Chapter 33 ' Warlord vs Rookie

'Crocodile! ' Luffy roared as he reformed from lightning not too far from the oasis of Rainbase. His Haki-coated fist slammed into the sand cloud that was his enemy. Crocodile reformed against his will as he rocketed into the sand and kicked up a large plume of grit and dust.

'Gah! ' Crocodile hacked as he felt the pain radiate from his back. 'I 'm really going to enjoy this, brat. ' He stood up and turned to face the Rookie.
