One Piece: Turning Fruit

Chapter 202 Uncle Duoduo (This chapter is mainly about the plot of One Piece without the main character)
After a while, the sandstorm, which was not too big, gradually subsided.

The members of the Straw Hat Pirates shook off the sand from their bodies, and stood up from the sand that had suddenly increased by a few centimeters after the sandstorm ended.

Looking at the dilapidated, desolate city in front of her, with no one in sight, Weiwei stood in front of her with a blank expression.

He murmured in disbelief, "How could that be?".

She couldn't believe that this was the bustling city back then.

"This place is too desolate, no different from Aluma," Sauron said after scanning the overall appearance of the city.

Aluma was the first city the Straw Hats met when they came here after they left Rapeseed Flower.

Everyone walked towards the interior of the city silently, looking at the surrounding environment while walking.

"Isn't this an oasis? Vivi", Sanji took a cigarette in his mouth and asked everyone's doubts.

But at this moment, the girl was no longer in the mood to explain, and just walked forward sullenly.

Hope to see the existence of even one figure.

And looking at Weiwei's appearance, although the group of people were still puzzled, they followed Weiwei's pace closely, and even Lu Fei stabilized.

Silent all the way, everyone walked halfway, and suddenly heard bursts of "Sasha" sounds not far away.

After walking a few meters forward, a large pit came into view.

The salsa sound came from here.

Everyone came to the side of the big pit with doubts and bent down to look down.

At the bottom of the big pit, I saw a thin figure holding a shovel and digging down the sand continuously.

At this time, the sandstorm had subsided, and apart from the sound of the shovel digging, there was silence in this square.

The figure who was digging in the pit heard the footsteps of everyone, but he didn't turn around immediately. He continued to move his hands and asked, "Are you a traveler? The journey in the desert must be tiring, but I'm sorry, this city has already passed away." wasted."

"However..you can take a good rest here. There are as many rooms as you want, this is the pride of this city." The figure stopped his movements, turned around and looked at the room with a gentle expression on his face. everyone.

Old, thin, but very energetic.

This was the old man's first impression of Allen.

"Excuse me. Is there any rebel army in this city?" Weiwei asked impatiently when she saw the figure.

Weiwei's purpose of coming here is to find the leader of the rebel army, but at this moment there is no sign of the rebel army, only an old man.

What's wrong with the city?Where did the rebel army go?
All kinds of questions circled anxiously in Weiwei's mind.

But Weiwei's words seemed to touch the back of the old man's heart. His originally gentle expression turned cold instantly, and he shot towards everyone with angry eyes, "Why are you looking for the rebel army!".

The old man who was talking seemed to want to understand something, and found the answer for himself. He inserted the shovel into the soft sand, picked up various objects around him, and threw them at the crowd, "Do you want to Join them!!".

"Wow! Why did you attack suddenly?" Usopp shouted while avoiding various objects thrown by the old man.

There were very few things, just some wooden barrels and baskets containing food, which the old man quickly cleaned.

It did not cause any harm to everyone.

Stopping his offensive, the old man propped up his knees and dressed roughly, "Hoo! Hoo! Let's go! Those guys are no longer in this city!".

After saying these exorcising words, the old man stopped talking to everyone and turned around to continue the work just now.

It seems that there is some treasure below.

"What! How could this happen!!", everyone panicked when they heard the old man's words, and even Allen couldn't help frowning.

Alan had already sensed that something was wrong when he entered the city and didn't see a single figure.

But still thinking on the bright side, the rebels might be hiding.

But the old man's words broke Alan's thoughts.

This.
Did they come for nothing? !

"However. Maybe it's used to confuse the enemy." Allen was not completely credulous, thinking secretly in his heart.

"This city has been under continuous sunshine since three years ago. The land is too dry. Since then, it has been frequently attacked by sandstorms. The city has been submerged little by little, and the oasis has become what it is today." Lao Tzu lowered his head and looked intently Digging the sand, he still opened his mouth to explain, "The city has no hope, and the protracted war of the rebels cannot continue."

"Ah~", he sighed a long time, the old man didn't intend to continue talking, and he told the news that whether he wanted to join the rebel army or the Straw Hats wanted to know the most, "They went to Cattleya ".

"!!", Weiwei couldn't help covering her chest, and the skirt that was originally wrapped around her face to protect her from the wind and sand fell off.

"Vivi, where is Cattleya? Is it close to us?" Luffy looked at Vivi and asked.

"Near the rapeseed flowers", Weiwei slumped on the ground, covering her cheeks.

"It seems that we have come here for nothing." Alan sighed in his heart as he took a sip of his wine and looked at the girl who was played by fate in front of him.

"Vivi?!, did he call Weiwei just now?" At the bottom of the big pit, the old man who was digging with his head down heard the name Luffy just called.

Some surprises turned their heads with anticipation.

Just happened to see the girl's blue hair, "Is it really you?! Xiao Weiwei?!".

When Weiwei heard this somewhat familiar name, she temporarily broke her mind from that sense of powerlessness.

He raised his head and looked at the old man in the pit.

"Really! It's really you!" Looking at Weiwei's familiar cheeks, even though the handsome cheeks that have gradually become a little strange with the girl's age in the past few years, there are still some shadows of her childhood in it .

The old man climbed up from the pit with both hands and feet, and emotionally held Weiwei's shoulders.

"You're still alive! It's me, didn't you recognize it!?"

Looking at Weiwei's still puzzled gaze, the old man sighed in relief and said, "You're right that you didn't recognize it. I can't blame you. I'm much thinner than before."

This sentence ignited Weiwei's memory, looking at the old and thin cheeks of the old man in front of her, it gradually merged with the rich face in Weiwei's memory, "You are Uncle Duoduo!?".

"That's right..." Hot tears pooled in the old man's eyes.

Weiwei covered her mouth with her hand, "How... how did it become like this?"

The appearance of the old man in front of him is completely different from the rich old man in Weiwei's memory.

Looking at the two people who were emotional, Luffy asked the doubts in the hearts of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, including Alan, "Uncle Dodo?".
