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

At the same time, Luffy, who was divided into two groups, was now riding on a giant land crab, rampaging in the desert.

"Please, run faster!" Chopper, who was sitting on the land crab, looked back anxiously, and then pleaded with the land crab again.

However, the crab's feet were almost rubbed to pieces in the desert, but it still couldn't get rid of the "dog-skin plaster" behind it!

"Wow, he runs so fast!"

"That's amazing, Zoro, look, his legs have turned to sand."

Sitting on the crab's back, Luffy crossed his legs and laughed happily, not looking like he was being chased at all.

"Can you be quiet!!"

"We are being hunted now! We are being hunted!!"

Nami looked devastated. How could someone be so cheerful while being hunted?

Back to a few days ago...

"Luffy!!!!"

"Our luggage has been stolen. How are you going to let us survive? That's three days' worth of supplies!"

Since the troops were split into two groups and Usopp's space backpack was lost, they had to carry lunch boxes and supplies on their own.

And Luffy actually took the initiative to suggest a game of rock-paper-scissors, and whoever wins gets to carry the luggage.

There is no doubt that Luffy, this brainless fun-loving guy, will definitely dig his own grave. Knowing the rule that the winner gets to move, this guy actually deliberately played slowly to win the game.

Naturally, it was no surprise that Luffy was the only one who carried the luggage.

But as we all know, when there is no danger, Luffy is the biggest danger.

So, their luggage was tricked away by a group of big birds.

"Who knew a flock of birds could be so deceiving."

Luffy squatted aside guiltily, not daring to look at Nami's murderous eyes.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do." Things had come to this point and there was no point in teaching Luffy a lesson. Sanji took out a cigarette from somewhere, lit it, and continued.

"It's not too far from the rainy land. There should be many magical animals in the desert."

"If we find them, we can get out of the desert alive."

"Meat!!!" When it comes to food, Luffy stopped squatting and immediately jumped up, looking around, "Hey, Sanji, you lied to me!"

"Where is the meat here?!"

"Fool!!"

Seeing this guy being so unreasonable, Sanji became furious and kicked him into the desert.

"Did you listen to me?!"

"I'm sorry!!" Luffy said dully with half of his body buried in the sand in the desert.

Now that their luggage is gone, Luffy and the others can only take things one step at a time.

But unfortunately, because the temperature of the desert was too high during the day, Chopper, who had lost his water supply, naturally collapsed in the desert because of the thick fur on his body.

"Hey, Chopper, don't die!!"

"Chopper!!!"

Lying beside Chopper who had fainted on the ground, Luffy's face was full of concern, but the saliva at the corner of his mouth made Chopper feel scared.

Sanji, you said Chopper is so skinny, does he not have much meat? "

"But if it's venison, would it be delicious on the barbecue?"

After crying for a while, Luffy looked at Chopper's fur curiously.

"asshole!"

"I'm not dead yet!"

When he heard that venison was going to be grilled, Chopper woke up instantly, and then suddenly transformed into a huge humanoid monster and slapped Luffy hard.

“I didn’t say I wanted to eat…”

In the desert, Luffy, who was once again stuck in the sand because of his wrong words, said dully.

After defeating Luffy, Chopper once again turned back to his previous appearance and fell into a coma. Before he fell into a coma, Chopper even said:

"I really got on the wrong boat!"

"Stop playing!" Nami stopped them at the critical moment. "The most urgent thing now is to find a water source. We haven't replenished water for a long time."

After driving for a long time, even with the camel purchased by Yun Yi, Nami still felt dry in the mouth, not to mention Luffy and the others who were playing around all the time.

At this moment, Zoro looked at the huge cactus in front of him thoughtfully.

"I heard that cactus is one of the few plants that can grow in the desert. I wonder if eating it can provide water?"

"Let me try!" Luffy jumped up from the sand, looked around, then randomly picked a cactus and took a bite of half of it.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Luffy whimpered a few times, but still swallowed them with his neck stiff.

"I don't think anything is wrong." Luffy, who was very active, finished eating the cactus. After a while, he suddenly pointed at Zoro and said in surprise: "Crocodile!!"

Zoro:? ? ?

"It's really you. I didn't expect you to come here on your own!"

"I'm going to beat you!"

Before Zoro could speak, fists as dense as raindrops came flying at him.

"This guy!" Zoro, knowing that Luffy was unreliable, was prepared. He then pushed off the ground and quickly left the spot.

He subconsciously pulled out the Wado Ichimonji in his hand, but as his thoughts raced, Zoro put the sword back.

"Hey, Chopper, what happened to Luffy? Was it the cactus just now?"

While dodging, Zoro did not forget to ask Chopper the reason, but the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and Chopper could hardly protect himself, so how could he have the ability to save Luffy.

Fortunately, Sanji was helpful enough to find a medicine bottle with the words "refreshing and sobering effect" written on it from the backpack behind Chopper.

"Hey! Green algae head, give him the whole thing to try?"

Throwing the purple bottle in his hand, Zoro quickly did a somersault to catch the bottle.

Of course, while catching the bottle, Zoro did not forget to say back, "Don't call me Green Algae Head!!!"

Zoro used rubber fist techniques to fight with great force. Even with Sanji interfering from the side, it was still difficult for him to feed the medicine into Luffy's mouth.

But at this moment, a huge crab claw suddenly emerged from the ground.

Dust rose up, and in the blink of an eye, a giant scorpion crawled out from the ground, roaring at Luffy and the others with its fangs and claws.

"Meat!!"

Seeing the ferocious scorpion in front of him, there was no fear on Luffy's face. Instead, he ran towards the scorpion with his fists raised in great interest.

As for Zoro just now, he has already been forgotten by the hungry Luffy.

"This guy!"

Looking at Luffy who was fighting fiercely with the scorpion, Zoro bared his teeth and cursed, then took the medicine bottle in his hand and approached Luffy carefully again.

Hard work pays off. With the scorpion attracting him, Luffy didn't pay any attention to Zoro's movements and was eventually knocked to the ground by him.

"It's finally over. Hey, naughty chef, take care of this guy!" Although Scorpion was beaten badly, he was not dead yet.

"You don't have to tell me!" After retorting, Sanji immediately raised his leg and kicked towards the giant scorpion.

“Shoulder!!”

……

"Hahahaha, it's so delicious!" Luffy, who woke up from his coma, leaned against the fire and ate the barbecue in big mouthfuls.

As the sun was setting, Chopper gradually recovered.

The thick fur finally came in handy in this desert. At night, everyone hugged Chopper and had a good sleep.

Chopper just felt a little uncomfortable. Why did he always feel like someone was biting his leg in his dream?

While having fun, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Crocodile's base - Rainland!

Of course, it’s not just Luffy and the others who came here, there’s also Navy Captain Smoker and his deputy Tashigi.

"Colonel, why don't you agree to let Colonel Kuina come along?"

"No, the war in the capital is imminent, and we must leave enough forces to ensure the safety of the naval base."

His eyes were fixed on the oasis ahead, with its lush trees and bustling pedestrians. Compared to other places in Alabasta, it was like heaven.

Smoker said this, but a trace of unwillingness flashed through his heart.

Once upon a time, he was the strongest among the younger generation of the Marine Headquarters, but now, Kuina's power is much stronger than his.

Although he didn't care about such false reputation, he still felt a little dissatisfied.

That's why he applied to go to the rainy land and capture Crocodile as soon as possible.

"Report, we have found the trace of Straw Hat Luffy!" A navy man saluted and reported!
