82 Desert of Despair!
In the year 1520 of the Lunar Calendar, the 46th day of the establishment of the Straw Hat Pirates!
Alabastan
……
In the endless desert, Nami and Vivi ride Luffy to save the camel, running in front, and the other men running behind, all sticking out their tongues.
This camel, named by Nami as eyelashes, is still Chopper's old acquaintance, claiming to be a tough guy camel who loves freedom, and does not carry men, only women!
Following the footprints left by the galloping camel, everyone didn't notice that Ace, who looked pensive, had actually fallen behind.
"Water, it's so hot, water" Luffy, who fell at the end of the group, called out with his big tongue, already dozens of meters behind.
Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Green, and Chopper, ignoring Luffy's call, silently bury their heads forward, meaningless actions will only be lost to speed up the flow of water, wasting physical strength.
"I'm sorry, Zoro, it's too hot" Chopper lay on the plank that Zoro was dragging on, his eyes spinning in circles, and he fainted from the heat.
"Don't care, it's just going to get hotter" Zolon, who obviously regarded dragging Chopper forward as an alternative practice, didn't look back
"Namisan, where the hell are you, the ruthless Namisan is also charming," Sanji called out with a stick
Green continued to move forward in a muffled voice, his physical strength was relatively less than that of Zoro, Sanji, Luffy and others, he had already abandoned all behaviors that consumed physical strength, and the muffled voice advanced in the middle of the team, "Eh, what's wrong, Luffy" Usopp, who was second to last in the team, heard something strange, stopped and looked back at Luffy who dropped the wooden stick and was motionless
A cactus just passed, only a few pieces of debris remained, how ** is Luffy, the cacti are all eaten, and Usopp has a black line...
Nami and Vivi, who had already thrown off the distance of thousands of meters from their partners, looked back and found no trace of their partners, but there seemed to be a commotion.
"Everyone, run! Tsunami!" Luffy raised his arms and shouted, "What kind of nerves does this guy have" Green looked back speechlessly, jumping and screaming in excitement
Luffy's eyes were misty and he looked panicked, as if he had seen something terrifying!"Tsunami, please, this is the desert" Usopp said with a black face "Luffy, what's wrong with you" The partners stopped and looked at Luffy in unison, who was obviously abnormal, "The tsunami is coming" Luffy couldn't hear the inquiries of his partners, and shouted that the tsunami was coming, "Sure enough, I just ate something wrong" Usopp said helplessly, only he found that Luffy had just held a cactus and gnawed wildly!"What? something" Chopper looked up and asked. Well, a cactus we passed by just now was eaten by Luffy" Usopp said "Cactus ......" Everyone was speechless, it was so strange. I feel a stomachache when I think about it, "Ah, it's troublesome, that can't be eaten!" That's **cactus, it's used to make hallucinogens" Chopper exclaimed, "Nah" "It's over, it's going to drown, yes" Luffy hugged his head and screamed in panic!
"Okay, let's get the horse here! Let's work together to get it flying!" Luffy rushed over to everyone, shouting hysterically and waving his fists wildly
"Hey, Luffy"
"Flexible ......"
"Oops"
"Smack" Luffy's move fell to the ground before it could be released!
"Anesthetic!" Chopper gasped and stood beside Luffy with a syringe
"Well done, Chopper" everyone gave a thumbs up and praised angrily,
"It's good that there is a doctor like Chopper, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to subdue Luffy" Green breathed a sigh of relief
……
On the other side, in the sand dunes in the middle of nowhere, Ace looked up and suddenly found that everyone else was gone...... This confusion knows that he is a good brother with Luffy at a glance~ worthy of being a brother!!
……
"Depressed, Nami, they can't see a trace at all, the footprints left behind are gone, and Luffy's brother is also separated" Green scratched his head and said helplessly
"Damn, it's all to blame on the stupid Luffy, this one" Usopp complained "I can only continue to walk forward and look for it" Dragging Luffy on the sand, Zoro's cultivation has increased
The exclusive wooden shelf was destroyed by the crazy Luffy, Chopper lost his special treatment, turned into a reindeer and stuck out his tongue and moved forward with a sullen head "Anyway, when did Ace get separated, didn't anyone find out" Sanji said speechlessly, "I reined in what I saw and heard, Chopper was dizzy, and walked behind Luffy, I have to ask Luffy about this, two people can walk away when they walk together" Green pointed to his nose and blew bubbles, and Luffy, who was sleeping soundly, "popped" the bubble and burst. Luffy woke up
"Ace, when did you not see you?" asked the grimacing Usopp, exhausted, hot and thirsty, for Usopp, the only person in the team who was still in the normal range. "Isn't it lost" Luffy suddenly spoke, making everyone pause, "What a brother who loves to cause trouble!" Luffy pouted and said disdainfully, "Bastard!" The big pound number floated on his forehead, and the green muscles jumped violently, "It's not you who hurt you!" "What qualifications do you have to despise others" "Who caused trouble to people and made everyone separate" "Looking for a fight!"
