Yuba was once the largest oasis in Alabastan and one of the most prosperous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the drought that began three years ago gradually robbed the oasis of popularity.

Now, when the Straw Hats arrived in the afternoon, they found that it was almost covered in yellow sand.

Abandoned houses and scrooked trees are a sign that this oasis is heading for the same fate as Almaru.

"How so!?"

Seeing this scene, Wei Wei was a little stunned.

This is Yuba!?

Am I not mistaken?

Vivi was tempted to deny it, but her memories told her that it was Yuba.

"It's too desolate, isn't it?

Zoro looked at the desolate scene in front of him and sighed.

"Vivi said this is an oasis......"

Sanji looked at it, but found no human figures, and there were not many traces of human activity, and muttered to himself.

Obviously, this is yet another oasis that has lost its vitality.

While Elmaru had made him aware of the country's plight, what was once the largest oasis made him even more aware of the country's suffering.

Turning his head a few times, Harut didn't notice anyone.

(What about the old man......?)

Although his memory was a little blurry, he still remembered that Yuba had an old man who knew Vivi.

(Did you come early?)

Harut guessed that after switching to a fire-powered board car, the Straw Hats would arrive at Yuba much faster than before.

Squeak!

At this moment, a door suddenly sounded, and then a thin old man came out with a shovel.

This thin old man has rough hands, and his face is like tree bark, and he looks like a weathered figure.

Seeing that there were people outside, and a lot of things on the cart, the thin old man suddenly said with some surprise: "Could it be that you are desert travelers?"

"You must be tired all the way here, don't look at Yuba, but there is also a bonus, you can choose a room to rest in. ”

The thin old man said with some enthusiasm, and it was clear that there were still people in the city who made him feel quite happy.

Random!?

As soon as they heard this, the Straw Hats and the gang could understand that the houses here were all abandoned.

"Really!?"

However, apparently there was one more thing that did not understand, and the captain looked surprised.

“......”

Hearing this, Harut silently mourned for three seconds for the captain's anxious brain.

Seeing that the thin old man's gaze was about to move to herself, Wei Wei hurriedly turned her face sideways and covered half of her face with a veil.

She is quite a well-known figure in this country, and her identity cannot be easily revealed.

At the same time, Vivi gestured to Harut with her eyes.

In the Straw Hat Pirates, Harut is a rare "normal person" in Vivi's eyes.

"Ahem!"

Although Harut already knew the result, he still pretended to be serious and asked, "Uncle, is the rebel army still here?"

"Rebels!"

As soon as he heard this, the old man, who was originally quite kind in tone, changed his face by the way, and roared angrily: "Get out! There is no rebel army here! Could it be that you are also a guy who wants to join the rebel army!"

At this time, the old man did not know where to get the strength, picked up the broken bucket not far away, and threw it at Harut.

In his eyes, these are the "bad boys" who were attracted by the name of the rebels.

Boom!

Although the old man made a sudden move, this was a piece of cake for Harut, and he caught the bucket with two fingers of his right hand.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly throw the bucket over!"

Luffy was surprised, and with his emotional intelligence, he could barely tell that this thin old man was angry because he suspected that they had come here to join the rebel army.

However, the captain of the dead cargo heard that the rebels were not here, and after staying for a while, he finally reacted, and said to Weiwei with a frightened face: "Weiwei! What should I do if the rebels are not here!?"

"Stupid...... Stupid!"

Nami and Sanji couldn't help but want to beat this guy.

Didn't I say it before, don't easily expose Weiwei's identity.

Where the hell did this idiot hear!

"Vivi!?"

Sure enough, the thin old man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Weiwei.

Vivi suddenly twisted her body a little unnaturally.

"Ahh

Luffy suddenly reacted at this time that Weiwei's identity was still a secret, and immediately ran up in a panic and explained, "Weiwei, she's not a princess!"

Boom!

At this point, Nami finally couldn't help it and rewarded Luffy with an iron fist.

"This idiot ......"

