"Rubber mallet!"

"tornado!"

"Shoulder meat!"

Luffy, Zoro and Sanji went up together, and the purple-skinned lizard was killed by them, but another big lizard appeared behind Ace.

"I forgot to mention that these large desert lizards usually hunt in pairs." Vivi added, and Usopp and Nami roared: "Tell me earlier!"

"It's really troublesome." Ace muttered and stood up. I cheered for him: "Come on, Ace!"

Ace jumped up and was swallowed into the lizard's mouth. Immediately, the lizard's mouth and then its body burned, but it was roasted to brown in just two or three minutes, a ripe color, and the air was still filled with the smell of meat.

The two big lizards were just enough for us to have a full meal with a little left over. Nami named the camel that Luffy rode called eyelashes. The camel has a camel saddle and looks like it can seat two people. I let Nami and Wei Wei went up and sat down.

Nami and Weiwei rode their camels in front and walked very fast. I followed Ace with my head buried in the air, feeling so hot that my eyes were filled with mosquito-repellent incense.

I was thinking about whether to let the water elves make it rain, but there were only five water elves left. They might be used during the next trip. I couldn't draw them while I was in a hurry. It was too confusing.

"How about following Nami and the others...Nani?!"

Ace's sudden change in tone made me raise my head. The sky was filled with yellow sand all around, and there were no other figures of my companions anywhere. It was only Ace and me.

"Did you hear anything?" I glanced around, and suddenly there was the sound of sand collapsing behind me, and I turned back.

"Big scorpion!"

Ace protected me behind him, "Fire Fist!"

The scorpion ended up with the same fate as the lizard. It looked great when roasted and turned red, and it should be delicious, but we were in a hurry and let it go.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, we came to a small town where people still lived.

"Ace, what are you doing?"

Ace climbed over to a private house, and I quickly climbed over the window and whispered: "Ace, it's not good to just break into other people's houses like this - wait, is it really okay for you to eat other people's food like this? !”

Ace smiled: "Just pay later. It tastes pretty good. Don't you want to eat it?"

I just watched Ace in silence as he ate meat, and sat helplessly across from him. At this time, a voice came from the next room: "Oh, it's really all the fault of the rebels."

Ace and I looked at each other. Ace was eating more lightly. He heard someone say from next door: "Thanks to Lord Camus coming to this small village, no one will attack our village."

"The person who wants to challenge us in a duel is really out of his depth." Another male voice said, "Village chief, just leave it to us."

"I think so too, but the rebels will fight against the king soon. Will it cause trouble for you if we stay like this?" The village chief said worriedly, and then another voice he had never heard before said: "No, Who would leave this place where there is so much to eat..." But he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"These are two different things. Although we are rebels, we have not completely given up on the king." The male voice said with a smile, and the village chief responded: "Yes, we also completely believe in the king, so I hope you can act cautiously." .”

"Leave it to me, leave it to me. We will think carefully and protect you." The man said wildly, "But in exchange, the wine and food will be left to you."

"Yes, I understand. Then I'll take my leave first." The village chief said, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

When the village chief walked away, the male voice who had not finished speaking asked: "Brother Camus, you won't become a real rebel if you give up on the king, right?"

"How is it possible? I won't leave this village until I drain the oil and water here." His voice sounded happy.

"Brother, okay, brother! The sand thieves are going to attack the village!" Another voice said in a panic, as if it had been running for a long time.

"Yo Xi, just run away with your tail between your legs." The man's voice sounded confident.

"But what to do after escaping? Do we have to live a life where there is no meal but no meal?" As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately retorted: "You can leave green hills without fear of running out of firewood. There are many villages like this." Alright, let’s go now.”

He walked to our room.

Ace chewed food in his mouth and said incoherently: "How dare you cowards pretend to be rebels? Why are the things that four grown men do so useless?"

"Who are you bastard! How did you sneak in!"

"You thief!"

Ace's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pushed the three men into the wall with a few clicks. The leader knelt down and kowtowed: "I'm sorry, it's just that we have blind eyes and cannot see Taishan. As you can see, we alone can't do anything at all." We are no match for the Sand Thief, so please give us a helping hand."

"It's not that I can't help you." Ace muttered, "But I have a condition, give us water and food."

……

Ace and I were walking in front, and Ace was pulling a cart of food and water. We were about to deal with the sand pirates, but we bumped into Luffy head-on.

"What? It turns out that the sand thief refers to you." Ace's tone was slightly disappointed, and Luffy didn't know why: "Ah? The sand thief just said goodbye to them."

"Really? Forget it. Compared to this, be happy Luffy, I brought a lot of water and food."

Sanji's eyes lit up when he looked at the ingredients, "This is really a big help. It seems that you don't have to worry about food during this time."

Usopp also said: "Ace, you are so powerful." Nami got off the camel, "It's just that you are different from a certain brother."

Weiwei also got off the camel, "Um, Essan, you probably don't have the money to exchange for these things. Could they be stolen from that village?"

"How could it be? This was given to us by the rebels." I explained. Weiwei was shocked as if she had been electrocuted, "The rebels?!"

Ace nodded: "Well, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a fake."

“What does fake mean?”

"In other words, they acted as bodyguards in the village under the banner of the rebel army. Although the villagers were grateful to be deceived, they were actually just a bunch of gangsters."

"Can that kind of person be a bodyguard? He should be exposed soon." Nami asked, and Ace spread his hands: "As long as ordinary pirates bear the name of the rebels, they will escape without a fight. It's really convenient."

"Food and fame will automatically roll into your belly."

Weiwei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "The rebels are neither gangsters nor a symbol of honor."

Sanji blew out a smoke ring and said, "Vivian-chan, do you want us to teach those guys a lesson?"

"Well, they actually took the villagers for granted. The fake rebels are no different from thieves." Ace still said with a smile, "But at least the villagers are living in peace because of their existence."

"Do you want to go too?"
