In the heart of Alabasta's capital, amidst the relentless battles that raged across the ancient city, the pivotal showdown between Tenshinhan and Crocodile had commenced. The unrelenting desert sun cast long, scorching shadows across the sand-covered streets, intensifying the gravity of this decisive encounter.
Tenshinhan, his unwavering gaze fixed firmly on Crocodile, stood resolute in the face of his formidable adversary. He understood that this battle was the linchpin of their mission, the culmination of their journey to liberate Alabasta from the clutches of tyranny.
Crocodile, the menacing Shichibukai renowned for his mastery of the Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit, exuded an aura of malevolence that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to witness it. His glinting golden hook seemed to reflect the unforgiving sunlight as he spoke, his voice laced with chilling confidence. "Yet another fool who seeks to challenge me. Do you truly believe you can defeat me, pirate?"
Tenshinhan's response was a measured proclamation of unwavering resolve. "I am not here for empty boasts or personal glory. I have come to bring an end to your reign of terror and liberate this kingdom."
With those words, the battle erupted in earnest. Tenshinhan moved with the grace and precision honed over years of martial arts training, launching a flurry of punches and kicks, each executed with unparalleled expertise. However, Crocodile, with his Logia powers, seamlessly transformed his body into sand, effortlessly evading Tenshinhan's relentless onslaught.
The two warriors clashed with the intensity of a desert tempest. Every move executed by Tenshinhan was met with the fluidity of Crocodile's sand manipulation, forging a battle that pitted physical prowess against supernatural powers granted by a Devil Fruit.
The citizens of Alabasta watched in awe and trepidation as this monumental duel unfolded before their eyes. Tenshinhan's unwavering determination and Crocodile's malevolent presence clashed at the heart of the capital, embodying the crew's unyielding commitment to justice and freedom.
Amidst the shifting sands of Alabasta's capital, Tenshinhan and Crocodile engaged in a fierce and relentless struggle, the outcome of which would seal the fate of the entire kingdom.

As the battle between Tenshinhan and Crocodile raged on, it became increasingly apparent that Tenshinhan's martial arts prowess alone would not suffice to defeat his formidable adversary. Crocodile's Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit powers granted him unparalleled defenses against physical attacks, rendering Tenshinhan's strikes largely ineffective.
However, Tenshinhan possessed a powerful trump card, a skill he had honed during his journey—a low-level Armament Haki. This rare and mysterious ability allowed him to manifest his spirit as a form of armor, enabling him to land blows on Logia-type users like Crocodile.
With unwavering resolve, Tenshinhan channeled his Haki, directing it into his fist as he delivered a precise punch at Crocodile. The blow found its mark, bypassing Crocodile's sand defenses and striking the Shichibukai's golden-hooked hand.
Crocodile winced in pain as the strike connected, a trickle of blood escaping his wounded hand. Tenshinhan's effective use of Armament Haki bridged the gap between the physical and spiritual realms, leaving an indelible mark on their battle.
The citizens of Alabasta watched in astonishment as Tenshinhan's punch landed, unveiling a vulnerability within Crocodile's seemingly impervious Logia powers.
Momentarily humbled by the unforeseen development, Crocodile regarded Tenshinhan with newfound caution. "You are no ordinary adversary," he hissed. "But do you truly believe you can defeat me?"
Tenshinhan's successful utilization of Armament Haki had shifted the dynamics of the battle. Crocodile, the Shichibukai known for his invulnerability, now regarded his opponent with newfound gravitas.
The citizens of Alabasta, once gripped by trepidation, were now inspired by Tenshinhan's determination and the revelation of Crocodile's vulnerability. They watched in awe as the battle continued to unfold—a clash of powers and wills that would determine the destiny of their kingdom.

With unwavering resolve, Tenshinhan ascended into the sky, his three eyes fixated on the adversary below. The citizens of Alabasta watched in awe as he prepared to unleash his ultimate technique—the Neo Tri-Beam.
The Neo Tri-Beam was a devastating attack that demanded an immense reserve of energy and stamina. Tenshinhan recognized that mastering this technique's power was crucial; too much, and it could cost him his life, while too little might not be enough to vanquish Crocodile.
