After that, the old man Doto and Vivi recognized each other, and Aaron was beaten into a dog.

"Aaron, where did you come from?" Nami clapped her hands, and she asked naturally.

"The nest seems to have been cut and destroyed by me..."Aaron, who had been cut into a dog's head, tried his best to make his words clear, but to no avail.

"Forget it, you'd better wait and talk about it" Nami looked at Aaron who had a big face and plate a little speechless, and couldn't help but look back and complain, "You guys are too ruthless, you actually beat Aaron like this"

Everyone: "Isn't the most ruthless yourself!" ”

"......" Wei Wei looked at the Straw Hats who were fighting again, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Vivi, you must stop the rebels!" At this time, Doto tugged at Vivi's shirt, "Time and time again, I've tried to stop them countless times!" But this time, no matter what I say, it's useless! ”

"The rebels have reached the limit of their physical strength, and they have decided to fight it out in the next attack." After a pause, this resolute old man who kept digging pits day after day year shed tears, "They have decided to fight hard!" ”

"Please, little Weiwei! Please stop those fools! ”

The surroundings suddenly returned to calm, and everyone looked at Weiwei quietly.

Vivi looked at Doto in a daze, and then she slowly walked into Doto, took out her handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Doto, and said softly, "Don't worry, Uncle Doto"

"Little Weiwei..."

"I'm going to stop the rebels!" The smile is beautiful, like the last bloom of life.

“！” When everyone heard Weiwei's answer, the expressions on their faces were a little intriguing.

……

The city of Juba, in a certain room.

"Ah~ Everyone, everyone has worked hard today! So grab a good night's sleep and have a good night for tomorrow's journey! Usopp looked at the bed in front of him, the corners of his mouth gradually inflated, and he jumped into one of the beds with a sharp slam, and was about to get ready for bed.

Bang! "What are you tired of? It's not like I've been sleeping all the time," Zoro threw a pillow at Usopp.

Bang! "I'm not in good shape! I'm not a monster like you! Usopp threw another pillow on Zoro with his backhand, kicking off the pillow fight.

All of a sudden, all kinds of pillows flew all over the sky.

"Hahaha~ Pillow party, I like it!" Aaron laughed and looked at the flying pillow, and he picked up one himself, ready to give Gary a treat.

"Cat?" Gary looked coldly at the pillow in Aaron's hand, the volute on his back faintly flashing with blue light

His meaning is obvious.

Do you give one a try?

"Uh..." Aaron scratched his head and put down the pillow he had raised, "Forget it, I'd better go play with Luffy..."

With that, he went to Luffy with a pillow.

Although Gary's shelling didn't have much effect on Aaron, it took a long time to wait for regeneration after being blasted into carbon, and maybe the pillow battle would be over after it was restored, which meant that if you threw a pillow at Gary, it would be equivalent to throwing a pillow out and then going to sleep.

Fools like Aaron also know that this is a super bad deal!

……

"Uncle, hasn't the water come out yet? My throat is dying! At this time, Luffy was sitting in the big pit and quietly watching Doto dig a hole, "You can still live in this kind of place, uncle, you are very powerful!" ”、

"The water will come out... The oasis of Juba is still alive," said Doto calmly, his hands moving non-stop, and he said as he shoveled the earth, "Juba will not be drowned in the sand, I will dig it up, this is the precious land that the king has given me!" ”

“…… Oh" Luffy looked at Doto for a moment, then he stood up with a carp, he leaned down and frantically scraped the sand beneath him like a mole, "Then dig it up!" ”

"Hey! Don't get sand into the hole I dug! Duoto looked at Luffy who was digging a hole a little speechlessly, and all the sand he dug out fell into the hole that Duoto had just dug, "I said you want to bury the hole I dug, right?!" ”

"Huh?" Luffy stopped his movements and looked at Doto with some confusion, "No, I'm digging a hole"

"I mean, all the sand you dug fell into my hole, then I dug for nothing!" Doto pointed to the shallow hole beneath him.

"......" Luffy looked at Tato for a moment, "Ah! What an incredible hole! ”

"That's not what it means!"

"Huh? Luffy, why are you here? At this time, Aaron's voice suddenly came from outside the pit, and I saw that he was holding a large pillow with a confused expression.

"I'm digging a hole!"

"Digging a hole?" Aaron repeated, "What are you digging a hole for?" ”

"Dig up Juba!"

"Juba? Why did you dig up Juba? ”

"I don't know, that's what Uncle said anyway"

"Uncle, why did you dig up Juba?"

