  Coby turo Vivi, both knew what was i. "Let’s get you somewhere safe." They made their way to the pani, a secure location deep within the pace. Ohey arrived, Coby ehe room was secure before fag Vivi.

  "Stay here," Coby instructed. "I’ll take care of Crocodile and e back for you."

  Vivi, despite her , nodded. But before he could leave, she grabbed his arm, pulling him into a tight embrace. Her lips brushed against his cheek in a soft kiss. "Please be careful, Coby," she whispered, her voice ced with worry. "e bae."

  Coby grinned, a pyful glint in his eyes. " you give me something to e back for?"

  Vivi blushed, her pout adding to the tension as she gnced away. "Coby... it is not the time."

  Coby, however, wasn’t about to let her slip into worry. He gently held her face, his thumb brushing against her cheek. "e on, Vivi. I waste a minute or two for you."

  Her eyes flicked ba, with surprise and something else. She hesitated but then leaned in, her lips brushing against his in a quick, shy kiss. It was brief, but enough to make her cheeks burn a deeper shade of red.

  Coby grinned, leaning in just a bit closer. "See? That wasn’t so hard."

  Vivi rolled her eyes, trying to hide her smile. "Just e back safe, okay?"

  "I will," Coby promised, his tone light. He let her go and turo leave the pani. No more time to waste.

  oved swiftly through the pace, stig to the shadows as he navigated the winding corridors. He avoided the pace guards and Baroque Works agents with ease, relying on his speed and agility. His goal was clear: reach the Tomb of the Kings where the Poneglyph was hidden. If his timing was right, Crocodile and Robin would already have taken Cobra there.

  As he approached the entrao the tomb, he could hear faint voices eg through the narrow passageways. Coby slowed his pace, listening carefully as he moved closer to the source of the sound. The stone walls amplified the voices, making it easier to pick out what was being said.

  Crocodile's deep voice carried through the chamber, dripping with arrogaell me! Tell me where the Pluton is, Miss All-Sunday."

  Cobra's voice was strained, filled with pain and defiance. "You won't get away with this, Crocodile. The people of Abasta won't let you."

  Coby crept closer, his steps silent as he finally reached the entrao the tomb. Peering inside, he saw Cobra, bound and kneeling on the floor, his face bruised and bloodied. Crocodile stood over him, the smug look on his face.

  As Robihe Poneglyph aloud, she spun a fabricated tale of a history. Her words were smooth, but the truth was far from what Crocodile sought.

  Crocodile’s patiehinned with every word, his brow furrowing as he realized she was bullshitting him. His hand twitched near his hook. "You bitch," he hissed.

  Robin sehe shift in his tone, her instincts was sharp as always. Without missing a beat, she swiftly reached into her coat and pulled out a small knife and a vial of water. As if she practiced it huimes, she uncorked the vial ahe bde, preparing for the iable battle.

  But Crocodile was faster.

  Before she could react, he appeared behind her. His hook gleamed as it plunged into her back, the metal tearing through flesh and muscle. Robin gasped, the knife slipping from her fingers as blood dripped onto the stone floor.

  "Fuck, I was te," uttered under his breath as he charged forward, his fists and foot soaked with water.

  Crocodile turned just in time to see Coby barreling towards him, his eyes narrowing as he reized the water dripping from Coby’s limbs. The Shichibukai didn’t hesitate; he swung his sand-covered arm at Coby, attempting to disie him with a single swipe.

  But Coby was faster. He ducked uhe attack, sliding across the stone floor and aiming a powerful kick at Crocodile’s torso. His foot ected with a wet thud, the water making tad f Crocodile to solidify. Crocodile grunted, staggering back from the impact, his eyes fshing with rage.

  Coby's foot ected with Crocodile's torso, f the Shichibukai back a few steps. Coby didn’t waste any time. With a swift motioivated Super Heavy Stealth Foot Punch. His weight dropped to 1 kilogram as he closed the distah blinding speed, then surged to 10,000 kilograms just before impact. His fist collided with Crocodile's stomach, sending a shockwave through the room as the blow nded with devastating force.

  Crocodile grunted, his sand form struggling to maintain its cohesion uhe immense weight of the punch. He staggered but quickly recovered, his eyes narrowing as he raised his hook for a terattack. Sand swirled around his arm, f a massive bde aimed directly at Coby.

  Coby dodged to the side, using Stealth Foot to avoid the sand bde. He didn’t stop moving, darting around Crocodile with quick, uable motions. His hands began to detach, the Bara Bara Detach Hand teique in a, as he prepared for his move.