Harut twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally, isn't this an obvious way to tell others that she is a princess!?

And at this moment, the thin old man walked over with an excited face, his eyes were full of tears, and he put his hands on Weiwei's shoulders, "It's you, Weiwei! I'm Uncle Doto! Can't you recognize me!......?"

Hearing this, Wei Wei couldn't help but take a closer look at the thin old man and found that his eyebrows were indeed somewhat familiar.

The chubby face in my memory gradually coincided with this face full of vicissitudes.

"Are you...... Uncle Doto!"

Wei Wei couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the chubby elder in this memory became like this.

Huhuhu~~

The faint sound of the wind sounded, and Harut turned his head to look north, and on the horizon, a vast expanse of yellow sand and dust surged.

(North!)

Harut's eyes narrowed, thoughtful.

"There's a sandstorm coming!" Soon, Harut reminded the crowd.

Having crossed the desert, he was already quite familiar with sandstorms at this time, and immediately recognized this desert disaster.

"Come on, come on!"

Hearing this, Doto looked at it with some surprise, and then beckoned everyone to hide in the house.

Although there are a lot of things on the cart, the Straw Hats are not short of powerful guys, and they can be dealt with in two or three clicks.

The sandstorm had fallen on the city, and Doto was busy in the house, and it seemed that he had not dealt with the sandstorm once or twice.

Soon, he told about the current state of the rebel army, while not forgetting to show his trust in the king.

"How so!?"

Vivi can't accept it, isn't Catlea just near Rape Flower Harbor!?

In this case, they actually missed it in the first place!

Is this a joke from God!?

Vivi clenched her hand tightly, her nails almost embedded in the flesh of her palm.

"I don't think convincing the rebels is the most important thing right now. ”

At this time, Harut sat down in his chair and said.

"Huh!?"

All eyes fell on him.

"The high-ranking agents of the Baroque Workshop have begun to assemble, and it seems that their preparations are in the final stages. ”

Harut looked around and continued, "And, judging by the situation at Miss.allSunday, I'm afraid they're in the final stages. ”

Why did Robin let Vivi know the truth?

Bad taste?

Or is it kindness?

Harut doesn't deny that maybe Robin still has some kindness in his heart, but this article of history is her pursuit, and it is also her sustenance, how could she easily break her dreams?

Being able to tell Weiwei can only mean that Weiwei knows that it doesn't matter anymore.

War, which is no longer transferred by anyone's will.

As long as the country continues to be drought!

Wei Wei's face turned pale, and she was as smart as she naturally thought of this possibility, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "We still have time, as long as we ......"

"Do you really think you can meet the rebel leader!?"

Harut couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that there are shadows of the Baroque Workshop in both the rebel army and the king's army, as long as you get close to the rebel army, I am afraid that they will find out and mess with you, and ......"

Harut glanced at Vivi and said meaningfully, "Will they believe in a 'hero' or will they think it's a plot of the king?"

"Enough is enough!!"

Vivi couldn't help but roar.

She had thought about all of this in her heart, but in the face of Klockdahl's strength, she really didn't want to face him head-on.

At this time, the Straw Hats were a little silent, indeed, these things are very likely.

"I think you should understand that the rebel army is now 700,000 in size, and the war is no longer transferred by anyone's will. Moreover, if Klockdahl wants to enter the stage of this country, both the king's army and the rebel army are a threat to him......"

"I'm afraid, he already has the idea of letting the king's army and the rebel army die together......"

Harut was not good at politics, but he also understood that if Klockdahl wanted to become king as a matter of course, then neither the rebel army nor the king's army could exist, and only then would his status factor be weakened to a minimum.

After all, he is a pirate no matter how he says it, and as long as there is a guy with a reputation not much worse than him, it is almost impossible to become a king "reasonably".

Naturally, only the dead are the cleanest, and there is no trouble.

"What else can I do if I don't stop it! That's the lives of millions of people!!

Vivi roared like an enraged beast.

"You're so naïve!"

