A wonderful adventure that begins with a pirate

Alabasta, rainy land.

Today, the weather in the city is particularly dull.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain?" This thought came to people's minds when they saw the sky above their heads and felt the air around them.

The Rain Land is a rare oasis in the vast desert. Therefore, although there has been no rain in the entire kingdom except for the capital Arupana in the past year, it can still feed the large population on the land with local water sources, so it can be said that the rainlanders are not like other places Just as eager for rain.

However, it is always a good thing to see rain in this arid land.

Therefore, everyone in the oasis smiled with joy.

Huhu

The wind was howling wildly, and this extremely unusual wind force seemed to indicate that things were not that simple.

Finally, with the changes in the celestial phenomena, the Yudi people who were originally full of expectations gradually felt that something was wrong, and even became anxious and frightened.

Because the clouds above are constantly accumulating, from floating like tulle to soft like cotton, and finally become like a steamed bun with a flat bottom and a convex top, but this steamed bun is as solid and heavy as a huge mountain.

Countless rain flags and broken rain clouds are floating at the bottom of the mountain, and the center of the bottom of the mountain is directly above people's heads, giving people destructive pressure.

Standing on the ground and looking at the terrifying thick clouds that were clearly in the distant sky but seemed to be pressing down in front of me, I felt such a strong sense of suffocation that it almost made me breathless. Behind the dark, chaotic, undulating cloud base, there is even more dazzling lightning flashing

Is it a cumulonimbus or a thunderstorm cloud?

The rumble of thunder rang in the ears, and the dazzling electric light pierced the sky. When disaster weather actually formed right above the oasis, everyone was full of fear and quickly fled home or looked for shelter in a building.

Oh my god, how could a thunderstorm appear in the rainy land? People were filled with panic and disbelief.

However, this rare weather in the desert has indeed formed, and it is even incalculably huge and terrifying.

Rumble

The sudden thunder was like placing a tube of dynamite in everyone's ears, making people dizzy and palpitating. As the thunderstorm came, strong winds, showers and even hail also swarmed in.

People were hiding in their houses, all nervous. All their previous longing for love was gone at this moment, they were just looking forward to the thunderstorm disappearing and the sky to clear up again.

Just as the people of Yudi were praying for the natural disaster to dissipate and for their own safety, thunder suddenly fell.

boom

A huge thunderbolt that could be clearly seen hundreds of miles away hit the rain feast in the center of the oasis without missing a beat.

The huge amount of light and heat caused the air to expand at a level exceeding the speed of sound. It not only made an explosion, but also formed a violent hurricane that blew away all the surrounding coconut trees. While the strong wind and sound waves shook the whole city, the thunder that penetrated the sky and the earth There is no sign of weakening at all, and it still carries the power of the cloud top and ravages the land below.

Some people had the courage to peek through the window and secretly observed the scene. When they saw the terrifying scene in front of them, they all opened their mouths and could not close them.

But inside the rain banquet, the man who was right in the heart of Hong Lei felt the endless and endless energy above, and immediately understood that all this was not a natural celestial phenomenon but a man-made force.

Someone is targeting him

The King of the Desert, the hero of Alabasta, one of the Seven Seas of War under the King, and more importantly, a user with the ability of the natural Shasha Fruit, the great pirate Crocodile was extremely angry at this moment.

Not only because someone secretly attacked him, but also because the enemy's attack really caused him to suffer huge damage.

The natural system is indeed powerful, but elementalization is not omnipotent. Sand is not weak, but it will melt on the spot once it encounters enough high temperature and heat.

Thunder, of course, does not lack this ability

Therefore, as soon as the thunder fell, Crocodile's fur cloak was burned to nothing, and then all the other clothes were in tatters, and even he himself was covered in blood.

Crocodile, who previously thought he was unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, did not escape immediately. Now he saw that the lightning that was supposed to be fleeting showed no sign of dissipating. Of course he knew there was a ghost, so he quickly resolved it. Make yellow sand, escape from the range of thunder bombardment, and then fly out from the ground pierced by thunder, and come to the outside world to regroup.

嗤

Burns and scorch marks were all over Crocodile's body, and even the residual high heat in several parts still made him make a sound and smell like roasting.

It is simply a shame and humiliation for the majestic sand crocodile to suffer such serious injuries and losses.

Extremely angry, he looked up and saw the thick dark clouds above his head. He immediately raised his arms and swung wildly, throwing out dozens of yellow spiral airflows: "Heavy Shalan"

In this violent shout, the air currents thrown out by him swelled in the wind, and expanded several times in one breath. In just a moment, more than a dozen wildly raging tornadoes appeared in the rain field, and the strong wind stirred up the yellow sand. The whole sky and half of the rainy land were trembling in this violent wind and sand.

"You bastards, get out of here," Crocodile roared furiously as he looked at the lead clouds stirred by the tornado in the distance.

Crocodile did have reason to be furious, and taking action to destroy the obviously intentionally created celestial phenomenon in front of him was both an angry move and the right choice in the battle.

However, in his rage, he forgot that he was currently in an oasis. The dozen or so destructive waves of flying sand were enough to make his originally tall image in the hearts of the Rainlanders collapse on the spot.

This is not alarmist, the reactions around him have already confirmed this.

Around the rain feast, people who were hiding by the windows and watching carefully saw the rare appearance of this Alabasta hero. They were first excited, so much so that they seemed to have forgotten about the dangerous thunderstorm, and then they were worried and frightened. , because he saw the horrific injuries on his body.

As a result, the place was not as lively as when he usually appeared on stage. People neither cheered nor greeted him because they didn't know whether to make a sound or not.

However, when he created the dust that swept the rainy ground, people became really silent. Although everyone could see that something was wrong with the dark clouds above their heads, in any case, the thunderstorm did not really cause any harm for the time being, and the thunderstorm roared away. The Yellow Salon roll may have put other rainland residents at risk.

Probably aware of the bad atmosphere around him, Crocodile immediately put on an expression and pretended to say: "I'm sorry, I just lost my cool and was too reckless, but my original intention was to disrupt the atmosphere above the rain ground. Dangerous thunderstorm clouds to keep everyone safe."

After speaking, he apologized again.

Crocodile was cunning and cunning, and his lie was quite convincing, so some of the residents accepted his statement, but some were skeptical.

Some people seem to remember and confirm his true identity as a notorious pirate, and feel even more chilled in their hearts.

But if there are no accidents, none of this will matter. After all, ordinary people cannot pose any obstacle to the strong man who is the Shichibukai, and Crocodile maintaining this superficial disguise is enough to carry out his plan.

However, today was an unexpected day.

boom

Another lightning strike struck crazily, and the column of electricity flooded Crocodile again.
