Pirates: Invincible At The Beginning

Juba.

A trading center west of Alabasta, a large oasis town.

But at this time, this former western trade center, important trading town, and good vacation spot, Juba, is facing the fate of drying up.

Originally, with the water source of Yuba Oasis and the unique underground hot spring water, even if it does not rain, it can last for a long time.

but……

This place seems to have been abandoned by the desert god. Since a year ago, not only has it not rained here, but sandstorms have been blowing from time to time.

For more than a year, sandstorms have completely swallowed this once beautiful oasis and completely dried it up.

At this time, the civilians in this town basically left for other cities, and those who stayed basically joined the rebel army.

So here, again, is Alabasta, the stronghold of the rebel army.

There is no water.

I believe it won't be long before even the rebel army will abandon this completely dry city!

Juba.

out of town.

In the place where the oasis used to be, an old man and a young man, with their backs facing each other, raised their hoes and kept digging in the sand.

The old man was wrapped in a coat, his hair and beard were white. Judging from the wrinkles on the old man's face, the old man should have been a rich man, but at this moment, he was gradually drying up like this town.

The young man was bare-chested, with a windshield hanging around his neck, dark tea-green short hair, and a small vertical scar on his left eye.

The young man is the leader of the Alabasta rebel army "Kosha" at this time.

The old man is the boy's father "Duoto".

They are all members of Building Juba.

Why can Juba become an important trading town in the west and a tourist destination.

Not because there is a huge oasis here.

It was nine years ago that Doto brought Kosha and countless people here to jointly develop the place, which made the place gradually prosperous.

Clang——!

Doto stopped, turned his head to stare at Kosha's back, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Don't doubt, Kosha."

Kosha continued digging, ignoring Doto.

In the past few months, he has asked himself countless times in his heart whether it is right to do so, but every time he hears about the death of a town, his will is raised and his heart becomes firmer.

Seeing that Kosha ignored him, Doto turned around, faced Kosha, and said, "You should also be very clear that His Majesty the King is a man of character."

Clang——!

Kou Sha stopped digging, lowered his head, and said calmly, "The people who say that are all elderly people."

As he spoke, he raised his hoe and continued to dig the sand, "The reason why I came to Juba with you, Dad, is not for the king."

"I know."

Doto put the hoe flat, sat on it, looked at Kosha with a smile and said, "It's okay, haha!! As long as it rains, the strange rumors will definitely stop."

Clang——!

Kosha paused, put down the hoe, and put his right hand on the handle of the hoe, "I really want to trust the king, but..."

Kosha turned his head and looked at Doto, "It's only been a few months, and the rebel army now has nearly 100,000 people."

He paused as he spoke, images of countless people fighting for water sources appeared in his mind, and then he said: "And now people are dead, unless it rains immediately in this damn weather, otherwise..."

He didn't go on, but Doto knew what he meant.

Doto stood up, looked at Koza, the son he was once proud of, but now he was an idiot, and said again: "Don't doubt, Koza."

Kosha looked at Doto for a while, but did not answer Doto's words.

He turned around, bent down and grabbed the handle of the hoe with both hands, and continued to dig up the sand.

Looking at the sand-covered oasis, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he rushed to the capital and met the king a few months ago when he knew about the incident of rape flower dancing powder.

He really didn't want to doubt the king, but this country, countless people in this country are suffering from drought and hunger at this time.

He knew that there were a lot of dancing fans in the palace. Even if he believed in the king, most young people in this country no longer believed in their king.

He wanted to ask the king for dancing powder to use in other dry towns, but was refused.

His idea was actually very simple at the beginning, just use a little, it shouldn't matter much! As long as it does rain, perhaps the rebellion in other towns can be stopped.

But the king disagreed, and there was nothing he could do.

He didn't understand, why the king had the means to make it rain, why not use it, he knew that using dancing powder would bring disaster, wouldn't there be no disaster if he didn't use it?

Just look at this country!

Check out the towns and cities of the country!

Take a look at what was once an oasis in this country, now an empty city!

Look at the countless people who rose up and resisted in order to compete for water!

Could it be that the disaster that has not yet happened in the future is really more terrifying than the disaster that is happening now?

he does not know.

All he knew was that he couldn't stand it anymore.

He couldn't bear to look at the blood of the city that was gradually drying up, and the countless people living in the city that were drying up.

So, he has to resist, he has to fight, he has to take the rain himself.

At this moment, a young man wearing goggles rushed over from the streets of the town.

When he got close, he slammed on the brakes and stopped on the spot.

"Kou... Kou, Kou Sha."

clang--!

Kosha stopped, straightened up, turned his head, looked at the panting girl with her hands on her knees, and said, "What's wrong? Guyby."

"Suck~"

Guybi took a deep breath, then straightened his body, looked at Kosha, and said seriously: "Kousa...Ailuma, Ailuma just sent the news that Ailuma is dry."

"Ok!"

Kosha put down his hoe, straightened up, and stared at Guybi with disbelief on his face, "How could Aloma dry up? It's the biggest oasis in Alabasta, which is called the city of oasis!"

Doto also turned his head to look at Guyby and asked, "How can it be dry there?"

He stared at Guybi, and asked excitedly: "Where is the man-made canal of the San Dora River? If the San Dora River does not dry up, how can it dry up?"

Guy took a look at Doto, then turned to look at Koza.

"The St. Dora River was destroyed by people."

boom--!

Like a bolt from the blue, Kosha and Doto froze in place at the same time.

"It was destroyed by someone?"

They could already imagine how panicked the people who loved Luma were at this time.

It has not rained for more than a year, and the already dry oasis, if there is no water diversion from the canal.

That……

Kosha put down his hoe, turned around, and walked towards Guyby.

Can no longer hesitate.

He didn't know who destroyed Ailuma.

He only knows that if it doesn't rain, this country will get worse and worse.

It is necessary to resist.

Even if dancing fans really bring disaster, he doesn't care anymore, after all, it's a matter of the future, he only wants the present, and he just wants to make it really rain on this gradually drying up Alabasta.

"Kosha, where are you going?"

Doto looked at Kosha's back and hurriedly shouted: "Kosha, don't do stupid things, don't doubt, I believe that it will really rain in Alabasta soon, as long as it rains, as long as it rains..."

Seeing his idiot son Kosha ignoring him, Doto stopped where he was.

Tears fell like rain.

He had a feeling that Kosha might not come back after he left.

He has always believed that Alabasta will definitely rain, and he has always believed in their king.

Because their king is so kind and loves the people so much.

He believed in him and would never do anything that would harm the country or the people.
