The Pirate of the Void Throne

It's almost dusk.

The vast desert presents a golden color, and countless wrinkles of sand and stones are like solidified waves, extending to the golden horizon in the distance.

A slender figure stood facing the wind, standing upright on an unnamed sand dune.

There was an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist, and his angular face had no expression. It was Kosha.

Boom! !

Without any warning, the sea of ​​sand not far from the dunes began to boil violently.

Immediately,

A huge sandbag quickly bulged from it, and as the sandbag got higher and higher, scattered sand continued to slide down from it.

When the last grain of sand stopped sliding, a huge figure more than 30 meters long broke out of the ground and appeared in the thick dust.

Wind blows,

Countless dust was blown away.

A huge purple lizard came into view. It looked at Kousha with a ferocious expression, slowly opened its mouth, and a drop of saliva flowed out.

Tick ​​tock!

The saliva dripped on the sand, causing a burst of heat, which was quickly evaporated by the hot sand.

The monster in the desert, the desert lizard, was encountered by the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work.

If it were normal, Kosha would definitely hide as far away as possible when seeing the desert lizard, because this monster in front of him has eaten countless Yuba people.

But now...he is different!

Actual combat is always the only criterion to test one's strength.

Having strength but no combat experience is just like a kid playing with a big sword, and will not be able to exert a strong combat effectiveness at all.

So Kosha looked at the monster-like purple lizard in front of him, with no trace of fear on his face.

Now, he urgently needs a battle to perfectly adapt to the surge in strength.

This is also the reason why Kosha appears alone in the desert.

Kosha stood still. The huge purple lizard didn't have so many thoughts. As the overlord of the desert, the purple lizard didn't have any worries.

In its eyes, Kosha, a small human being, is nothing more than a delicious dessert.

therefore,

When Kosha stared at it, the purple lizard immediately started to move.

Although the purple lizard is huge, its movements are not slow at all.

bang...

A burst of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded, and the purple lizard immediately used its hands and feet to rush towards Kosha.

A billowing line of smoke swayed and rose behind it like a long dragon.

"Come on, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Facing the oncoming figure of the purple lizard, Kosha's eyes froze.

Clang!

He grasped the long sword at his waist with his right hand and drew it out of its sheath.

The sword body turned, and the sharp blade shone coldly in the sunlight.

"I'll just give it a try with you... my improved strength."

As he finished speaking, Kosha stepped on the ground with one foot.

Bang! !

The ground beneath my feet exploded, and dust was stirred up.

When the dust was flying, Kosha's figure suddenly flew out,

It shot towards the purple lizard like an arrow.

"Ah……"

The purple lizard's mouth opened with a ferocious look, as if it was laughing at Kousha's overestimation of his abilities.

An ant-like human dares to attack it! ?

The purple lizard immediately raised its arm and slapped Kousha hard, and waves of wind pressure rose crazily upward along the edge of the beast's palm.

The ensuing power came to Kousha with great pressure.

The air seemed to be squeezed out, giving people a sense of suffocation.

This is... a slap comparable to that of the giants!

"It's useless."

Kosha said to himself and swung his sword.

in an instant,

Sword light and beast palms crisscrossed in mid-air.

Kosha landed lightly on the ground with his back to the purple lizard.

Behind.

laugh! ——

Blood spurted out and turned into a bloody rain.

A huge beast's palm shot up into the sky and landed heavily on the ground, splashing up a piece of sand.

Hey!

The purple lizard's face was twisted in pain, and he obviously didn't expect that the delicious food in front of him would hurt him.

It stared at Kosha, its huge eyes filled with scarlet bloodshot eyes.

He looked like he wanted to bite Kosha into pieces.

However, just when the purple lizard wanted to take action and was about to launch an attack, it was suddenly stunned.

Because at some point, Kosha had disappeared from its sight.

Where it stood, only a ripple of smoke and dust was left.

laugh!

Just when the purple lizard was at a loss, the sound of a sword cutting through its flesh was heard.

Immediately,

The head of the purple lizard flew high into the air, then rolled onto the ground on its back.

In the brief moment when the purple lizard was distracted,

Kosha's figure has jumped up again, swinging his sword to chop off the purple lizard's head.

Help it end...

The pain of losing an arm can be considered as doing a good deed.

"This is the swordsman."

Kosha flicked the blood on the sword blade, and a smile appeared on his lips.

I believe most people have the dream of being a swordsman.

Kosha is no exception. It feels so good to kill the enemy with his sword...

however,

Just when Kosha smiled, a sudden change occurred.

Boom! ~~

The sand dunes under Kousha's feet suddenly and violently shook like an earthquake.

The sand kept flowing, making Kosha unsteady on his feet.

"Oops, I got a little carried away..."

Kosha's expression suddenly changed, and memories flashed through his mind, as if he remembered something, and he slapped his forehead with some annoyance:

"I actually forgot about the living habits of the desert giant lizard,"

"They are not solitary animals like tigers, but two living together!!"

