Chapter 77
Lynn has been a gladiator for a long time after all, and even the strongest among them, so he retains a lot of gladiator habits.
One of them is--
When someone provokes you, you have to continue, and then provoke you back.
So when Crocodile said that Lynn was a third-rate product of unknown origin, Lynn in turn emphasized himself and Crocodile's bounty gold.
And when Crocodile took advantage of the opportunity to shake hands and tried to suck up Lynn's arm with his ability, Lynn also thought of his own counterattack method.
Since Crocodile wants to use a "handshake" to give himself a good start, then in accordance with the etiquette, he must also use a "handshake" to reciprocate him!
However, Lynn is Zoan Devil Fruit Ability User after all, and has no messy and weird abilities, so the counterattack he can think of is very simple.
Two words-force.
The "handshake" continues.
Crocodile wanted to withdraw his right hand, but found that Lynn's hand was like a pair of iron tongs, firmly fixing his hand there.
At the same time, the grip strength uploaded from Lynn's hand is gradually increasing.
"Lynn Barek, are you trying to provoke me?"
Crocodile leaned close to Lynn’s face and roared, "You’ve been out to sea for less than a year, don’t you It's too arrogant!"
Lynn's eyebrow raised, "Oh, is it? Eight thousand one?"
"You!" Crocodile hearing this immediately furious.
What eight thousand and one? Isn't it just saying that his bounty gold is only 81 million berry!
He wouldn't care about such trivial matters. After all, no one really regards the bounty gold set by Marine as his own status benchmark, right?
But now his right hand is being held by Lynn, and he can't get rid of it anyhow. Coupled with Lynn's words, an unknown fire immediately rises from the bottom of his heart.
"Lynn Barek... asshole!"
The veins on Crocodile's forehead burst, gnashing teeth said: "Do you want to fight me here!"
Lynn didn't answer, but the right hand continued to exert force, and finally reached the point where Crocodile felt pain just by grip strength!
"Uh...Uh!"
Crocodile growled, the wrist of his right arm, because of the violent force, appeared in his debut.
Lynn looked at Crocodile, grinning said with a smile: "Eight thousand one, do you want to compete with me in my field?"
Regardless of its comprehensive combat power, In terms of pure physical fitness, Crocodile is definitely not comparable to Lynn.
And the "handshake" this kind of contest, in addition to the simple heart-to-heart confrontation, the fundamental factor that determines the outcome of the two sides is the simplest and rude force!
Crocodile gritted his teeth, the pain from the right hand was increasing little by little, and finally turned into a severe pain that even he could not bear.
He can even feel his hand bones creaking!
"Why? Why is'drying up' useless for him!"
Crocodile's eyes fixed on Lynn, and in the end, because of too much force, he even put the cigar in his mouth They were all bitten off.
In the end, Crocodile finally made up his mind before he couldn't bear it completely and his body was about to lose balance. He raised the hook of his left hand and swiped it at Lynn!
Shua!
In an instant, Lynn released Crocodile's hand and retreated half a step back, avoiding the hook that hit him.
"Huh, be careful!" Lynn deliberately cried out in surprise.
At the moment when the hook was about to miss Lynn's body, Crocodile's left arm instantly elemental transformed, increasing his attack range a little.
Because of the increase in the distance, Lynn, who had successfully avoided the hook, once again entered his attack range.
But then again, the "attack range" this thing is mutual.
As soon as the hook hit Lynn, Lynn suddenly lifted his right hand in an attempt to grab Crocodile's arm again.
Seeing this situation, Crocodile immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Lynn’s monster-like physical strength left him with an indelible impression. If he really caught him again this time, it wouldn’t be as easy to break free as it was when he was "shaking hands". !
"Never let him get close!"
Thinking of this, Crocodile immediately elemental transformed his whole body, turning it into a sandstorm, retreating a few steps, and gathering human again not far away form.
Looking around all around, Crocodile couldn't help but browse tightly knit.
The structure of Inside the palace is too complicated, and the space that can be moved is too small, and it is easy for Lynn to get close.
Besides, Crocodile doesn’t want to fight Alabasta for ruining the palace, so fighting here is definitely not a wise move
Turn his trembling right hand back and hide it under his robe , Crocodile said with a sneer to Lynn:
"Hey, this is the royal palace after all. Fighting here will cause trouble for people, are you really here to help?"
"Of course.".
Lynn nodded, retracted the fighting posture he had just put on.
After all, he just came to Alabasta, if he demolished Vivi's house the first time he met, that would be a bit inappropriate.
"Hehe, it's really interesting."
Crocodile laughed in a low voice, and then said to Cobra on the side: "I'm going to rest. Remember to call me when I leave for the trade tomorrow. "
But just when Crocodile was about to leave the palace, Lynn suddenly said: "Hey, eight thousand and one, right hand, go back and remember to apply a cold compress, otherwise it will be swollen tomorrow!"
Crocodile: "..."
Then he turned and left without saying a word.
On the other side, Lynn, under Cobra's arrangement, enjoyed a royal supper at Alabasta.
In the meantime, Cobra also wanted to ask Lynn if he had any feasts with Crocodile, but Lynn's mouth was filled with food, and Cobra couldn't hear what he said.
One hour later, in the astonished eyes of Cobra and Iqalem, Lynn ate a three-point full and returned to the room arranged for him by Iqalem.
In the room, Lynn found a note, inviting him to take a trip to the desert on the outskirts of Albana.
Lynn couldn't help grinning Issho, saying that Crocodile is indeed a careerist who is good at figuring people's hearts.
How can you not go to such an interesting thing?
Immediately, Lynn turned the window and jumped out from the upper floor. After leaving the Imperial Palace, he asked the residents of Albana for directions. Finally, it took half an hour to arrive at the note. Piece of desert.
At this time, the person who left the note, Crocodile, had been waiting for a long time.
"he he he he, Lynn Barek, I knew you would come."
Crocodile said softly with a smile: "You are extremely confident, even confident to the point of arrogance Man, you don’t need any strategy to deal with people like you. As long as you leave a message, you will definitely come here."
Lynn eyebrows raised, "So you want to say this is yours Conspiracy?"
"Wrong." Crocodile corrected: "This is a conspiracy."
"hahahahahaha!"
hearing this, Lynn couldn't help it. said with a big smile: "Then eight thousand and one, what is your purpose for inviting me here?"
"It's very simple."
Crocodile stretched out himself just now The right hand, which has been iced, still has a little redness and swelling on it.
"It was the first round just now. I admit that I lost."
Crocodile dropped the right hand and transformed it into a sharp gravel machete after elemental transformation.
"Now--"
He spit out a puff of smoke with his cigar in his mouth.
"Let’s start the second round."
