Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

Alabasta.

Two days later, Cheng Cheng jumped off the somersault cloud on the coast, while Tuanzi followed him slowly and heavily, carrying a sword on his back.

Cheng Cheng looked around and saw a sky full of yellow sand and a low dome-shaped building in the distance.

There is only heat and dryness in the air, without a trace of moisture.

Stepping on the yellow sand on the ground will make a rustling sound, which makes Cheng Cheng, who has not walked through the desert, feel a little novel, but he can't stand the high temperature on the ground, and it feels like his shoes are about to catch fire.

Tuanzi followed him seven or eight meters away. It was extremely difficult for her to walk in the desert because she was carrying the Zhenhai Sword weighing more than 100 kilograms and the yellow sand on the ground was very soft.

This made her feet sink about ten centimeters with every step she took. Coupled with the yellow sand whose surface temperature was as high as forty degrees, every step she took felt like she was stepping on charcoal fire.

After walking for a while, Tuanzi's cloth shoes were worn out, with five toes exposed. Sweat flowed from his forehead down his cheeks, dripping like raindrops on the yellow sand.

Because the temperature on the ground was too high, the sweat evaporated quickly as soon as it came into contact with the yellow sand.

"If you are tired, you can give me the Zhenhai Sword first, and you can carry it for me when you get to the town." Cheng Cheng turned back to Tuanzi and said.

Tuanzi didn't speak, but responded to him with extremely determined eyes.

Cheng Cheng didn't say anything else and continued to move forward, but his pace quietly slowed down a bit.

I looked up and looked at the distance to the town again. It was about two kilometers away.

This unknown town is small and dense. In the vast yellow sand, except for that small town, the only thing left is yellow sand that fills the sky, seeming to swallow up the whole world.

Suddenly, Cheng Cheng felt he stepped on something hard. He kicked it away and saw a white human skull that had been dried. He kicked the sand away again and saw a white human skeleton next to it.

After walking another 500 meters, I saw a man half buried in the yellow sand. When I took a closer look, I found that the man's upper body had been weathered, and the bones could be seen in the weathered position.

Cheng Cheng's face became more solemn as he walked. Along the way to the town, he had already seen five or six corpses in the yellow sand. As for the invisible ones buried deep in the yellow sand, it was impossible to guess.

He was not afraid of these things, but looking at these corpses, he felt a little pity.

Tuanzi was walking behind. At this moment, her two pairs of shoes had been completely worn out, and her feet had become bloody. The blood on her feet was mixed with yellow sand and solidified together.

However, she had long lost consciousness and asked with difficulty: "Master, why are there so many dead people on the road?"

"Probably because of the lack of water."

Cheng Cheng didn't tell Tuanzi too many details. After handing her a fairy bean, the wound on Tuanzi's foot quickly began to heal.

"Apprentice, does it hurt?"

Tuanzi nodded and said seriously: "It hurt at first, but it doesn't hurt anymore, and I think it's worth it."

"Ever since I carried my master's sword on my back, I can feel my strength growing every moment."

Cheng Cheng ruffled her messy hair and said nothing more.

If you want to reach the top of the martial arts road, talent alone is not enough. Some hardships must be experienced personally.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Cheng Cheng's mind.

[Uncle, it has been detected that the desert environment is suitable for cultivating fantasy beast spirit trees, please plant them as soon as possible...]

Cheng Cheng was slightly stunned after hearing this. He even wondered if he heard it wrong. In his impression, unless he asked, the system rarely spoke actively.

But he didn't expect that taking the initiative to speak today would give him such a big surprise.

He tested it in the deep sea of ​​the Navy Headquarters, on the grassland of Cocosia Village, in the square of Rogge Town, and even on the white soil of the Revolutionary Army Base Baldigo.

In the end, Cheng Cheng thought it was just a scam, but he never imagined that the place where the Phantom Beast Spirit Tree was cultivated was actually in the desert of Alabasta.

When he thought that the Phantom Beast Spirit Tree could cultivate the Phantom Beast Fruit, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but get excited. He began to imagine the future battle scenes. He stepped on the somersault cloud and waved his hand, and hundreds of them fought like Kaido. Li's younger brother rushed over together.

In this way, where can we go in this huge world?

In the future war on top, will the naval government still dare to kill Ace?

Who dares to compete with Luffy for the position of Pirate King?

So what about the Holy Land Marie Gioia, it will be demolished sooner or later!

However, Cheng Cheng quickly suppressed the turbulence in his heart and was instead considering a very practical issue.

If he really cultivated hundreds of phantom beast devil fruit ability users, how could he rely on himself to restrain these people?

By face?

It seems a bit unrealistic...

What about strength?

Not to mention his current strength, can even the Yonko-level warriors like Red Hair and Kaido really be able to control people like them?

cannot!Definitely not!

The potential of the devil fruits of the phantom beasts is too great, and no one can guarantee that they can restrain them.

But he also knows now that it is a bit futile to consider these things at the moment. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of Alabasta first.

Otherwise, Sha Nan's presence would always be a big threat to himself.

Only when the country truly stabilizes can he find a place to cultivate the Phantom Beast Spirit Tree with peace of mind.

Seeing his master smiling like a fool, Tuanzi couldn't help but ask: "Master, why are you laughing? What's so happy about you?"

"Let's go find a teahouse."

Cheng Cheng was in a good mood and said cheerfully to Tuanzi, "You'll know later!"

In Alabasta, which is located in the desert, even the streets in the towns are filled with yellow sand. There is a thick layer of dust on the tables and chairs of the roadside shops.

There were many people coming and going on the street. No matter men, women, old or young, their heads were wrapped in headscarves. Everyone looked very tired, walking around listlessly on the road.

Cheng Cheng took Tuanzi and the two of them and walked around the streets for a long time, but they didn't find a place selling tea.

Later, Cheng Cheng had to find someone to inquire, and found out about the only tea shop.

When they arrived at the tea shop, there were almost no customers on the tables inside the shop. Only the waiter was cleaning the table boredly.

"Boss, serve two pots of tea first! Quench your thirst first!"

Cheng Cheng sat casually on a table by the roadside, with the eaves above his head. Their table was in the shadow, so they didn't feel hot.

The skinny shop assistant had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he looked like a very shrewd person. He did not go to make tea immediately, but walked slowly to Cheng Cheng's side.

After glancing at Tuanzi's clothes, he began to look Cheng Cheng up and down, and then his eyes fell on the Zhenhai sword again. Then his face became slightly better and he spoke.

"This little brother, our store is a small business and does not accept credit."
