Luffy, Crocodile ### Summary Page 23: Luffy stands panting heavily in the desert. Crocodile reforms a short distance away, looking completely unharmed. "I told you it was futile..." Luffy, enraged, charges at him again. "TAKE THIS! AND THAT! HAD ENOUGH YET!? YOU DUMB CROC OF SANDSHIT!" He throws punch after punch, but they all pass harmlessly through Crocodile's sandy form. Crocodile states coldly, "No matter how hard you struggle, A rubber human like you will never, ever," Luffy grits his teeth in frustration, "DAMMIT..." Page 24: Crocodile continues his sentence, "...Defp-" Suddenly, Luffy punches him squarely in the face again, interrupting him mid-word. "HAHH!" Luffy yells. Luffy looks confused and asks, "Defp!? What the hell have you been tryin' to say!?" Crocodile's face is shown in a close-up, veins bulging prominently on his forehead, his eyes wide with intense, barely contained anger.
