Naruto of the pirate world

Chapter 45 Juba
Yuba, a city built in the oasis of the desert in the last ten years, is connected to the rainy land and Ailuma. It is a place where desert merchants must pass by to rest and replenish supplies. It is an important traffic artery.

Since it was built, it has been very prosperous and prosperous, but as there has been no rain for more than a year, the oasis of Juba has gradually dried up, and the sand is also pushing towards this side. Recently, nearby homeless people have entered here, making the water resources more and more depleted. Nervous, the water in the water channel provided for Yuba has become less and less.

The man who built Juba was the father of the future leader of the rebel army, Doto.

The incident of dancing fans was exposed not long before Rodney came here, and the whole country was in an uproar, causing many people who trusted King Cobra to fall into doubt, and even more radical people joined the rebel army.

But Doto has always trusted the king, and didn't think the king would do such a thing. Although his son believed in Cobra, he chose to join the rebel army for the sake of the hard-working people, and with his natural leadership, he successfully joined the rebel army. To the leader's position.

But not yet.

Rodney came to this once prosperous oasis, but now it is still much more prosperous than Aluma, but the pedestrians still look sad, because the water is getting less and less, and there are few business groups passing here recently. Let the service industry here start to decline. People here can't make money and their lives are threatened. They will only choose to move away to protect themselves.

The trees here are one more thing, they are all very heat-resistant and drought-resistant species, I can't name them, but they hide in the shade of the trees, and a gust of wind blows...a mouthful of sand!
Rodney: "..."

Sandstorm is coming!

The yellow sand billowed in the distance, like the doomsday, the dust was blown high into the sky by the wind, covering the sky and covering the earth, like a prehistoric beast, trying to swallow this pearl in the desert into its stomach.

Just when he thought that the people here would hide in the house, a group of people rushed out. The leader was a somewhat rich old man, holding a shovel tightly in his big rough hands, and his eyes were full of determination: "Come on, everyone!" , Yuba, will never be swallowed by mere sandstorms! We will definitely restore Yuba to its former grandeur!"

There seemed to be a force in his words, which was inspiring. A group of strong young people raised their shovels, shouted loudly, and rushed forward, or in the direction of the waterway. They must not let the waterway be swallowed by sand. , that is Juba's last hope!

Rodney watched all this, sighed, and followed, feeling that he was a little nosy, but he just couldn't control himself, it was just a favor, and it was nothing.

In the system mall, I bought a windproof veil produced by Shayin Village. It is breathable and sandproof.

The sandstorm came quickly, and Rodney entered the sandstorm with low visibility. Just now, those people surrounded the waterway, shoveling away the yellow sand that was about to slide into the waterway.

But the manpower is not as good as the number of days, not to mention that some of them are doing it on purpose. Rodney appeared on the side and split out. Everyone was alarmed by his sudden appearance. The old man was the son of Doto, the builder of Juba Come out and ask, "Who are you?"

Rodney didn't respond to him, and all the clones were distributed on both sides of the waterway, with exactly the same movements on their hands, and said in unison: "Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

In the shocked eyes of others, one wall after another rose from the ground and spliced ​​together to form a long sand prevention road.

And the avatar keeps moving, splicing the anti-sand road.

When the sandstorm stopped, Rodney's clones disappeared exhaustedly. When Doto, Kosha and others found him, he was already out of breath, sitting on a dead big purple scorpion.

"Dear guest, may I ask your name?" Doto gave Rodney the highest courtesy in Alabasta, as did his son Kosha and others, for whom this strange man was worthy of them .

The construction of the anti-sand road has greatly reduced their daily work and protected the waterway, which is equivalent to protecting the lives of people in this city.

"Rodney. You can call me that." He stood up, and the chakra in his body was consumed a lot, leaving only a small half of what it used to be, but he still had some left. Since he learned the Baihao technique, he Some chakra is injected into the forehead every day, but the seal of Baihao has not yet appeared.

He didn't plan to use it now, after all, he didn't plan to use his savings before the critical moment.

He smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm going to stay here for a few days, can you see if my travel expenses can be waived."

Doto turned around and said: "Of course, it will definitely be avoided. You have done so much to protect the lifeline of this city. I will do my best to get what you want. I am the mayor here, and my name is Doto." Tho, this is my son, Koza."

Kosha was relatively taciturn, but he looked at Rodney with obvious respect, but there was also some vigilance in the respect, because the power Rodney just used was the power of a devil fruit, and he had seen the power of a devil fruit before. Or, it's just not such a magical ability.

"Thank you, uncle." Rodney smiled and dragged away the scorpion that attacked him while building the mud flow wall. With such a big body, it must taste delicious, right?
At first, everyone wanted to help him and drag the scorpion away, but they found that it was difficult for a group of people to drag it, but it was like paper in Rodney's hands.

Sitting in the best hotel room arranged by Doto, he took a long breath. The water resources here are very precious, and it would be very troublesome to take a bath. Fortunately, Rodney has a water escape, but in order to avoid People here misunderstood that he chose to take a bath at night.

"Tuk tuk!" There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

It was Kosha who came in, "Excuse me, father asked me to come here to see what Mr. Rodney needs."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's very comfortable here, by the way, what about the scorpion I killed?" Rodney asked.

"It's placed at the back of the hotel. Let me ask you, what do you want this for?"

"Eat."

"Eat? Such a big scorpion?" Kosha was dumbfounded. They never thought that such a thing could be eaten.

"Of course, oh, yes, speaking of this, I really need to trouble you to prepare an iron plate, a few stones and firewood, oh, and some seasonings, I will make teppanyaki." Well, iron scorpion.

"Okay." Kosha left silently.

Although he was puzzled, he still chose to satisfy Rodney, and soon found the teppanyaki request. In the evening, the sky was getting darker.

Rodney lit the flames, dissected the limbs of the scorpion, threw away all the useless things, and peeled off the shell to reveal the white meat inside, which was very tender, just like the meat in the claws of a crab, and sizzled on the iron plate Make a noise, sprinkle with seasonings, and make the children on the side cry.

"Come on, let's eat together!" Rodney called someone and had a bonfire party.

The bonfire party lasted until late at night, and everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

At night, after Rodney took a shower, he wrapped himself in a robe and came to the roof of the hotel. The galaxy was brilliant and beautiful.

He lowered his head, it seemed that someone was waving to him, and it was Duo Tuo after a closer look.

He jumped down and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Uncle Duotuo, staying up late at night is very bad for the health of the elderly."

Doto shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's nothing, I'm used to it, I get up late in the morning, what's wrong, can't sleep?"

"No, I'm just wondering where the water in Yuba comes from." Today he created earth flow walls on both sides of the water channel, but he has never found out where the source is.

Doto didn't hide it from him either, saying: "That's groundwater, which comes to the surface from the depths of the ground to provide vitality to the city."

"Is that so, can we dig a well?" This is not Aluma, it is near the Santora River, it is in the middle of the desert, and it lives on groundwater and rainwater.

"Digging wells is difficult, and we have been working hard." Doto said that he is not a pedantic person, so he naturally knew that wells should be dug, but he has dug many wells, but no water has been dug.

However, Doto did not change his face in the face of sandstorms. The old man with a spirit as tough as steel will never be defeated by such difficulties and will continue to fight for Yuba.
