Chapter 20: CH20 Crocodile's Debut
BONUS CHAPTER FOR 250 POWER STONES
------------------
The female ninja inserted her hand into the back of her neck and pulled out a two-meter-long white bone chain.
This bone lock is the spine of the female ninja, linked by chakra to connect with each bone. It can transform into a spear, chain, or long sword at will.
The bone collar resembles a long white snake with three rows of jagged-like bone spurs. If caught accidentally, countless holes will pierce the body.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Unexpectedly, the female ninja of the Kaguya clan abandoned Vergo and attacking Shimizu Akihiro. Kitano Ichiro exclaimed and quickly turned around to block her attack on Shimizu Akihiro, activating the power of the devil fruit to turn selected parts of his body into steel blades.
"Keng! Klang!"
The female ninja's bone locks aren't bone spurs that go straight forward. The first section was blocked by Kitano Ichiro, and the bone locks at the tail directly tied up Kitano Ichiro. If it weren't for several important parts of his body turned into steel by Kitano Ichiro, this move might have killed him.
"Hmph, idiot."
Seeing her bone lock blocked, the female ninja sneered, released it, pulled out another bone blade, and approached Shimizu Akihiro.
"Damn it. Your Highness!"
Kitano Ichiro didn't expect the female ninja to ignore him and only focus on Shimizu Akihiro. His face changed, but he couldn't escape quickly, the bone lock no longer connected to the chakra, but the bone spurs were still embedded.
"A weakling without the courage to escape."
Looking at Shimizu Akihiro seemingly petrified, the female ninja smiled cruelly, stabbing the bone blade toward his throat. Suddenly, she noticed Shimizu Akihiro's mocking smile, making her wary.
However, seeing Shimizu Akihiro's vital point close, the female ninja gritted her teeth and continued charging.
When the bone blade was inches from Shimizu Akihiro's throat, she realized she couldn't get closer.
'What?!"
She looked at the rough hand on her arm, startled, and saw Crocodile's terrifying face.
"Do you think you can kill His Highness in front of me?"
Crocodile said coldly, grabbing the female ninja's arm.
"Erosion!"
"What happened?!"
The bone spur stopped advancing, surprising the female ninja. She found her chakra couldn't flow to her arm. Looking carefully, her arms were dry as a withered branch, with the withering spreading towards her body.
"Ah!"
"My arm!"
Screaming, she tried to retreat but couldn't move. Her legs were stuck to the ground by a pile of sand.
"No! Please stop!"
Seeing her body withering away, the female ninja began to plead, hoping that Crocodile would let her go, but she received no response from Crocodile at all.
Gradually, the female ninja's voice became weaker, and finally her body turned into a dark brown mummy.
The ninjas in the distance also heard the screams of the female ninja. When they looked here, there was only one mummy left. They also guessed that it was their companion. They looked at the companion who looked even more miserable than the short ninja before. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Damn! It's an elite Jonin of Sunagakure Village. Evacuate quickly and report the situation here to the clan head as soon as possible."
Kaguya Yuto was paying attention to this side the whole time. Seeing that Crocodile was able to use the yellow sand to imprison his companions without any seals, Kaguya Yuto's eyes were filled with deep fear, and he immediately urged his companions.
"What? An elite Jonin-level shinobi from Sunagakure?!!"
Several ninjas from the Kaguya clan trembled when they heard Kaguya Yuto's warning. Their faces were full of disbelief. How could the Suna ninja come here?
And he is still in contact with the descendant of the Daimyo of Land of Water. Does the Land of Wind want to directly bypass the Land of Fire and attack the Land of Water?
"Do the guys from the Land of Wind want to start a war? How dare they send Suna Shinobis to interfere in internal affairs of the Land of Water?"
The expressions of the members of the Kaguya clan changed greatly. You must know that under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the ninjutsu that the Suna ninja is proud of to exert its full power in the Land of Water. In addition, the Land of wind and the Land of water have the distance spans almost the entire Ninja Continent. Since ancient times, there has almost never been a case of Sand Ninja appearing in the Land of Water. But no matter what, this is all just their speculation. Now their top priority is to get out of here quickly.
(TN: The author said there were no conflicts b/w Land of Wind and Land of Water, he probably doesn't remember Pakura got sacrificed by Suna to ease their conflict with Kiri and I believe that the conflicts were mainly from the 2nd Great War)
Looking at Vergo and Crocodile, who were squatting on the ground and looking at them with a smile, the remaining members of the Kaguya clan couldn't help but tremble, and they were all ready to escape from here.
"You guys want to leave now? It's too late."
Seeing those people trying to escape, Crocodile laughed mockingly.
Seeing Crocodile's smile, the members of the Kaguya clan subconsciously had a bad premonition, and the bad premonition became more and more serious. When they raised their legs to leave, they found that the slate land under their feet had turned into yellow sand.
