[Boom!]
The sharp blade of sand, almost three ters long, grew even larger as it was released. It tore through the storm and finally exploded with force.
It left a horrible scar hundreds of ters long and several ters deep on Hachioji City.
"I found it..." Crocodile's gaze fell on a point of light inside the crack. The Infinity Castle was too dazzling in the darkness underground.
In the next instant, it turned into a sand cloud again and disappeared into the storm.
Inside Infinity Castle.
Muzan and Gus had stopped fighting due to the sudden violent shaking.
"What's going on?" Muzan frowned and looked dissatisfiedly at Naki, who showed a panicked expression.
"My Lord... there is a sandstorm outside, and the... the earth above us... is opening..." Naki was trying to explain the situation outside Infinity Castle.
[Crack!]
At this mont, a strange cracking sound echoed above their heads. Everyone looked up and was shocked to see that the Infinity Castle was full of cracks.
Imdiately, yellow sand began to fall through the cracks. As the cracks grew larger, more and more sand flowed out.
"So it's him..."
Seeing this scene, Gus imdiately understood what was happening. However, the loss of his right arm filled him with helplessness. He knew that from now on he could only work behind the scenes.
"Naki, get all this sand out of here!" Muzan, seeing that the sand did not stop accumulating, felt a chill run through his body. Instinctively, he knew that he couldn't leave this unresolved.
"Yes!" Naki, following the order, quickly strumd his biwa. Imdiately, in the places where the sand fell, sliding doors appeared out of nowhere.
So doors led to distant towns, others to deep forests. But sothing strange happened. Just as the sand was about to pass through the doors, it seed to gain consciousness and detoured, avoiding the doors.
At the sa ti, the sand began to expand rapidly, blocking the doors completely.
"This..." Naki, Muzan and the other demons were stunned. Suddenly, Kokushibo shouted: "This isn't normal sand, it's so kind of special ability!"
At the sa ti, the sand began to float and rotate in the air. In the blink of an eye, the entire Infinity Castle was filled with sand.
"Kuahahahaha!" At this mont, wanton laughter resounded.
"It's your people!" Muzan imdiately realized that it must be so monster sent by the World Governnt and rushed towards Gus with the intention of devouring him. So he could get all the mories of him and find out who controlled the arena.
But a dense mass of sand gathered in front of Gus, blocking the way to Muzan.
"Hmph, it's just a pile of sand!"
Muzan gave a cold smile, and his right arm transford into a whip covered with thorns. With a violent sweep, he attempted to disperse the sand.
[Bang!]
The sand exploded, but the whip remained trapped in the mass of sand, failing to completely disperse it.
The sand began to take human shape at a visible speed. A three ter tall giant erged.
"You are the Demon King?" Crocodile, with an arrogant expression and a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Muzan. Then he grabbed Muzan by the neck and lifted him to his level, with a look of contempt. "So weak~"
"You...!" Muzan was furious. "Let go!" With his left hand he tried to break the bones of the giant's hand, while with the thorns on his back and legs he furiously hit Crocodile.
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
But as he attacked, Muzan's expression beca stiff. He couldn't believe what he saw.
Every part of the giant he hit turned into sand, even his head and chest. And he showed no signs of pain. Not only that, the damaged parts were soon filled with more sand, recovering instantly.
"You! Who...are you!" Muzan, furious, noted that Crocodile's strength was overwhelming. Even with his strength he couldn't break him grip on his neck.
anwhile, Kokushibo, Doma, and other mbers of the Twelve Kizuki, along with Naki, were attacked by an increasingly intense sandstorm. They had no choice but to use powerful techniques to repel the sand and wind around them.
But Muzan had no ti to worry about them. "Ahhhh!"
"Let go, you damn bastard!" Muzan could no longer contain himself and shouted in fury. Imdiately, an extrely powerful and terrifying force field burst out from his body. It was an almost substantial shock wave, which shattered Crocodile's body and the ground.