The voice has not fallen,

The huge purple claws of the beast burst out of the ground and swung directly towards Kousha.

"That's too late……"

Kousha's eyes narrowed sharply, and he wanted to avoid it but it was already too late. The ear-piercing whistling sound followed by the huge beast's claws came instantly.

Bang!

Kosha was swatted away like a fly.

After the figure flew more than ten meters away, it crashed heavily into the sand dunes.

Thick sand and dust stirred up.

That's right!

It was another desert lizard that knocked Kousha away.

This kind of creature is the overlord in the desert of Alabasta. They are huge in size and have amazing vitality. They can survive in the desert.

Usually a male and a female live together, and the one that Kosha killed just now was a male desert lizard.

The female desert lizard is usually much larger than the male, which means... the one underground is even more difficult to deal with.

Whoa!

A cloud of dust rose up from the dunes, and Kousha's figure suddenly emerged from it.

"Bah bah bah..."

Kosha spit out a few mouthfuls of air and raised his hand to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth:

"If you don't show your affection, you'll even make me eat a mouthful of sand."

"Just let me give you a ride."

After finishing speaking, Kosha raised the sword in his hand.

The situation just now was really dangerous.

If his physique hadn't been greatly enhanced through the system, one claw of the desert lizard could have rendered him incapacitated.

It is even possible to lose one's life.

"No matter what time, don't be careless..."

Kosha clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the larger purple lizard in the distance, feeling secretly alert in his heart.

"To thank you for reminding me, I will let you die a happy death."

Kosha held his sword in one hand and rushed toward the purple lizard in the distance.

He jumped up high and swung his sword.

The sword blade drew a graceful arc of death in the void.

Kosa followed suit and ended the life of the large desert lizard, helping the two lizards reunite as soon as possible.

fulfill their dreams.

Swinging the sword to revive the blood, he gently sheathed the sword.

From this battle, Kosha gained a lot and gained a deeper understanding of his own strength and physique.

The swordsmanship is also smoother than before.

He didn't waste time on the spot, and his eyes stayed on the two lizards for a moment.

Kosha lifted his steps and walked over.

So much meat cannot be wasted.

Action with bare bones is what makes a good Juba man.

Kosha dragged two large desert lizards in each hand and walked slowly towards Yuba.

Fortunately, he was strong enough, otherwise he might not have been able to drag these two behemoths.

The dull sound of being dragged resounded throughout the desert.

All the desert animals watching this scene along the way were stunned.

The overlord in the desert was dragged around so casually without any dignity.

…………

Juba

Smoke gradually rose from every house.

Children were playing and laughing.

There are many old people walking and chatting.

Everything is quiet and peaceful.

Kosa's return was not so high-profile, but handed over two huge lizards to professionals.

After making edible items, distribute them evenly.

Of course, Kosha himself also took a big chunk of it.

It’s not about eating alone, but rather having a barbecue with a few familiar companions.

Last time Nat treated him to a meal, Kosha had to reciprocate the favor.

Soon.

The yard of Farafola's house became lively.

Nat set up the stove and then went to chop wood.

Kebi carried the meat that Kosha had brought into the house, and when the firewood was lit in the iron stove, he also brought out a large number of neatly cut and marinated barbecued meats.

When the sun sets.

The evening breeze in Yuba carried curls of smoke, and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Farafola controlled the heat.

The little girl Alva squatted by the stove, obediently helping Farafola with the firewood. She swallowed her saliva and stared at the sizzling barbecue on the shelf, and kept asking Farafola what she was doing.

Because she was so close to the thick smoke, tears soon filled the corners of Alva's eyes.

Farafola drove Afaf, who was rubbing his eyes, away from him. The little girl like a porcelain doll ran to the side and sang a song loudly, a song that only belonged to Yuba.

Sun rise.

The sky lit up.

People were laughing.

A better life is coming.

Jubal was reborn.

…………

The little girl sang very happily, and for a while the whole yard was full of laughter.

When the meat was cooked, Farafola held the iron pick but did not eat it. He carefully blew it to cool it down a little and raised it to Alva's mouth.

Alva, who had been drooling next to her, only took a small bite and let Farafola eat it. The two of them pushed back and forth for a long time before they finished the small piece of meat.

"Don't shirk it, we have a lot here, feel free to eat."

Kosha interjected with a smile.

Farafola was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Thank you, Kosha, you have brought hope to Yuba... I really hope that this kind of life can continue forever."

"Yes, as long as I am in Juba."

Kosha made the promise in a calm tone, but said silently in his heart:

'The one who really needs to thank you is actually me...'

The two looked at each other and smiled, then stopped thanking each other.

Kosha, Nat, Kebi, and Farafola were eating barbecue and drinking water.

Life could not have been more pleasant in Juba.

The night was silent, with no cell phones or computers.

Except for the dots of lights in the distance, this place seems like a primitive society isolated from the rest of the world.

But Kosha showed a relaxed smile, and his heart felt peaceful.
