Chapter 104: Juba

After the fight, the Straw Hats hit the road again, this time with eyelashes and the camel holding Nami and Weiwei, and Luffy's advance speed increased dramatically, and finally arrived at Yuba at night.

"Why is the temperature difference between day and night here so exaggerated!" Usopp tightened his clothes, he felt the cold wind blowing into his body, and he wanted to rip off Chopper's fur.

"The night temperature in the desert can be below freezing," replied Vivi, who rode a camel.

"Liar?! Can it go below zero? Usopp exclaimed in surprise, then he looked at Vivi and Nami on top of the camel, and asked suspiciously, "Then why do I think you are not cold at all?" ”

At this time, Vivi and Nami looked relaxed, letting their robes sway in the wind, which was completely different from the state of the straw hat boy group who wanted to shrink into a group, and looked no different from the daytime.

Well...... Except for Aaron, those who are not included in the specifications are not counted in the straw hat men and women.

"I don't know why, my eyelashes are super warm!" Nami said, "It's like there's a heat in the hump of the eyelashes that spreads to us."

"Is there such a thing?!" Usopp was amazed, "Are the camels of Alabastan so powerful?" ”

"No," Vivi shook her head, "the other camels, like the camels outside, don't have this ability. ”

"Of course!" Aaron suddenly interjected, and he said with a smug face, "That's a sun-flavored hamburger, how can it not have any effect after eating it!" ”

"What do you mean, Aaron?" Usopp asked curiously.

"Eyelashes have evolved!" Aaron jerked out his arms and looked happy as if to tell you that you were cuckolded.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's a little uncomfortable to see you like this," Usopp said speechlessly, and then he couldn't hide his curiosity, "Evolved?" Does your burger still have this effect? ”

"No," Aaron scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just made it with a sudden burst of inspiration, and now I can't make another one..."

"What is the principle of your evolution?" looked at the eyelashes not far away from the muscles exposed by the green tendons. Usopp couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, your own existence is very unscientific, and sure enough, none of the things that are on your side are in line with common sense..."

"Okay, don't bother with Aaron, he was born to break common sense, just get used to it" Sanji stepped forward and patted Usopp on the shoulder, "Didn't you hear any strange sounds compared to this?" ”

"Huh?" When everyone heard Sanji's words, they listened attentively, and for a while silence returned to the surroundings.

In the middle of the night, everyone heard a muffled sound like a cow's roar and thunder, coming from far and near.

"This voice..."Wei Wei frowned slightly, she thought back to the voice just now, for a while, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and then her face changed greatly, "It's not good, it's a sandstorm!" ”

"Nani?!" When everyone heard Weiwei's exclamation, they hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see that the sky in the distance suddenly appeared black, constantly extending forward, constantly getting bigger and wider.

Like the blanket of the god of the night, it obscures the moonlight and the firmament

Desert Death, Sandstorm!

"Hurry up and lie down!" Zoro yelled, and then he lunged forward, knocking Usopp and Chopper to the ground.

The rest of the people also lay down, and everyone quietly waited for the sandstorm to arrive.

Whew!

In an instant, the roaring wind enveloped everyone with the yellow sand in the sky, and the yellow dragon soared, and the heavens and the earth seemed to fall into chaos.

Nature does not discriminate, and under this mighty sky, there is no difference between humans and ants.

Everyone lay on the ground, buried their heads deeply, and curled up to defend themselves against the ravages of the sandstorm.

Apart from......

"Stop playing asshole!" Everyone roared in unison, and everyone glared at the yellow unidentified object in the air.

"Hahahahahaha~" The laughter like a magic bell was mixed with the angry wind and sand, as if the original solemn concert suddenly sounded the cries of the vegetable market outside, which was not only abrupt, but also had no atmosphere.

I saw that in mid-air, Aaron was carried up to the sky by the wind and sand, and at this time he was scurrying around in the sky.

At the moment when he just lay down, the stupid roe deer didn't react, and then by the time he did, it was too late.

And so he spiraled into the sky.

"This idiot!" Sauron looked at it for a moment, and then he had to bow his head because of the wind and sand, and he shouted in a loud voice, "Don't he know to lie down! ”

"Oh roar! Looks like a lot of fun! Yo West! I'll do it tooβ€”" "You bastard, don't make any more trouble! ”

I had long expected that Aaron, who saw Luffy, would also follow the stupid things that he was about to do, and the Straw Hats had already gathered around Luffy in advance, and sure enough, after seeing Luffy's tendency to stand up, everyone rushed forward and pressed him to the ground.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't stop me! Such a fun game can't be left to Aaron's own! Luffy kept writhing his body and trying to crawl out of the oppression.

"Shut up! Don't mess with me anymore! Seeing that Luffy was still clamoring to follow in Aaron's footsteps, Nami suddenly became angry and smacked Luffy's head three times.

duang!duang!duang!

