Chapter 428 Weather Showdown, Sandstorm Vs. Prayer for Rain

The same type of ability in different people's hands will produce different effects.

Although Hook has almost the same fruit ability as Crocodile, he is very different from Crocodile in terms of ability application.

In terms of skill development, Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit is obviously more inclined to high-power, high-damage destructive skills, which is directly related to his domineering personality like a gangster boss.

Although James Hook is also a captain and the Lord of Dreams, he is a pirate with all the negative characteristics. He is neurotic and petty. In the development of the Sand-Sand Fruit ability, he obviously absorbs water and makes others die in pain.

The giant crocodile that was completely dried up before was done by Hook using the dehydration ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

It is also because of this achievement that Hook is obsessed with absorbing water from others, which leads to him almost never using methods like high-frequency vibration of gravel to kill people, but almost only using sand dehydration and mouth and nose suffocation to deal with enemies and traitors.

Now Hook, without a doubt, intends to replicate the behavior of the wind-dried giant crocodile.

He intends to directly drain the body fluids of the two stupid crocodiles and turn them into materials for the giant crocodile clock.

It must be said that this artificial sandstorm that almost completely changed the weather is indeed very tricky. Not only the two giant beasts in the center of the sandstorm, but also the surrounding pirates and Luke's party were affected.

Many drunkard pirates who did not choose to escape immediately after Dam's death, instinctively covered their mouths and noses, while their throats began to slide up and down, and their mouths began to work hard to produce saliva to replenish the body's water loss.

But soon these drunkards discovered that they still had wine to drink, so they took a few big gulps of the remaining high-concentration rum that could assist in spitting fire, as well as the mud and sand that accidentally poured into their mouths when they opened their mouths.

The two giant beasts that were regarded as the focus of attention were naturally unlikely to survive, just because they were affected by the pervasive sand and dust and had begun to show signs of slight dehydration.

Since the fights and bites between the two sides were real, and they had not had time to eat their broken tails as emergency food in times of emergency, the healing speed of the wounds on their bodies was obviously not as fast as when they were eating.

This also caused many wounds on the bodies of both to bleed.

As we all know, wild beasts in a violent state have no thinking ability at all, and the Devil Tyrannosaurus, which is originally very insensitive to pain, is even more so. Brother Luffa didn't even notice that the blood in his cracked wounds was being sucked away by the annoying wind and sand.

Lei Luffa, who was relatively rational and could always feel that his master was nearby, began to notice that something was wrong with his body - but that was all. His brain was not smart enough to find the exact source of the blood-sucking sand.

This is the insidiousness of Hook's "Mummy Sandstorm".

As long as it is well hidden, when the target realizes that the sandstorm has caused considerable damage to his body, everything will be too late.

Extracting body fluids can be done violently, after all, the target is to be killed, but organisms cannot be restored to moisture and smoothness by drinking a bottle of water, nor are they water balloons.

The negative effects of extreme water shortage are all-round.

How does that sentence go? Without food, people can survive for seven or eight days, and if they are fat people, they can even survive for more days.

But without water, they will die in three days.

Hook, who was pretending to control the sandstorm with his saber, even had the image of three giant crocodile clocks placed in his pirate square in his mind.

But when Hook's mind was full of beautiful things, a sudden chill on the back of his bare hand made him tremble subconsciously, and then he almost instinctively raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this moment, the sky, which was already a little dim under the influence of the sandstorm, was now completely dark.

It was not wind and sand, but large chunks of dark clouds.

Hook's face suddenly became very ugly, because this was clearly the most disgusting thing in his life that could almost compete with crocodiles after crocodiles and clocks - rain clouds!

"Damn it! Why is it suddenly going to rain?"

The extreme disgust in his heart made Hook uncontrollably start to curse loudly at the sky, which was completely unmannerly.

However, he was still close to level A and was very good at developing sand and dust abilities. Soon Hook noticed that there was an area with extremely thick water vapor in the area covered by his sand and dust.

His intuition told him that there was something wrong with this area, but it was too late.

With the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning, large raindrops that could be regarded as "heavy rain" began to pour down to the ground.

Hook's sand and dust that could absorb water were "filled" by the heavy rain almost instantly, and turned into mud soup mixed with rainwater, and fell to the ground together.

And Hook's face became more gloomy than the thunderclouds in the sky.

Everything is afraid of the phrase "too much is as bad as too little".

The Sand-Sand Fruit does have the ability to absorb water, but when the amount of water exceeds the range it can absorb, the sand will turn into mud, concrete, etc., not only can it no longer absorb water, but even its own variability will be suppressed.

This includes Hook himself, who is the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

At this time, he was attacked by heavy rain and could no longer turn into sand...

Not being able to turn into sand means that you can't easily escape, which means that you have to take all the damage you get.

So, how did this sudden heavy rain come?

Of course, it was Luke who did it, or to be more precise, it was the Pokémon who learned new skills a few minutes ago with his help.

In the area where Hook sensed that there was extremely thick water vapor before, the horns of the Haxorus flashed, the eyebrows of the Golduck glowed, and the eyes of the Hippopotamus were closed. If there was a caster present, they would be able to sense that their mental power was directly connected to the rain clouds in the sky.

These rain clouds are the wide-area field skill called "Pray for Rain" released by them together, which can also directly affect weather changes.

[Pray for Rain: Convert the current area's celestial phenomena into rainfall. The duration, affected area, and rainfall scale depend on the consumption. In the rainfall area, the power of water skills of all units (regardless of enemy, friend, or neutral) increases, the power of fire skills decreases, the effect of sunlight and moonlight skills is weakened, and lightning skills are guaranteed to hit and there is a risk of spreading. ]
