To the end of the sea [One Piece]

"I said..." Sanji opened his mouth and said blankly, looking at the scene in front of him that was almost the same as the Green City Elmar, "Is this Yuba?"

Weiwei also froze on the spot, her eyes full of disbelief: "How could... Yuba also..."

"Are you desert travelers?" Suddenly a man's voice came from below. They looked over and saw that the older man was digging the ground with a shovel. "Yuba has been destroyed by the wind and sand, and the oasis has been buried underground. However, the hotel here is still open. You are tired from the journey, so you can go there to rest tonight."

"Excuse me...I heard that the rebels are here..." Weiwei stepped forward and asked. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly became furious when he heard the rebels: "What?! Don't you want to join the rebels?"

"No...it's not..." Weiwei took a step back and bumped into Eina. Eina supported her and subconsciously called her name: "Are you okay, Weiwei?"

"It's okay." She glanced at her gratefully, but the uncle opposite him trembled the moment he heard her name: "Wei... Weiwei?"

"Is it Weiwei...?" A man who looked older than his actual age walked up quickly with trembling hands and held her hand: "Do you still recognize me... It's no wonder, I'm much thinner than before... "

Weiwei identified it carefully and was suddenly shocked and speechless: "Are you...Uncle Doto?!!"

It turns out that this old man is actually the father of Weiwei's childhood sweetheart, Kosha! After more than ten years of separation, the other party has been completely transformed by the torment of the dry desert.

"It's so great that you are still alive..." Doto couldn't help but shed tears as he looked at the grown-up girl in front of him, "I have always believed in His Majesty the King all these years... His Majesty, he will definitely not betray this country, right? "

He wiped his tears: "Weiwei, if you came to Yuba to find the rebels, Kosha and the others have already moved their gathering place. This place has long been an abandoned city, and they have moved to Catlia."

"Katlia?!" Weiwei said in surprise, "But...but that's the direction of Nalohara..."

"What??" Zoro and Usopp couldn't help shouting, "Then why did we go to all this trouble to come here!"

It turned out that the rebels had already gone near the city where they first landed, which meant that their trip across the desert was in vain.

Doto sighed and said: "Weiwei... Those brats from Kosa have been setting up the rebel army for so long. They have already exhausted their energy, and now they are struggling to hold on. Their physical strength should no longer be enough to continue to hold on. I’m afraid it will be a fight to the death in the next conflict.”

The elderly father made a sad request to their princess: "Please help me...stop them. They...have long been determined to die..."

"I will." Weiwei looked at her uncle whom she had loved since childhood and said firmly, "I will definitely stop the rebellion."

They spent the night in Yuba, packed their bags again the next day, said goodbye to Dotto and left Yuba.

"Okay, then we have to go back to Catlia now." Nami sighed, but still picked up the luggage firmly, "Let's go!"

"I quit." To everyone's surprise, the boy who was usually the most positive about everything sat down on the ground.

Luffy's sudden behavior made everyone stunned. Sanji walked up and grabbed Luffy's collar: "Hey, Luffy, we don't have time to accompany you to get emotional here!"

"I'm not going." Luffy said uncharacteristically without expression, "Viv, I want to defeat Crocodile. Even if you return to Catlia and stop the rebellion, can you stop Crocodile?"

Everyone was stunned, and Weiwei didn't know how to answer Luffy's question.

"What we are facing is the Shichibukai, and we are pirates." Luffy said calmly, "Facing the turmoil of tens of millions of people, and the intervention of the Shichibukai, it is about the survival of a country, but Weiwei, you Or do you just want everyone to live well, don’t you think it’s too naive?”

"Hey Luffy, please consider Vivi's feelings for a moment..." Nami said anxiously, but was stopped by Eina.

The silver-haired girl shook her head slightly.

The blue-haired princess suppressed her anger and rushed forward to grab Luffy: "I just want to keep everyone alive, what's wrong with this?!"

"Everyone is mortal." Luffy came out with cold words that were completely inconsistent with his usual tone.

Weiwei's anger finally broke out, and she punched Luffy hard: "Stop talking! If you continue, I really won't forgive you!"

Luffy's face was slapped aside by her, and he was still saying: "In this kind of war, if you want to really save Alabasta, you can't risk everything!"

"Then what should I bet?" Weiwei's voice was already filled with tears, and she punched Luffy one after another. She was not venting her anger towards Luffy, but more towards facing herself for a long time. A feeble anger towards the suffering citizens.

Luffy turned over and punched her back: "Then why did you risk your life! You were lurking in Baroque alone, risking your life to get information; if you hadn't met us, you would have come back here alone to stop us Rebellion, why did you put your life at risk!"

"Because I have nothing else!"

