If there's anything more boring than the endless blue ocean when traveling in the middle of the ocean, a trip to the desert is certainly one of them.

Yellow sand everywhere, vaguely visible rocks, no grass and green trees, only a lonely color of earthy yellow everywhere. In addition, the high temperature of the sky caused by the direct sunlight and the heat absorption of sand and dust on the desert are also a kind of torment for those who walk on it, especially for Chopper.

Chopper is a reindeer living on a snowy island like Drum Island, and one of the characteristics of his body is that he is cold-resistant, but another point of cold-hardiness is that he is not heat-resistant. The heavy fur on the whole body can absorb as much heat as the sand and gravel on the ground.

This made Chopper gasp and ask with a tired look, "Haven't you arrived yet?" Vivi. ”

"Tony-kun, it's almost there. It only takes about half a day to reach Juba, so hold on a little longer. ”

Chopper held up his heavy body, "Okay then, I'll hold on a little longer." ”

"What do you say to insist, the most important thing to insist on is me."

After Chopper finished speaking, there was an unkind statement on the side, and the person who spoke was a man with a wide body and a fat body, and he showed a contemptuous attitude towards Chopper's patience and persistence, and he seemed to be very unconcerned. And Chopper only stepped back a little bit from him and responded, and Wei Wei also didn't care about him, and it can be seen that this man is not happy in this team. The man was Valpo, the former king of Drum Island, and at this moment he was not really out of the king's identity, and when talking to other people, it was natural that the king's momentum was attached, but this momentum was not without exception.

A man lay on his side on Valpo's not wide shoulder, his body seemed lazy and steady, it was hard to imagine how he managed to keep his stability on such uneven shoulders, if it were Chopper in his usual state, he would definitely say, "I want to learn, I want to learn." Delicate as God's darling-like appearance, white hair as neat as ice crystals in front of the eyes, shielding it from the sun from above, white skin exposed, but not affected by the scorching sun, like a piece of ice crystals that will not melt for thousands of years. The man seemed to be worried about Valpo's sweat, and a heavy leather blanket was draped over his shoulders.

This is the man who spoke up when Valpo made the remark that "the king is invincible".

"Valpo, be quiet."

The plain, ordinary and not passionate words made Valpo's body stagnate slightly, and sweat appeared on his forehead that was inconsistent with the natural flow. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes... Be! ”

This man was Fang Xing, Valpo's royal momentum, and in front of Fang Xing, the culprit who defeated his kingship, was an exception.

"But Master Fang Xing, do you really have the blueprints of the Hades?" Valpo asked tentatively.

Fang Xing slowly filled his eyes, yawned, and replied flatly, "Yes." ”

Hearing this, Valpo's wheezing intensified, and he said impatiently: "Then make him!" ”

"How do you know about the Immortal?"

Fang Xing did not rush to refuse, nor did he give an answer, but asked Valpo about this. Although Hades is an absolute killer known in the world of pirates, it is a word that is basically untouchable for people with no ambitions. Especially a king like Valpo, who has no other attention to eating than food, basically will not have any contact.

"That's because of the people before me, of course."

"You mean the people of the Baroque Workshops?"

Valpo nodded, "Didn't a group of people come to negotiate a few days ago?" Then I was in charge of solving it, and I inquired about the Hades they were asking for. ”

"You're rare in wisdom." Fang Xingruo said with understanding, and then he lowered his voice and did not continue to talk to Valpo. Without his permission, Valpo did not dare to ask any more questions, and the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

For the conversation between the two, Chopper looked confused, countless doubts filled his heart, and he was a reindeer full of curiosity, and his anxious heart made him finally choose to ask the more familiar Vivi.

"Vivi, what are they talking about Hades?"

Hades?

Vivi didn't expect Chopper to ask this question, she was stunned for a moment, and then after coming back to her senses, she slowly recalled the meaning of this word in her mind.

