Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

夜晚

At this time, Yi Chen had already brought everyone to the city of Juba.

However, the current situation in Yuba is not an oasis as Weiwei described, and most of the houses are half buried in sand.

"Vivi, didn't you say this was an oasis? But now it looks almost the same as Elmar." Looking at such a desolate town, Sanji couldn't help but ask Vivi in ​​confusion.

"How...how could this happen? The oasis was actually swallowed up by the sand..."

Just as Weiwei was feeling sad for Yuba who was swallowed by the sand, a sudden sound of shoveling earth came from a pit nearby.

Hearing the sound, everyone walked to the edge of the pit and saw a skinny old man digging the soil with his back to them.

The old man in the pit seemed to have heard the footsteps. Before anyone could ask, he took the initiative to speak, but he did not stop the work in his hands.

"Are you travelers? The desert journey must be hot and tiring, but I'm so sorry, this city is already dry."

"But there are many places to rest, and there are hotels everywhere. This is the best place left in this city." As he spoke, the old man looked back at everyone, and then continued to shovel the soil.

"Well, I want to ask, I heard that the rebels are in this city, they..."

"Looking for rebels? You guys are not going to join the rebels, are you?" Before Vivi could ask any questions, the kind old man suddenly became irritable when he heard the word rebels, and glared at Vivi who was asking him questions.

This sudden sound really scared Weiwei and made her speechless.

Seeing this, the old man sighed softly and then said, "Those idiots are no longer in this city."

Seeing everyone's confused faces, the old man went on to explain the reason. It turned out that the city had been dry three years ago, and sandstorms often swept through the place, swallowing it up bit by bit by the sand, leading to its current appearance.

Supplies were not circulated in this city, and since it was impossible to carry out a protracted rebellion in this city, the rebels moved their base to Cattleya.

"Ka...Cattleya?" After hearing this, Vivi seemed very shocked.

"Is Cattleya close to here, Vivi?" Luffy couldn't help but ask when he saw Vivi's confused look on her face.

"Catlea is an oasis near Narohara, which is near the city we just arrived at. It seems that our intelligence is no longer up to date." Ikalem replied.

"Then why are we here... Hey!" Zoro sighed and said, but was soon hit in the chest by Nami's elbow: "You are so long-winded."

"...Gomenase...Wuwu...Mina...It's all my fault for not thinking of this." Vivi sobbed and apologized to everyone.

"It's not too late to know. As long as Yichen takes us back, we will definitely be able to make it. Don't worry, Vivi~Okay?" Just when Vivi felt guilty about this, Nami stepped forward to comfort her. As she spoke, she also helped Vivi wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Indeed, if we rely on Yi Chen's ability, there is definitely enough time. After this matter is over, I must thank all of them.

After thinking about it, Weiwei hummed lightly, cheered herself up and smiled again.

"Weiwei? Did you just call her Weiwei!?"

At this moment, the old man who heard their conversation suddenly came up and said, "Vivi, is it really you? The princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta."

"So you're still alive, that's great." As he spoke, the old man placed his hands on Weiwei's shoulders.

Seeing Weiwei's puzzled expression, the old man sighed again and said sadly: "It's normal that you can't recognize me. After all, I'm much thinner than before."

"Thank you so much, Uncle..." Upon hearing this, Weiwei looked at the sentimental old man in front of her in disbelief, and her past memories suddenly flooded back like a flood. She remembered what the old man looked like many years ago, when he was still plump and healthy, and he was the mayor of this town and the father of the rebel leader.

Immediately afterwards, the two reunited began to talk about Alabasta.

Doto absolutely believed in the king and believed that he would not betray his people. After all, the other party had once given all his money and food to support the city. In order to help Yuba overcome the difficulties, Cobra also led all the soldiers in the capital to lower the food standards for a period of time, and even the king himself did the same.

Weiwei was also very touched that the other party still believed in her father after suffering three years of drought.

Cattleya

Rebel base

In a tent, Kosa was closing his eyes and thinking about the war, but somehow he remembered Vivi's face again. However, he had lost contact with her in the past few years, so he didn't know how she was doing now.

Just as he was thinking this, one of his confidants came in and interrupted his recollection.

"Kosa, we have contacted the rebels in other cities."

Hearing this, Kosa slowly sat up from his chair and clenched his fists: "It's finally time for the decisive battle."

"Yes, but there is one problem that has not been solved. We do not have enough weapons to equip everyone, and the number of our rebels is still increasing."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The longer the war drags on, the more the people will suffer. So now we have no choice but to give it a try... We will protect this country!"

A hotel

staff dorm

"Ah! Brothers, everyone has worked hard today. Let's take a good rest and replenish our energy to prepare for tomorrow. Good night." Usopp shouted loudly while standing on the bed, and the next second he fell on the bed and closed his eyes.

bang~

Just then a pillow suddenly flew over and knocked Usopp to the floor.

"Why replenish our energy? Didn't Yi Chen fly us here this afternoon? There's no point wasting our energy." After failing to hit Usopp with a pillow, Zoro complained to the fallen Usopp.

"Asshole Zoro, I went out to buy groceries this morning, so of course I need to replenish my energy!"

After saying that, Usopp suddenly threw a pillow at Zoro.

bang~

Zoro was careless and did not dodge, and was hit directly in the face.

"Huh!? You actually hit me with a pillow." As he said that, Zoro threw the pillow again.

The next second, there was a "bang" and Chopper, who was lying on the bed next to Usopp, fell to the ground.

"Who? Who hit me?" Chopper, who was knocked to the ground, suddenly jumped up and grew several times bigger, and then joined the pillow fight.

"San...Sanji...that's my bed..." Vivi said softly as she looked at Sanji who was lying on her bed and lifted the quilt to let her get on the bed.

Hearing this, Sanji smiled slightly and said seriously: "I just saw that you were so sad tonight. It would definitely be more sad to sleep alone, so I wanted to sleep with you."

"Then come to my bed. I'm sad too." Ikareem, who had changed into women's clothes at some point, lifted the quilt and threw a wink at Sanji.

“Who cares… Ugh!”

Just as Sanji was about to answer, a pillow suddenly hit him in the face.

"What are you doing there, Sanji-san?" The culprit Usopp pointed at Sanji and said provocatively.

"You're so brave. Not only did you hit me with a pillow, but you also provoked me like this."

After saying that, Sanji joined the pillow fight in anger. In an instant, pillows were flying all over the room. Even Yichen and Abis who had just fallen asleep, and Nami and Vivi who were about to sleep, were not spared. As for Ikarem, he joined the fight as early as when he "seduced" Sanji.

As for Luffy, he was helping Toto dig a hole in order to get to the water source buried underground.