This scene surprised Crocodile, who, not far away, was reconstituting himself from the sand, still holding Gus.
"Is this the Haoshoku Haki-like skill ntioned in the reports?"
"Yes, if they were ordinary people or common soldiers, they would probably have fallen unconscious..." Gus said gravely.
"It's just that the range is a bit small. It seems that the main effect of this move is physical destruction. The ntal impact should just be a side effect."
"Kuahahahaha, this is quite interesting~" Crocodile threw Gus into the air, and a gust of wind and sand held him in the air.
Crocodile then transford back into sand and, in an instant, appeared behind Muzan. His right hand went towards Muzan's neck once more.
Muzan's face changed drastically, and he tried to dodge, but the speed difference between the two of them was too great.
"Let see, how many tis can you use that trick just now, or are you going to use a different trick this ti?" Crocodile leaned towards Muzan. As he spoke, a dense cloud of smoke spread over Muzan's face.
At that mont, Muzan's eyes reflected fear...
He was scared.
Run!
He had to find a way to escape!
With that thought, Muzan made a quick decision and cut his own neck with his sharp whip, abandoning his head. Using his knowledge of the Infinity Castle he began to run as he quickly regenerated a new head.
"Sables ~"
In the next instant, a sand tornado erged from nowhere, launching Muzan into the air, and Crocodile began to slowly walk towards him.
"Don't leave so quickly. I heard that, apart from sunlight, nothing can kill you. I'm very interested in that. You'll need to accompany for so experints..."
As soon as Crocodile finished speaking, the speed of the sand tornado increased drastically and the gravel within it even condensed into sharp blades of sand.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
In an instant, Muzan was torn into pieces.
When the tornado dispersed, most of the flesh and blood fell to the ground under Crocodile's deliberate control.
While Crocodile waited for Muzan to regenerate, small baby hands and eyes erged from the larger pieces of at, trying to escape.
Crocodile was puzzled for a mont and then burst into laughter.
"Kuahahahaha!"
"Kibutsuji Muzan, you have really pushed your regenerative ability to the limit. In that, I must admit that you are a strong opponent."
After saying that he stopped laughing and his gaze turned cold as he said: "But without my permission, you won't go anywhere."
The sand in the Infinity Castle stirred even more, and pieces of Muzan's flesh were dragged back before Crocodile.
With no other option, Muzan composed himself, assuming his human form again.
At this mont, Muzan had an extrely gloomy expression. "Okay, I give up. What do you plan to do with ?"
"What those people want to do with you has nothing to do with . Now I just want to see where the limits of your self-healing ability are~"

"Crocodile has captured Kibutsuji Muzan and Naki. He is returning to Gus and Horobi. However, he eliminated the Twelve Kizuki on the grounds that they were too much trouble. They were excellent experintal materials!" Fernandez sighed, already imagining Dean Fritz's complaints.
"What we have to keep in mind is that Crocodile caused a big ruckus this ti. Look at this! These are the latest newspapers collected by our agents." A vice president pointed to several newspaper pages on the table, visibly annoyed.
"As we said before, the location of the origin of the 'super sandstorm' in Aokigahara will be thoroughly investigated by the Japanese governnt."
"Let's leave that matter to Cipher Pol, they are the professionals. Our only requirent is that we not be discovered in these two months." Fernandez said nonchalantly.
Although Crocodile's actions seed chaotic, he had also proven the depth and capabilities of the Japanese governnt and this world.
Clearly, they had no ans to resist a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, or rather, they did not understand the concept of this type of devastating power.
Just like what was reported in these newspapers, it was completely regarded as a natural disaster.
Actually this is quite strange.
Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki possessed supernatural abilities. However, they had kept the secret so well that most of the population considered them legends, and not even the Japanese governnt seed aware of them.
This other world, although it had a large population, good technological level, and interesting resources, lacked high-level combat forces. That was his greatest weakness.
