One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet! Novel

Chapter 67 - 67 - Awakening?


“Have you had enough laughing?”

“No one ever told you right? Then let me tell you, the way you laugh is very ugly!”

Will pulled off the sleeveless short shirt he was wearing and moved his injured arm twice.

“I hope you’ll still be so tough-mouthed when I suck you dry and bury you in the sand!”

Crocodile snorted with an ugly look!

“No one can beat me in this desert! It’s my home turf!”

Crocodile opened his hands and looked very arrogant, and he has the capital to be arrogant!

“Your home turf?”

Will looked at his surroundings and spoke in an unusually sarcastic tone!

Then he slowly reached out his left hand and rubbed it over the white devil fruit on the Infinity Gauntlet…

“Now you tell me again, whose home turf is this!”

The white light that symbolizes the fruit of the candle shone a thousand times brighter than earlier!

And everything around Will starts to distort!

The white wax rapidly spread from Will’s feet to the surroundings as Crocodile looked on it in shock!

And in the next second, the yellow dead desert is assimilated in a flash into a white candle!

This is the…

“The Devil’s Fruit… Awakening?!”

For the first time, Crocodile was horrified!

He has been working on developing the power of his Devil Fruit in order to reach the awakened state, so it is impossible for him not to recognise what all this means in front of him!

But how is that possible!

Isn’t that candle fruit Mr.3 ability?

Just now when Will used the candle wall to resist the sandstorm, he had suspected, but he only suspected that it was a similar ability. After all, there are various kinds of devil fruits and there are upper and lower ranks, and it is not surprising that there are similar abilities.

But what about now?

It’s only a few days ago before he received the news of Mr. 3 death, and even if Will find his Devil fruit coincidentally, how can he awaken it in just a few days after eating!?

The Elementalized floating Crocodile in the air was in a state of confusion and doubt!

Is it easy to awaken a devil fruit?

Or don’t tell me I am inferior to this kid!

At this time, Will had already completed the replacement of Crocodile ‘home turf’, and looked at Crocodile and the’ocean’ that had all turned into candles within a range of four kilometers under his feet.

This was Will’s ungodly ability obtained from the Infinity Gauntlet!

Forcibly stimulate the energy of the devil’s fruit for a period of time to complete its awakening!

But the disadvantages of it was during the ‘Awakening’ period, all other Devil Fruit abilities cannot be used.

And after that, the Devil Fruit that triggered the ‘Awakened’ state will also fall into a 24-hour ‘recovery period’!

During this period, even the most basic devil fruit ability cannot be used!

But even if this trick has all kinds of drawbacks, it is still a trump card that can change the situation of the battle!

Just like now!

The use time of the ‘Awakening’ state is linked to Will’s physical and mental strength, and after feeling the consumption, Will felt that he could maintain this state for a little more than 3 minutes.

So… Let’s make it quick!

And this is the real advantage of home turf! 

Because, as soon as Will waved his hand, two white candle dragons condensed and ferociously bite towards Crocodile!

Crocodile swung two strikes of the Desert Blade directly at the dragon to slice it apart, but the dragon that was sliced into two didn’t lose its momentum as it ‘crash’ right into him!

And when the Candle dragon lost its form, Crocodile who got hit by it was having a hard time elementelizing himself as he was covered with wax liquid!

And he stares at Will with a bloodshot eye!

He tried to absorb the water from the wax liquid with his right hand, but there was no water in the candle…

Water can be a liquify, but not all liquids contain water, and it was obvious that Crocodile had never taken a chemistry course.

The sticky wax liquid stuck to his body, making it impossible for part of his body to be elementalized again for a while.

And it was precisely because of this that Will chose this devil fruit to  ‘Awaken’!

“Wax Rain!”

Will stomped the ground with his right foot, and the sea of candles sprayed directly into the sky then felled and rained it down!

In the face of such a shameless attack, Crocodile seemed to be unable to do anything unless he chose to escape directly!

But as arrogant as him, he even dismissed Doflamingo invitation. And when he appeared in the war, he even wants to take white beard head and face an admiral directly!

How could such a Crocodile choose to run away without a fight against a ‘Small’ pirate with a bounty of only 50 million?

Since the ability to elementalize is no longer possible, just discard it!

And chose to fight his enemy with close combat that he is not good at!

He first used a sand sword to open the way, as he cut the sea of ​​candles blocking his way, and then rushed straight in the direction of Will!

Seeing this situation, how could Will, who had always been afraid of the ability of his right hand, do what he wants!

“Giant soldier Wax!”

A ten-meter tall candle giant wrapped Will in the very core and stood up!

The wax on Crocodile body has been controlled by Will’s ability to prevent him from solidifying, so that even without Haki, Will is able to harm him!

A condescending blow from the Wax Giant was dodged by Crocodile, followed by two strikes from the Desert Blade in return.

The sharp Desert Blade can indeed cut through the candle’s defences, but it’s simply impossible to cut it off with a single blow!

So Will controlled the sea of candles for replenishment while continuing to chase after Crocodile.

Having lost the flexibility of elementalization, the proud Crocodile is like a tiny worm that could be crushed by a ‘giant’ foot at any moment!

Just after he evaded Will’s attack with difficulty once again, and then successfully cut off an arm of the giant wax soldier.

Dozens of ice blades made of candles were aimed at him and rushed towards him!

“A Treasures of House Wax!”

This move was a joke that Will pirated from a certain blond guy’s idea, but it managed to hit Crocodile hard at the very moment he had nowhere to hide!

Although Crocodile had tried his best to resist and evade, he was unable to elementalized, so he was still pierced through his right arm and left leg by two spears made of wax one after the other!

And this is already the result of his efforts to avoid them!

His blood fell drop by drop…

Crocodile face was gloomy and terrible, as he could not have imagined that he would lose here!

Unwilling to give up, he threw the last sandstorm, but without the addition of external sand, it is ridiculous for him to want it to form a large destructive power!

Will just controlled the sea of wax to create a huge wave and completely drowned it!

With the passage of time, Will’s physical strength finally reached the bottom.

So he no longer hesitated and used “The Treasure of House Wax!” again.

Hundreds of wax weapons, stronger than steel, are headed straight for Crocodile!

Although it might offend Whitebeard, he was willing to bear the consequences for Crocodile Logia Devil Fruit!

“What an opponent to be reckoned with…”

“The sea… It is going to change again…”

At the last moment of his life, Crocodile recognized his opponent and murmured softly.

Crocodile, who had an injured arm and leg and was still unable to elementalize, could only watch as hundreds of weapons drowned him…
