Crying in the wind
"Is this Juba?" Looking at the ruins of the city in front of him, Luffy asked tentatively.
"No, this is Almaru, the city that used to be called the Green City." slightly
"Green City? It's impossible to relate to that. “
A crowd walked among the ruins.
"Oh, there's nothing left here," Luffy kept looking around
"Yes, it's in ruins now, but not so long ago it was a city full of green and life."
"Really, fake." Sauron kicked the trunk of the next tree and found that the entire tree had completely dried up.
"It didn't rain much before, but the small amount of rain was stored to keep the city alive. However, during these three years, not a single drop of rain fell on the land of this country. “
"But even if it doesn't rain, there's the river we just crossed." Zoro
"yes, there's no way to bring water from that river." Usopp pointed to the Great River Channel
"The answer to this question is right ahead." The crowd continued onward.
"It has not rained for thousands of years in the history of Alabastan, but there is one place where it rains more than before, and that is Albana, the capital of Alabastan, where the king's palace is located, and everyone says it is a miracle of the king."
"Isn't that great?"
"Indeed, this is a good thing. But one day an incident happened, and people discovered that there were a large number of dancing fans in the palace. ”
Dancing powder. Nami was a little surprised.
"Dancing fan? What is that. Luffy turned to look at Nami.
"Dancing powder is called a powder called Calling for Rain, which was invented a long time ago by researchers in a country that does not rain, and that powder can produce misty smoke, and as long as it floats into the air, it can create artificial rain, which is dancing powder." Nami wanted everyone to explain.
"Wait, wouldn't that be the savior of this country if there really was such a thing?" Usopp
"Because of the war." At this time, Long Fei said lightly.
"Alas, war ?...." Usopp did not understand what Long Fei meant.
"Long Fei is right, it was like this at the beginning, and the country that invented dancing powder was also named because people were happy to dance. However, this powder has a big drawback, that is, a catastrophe in the neighboring country. ”
"The rain produced by dancing powder does not come out of thin air, it forcibly takes away the clouds that would naturally become rain clouds that would have drifted to other countries, causing drought in other countries. So the war broke out, and many people died, so the world government listed this powder as a contraband that was strictly forbidden to be sold and manufactured. ”
At that time, except for Albana, it was not raining in other cities of Alabastan. So the people thought that all this was caused by the king, and that the king had taken away the rain that belonged to everyone with dancing powder. "Micro
"Weiwei, what is this road for?" The crowd came to a riverbed that had dried up completely.
"This used to be the canal that brought the Santa Dora River into the city, and this canal was also secretly sabotaged, and even the canal was gone, and the Green City certainly couldn't guarantee a water source. Even though people kept praying, it still didn't rain. In order to survive, people left for other oases. The Green City just dried up. Weiwei's words were full of bitterness.
"Seeing this, you should understand what bad things the Baroque Workshop has done to our country, and what fate the people of Alabastan are suffering." The slight words silenced everyone.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly started, and there was a sound of "woo", "woo", "woo" and "woo" in the wind, like crying.
"Like, someone's voice." Nami
"Could it be the rebels?" Chopper
"Could it be that the people from the Baroque Workshop are chasing after them again?" Usopp
The sudden sound made everyone suspicious.
"It's just that the wind blowing through the streets resonates with the ruined buildings. There will be no danger. Still well-informed, Ace told the origin of the voice.
"But I'm more convinced that this is the cry of this dead city, because you have come here. It's telling you about your sorrows. Long Fei's tone was a little low, but because of the cloak, everyone couldn't see Long Fei's current expression.
At this time, a small sandstorm blew in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't open their eyes. After the sandstorm passed, everyone who opened their eyes found a person in front of them, but when everyone ran over, they realized that it was just a pair of rotten bones.
Squatted down slightly, holding the skull on the ground, "Father, what have the people of this country done, we were born in a desert country and constantly confronted nature, but the lives of people who are desperate to survive have become so bleak." What right does that guy have to do this, and he still calls himself a hero of the people in the name of the Seven Martial Seas, the one who deceived the country, but no one saw his plot, I will never forgive that person. He shouted in a slightly loud voice, with anger, sadness and a hint of guilt in his tone. Ever since Icalem's death, he had made up her mind not to shed tears anymore, and she burst into tears again.
"Boom" The angry Luffy punched through the wall, and then the entire building collapsed, and Luffy Sanji and Usopp, who were affected by the slight words and were enthusiastic, did not wait at this time to immediately find Klockdahl and beat him hard.
"Really, you're so childish." Zoro was rather speechless about Luffy's actions. Even Ace had a helpless expression on his face.
"It's normal to be childish, because I never felt like he had grown. Ace, yes. Long Fei looked up and said.
"Hehe, this guy has always been like this, and it hasn't changed in the slightest." Ace spread his hands.
Ace dug the pit with his hands, slightly lowered the skull into it and buried it, and then the group continued towards Juba.
Long Fei, who was walking at the end, bent down and picked up a weathered stone and held it up in front of him, "Klockdal, I don't want to care about what you want to do, and I can't control it, but you have hurt so many innocent people for your own selfish desires." You trample on life so much, and this is the only one I can't forgive. Long Fei shook his right hand, the stone in his hand was pinched and crushed, Long Fei waved his hand, and followed Luffy and the others......
Walking in the desert is also extremely challenging. Daytime temperatures in the desert can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius. Luffy and Usopp were panting with their tongues out, and Chopper, who was a creature in the Snow Country, was almost suffering from heat stroke, and could only lie on a stretcher with Zoro dragging forward.
At night, the temperature in the desert drops below freezing. Among the people, only Ace and Long Fei were not affected by the temperature. As a burning fruit, Ace itself is a flame, so naturally it does not feel hot and cold. And Long Fei runs the chakra of the water system and the fire system, and the change in temperature has little impact on Long Fei. Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper huddled to keep warm, and Nami, of course, was lying in Long Fei's arms. Sanji also wanted to let Weiwei lie and get pregnant, but unfortunately Weiwei refused.
In addition to the change in temperature in the desert, there are also many unexpected dangers, such as desert storms, and Long Fei and the others happened to encounter this situation, but fortunately, everyone was fine.
On the way, Luffy kept yelling for a bento, knowing that he couldn't resist Luffy's slight cure and promised to eat a bento at the next rock resting place.
"Good, rocky ground. Everyone hurry up to the rocky ground, and the winner of the guess will have to carry all the luggage. Luffy danced with his hands.
"Isn't it usually the people who lose to move?" Sanji complained
"Okay, come on, scissors, rock, paper. Haha, I won. Luffy won the guess punch and laughed happily, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
"It's heavy, it's heavy, it's hot." Luffy walked behind everyone alone with everyone's luggage.
"I obviously guessed that the fist won, why is this happening."
"It's because you guessed that you won, shut up and move obediently." Sanji Road
"You can't be left behind." Nami
"Dig your own pit and jump in." Long Fei didn't bother to pay attention to Luffy's idiot.
"yes, there's a rocky field up ahead." Usopp, who was ahead of him, found a rocky field.
"Really, it's time to rest, eat, eat." After saying that, Luffy, who was still half-dead, immediately disappeared in front of everyone at a speed faster than a 100-meter sprint. But after a while, everyone who was heading towards the rocky field saw Luffy running back with a shouting as if he was burning his buttocks.
