Chapter 2494 The Sand Crocodile's Unusual Observation Haki!
Cracker suffered a crushing defeat in the Marineford War because he could not endure the pain.
There were even reports of people fainting from the pain.
Like a muffled thunderclap, it caused quite a stir within the military.
But more than anything, it was a feeling of disappointment and frustration that the iron was not living up to its potential.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the Supreme Military Command was somewhat somber.
"well----"
Raymond sighed first, breaking the silence, and said, "Such talent, yet ruined by something like this, why is that?"
He couldn't understand how Big Mom's son could have such a ridiculous problem.
He also possesses exceptional talent, and as the tenth son, his strength far surpasses that of his many older brothers.
Previously, only Katakuri dared to claim he could surpass him.
Kyrie Irving and Dafoe have only recently caught up.
With his arms crossed, sharp eyes, and a firm tone, he commented:
"Being unable to endure pain means being unable to bear the damage and costs that inevitably occur in a battle between strong individuals."
"Such a general is destined to only win battles when things are going well and bully the weak."
"Once they encounter an equally matched or even stronger opponent, they will collapse instantly."
"He is not worthy of the rank of general."
"If they weren't quite capable, the general would have to be considered for removal."
"Otherwise, it will become a disgrace to the Army Headquarters and even the world government in the future."
Zephyr remained expressionless and silent, showing no concern whatsoever for Cracker.
As the chief instructor who once taught naval elites.
He has seen too many geniuses, and he has also seen these geniuses fade into obscurity for various reasons.
He said calmly, "Perhaps Lingling has a solution. I'll find some time to talk to her."
After a brief moment of regret.
The conversation naturally turned back to Crocodile.
"In contrast."
"Crocodile's close-combat abilities this time are astonishing."
Zefa suddenly spoke, his face revealing undisguised admiration.
"He was already busy cultivating natural energy, and recently he has also been studying alchemy."
"They even have the energy to hone their domineering aura and physical skills to this extent!"
"It seems that even without using the Sand-Sand Fruit's power, his Haki and physical skills alone are enough to defeat most admirals."
"At most, it will just take a little more effort and time."
With a halo of light emanating from behind his head, Zhan Guo rested his hands on either side of the sofa, his deep eyes gleaming with insightful light.
"More importantly, it's his Observation Haki."
"Did you notice how he charged into the Biscuit Army alone?"
"Even when surrounded by thousands of soldiers, he always managed to evade all attacks by the slightest margin."
"Including the biscuit arrows that were shot at us and the biscuit spikes that Cracker made."
“Every move and counterattack he made was as precise as if it had been rehearsed.”
"His ability to 'predict the future' must have reached an extremely high level."
After finishing his statement, the Warring States period paused, then made a surprising judgment.
"I estimate that Crocodile can now clearly predict the time, which is close to ten seconds."
This judgment slightly moved the four people present: Sora, Zephyr, Tsuru, and Raymond.
The ability of Observation Haki to foresee the future is such that beginners can usually only foresee the future within two or three seconds.
Being able to predict five or six seconds ahead already makes one one of the best.
A ten-second prediction falls into the highest category.
This means that most of his opponent's movements are almost transparent to him.
Going further up, that goes beyond the level of a regular general and touches upon a higher realm.
"Not only that."
Sengoku continued his analysis for everyone: "Crocodile's Observation Haki range is also extremely impressive."
"Enel's ability to cover a wide area is due to the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"But Crocodile doesn't seem to be using the Sand-Sand Fruit's ability to sense sand."
"How did he do it?"
Crane pondered thoughtfully, "Perhaps it's related to his alchemy studies."
"It is said that alchemy requires a high level of mental strength."
"Perhaps he unconsciously honed his Observation Haki."
"Of course, this is just speculation. Only he himself probably knows the specific reason."
Region RL1111 has become a special dimension.
The magical phenomenon of time travel has disappeared.
The environment affected by the fierce battle between Cracker and Crocodile.
It has returned to its original, empty state.
This is no longer an abandoned city.
The two fought their way to the easternmost coast of the mainland.
In fact, Crocodile, as the challenger, could have chosen his own starting location.
For example, the natural desert to the west—I doubt anyone would say much about that.
But he didn't make that move at all.
He simply stands wherever the fight takes him, waiting for the next challenger.
Even if you come to a beach that is not in your favor.
Not only that.
The sky had darkened without anyone noticing, and a light drizzle began to fall.
Soon it turned into a continuous curtain of rain, wetting the ground and merging into the increasingly turbulent sea.
Crocodile remained standing in the same spot.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the sudden downpour.
He calmly pulled out his exquisite lighter from his pocket again and lit the Shin-Shukaku cigar he was biting with a snap.
Strangely, all the falling rainwater stopped flowing when it reached within about three meters of his body.
It was as if it had encountered a smooth, invisible barrier, which naturally slid away along the curve, leaving it unable to touch him at all.
Crocodile doesn't care about the rain, but he doesn't like getting wet.
He stood quietly in the rain, only the area around his feet remained dry.
It stands in stark contrast to the damp world outside.
1:30 PM.
A new challenger appeared 100 meters away, braving the rain.
His physique was extremely robust and imposing, with a broad chest, dark skin, and bulging muscles, resembling a moving small mountain.
He was also draped in a jet-black coat of justice.
His gaze was steady yet powerful.
With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
It was Joz.
As Edward Newgate's most powerful son in the military.
Jozu's strength is generally recognized as having reached the level of an admiral.
Many officers watching the match believed that he was the most likely candidate to succeed in the challenge so far.
Even if they cannot defeat Crocodile, they are very likely to survive for five days and five nights.
Army Headquarters.
In the private courtyard of the White Whale General.
In front of the large screen projected by the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone snail).
Edward Newgate, holding a large wine jug in his hand, sat upright in a specially made chair.
At this time, he was surrounded by many of his children who had joined the army.
Teach, one of the challengers, had a calm look in his eyes.
Whitebeard, who just passed the combat capability assessment and was promoted to lieutenant general based on his outstanding performance.
And those who were already lieutenant generals or major generals, such as Bramank, Lakyo, Jingudo, and Fosa.
"Goo la la la!"
Newgate looked at Joz teleporting into the battlefield on the screen, then threw his head back and let out an incredibly hearty laugh.
He then raised the wine jug and took a big gulp, shouting, "Finally, he's here!"
"It would be good if he could get his hands on Crocodile!"
Whitebeard, however, didn't understand his father's meaning and smiled in agreement: "We all know Joz's strength; he will not be defeated easily."
The robust and round-figured Bramank nodded emphatically: "That's right!"
"Jozu's absolute defense isn't so easily broken!"
The others also chimed in, cheering Joz on.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.
Only Teach, holding a cherry pie in his hand, stared at the screen in silence, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.
After watching the previous battles, he couldn't laugh at all, and he didn't think Joz could succeed.
As for myself