She slowly constructed the words, and finally said: "I am not very familiar with the words of the Hades, but I have seen it recorded in the book, it is a legendary ancient weapon, which has the power to destroy the country. ”

"Destroy... Country? Chopper looked incredulous, even a little shocked. The most lethal weapon it has ever touched is the cannonball. If the beam from Valpo's mouth is also a weapon, then it should be that attack. But that attack would at best destroy a slightly larger building. It is a drop in the bucket from the level of destroying the country, and the two cannot be compared. It couldn't imagine what kind of weapon it was, let alone imagine that the blueprint of that weapon would be in Fang Xing's hands.

Because of this result, it is simply the Grim Reaper in the book who holds its artifact scythe. Although Chopper didn't think that Fang Xing had reached the point of harvesting life like the god of death, he definitely couldn't have anything to do with decent people, so you can imagine how terrible that Hades would be in his hands.

Like Chopper, Vivi's heart is not calm, which is why she was stunned just now. It's just that she didn't because of the lethality of the weapon, nor because Fang Xing had the weapon blueprint, but because she didn't know... It is not clear what the Baroque Workshops, the pawns of Klokdal's encroachment on the kingdom, are looking for this lethal weapon. She was a little concerned that the weapon was intended for use in Alabastan.

The trip continued, but it didn't last long, and the peace was shattered.

From the wind and sand not far away, a figure suddenly appeared, with old clothes and vicissitudes of life, looking like a poor civilian.

"Is that a rebel?" Chopper asked.

"I don't know, maybe I am." Wei Wei shook her head, she hadn't really seen the rebel army, how could she tell if it was a rebel army, but from that conservative appearance, she could guess that it should be the victims of drought persecution.

Just as Vivi noticed the rebels, the rebels noticed them, and they were even more agitated by the comparison.

"Look! It's Princess Vivi! ”

"It's Princess Vivi!"

The rebels shouted frantically, spreading the news.

"You look welcome." Chopper said to Vivi.

In this situation, Wei Wei was also a little confused, "The news I'm coming, Kosha shouldn't know." ”

At this time, lying on the local line, he slowly straightened up, and said in a mocking tone, "Are you sure that you are a childhood sweetheart with that Kou Sha, not a life and death grudge?" ”

"What do you mean?" Vivi raised an eyebrow.

"What else does it mean?" Valpo picked up the rock out of nowhere, held it in one hand and pushed it into his mouth, "The meaning of attack." ”

Fang Xing also jumped off Valpo's shoulder at this time, and Valpo hurriedly removed the blanket, he didn't dare to do it when Fang Xing was on his shoulder.

"Look at the gun strap on the other side, if the other party is not hostile, it will be carried on the back instead of in the hand."

Following what Fang Xing said, everyone noticed that the other party did hold the gun in his hand, and rushed over menacingly, no matter how he looked like he was greeting guests.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before they could get closer, the rebels pulled the trigger on them.

Chopper was startled by a bullet that shot into the sand in front of him, and jumped to his feet, "Yes. The other party shoots, what should I do? ”

"Looks like the rebel leader made the right choice." Valpo chewed on the stone, like the cold stone in his mouth, and he spoke coldly. He didn't panic at the bullet of the other party, and with the ability to swallow the fruit, he had already converted the heavy metal he ate into armor and draped it over his body, as if he was wearing a body armor with steel plates, and it was covered by 360 degrees.

Vivi gritted her teeth, unwilling to believe Valpo's possibility, "Kosha wouldn't do that kind of thing, he's not that kind of person. ”

She believes that Kosha, who can protect her at the risk of protecting her, is not the kind of villain who is greedy for power. And he was also her friend, and she believed in friends.

"Believe it or not, do you have to make a choice, fight or escape?" Fang Xing put the power to make decisions to Wei Wei.

Wei Wei did not hesitate, there was no time for her to hesitate in such a situation, since she chose to believe, then believe to the end, she sank her heart and immediately said: "Run!" ”

This answer was not unexpected by Fang Xing, in fact, he also agreed with this method. Although it would be much easier to break through head-on, but the other party was civilian, even if he tried his best to control the power, but even a slight clapping action might cause fatal damage to those people. An emotional fluctuation can cause countless tragedies for which they have died. At this moment, he was feeling the pain of passing from one side. Another reason why he favored this decision was because he knew that it couldn't be Kosha's decision.

