Great fairway!alabasta
……

Nahana, the corner of the town, where the navy gathers!

"Dashiqi, what do you think? Princess Weiwei is actually with the Straw Hat gang"

Smoker meditates on his cigar

Dashiqi thinks that the Straw Hat gang has taken the princess hostage.

"Judging from Princess Weiwei's performance, she looks more like their partner! It seems that something must have happened in this country!"

"There is also a Shichibukai that I hate, is it that Shichibukai wants to plot something? The target of the Straw Hats is also the Qibukai, Sha, and Krokdal!"

"In short, they must go back to Albana, and we will also set off for Albana"

……

On the Merry, Ace traveled together, and Luffy found a reason to hold a banquet!
"Cheers for Ace joining us"

Usopp said loudly, Luffy Chopper responded immediately

"Hey, when did I say I would join you?" Ace turned around and pointed to the flag on his back.

"Never mind, they're just cheering for a reason"

Nami, who was sitting by the side, explained with a smile

"Cheers to a smooth sailing!"

"cheers!"

"Hey, Ace, are you really not going to be our partner?"

Luffy turned his head and asked

"Actually, I'm after a man named Blackbeard"

"Blackbeard? I seem to have a little impression"

Usopp frowned thoughtfully.

"It's the pirate who attacked the Drum Kingdom, right?"

Vivi remembered Dalton's words. There was a thief who called himself Blackbeard, who easily defeated the Drum Kingdom, and the king ran away.

"He was originally a member of the second team of our Whitebeard Pirates, that is, my subordinate. He committed a serious crime on the ship! He killed his companions and defected."

"So as the captain, I must find him and bring back his head!"

Ace explained in a deep voice why he was here

"So, have you been hunting him down?"

"I'm here because I got word that he was haunted in Yuba!"

"In that case, our destination is the same as i"

"Oh, is it?"

Weiwei took out the map, "Now our ship has entered the Santora River, and will land at the coast of Elmaru, and then go overland to Yuba, which is located in the interior of Alabasta."

"Because the leader of the rebel army is in Yuba, so our destination is also in Yuba"

"So that's the case, then there is still a period of time to go together"

"Nami-san, I will follow wherever Xiao Weiwei goes"

Sanji twisted his body and said nympho
"Yellow-headed cook, you can climb over by yourself"

"What did you say, green hat swordsman!"

A passionate battle is about to start again, bang!Pa, Green violently suppressed the two of them.

"Anyway, we can go together temporarily," Nami said loudly.

"Haha, brother is welcome, cheers!"

"Let's enjoy sailing together, Ace, haha"

Luffy laughs and raises his glass
"cheers"

Everyone raised their glasses together!

The lively banquet is still going on, and the Straw Hats are even more lively because of Ace's arrival!

……

Albana, headquarters of the Baroque Works, residence of Crocodile.

"Just received the news that Fire Fist Ace appeared in Nahana. Hundreds of millions of elders and millions of elders were attacked and destroyed. The losses are still being counted."

Robin is dressed in a long purple dress, with long dark green hair on a shawl, and big calm blue-green eyes. He returns to BOSS Clauquedal with an expressionless face.

"Catch a lot of things like billionaire elders, so don't worry about it. It won't affect my plan anyway."

"It's just that someone like me has appeared, I must crush him to death!"

"Understood." Robin nodded lightly, "I have already contacted all parties."

"Thanks a lot!"

Gloomy room, gloomy eyes.

……

The Meili, which was docked, encountered the Kung Fu Manatee, a specialty of Alabasta.

The humanoid animal Chopper and the animal humanoid Luffy happily had a duel with the kung fu manatees, and Luffy became the master of the kung fu manatees.

Nami and Vivi have already changed out of their revealing dancer costumes, and Sanji's sad circles.

Because there will be crossing the desert to Yuba soon, the desert during the day, the sun is direct, the temperature on the ground is as high as 50 degrees, and the naked skin will definitely be sunburned by the strong sun.