At this time, Luffy said with a serious face.

"Huh!?"

Not only Nami and them, but Harut all looked at Luffy in shock.

Naive!?

This is what Luffy would say?

However, Harut reacted quickly.

(Is it going to be early?)

Harut remembers that Luffy "quit" after setting off from Yuba.

If you think about it, he should have had an idea before.

Thinking of this, Harut suddenly decided to let the captain go in blackface.

So, Harut did not speak, and watched as the captain spoke.

"War, how can there be an immortal ......"

Luffy's face was indifferent, as if those human lives were nothing.

Saying this, Vivi suddenly got angry, rushed over and grabbed Luffy's collar, and yelled, "Is it wrong that I think everyone is safe and sound!?"

At this time, Vivi, who was pierced by Harut's illusions, lost her mind a little.

Doto was also silent, and it was clear that Vivi's thoughts were somewhat idealized.

That's ......

War!

"The enemy is a powerful pirate who is one of the seven martial seas under the king, and just like Harut said, this is a war of millions of people, it is impossible for no one to be injured or killed, you are too naïve!"

Luffy became more and more serious, and even looked at Vivi with some indifference, ignoring Vivi's heart that was on the verge of collapse at this time.

(I'm rubbing!, what you say makes sense!)

At this moment, Harut couldn't help but praise the captain's eloquence, and sure enough, the usual jokes were all fake!

Usopp and the others all looked at Luffy in some silence, and they had to say that they all agreed with what Luffy said at this time.

Syllable!

The princess couldn't accept it and slapped it, and Luffy was immediately knocked away.

"Shut up!

"Whether it's the rebel army or the king's army, everyone is not wrong, why should he lose his life because of his plot!"

"But what else can I do if I don't stop the rebels!?"

Vivi shook Luffy excitedly.

"Go and knock down Klockdahl!"

"Just knock him down!"

Luffy also roared, unceremoniously slapping Vivi hard.

"You bastard!"

Sanji almost couldn't sit still when he saw this, and he actually dared to hit a woman in front of him, no matter how reasonable you are, a gentleman can't bear it.

“......”

Zoro didn't speak, but put one hand on Sanji's shoulder, and he was the only one who could suppress Sanji at this time.

"But even if I try my best, I can't defeat him!"

"If I could defeat him with my life, I would definitely fight!"

"But......"

Vivi and Luffy fight each other.

"You guy!"

Uncle Doto almost couldn't help it, and was about to rush up and fight Luffy, but Harut hurriedly grabbed him.

"In that case, let's fight for our lives!"

"We are not ......"

Luffy took a deep breath, suppressed Vivi, and yelled, "...... Partner!?"

Weiwei was stunned all of a sudden, and tears flowed out as if she didn't want money.

Partner?

Vivi looked around and saw the smiles on everyone's faces.

I......

Is there still a partner's life?

"Hmmm......"

Weiwei couldn't control her tears anymore, and covered her mouth to cry.

(There really is a set...... ）

Harut sighed slightly in his heart, I have to say that this stupid captain has a lot of infectious power at this time?

"Hey......

Seeing this, Luffy wiped his nose and laughed, "Finally crying!

"Now, the most important thing is ......"

Luffy looked at everyone with a serious face.

Grunt......

Obviously, Luffy's very bold performance just now slightly shocked everyone, and at this moment, the majesty of the captain filled everyone's hearts, looking at him quietly, wanting to see what he wanted to say.

"The most important thing is ......"

"Eat!"

Bang!

The Straw Hats fell, sweating profusely, and were almost stupid.

(Rub Rub!)

(I rub!)

(Why eating!)

The crew's hearts are full of cattle (┯_┯)

(I was wrong π_π, I should have known in the first place that he would always be a tease π_π)

Harut was deeply ashamed of what he had just thought.

"Hey......

"Sanji, I'm hungry......"

Unfortunately, the dumb cargo captain didn't realize that he already had the legendary "majesty" thing just now, and said with a smirk.