  But Crocodile wasn’t going to go down easily. His Logia powers made him nearly untouchable, and his strength was no joke. As Coby darted around, using his Bara Bara Detach Hand, Crocodile quickly regained his posure. The Shichibukai smirked as he summoned a massive wave of sand.

  "Desert Grande Espada!" Crocodile’s voied through the chamber as a gigantid bde erupted from the floor, slig towards Coby with brutal force.

  Coby reacted fast, detag his hands and ung them at Crocodile while dodging the sand bde with a quick roll. His hands zoomed toward Crocodile, knives in each, spinning wildly with his Shark Dicer teique. The spinning knives sshed through the air, aiming straight for Crocodile.

  Crocodile swiftly dispersed into sand, the knives passing harmlessly through his dissipated form. He reformed a few feet away, eyes narrowed. "You think those cheap tricks will work on me, brat?"

  Coby didn’t respond. Instead, he immediately shifted tactics, switg to his Storm Barrage. Using Stealth Foot, he closed in on Crocodile with near-invisible speed. His detached hands shot out in multiple dires, each armed with knives, and started a relentless attack from all angles.

  Crocodile's eyes flicked left and right as he tried to keep track of the hands. He raised his arm, swirling sand f into a barrier to block the ining strikes. "You’re persistent, I’ll give you that," he sneered, his sand swirling to deflect the barrage of attacks.

  But Coby wasn’t done. He unched a barrage of Uchimizu water darts at Crocodile, droplets of water cutting through the sand and f Crocodile to solidify again. The sand barrier faltered as the water darted through, hitting Crocodile’s arm and making him curse under his breath.

  Coby saw the opening. He lunged forward, redug his weight with Ms. Valentine’s 1 Kilogram Form to enhance his speed. He zipped behind Crocodile and quickly increased his weight to 10,000 kilograms with Super Heavy Stealth Foot Punch, delivering a powerful punch to Crocodile’s back.

  The impact sent Crocodile flying into a stone pilr, shattering it on tact. Crocodile grunted in pain but quickly regained his footing. Sand swirled around him, repairing his damaged form as he gred at Coby.

  "You little shit," Crocodile growled, his eyes filled with murderous i. He raised both hands, the sand around him rising and f into a massive storm. "You want to py rough? Fine, let’s see how you hahis. Sables! Desert Girasole!"

  The grouh Coby's feet suddenly crumbled as sand vortexes pulled him downward. The desert trap expanded rapidly, threatening to swallow him whole.

  Coby reacted quickly, using Stealth Foot to leap out of the colpsing ground and avoid being buried alive. As he nded on solid ground again, he saw Crocodile f atack, this time a massive sand tsunami heading straight for him.

  Coby smirked. "Let's see how you like this!" He unched his Super Heavy Rocket Pistol, detag his hand and redug its weight to 1 kilogram. The hand rocketed forward at incredible speed, heading straight for Crocodile. Just before impact, Coby shifted the weight to 10,000 kilograms, the fist smashing into the sand tsunami with tremendous force.

  The impact shattered the sand wave, dispersing it into harmless grains. Crocodile’s eyes widened in shock as the massive force from Coby’s punch sent ripples through his sand form, f him to momentarily lose trol.

  Coby didn’t let up. He reattached his hand and immediately followed up with Super Heavy Sniper Pistol, this time targeting Crocodile’s core. His hand stretched out with Gomu Gomu no Pistol, detached at the peak of extension, and shot toward Crocodile like a high-speed bullet. The hand’s weight shifted to 10,000 kilograms just before impact, smming into Crocodile’s midse with devastating force.

  Crocodile staggered back, coughing up sand as the blow khe wind out of him. He gred at Coby, his posure finally crag. "You’re more trouble than you’re worth, brat!"

  Coby stayed on the offensive, knowing he couldn’t give Crocodile a ce to recover. He unched himself forward with Tooth on Dart, propelling himself like a torpedht at Crocodile. His speed was unmatched, and Crocodile barely had time to react before Coby on him, knives drawn.

  Crocodile tried to disperse into sand again, but Coby anticipated the move. He unleashed a flurry of Uchimizu water darts, eae pierg through Crocodile’s sand form and f him to solidify. Coby closed the distance, his knives sshing at Crocodile’s exposed body with brutal precision.