Girls who love beauty cover their bodies tightly, without leaking any skin. Sanji feels that he has no motivation in life. . .

Farewell to Kung Fu Manatee, the Straw Hats and Ace are on the itinerary~
El Maru, the desert pearl once known as the Green City!
What appeared in front of everyone at this time was a ruin covered by sand.

Withered trees, half-dried walls!
They are all telling the story of the city's past glory and its present fiasco!
In the desert, without water sources, even the busiest cities will be reduced to ruins.

Seeing this, everyone understands what kind of bad luck the Baroque working society has brought to the city and the people.

Originally, the water resources in the desert were very limited. Without rainwater, no matter how turbulent the well water and rivers were, they would all dry up one day!
In just three years, the bustling green city of Almaru, full of greenery and vitality, has turned into a desert with no human population!

As they walked, everyone listened to Weiwei's description of what kind of disasters the Kingdom of Alabasta had encountered in the past three years!
Dancing powder is also known as the powder that summons rain.

It is a magical powder invented by a country that has not rained for a long time. After the burning smoke floats into the sky, it can forcibly gather nearby rain clouds and water vapor to form artificial rainfall!

"Ah? Isn't that incredible powder? I've eaten it before. It's so unpalatable."

Luffy suddenly remembered the strange man he had encountered in Nahana.

"That thing is not for eating!"

Nami frowned and said, what a foodie!
"It's for rain!"

Everyone obviously didn't believe that Luffy even ate something that was obviously not food.

"Hey, I really ate it, you think I'm lying, it's really hard to eat"

Luffy yelled, actually doubting me as the captain in front of my brother!

Everyone ignored the yelling stupid foodie captain and continued to move forward, passing through the ruins of the city

"Wait, if there is such a thing, wouldn't it be able to save this country where it doesn't rain?" Usopp asked strangely

"The water vapor resources in the region are limited. Some places use more, and other places use less, and the same is true for rainwater."

Green said in a low voice

"Yes, at the beginning, everyone didn't know that this would be the result. The reason why they were called dancing fans was that after it rained, people sang and danced like that!"

"However, as Uncle Sea Demon said, after forcibly absorbing and concentrating the rain clouds, the water vapor will form rain, and the water vapor and rain clouds in other places will be even more dried up, resulting in even less rain!"

"In the end, no water will fall, forming a terrible man-made drought!! Do you understand?"

Nami replaced Weiwei and explained in detail to the confused partners what is dancing powder and what disasters it will bring after a large amount of use!
"The use of dancing powder once led to a national war between two countries because of the competition for rainwater, causing countless casualties! After that, the world government banned the use of dancing powder!"

"It turns out to be a powder that brings happiness and disasters at the same time."

A large amount of dancing powder is used in the capital of Albana, and the Baroque Work Agency planted all of this on King Cobra!
Immediately aroused public outrage in the dry town!Then under the instigation and frame of the Baroque Work Agency, the rebel army grew rapidly!
Everyone came to the edge of Green City, and a strange road crossed the city.

This is the canal that once diverted the water source of the San Dora River, also thought to be broken!
And the one who can destroy a canal overnight can only be done by Crocodile who is not called the king of the desert.

The rain did not fall for three years, the canals were man-made, and the wind and sand eroded. In just three years, Green City became an extremely dry city, and people had no choice but to move.

But no one doubted the hero Qiwuhai, and blamed everything on the king who used the dancing powder!
The materials and manpower required for the excavation of a canal are too large, especially after the dispatch of troops many times, after a period of excavation.

He was also hit by an inexplicably violent sandstorm, and all efforts were in vain. People began to distrust the king more and more, thinking that it was a punishment from the heavens for the king's perverse actions!
More and more people, instigated by secret agents of Baroque Works, joined the rebels!
Everything was going on under Crocodile's plan, and war broke out soon!Bloodshed and sacrifices, famine and hatred became more and more serious, and finally reached the point where there was no excuse and no way to deal with it!
Everyone listened to Weiwei's narration with serious faces!
No matter what the purpose is, disregarding the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people in Alabasta is too much and too inhumane!

