Traveler in the Pirate World

Alabasta Tamarisk

This is a city with a long history. Locals prefer to call it the Port of the East. It is one of the important port cities in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people, merchant ships from all over the world gathered at the port, and merchants sat in taverns chatting, talking about interesting things from all over the world and the major events that had happened in these days.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the celestial phenomena in the Kingdom of Alabasta would change after that day. It seems that the water I delivered this time can only be sold at a loss!"

"Hey! Stop talking about these annoying things. Let's talk about something interesting. It's just a loss. I don't care about this loss that much."

"What topic? There have been so many big things happening recently. Everyone is talking about it. My ears are almost callused."

"It's not those things. What I want to say has not been reported. You just need to listen to it, but don't spread it."

"Don't worry, you're still not confident about my words? Come and listen to me!"

"I also heard about this from a friend. Do you know the Rozward family in the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"That's a Tianlong. You really are not afraid of death. You dare to discuss such things in private."

"Yes, it's the Celestial Dragons. What you don't know is that the Rozward family was assassinated yesterday!"

"What a joke, you're not afraid of death, but I want to live, how can you say such things casually?"

"What are you afraid of? Let's just talk about it in private. If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, then who would know? Besides, there are actually quite a few people who know about this. After all, the Sabaody Archipelago was in chaos after that!

But it's strange to say that, under the investigation of CIPHERPOL's group of guys, they actually found some things, and even fought in District 21."

"What's so strange about this?"

"You know that the fights between these monsters in the past inevitably affected others. My friend's men were there at the time, watching the guys fighting each other. Some people went through the wall, but the wall was intact. After the fight, several people who went through the wall lay on the ground inexplicably, covered in blood!"

"It's hard to imagine. It feels weird. Maybe it's some strange ability!"

"I do know a little about this. I heard that since that day, the fights between those guys would be dragged into another world. I don't quite understand what it means, after all, it's related to that world!"

"Compared to this kind of incomprehensible thing, I am more curious about who dares to attack the Tianlong people!"

"Do you remember the big event that happened in the Holy Land of Marijoa two days ago?"

"You mean there was another slave escape after so many years? How dare those slaves stay in Shampoo Land at this time and even attack the Celestial Dragons?"

……

Tina leaned against the window and heard the conversation between the few people clearly. She knew what happened two days ago. At that time, Commander-in-Chief Sora, Admiral Aokiji and several CP sequence members were responsible for suppressing the riot.

Even so, a large number of slaves still fled from the holy land of Mary Joa. It was not because the other party was so strong, but because the Eye of God they possessed gave them many strange and bizarre abilities that made it difficult to defend against.

What was beyond everyone's expectations was that, unlike the slaves who had managed to escape from the Celestial Dragons in the past, some of these guys actually chose to retaliate directly, which was something that would have been unimaginable in the past.

After all, they were the world’s nobles. Even among all the people Tina had ever met, only Vice Admiral Garp dared to call them trash to their faces.

No one dared to attack the Celestial Dragons, which almost became the truth of this era, but now the truth has been broken.

Lily doesn't care about these things at all. Oppression will inevitably lead to resistance, which is the most normal thing.

"The steak here is really good!" The steak that has just been served is very generous in portion, with tender and juicy meat. Every bite is a pleasure.

Tina looked at Lily without the mask, cutting the beef on the plate bit by bit, eating it in small bites, carefully savoring the flavor of each bite, as if nothing in the world was more interesting to her than the food in the bowl.

Labu doesn't eat much outside food. The portions here are a bit too small for him, not even enough to fill his teeth.

It lay on top of Lily's head, eating its snacks in big mouthfuls, looking very satisfied.

Despite this strange combination, Tina became the center of attention in the tavern. Merchants and pirates alike looked at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, because of the two unlucky guys on the ground, no one dared to come forward and talk to them.

People can see Lily's beauty and the strange Lab, but they find it inexplicably difficult to pay attention to them, as if they were very ordinary things.

After lunch, the two men and the fish strolled on the street. Occasionally, they could see employees of the Avisus Group in work clothes, busy laying pipes.

