"What the hell just happened?! Hamr, what did that dagger of yours do to him?!"
Lance stared in utter shock at the stunning woman before him, completely thrown off.
Hamr wasn't doing much better. He had only wanted to test his blade; he never imagined sothing like this would happen.
'Holy crap... that's Crocodile?'
'She's too gorgeous...'
"She's stunning..." Even Shirley, a woman herself, was practically in awe.
She's got full-on dominant lady vibes now.
'What happened to the trench coat and slicked-back hair of Crocodile? Why does he no, she now looks like a glamorous cri boss lady from a Hong Kong film?'
'Oh my God.'
"Do you rember that odd-colored mineral in the warehouse?"
"That dagger was forged using that stone. And during forging, it was sohow imbued with a power called mutation. I thought it would turn people into monsters at most."
"How was I supposed to know it would change soone's gender?!"
Everyone, including the Marines, Crocodile, and his own crew, was completely dumbfounded.
The once-proud and fearso Crocodile had been struck once by Hamr, and just like that, he transford into... Her.
"YOU DAMN MARINES! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Her rage ca out in a shrill soprano; her voice was so high-pitched. It pierced through everyone's eardrums.
"Uh... Old Croc-no, wait, Little Croc-"
"Nope, that's not right either. Lady Crocodile.. Yeah, that works."
"Lady Crocodile, look, I swear I didn't an to!"
Hamr had no idea how to face Ke Luoke Da'er.
"I'LL KILL YOU! COWARDS, UNLOCK THESE HANDCUFFS!"
"AHHH!"
Her fury painted her cheeks FLUSH, making the nearby Marines gulp nervously.
"Lanc, unlock her handcuffs! Wait, no, DON'T unlock-"
"OW! Damn it!"
"Lance, are you stupid?!"
Before anyone could stop him, the clueless Lance, acting on instinct from Hamr's first shout, pulled out the key and unlocked the Seastone cuffs on Crocodile.
"Wait… why did I just unlock her?"
"TAKE COVER!!"
Freed from the Seastone's suppression, Crocodile exploded with power.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
"GROUND DEATH!!"
Boom, total mayhem. Her slender hands pressed against the ground, summoning a terrifying storm of sand, sucking up every drop of moisture around.
Even nearby coconut trees were drained.
"Damn it! Everyone retreat! Forget the pirates, save yourselves!"
"Lance! Shirley! Get the hose from the ship, prep for water spray!"
"Chest-Shattering Hamr!"
To cover his soldiers' retreat, Hamr used his powers to shatter the ground beneath them, halting Ground Death's spread.
"You turned into this, I'LL KILL YOU! AND EVERYONE WHO SAW LIKE THIS!"
"DIE!! I'LL TURN YOU ALL INTO MUMMIES!!"
Crocodile unleashed the full horror of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
Its core power is desiccation. It could drain moisture from anything, organics, rocks, or soil, turning them into dust.
Even her own pirate crew wasn't spared.
"Boss! We're your crew!"
"AAAAH!"
Chased down by the Ground Death, her subordinates no longer admired her stunning beauty; they just ran for their lives.
"You saw what you shouldn't have. That's enough reason to DIE."
A sandstorm engulfed all her pirates. When it cleared, they were all mummified corpses.
This is the true power of a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit.
"Damn... she didn't even spare her own n?"
"Lady Crocodile, you're terrifying!"
Hamr's teasing voice cut through the chaos, fueling her rage.
"MY NA IS SIR CROCODILE! NOT LADY CROCODILE!"
"DIE, MARINES! DESERT SPADA!!"
A giant blade of sand shot toward Hamr.
"Hold on! Let explain"
"Tekkai!"
Hamr didn't fight back. He knew he was in the wrong.
He simply tanked the hit using Tekkai.
After all, this was Crocodile, a candidate for the Warlords of the Sea. Hamr never liked him, but still...
Now that he had accidentally gender-swapped the guy, what could he do?!
"I WON'T LISTEN! I'LL GRIND YOU TO DUST!"
"Desert la Spada!!"
Failing the first hit, she followed up with a deadlier move, turning her hands into four massive sand blades with fan-shaped edges. Even thick stone walls couldn't withstand them.
This ti, Hamr didn't dare go easy.
"Big Hamr 80!"
He swung his hamr, neutralizing the attack.
"Lance! Shirley! Are you done over there?! Hurry up!"
Without the Seastone suppression, Crocodile was going all out, and Hamr couldn't use Armant Haki to beat her up without feeling even guiltier.
"We got it!"
"Catch!"
Shirley ran over with a hose and spray nozzle.
"Hamring of the Soul!"
Another strike attack landed, stunning Crocodile just long enough for Hamr to turn the valve and blast her with water.
This was the Sand-Sand Fruit's weakness: water and liquid. It prevented her from turning into sand or elentalizing.
Even worse for her, the hose was connected straight to the ocean.
Saltwater was sprayed all over her.
"DAMN YOU, MARINES!!"
The instant seawater touched her, Crocodile lost all strength and powers. She was furious... but utterly helpless.
Soaked from head to toe, her drenched clothes clung to her body.
Now Hamr was even more flustered.
"Shirley! Handcuffs! Quick!"
"I can't... I'm out of strength..."
Lance sighed, snatching the cuffs and charging at the drenched Crocodile.
"You're a Devil Fruit user too, idiot! Why'd you touch the Seastone?!"
Clack!
The cuffs clicked shut on her wrists. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn you, mar-"
Thunk!
Crocodile passed out. Lance gave Hamr a helpless look.
Hamr still held his fist out; it was his Face Hamr that knocked her out. Just enough force to make her faint.
"Bring Lady Crocodile aboard. We're leaving!"
Thus ended the battle, with Crocodile transford into a woman, and he being all wiped out.