Luffy, who hadn't reacted yet, was trampled into a meatloaf by everyone! His body was covered with footprints and hoof prints!"Huh?" Chopper shook his ears, stopped beating Luffy, and looked around, "What's wrong, Chopper?" Sanji also stopped his movements and asked, "Did you hear anything?" Chopper had already locked on the direction of the sound, "Eh?" Everyone listened attentively, "Mmmm, there is indeed a sound coming" "Go over and see" Everyone walked quickly and walked up the tall sand dunes. "A pirate ship !! sailing in the desert" Everyone looked at the slow-moving pirate ship in amazement, the sails were so huge that they could sail with the help of the wind
"Where, where" Luffy climbed up and looked at it
"Ahhh "Really, what is that guy doing" Sauron, Sanji said speechlessly, "Let's go, let's go with us, by the way, ask for directions" Green suggested "Bring water!" "Puff" The group planted their heads in the sand. How foodie is this stupid captain......
……
It turns out that this pirate ship is a ship of the desert pirates, and like the pirates on the sea, it is a group of pirates who pursue freedom.
What's even more gratifying is that Nami and Vivi are tied to the boat, so there is no need to ask for directions.
Luffy stuck out his big tongue and begged for water, completely unaware that he had broken someone's main power system, the mainmast, sail
Foodies and foodies really have a natural intimacy, and by the time Green and the others arrived, Luffy had already become friends with the captain of the Crooklu Sand Thieves.
Luffy took the initiative to take on the responsibility of repairing the mainmast, and was entrusted to go to a nearby oasis to retrieve the wood for repairs!" Isn't this a surf skateboard?" Two skateboards with sails similar to Ace lowered the pirate ship, which was several times larger than Ace and could carry two people
Vivi actually used this strange sand sled, carrying Luffy, and following another sand sled to ride the wind!"Surprisingly fast" "Of course, the fastest way to travel in the desert is to drive a sled, and Lassa is the most powerful sled hand on our ship, but it's surprising that there are sled hands among your friends."
Crookru, the captain of the Crooklu Sand Thieves, praised
"Well, we didn't know Vivi would use a sled."
Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp are helping to repair the deck that their captain has destroyed.
Chopper, Green rarely lazily found a shady place to rest.
"The desert is so hot, even the wind is hot" Chopper stuck out his tongue, sweating profusely
"Ah, fortunately, my sweat glands and pores are gone, I can't sweat, but I lock in the moisture, but the heat is also retained" Green's face turned red, and like Chopper, he couldn't stand the hot weather
"Uncle Sea Devil, I'm sorry, my medical skills are not enough, I can't treat your body"
"It's okay, I have my own way, Chopper doesn't have to care, I am grateful if you can help me control my body from deterioration, it saves me a lot of effort"
Green reassured that Chopper's help allowed Green to devote more of his physical strength to daily combat
There was another commotion in the desert, but it was another group of sand pirates who dominated the ancient desert region, all riding camels and holding scimitars.
I was thrilled to see the ships of the Sworn Enemy Crooklu Sand Thieves wrecked and stopped, this was a rare opportunity to destroy the enemy!
……
What was once a thriving oasis is now in ruins, eroded by the desert, and there are many more oases like this.
Rasha is a native of the oasis and has not left waiting for the promise of the former king until he runs out of supplies and is about to die and is rescued by the sand thieves.
Vivi learned how to use a sand sled when she was patrolling the country with her father, and Lasha gave her one.
Rasha's desperate complaints made Vivi feel even more guilty, there were many oases and towns lacking water back then, and the kingdom was in a state of overwhelm to deal with it!
The purpose of this trip is to expose the conspiracy of the Baroque Workshop, so that the kingdom can return to peace and rejuvenate itself!
……
The giant desert shell kept rolling huge balls of sand and stones and fell down the dunes, and the sprinting sand thieves hit the pond fish, and many people were crushed and fled
Let the Straw Hats who are preparing for a big battle be relatively speechless, is this a drama to perform?
The huge ball of sand and gravel was easily dealt with by Sauron and Sanji, and the sand thieves cheered and hugged the Straw Hats.
During the communication with the sand thieves, the Straw Hats learned a lot about the desert, as well as the great changes in the environment in the past three years, how many disasters caused by the lack of rain, and how many people were forced to leave their homes and become thieves!
……
In the endless desert, Ace rides an imitation lizard, calling Luffy everywhere, searching for the Straw Hats......
……
When Luffy and the others returned, the sun had already set over the sand dunes and the desert was plunged into a cold night, and the Straw Hats were received by the sand thieves for a night
The next day, the mainmast was repaired, and the sand thieves sent the group to the edge of the desert, waving goodbye.
It only took half a day to walk the distance that was supposed to take two days, and it was already very close to Yuba.
The Straw Hats set foot on the road again,
Yuba, the last habitat of the desert, is also a refuge for all refugees, the location of refugee rebels.
The last of the water resources had also been depleted, and the rebels were agitated when they could no longer wait.
Vivi, can you convince the rebels?
Not only are the Straw Hats not optimistic, but Weiwei actually doesn't have enough confidence in her heart.
Along the way, I have seen too many post-disaster ruins, and this desert kingdom has been shrouded in despair, grief and anger!
Trying to solve it with one person? The answer is obvious.
