Chapter 354 A Rain

Alabasta, Aluma.

In a private house, Lonoli, a young man in his 30s, was lying feebly on the bed, with empty eyes and low breathing.

His sallow complexion and chapped lips showed that he had been dehydrated for a long time. In fact, he had been without water for almost three days.

Even saliva could not be secreted from his mouth, and dry swallowing would bring even greater pain. He knew that he could no longer hold on, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness and confusion.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness completely, he suddenly felt a very sweet clear water flowing into his mouth. His survival instinct made him swallow big swallows subconsciously, and his vision gradually became clearer. When he regained consciousness, he hurriedly pushed it away. With the kettle beside his mouth, he sat up anxiously.

"Loss! You..."

The five-year-old daughter, with a slightly yellow face, shook the kettle, raised her head and opened her mouth, poured the last few drops of water into her mouth, and then smiled stupidly at him.

"Hey, no more..."

Luonoli's eyes turned red instantly, but he couldn't shed tears. He held his daughter tightly in his arms and said hoarsely: "Loss, it's my father's fault, it's my fault... Dad lost all the money in the family." It’s all gone, I didn’t bring back a drop of water… I still have to drink the water you got from a kind traveler with your pocket money…”

"Dad, don't die..."

"...Well, Dad won't die, and neither will Rose. Dad will go out to look for water, and he must, must find water!" Lonoli couldn't cry, but felt a heartbreaking pain in his heart.

"You go to sleep first. After a nap, dad will come back with water." He put Rose, who was a little weak due to lack of water, into bed, and he staggered out and walked to the yard.

The cruel sun burned on the sand, and the air was distorted by heat. He was already short of water, and every step he took was very difficult in this environment.

After leaving the yard, what came into view was the cracked street. Not far away, you could still see familiar faces lying on their backs on the ground, their chests rising and falling slightly, and they groaned in confusion.

Looking for water? Where can I find water?

His eyes were confused and desperate.

The whole Eluma is going dry!

Why... why is this happening? Why doesn't it rain for more than three months? Why did the canal break at this time? Why does the price of water in Yudi rise so expensive...

"God, Your Majesty, it's good for everyone, please save us!" He knelt down dejectedly.

Click——

As if hearing his call, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky expectantly. An acquaintance lying on the ground not far away seemed to have opened his eyes.

Clouds, clouds are coming...

It's cloudy...

Snapped--

A drop of water hit him hard on the face.

"Is it really raining?"

"It's raining?!"

A distant voice responded.

In an instant, this seemingly dry and dead city came to life. Countless people rushed out of their homes, raising their heads and opening their mouths.

"Is it really raining?!"

"Woooooooo..."

"He can be saved! Eluma can be saved!"

Lonoli couldn't cry out. He heard his daughter running out, cheering and jumping around him, and then she hugged his neck, still kneeling on the ground, with her mouth wide open, feeling the heavy rain hitting him. There were tears mixed in his mouth.

"I'm saved... I'm saved..."

…

"It's raining!"

"It's really raining! Hahaha..."

Even in rainy areas that are not short of water, people will cheer for the rain. Only those water sellers who are secretly controlled by Crocodile will look ugly.

In the midst of the celebration, a large group of naval soldiers suddenly rushed out, sealed off the casino, and arrested the water sellers, causing waves of chaos and causing people to hide back home.

'Niko Nami', who had already hid in the bookstore, was watching everything on the street from the window, looking surprised. Why is it raining? She knows best. After using that amount of dancing powder, it is normal for it not to rain for the next six months!

Recalling the sudden drop in temperature before the rain, she looked towards the desert. Everyone thought that the drop in temperature was due to the cloudy weather, but the cold air coming from afar made her feel very familiar.

"Could it be him... Holo..." Her face became a little unnatural, and her heart tightened with worry.

…

Albana, Royal Palace, King Kobra was also surprised by the rain.

Three days ago, he received a call from the World Government, informing him of Crocodile's conspiracy in Alabasta, and asking him not to make any announcements about his actions, and someone from the Navy would handle it.

He was angry and blamed himself.