The strong wind blows, whimpering, as if the former green city is crying!

Living in the desert, constantly fighting against the harsh weather and nature, struggling to survive, but when all efforts come to naught, the desperation that erupts is unimaginable!
Crocodile is triggering and growing this despair!

Such a heinous person is called a hero by people who don't know the details because he keeps destroying pirates!

How ironic!

"I, I absolutely cannot forgive this person"

Weiwei bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears!

"Boom"

Luffy smashed the broken wall with one punch!

"Really, it's so childish"

Although everyone looked angry and angry, but they all held it back very well. The one-sided Luffy couldn't help it, and he would go crazy if he didn't vent!

"Weiwei, let's go quickly, I can't hold back anymore"

Luffy clenched his fist and said seriously
"Let's go to Yuba, where the rebel army is located"

"Well, I'm going to convince the chiefs! Let them stop the civil strife"

"Persuasion?" Sauron raised his eyebrows

"Vivi, such a huge rebel army can't be stopped by persuasion. To be honest, I don't think so. It's so powerful that it can influence the power of the kingdom. It's really unimaginable to persuade with words."

Green looked at Weiwei seriously, it was too idealistic, what reason is there for people to obey?The identity of the princess?Or the truth about the riots?
"All this is caused by Crocodile's conspiracy, I believe they will understand"

"Okay~_~"

Everyone is obviously not optimistic about Weiwei's persuasion, but since Weiwei is obsessed with persuasion, there may be other reasons!
……

In the endless desert, the Straw Hats are moving slowly~
The hot sun shone on the golden sand, the temperature kept rising to the peak, and everyone's mouths were dry!
All kinds of special desert animals and plants, monsters, and monsters continue to appear!

Chopper, who came from a cold country and was covered with thick fur, was already sunburned. On the contrary, Chopper, who left the cold region for the first time, could not adapt to the extremely hot weather in a short time.

This is an ancient desert area, with sand dunes one after another, the highest even reaching hundreds of meters, as if they are constantly climbing and descending, and everyone's physical exertion is even greater!
desert at night~
Under the moonlight, a piece of silvery white, as if suddenly came to the cold winter island, the night is as cold as water!

Except for Chopper who regained his spirits and happily admired the beautiful starry sky that he had never seen before, everyone else was huddled up by the sudden cold.

"I said, Brother Luffy, why don't you send some high-heat flames and let us roast them?"

Green smiled and suggested to Ace!

"Good idea!? But I refused, yawn~ I am also very cold, I need to save my energy to resist the cold"

Ace sneezed, rubbed his nose and refused.

"It's a pity! Chopper's position is already full, it seems that he has to rely on his own righteousness."

Green said seriously, and then ran to the fire to warm up

Poor Chopper, before he was happy enough, he was hugged by Sauron, Usopp, and Luffy to keep him warm!
Wei Wei moved next to Ace, Ace looked a bit in a bad mood, thinking that he minded that Luffy, as the captain, was bullied by the crew and had no prestige.

However, knowing his younger brother's character clearly, how could Ace not know this is normal, he is worrying about other things!
Girls have tents to sleep in, men lean on the fire, use the ground as their bed, and use the sky as their quilt to sleep peacefully!

As soon as the day was slightly bright, the group of people was awakened by the desert storm that may be encountered anywhere in the desert!
The sleepless crowd clung to the rock tightly. Fortunately, Wei Wei, the tour guide, chose this rock position to station.

Deceptive desert birds, piranhas hidden under the desert, giant lizards!
The Straw Hats and the others keep encountering all kinds of strange and unfriendly animals and plants in the desert!