"What now?" Usopp looked up at Aaron in mid-air, "Aaron, this guy will definitely be blown away by the sandstorm!" ”

Look at the present, within the range of sandstorms, Aaron's figure can be seen almost everywhere.

High and low, left and right, up and down, back and forth.

It's like being hit by a sandstorm.

"Damn! I'm now a little suspicious that this bastard did it on purpose! Unable to lift his head for a long time, Sanji had to lower his head, and after hearing Aaron's long laughter, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Leave him alone, that guy must have a way to find us, and when the sandstorm stops, let's move on!" Nami yelled, and then she said subtly, "When he comes back, I'll educate this stinky boy!" ”

……

Twenty minutes later, Sandstorm left the crowd with Aaron in his arms, his aching magic smile.

After making sure that the sandstorm had indeed drifted away, everyone slowly got up from the sand, and everyone shook the sand on their bodies silently, and after a simple trimming, they continued to move forward without saying a word.

At this time, everyone was holding back a force in their hearts, and as soon as Aaron returned, this energy would erupt as fiercely as a volcano.

As for why...

You go listen to SpongeBob SquarePants' laughter for twenty minutes!

……

"How could it be..."Vivi looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief, "Juba, how did you become like this?!" ”。

"It's no different from Elmar," Zoro looked around, "the only difference is probably that there are more rooms here." ”

Sand, covered everywhere, tall mud towers, cascading houses, dying coconut palms, everything here is covered with sand.

It is a city that is gradually being extinguished by sand.

"Isn't this an oasis? Vivi? Luffy looked at Vivi with some confusion.

"Gravel raises the ground...... Flood the oasis" Vivi looked at the endless gravel in front of her, and a huge sadness suddenly hit Vivi's chest, and she was a little out of breath.

Sonor!

Suddenly, the sound of shovels shoveling sand came from a hole not far away.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and found a rickety old man with his back to the crowd, digging a pit with a shovel after shovel

"Is it a traveler? Desert travel is tiring, right? The old man didn't turn around, he was still shoveling sand shovel by shovel, "I'm sorry, the city has dried up"

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head, revealing an emaciated and haggard old face full of ravines, "However, you can rest here, and the place to stay is as much as you need here......

"Excuse me, I heard that there are rebel troops in this city......" Luffy was about to ask the old man.

"What are you looking for the rebels?!" After hearing this, the originally calm old man instantly burst out, he casually picked up the empty bucket next to him, and smashed it at Luffy and the others, "Do you want to join the rebel army?!" ”

"Wow wow! Why are you suddenly angry?" everyone easily dodged the old man's attack.

"Those bastards...... I'm not in this city anymore" After venting, the old man regained his composure, and he replied to Luffy's words lightly.

"What?! How so?! "I came all the way to Juba to look for the rebels to stop the war, but I found that the rebels were no longer in the city, and even the Straw Hats couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"The sandstorm just now didn't just start today, it started three years ago, continuous sunshine, dry land, constant sandstorms, the city was submerged little by little, and the oasis in the past has become the ghost it is now." Perhaps he had not told anyone for a long time and was in a panic, but the old man slowly told Juba about the situation in recent years, "The flow of materials here has also stopped, and there is no way for the rebel army to continue its protracted war... So they have moved their base camp to Katerea. ”

"Katelea?!" "Where is that, Vivi? Is it close to here? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The closest oasis to Narohara"

"What about Rohara?!" "Then what are we doing here?!"

"Vivi?! You just called her Weiwei?! Ignoring the straw hats who were gradually in a mess, the old man looked at Vivi in surprise.

β€œοΌοΌβ€ Hearing the old man's words, everyone thought that it was another ignorant person blinded by the sand crocodile who wanted to be unfavorable to Weiwei, so they hurriedly protected Weiwei behind them, and at the same time, Luffy waved his hands and said in a panic, "Weiwei is not a princess!" ”

Well, I confessed to Vivi in an instant.

"You idiot! What a mouth! The angry crowd couldn't wait to close Luffy's mouth.

"Is Xiao Weiwei you?!" The old man then exclaimed.

"Hmm... I'm, that, may I ask who you are..."Wei Wei looked at the old man with some confusion, Xiao Wei Wei's title... It's been a long time.

"You're still alive!" Hearing Weiwei's admission, the old man crawled out of the pit excitedly, "It's me!" Don't you recognize me yet? ”

"You are..."Wei Wei looked at the familiar face in front of her, and couldn't remember who it was for a while...

Rumble!

However, at this moment, a foreign object suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the pit where the old man was just now, and for a while, the yellow sand was filled.

......When the sand cleared, the crowd found a little boy in a pink tights buried his head deep in the sand like an ostrich.

Well, it's Aaron.

With a click, Aaron struggled to pull his head out, and then he fluttered the sand on his hair, and looked at everyone with a somewhat confused look, and after a while, his expression became extremely excited, and he stood up with a bang, laughing and shouting: "One more time, one more time!" ”

Live like a psychopath.
