Pirates: I Created the Murloc Empire Single-handedly

"Use the palm of your hand to hit the opponent's jaw hard, be sure to use force! The human jaw is very fragile. If it is hit by an external force, it will cause temporary fainting and unable to control the body! At that time, you can take further actions Got it!"

On the deck of the Sunshine Pioneer, Aaron patiently explained to Charlie the essentials of fish-man karate.

Charlie listened very carefully and studied eagerly.

After the theoretical class, Aaron ordered the karate boys on the boat to practice sparring with Xia Li.The two sides were fighting with each other in a serious manner, and it seemed that they were already quite formal.

"Brother Aaron, a huge island was discovered in the sea ahead!"

The observer on the observation deck put down his monocular telescope and reported to Aaron.

"is it?"

Aaron quickly came to the bow of the ship, took out the telescope produced by the system, and immediately saw a huge island stretching as far as the eye could see.This was the first time since he traveled to the world of pirates that he saw such a large island with no end in sight at an altitude of 3000 meters.

"It should be Shengting Island!"

Shengting Island is one of the few large islands on the Grand Line. Alabasta, one of the largest countries on the Grand Line, is located on this island.

Albana, the capital of Alabasta, has a total population of more than 1000 million and a standing army of 60!This number even exceeds the entire strength of the Navy Headquarters in the entire Grand Route!

The strength of Alabasta’s national power can be seen from this!

Later, the secret criminal organization "Baroque Cooperative" led by King Shichibukai Crocodile carried out the "Operation Utopia" here, just to steal the power of Alabasta.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the Baroque Works, the people believed that the long-lasting drought in the country was caused by the king's private use of the rain-inducing agent "dancing powder", which triggered a civil war with heavy casualties.

Later, with the efforts of Princess Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates, Crocodile was defeated, and rain fell from the sky to alleviate the drought and quell the war.

Aaron took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"It has been 9 and a half hours since we left Sky Island, and there is still half an hour to go until 10 hours! The speed of the Sunshine Pioneer is about 50 kilometers per hour, which means that the distance from Sky Island to Alabasta is Within 500 kilometers..."

According to this distance, if an aircraft with a speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour can be built in the future, the commuting time between the two islands can be reduced to less than 3 hours!

"If Alabasta can be turned into the second place of settlement for the fishmen, Sky Island can continuously obtain supplies from Alabasta..."

The biggest factor that can restrict the size of the population of empty islands is insufficient resources.

The total area of ​​Ping An Island has been confirmed after surveying and mapping to be 347 square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to the general area within the 4th ring road of the Chinese capital.Even if such a large area is used to grow crops, it cannot satisfy the consumption of a million people.

What's more, in addition to food, there are also needs for various living and production materials such as medicines and clothing.

Alabasta, with its vast area, large population and abundant products, can solve this problem.

Aaron couldn't help but wonder: "Alabasta is full of deserts. I wonder if there is oil buried under the desert here?"

The customs and customs of Alabasta are very similar to those of the Arabian region in its previous life. Both are famous for their numerous deserts.Many places in the Arab region are rich in oil, which made Aaron think of it.

Of course, this association lacks any basis in reality.

Whether there is oil in Alabasta still requires on-the-spot investigation.And even if it is discovered that there are rich oil reserves in the area, according to the current technological level, there is still no way to carry out large-scale exploitation and utilization.

"It's so hot!"

An hour later, the Sunshine Pioneer finally arrived over Alabasta.In order to avoid attracting attention, the Sunshine Pioneer lowered its flight altitude and maintained an altitude of about 100 meters from the ground.

However, as a summer island, Alabasta has a hot and dry climate all year round, and the average daytime temperature often remains above 30 degrees.Especially in desert areas, it is even more unbearably hot.

The sailors, who had just come off the empty island and were still dressed in spring clothes, were all so hot that they could only hide in the shadows and enjoy the slightest coolness.

"It's so hot, brother! I can't stand it anymore. When can we arrive?"

As a mermaid, this was the first time in her life that Charlie experienced such a high temperature. Even though she drank water frequently, her mouth still felt dry and she couldn't feel energetic about anything.

Aaron, on the other hand, seemed to be a normal person, writing and drawing on the table without any hesitation.

"Why are you so anxious? It will naturally cool down when your mind is calm!"

"We should pass by the Sundora River, the largest river in Alabasta, later. I will stop and let you go down and take a bath! Just be patient for now!"

However, until dark, the sailors on the Sunshine Pioneer could not see the shadow of the Santaola River.

"Damn it, this Alabasta is too big!"

As a last resort, Aaron could only find a huge sand dune on the ground, and then parked the boat on the side of the dune.He had been flying the Sunshine Pioneer for thirteen or four hours continuously, and he was already feeling a little tired.

Devil Fruit skills require a certain amount of energy. Being able to hold on for more than ten hours is already an amazing feat of endurance.

Early the next morning, the Sunshine Pioneer set sail again.

However, after setting sail for a whole morning, Aaron still could not see any trace of the Santaola River.At this time, he had to consider a very serious fact.

"You idiot, you have to consider the impact of lowering the flight altitude! It's okay now, you just got lost, and everyone will suffer with you!"

After learning about the situation of getting lost, Charlie gave Aaron a serious lecture.

It’s almost noon again, and this is the hottest time of the day!To make matters worse, the fresh water on the Sunshine Pioneer has been exhausted, and everyone has begun to rely on rum to quench their thirst.

Drinking on a hot day will make you feel hotter!

As a last resort, Aaron immediately raised his flying height, and then took out the life card pointer made by Franky.

This is a box the size of an ordinary compass. Unlike a compass, the pointer inside neither points to the guide nor the north. Instead, it is covered with a layer of life cards that specifically point in the direction of the owner of the life card.

"Let's go back. It would be best if we can encounter a city! If we are unlucky and cannot see the city, then we will sail again along the coastline of Alabasta! This time we won't get lost again! "

After sailing back for more than an hour, the sailors on the observation deck finally found traces of the city.

"There is a huge city ahead. I saw a pyramid. There are so many people over there!"

"Great, we're going to be saved!"
