Pirate Hero Advent

After all, Lynn had been a gladiator for a long time, and was even the strongest among them, so he retained many little habits of gladiators.

One of them is-

When someone provokes you, you have to go on, and then provoke you back.

So when Crocodile said that Lynn was a third-rate guy with unknown background, Lynn emphasized the bounty offered by himself and Crocodile in turn.

And when Crocodile took advantage of the opportunity of shaking hands and tried to use his ability to suck Lynn's arm dry, Lynn also thought of his own counterattack method.

Since Crocodile wants to use handshake to give himself a bad name, according to etiquette, he must also use handshake to repay him well!

However, Lynn is an animal devil fruit ability user after all, and he doesn't have any weird abilities, so the counterattack method he can think of is very simple.

Two words - hard.

The handshake continues.

Crocodile wanted to withdraw his right hand, but found that Lynn's hand was like a pair of iron clamps, which firmly fixed his hand there.

At the same time, the grip strength from Lynn's hand is gradually increasing.

Lynn Barek, are you trying to provoke me?

Crocodile leaned close to Lynn's face and growled, You've been out at sea for less than a year, don't be too arrogant!

Lynn raised his eyebrows, Oh, is that right? Eight thousand one?

You! Crocodile was furious when he heard this.

What eight thousand one? Isn't it just saying that his bounty is only 81 million Berry!

Originally, he wouldn't care about such trivial matters, after all, no one would really regard the bounty set by the navy as their own status benchmark, right?

But now his right hand was held by Lin En, and he couldn't break free. Coupled with Lin En's words, an unknown fire suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Lynn Barek... bastard!

Crocodile's forehead was full of blue veins, and he gritted his teeth and said, Do you want to fight me here!

Lynn didn't answer, but continued to exert force with his right hand, and finally reached the point where Crocodile felt pain from the grip alone!

Uh...uh!

Crocodile growled, and the wrist of his right arm showed veins due to the violent force.

Lynn looked at Crocodile, grinned and said, Yaqianyi, do you want to compete with me in my field?

Regardless of the overall combat effectiveness, Crocodile is bound to be inferior to Lynn in terms of pure physical fitness.

As for the handshake contest, apart from the simple psychological confrontation, the fundamental factor that determines the outcome of the two parties is only the most simple and brutal force!

Crocodile gritted his teeth, the pain from his right hand was increasing little by little, and finally became a severe pain that even he could not bear.

He could even feel his hand bones creaking!

Why? Why didn't 'dry up' work for him!

Crocodile's eyes were fixed on Lynn, and in the end he even bit off the cigar in his mouth because of too much force.

In the end, Crocodile finally made up his mind before he couldn't bear it anymore and his body was about to lose his balance. He raised the hook of his left hand and swiped at Lynn!

Swish!

In an instant, Lynn let go of Crocodile's hand, and took half a step back, avoiding the hook that was attacking him.

Hey, be careful! Lynn exclaimed deliberately.

The moment the hook was about to miss Lynn's body, Crocodile's left arm instantly became elemental, increasing his attack range a little.

It was also because of the increased distance that Lynn, who had successfully avoided the hook, once again entered his attack range.

But having said that, things like attack range are mutual.

The moment the hook was about to hit Lynn, Lynn suddenly raised his right hand, trying to grab Crocodile's arm again.

Seeing this situation, Crocker Dalton broke out in a cold sweat.

Lynn's monster-like physical strength left an indelible impression on him. If he really caught him again this time, trying to break free would not be as easy as when he shake hands!

We must never let him get close again!

Thinking of this, Crocodile immediately elementalized his whole body, turned into a sandstorm and retreated a few steps, and gathered into a human form again not far away.

Looking around, Crocodile couldn't help frowning.

The internal structure of the palace is too complicated, and there is too little room to move around, so it is easy for Lynn to get close.

Besides, Crocodile doesn't want to make enemies with Alabasta by destroying the palace, so it is definitely not wise to start a war here

Turning his trembling right hand behind his back and hiding it under his robe, Crocodile sneered at Lynn:

Hey, this is the palace of the royal family after all. Fighting here will cause trouble to others. Are you really here to help?

certainly..

Lynn nodded, and retracted the fighting stance he had just put on.

After all, he had just arrived in Alabasta, so it would be inappropriate if he demolished Weiwei's house the first time they met.

Hehe, it's really interesting.

Crocodile smiled softly, and then said to Cobra on the side: I'm going to rest, remember to call me when I leave for the transaction tomorrow.

But just as Crocodile was about to leave the palace, Lynn suddenly said: Hey, Yachiichi, remember to apply a cold compress to your right hand when you go back, otherwise it will be swollen tomorrow!

Crocodile: ...

Then without a word, he turned and left.

On the other hand, under the arrangement of Cobra, Lynn enjoyed a royal supper in Alabasta.

During the period, Cobra also wanted to ask Lynn if he had any trouble with Crocodile, but Lynn's mouth was already stuffed with food, and Cobra couldn't hear what he said at all.

An hour later, under the astonished gazes of Cobra and Icarem, Lynn had a full meal and returned to the room arranged for him by Icarem.

In the room, Lynn found a message, inviting him to go to the desert outside Albana now.

Lynn couldn't help grinning, saying that Crocodile really deserves to be an ambitious man who is good at trying to figure out people's hearts.

How could I not go to such an interesting event?

Immediately, Lynn jumped out of the upstairs through the window. After leaving the palace, he asked the residents of Albana for directions. Finally, it took half an hour to arrive at the desert mentioned in the note.

At this time, the person who left the note, Crocodile, had been waiting for a long time.

Hehehehe, Lynn Barek, I knew you would come.

Crocodile laughed softly: You are an extremely confident man, even so confident that you are conceited. You don't need any tricks to deal with people like you. You just need to leave a note and you will definitely come here.

Lynn raised his eyebrows, So you want to say this is your conspiracy?

Wrong. Crocodile corrected: This is a conspiracy.

Hahahahahaha!

Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help laughing and said, Then Yachiichi, what is your purpose for inviting me here?

It's very simple.

Crocodile stretched out his right hand, which had just been iced, and it was still slightly red and swollen.

It was the first round just now, I admit, I lost.

Crocodile dropped his right hand, elementalized and turned into a sharp gravel scimitar.

Now--

He was smoking a cigar, exhaling a puff of smoke from his mouth.

Let's start the second round.
