Farming in Pirate World

Alabasta, Uqiao City, once a city built on an oasis, is now a city that has been severely drought-stricken and completely defeated by wind and sand.

This is all because the stupid king, in order to ensure that some cities had enough rain, used forbidden dancing powder and shamelessly robbed the city of rain.

Except for those who were already dead, almost all the former residents of the city went to join the Alabasta rebel army, vowing to make this fatuous king pay the price for his foolish behavior.

Among the 400,000 rebels today, at least 50,000 were once young adults in this city.

But now, there is only an old mayor left in the entire city as the last defender, guarding this city that is infinitely close to death.

Mr. Martin was the captain of the oasis excavation team that once developed the city. After the city was established, he was elected as the mayor of the city. It can be said that the city grew up under his hands, just like his child.

If this city died like this, he would be the most heartbroken.

"As long as I don't die, this city won't die!"

With this belief, he still sticks to this city.

However, he couldn't hold on much longer.

Until one day, an inexplicable book fell from the sky and landed in the small courtyard of the city hall.

He used his last strength to reluctantly open the book and read it casually, feeling a little ridiculous.

The protagonist in this book continues to experience hardships and travels on the sea with a firm belief. Every time he reaches a place, he will bring light to that place.

This book is like a ridiculous novel, and the protagonist in the book is like an innocent saint who doesn't care about his own gains and losses at all.

There is a story in this book that reads, "In order to bring dawn to the world, he was willing to bear the darkness of the world, bear the misunderstanding and ridicule of the world, and promote his incompetence and ignorance, but allowed the local people to enjoy a better life.

.”

This is the plot that Bartolomeo described based on that incident after he learned about Li Ming's speech in Rogge Town.

Of course, there is a slight difference between this and the truth, and it is just a bit of artistic processing.

The story is for reference only.

However, in the eyes of Mayor Martin, who did not understand the cause of the matter, this entire collection of absurd stories had an inexplicable truth to it.

"The most absurd thing is the novel? Or this ridiculous era of pirates?"

"In an era like "The Big Pirate", would there be such a person in the world? Is this era really worthy of such a person?"

"If so, please save Ujo and save Alabasta."

This book can be said to be a novel, but is it more like a certain person? Or a certain group of people's longing for beauty in the era of great pirates, hoping that such a saint will take action to save this absurd world.

Martin, who is in distress, understands their wishes through this book? This is exactly his wish.

At this time, in the dying Martin's heart, this wish was like the last straw, which he grasped tightly.

There was nothing he could do now except pray.

"The saint who brings the dawn, if you really exist? I am willing to dedicate everything I have? Just ask you to save this city? Save this country..."

Martin lay quietly on the sand in the yard, closing his eyes and waiting for his death, holding this book tightly in his arms, as if holding the last life-saving straw.

The traces of wear and tear on the animal skin cover of the book? Just like the wrinkles on his face worn by sand and dust, they are full of the glory of time.

Pa~

Suddenly, Martin felt a cool touch on his face. This "touch" gradually flowed to one side of his face along with the dry wrinkles on his face.

His heart trembled slightly, this familiar yet unfamiliar touch was exactly what he dreamed of.

He didn't dare to open his tightly closed eyes? He was afraid that this was an illusion he had after reading the novel.

The pitiful and ridiculous delusion will completely defeat him after giving him hope.

But? Facts proved that this was not his illusion.

After the first drop of rain fell on his face, a little while passed, maybe three to five seconds, maybe three to five minutes, but in his mind, it seemed like centuries had passed.

Finally, the second drop.

The third drop.

The fourth drop.

The raindrops stepped on the beating drum of his heart. He counted the sound of the raindrops one drop at a time. Gradually, he lost count.

Big raindrops hit his dry face, and the cold rain mixed with his hot tears kept flowing down his face.

He opened his mouth unconsciously, and the rain soaked his throat and his rotten heart.

"It turns out that gods really exist in this world."

"This book fell from the sky, it turned out to be a blessing from the gods!"

"This city can be saved."

Mayor Martin slowly stood up, looking at the small patch of clouds that only covered the city hall with continuous heavy rain, and he strengthened his belief in his heart.

"This is a miracle that only God can bring!"

"This is all the grace of the God of Dawn."

Martin held the so-called "Book of Dawn" in his arms and slowly knelt down while piously thinking about the direction of the rain. But he didn't have time to pray more, so he quickly walked around the entire city, searching for all the vessels that could hold water, and placed them all.

Put it under the rain.

Nowadays, he seems to have infinite strength and can run all over the city without feeling tired.

"This must also be the grace of the God of Dawn."

In the end, the rainwater filled all the containers he could find, and even overflowed. The rainwater seeped into the ground, nourishing the dry land, and then slowly dissipated.

The land in the small courtyard of the city hall was originally the center of this urban oasis. It was an extremely rich place. After the drought, it was also the driest place.

Now, after being soaked by the rain, it looks like a huge mud puddle - enough rain has fallen here.

Of course, this mud pit is also drying up and hardening at an extremely fast speed, and water is also being absorbed by the surrounding land. This wet land circle is also constantly expanding.

Martin stored the collected rainwater together and placed the "Book of Dawn" respectfully in the center of the city hall, surrounded by layers of protection.

The sign at the city hall was also taken down, but the new one hadn't had time to be replaced.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly wrote a letter to tell his old friends who had left about the miracle that happened here.

I also want to tell those young men in the revolutionary army that there is abundant rain here!

Because during this period of time, the water in the land of the city hall had just been absorbed by the surrounding land, and the rain started to fall again.

The wonders here also attract wanderers from around the city, passing caravans, and scouts from the revolutionary army.

The number of believers continues to expand rapidly with the trend of a plague.

In Li Ming's system interface, the two skills [Good Weather] and [Guotai Minan] are exuding a faint fluorescence, and the values ​​behind the barriers are also constantly beating.

However, Li Ming had no intention of paying attention to these details at this time. He was now in front of the gate of heaven, frowning and looking at the gate in front of him.

He is completely out of money.
