【One Piece】Painter

We walked through ruined towns full of yellow sand, and the trees were dead, but according to Weiwei, it was a lush and vibrant town not long ago.

"When you see this town, you will know what the Baroque Works has done to this country." Weiwei walked at the front of the team. "Although it didn't rain often in the past, the citizens would store the scarce water and barely save this city. City."

"But in the past three years, except for the capital Yarobana, and the place where the king lives, there has been no rain." Weiwei still looked sad, "Everyone said it was the king's miracle, but one day, Dancing powder was used to force rainfall in the capital, it was discovered."

"Dancing fan?"

"I've heard of it," Nami said. "It's also known as rain-calling powder. Burning this powder can emit mist-like smoke, artificially interfering with the natural rain in nearby places, causing the rain to fall to the burning dancing powder. The place."

"But this is a world government banning the production and possession of dancing fans."

Weiwei clenched her fists, "When the dancing powder was transported to Hong Kong in large quantities, the abnormal climate that did not rain anywhere in Alabasta except the town where the king lived was also explained."

Luffy jumped out and pointed at Weiwei: "What, Weiwei! Isn't this your father's fault?" Sanji kicked him in the head: "Idiot, that was framed! Weiwei-chan's father How could you do such a thing!"

"Of course, my father knew nothing about this matter." Weiwei closed her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, "But at the same time, a large number of dancing fans were discovered who had been transported to the palace."

"Isn't it hard to explain..." I frowned, and Weiwei sighed. We continued walking and came to a place that seemed to be a river bed after a drought.

"Weiwei, where is this?"

"This was originally the location of the canal that led into the city from the Santa Dora River, but this canal was also damaged and the canal was gone. This green city can no longer guarantee water supply."

"Ever since the dancing fans incident, the people no longer trust the king." Weiwei said, "Everything played into Crocodile's hands."

"Then the war broke out and exhausted people fled the war, looking for water, to other oases."

"The town was abandoned."

As if the release was to fulfill Weiwei's words, the wind blew into the ruins and made a whining sound, like human crying.

……

"Ah-it's so hot!!"

We climbed over the sand dunes, and Luffy walked with his crutches and howled: "It's so hot! I can't even sweat anymore!!"

Nami fanned herself and said, "Don't keep screaming, Luffy, it will make it even hotter."

Chopper had completely laid down and let Zoro drag him away. After all, the warm fur was not a decoration.

"It's so hot, so painful -"

Luffy was still howling, and from dawn to dusk, we found a place to camp in the lee of the wind.

I took out the water elf from the drawing paper and asked it to fill our container with water. "It's so convenient, Lila's ability." Usopp said after taking several large gulps to fall asleep.

"That's right, with the water elf we can drink water whenever we want." Weiwei also said, and the little water elf danced happily as if she knew she had been praised.

Nami crossed her arms and shivered, "Speaking of which, why is it so cold here at night? It will be so hot tomorrow."

"In this desert without sunshade, it will be scorching during the day, but at night it will drop below zero and it will be extremely cold." Weiwei explained. I almost covered Ace with my whole body. I had no choice but to eat the burning fruit. He was very cold. warm.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by Weiwei's voice, "Everyone, go and evacuate behind the rock!" I was taken behind the rock by Ace before I could react.

"Desert Storm is coming!"

As soon as I finished saying this, a strong wind blew up, and I was held in Ace's arms as the sand and rocks flew around until the storm ended.

I stood up and dusted myself off. Luffy and the others also emerged from under the sand. Everything became calm again and we continued on our way.

"Hey, Sanji, let's eat the bento! Pirate bento!!" Luffy was hungry again, Sanji said ruthlessly: "Not yet, we need Vivi-chan's approval."

Luffy smiled and leaned next to Weiwei, "Hey Weiwei, let's eat the lunch~ I don't have any energy." Weiwei frowned slightly, "But we have only walked less than one-tenth of the distance from Yuba. Luffy-san.”

"You are so stupid, there is such a proverb." Luffy looked serious, "You have to eat when you are hungry."

"You made this up yourself, right?" Usopp complained while holding his cane. Vivi smiled and said, "I know, how about we take a rest when we find the next rock?"

"Yo Xi! Find rocks!"

Luffy rushed to the front of the team enthusiastically, "Everyone, hurry up and get to the rock. The person who wins the guessing game will get everyone's luggage!"

"Don't make decisions on your own!" Usopp complained again, and Sanji found something wrong, "Usually the loser doesn't take it."

"Yo Xi, it's started!"

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"Wait a minute!"

"This guy is slow!"

"Haha! I won!" Luffy said happily, and then threw all our luggage to him, "Ah, didn't I win the guessing game? Why is this happening?"

"If you're to blame, it's your fault for winning the guessing game. Shut up and move your luggage." Sanji said ruthlessly, and Nami also said: "Don't lose it~"

Usopp adjusted his goggles, "Rock found ahead!"

"Really! It's break time, let's eat!!!"

Luffy jumped out from the end of the team in an instant and ran away, leaving only dust flying, but he ran back after a while, "It's not good!!"

“There are so many injured birds that cannot be moved!!”

Luffy yelled, and my first reaction was whether it was good to eat or whether I should add chili powder.

"Wait, are those birds!"

"Luffy, where's the luggage?" Weiwei suddenly thought of something and told us to run in the direction where Luffy came from.

"Ah! All the luggage is gone!"

"I remember putting it here!" Luffy looked at the empty luggage rack and opened his mouth. All the luggage that should have been full on it was gone.

"It's true! There were a lot of dying birds there just now!" Luffy pointed to an open space and said, Weiwei's eyebrows furrowed. Lee’s Desert Rogues.”

"Nani! Have I been cheated!"

I touched my satchel, luckily it was the only one I had and I wasn't worried about letting anyone else take it, especially Luffy.

"Luffy, this is not something that can be solved just by being lied to. All our luggage has been taken away. How are we going to cross this desert?" Sanji said, grabbing Luffy's collar.

"But there's nothing I can do, because I was deceived." Luffy was still a little innocent, and Sanji gritted his teeth: "Is your brain worse than a bird's?"

"What did you say?!"

The two started working, and I took out my pencil drawing book and started drawing. While they were fighting, I could draw a large backpack with a wide opening filled with bread and wooden barrels.

Then I drew three more straight lines to mark the length, width and height of the backpack. I took out the backpack and crushed the drawing paper into powder. I looked at Sanji and Luffy who were still beating, "Don't beat them. Although these things are black and white, they are black and white." They all taste the same.”

"Lirasang, it turns out that your ability can be used like this!" Weiwei said in surprise, "Although it's all bread and water, if you save a little, it should be enough for us to cross the desert."

I chuckled and said, "If it's not enough, I'll draw more."

"Ah! Bird!! Give our luggage back!!!!"

Luffy jumped out and looked at the big cheating birds who had taken our luggage and came to mock us. The big cheating birds flew away after reaching their goal. Luffy chased them and ran away again regardless of the obstruction.

We waited there for a long time for Luffy, and he didn't show up until Zoro and Sanji were about to go out to find him.

"Is that... a lizard?" I tried to identify the big purple monster behind Luffy, who was now riding a camel and running towards us.

"Desert giant lizard!!!"