After all, from the impression in his memory, he knew that Kosha was not the kind of person Valpo said, even if there was a big change in his whole world, but he didn't think it could affect a person's character. I'm afraid that where he doesn't know, what strategy Klockdahl has exercised is a little more convincing.

"Damn, they escaped!" The rebels shouted anxiously. "Inform the others!"

The yellow sand in the desert is like the sand next to the beach, and it is difficult for the soles of the feet to move all the strength on it, and the feet often feel weak and weak.

This is especially true for the rebel army, because of the large number of people, the surrounding yellow sand is undulating, and the sand is difficult to stabilize.

And Vivi sits on Karui's body, and Karui, who is a fast duck, can play the characteristics of speed in any scene. Chopper is in the form of a reindeer, and although his body is weak due to the hot weather, he can run on all fours much faster than ordinary people. Valpo used his swallowing ability to transform his legs into the form of rollers, which were grooved and could move freely on sand. Fang Xing jumped on Valpo's body and unceremoniously enjoyed the throne.

Seeing that the target was getting farther and farther away, the rebels became more and more anxious. One of them, apparently with a small head, struggled to pull out a flare from his pocket. The signal flare that should have sounded the moment he met Wei Wei was now sinking into his palm like a thousand pounds. If the leader of their army is not awake, if the flare is sounded, it means that all the rebels will be alarmed. And at this time, if there is no one to lead them, it will be inevitable that there will be commotion, and even unimaginable results.

But just let go of Princess Vivi, who attacked the leader, and he didn't allow it.

In the midst of a difficult decision, the man chose to sound the flare, he aimed the flare gun in the air, and then struck the trigger.

After frantically escaping for a while, it was not until they saw the next resting rock that Vivi and the others slowly stopped.

"It seems that the other party did not continue to chase." Vivi said.

Chopper sat down abruptly, panting heavily, and it was unbearable to let a reindeer with heavy fur run fast on such a hot day. It took out the water from its backpack and set it aside, trying to rest, but before it could rest enough, a wail came from the other side. They were bird creatures with sharp beaks lying in the shadow of the rocks, scarred all over their bodies.

"Oh no! There are wounded birds here. Wait a minute, I'll treat you right away. ”

Chopper turned around and immediately healed one of them from the baggage beside him.

At this time, Vivi also noticed Chopper's actions and shouted, "Chopper! That's a big liar! It's the deceitful traveler, it's the desert thief who steals the luggage! ”

Seeing that the disguise was pierced, the big deception bird stopped pretending, and immediately picked up Chopper's backpack, turned around and flew up.

Chopper shook his head, and when he saw that the big deception bird was about to escape, a figure appeared in the air.

Fang Xing stood easily in the air, but just such a slight movement, which might only be called an action of gazing, locked him firmly in the air.

"Don't touch my medicine."

The big deception bird's face showed the kind of sadness that humans begged for forgiveness, and wanted Fang Xing to let them go.

Fang Xing sighed and put on an attitude of "I'll forgive you", the big deception bird was happy on his face, but the joy didn't last long, Fang Xing immediately changed the expression on his face again, "Lied to you." I don't think I'm a good person to forgive the thief who stole my drugs. ”

After using the birds as food, Valpo burped, and he hadn't tasted meat for a long time, having been nibbling on rocks.

But this enjoyment did not last long, and while he was still savoring the deliciousness of the food, the shouts of the rebels were heard in the distance.

"Princess Vivi is there!"

"Kill her!"

"Damn it, you're disturbing Lord Benvalpo's time to reminisce, be careful that I swallow you all one by one! Now that you're full, let's give you a taste of the power of the Valpo Beam. ”

Valpo opened his mouth, and the light source slowly accumulated in his mouth, and just as he was about to shoot out the beam, Valpo slowly closed.

In front of his eyes, there was a damn scene!

I saw that the rebels were like ants that had been stabbed in an ant's nest, and they all rushed up together, as dense as the yellow sand, making the scalp tingle of anyone with dense phobia, and Valpo was obviously one of them. Seeing this damn scene, his scalp couldn't help but tingle.
