The Pirate of the Void Throne

Chapter 8 Water Problems

The mission "Danger of the Storm" is completed.

Medal reward: Nervous Reflex.

A faintly golden font suddenly appeared from above Kou Sha's head.

The moment the grass grid plays the role of windproof and sand-fixing, the task is naturally completed.

[Nerve reflexes]: Your nerve reflexes are different from ordinary people, which gives you extraordinary reaction speed.

The system prompts Kosha to stop digging in the sand and stand on the spot.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the world in his eyes was suddenly different and seemed to become clearer.

Under the setting sun.

A very fast flying insect flew towards Kosha, but with quick eyes and quick hands, he reached out and pinched the poor creature with his index finger and thumb.

Kosha's eyes flickered.

He is now convinced that his body's reaction speed has undergone a qualitative change, which has undoubtedly greatly improved his talent.

Never mind the fact that he had caught flying insects so lightly before, he might not have been able to react even if the flying insects passed by.

The improvement of talent can definitely play a vital role in future growth.

As everyone knows,

One Piece is a world with extraordinary power. The most critical source of talent and strength here is blood and devil fruit.

The most typical representatives are Straw Hat Luffy and Yonko BIGMOM.

The former can go from a fledgling rookie to a super pirate comparable to the Four Emperors in just two years, while the latter can destroy a country at the age of only five. His strength is so strong that countless people will be unable to survive in their lifetime. achieve.

And both of them possess extremely rare special super-human devil fruits.

Whether it's blood or devil fruit, both of them have it, and it's natural for them to become strong.

Of course, their own efforts are also obvious to all.

But Kosa is different. He is just an extremely ordinary ordinary person. He has neither blood nor talent, nor a powerful Devil Fruit.

It is very possible that after working hard all your life, you will just be a small character who is killed instantly.

But now that the system exists, Kosha has a chance to become a strong man.

Although this possibility is extremely small.

Gently let go of your hand, and the poor pinched flying insect regained its freedom.

It flapped its wings and flew higher into the sky.

“I really hope that Juba can also regain its former prosperity.”

Kebi looked up at the flying insects in the sky, his eyes slightly focused.

"Yes."

Kosha sighed with emotion, but a smile quietly appeared on his lips.

Next to him, Kebi had been paying attention to the flying insects, but he did not see the golden font floating above his head, which meant that only he could see the system.

This saved Kosha a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The setting sun casts a beam of golden light and shines on the ground, shining golden yellow. Combined with the scene of countless Yuba civilians struggling to dig water, it is really a postcard-like scene.

Time passes gradually.

Seeing that there were no more sandstorms, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

This made everyone involuntarily feel a sense of hope that they would be able to dig out water today, and Yuba would be reborn right before their eyes.

But as the earth dug beneath me got deeper and deeper, it became darker and later.

The atmosphere gradually became more solemn.

The progress of their water digging was much smoother than any previous time, but they never found wet soil.

I thought I would be able to get water by digging to 30 meters underground, but now I have dug to 40 meters and there is still no harvest.

This most likely means that Juba has no groundwater and the city is completely dry.

The glimmer of hope that had just been raised due to the grass grid burned out in an instant...

Next second,

Someone threw the shovel aside and sat on the ground dejectedly.

He pressed his chapped lips tightly, his face was pale, and his expression was indescribably sad.

Without water, I don’t know how many people would die in the vast desert.

He himself may not be afraid of death. After all, he has already exhausted all his strength just to live. Hell is nothing but this.

But there were children and women at home, so he had to persevere.

But now all hope is lost.

"It's over, Yuba is really over..."

"There's no water anymore, there's just despair... the city is finished."

One after another, everyone stopped what they were doing and fell to the ground in despair.

Compared with physical fatigue, the mental blow seems to be more fatal.

It is really unimaginable to see such helpless despair on the expressions of men who are two meters tall and face a long-term drought, even if they only eat cactus every day but are still as determined as steel.

Ugh!

Kebi also let out a long sigh. Unlike before, he did not encourage everyone this time.

Because the place where the water source was dug this time was already the most likely place to contain groundwater in Yuba, they had done a lot of research in advance.

But the results seen now are obvious.

There is no water left in Juba, and the oasis that once was is about to die completely.

Farafola, who had been silent all this time, closed her eyes and silently thought of her nine-year-old sister.

Just living is so difficult.

Under the heavy and depressing atmosphere, the system in Kosha's mind was triggered again.

Task One [Source of Life]

Juba has fallen into a critical moment of life and death. As a leader, you need to step forward.

Conditions to be met: Find a water source and let people drink the water of Juba.

Medal Award: Strong

Task [-] [Turn a blind eye]

It is extremely difficult to accurately find the source of water in the vast desert, so turning a blind eye is the best option.

Conditions to achieve: No action or consideration is required, everything is God’s will.

Medal reward: You are a bastard, you like to fish in troubled waters when doing things.

"..."

Of course Kousha would not admit that he was a bastard, so he decisively chose mission one [Source of Life]

Looking for water in the desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But this seemingly impossible task is actually the simplest.

Is there no underground water left in Juba?

This is of course impossible.

In the original work, Kosha clearly remembers the existence of water in Yuba.

Yuba's skinny old man, who is also his father Doto, has always held on to Yuba with faith, and successfully dug out water when Luffy arrived from the sea two years later.

This also means that the downcast Juba will be restored to life.

So as long as you look for your father, you can get water and bring Juba back to life.

Looking at the group of people in front of him who had lost hope in life, Kosha suddenly said:

"There is no need for us to be so desperate. Water exists in Yuba and it will not disappear."

The sudden words were like a summer breeze, comfortable and refreshing.

Everyone looked up at Kosha at the same time.

"Really……"

“Is there really still water in Juba?”

Seeing the hope in everyone's eyes, Kosha showed a confident smile on his face:

"Believe me, I will find water, just like this wheatgrass brings hope."

Seeing Kosha mentioning wheat straw, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved and had expectations in their hearts.

It seems that in the original work, the people of Juba chose to leave Juba and become a rebel army because they did not have access to water sources for survival.

Who would be willing to leave their hometown if they could live on?
