Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 158 Desert Kingdom (75 begging to subscribe)
"Hmm... is this the scenery of the desert kingdom? It's really unique..."

At this time, Wright was disguised as an ordinary middle-aged traveler - wearing a turban and a light-colored coat to prevent sunburn.

The "Ash" that has advanced into a large sharp knife is inserted in an unremarkable scabbard, and is hung by Wright's waist. It does not look special from the outside.

Alabasta, a superpower in the "paradise" of the first half of the Great Line, has a long history and a standing army of 60—in some small countries, the total number of adults is not much more than this number.

Alabasta has tens of millions of citizens, and its history can be traced back to 4000 years ago, and its capital has been established for more than 2000 years...

Just the Neferutali royal family, which goes back 800 years.The current king is the Twelfth——Nefirutari Cobra!
With a vast coastline, the stretching Sandora River and several large oases with abundant precipitation, the vast desert environment not only did not cause the people of Alabasta to live hard, but also formed a unique desert-style culture due to the unique geographical environment.

Since he entered Alabasta by a formal route on a merchant ship, Wright did not encounter the Kung Fu manatees that were said to be swarming along the coast...

Heh, the one who beat up the old man in the Warring States period should be gone...

Wright started from Aluma City on the west bank of the San Dora River, passed through Juba City, and came all the way to the dream city of Alabasta—Rainland.

This is where Shah Krokdal's baroque workshop nestled.

But now this sinister and cunning sand crocodile is still accumulating reputation, and has not yet implemented his evil plan.

Coupled with Qiwuhai's identity as a guarantee, his "performance" behavior against pirates simply packaged himself as a national hero.

"The city of dreams in the desert, the oasis in the rain..."

Wright looked at this beautiful city on the banks of the San Dora River, which is separated from the capital of Alabasta, Albana, and sighed.

"Unfortunately, when the crime never happened, even if you knew the result, you couldn't kill the damn sand crocodile in advance..."

"Brother Sakaski, if he knows what I know, maybe... no, he will definitely raze the entire rainy land to the ground..."

While lamenting the terrible words, Wright stepped into the beautiful city.

When he came this time, Wright naturally didn't come to clean up the sand crocodiles.Wright knew exactly what Lao Sha wanted to do, and now he could only remind Cobra of this kind of thing, and he could not do it directly.

Although Alabasta now has the historical text, Wright can't decipher it, and it's useless to read it.

As for Pluto...

That is unrealistic.

The main purpose of coming here is to take a look in advance, how to solve the problem of the arid city that will be destroyed when Laosha is doing things in the future.

Although Lao Sha cannot be arrested immediately to prevent that man-made "natural disaster" from happening, warning Cobra and proposing a solution can protect the people from harm.

In the final analysis, what the navy should do is to protect.As one of the few people in the navy who can directly influence the decision-making of the marshal, Wright should use the future he knows more to avoid tragedies.

Just like that time with Zefa.

The navy cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Alabasta as a member country, but as a diligent and loving king who can't even bear to raise taxes, Cobra will not ignore things to improve people's livelihood.

In the large-scale rebellion in Alabasta in the future, the rebel army will even outnumber the Royal Army, which shows how much damage Lao Sha has done to this country!

Needless to say, the cities located on both sides of the San Dora River, the San Dora River with abundant water is enough to nourish them.

Rainland is the most representative huge oasis in Alabasta, with abundant underground water sources. Although it is inland, less rainfall has little effect.

Juba, which is also an inland city in the south of the rainy land, is not so lucky.

Although Juba is an oasis, the underground water source is far inferior to the rainy land, and most of the city's water needs can only be maintained by rainwater.The city is surrounded by deserts, and it is impossible to transport water from nearby oases.

Therefore, if there is no precipitation in Yuba, that little oasis will not last for a few years and will dry up.

What is more dangerous than Yuba is the city of Aluma, which does not even have an oasis.Although it is closer to the Santo Dora River, Alma City, which has no underground water source, is still facing the situation of seawater erosion in the lower reaches of the Santo Dora River.

It's unfortunate - the city of Aluma is located in the eroded river section.Guarding the big river, but only inedible sea water.If there is no rainfall there, it will also face the erosion of sea water, and it will even be difficult to survive a year.

Fortunately, Alabasta never seems to have experienced a massive lack of rain, and cities like Juba and Alma have survived.

And Crocodile, in the future, will deprive several cities of rainwater for three years-Eluma will perish as a result, and Juba will also be on the verge of extinction, while other cities that are smaller or more dependent on rainwater will perish. How many?

"It's not about changing the way these cities get water — that's going to be much harder than creating a new city in the middle of the desert."

Wright silently observed the situation in the rainy land, combined with the environment of Ailuma and Yuba, and basically gave up the idea of ​​opening up the water sources of the three places.

Even if he is a great swordsman, he can't open a canal-sized waterway in the desert—if he can do it, cities won't be isolated by the desert for thousands of years.

"It seems that we can only warn Cobra and encourage urban residents to take the initiative to store water."

"If Cobra is indeed shrewd enough, with a reminder, he should be able to discover Crocodile's trick in time."

"I don't know if the light-forged Beacon will have time to develop the ability to transport large-scale objects-it seems that I will go to Vegapunk for a while."

If there is an enhanced version of the Light Forged Beacon, of course everything can be easily solved.But after all, Alabasta is not a country where the navy is stationed, it just has warships from the Navy headquarters patrolling the nearby waters.

Therefore, even if the Lightcast Beacon is used for disaster relief in the future, King Cobra must understand the seriousness of the matter and personally approve it.

"Crocodile, this guy recently wiped out several groups of pirates... With Cobra's IQ, can't he detect the conspiracy behind this?"

"It seems that Shichibukai is really a deceptive title...Could it be that Cobra really regards Qibukai as the world's ZF?"

Wright walked towards the largest casino in the rainy land - Crocodile's "Rain Banquet", complaining silently.

"Looks like it's time to explain the difference between Shichibukai and Navy to Cobrakop."

"A big pirate is a big pirate...Even if they stand on the side of the world ZF in name, they are all rebellious guys."

"Heroes, they can't do it... It's still up to the navy to save the common people!"
