Ep 122. Sand Croc and Water Luffy! the Second Round of the Duel!

As the second round of the duel continues, Luffy faces off against Crocodile in a battle of sand and water. Crocodile unleashes his Sand Storm technique, creating a maelstrom of sand that threatens to engulf Luffy. However, Luffy counters with his own water-based attacks, using his stretching ability to manipulate the liquid and hurl it at Crocodile with deadly force. The two combatants are evenly matched, their powers clashing in a whirlwind of sand and water.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew search for the imprisoned Princess Vivi, hoping to rescue her before the final showdown between Luffy and Crocodile. They navigate the treacherous underground catacombs of Alabasta, dodging traps and battling fierce enemies along the way. But their progress is slow, and time is running out.

Back in the arena, Luffy unleashes his ultimate technique, the Gomu Gomu no Pistol, and sends a powerful shockwave of water crashing into Crocodile. But to everyone's shock, the attack has no effect - Crocodile's sand-based powers have rendered him impervious to Luffy's attacks. In a desperate move, Luffy douses himself in water and charges at Crocodile, determined to end the battle once and for all. With lightning-fast reflexes, Crocodile counters Luffy's attack and slams him into the ground.

As the crowd watches in horror, it seems that Luffy is down for the count. But then, to everyone's surprise, Luffy appears to melt into water and disappear. In reality, he has used his elastic powers to escape Crocodile's grasp and launch a surprise attack. With a flurry of punches and kicks, Luffy pummels Crocodile into submission and emerges victorious.

In the final scene, the crew reunites with Vivi and prepares to leave Alabasta. But as they set sail, they are pursued by the mysterious organization known as Baroque Works, who are determined to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates once and for all. The stage is set for an epic confrontation that will determine the fate of the crew and the future of the kingdom of Alabasta.
