Chapter 34
The Invisible Bomb, Crocodile's Escape

“BOOM!……”

An extremely violent explosion erupted suddenly.

Although it was not as powerful as the previous Tailed Beast Ball explosion, the dazzling light and the surrounding trembling ground indicated that the entire explosion was not to be taken lightly.

“It should be resolved now!……”

Jiang Yu, who was in mid-air, looked down at the countless plumes of smoke rising from the ground.

C3-No. 18, this should be considered a relatively powerful attack method in Deidara’s template. Its powerful explosive power can easily destroy any city.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a sturdy sand shield appeared in front of Jiang Yu.

The sand shield slowly cracked open, and Crocodile emerged unscathed.

“He actually blocked it!? Crocodile can actually use the power of One-Tail to this extent… ”

Seeing Crocodile block his attack, Jiang Yu was also a little surprised.

You know, Jiang Yu had just given Crocodile the power of One-Tail. He hadn’t expected Crocodile to master it so quickly.

Crocodile’s current use of One-Tail Shukaku’s power was no less than that of a Jinchūriki in the Naruto world.

“Hahaha… A member of Akatsuki! You see, this is the power of a Tailed Beast!……”

“With the power of a Tailed Beast, I cannot be defeated…”

“Now, you die!……”

After blocking Jiang Yu’s explosive attack, Crocodile was very excited and began to manipulate the surrounding sand, continuously launching attacks towards Jiang Yu.

Crocodile had never been so excited before.

He had obtained the power of a Tailed Beast, could fight against the Yonko, and had defeated a Marine Admiral.

Crocodile felt that even conquering the Grand Line would be a trivial matter for him.

“Cut… Do you really think you’re invincible just because you’ve obtained the power of a Tailed Beast!?……”

Seeing Crocodile, who was somewhat carried away, Jiang Yu thought to himself with a snide remark.

First of all, Crocodile’s Tailed Beast power was granted by him. He could take it back anytime.

Secondly, the strength of Akatsuki’s member character template was not just that.

Each member who could join Akatsuki possessed extraordinary strength.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu took out a large piece of clay and quickly kneaded it.

Soon, Jiang Yu created a clay doll with the same appearance as Deidara.

“C4·Garuda!……”

Jiang Yu threw it, and after a puff of smoke, the clay doll quickly grew in size and plummeted towards the ground.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the doll did not explode, but instead landed smoothly on the ground.

“The same trick again!? Is this giant doll going to explode too!?……”

Seeing the giant doll in front of him, Crocodile immediately controlled the surrounding sand to gather together, forming a powerful shield.

Through the future videos and a fierce battle, Crocodile already knew very well that the Akatsuki member Deidara’s ability relied on clay to create explosions.

Seeing this giant doll, Crocodile immediately thought that it must be another explosive.

However, Crocodile didn’t care at all. Because he had obtained the power of a Tailed Beast, he possessed incredibly powerful defense capabilities and could easily withstand any explosive attacks.

“Witness my art of explosions!… Ha…”

With a shout from Jiang Yu, the giant clay doll in front of him began to expand rapidly.

“Is it going to explode!……”

Seeing the violently expanding doll, Crocodile became more alert.

Crocodile was very clear that the power of an explosion was directly related to the size of the explosive.

This clay doll was so huge, so the power of the explosion must be incredibly huge.

He had to defend with all his might.

But to Crocodile’s surprise, the giant puppet doll, after expanding to its maximum size, did not explode. Instead, it simply shattered.

It was like a leaking balloon, directly shattering into countless pieces that scattered into the air.

“What’s going on!?… A dud!?……”

Seeing the constantly shattering puppet doll, Crocodile frowned.

He was already prepared to deal with a powerful explosion, so why did it suddenly become a dud?

But did Deidara’s attack really become a dud? It was obviously impossible.

If there was a microscope now, you would see that with the shattering of the giant doll, countless small, invisible bombs were suspended in the air.

These bombs were drifting with the wind.

At that moment, a lizard lying on a rock took a breath of air, and countless tiny bombs entered its body with the breath.

The lizard’s body turned into countless dust particles and disappeared into the air.

Then, several large trees nearby began to collapse and turned into dust.

It was as if an invisible force was wiping out these creatures.

This was the power of Deidara’s C4·Garuda.

It could gradually destroy an entire organism from the inside out, achieving complete annihilation.

“Wait… Something’s not right…”

“Absolute Defense!……”

At this time, Crocodile also sensed that something was wrong and immediately controlled the surrounding sand to form a huge shield.

But an incredible scene appeared before Crocodile’s eyes.

The sturdy shield that he had placed his hopes on was rapidly collapsing.

“What’s going on! Why is my defense failing…”

Seeing the shattering sand shield, Crocodile was also greatly surprised.

At the same time, he controlled the surrounding sand to continuously condense.

But unfortunately, no matter how much he condensed it, the surrounding sand was rapidly collapsing.

It seemed like an invisible force was destroying his defenses.

But that wasn’t the end. After his shield collapsed, one of Crocodile’s arms began to collapse as well, turning into dust and disappearing into the air.

“No… I can’t go on like this! I can’t die here…”

Although Crocodile didn’t know what kind of attack this was.

But he also knew very well that if he continued like this, he would eventually die here.

Obviously, Crocodile didn’t want to die.

He had finally obtained the power of a Tailed Beast and had the strength to challenge and conquer the Grand Line. How could he die here!

Thinking of this, Crocodile turned his head and ran directly to the distance.
