After leaving seclusion, he became Naruto's grandfather.

"Coming ashore. "

Look around.

The whole sailboat, getting closer and closer to the island ahead.

Get up close!

Lu En could feel the drought of the island even more.

Or perhaps it was due to the fact that under the rule of Klockdahl, the whole of Alabastan did not see a single rain all year round, which led to a sudden change of extraordinary drought.

Not a drop of water is hard to find!

Let Alabastan, which is already a desert, become even more scarce of water resources!

Gradually.

The sailing ship approached the coast of Alabastan.

There weren't many ships docked off the coast of Alabastan, and Lu En glanced at it, and he was the only sailboat ready to dock at the coast.

Besides.

It was difficult to find a second ship.

It's not that Alabastan is too backward economically, it's just that there are too many coasts in Alabastan and there are no fixed docked coasts.

Thereby.

In all directions, the ships rushing to Alabastan were docked in different directions. Naturally, with such a large area of Alabastan, the probability of two ships meeting on the same coast is still relatively small.

The sailboat is close to the coast.

Anchor!

After doing all this, Lu En jumped off the deck.

Arrive at the edge of the coast.

The soil under your feet is extremely stiff.

Lu En's eyes slid across Alabastan in front of him and looked carefully: "This is the destination, the Kingdom of Alabastan?"

The entire soil of Alabastan was exposed to the harsh sun, and it appeared dry and solid, and it was rarely washed by rain.

Look ahead.

The many cracks in the ground are completely present in Lu En's sight.

Lack of water because of drought.

The whole land, as if it had been abandoned, was filled with cracks like spider webs, spreading in all directions, and some of them were bottomless and very dark.

This is the current state of Alabastan today!

It's not hard to tell.

in this environment.

There are really very few merchant ships that come to this kind of local trade.

Without commerce, the economy will fall behind.

This is the predicament that Klockdal has put in Alabastan after he ruled it.

Poor!

Too poor!

There's no denying it.

Klockdahl was very wealthy personally, but it was the squeezing of the whole of Alabastan that made his personal wealth very rich.

That's all!

Originally, the kingdom of Alabastan, even if it was not rich, was not so poor.

All of this has changed dramatically with the arrival of Klockdahl!

"First of all, we have to find the palace!"

Lu En thought to himself.

The first target is the royal palace!

He still remembers, what Crocodall said. Rodney's treasure, the approximate location, was around the royal palace, but unfortunately Klockdahl was never found.

As for how Klockdahl found out about the news?

Lu En thinks.

Perhaps in Klockdahl's hands, there is also a map!

So.

Things are easy to understand.

Maps, apparently more than one!

Or rather......

It started out as one, but as time went on, the maps were expanded to spread to the sea.

Undoubtedly.

The map of Rodney's treasure that Lu En had obtained, he didn't think was unique. Perhaps, there are people who think the same way and will do the same thing as him.

"It's really poverty!"

The corners of Lu En's mouth moved slightly.

Take a step, step by step, step ahead of Alabastan.

Officially landed in the Kingdom of Alabastan!

As soon as he set foot in Alabastan, Lu En could feel nothing but the heat!

Even if Alabastan is free from Klockdahl's rule, the weather here is still so hot, and when you look up at the sky, a dazzling halo of light covers the entire field of vision.

Coupled with the arid soil on the ground, this hot sun is preserved.

You can feel the hot breath of the soil under your feet.

air.

The smell is all over the place, steaming.

"I'll have to find someone to ask where the palace is. "

"Alabastan ......"

"Remember, this is where the Straw Hat Pirates first set foot. At that time, it seemed that the bounty had not even reached 100 million berry. "

"And me, the bounty is 500 million berry!"

"Am I counting, the big boss came to the novice village?"

Lu En couldn't help but smile with interest.

What is the experience of the big boss returning to the newbie village?

Anyway.

Lu En expressed some expectations.

Soon.

His figure disappeared into the coastal area.

Half an hour later.

Lu En came to a town called 'Eruma'.

It's a very dry town.

Walk around the streets of town.

What Lu En felt was not prosperity and noise.

But......

Lifeless!

A group of natives, dark-skinned and dry, with dry lips, looked at Lu En with their eyes, but there were no big mood swings.

There are still a lot of stalls on the streets, but unfortunately they are scarce and unattended.

The whole town looks like an empty city.

Except for the sparsely populated.

The local residents who can be seen are also dead, and they don't have any illusions about life.

"It seems that this guy Klocodahl is not shallow in crime!"

Lu En couldn't help but sigh.

Alabastan after being ruled by Klockdahl, you can see it!

Swiftly cross the streets.

Lu En learned a fact!

That's ......

Here, Berry doesn't work.

The most effective thing is water, and water resources are hard currency!

But after thinking about it, knowing the drought level of the entire town, Lu En can also understand.

Without water, people can't live.

As for the so-called Berry?

It's simply pointless stuff!

Finally!

Lu En found a relatively normal hotel.

Although the hotel is dilapidated, in comparison, this place is the most luxurious in the whole street.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Step right inside the hotel.

The owner of the hotel, a bald middle-aged man with a big belly, was at the front desk, steaming, constantly fanning the wind with a fan, and sweat stains on his forehead were slowly flowing.

"This guest ......"

The bald boss looked at Lu En.

"I'm asking you about something. "

Lu En directly took out Berry and handed it to the other party, and then asked, "The palace, which direction is Alabastan in?"

Berry is indeed not hard currency!

However, Lu En did not intend to ask the other party to sell anything about himself.

It's just intelligence.

"The royal palace, in the southern direction of Alabastan, the city of Albana, where the capital of our kingdom of Alabastan is located!"

The bald boss told the truth.

"Thank you!"

Lu En didn't plan to stay here too long.

Just on the occasion of leaving.

The bald boss hurriedly shouted: "Guest, do you need a means of transportation? We have well-trained Karoo ducks here, they can run at high speed on the arid soil, this is definitely the most indispensable means of transportation through Alabastan!"

"No need!"

No lingering.

Lu En was very simple and left the hotel directly.

I inquired about the direction.

He already has a goal!

Get out of the hostel.

Coming on, some of the more unkind eyes were staring at Lu En's body.

It doesn't look like a local resident.

Instead.

It's like a group of pirates who have logged into Alabastan!

Looking at their clothes and figures, it is not difficult to judge this!

Seeing and hearing directly spread, enveloping their bodies!

Moment.

Lu En can feel it.

The power class of these pirates.

It's probably in the range of 10 million to 20 million berry.

"Even if Alabastan is so poor, will it still attract pirates?"

Lu En thought to himself.

The steps of preparing to leave came to an abrupt end.

Raising his head, Lu En quietly looked at the few pirates in front of him, and suddenly smiled.

His smile was meaningful.

"Boy, did you just come to Alabastan?"

"Let's teach you a good lesson today!"

In front of Lu En, there were about twenty pirates, staring at Lu En with greedy eyes, and there was no hiding the strong killing intent in their eyes.

Seeing what Lu En was wearing, of course they could see it.

Lu En must be very rich!

Take the expressions of these twenty or so pirates into the depths of your eyes.

Lu En couldn't help but shake his head.

Seemingly......

Inevitably, I will abuse vegetables again!

Obviously, I really don't want to abuse vegetables!

It's a pity.

Someone still took the initiative to send it to the door!
