Junko: You know, I don't know why, but sand benders can be so badass. And these four are no different.

Kokonoe: Gaara, the Kazekage of Naruto.

Junko: Crocodile, the former warlord of One Piece.

Kokonoe: And Sandman, a big bad from Marvel.

Junko: She's Kokonoe and I'm Junko.

Kokonoe: The data has been done and the combatants are ready.

Junko: It's time for a Death Battle!

Infront of the entrance of the hidden sand, two sand shinobi were trying to fight off a man trying to break in. It was Sandman.

Shinobi: It's no use! Our kunai aren't working!

Sandman: Aha!

Sandman turned his hand into a hammer and swung it, sending the first shinobi flying. The other quickly tried to run away but accidentally bumped into Crocodile.

Shinobi: Huh?!

Crocodile: Hmph. Worthless.

Crocodile picked him up by the neck and sucked the moisture out of him. He then dropped the shinobi to the ground.

Sandman: Hey bud!

Sandman walked up to him.

Sandman: The hell do you think you are?! I got here first!

Crocodile: Hm? Who are you?

Sandman: The guy who's gonna kick your ass if you don't back off.

Crocodile let out a sigh.

Crocodile: Go play somewhere else. I'm busy.

Sandman: What did you say?!

Suddenly, a blast of sand shot at both of them. They dodged it and looked at the guy who fired. It was Gaara.

Gaara: You two do not belong here... leave now.

Sandman: Grrr, you and what army?!

Sandman dashed at Gaara.

Sandman's hand turned into a hammer as he swung it at Gaara but Gaara's sand quickly protected him.

Sandman: What the?!

Crocodile: Hmm...

Sandman went for another strike but the same thing happened. He went to strike multiple times.

Sandman: Why! Can't! I! Hit! You!

Gaara sent a wave of sand at him to knock him back. He then had sand fly into the sky.

Sandman: Huh?

Gaara: Sand drizzle.

The sand started to rain down on them. Sandman quickly dodged them as Crocodile dashed at him.

Crocodile: Barján!

Crocodile swung his arm and a trail of sand followed as it went right through Sandman with no effect.

Crocodile: What?

Sandman: Hah!

Sandman swung his hammer hand and smashed Crocodile into dust. Crocodile reformed behind him.

Crocodile: (I see... they both use sand.)

Gaara: Barrage: Sand Shower.

Gaara fired multiple sand projectiles at them. Sandman didn't waste any time as he did the same. Crocodile quickly got out the way. Gaara started making sand clones. Sandman saw this and started doing the same.

Crocodile: Hmph. Looks like I'm being left out.

The clones started battling it out and Crocodile put his hand on the ground.

Crocodile: Ground Sekko.

The ground started to open up wide cracks as most of the clones fell down. Other clones dashed at Crocodile.

Crocodile: Get out my way!

Crocodile created a heavy tornado of sand that sent the rest of the clones flying. He dashed at Gaara, who was still standing.

Gaara: Sand Shield.

Crocodile swung his hook but a dome of sand surfaced around Gaara. As soon as Crocodile's hook got close to the dome, spikes of sand came out to stab him. However, they only phased through them.

Crocodile: Tch. Neat trick.

Sandman: Get out my way!

Crocodile turned to see Sandman running at him with a giant fist. Crocodile quickly stepped back as Sandman punched through the dome, sending Gaara flying out.

Crocodile: Desert Spada!

Crocodile stabbed his hand into the ground. Everything infront of him was quickly cut in half including Sandman, who quickly reformed.

Sandman: You son of a!

Sandman dashed at him. His hand turned into a giant spikey stick as he swung it at Crocodile. But it only phased right through him.

Gaara: Sand Tsunami!

Crocodile: Now what?

A giant tsunami of sand started to come at them. Crocodile quickly flew into the air.

Sandman: Huh?

Sandman was quickly buried into the tsunami.

Gaara: Giant Sand Burial!

Gaara quickly crushed everything under the sand. Crocodile slowly landed ontop. Gaara went to face him.

Gaara: I'll give you one last chance... leave now or face the consequences.

Crocodile: Sorry kid, but that's clearly not happening. Hope you can fly.

Crocodile put his hand on the ground.

Gaara: Tch!

Gaara quickly used his sand to fly him up to the sky.

Crocodile: Ground Death!

Everything around Crocodile started to turn to sand as the entire hidden sand crumbled. Every living thing touching the ground died. Luckily Gaara was in the air.

