Chapter 79 : Login! Desert Country

Desert country, Nalohara!

　　This is a prosperous ancient city with a typical Western style and a long history. People come and go on the wide streets, with shops and stalls dotted on both sides, making it very lively.

　　The warship sailed very fast, and at noon the next day, Luffy and his party landed in the seaport city of Alabasta - Narohara!

　　However, what puzzles everyone is that this city is not as chaotic and barren as imagined, but is very stable and peaceful, and the residents live an ordinary but abundant life.

　　"Is that the city of Alabasta? It looks so peaceful!"

　　Everyone stood on the deck of the warship and looked at this ancient city, and they couldn't help but sigh like this.

　　According to Weiwei, under the conspiracy of Baroque Works, the Kingdom of Alabasta is currently in civil strife, and wars are breaking out everywhere. Unexpectedly, this city will be peaceful.

　　"Hey, the city is very peaceful. At least it seems like nothing is going on. It should...it should be too late."

　　Weiwei looked at this prosperous scene. Not only did she not feel any joy, but her expression became more solemn. She smiled palely and said: "Although it's not peace of mind, it should be enough!"

　　"Forehead..."

　　Everyone was slightly startled.

　　"Hey, Weiwei, how do you plan to stop the rebellion? What should we do next?!" Sauron stared at Weiwei seriously.

　　"Well..."

　　Weiwei held her chin and thought seriously for a while, then said: "There is an oasis called "Yuba" in the northwest of this city. It is the stronghold of the rebel army. The leader of the rebel army is also there. I want to get there first. Go there and stop the riot!"

　　"Okay! Let's go! Let's kill Crocodile together!"

　　Luffy raised his fists excitedly and shouted eagerly.

　　"Ahaha~ Luffy-san, the leader of the rebel army is not Crocodile, the leader of the Baroque Working Group is Crocodile." Weiwei said with an embarrassed smile.

　　"Don't worry about it so much. In short, kill everyone who hinders us!" Luffy shouted.

　　"Hey! Are you a villain?!" Usopp said angrily.

　　"Hehe, I can't wait to fight against Shichibukai."

　　Zoro grinned, his eyes full of excitement. He and Luffy were both fighting madmen and had already set their sights on Crocodile, who was a Shichibukai.

　　"Don't cause any more trouble!"

　　Nami glared at Zoro and continued to ask Weiwei: "Then should we take a rest in this city first, or should we leave for Yuba immediately?"

　　"To reach Yuba, you need to cross the desert, and the vast desert consumes a lot of energy, so we must prepare enough food and water in advance!"

　　Weiwei explained to everyone: "We can just collect the necessary supplies in this city!"

　　"Okay! Let's do it!"

　　After hearing Weiwei's words, everyone nodded seriously.

　　Luffy said: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

　　Zoro said: "It's just right. I'll go shopping and see if I can find a good knife."

　　Nami said: "Wei Wei and I will go shopping and buy some nice clothes."

　　Sanji said: "Hey, I wonder if the girls in Alabasta are as cute as Vivi-chan. I want to have a romantic encounter."

　　Ikarem said: "Well, then I'll just stay on the boat and look after the house."

　　"Well, you are eating, shopping, and meeting by chance. Have you all forgotten an important thing?!"

　　Usopp wondered: "Who will collect supplies?"

　　At this moment, everyone was staring at him without saying a word.

　　"Eh? You...why are you looking at me?!"

　　I saw countless blazing eyes locked on him, causing cold sweat to appear on Usopp's forehead.

I took three steps back, feeling that something was wrong.　　"Usopp, I'll leave the collection of supplies to you, come on!" Everyone said with a bad smile.

　　"Eh? Why? You all went to have fun and have a good time, leaving me alone to collect supplies and do the most painful and tiring work. This is unfair! I protest!" Usopp was dissatisfied and jumped in his heart. The feet protest.

　　"Well, great! Then it's up to you, Usopp!"

　　Luffy ignored Usopp's protest and patted him on the shoulder seriously, with a serious expression of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

　　Then, with a "swish" sound, he jumped directly from the warship, raised his hands, and ran excitedly into the city: "It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"

　　Everyone was speechless for a while, knowing that he was looking for a place to eat.

　　"That's it, Usopp!"

　　Zoro smiled and walked towards the city.

　　"Come on, Usopp!"

　　Nami and Weiwei walked hand in hand and walked side by side.

　　"Do it well, Usopp, this is your chance to prove yourself!"

　　Sanji took a puff of his cigarette, gave Usopp a deep look, and then rushed towards the city to have a romantic encounter with the lively and lovely girls.

　　"Wow! Don't be so unloyal. At the very least, someone can help me share the burden and be responsible for buying water?!"

　　Watching his companions slip away one by one, Usopp gradually turned to stone.

　　…

　　This city is located in a desert area, the temperature is very high, and it is usually very hot.

　　It was now midday, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky. The scorching sunlight fell down like a flame, as if the city was completely enveloped in a furnace, and even the earth was as hot as a hot pot.

　　"Ah, it's so hot~"

　　Luffy walked in the hot city, breathing in the heat wave-like air. His mouth was dry from the heat, and he stuck out his tongue listlessly like Erha.

　　"Come, come, big, sweet, fresh watermelon!"

　　"Peach, the meat is tender and juicy, you won't forget it once you take a bite!"

　　"Pineapple! Pineapple!"

　　"Just picked coconut~"

　　The cries of various fruits could be heard from all around, which immediately attracted the thirsty Luffy.

　　"Bring a cart of watermelons!"

　　Luffy ran to a watermelon stall, threw a bag of gold coins to the owner, and bought all the watermelons.

　　He squatted in front of the stall and ate the watermelon happily. After eating seven or eight watermelons, he suddenly felt cool all over and the heat was relieved a lot.

　　"Boss, do you know where the hotel is?"

　　Luffy quenched his thirst, but was still hungry. He had to eat a lot to replenish his energy. He spit out a bunch of black watermelon seeds and asked the owner of the watermelon stand.

　　"Restaurant, go east from here and cross the street in front." The boss said with a smile.

　　"Oh, thank you very much."

　　Luffy nodded, holding two round watermelons in his arms, and followed the route instructed by the boss, eating the watermelons comfortably while walking towards the restaurant in front.

　　While walking, Luffy was suddenly startled and stopped. It felt like he had stepped on something. His feet were soft. He looked down with confusion.

　　I saw a cute little animal lying at my feet, rolling its eyes and foaming at the mouth, as if it had passed out.

　　Luffy brought this mysterious animal in front of him, looked at it carefully for a while, and wondered: "This is... a dog?!"