Vivi burst into tears and was grabbed by Luffy's wrist.

She cried: "Because there is... nothing left..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Luffy yelled angrily, "You at least -"

"We should put our lives on the line too! Aren't we companions!!!"

Aren't we companions?

Weiwei was so shocked that she forgot to cry and looked at Luffy blankly. After a moment, she covered her mouth and cried tremblingly.

Everyone watching them understood their captain's intentions at this time, and no one said anything. Nami took a step forward and hugged Weiwei into her arms.

Luffy picked up his straw hat and stood up: "I know you are the most unwilling one. I know you want to defeat that man more than anyone else. So, tell me..."

"Where is Crocodile??!"

--------------

"If we decide to go directly to Crocodile, we don't need to take such a long detour." Weiwei wiped away her tears and took out the map, "Go north from here, and you can reach Crocodile in one day's walk. The city of dreams where it is located, the Rain Land.”

"Okay, then let's go to the rain land and beat Crocodile away!" Luffy stood up and said loudly.

Under the leadership of Weiwei, they turned to the north.

"Thank you, Luffy." Weiwei said softly, "If it weren't for you here, I definitely wouldn't be able to make such a decision."

"Just remember to treat me to dinner." Luffy said weakly, "Ah - it's so hot -"

Weiwei laughed: "Yeah! It's settled!"

"But speaking of which, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, Luffy." Eina suddenly spoke, with a solemn expression, "In addition to Crocodile's Baroque Studio, we may also need to pay attention to a group of people."

"Huh? Who is it?" Luffy asked, sticking out his tongue.

"Navy." As soon as Ena finished her words, everyone screamed: "Are you talking about the navy that Rohara met? But didn't they happen to meet us, so they had a conflict with us!"

"No, it's not like that." Eina said, "The one who appeared in Narohara before was the naval colonel we met in Rogge Town, Smoker. He was not an officer in charge of Alabasta at all, but Even if you leave the station alone, you have to chase him all the way to catch Luffy before he appears here."

"What?!" Nami said, "So his target is Luffy?"

"That's right..." Eina said, "That guy is very difficult to deal with, and he is targeting Luffy for some unknown reason, so we must be mentally prepared and cannot ignore the navy factor."

"That doesn't matter!" Luffy said, "I just want to beat Crocodile away. What happens to that cigarette man is none of my business!"

Ena held her forehead: "Yes, you don't have to worry about this..."

"Speaking of precautions, we must be careful when we enter the rainy land." Weiwei said, "Except for Eina and Sanji, all of you should have had your face touched by Mr. 2. We have to do this The other party already knows our appearance and plans to prepare. We cannot move around in the rain, otherwise our whereabouts will be exposed."

"That's right. After all, the other party is an organization that specializes in assassinations." Zoro said.

Eina didn't speak, but silently thought of the short sword she got in Rogge Town before.

Yunjuyan.

Speaking of assassinations...she seems to be no stranger to this matter.

Including her unusual perception ability that appeared at critical moments countless times, Eina was a little eager to try, if it was an assassination, there might be a new project for her to play with.

----------------

Weiwei was right, it only took them one day to reach the rainy land. After entering the city, Luffy and Usopp shouted to buy water, so the rest of the people waited in the shade.

"It should be okay..." Weiwei said worriedly.

"No, I'm just running an errand." Nami said with a smile.

Eina quietly observed the street and was suddenly startled.

"Hey, Zoro." She whispered to the one who was closest to her and relatively the most reliable: "If we are exposed, I will separate from you as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Zoro looked at her doubtfully.

"My appearance is the only one here that has not been exposed." Eina said, "So just in case, I need to separate from you. In this way, if something happens, I can find another opportunity to cooperate with you in the dark. "

Zoro immediately understood what she meant: "I know. But we are still safe for the time being."

"No... what I'm most worried about may have happened." Eina said with a headache, "If you look carefully at the street, those people are obviously from the navy. In addition to those in uniform, there are also those who are buying fruits. , the way the belts on their waists are knotted is the unified standard of the navy, and I’m afraid it is also the navy.”

Zoro looked at her in surprise: "How did you know..."

Before I finished speaking, it was already too late. Luffy and Usopp ran over shouting, followed by a crowd of people.

The leader is Smoker.

"Ah, what a bad fate..." Ena Toudaichi was on alert, "It would be strange not to be exposed when being chased by the navy like this!"

"Be careful." Zoro said.

"I know! Weiwei!" Eina called to Weiwei urgently, "Where exactly is Crocodile!"

"Ah...in the building with the crocodile head!" Weiwei said, "The casino called 'Yuyan'!"

Ena nodded and quickly disappeared down the street before Luffy and Usopp brought the navy in front of them.
