Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

"Orders, one squad will attack and confront the strange army head-on from the front."

"Teams two and three, go around on both sides and surround them."

The order had just been issued, but at this moment, a fine cloud of dust came from the sky and fell directly to the ground.

In an instant, a huge dust storm suddenly appeared.

The wind was howling, and the yellow sand covered the sun. It was like an angry beast sweeping over, and the dust in the sky was like a surging wave, covering the sky and the earth.

The sky and the earth were dim, and a huge wall of sand continued to advance. Wherever it passed, all living things were ruthlessly swallowed up.

Including Usopp who ran away carrying Vivi on his back.

"and many more!!"

Kosa, who witnessed everything, immediately raised his hand and gave an urgent order to stop the action.

Kosa, who grew up in the desert, is of course familiar with the formation of sandstorms.

But no matter how big a sandstorm is, it is impossible for it to form in one or two minutes, let alone a sandstorm of such a large scale.

This is definitely not something that can be formed by natural forces.

Unless someone is behind this!

After figuring this out, Kosa immediately changed his strategy, organized his men, and prepared to go in and look for Weiwei after the sandstorm subsided.

The yellow sand came and went quickly, and soon, the devastating yellow sand had stopped. However, the strange team of horses just now also disappeared strangely without a trace.

"Go in and look for someone, especially a woman. I want to see her alive or dead!"

After giving orders to the well-trained rebels behind him, Kosa took the lead and ran towards the yellow sand that had just disappeared.

Perhaps Kosha didn't expect that his search would take a whole day and a night.

The already dim torches became even dimmer in the howling night wind, but the rebels still wrapped themselves in thick clothes and searched carefully in the dark.

God helps those who work hard. After everyone’s sleepless searching, Vivi and Usopp who were buried deep in the sand pit were finally rescued successfully.

But the strange thing is that they seemed to have been drained of water from their bodies by some strange thing, and their whole bodies were in a shriveled state.

On the verge of death!

"Weiwei!!" Upon hearing the news, Kosha immediately ran hurriedly into the circle formed by his men.

Kosa bent his arms and gently picked up Vivi, then quickly took the kettle handed to him by his men and fed Vivi the clear water.

"Take them back to the camp and take good care of them!"

Kosa picked up Weiwei and said to his men, just as he was about to leave. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to his men again and said, "Remember to keep what happened tonight a secret!"

"Don't mention it to anyone."

"Yes!!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Carrying Usopp on their backs, the search team returned to the camp unnoticed under the cover of night.

In the distance, on a stretch of undulating sand dunes, Yun Yi stood quietly among a huge rock, his eyes directed towards the southeast.

That was the direction Kosa and the others left.

"The plan is already half successful. Tomorrow, it's your turn!"

He shouted to the figure behind him. Then, Yun Yi's figure disappeared into thin air, leaving only that figure standing on the sand dune.

The cold moonlight slanted down through the thin clouds.

The golden pirate hook in his left hand flashed with a chilling light under the moonlight, the black coat behind him rose and fell in the night wind, and the cigar at the corner of his mouth was still emitting a faint smoke.

As Yun Yi's figure disappeared, the man's figure also moved.

His movements were slow and strange, with his left foot and left hand, and his right foot and right shoulder moving forward.

While turning clockwise, the coordination of his head, shoulders and arms was extremely uncoordinated, and every joint seemed to be extremely stiff.

In that way, a toddler walks more naturally than he does.

After taking a few light steps, the man seemed to realize something was wrong, and then he stood quietly on the sand dune.

The bright white moonlight slanted into the silent desert, and after a moment, the figure began to move again.

But the strange thing was that he did not continue walking, but twisted his limbs at will. The joints were stiff and rough, and every movement was accompanied by a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound.

But even if he turned his arm 360 degrees, his facial expression did not change at all, his eyes were like two empty black holes, and his slightly curved mouth was like a stiff arc, half smiling, half not smiling, which made people shudder.

After a moment, after fully stretching his body joints, the figure began to move again. His arm suddenly lifted upwards, and although the movement was stiff and unnatural, like a string being pulled, the range of motion was obviously much larger.

His fingers twisted, rising and falling like waves. Then, his legs moved again like a machine, his steps were heavy and clumsy, and every step would sink deep into the desert.

But gradually, he walked faster and faster, and his steps became lighter and lighter.

The stiff head slowly turned, and the neck made a "crackling" sound. Not caring about the broken spine, the empty eyes looked around wantonly as the head turned.

As his mouth opened and closed, he seemed to be chanting an invisible spell.

As his movements became larger and larger, his speed reached its peak. His strange body turned rapidly, and his limbs waved wildly in the air.

An invisible thread slowly emerged under the dim moonlight, extending all the way to the unknown clouds.

Its movements became faster and faster, and more and more frantic, as if it had fallen into a state of madness from which it could not extricate itself. And along with its movements, a strange roar was squeezed out from its hoarse and dry throat.

The surrounding air seemed to be infected by its strange aura, becoming cold and depressing.

Unknown shadows spread wantonly in the corners, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching everything in secret.

As time passed, the weird and crazy dance of the figure gradually subsided. However, the yellow sand rose up quietly, and the sandstorms that covered the sky and the sun once again submerged the desert.

“Hello…Hello!!!”

The stiff smile curved upwards, and the cigar smoke rose again from the corner of his mouth. The yellow sand blew past, and after it dissipated again, the figure had disappeared.

Endless darkness and fear spread across the desert along with the yellow sand, but no one knew what truth was hidden behind the yellow sand.

On the other side, after the careful care of the military doctor and Kosa, the unconscious Usopp and Vivi have also woken up from their coma.

Usopp, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body, was a little absent-minded as he ate the delicious food in big mouthfuls. But Vivi, who had always remembered Yun Yi's instructions, held Crocodile's information and bounty tightly in her arms.

I don’t know how long I stayed in the military camp, but finally, Kosha’s figure appeared in front of Weiwei again.

"Kosa!"

"Stop talking Vivi. I will definitely overthrow this country. With a king like this, Alabasta has no future."

"No, I'm not advising you not to fight. I just want to tell you that there are unknown forces behind this war."

Handing the Crocodile intelligence and the bounty to Kosa, Weiwei said again: "If you have time, you'd better investigate it carefully."

Kosha revealed the information skeptically, and the origin and purpose of Baroque Studio, the dancing powder incident, the truth of the attack, and Crocodile's various abilities were all clearly displayed to him.

"Imitation fruit?"

Kosa muttered to himself, and immediately put away the information, "Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is a hero of the kingdom."

"Countless people in Alabasta have been protected by him. It is also because of him that Alabasta is rarely attacked by pirates."

"Have you really not considered the consequences of framing him like this?"

"But he really..." Vivi was about to speak, but Usopp interrupted, "Vivi! Don't worry, Luffy will defeat Crocodile and tell the truth to the residents of Alabasta."

Luffy?

Kosha's expression did not change at all, he just said to Weiwei: "Okay, seeing that you have recovered well, I feel relieved."

"I will send someone to escort you away from the battlefield in two days."

After saying that, Kosa rushed out the door and completely disappeared from the room.

"Will Kosa and the others believe it?" Weiwei clasped her hands and looked at the door worriedly.

"Don't worry, Yun Yi is not an ordinary person!" Usopp said with a smile while eating and drinking.

At the same time, Kosa, who had just left, also received a new report.

"Report! Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, greets you!!"

"Crocodale?"