Crocodile: Hmph. Of course he can fly.

Gaara landed on the floor and Crocodile dashed at him.

Gaara: Sand Coffin!

Crocodile's entire body was suddenly trapped in thick sand.

Gaara: Sand Burial!

Gaara forced the the pressure of the sand to try and completely crush Crocodile. However, Crocodile suddenly reformed right infront of him. Surprised by this, Gaara quickly tried to use his sand to protect him. Crocodile used his hook to swat the sand away. Before it could come back, he quickly grabbed Gaara by the neck and held him up high. He squeezed his neck tightly as it began to crack.

Crocodile: A sand shield? Interesting... but still worthless.

Crocodile started taking all the moister out of Gaara.

Crocodile: Good night kid.

Gaara grew skinnier as his body went limp and stopped moving. Crocodile dropped him to the ground. Suddenly, everything started to shake.

Crocodile: Tch. What the?

Crocodile looked behind him to see Sandman emerging from the ground. He was humungous.

Crocodile: Still alive are we? Desert Grande Spada!

A giant sand blade emerged from the ground and went straight through Sandman. But Sandman wasn't affected at all. Sandman went to swing one gigantic fist at him. He goes to smash him into the ground, but Crocodile quickly reformed above him.

Crocodile: Dessert la Spada!

Several solid blades came out Crocodile's hand and shot at him, still with no effect. Crocodile quickly landed on the ground.

Crocodile: Tch. Well aren't you a tough one...?

Sandman went to try and grab him. Crocodile quickly formed a swirling mass of dense sand in his hand.

Crocodile: Sabels Pesado

Crocodile hurled it at Sandman as it created a massive shockwave. It was so strong it caused Sandman to fall back and crumble into his original size. He quickly got up.

Crocodile: Alright, now it's about time I end this.

Crocodile removed his hook to reveal a more poisonous hook.

Sandman: You think that's gonna save you?!

Sandman turned his fist into a club. He ran at him and swung it. Crocodile dodged quickly as he swung the hook straight through Sandman's body. Sandman hardened his body to try and trap him.

Sandman: Heh.

Crocodile: Hmph.

Crocodile pulled his hook straight out of him. Breaking his poisonous hook and revealing a poisonous blade. Sandman suddenly found it difficult to keep his form thanks to the poison from the hook..

Sandman: What?!

Crocodile swung the blade and slit his throat. He then went for an uppercut that sent the blade straight through Sandman's head. Crocodile held his body up high.

Crocodile: Desert Girasole...

A pit of quicksand formed infront of them. Crocodile dropped the poisoned Sandman into it and watched as he drowned into the closet underground river Crocodile could find. Laughing out loud, Crocodile walked away.

Junko: Not as fast paced as the last but still bad ass!

Kokonoe: A lot happened here so it's best we explain one step at a time.

Junko: First Gaara. Don't get us wrong, Gaara is a very dangerous ninja. However, he had no real way of even touching either Crocodile or Sandman. He's had no signs of controlling living sand so it's not like he can control them either.

Kokonoe: The same can be said for Sandman and Crocodile. Crocodile can't control Sandman's sand. Sandman might be able to control Gaara's sand but he can't control Crocodile.

Junko: The other thing is Gaara's chakra. Even if Gaara did somehow take out one of them, he'd still need to save enough chakra to fight the other. This is different from Crocodile and Sandman whose only limitations they have is the amount of sand they have in their disposal... which is a lot.

Kokonoe: That's when we got to Crocodile vs Sandman and this was where things did get tough. After all, neither of them could touch the other with their attacks.

Junko: Luckily for Crocodile, Sandman has a hard time keeping his sand form when poison is involved.

Kokonoe: Not only that, Crocodile also has his quicksand which leads to underground rivers. Since water is one of Sandman's weaknesses, all he needed to do was sink him inside.

Junko: Looks like these two sandy guys weren't man enough for the job and ended up Crocodile meat.

Kokonoe: The winner is Crocodile.

Junko: Next time on Death Battle!

Eren: I'll kill them all! I'll wipe every one of them... off the face of this earth!

Ken: You're wrong. It's not the world that's messed up; it's those of us in it. Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans, we can choose a different path altogether. We have a lot to learn, both your kind and mine. We need to stop fighting, and start talking. Because when it comes to the state of the world, you can't point your finger at ghouls or humans. We're all to blame.