Providing clean water to every household at a very low price was one of their previous plans, but due to the changes in the celestial phenomena in Alabasta, this plan was implemented ahead of schedule.

As soon as she walked into the central street, Lily saw many stone carving masters hammering around numerous square stones. The semi-finished products piled up vaguely showed a very beautiful woman.

It was a girl standing upright, with five pairs of strange wings behind her that seemed to be about to spread out, showing the transition between movement and stillness vividly.

The stonemason did not carve the girl's face in detail, or he did not know her true appearance. Her body was also hidden under a loose robe. With such a hazy sculpting, the statue as a whole gives people a sense of sacredness and holiness.

Tina looked at the busy people curiously. The stone sculpture itself was almost finished, but the base was still being carved. Many patterns of flowing water and waves could be vaguely seen. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are they building this statue for? Tina is very curious!"

"Do you remember Morgans's previous report on the Seven Gods?" Lily hugged the flying Lab into her arms, rubbed its big head, and said with a smile, "This is the God of Water!"

Seven beings beyond common sense came. Apart from the guesses of the gods, people could not think of how to name them. However, because they did not know the true names of the gods, they used the seven elements as prefixes to distinguish the seven gods.

The people of Alabasta firmly believe that it was the water god who changed the celestial phenomena, allowing this dry kingdom to be nourished by rain again, so the kingdom is now full of believers of the water god.

Of course, it’s not just the water god. The other six gods also have their own believers throughout the world.

Some people believe in the grass god and think that he is a symbol of life, even if they do not know the laws of Qinasi.

Some people also believe in the god of thunder. The great thunder has been full of power and mystery since ancient times, making people yearn for it while also feeling awe.

Even many pirates believe in the gods of wind and water, and pray for good weather and good harvests during their voyage.

Of course, there are also many guys who believe in the Rock God. After all, the power of the new moon in the sky makes countless people who worship power fall in love with it.

They don't know whether the gods will respond to their prayers, but they can't help but pray. Most of them just want peace of mind rather than efficacy.

Most of these believers call themselves the Society of the Seven. This is not a religion in the traditional sense. Its essence is simply to worship the greatness of mystery and the unknown.

However, apart from the Seven Gods, there are also people who believe in the sealed beast. People call it by various names, such as the devil, the evil god, the evil god, the god of destruction, etc.

"They are running for election. To these believers, erecting a statue for the god is a big deal. This team is progressing very fast." Lily pointed to the other end of the street, where a large group of stonemasons were also banging away at the stone. Although they were only carving rough movements, one could vaguely imagine the benevolent god lowering his hands to sprinkle rain on the world. They were obviously masters of stone carving.

"Their skills are really amazing!" Tina couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them just watched quietly, stopping there to watch the stonemasons carefully carving the gods in their hearts.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind brought coolness, and with the rumble of thunder, heavy rain slowly fell from the sky. The streets and alleys suddenly became more lively, with people walking in the rain and girls dancing barefoot in the water to the rhythm of the wind and rain.

The young man beat the waist drum, his wet clothes clinging to his body, and he leaped up and down with big strides, dancing with the puddles on the ground; the passionate and powerful drum beats resonated with the thunder.

The children were running in the rain, shouting “It’s raining, it’s raining…hahaha…”

The adults pushed out the water jars that were always ready, looked up at the sky, and let the rain hit their faces.

People who have never experienced a severe drought may never understand what rain means to this long-dried desert kingdom.

Look up at the sky, the clouds are gathering, the thunder is shining, the wind blows away the heat, and the rain penetrates people's hearts. The arrival of every heavy rain is a carnival for the people of Alabasta, until these generations of people who have experienced drought grow old.

The raindrops dripped on Cobra's face, and there was a smile on his lips. Future generations may no longer remember that this land was once a desert, and may forget the preciousness of water. The oasis may no longer be a miracle, but isn't this what we expect? How rich would the land be if the water was wasted?

Looking at the latest cooperation documents with the Avisus Group in his hand, Cobra couldn't help but feel infinite expectations in his heart. There will be no more oasis in Alabasta in the future, because it is the largest oasis.
