The Pirate of the Void Throne

Juba.

desert area.

Sandstorms, digging for underground water, and people who have lost hope of survival...

Such a familiar picture, as if the animation is replaying in my mind.

Kosha stood there like a sculpture. At this moment, he finally knew where he was.

This is the Grand Line Kingdom of Alabasta.

And he was the leader of Juba, the rebel army.

"Bah, Tamad!!"

"What should we do now?"

"Keep digging, there will be underground water in Juba, don't give up!"

"It's just that there are more sandstorms this season. It's impossible for them to hit Yuba every day!"

"Yes, you are right, it will eventually pass!"

The rebels encouraged each other, gritted their teeth, picked up the shovels again, and resumed their work.

A series of clanging sounds sounded again.

Kosha raised his head and looked beyond the crowd into the distance.

That was the south of Juba, the direction from which the sandstorm came.

In the desert in that direction is the most prosperous city in Alabasta.

Rain feast.

The Feast of Rain, the city that everyone dreams of, has a very nice and beautiful name.

Because that is the city protected by the heroes of Alabasta.

Beautiful and peaceful.

Kosha took a deep breath, then raised his feet and walked towards the people who were continuing to dig underground water in the distance.

"leader!"

"Mr. Kosa!"

Wherever they passed, everyone in Yuba took the initiative to say hello to Kosha.

Staring at those respectful eyes, Kosha nodded in response.

However, Kosha's mood became inexplicably heavy.

I'm afraid they still don't know that the 'Kosa' in front of them has changed to a different person.

After a while,

Kosha walked to the place where everyone was digging for underground water and stopped.

"Mr. Kosha, you are here!"

"We also encountered a sandstorm today. We..."

Everyone put down their tools and looked at Kosha with apologetic eyes.

If groundwater could be dug, Juba would be saved. Such an important task was not completed, and everyone felt a little guilty.

"As long as everyone is fine, we can think of another solution to the water source issue."

"That's the end of today's mission. Let's all go back."

Kosha's tone was calm, and he didn't mean to blame, but instead asked him to rest.

Digging like this is just a waste of energy.

Even if there is some unusually abundant water source underground, it cannot be dug down at all.

"But……"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, obviously hesitant.

"Nothing to worry about, that's it for today!"

"Now don't let me see you digging for water again."

Kosha's voice became a little more serious and he turned around and left without giving them a chance to refute.

Seeing Kosha leaving, everyone looked at me and me, and finally slowly put away their tools and went back to rest.

………………

walk down the street.

Kosha's steps became heavier unconsciously, as if something heavy was weighing on him.

Strictly speaking, he is actually a very selfish man.

I will not be sentimental for other people's lives, nor will I make selfless sacrifices for others.

But at this moment, the depression in his heart lingered.

He cannot be as strong-willed and arrogant as a protagonist, killing tens of thousands of people at will as if playing a game with a simple mentality.

When the disaster is right in front of him, when he sees countless lives disappearing with his own eyes, he cannot be happy...

In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person who has received modern education and has his own heart.

slowly,

Kosha walked to a pile of stones and sat down quietly.

Now he really misses his boring work routine.

The time-travel life is just a beautiful fantasy, not good at all.

Everything sucks.

Kosha reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep drag.

The strong smell of nicotine filled my throat.

Kosha calmed down a lot.

The plot about Alabasta slowly emerged in my mind.

The long-term drought made it difficult for people to survive. War gradually swept across Alabasta, and a large number of people died every day...

Today's scene seems to be a very common thing.

Kosha had no way of guaranteeing that he could live steadily in Yuba, which was severely short of water.

Maybe one day, he will die in the vast desert...

But if he wanted to change the status quo, Kosha found that there seemed to be nothing he could do.

Perhaps only after a long wait in despair, waiting for the day when Straw Hat Luffy comes to Alabasta, can everything be completely solved.

This is not cowardice, but reality.

If you have a golden finger, you might be able to win a hope.

When thoughts first arise, the void creates waves.

A row of fonts with a faint golden light suddenly appeared in front of them.

The Encounter with Yuba [Sandstorm Event] system has been activated.

[There are always many choices in life. If you choose a road and go down it, you will meet the people and scenery on this road. 】

[Paying and receiving rewards are always directly proportional, and different choices will lead to different opportunities. 】

"This is……"

Kosha looked at the golden font in front of him in surprise, then reached out and rubbed his eyes carefully.

