The hero behind One Piece

The next day, the scorching sun was still shining brightly.

In order to prevent Crocodile from unexpectedly counterattacking the palace, Arnold asked Smoker to lead his sailors to guard the house and protect the king's safety.

If the majestic king of a country fell into the hands of pirates under the protection of the navy, it would be like smearing dirty mud directly on the face of the navy.

At this time, the king came to the palace gate with his escort to see him off, as if he was a little embarrassed about his previously concealed attitude.

"I'm so sorry. Everyone in the Navy, I originally wanted to invite you to stay and watch Princess Vivian's coming-of-age ceremony." There were several burly ministers standing behind King Kobra. He put his hands in front of him. road.

He mistook the detention team for the navy, and this happened often.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few of us leaving. Colonel Smoker will be here to protect your palace until the ceremony is over.

And we still have important things to do. "

"Is that so?" The king's face became even more embarrassed. With his attitude, he was really ashamed that someone had to stay to protect him.

"Your Highness the King, do you know the origin of Saint Dora?" Arnold asked pretending to be casual.

Arnold now knew that the river where he met the manatees was called the Santaola River.

Somewhat amusingly, the source of the Sentora River, Mount Dorough, is also home to the Kung Fu Walrus.

Fitz had just detected that Crocodile was there and didn't know what he was up to.

However, I am still very lucky, because I only need to go upstream along the Sentora River for half a day to get there, which is much faster than Crocodile taking the overland route.

The river has long been controlled by warships, and it is impossible for the sand crocodile to hide from the sea when it escapes.

"Why do you ask? It is in the hinterland of the desert. Unless it actively chooses you, it is difficult to reach. It is also a sacred place in our country. Just like our mother, according to the ancestral teachings, all ships are not allowed to go upstream, otherwise they will Consider it a declaration of war against the entire people of Alabasta." King Kobra said in surprise.

"Nothing, I just happened to see this river and thought, it must be very majestic there."

As an experienced detainee, Arnold would certainly not reveal his plan to break into someone else's holy land in front of others.

"Well, it's very spectacular. I have some long-distance photos here. If you are interested in them, I can ask someone to bring them over right away."

"No need." Arnold waved his hand, because he was about to go there.

King Kobra showed a somewhat regretful expression. He had a very strange mentality. He wanted to show off his holy land to these navy, but he also did not want them to get involved in it.

Like a little girl who just got the newest rag doll.

On the river bank, just as King Kobra had said, the Sundora River would not allow ships to continue up past the capital.

Not far away, there were Kingdom Guards monitoring the custody team intentionally or unintentionally.

Arnold and his group of six people plus fifty or so small walruses all boarded a warship and sailed down the river.

Respecting the customs and habits of various countries is the consistent purpose of the World Government. Unless the other party has obvious criminal behavior, it is impossible for warships to contradict the king's army.

But this little problem doesn't bother Arnold.

When the port of the capital had disappeared from sight, the manatees, as if using a summoning spell, pulled out the tearful Lord of the River from the Sentora River, a fat catfish with solid scales all over its body.

The walruses forced the big catfish to open its mouth. The catfish has no teeth and its belly is empty enough to hold several people.

The detention team walked in without fear.

Master Dada put his face next to its eyes and patted its skin to comfort it. It had some effect, and the big catfish's expression became serious.

Now this is a ready-made submarine.

The Catfish King drove everyone into the water and swam upstream. With his tail swaying dexterously, he swam under the eyes of the guards at the Capital Pier. The young manatees were accompanying him to ensure that he did not cause trouble.

After repeatedly confirming that the monitoring guards could no longer see it, the Catfish King came to the surface and opened its mouth to let everyone out. Everyone sat on its back and continued moving forward.

The temperature on the river was not very high. Ruola sat on the back of the Catfish King and chatted with a small manatee while translating for others.

It turns out that the Sentora River was much wider than it is now, and there were surrounding impact plains formed by the accumulation of nutrient-rich sediment in the river. The people of Alabasta would plant some small crops along the river.

But I don’t know what happened in recent years. Ever since that aggressive and aggressive man took over the home of the manatees, the river has become narrower year by year, and the precipitation has begun to decrease. The crops along the river are extremely easy to dry out. Over time, everyone became too lazy to plant.

The little manatee burst into tears when he said this and kept wiping his tears.

Ruola listened to this tragic story and felt the same. She hugged it sadly, and they cuddled up together reluctantly.

After the baby walrus cried, it raised its fist and shouted, as if to make an oath. The walrus, whether in the water or on the back of the catfish, also raised its fist and shouted.

The Sentora River is winding, like a long crystal snake in the desert. The width of the river becomes narrower as it goes upstream.

But the surrounding shores unknowingly gathered more walruses and other animals, such as a giant crab with one big pincer and one with small pincer, a large scale lizard with a broken tail, and even some that Arnold had eaten before. strawberry spider.

They were all creatures whose homes were destroyed by Crocodile. The little walrus had a lot of connections, so he swam ahead to contact them in advance, and they all came to help.

The faint yellow sand in the air is no longer visible. The climate here is much better than other places.

You can see two large gray mountains in the distance, vertical and steep, rising out of the ground, as if they were deliberately placed here.

The top of the mountain was dyed white, standing high in the sky and earth like two giants, piercing into the sky.

It is blocked by a dam-like arc-shaped building in the middle, and the whole thing looks like a giant door.

In other words, from this perspective, Dorav Mountain should be a ring-shaped mountain range, with a giant embankment deliberately artificially built in the middle.

The height alone is longer than the entire capital city of Alabasta spread out.

How generous is this? Is it necessary to build such a huge dam in the desert?

The embankment is composed of countless stone slabs, densely packed and neatly arranged. Although the connection surfaces between the stone slabs can be clearly seen, the whole is integrated, as if a huge spoon is used to directly cut the stone from a block composed of countless stones. It's the same as something dug out of a cube.

Arnold stood on the head of the catfish with a serious face, looking at the spectacular dam in silence,

I suspect that this embankment, like Impel Down City, is an ancient creation.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be atmosphere.

However, time has still left some marks on it. The surface of the stone slab has some traces of being scratched by the wind and is slightly damaged.

There are moss-like plants growing in many places, with vines hanging from them for climbing.

The bottom of the dam is even more green, with many plants growing there. This is a rare sight in the desert.

The little walrus looked at the dam and burst into tears. He had been wandering and studying for so long and finally came back!
