crocodile's fall part2

Laffitte: Now where is that little... Miss Goldenweek, where do you stand...

At that moment, a dozen marines appeared...

Laffitte just looked at them with a macabre smile.

Among those dozen marines stood out 1 man and 1 woman, the woman was wearing a blue shirt and a skirt, along with a ponytail in her hair, while the man was wearing a totally black suit, what characterized him was that he had a scar on his cheek.

Zeke: Kazumi, it seems that the information was correct, and luckily we arrived in time, don't you think so.

Kazumi: Demon Sheriff, you are under arrest, you can surrender peacefully or... we can just sweep the floor with you.

Laffitte kept looking at them, while sending his shikomizue on his staff, to make it spin.

Zeke: You heard the lady, now say which option you prefer.

At that moment Laffitte was approaching little by little, while twirling his cane.

Kazumi: This guy makes my hair stand on end... let's just use force.

At that moment he drew his sword and stood in battle pose, putting all the other marines on guard ready to fight.

What he didn't expect was for Laffitte to start throwing kicks at high speed and force, sending out several sharp blades of compressed air.

Zeke and Kazumi were able to parry all the attacks with their powers.

Zeke: How the hell does this madman know Rankyaku.

Kazumi: I don't know, but this is no time to think about that, we must get serious, this won't be as easy as we thought... his smile makes me nervous.

Laffitte kept throwing kicks, which were received by the pair of swordsmen.

Zeke: First form: whirlwind dust cutter.

As he ran forward quickly and continuously cut in a horizontal cyclone pattern.

Kazumi: First form: Thunderclap and Flash.

Laffitte: He lunged forward at a dazzling speed trying to decapitate Laffitte.

Laffitte became a shadow infused into Kazumi's shadow.

When the two arrived, they only attacked in the air.

Kazumi: Where the hell is that fool.

Zeke: He vanished before we could get to him.

While still in the shadows he went to where the other soldiers were.

Laffitte, then started slaughtering all the marines.

When Kazumi and Zeke realized, that all their men were being slaughtered they went back to attack Laffitte, but they found nothing, they only saw Laffitte's arm appear from the shadows to stab their men.

In Crocodalie's casino, Katahara and Drust were ready to begin.

A sudden explosion was heard, which set off the alarm, and people started screaming and running all over the place.

As the people ran Drust went to where all the Crocodile agents were.

Drust: Poison Cloud.

Which began to fill the place, at that moment Mr4 and Miss Merry Christmas appeared along with dozens of armed men Miss Merry Christmas transformed into a mole-human hybrid and began to dig through the floor of the casino to avoid the poisonous cloud that was all over the place, while all the men who were next to her began to inhale and die from the poison that was spreading.

Elsewhere Crocodile was standing next to Nico Robin, when suddenly they heard the sound of the alarm.

The door where they were suddenly opened, and a man in black robes with clouds and a conical hat.

Crocodile: Who the hell are you.

Nico Robin: Katahara D. Uchiha.

Crocodile: So you're the rookie, that Miss All Sunday couldn't capture.

Katahara started to enter without saying anything and took a seat on a chair that was in front of Crocodile.

Katahara: Crocodile.... Nico Robin.

At that moment.

Purupuru!

Purupuru!

Nico Robin answered his den den mushi.

Miss Goldenweek: Miss All Sunday told me never to call this place, but a madman appeared and killed Mr2 and Mr3, then marines appeared and started an all-out fight, by sheer luck I was able to escape from that place before they killed me.

Nico Robin was speechless when he heard what Miss Goldenweek told him, and then he thought about what Katahara told him days before.

So marines showed up huh, I guess it's nothing Laffitte can't handle, Katahara thought.

Crocodile: Looks like they were attacked, marines are not something you would expect in this place.

Katahara: Looks like your utopia operation is hanging by a thread Crocodile.

Both Crocodile and Nico Robin froze when they heard what Katahara said, Crocodile was silent for a few moments and came to the conclusion that only Nico Robin could have leaked his plans.

Crocodile: Miss All Sunday... Nico Robin...

Nico Robin: Sir.

Crocodile: How could you, after all I did for you, you're dead.

Nico Robin: Wh... What do you mean, sir.

At that moment sand started to appear in the place, and it was about to attack Nico Robin.

Katahara: I hope you thought about what we talked about the other day in your room.

Nico Robin didn't say anything, he just started to walk away from Crocodile who was totally angry, then he stood up from his chair.

Crocodile: Desert sword.

Katahara took out his sword and launched a powerful ranged attack that split Crocodile's sand sword in two and continued to split the whole building.

At that moment Katahara put his left hand in the form of a gun.

Katahara: Suiton: water gun.

She then began to shoot water shovels from her index finger.

Crocodile who had dodged the slash that Katahara threw received the shots from it thinking that it was not going to be able to harm him.

When the water bullets hit Crocodile's flesh, Katahara had aimed at Crocodile's knees, causing Crocodile to fall to the ground screaming.

Nico Robin: Co.... how is it possible that bullets could hurt Crocodile, who is a user.

Crocodile: AHGG... how, how is it possible that you could hurt me.

Katahara started walking in the direction of Crocodile who was still on the ground.

Katahara: Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness and that weakness is me.

He then started firing his water bullets at point blank range, killing Crocodile, on the spot.

Katahara: Nico Robin, now tell me will you join my crew.

Nico Robin: Since you killed my old boss I guess I don't lose anything.

Katahara: Good... then wait outside this office for a few moments.

Nico Robin came out, at that moment Katahara, took out a fruit from his ring and put it on Crocodile's corpse.

Moments later the fruit took the shape of a cactus with a stem sprouting from the top, with swirls going in a curly "S" like pattern. tan in color and has a ribbed surface covered with spines and with two tubercles.

Katahara: Well one more devil fruit, Suna Suna no Mi.

At that moment she kept her fruit in the ring, and walked out of the office, as Katahara and Robin walk down the stairs they noticed that there were many dead people all over the place.

Katahara: Looks like Druts got a little out of control.

When they arrived at the reception, Drust was sitting over the lifeless body of Miss Merry Christmas, with a devil fruit in his hand.

Drust: Captain, mission accomplished.

Katahara: Looks like you got the attention of those marines... this is Nico Robin, our new crew member.

Drust: Nice to meet you, miss... outside are some old acquaintances captain... remember that pair of swordsmen we met some time ago.

Katahara: This just got interesting, it looks like we are their target from the beginning... why don't we go and say hello?
