Chapter 689: Desert Journey!
As the ship continued to move forward, the number of uninvited passengers continued to grow, and by the time they reached their destination, they had already crossed the fifty mark, nearly one-third of the spare planks stored in the bilge had been turned into wooden knives, and most of the space on the deck was occupied by kung fu manatees who were armed with two wooden knives to learn the advanced technique of double knife flow.
Wu Liang and Luffy, who acted as melon-eating people, could only retreat into the front and rear cabins respectively in order to continue to watch the excitement, giving up most of the space, and they shrank in front of the door to watch the excitement, while Usopp, who was beaten and abandoned on the back deck for several hours, locked himself in the upper bedroom, and didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of the kung fu manatees and being flattened again.
When the Golden Merry arrived at its destination, that is, after anchoring and stopping at the ferry near the Green City of Elmaru, the congestion on the ship eased slightly, and Sauron, who felt that he couldn't do it, jumped off the ship with a large number of newly recruited disciples without waiting for the ship to stop, and gave up the already not very spacious space for Wu Liang, Luffy and a few others to do their work, and he found a flat place on the shore and began to continue teaching, until the whole set of swordsmanship routines and daily exercise tips were taught clearly, and then he said goodbye to the kung fu manateesAnd handed over the responsibility of watching the ship to this group of newly inaugurated double-sword swordsmen who were born out of thin air.
Less than two kilometers along the riverbank, the yellow sand has stretched into a patch and swallowed up the imprints left by most human life, looking at the yellow, orange and orange sand, there is only a little broken building debris and dry trees telling Wu Liang, Luffy and his party about the misfortunes suffered by the city, and the human and animal bones half-buried in the sand are also reminding the danger of the desert all the time, so that the group invariably tightened the water bladder (more buckets!) on their backs! )。
The crowd dressed in turban robes walked forward, and Princess Ruthway and Ikalem told everyone in a heavy tone about the reason for the decline of the Green City of Elmaru, and when the two of them mentioned such a thing as 'dancing powder', they gritted their teeth with hatred, and directly pointed out that the main culprit that caused the green city of Elmaru and even most of the entire country to fall into drought was one of the Seven Martial Seas recognized by the world government---- 'Sha Klokdal'!
It can be said that the kingdom of Alabastan is unlucky, but it will be because of the large number of deserts in the territory (the apparent intention is to steal the country, but in fact, it is to find the ancient weapon, the most evil warship---- 'Hades'!) And those who ate the rustling fruits of nature were chosen ---- Klockdahl to be their home turf, and then miserably flew into the disaster, and most of the country was tormented by a great drought, and at the same time, it was artificially provoked, creating a huge civil war that almost divided the entire country.
In addition to the loss of a lot of wealth, it also caused many civilian casualties, more families fled to neighboring countries for refuge and were forced to become refugees, the number of people in the country is almost 1 in 10, the original prosperous desert kingdom Alabastan has now fallen into a tragic situation on the verge of collapse, only one kick to let the rebels invade the national capital Albana, when the time comes, Crocokdal only needs to wave his arms to turn the tide and overthrow the royal family of the Kingdom of Alabastan, which has a thousand-year heritage, At that time, not only can you keep the biggest secret of the royal family for thousands of years, but you can also logically steal a country to whitewash your identity, which is really a deep plan!
Once it is granted, it will not only be the people under the rule of the Kingdom of Alabastan who will suffer, but Klokdahl, who has mastered the secrets of Hades, will definitely not be willing to lie dormant, as long as it takes him a while to master the construction technology, (even if it is a weakened version of the application technology!) Once a sufficient number of fleets are cobbled, the war will surely spread to the surrounding neighbors and even directly to the navy, and then the headache will be the world government.
Such a terrible result is definitely not what the world government and navy hope to see with pirates to contain pirates!
The harm caused by allowing Klockdahl to continue is obvious, and in order to prevent this huge disaster that will affect many innocents, Wu Liang Luffy and his party decide to convince the rebels first, and then go to trouble Klockdahl and his Baroque workshop.
Convinced, the group stepped into the desert of yellow sand, and rushed to the 'rain land', the dream city of Alabastan and the base camp of Klockdahl, in ---- hope to eliminate the absurd civil war that caused many casualties but had no value at all, so as to achieve the goal of reducing unnecessary casualties.
With Wu Liang and his party joining, there will naturally be no more embarrassing situation of being deceived by fraudulent birds to take away their luggage, insufficient supplies and no water to drink, and the group lasted a few days to successfully arrive at the Klockdahl base camp 'Rainland', although there were many small episodes during the period, but it did not have much impact, together with some reluctant to walk in the desert captives Coco, a group of people and others were all safe except for a little tired.
For first-time adventurers hiking deep into the desert, this is a rare achievement, and all they want at this moment is a large soft bed and a comfortable bathtub, and there is no better way to relieve fatigue than to soak in a good bath and sleep in a large bed until it wakes up naturally.
Now that everyone's needs have been agreed, the first stop after entering the dream city of 'Rainland' is placed in a hotel closest to the city gate, and a group of people directly package this small hotel that can provide hot water 24 hours a day, the room rate includes three meals a day, and the mattress is also very comfortable.
Wu Liang, who has been restrained for a long time, naturally can't miss this kind of good opportunity, even on the eve of the big war, he can't stop his impulse to ask Sakura, Poison Island and Menqi to have fun, almost after locking the door, he started a 1V3 battle, but he was afraid that outside the wall was the room where the same class lived, so in addition to the two silencing measures of closing the doors and windows and playing desert-style music with the store's own gramophone to cover up some indescribable sounds, The four of them also tried to avoid making too exaggerated sounds.
I hope the others will be able to sleep better tonight......!
