[OP] The Story of Ming Shi

Sora, who was in a depressed state, sat on the watchtower to enjoy the wind.He hoped the wind would cool his hot head... but the wind in Alabasta never seemed to cool much.Sora sighed and leaned on the railing, it took him a long time to calm down.

When he first went to sea, because the identity of a boy was safer than that of a girl, he chose the identity of a man without hesitation.Later, he joined the pirate group and had a group of reliable partners around him, but Sora still didn't tell everyone the truth.Because he is a different kind, he hates being treated differently, thinking of Sanji's appearance, Sora shuddered.Just keep it hidden...

At this time, the boat stopped, and Sora saw Kalu leave to deliver the letter, and its figure disappeared into the desert.

After a while, they arrived at their destination, and the ship docked again.

"It's finally here!" Luffy couldn't wait any longer.

"It's finally time to enter the desert." Chopper was also looking forward to it, "It must be very hot."

"It will exceed 50 degrees during the day." Nami, who had already changed into a white robe, popularized common sense for Chopper.

Chopper was extremely surprised: "Hey! 50 degrees!"

"It is said that the eggs are cooked after a few minutes of burying them in the sand," Sola added.

Chopper's face became even uglier.

The three of them came down the stairs together, and Sanji on the deck below suddenly screamed, "Why are you wearing this kind of clothes, Nami-san! Where's the dancing girl's clothes? Ah, Bibi-chan too, why that dress! "

"Because if you expose your skin in the desert, you will be burned by the strong sun." Bibi explained.

"Ah, how could this be..." Sanji fell to the ground in frustration and began to roll, "My dancing girl..."

"This is common sense, Sanji-san." Sora expressed a little contempt, "As expected, your brain has been short-circuited when you see a beauty."

Then Bibi gave Luffy and Ace clothes, and then everyone was about to go ashore.Unexpectedly, some creatures appeared in the sea... Bibi said they were Kung Fu manatees.

"If you want to go ashore, promise me. If you don't dare, go back to the other side, coward." Chopper acted as an interpreter.

"By the way, where is the other side?" Sola stared at the group of manatees. They are indeed animals, so their IQ is low...

When Usopp and Luffy heard this, they rushed out.But looking at the confident Usopp, Sola was a little worried. Is it okay? Usopp, they fought once before, and this guy is very weak.

As expected, Usopp was knocked to the ground, but Luffy won.But Kung Fu manatees seem to have a rule, that is, to take the person who wins them as their teacher, and then a very spectacular and unbelievable scene appears.

But kung fu manatees are not allowed to cross the desert, but their reluctance made Nami and Bibi feel guilty.

Sola was a little troubled: "You obviously did nothing wrong, you are doing it for them, aren't you?"

"But..." The two women still couldn't make up their minds.

At this time, Chopper took out the food from the bag and asked them to wait here, which solved the problem of the Kung Fu manatees, but it made their food storage much less.

After everyone walked for a short distance, an unrecognizable city appeared in front of them.

This is Elmaru, which used to be called the "Green City".Then Bibi talked about some things about this country, what is a dancing fan, the reasons for the chaos in the country, and so on.

Suddenly there will be an inexplicable strong wind, and the sound of the wind is strange, as if someone is crying.

The wind stopped, and there seemed to be a fallen figure in front of it. Everyone hurried over, but who knew it was just a skeleton.

Bibi squatted down, stroking the broken head with her hand.She tried not to let herself cry, she would never spare that man—Crocodile!

Then, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp (actually, Usopp just went to join in the fun) went to a distance to knock down a tower to vent their anger.Estibibi dug a hole, and then everyone helped to bury the skeleton and inserted a dead branch.May this humble grave comfort the one who has passed away, Sora thought silently, looking at the grave.

Then, everyone started on the road, moving slowly towards Juba.

Sola only has two words to describe the daytime in the desert, dry and hot.

"Ah, it's so hot~" Luffy stuck out his tongue and leaned on the wooden stick like a grandfather, and Usopp also did the same.As for Chopper, he fell down as soon as he looked for it. Who told him to grow a thick layer of fur?

Sola was not much better either, he walked silently at the tail of the team, basically not talking, which could reduce the consumption of physical strength, and didn't it mean that the mind would be calm and cool naturally?Peace of mind... It's not cool at all!

Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji, who were walking in front, started fighting because of a little water.Sora sighed, they are really energetic.

In this way the people came to sunset, and they camped beside a rocky place.

The desert is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.Sora hugged her shoulders and shivered by the fire, and Nami was also trembling.

"It's so hot tomorrow, how could it be like this!" Nami bared her teeth.

"The place in the desert without any shade is of course hot during the day, but at night it will drop below zero and be very cold." Bibi explained.

"Another reason is that the specific heat capacity of sand is smaller than that of soil and water. It absorbs the same heat and the temperature of sand rises faster than water, so it is hotter during the day and colder at night..." Sola trembled, "Also It's so dry here...I feel bad on my skin...I miss the sea..."

"No way, just be patient." Bibi said.

Sola reluctantly nodded: "I will work hard..."

After eating, Chopper became a hot item, he was so warm, I really envied his fur... Ah, no, it would be hot to death during the day.Chopper was surrounded by a bunch of people, but it was a bit too crowded... Sora felt a little tight in his chest, but he refused to let go of Chopper.But what Sora was worried about was that Luffy took Chopper's hoof completely in his mouth, what if he accidentally bit it off while sleeping?But he slept soundly that night.

But when Sora woke up the next day, he found that he was buried in the sand pusher, his mouth was full of sand, and the situation was unknown.

Later I heard Bibi say it was a sandstorm, but the wind is actually very powerful, right?