The anger is directed at Crocodile, and the self-blame is because he is unaware of this kind of thing. The people of the kingdom may have to work hard in the drought for a long time. This is completely his dereliction of duty as the king!

But today...it rained.

"Father!" Princess Weiwei, who was still a little girl and had just turned 13, ran over with joy on her face: "This time it rained not only in Albana, but everywhere in the center of the kingdom, except for the cities along the coast. It’s raining!”

She doesn't yet know the true nature of the drought.

Kobra didn't know that if Crocodile had not been reported, his 14-year-old daughter would go undercover in the Baroque Studio in another year to find a way to save the country.

He touched Weiwei's head and said with a smile: "That's really great, Weiwei!"

…

in the desert.

Crocodile, who had eaten the Sand-Sand Fruit and hated rain the most, looked up and let the heavy rain hit his face, his eyes a little gloomy.

He admitted defeat.

He stopped running.

Continuing to run would only bring humiliation upon himself.

"Tsk, monster." With a cold snort, he turned and walked towards Ji Xing and Aokiji.

Over there, Aokiji stretched out his palm, felt the power of the raindrops, looked at Ji Xing, who was restrained in his domineering color, and said: "So it was because of this that you appeared in front of me and attacked me? Well, do you need more ice? The rainfall brought by the ice is not enough, right?"

"Uh..." Ji Xing smiled: "As a navy admiral, don't you learn some knowledge of navigation? The lack of rain in Alabasta does not mean that there are no rain clouds, but because of the climate, it is difficult for rain clouds to turn into rain. Your ice and my domineering are just the trigger to attract those The rain was falling.

It would be fine for an ordinary island, but if we want to bring a heavy rain to a superpower like Alabasta, we will be exhausted. "

"Is that so?" Aokiji scratched his wet hair: "It seems... Mr. Zefa said it in class? It seems not... Alas."

He sighed deeply and returned to his lazy look: "Is it worth it to bring a rain to Alabasta even if it means exposing the contact with the devil's son Nico Robin?"

"What do you think?" Ji Xing sheathed his sword.

Aokiji nodded in understanding: "It's not surprising that you have such amazing domineering aura."

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed again: "That's it. I will report everything that happened today to Marshal Sengoku truthfully. Well, considering Marshal Sengoku's justice, he will probably appreciate your actions, but of course he will be on guard.

A reminder, you may have already understood that you'd better have less contact with Nico Robin, the son of the devil. It's good for you and for her... Well, I guess a man like you won't listen to such advice."

He shook his head, took Crocodile, who came to his side and lit a cigar, and walked towards the coast. When he passed by Ji Xing, he turned around and said: "Unparalleled freedom, firmness Believe that what you do is right, and don't care about the side effects. Many of these people eventually become famous pirates.

You seem to be a little different from them, but it's hard to say where the difference is... Well, anyway, I still hope that there won't be a day when we won't become real enemies. "

Ji Xing looked at him and smiled, "When one day you doubt whether what you do is right, then don't doubt it, it's wrong."

Aokiji stopped and turned his back to Ji Xing. Ji Xing just said, "Goodbye, Admiral Aokiji."

"Ah... Goodbye."

Aokiji just waved his hand back and continued to move forward. Crocodile, who was following him, looked back at Ji Xing with an ambiguous look.

That newspaper... doesn't seem to reveal the matter of Pluto? Was it kept secret, or did he and Nico Robin send the intelligence to the World Government without the content of Pluto? Hum, interesting.

"What are you looking at me for? Reflect and reform in prison, Crocodile."

This sentence made Crocodile angry again, and Ji Xing turned and walked towards this country that was celebrating because of the rain!

Another book, this one has been read by Siyang, and I highly recommend it!

Book title: "My Shura Field is a Bit Too Much"

Chu Liansheng, who has been successful for many years, returned to his high school alma mater to donate scholarships.

But he fell asleep on the seat where he sat for three years.

When he woke up again, he saw the stern face of the head teacher, the laughter of his classmates, and her deskmate.

After figuring out the situation of his reincarnation, Chu Liansheng made a decision that went against his ancestors.

Talk about more love.