“…… Hehe," looking at Aaron, who was looking at him with innocent eyes, Doto's face couldn't help but soften slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh, "You are all good boys! ”

"Uh... Actually, we're not children anymore" Hearing Doto's exclamation, Aaron couldn't help scratching his cheeks,

"Why did you dig up Juba—" Without replying to Aaron's grumbling, Doto slowly repeated Aaron's question, and then he looked into the distance,

"In order to... The future of this country! ”

……

In the middle of the night.

"Already asleep?" Doto looked down at the big pit that Luffy had dug out, and when he saw Luffy falling asleep at the bottom of the pit, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, "It's a... What a strange child."

Then he carefully climbed down the pit, picked up Luffy on his back, and slowly climbed up.

"......" Then Doto walked to the edge of the pit, he looked at Aaron who was sleeping with a pillow, and couldn't help but lean down and gently pat his cheek, "Wake up!" Wake up! ”

"Huh? Luffy, have you finished digging? Aaron, who felt the vibration of his face, slowly opened his eyes, and he yawned, "But I don't want to play pillow fights now...... Let's go to sleep, shall we? ”

"That kid is already asleep" Doto looked at the sleepy-eyed Aaron and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you can go back to sleep too?" ”

"Huh?" Aaron finally woke up at this time, and he looked up at Doto, "Uncle, don't you sleep?" ”

"No, I'm going to dig a little more, this kid has already dug very deep, and if I work harder, maybe I can dig up the water today," Doto said with a smile, "and then save a few buckets of water, and slowly accumulate it, and the city will always get better." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to dig the water out? Why bother to catch water with a bucket again? Aaron asked, a little strangely.

"Because of the sandstorm," Doto smiled bitterly, "the city is cursed, and every once in a while there is a sandstorm that buries the water...... Alas, if there were fewer sandstorms, even once a month, the city would not have fallen to the field it is now. ”

"Why don't you want to solve it, uncle?"

"Why not? But what can we do as human beings to stop this kind of pure natural disaster? "But I'm not going to give up, I don't believe that the weather gods of Alabastan have abandoned us, and one day, everything will be fine." ”

"I'll send this kid back to his room first, you can go back to sleep quickly, the desert is very cold at night," said Doto, and slowly walked towards the house with Luffy on his back.

Aaron looked at Doto's rickety figure, he looked down at his hands again, and couldn't help but sigh, "Disaster..."

Then, as if he had made a decision, Aaron resolutely jumped into the pit that Luffy had dug.

Boom! Hit a.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Aaron stood up in embarrassment, he patted the sand on his body, and then leaned over and touched the sand on the soles of his feet, "Well, it's a little wet, probably almost digging into the water"

"Yo Xi!" Then Aaron rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender white arms, faintly reflecting the azure color in the moonlight, "Dig it!" ”

Boom Boom!

His hands instantly turned into afterimages, as if a thousand more arms were digging through the sand, and the crater slowly deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Aaron's hands were like two indestructible shovels, digging through the cold, hard sand with ease.

In just two minutes, Aaron had dug a quarter of the depth that Luffy had dug.

Laugh at!

At this time, a cool air spread from Aaron's hands to his brain, he stopped his movements, slowly removed his hand, and gurgled out of the hole that Aaron had dug, and in the blink of an eye, the water had already covered his ankles.

"Hmm... That's pretty much it," Aaron nodded in satisfaction, and he slowly climbed up the sand wall.

"Disaster..."Looking down at the small puddle where the water level was gradually rising, and then looking up at the ubiquitous gravel around him, Aaron couldn't help rubbing his chin and muttering meaninglessly.

"Hmm...... The water level is almost up" Aaron nodded as he looked at the pool that had overflowed a quarter of the pothole, and then he fumbled in his arms for a while, then pulled out a ball that shimmered in the moonlight.

"......" Aaron looked at the ball in his hand, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but in the end he still resolutely threw the ball into the pool.

……

Colorful brilliance flashed in the pool, and then the pool returned to normal.

It doesn't seem to be any different from before, but there seems to be some unknown change faintly.

"This should be fine..."Looking at the puddle of clear water, Aaron's lips moved, and his voice was so light that he couldn't even hear it clearly.

"This is—" At this time, Doto finally came out of the house, with a shovel, and was about to work all night, when he was stunned to find that the night's work had been exhausted by the child in front of him in just a few minutes.

made him unconsciously have a kind of "it's good to be young".

"Ah, it's uncle" Aaron turned his head to look at the inexplicably sentimental uncle, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and a beautiful smile bloomed on his face without warning, "Now uncle, you can go to sleep, right?" ”