After packing up the luggage, we continued to move forward to Juba.Sora was at the end of the line just like yesterday.Next to him is Ace, and in front is Usopp.

Luffy was very energetic today, but after a while he asked Sanji for lunch.Luffy's stalking made everyone feel helpless, and Bibi had no choice but to rest and eat bento at the next rocky place.

Looking at the endless sand dunes ahead, Sola felt that the future was infinitely bleak... Where is the rocky land?It's so hot, I can hardly walk...

"Okay, let's guess the boxing game! The winner should get all the luggage!" Luffy suggested.

So everyone gathered in a circle and started guessing fists, and then...

Luffy laughed: "Yeah, I won!"

The corner of Sola's mouth twitched, you are so happy, you have to take all the luggage, okay!

"It's so hot and heavy..." Luffy walked on the road dragging a pile of luggage.

"Is she helping everyone reduce the burden?" Sora looked back at Luffy who was walking at the end, expressing sympathy.

"I don't think so." Ace replied from the side.

In other words, it's just plain stupid, right?Sola laughed dryly twice, and continued walking his way with his head bowed.

Finally, the rocky ground could be seen, and at this time Luffy rushed out like he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Sure enough, he's still very energetic." Sora half-opened his eyes, as if he didn't even have the strength to open them...

But within a few minutes, Lu Fei flew back again, and he said anxiously that several birds fell to the ground, as if they were about to die.Then Chopper was called over.

"Wait, Lu Fei-san." Bibi said suddenly, "Could the bird you're talking about be... a big liar!"

Hearing the name of that bird, he felt uneasy, but when everyone rushed to the rocky place, all the luggage placed there disappeared.

"Ah, I was cheated!" Lu Fei was dumbfounded.

"It's fine if you didn't get cheated!" Sanji grabbed Luffy's collar and shook it violently, "There are three days' worth of supplies in there!"

Sola Wangtian: "Throat is so dry..."

A burst of bird calls came from the other end of the rocky ground, and the birds were carrying everyone's luggage, as if they were laughing at everyone.

Luffy immediately chased after him, but could he really catch up?That's a bird, and Luffy can't fly...

"Anyway, let's take a break first." Sora hid in the shadow on one side, ah, it's so cool~

After a while like this, there was a sudden vibration under him, an earthquake?Sora was startled, and saw the dust flying not far away, that direction...it seems to be the direction where Luffy went to chase those birds just now, right?

"What's going on?" Chopper jumped up from the ground.

"Could it be another sandstorm?" Nami guessed.

"No, that's..." Usopp put on his scope, "Luffy!"

As Luffy gets closer, everyone can see him.

Nami was surprised: "But why is he riding a camel?"

"Also...he seems to be being chased by something!" Sanji said.

"I can't see clearly, is there something in the sand!" Zhuo Luo was about to draw his sword.

Then, a huge purple creature came out of the ground!

"It's big—what's that!"

"Desert lizard!" Bibi yelled, and she went on to explain that "the desert lizard is one of the largest reptiles and usually hides in the sand waiting for its prey. It has sharp claws and big fangs, and No one has ever caught it. Anyone who catches it because it is too big will be eaten in one bite!"

Then Zoro, Sanji and Luffy went up together, and the desert lizard was instantly killed.

"It's not necessary." Usopp cried.

"When they make a move, even monsters make people feel sympathetic..." Nami commented.

At this time, another large desert lizard emerged from the ground behind everyone!

"Ahhh—is there any more!"

Bibi added: "I forgot to tell you that desert lizards hunt in groups of two!"

"You said it earlier." The three complained.

"Ace, be careful!" Sora shouted, Ace was the closest to the lizard!

"Ah?" Ace stood up, and said to the lizard with the big mouth very leisurely, "It's so troublesome, do you want to play?"

The lizard made a threatening sound.

"Okay, okay, then don't blame me." Ace smiled, and he jumped up!

Then, he was eaten in one bite...

Afterwards, flames spewed from the lizard's nostrils and mouth!Ace came out intact, and the desert lizard was down and charred and black.

Ace's one was burnt and couldn't be eaten at all, so Sola helped bring back the lizard of the main trio and started to process the ingredients.

"It will definitely be delicious. It is said that the weirder the biological meat, the better it is." Sola's eyes lit up.

While eating barbecue, everyone discussed the camel, and that camel and Chopper knew each other.Sola thought it would be easier to have a camel, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a lustful camel!

Then the camel was violently beaten by a gang.

Later, it was Nami who saved the camel from the hands of violent elements and named it "eyelashes".Nami got on the camel, Sora stood in front of the camel and stared at it: "I really want to ride too..."

"Are you a boy? Go for a walk!" Nami said.

Sola pouted, damn it, I feel so aggrieved at this moment...

Then Bibi and Nami rode a camel one step ahead, leaving the abandoned seven people to walk...

But the camel is worthy of being a creature that survives in the desert, and it walks so fast!Gradually, Sora couldn't see Bibi and Nami anymore... I don't know if it's because the sun looks extraordinarily hot at noon.Sora felt his feet getting heavier and heavier, and slowly he fell behind Ace.

Ah, it's so hot that I don't even want to raise my head... Just follow Ace like this, the steps I take seem to have become mechanical movements, repeated non-stop, my nerves have long been numb.

So when Ace stopped, Sora slammed into it without warning, and then fell to the ground due to the reaction force.

"Ah, sorry, are you alright?" Ace quickly turned around and asked Sora.

"Well, it's okay." Sora straightened the hood that was crooked due to the fall. He blinked, looked at Ace, and then looked around.Sora swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully: "Well, Ace... where did everyone go?"

"Ahaha... It seems that we have been separated from the main force..." Ace laughed dryly.

The two looked at each other, silent, silent, still silent...