  Crocodile grunted in pain as Coby’s bdes cut deep into his flesh. The Shichibukai snarled, his anger boiling over. "Enough of this!" he roared, unleashing a massive Sables attack. A powerful sandstorm erupted from his body, whipping through the chamber and tearing apart everything in its path.

  Coby braced himself against the storm, using his weight manipution to anchor himself to the ground. The sandsted around him, but he stood firm, his eyes locked on Crocodile.

  As the storm began to die down, Crocodile lunged forward, his hook aimed directly at Coby's heart. Coby reacted instantly, raising his arm and blog the attack with his own jitte. The two ons cshed with a loud g, the force of the impact sending shockwaves through the chamber.

  Coby pushed back against Crocodile, put on a show in front of his father-in-w. "You’re not taking this kingdom!" he spat, his voice filled with defiance.

  Crocodile’s sneer widened. "You think you stop me, kid? I’m a Warlord of the Sea. You’re just a small fry!"

  Coby smirked, his grip ote tightening. "I’ve heard that before. But you’re about to find out that uimating me was ygest mistake."

  With a swift motion, Coby twisted his jitte, breaking Crocodile's fake hand and sending his hook flying across the chamber. Crocodile’s eyes widened in shock as his on cttered to the ground.

  Coby didn’t give him a ce to recover. He unleashed a final barrage of Uchimizu water darts, eae hitting Crocodile with pinpoint accuracy. The Shichibukai stumbled back, his body shaking as the water sapped his strength.

  Coby raised his fist, aiming to deliver the final blow. "This is for Abasta!" he shouted, ung forward with Super Heavy Stealth Foot Punch. His weight shifted, speed ramped up, and his fist hurtled towards Crocodile.

  But just before it nded, Crocodile's body dissolved into sand. A hidden knife shot out from the base of his shattered hook, slick with poison. Coby's momentum carried him forward untrolbly. Ag fast, he threw out his hand using Gomu Gomu Pistol towards a nearby pilr. His arm stretched, ing around it to yank himself away, but the kill grazed his side.

  "Fuck you!" Coby hissed, feeling the poison start to seep in. He didn’t have time to he wound; Crocodile wasn’t giving up that easily. "It’s time to end this!"

  Crocodile reformed a few feet away, his sand swirling dangerously. "You think you take me down, brat? I’m not going to fall to a lowlife like you!"

  Coby didn’t respond with words. Instead, he shifted his focus, unleashing a Bara Bara Storm Barrage. His hands detached, each holding a knife, spinning rapidly as they flew towards Crocodile from multiple angles. Coby dashed forward, his feet moving with Stealth Foot as he closed the distance, adding to the relentless assault.

  Crocodile raised a wall of sand to block the knives, but Coby’s speed was too much. The bdes sliced through the sand barrier, f Crocodile to solidify again to avoid further damage. Coby took advantage of the opening, smming into Crocodile’s side with a swift Uchimizu strike, sending droplets of water cutting through Crocodile’s form.

  "Annoying little—" Crocodile spat, f a sandstorm around them. The wind picked up, whipping sand in every dire. The storm roared, threatening to swallow Coby whole. But he wasn’t bag down.

  With his hand still attached to the pilr, Coby used the momentum to slingshot himself through the storm. He shot towards Crocodile with a Super Heavy Rocket Pistol, his fist detached and hurtling at full speed.

  Seeing an opportunity, Coby unched a Shark Dicer. He detached his hands again, knives in each, and spun rapidly towards Crocodile. The bination of his speed and the slig kore through the air, aiming directly for Crocodile’s vulnerable spots.

  Crocodile’s eyes widened in shock as Coby’s knives found their mark. He staggered back, sand leaking from the cuts. "Damn you!" Crocodile snarled, but before he could retaliate, Coby was already in motion again.

  Coby shifted gears, deg to mix it up with Super Heavy Sniper Pistol. Stretg his left arm with Gomu Gomu no Pistol, he detached his hand at the peak of extension. The detached hand shot towards Crocodile like a bullet, the weight shifting to 10,000 kilograms just before impact. Finally, as Crocodile faltered as blow ected with Crocodile’s chest, jaw, head, everywhere really. The impact sent him sprawling to the ground. Crocodile y there, defeated.

  Coby stood over him, panting, blood dripping from the wound on his side. He clutched his injured area but didn’t let himself colpse. Not yet.

  "It’s over," uttered, his voice rough. He didn’t wait for Crocodile to respond. Instead, he turned and started to walk away, knowing the Shichibukai was finished.
