Chapter 012
The storm gradually approached, towards the already desolate land, and the wild sand swept over.
The old man looked excitedly at his feet, and a large stream of water emerged from the deep pit at this time.
“Water?! So much water?! The old man was so excited that tears unconsciously crossed his old cheeks.
“Bang!”
The shovel in his hand plunged deep into the ground, and the old man turned around, looking firmly at the wind and sand rushing towards this side.
“No matter what, Yuba will not lose to Sand!” The old man’s gaze was firm, and he said word by word.
“As long as you survive this wind and sand, it will definitely rain.” Saying this, the old man’s face raised a childlike smile.
“Whew! Call! ”
The answer to the old man was an even more violent wind sound, and the sand and dust came all over the sky, gradually drowning the straight figure of the old man standing.
……
“Father!?”
At this time, as if sensing something, Kosha, who was riding on a horse and galloping towards Albana, suddenly raised his head to look at the scorching sun and whispered.
“Kobra! I will never let you ruin this country! Kosha seemed to have tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, but his expression became more determined.
“How can the fate of the country be entrusted to you!?” Firmly said in his heart, Kosha moved faster.
Behind Kosha, the large rebels formed a formation and quickly advanced in the direction of Albana.
……
Compared to the chaos in Alabastan, the sea is quiet.
Ping Xiao was lying comfortably on the deck at this time, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Little Orange sat on a chair not far from Pingxiao, with a pair of fishing rods in front of him, yawning boredly.
“The fish is going to take the bait.” For a long time, Ping Xiao slowly opened his eyes and said lightly.
“Huh!?” Little Orange looked down at the fishing rod in front of him, not moving at all, and then cast his puzzled gaze towards Ping Xiao.
But Ping Xiao only smiled lightly and did not open his mouth to explain anything.
Seeing this, Little Tangerine puffed out his mouth with some dissatisfaction and lowered his head to play with the ends of his hair.
……
Consciousness gradually blurred.
Luffy’s body had sunk into quicksand, and now he didn’t even have the strength to struggle.
“Your pirate level and I are not a grade at all!” Klockdar’s words sounded again in his ears.
“Luffy in the straw hat… Newcomers like you who can only talk big are everywhere on this great voyage! ”
“The weak are not qualified to talk about justice!”
What an unwillingness!
Luffy gritted his teeth desperately, but he couldn’t get out of the predicament in front of him.
At this time, Luffy faintly heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and found a tall woman standing in front of him, his black and blue eyes staring at him thoughtfully.
……
In the waters near Albana, a sea ship quietly moored here.
On the deck, a man with a large back, a long cross-cut scar on his face, and earrings on his right ear is sitting quietly, with a cigar in the corner of his mouth, and the most striking feature is a gold hook in his left hand.
That’s right, this man is the famous sand crocodile, one of the seven martial seas of His Majesty, the president of the Baroque Work Society, and also the one who masterminded the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Alabastan, Shah Klockdar.
At this time, the sand crocodile was silently looking at Pingxiao on the opposite side, with a smile at the corner of his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, but did not speak.
Ping Xiao was lying on a chair, with a pair of fishing rods in front of him, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, very leisurely, very relaxed, without a little nervousness.
“Whoosh! Wow! ”
Suddenly, on the calm sea, there was a sound of sea water surging, and the fishing rod placed in front of Ping Xiao trembled violently.
“It looks like a fish has taken the bait.” Ping Xiao smiled lightly, slowly collected the fishing line, and said: “It’s not easy, after waiting for so long, I still have something to gain!” ”
“It seems that you have been waiting for the fish to deliver it by itself.” The sand crocodile also smiled, took a sip of his cigar, and said: “It seems that the fish caught is not small, right!?” ”
“But it’s enough.” Ping Xiao said lightly, his hands pulled hard, and a fish half a meter above broke out of the water and fell on the deck.
“Bang! Bang! ”
The fish that had left the surface struggled desperately to escape back into the sea, but could only pat the deck in vain.
“Such a big fish, can you eat it!?” The sand crocodile slowly leaned back in his chair, raising an inexplicable smile on his face.
“It’s better to give up, there are so many ingredients, and the taste is very good!” The sand crocodile’s gaze locked on Ping Xiao, and he said thoughtfully.
“Forget it! I always have a good appetite, the big fish is delicious, one braised and one steamed, just enough to drink! Ping Xiao stretched out his hand, picked up the big fish on the ground, and threw it into the fish tank next to it.
The smile on the sand crocodile’s face disappeared, and he looked at Ping Xiao expressionlessly, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
“I heard you wanted to interview me!?” The sand crocodile said in a gentle tone.
“No way, I’m a journalist, of course I want to interview some big people, I have to rely on this line to eat.” Ping Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
“You know a lot of things!” The sand crocodile raised his left hand and looked at his golden hook.
“The most important thing is that I haven’t mentioned it!” Ping Xiao looked at the sand crocodile with flat eyes, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
“I’m afraid-” The sand crocodile’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice said coldly: “You don’t have a chance to mention it again!” ”
The body of the sand crocodile suddenly jumped, and the golden hook in his left hand slashed towards Ping Xiao, and the sharp edge of the golden hook shone with a cold luster in the sunlight.
“Scorpion poison needle!”
At this moment, the sand crocodile looked at Ping Xiao’s eyes with indifference, as if he was looking at a dead person.
……
“Thank you!”
Luffy, who was rescued, gasped, looked at the woman in front of him, and said intermittently.
In front of Luffy, there stood a woman wearing a white polite coat who was looking at Luffy with a flat expression.
“Why fight?! What is the reason for such desperation ?! Looking at Luffy, who was covered in scars, the woman slowly asked, “The person with the ‘D’ character in his name!” ”
Luffy didn’t speak, just gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes full of determination.
“Looks like I asked a superfluous question.” The woman seemed to smile lightly, and as she spoke, reached out and put Luffy’s straw hat on Luffy.
