Pirates of the Void Swordsman

Oasis Juba, a ruined city.

What came into view was a dilapidated scene, with cracks visible to the naked eye on the surrounding buildings.

A few scattered trees are also showing a withered yellow color.

The scorching sun hangs high here, heat waves hit everyone, and the ground seems to be burning with blazing flames.

As soon as Kosha walked out of the room, he felt the heat all over his body. It felt like he was in a sauna, except that the sauna was unusually dry.

Clang!

Clang! !

Clang! ! !

The clang of iron tools rippled out from the wilderness of the earth, echoing in waves, as a group of Juba workers kept digging into the underground sand with shovels.

"Work harder!"

"We have dug into slightly moist soil!"

“We will be able to dig out underground water soon!!”

“The city of Juba will definitely survive tenaciously!!!”

Seeing that they would soon be able to dig out underground water, the sweating people were shaken and started to act even more vigorously.

As long as underground water can be dug, this depleted oasis will come alive again.

Water is the source of life and the hope in the desert.

As long as there is water, they can grow food and restore greenery to the city.

call! —

A breeze blew by, making the hot weather a little more comfortable.

A crumpled World Economic News newspaper was suddenly blown into a dilapidated street by the wind, and was then caught in Kousha's hand.

Kosa unfolded the newspaper in his hand and found that it was news from a few days ago. The headline was a picture of Fire Fist Ace, and it reported the news that Ace refused to become the King of the Shichibukai.

"Fire Fist Ace..." Kosha muttered the name softly.

"This guy should be the most dazzling new star this year. He has gained such a big reputation at such a young age." Nat next to him first glanced at the photos in the newspaper, and then said in surprise: "He actually rejected the seven kings. Wu Hai is really courageous."

"For a pirate like him, the Shichibukai may not mean much..." Kosa looked at Ace's photo and whispered.

"Is it meaningless? Master Crocodile is also a Shichibukai. He is powerful and protects this country. You can often see him in newspapers!" Nat didn't understand Kosa's words very well, and maybe not all of them. The Shichibukai silently protect the country like Crocodile-sama.

"Hero of Alabasta..." Kosha shook his head and smiled.

He lowered his head and looked at the information recorded in the newspaper in detail, and sure enough he found Crocodile's figure.

Newspapers reported Crocodile's heroic incident of protecting the country and catching pirates. People around the world praised the incident and enthusiastically supported the Navy Headquarters' Shichibukai policy.

Because Sand Crocodile Crocodile, Tenyasha Doflamingo, Pirate Empress Boya Hancock, and Kaixia Jinbei are all the kings of the Shichibukai who protect their countries, their roles are self-evident.

With these prestigious Shichibukai as guardians, ordinary people couldn't be happier. For many people, the Shichibukai are heroes.

Even the World Government and the Navy Headquarters have great trust in the Shichibukai. As long as there are places with the Shichibukai, the Navy Headquarters will always let them go.

The same is true for Alabasta, Dressrosa, Fishman Island, Daughter Island, the Three Terrorist Ships, etc.

"..."

Kosha was silent while holding the newspaper in his hand.

Some things may not be true if you see them with your own eyes. How can ordinary people see clearly whether there is darkness or light behind a hero?

At any time, the truth is in the hands of a few people.

"I hope my arrival will not bring too many changes to the current Alabasta..."

Kousha sighed in his heart. He clearly understood how strong the King Shichibukai was, and it was not something that ordinary people could defeat.

He is not a savior. Even if he knows all the secrets, Kosha does not want to fight against Crocodile, because resistance will only lead to death!

Kosha only needs to maintain the status quo of the rebels and maintain the balance between the rebels and Alabasta.

Because according to the plot in the original work, the protagonist Luffy of this world will go to sea two years later and come to Alabasta to defeat Crocodile...

In other words, the civil strife in Alabasta will be ended by Luffy in two years.

He is not a hero, but an ordinary person who doesn't even have a system.

""

Kosha put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up into the distance.

Gradually, the red sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset sheds the last trace of sadness. The red light shines on the sand, as if it is stained by blood! !

Everything in front of him made Kosha narrow his eyes.

I don't know if it was because of the setting of the sun, but the wind in the street gradually became stronger. It gradually turned from a breeze to a strong wind, and waves came towards me, blowing Kosha's clothes flying.

suddenly,

In the desert on the horizon in the distance, a yellow line towering into the sky appeared, rolling forward rapidly and getting wider and wider, which was very spectacular.

Countless pieces of yellow sand rolled up into the sky, rising into the sky like a yellow dragon, making bursts of shrill roars.

"Everyone, evacuate as soon as possible!!!"

At this moment, a hysterical sound suddenly exploded in Kosha's ears. Its volume was as loud as thunder on dry land, and it made Kosha's ears buzz.

"Find a building and take shelter immediately!!"

"The sandstorm is coming!!!"

Nat's loud, wild voice instantly filled the streets.

The moment the voice fell,

Nat and Kosha immediately hid in the buildings on the street.

"Get down!!"

Kosha shouted to Nat, and then immediately lay down on the ground, trying to avoid the coming danger as much as possible.

The movement was so clean and neat that Kosha was stunned for a moment, as if it was an instinctive reaction. This body of his was as if he had experienced countless sandstorms!

"quick!!"

"Find a good place to hide!!"

"Get down!!"

Not far away, a group of Yuba workers who were digging for underground water also quickly started to escape.

Everyone in Yuba has some experience in facing the sandstorm that blocks the sky and the sun.

Because they have all experienced countless sandstorms.

call! ——

The sandstorm struck mercilessly, and the entire sky was dark and plunged into darkness.

A violent wind and sand swept over the sky, drowning everything in an instant.

Countless people were unable to open their eyes in the wind and sand, and their bodies were blown back and forth, struggling feebly.

The wind blew the earth "whirring", rolling up a thick layer of dust, and sand and stones flew all over the sky.

The trees rustled, the flying gravel hit the surrounding buildings, making a "clang" sound, and the air was filled with a choking yellow sand.

The sandstorm seemed to be extremely long. I don't know how long it took. It wasn't until Kousha felt that he was about to suffocate that the sandstorm gradually calmed down.

As the sandstorm passed, people slowly got up.

At this moment, what people saw was an extremely cruel scene!
