After a hard training, both women were sweating profusely. It was late at night. The two women were exhausted from training during the day and went to bed early. They had no energy or mind to do entertainment with Rice.

Rice sat cross-legged on the wide bed, took out two top-notch Qi and Blood Pills, and took them separately with water.

The improvement this time was particularly obvious, and the effect was excellent, even sweeping away a little of the fatigue of the day.

Rice clenched his fists and felt the abundant power flowing through his body. Next, let's try the moon step.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was as clear as a layer of crystal silk on the deck.

I saw a heroic boy constantly raising his feet under the moonlight, stepping on the air at a very fast speed.

The boy has handsome sword eyebrows, sharp black eyes, angular outlines, and a slender but not rough figure, like an eagle in the dark night. The air was faintly compressed by Rice's step.

In one second, Rice stepped out more than ten times, and his feet were so fast that even the afterimage could not be seen.

Rice's figure gradually hung in the air, and the air under his feet made a slight sonic boom, bursting out a force to support Rice's body.

Rice gradually mastered the skills of the Moon Step and used the Moon Step to rise to a high altitude.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Rice stopped exhausted. This Moon Step was too physically demanding.

Among the six styles of the Navy, the only one that Rice was interested in was the Moon Step, and there were not many training techniques. The main thing was that the physical strength was reached, and it could be learned with a rough training. In the next two days, Rice sailed day and night, and practiced with the two women in his spare time, and mastered the Moon Step.

During this period, he experienced many extreme weather conditions and attacks from more than a dozen different sea beasts.

The more you sail on the Grand Line, the more dangers you encounter.

Two and a half days after setting off from the small garden, Rice finally saw the shadow of Alabasta Island in the afternoon. Rice stood on the deck, wearing casual clothes, staring at the faintly visible yellow sand dunes, and secretly said, we are finally going to Alabasta, I hope Luffy hasn't started yet.

Nami and Nojiko also stood on both sides, holding telescopes and looking curiously.

Nami said,"Why is it all desert and no human habitation?"

Nojigo was also looking, moving the telescope left and right. Suddenly, he paused and took a closer look. There were colorful houses. He pointed in a direction and said,"Nami, there is a town in this direction."

Nami followed the finger and saw the town. She could vaguely see some pedestrians. She turned to Rice and said,"Rice, should we stop there?"

Rice nodded and said,"There."

A huge warship slowly sailed towards the port city of Alabasta - Narohara.

In the port, there were mostly caravans and busy workers. The arrival of the warship symbolizing the navy attracted many people's attention.

The majestic and cold steel behemoth made many dock workers who were watching from a distance drop the goods in shock. For ordinary people who have never been out of the sea in their lives, it is indeed no less than a spiritual baptism.

Rice looked around the nearby ships with an eagle's eyes and shook his head in disappointment. It seems that Luffy is no longer in Narohara, but has gone to Yuba.

In this case, let's go with plan B.

Rice and the other two parked the boat and walked towards the town under the workers' puzzled and curious eyes.

As Rice looked around, there was desert all around. Some cacti could be seen standing firmly near the oasis.

The sand dunes in the desert had clear contours and distinct layers, and the ridges were smooth and flowing. The sand slopes on the windward side were like water, and the sand on the leeward side was like flowing water.

The desert was full of heat waves, as if burning with blazing flames, and the air was distorted by the heat waves.

The endless sand made the world in front of him monotonous.

The sun in the desert was scorching, and it was easy to get sunburned if the skin was exposed.

The three of them were well prepared and walked in the desert wearing thick clothes.

Rice looked at the only oasis in the desert, Narohara.

As one of the few oases in Alabasta today, Narohara stands firm in the desert by trading with the outside world.

The three of them entered the town and were greeted by a lively scene.

There were people selling fruits, bread, meat, and tools.

Les said,"From the documents, I learned that the rebels are in Cattleya. We need to go there to stop the rebellion."

Nami hummed,"It's a great merit to be able to save tens of millions of people!"

Noki laughed loudly,"Nami, just for merit? Don't you want to ask the king of Alabasta for a reward?"

Nami's eyes turned,"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Les smiled,"We are now in Narohara. We need to go through the desert to get to Cattleya, so we have to buy some supplies."

A moment later, Les found a caravan and bought a sand boat at more than twice the price.

The sand boat is a means of passage in the desert. It uses the fluidity of sand and wind power as a means of passage.

Les went to a historic store and bought a map of Alabasta.

On the map, a river flowing into the sea divides Alabasta into two halves. Les is now in Narohara at the bottom on the right, and Cattleya is in the middle of the right, very close to Narohara.

Les took food and water and set off on the sand boat.

The temperature in the desert is very high, as high as 50°, and the strong sunlight can burn the skin.

Les and the other two rode on the sand boat, using Nami's cloud as power, and moved forward in the sand sea like a motorcycle.

The three of them wore very thick clothes. Although their bodies were already very strong, they were still inevitably affected by the environment. Their bodies seemed to be burning and sweating all over.

Cattleya is very close to Narohara, not to mention that Les and the other two used tools such as sand boats. It took only half an hour to reach Cattleya.

A vast expanse of yellow, yellow sand covered the plains for thousands of miles, and sandstorms raged and swept the world.

Three years of drought ravaged the entire Alabasta. Creatures lamented, everything withered, and in limited places, the surviving humans and animals were struggling to survive.

And Cattleya was one of the surviving points.

Although Cattleya is a large oasis, the water consumption increased sharply after the influx of 400,000 rebels, and the daily water consumption is an astronomical figure.

Although everyone has tried to reduce their water expenses as much as possible, the water that must be consumed every day is essential.

There were tents scattered around the houses in Cattleya. The tents were old and weathered by the wind and sand. The people of Alabasta who had experienced drought lived in the tents. The long-term lack of water made their faces dry, their lips chapped, and wrinkles formed. A 20-year-old man looked like a 30-year-old uncle.

Eric opened the dusty tent with a tired face and said to Kosa,"We are running out of water and food. Kosa, what should we do next?"

Eric was the chief of staff of the rebel army and was in charge of the use of water and food.

Kosa sat on a stone bench, crossed his hands, and murmured,"Wait a moment, there are still some weapons that have not been delivered."

Eric nodded and retreated.

Kosa adjusted his dark glasses, sighed, and revealed a confusion he had never shown in front of others. There was not much water and food left, and everyone would soon starve to death and die of thirst. What should I do? Should I attack Albana? But the king might have some unspeakable secrets?

But if we don't act, everyone will die! Thinking of this, Kosa made up his mind to attack the capital and take back the rain.

Suddenly, the tent was opened again, and Kabi walked in and said excitedly,"Kosa, someone outside claims to be able to make it rain!"
