersed again.

Only after the third attack did he finally felt something was off. He just noticed there wasn't any panicked expression on their face, instead their face were very calm. It was as if they wasn't affected at all. Even the girl that he tried to attack had a playful look on her face.

This caused him started to lose his composure as he didn't know what did his opponents had under their sleeves. But then, he remembered that they was inside the cage and felt relieved. He regain his composure and smugly looking at them.

"Hey, it seems you guys weren't affected with the cage. But, you guys still can't do anything. The key for the cage was with me. Kuhahahaha." Crocodile said while showed to them the key.

Narmi couldn't stand Crocodile standing there looking smugly anymore and he bought Jiku Jiku No Mi (Space-Time Space-Time Fruit) from the system. It was a Paramecia-type that could gave the user the ability to manipulate space and time.

He then proceed to teleport all five of them outside the cage and quickly made his way towards Crocodile. Stunned by Narmi sudden use of his abilities, he couldn't made a move at all.

Narmi then released a Haki-coated punch onto Crocodile. This time, Crocodile's abilities that he was proud of couldn't help him as he helplessly got sent flying by Narmi's punch. He knew now that he was screwed with this guy that could caused his abilities to be rendered useless.

Narmi then went beside Crocodile and crouched while looking down on him.

"Actually, I was planning to take time on watching Nami acting with you. But then, I couldn't help but get pissed when you look smugly from outside the cage, stating that we are hopeless and sitting duck inside the cage. So, I had the sudden urge to beat you up."

The injured Crocodile spurted out blood when he heard that. This man felt pissed with his statement, proceed to get out from the cage and want to beat him up.

"Now then. Shall we continue playing? I had all the time to play with you. Also, as a reminder, you being a Shichibukai, wouldn't save you out of this predicament at all."

Narmi said while his face grinned evilly. The 'Devil King' want to play with his victim.
