Alabastan, rain land.

In fact, Yudi is just a place name. This is the home of Klockdal. It's actually no different from a normal desert area.

At least Luffy was surprised when they arrived here, and this place was called Rain Land. In their eyes, the gap between this place and the desert locations they encountered along the way was not too big.

During their desert journey to the Rainlands, they came across small camps inhabited by some of the King's army.

However, Luffy's supplies were not exhausted at that time, and Luffy was eager to take risks, so they didn't pay attention to those places. They rushed straight to the rain.

Thankfully, the location of these cities hasn't changed much over the years. Only then did they succeed in reaching the rain under the leadership of Robin.

In fact, Robin was also very surprised by the current situation of the rain land. She hadn't been to Alabastan in years, but the rain was Klockdahl's territory!

Klockdahl is a much worse place than it was more than a decade ago, and it used to be a great oasis.

But now, the small lake here has dried up. It's not much more prosperous than other towns.

This is the most prosperous place in Alabastan!

"There must be a conspiracy on the part of Klockdahl. The thought came to Robin's mind. However, she couldn't figure out what Klockdahl was up to for a moment.

In the middle of the rainland, the largest casino. Klockdahl was sitting behind his desk. Quietly listening to the report of his men.

The content of the report is very simple, that is, a group of pirates without the slightest bounty has entered the rain land. Entered his territory.

Moreover, there is also a person in this group of pirates that they are very familiar with, their former accomplice, Robin.

When the debriefing man had withdrawn, Klockdahl removed the cigar from the corner of his mouth, pressed it into the ashtray, and extinguished it.

“.1.。 By the way, remember to save Miss All Sunday. ”

Behind Klockdahl, a tall, bald head turned away without saying a word, and walked out through the side door of the office.

"Aren't you under the protection of Bucky the Clown, why did you join another group of pirates? What the hell do you want to do......"

In the office, Klockdahl, who had once again put on a cigar, squinted slightly, and his eyes flickered as he looked at the door frame......

Alabastan, this country has a naval station. The king gave a small piece of land in the country to the navy to establish a base.

This base was built on the banks of the Santa Dora River, not too far from the royal capital of Albana. It's also not too far from the rain.

When the Navy originally planned to build a naval base in Alabastan, the admiral who came to station there took a fancy to the place at first sight.

In fact, the navy was quite surprised at that time. Klockdahl did not even stand in the way of the establishment of this naval base.

You must know that Don Quixote Doflamingo, one of the seven martial seas who is now king of Dressrosa, is extremely excluded from building a naval base within his power!

Not only Doflamingo, but also Moonlight Moria, Boya Hancock, and Fishman Jinping, all of whom had their own range of strength, were all excluded from building naval bases in their spheres of influence.

Only Klockdahl does not reject this. He did not make the slightest move about the establishment of a naval base here, nor did he say anything to the leaders of the Navy.

In fact, the entire territory of Alabastan, including the rainlands belonging to Klockdal, has been plagued by drought to a greater or lesser extent for the past five years.

Fortunately, there is a desalination device developed by a man named Carpenter, and the lives of the residents of Alabastan have not been greatly affected.

It is worth mentioning that the naval station also houses a desalination plant from Alabastan. And the area around the Navy's garrison has indeed received a little more rain in recent years than in other places.

Although it has also suffered from drought, it is indeed less severe.

On this day, a warship and a supply ship appeared in the harbor of the Navy. This is a strange warship, at least the garrison here is the first time to see it.

"I heard that this is the warship of Captain Smoker, who was previously stationed in Rogue Town, and he came here to catch a group of pirates, but I don't know if his arrival will affect our plans......"

"Captain Kudrow, what did you just say?" said a naval soldier behind the self-talking harbor garrison.

"Ah...... Ah, nothing. I'm a little curious as to why this officer left his post without permission. Hahahaha!" Captain Kudro, who had just been talking to himself, laughed twice in embarrassment.

"Oh, this one. Colonel Smoker was angry with the Navy Headquarters before leaving Rogue Town this time!"

The soldiers behind Cudro gave him a brief explanation of Smoker's arrival and departure from Rogue Town.

"I heard that he came here chasing a pirate group that didn't even have a bounty! I really don't know how this colonel, who is a natural fruit ability, can't catch a pirate group without a bounty!"

"He's natural!" Kudrow exclaimed.

Then he saw the surprised look on the face of the soldier behind him. Navy Thorn Colonel Smoker is a matter of nature, and he is well known in the Navy, right?

"Ah...... Ah, I'm ...... I mean...... The pirate group that was hunted down may also have a natural ability, so in this case, Colonel Smoker's advantage is not obvious. ”

Kudrow touched his nose in embarrassment, rolled his eyes, and explained his exclamation.

"Ah, if that's the case, then the danger of this pirate group will have to be reconsidered......"

The sailor muttered a little. "Captain, would you like to contact Colonel Tina and ask him to keep an eye on that pirate group?"

"That's not good...... After all, that pirate group was hunted down by Colonel Smoker, so it's not appropriate for us to step in the way!"

Kudrow spoke as he went over and patted the soldier on the shoulder. "Don't worry, soldier. If Colonel Smoker couldn't handle it, he went back to Colonel Tina for help. We don't have to worry about it. ”

With that, Kudrow turned and was about to leave. Anyway, he had to inspect other parts of the port, so it didn't matter if he wasn't here.

"Strange, I remember that Captain Kudrow was very fond of finding reasons to go to Colonel Tina, why don't you go for such good reasons now?"

Not far away, Kudero's eyes, who happened to hear the voice of this naval soldier because he was not walking fast, were slightly cold.

He paused for a moment, and then walked on as if nothing had happened......