Without warning, the font disappeared.

A skill panel suddenly appeared in front of Kosha.

Just like a computer game from a previous life, there was a character on the panel in front of me, and the character was Kosa.

It contains dense information.

"Is it illusory..."

Kosha stretched out his palm and touched it, but he couldn't feel any real touch. The entire palm penetrated without any hindrance.

"As expected, is this my golden finger?"

Kosha muttered to himself and decided not to delve deeper, but instead focused on the information next to the character——

Name: Kosha

Name: Leader of the Rebel Army

Age: 18 years old

Birthplace: The Kingdom of Alabasta in the "Grand Line".

"It's all some basic information about myself." Seeing this, Kosha was not surprised.

Since the character is himself, this information is naturally not surprising.

Thinking of this, Kosha continued to look down -

Devil Fruit: none

Domineering: none

Swordsmanship: Introductory Swordsmanship

Medals of Achievement: None.

Kosha glanced at the basic information and then focused more on swordsmanship and achievement medals.

As he gazed, notes on swordsmanship emerged.

[Introductory Swordsmanship]: You are a beginner in swordsmanship. You know how to hold a sword to exert force and deal with the enemy skillfully. You will not swing the sword like a fire stick like a layman. You have barely started in this field.

The original person studied in the royal palace of Alabasta since childhood and laid a good foundation in swordsmanship.

Now Kou Shajiu occupies the magpie nest and directly inherits the inheritance.

"From this point of view, my swordsmanship level is clear at a glance."

I can understand "Haki" and "Devil Fruit", but what's this achievement medal about? "

He seemed to sense Kosha's doubts. As soon as he had the idea, the panel immediately changed.

As the word "Medal" shimmered, a new panel appeared, covering the character panel instead.

On this new panel, a dazzling array of medals were displayed, but these medals were dim, as if they had not been activated yet.

See here,

Kosha instinctively stretched out his hand, wanting to pick one out and study it carefully.

But without any surprise, his fingers passed through it, like a mirror in the water.

"It's really not that simple."

Kosha had no choice but to take his hand back, but at the same time, he also noticed the small characters engraved on the pedestal of each medal.

For example, in the bottom row, there are a few lines of small words engraved on the pedestal with a faint golden light.

Mission One [Danger of Storm]

The large amounts of dust carried by the sandstorms are swallowing up Juba every day. Maybe it won't be long before Juba will be completely covered in sand and become a desert. As the leader of Juba, you need to find a way to solve it.

Conditions to be met: Prevent the desertification of Juba

Medal Award: Nervous Reflex

Task [-] [Let nature take its course]

Not everyone is the protagonist. There will always be times when you are at a loss. As an ordinary person, you choose to be a quiet salted fish.

Conditions to be met: Lie down and live each day well.

Medal Award: Gain ten pounds

"........."

Kosha was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the two choices in front of him, the cigarette in his hand slipped and fell to the ground. The scene was funny.

He probably now understands the function of this medal.

Completing tasks and getting medal rewards is simple and crude.

but……

Putting aside the first mission for now, what the hell is this second mission?

It turns out to be two-sided.

Even if you lie flat every day, you can still get rewards.

This system is so considerate and touching...

Bah, what a scam! ?

It’s okay not to want this golden finger.

Kosha felt like he had eaten a whole lemon at once.

Why are other people's golden fingers eaten like devil fruits as candy, so that the protagonist's strength jumps directly to the Yonko?

And I am such a weakling.

Is it so easy to prevent the desertification of Juba?

How the hell can I withstand a sandstorm?

The difficulty level of this task is also too high.

And "let nature take its course" is very simple, but it will have some side effects.

So, is there any need to say which one to choose?

then……

Kosha decisively chose mission one [Danger of the Storm]

nonsense,

Juba is about to turn into a desert, so why not lie down and become a mummy?

I'm too difficult.

"Sure enough, different choices will lead to different opportunities..."

Kosha reached out to pick up the cigarette that fell on the ground and took another puff.

at sunset,

The smoke shrouded his face, making him look slightly sad.

Kou Sha couldn't sleep anyway, so he thought carefully for a long time, and then based on what he saw, he came up with the words "break the wind and fix the sand" in his mind.

As long as we can prevent sandstorms, we can prevent the desertification of Yuba.
