Chapter 216 Turning Your Back on Everyone
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump.....
In the mid-air of Rainbase.
Sig's footsteps didn't stop, but instead gradually sped up.
With each step, his heartbeat became more and more rapid and dense.
Sig raised his head in the air and looked at the giant sandstorm that almost occupied his entire field of vision.
This sandstorm almost covered the originally clear sky, and the whole world was darkened.
Wherever it went, houses collapsed into sand, and the broken walls and rubble were swept into the sky again.
In front of this indestructible sandstorm, Sig felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
And he... still had to move forward.
This was even more oppressive than when he faced Hawkeye Mihawk.
No matter how strong Hawkeye was, he was at least a person.
This overwhelming sandstorm simply made people unable to muster the courage to move forward. Just looking at it would make people feel fear.
This was no longer Crocodile's ability, but a natural disaster that human power could not resist.
At the same time, Sig had to constantly dodge the gravel and rubble flying in the air...
The Emperor Engine had already broken through the limits of the past, beating at a speed that made people's scalp tingle.
This sound was not loud compared to the howling wind.
But it had a strange penetrating power, faintly echoing in this city.
.......
Inside the giant sand tornado.
Crocodile, who had already transformed into his element, glanced in Sig's direction, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"You've got guts."
"Even I can't control the sandstorm now, I want to see how you will face it?"
This kind of natural disaster-level sandstorm that could destroy a city was far beyond Crocodile's control.
Crocodile could only guide the direction of the sandstorm by transforming himself into sand and merging into it.
On the periphery of the sand tornado, the sand dancing wildly in the sky moved according to his will, rushing towards Sig in the howling wind.
......
Near the streets of the Rain Dinners Casino.
King Cobra stood behind a wall with a grim face, looking at the sky-covering sand tornado in the distance.
"How could this happen? Such a big sand tornado suddenly appeared?"
Weather like sandstorms was actually not uncommon in the Alabasta Kingdom.
Ordinary sandstorms could be avoided by hiding indoors.
But the giant sandstorm in front of him now, houses and buildings would be blown away and collapsed, and there was no safe place.
"Igaram, Pell! Hurry up and evacuate the people, organize them to take refuge..."
Cobra immediately spoke, but his face was still solemn.
Take refuge? Where to take refuge?
This was a terrifying sandstorm that swept across the whole city, where could it be safe?
When Cobra was anxious, he suddenly felt something and suddenly looked up.
It wasn't just him, many people who were fleeing also looked up at the sky.
At this time, the visibility was extremely low, and the whole world was as dark as night.
They could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a... running figure in the air?
The direction of that figure's running was completely opposite to the direction of the people fleeing, extremely conspicuous, and it was actually heading straight for the sand tornado that connected the sky and the earth?
"What is that?"
Everyone was puzzled.
But in the faint sound of the Emperor Engine, they subconsciously felt a little more at ease, and their fear receded slightly.
Another street.
A building was already shaky under this sandstorm, completely overwhelmed, and finally collapsed, falling towards the street.
But at the moment when the building was about to fall on the heads of the people, a layer of ice spread rapidly on the wall at an extremely fast speed, freezing the entire collapsed building into a giant ice sculpture.
"Your king is on the street opposite, hurry up."
Aokiji retracted his hands from the wall and said to the stunned people.
He turned his head, looked at the sand tornado in the distance, and his face became solemn.
At this moment, his face had completely lost the leisure and casualness of before.
As the user of the Hie Hie no Mi, Vice Admiral Aokiji could easily freeze the sea on the sea surface and condense thick ice.
But in this relatively dry desert city, although he could also condense the moisture in the air and create ice with his bare hands, the difficulty was much greater.
But facing the sky-covering sandstorm in the desert city, Aokiji didn't have much confidence that he could stop it, and could only try his best to save the people first.
Suddenly, he also felt something in his heart and looked up at the figure in the air.
"Is it Moonwalk? No."
A few surprises appeared in Aokiji's eyes.
Moonwalk is a physical technique that can step on the air, but the figure in the air was completely walking on flat ground.
This unscientific air walk was simply like a BUG appearing in the real world, with a strong sense of incongruity.
Not only that.
When pieces of sand and gravel swept towards Sig in the air, Aokiji saw a scene that he would never forget.
Sig's body suddenly turned into an S shape at this moment.
Not a curvy S shape, but an S shape from the front view.
Sig's upper body suddenly bent to the left, but his lower body twisted in the opposite direction.
Maintaining such a strange posture, Sig's footsteps were still getting faster and faster, running into a whirlwind, and becoming a blur.
Sig's body sometimes formed an S shape, sometimes a B shape, and sometimes directly twisted into a spiral, arbitrarily changing into various shapes in the air.
"Is it some kind of strange ability user? What does he want to do?" Aokiji was surprised.
King Cobra's face showed surprise, and he had already regarded Sig as a life-saving straw.
"It's an ability user! Could it be a passing strong person who wants to stop this sandstorm?"
At this moment, many people gradually noticed the running Sig.
But the sky was too dark, and they could only see a blurry back, facing away from everyone, approaching the storm step by step in the air.
......
Inside the casino's secret room.
Fujitora, who was constantly slashing at the Seastone prison chair, suddenly paused.
He closed his eyes and looked at the one-way mirror in front of him.
In front of the terrifying sandstorm, he saw a small figure running towards the sandstorm in the air.
Among the fleeing refugees, this figure in the opposite direction was extremely conspicuous.
"Is it Sig?"
Surprise appeared on Fujitora's face.
He suddenly remembered Baldy's righteous remarks about Sig just now.
Fujitora was silent for a moment, and the speed of waving his cane sword accelerated again.
On the prison chair, fine cracks had appeared on the metal bars mixed with Seastone.
