Chapter 109: Let's begin!

Narohara.

This is a port city located in the desert country of Alabasta, and it is one of the few cities in Alabasta that has not been affected by drought in recent years.

Meanwhile, after resting for two hours on the nameless island, Wukong and his companions boarded the Dream Chaser and arrived here in just one hour.

"This is Alabasta. Apart from this city, the rest of the world is just desert."

Nami stood at the bow of the ship, raising her eyebrows to gaze at the country in the distance.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the port city directly in front of them, the rest of the land was desolate and covered in yellow sand.

One can't help but sigh that this country, which calls itself a desert superpower, certainly didn't choose the wrong name.

"Yes, my country has long had vast deserts. My father has been dedicated to transforming the deserts and creating oases, but the results have been mediocre."

Weiwei's expression was complicated, then her eyes flashed with resentment, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"But even under these circumstances, Crocodile, that ambitious man, actually set his sights on my country, creating a drought that would subject my already struggling people to even greater suffering! It's utterly despicable!"

Seeing her emotional state, Nami gently hugged her and said tenderly, "Don't worry, Vivi, we will all help you and help you restore this country."

Although Vivi only asked them to escort her back to the country, she did not ask them to help restore stability to the country.

But putting aside the fact that Wukong had already offered to help Weiwei, and now that they had become friends with her, it was even less likely that they would abandon her.

Thank you.

With Nami's comforting words, Vivi's emotions gradually stabilized.

She left Nami's embrace and said to everyone, "Neither I nor Run Fast can enter the city. Once we go in, we'll be recognized very quickly."

"Given our current smooth passage, Crocodile most likely doesn't know we've returned. He's probably still out there searching for us."

Weiwei clenched her fists, a determined look in her eyes.

"So I need to take advantage of this time, before he finds out I'm back, to find the rebels and tell them the truth."

"In that case, we have a much better chance of thwarting Crocodile's plot!"

Nami nodded and said, "Then Sanji and I will go into town to buy things. Goku, you stay on the ship with Vivi."

According to Vivi, the rebels were in a place called Yoba, which they would have to cross the desert to reach.

Therefore, before taking action, they need to prepare the necessary supplies for crossing the desert.

"Why should I stay on the ship? I want to go inside and take a look too."

When Nami asked him to stay on the ship, Goku was puzzled.

Nami then said irritably, "You idiot! Look at what you've done!"

She grabbed Wukong's tail from behind.

"What's wrong with the tail?" Wukong tilted his head in confusion.

"What else? Have you ever seen anyone else with a tail like you, and who looks like a child?" Nami said, arms crossed.

"Baroque Works must already know about us. Sanji and I are fine; as long as we disguise ourselves, we won't attract any attention. But your tail is a different story; it's just too conspicuous."

Wukong turned his head and glanced at his tail: "You mean it can't be discovered? How about this?"

His tail drooped down, trying to burrow between the turtle's shell and its body.

But his shell was stuck tightly to his body, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get his tail inside.

"Oh dear, don't bother. There's another reason I'm not letting you in: I need you to protect Weiwei. We're already very close to the enemy, and we might get discovered. Weiwei's safety is of paramount importance right now!"

Hearing Nami's words, Goku finally nodded: "You should have said so earlier. Then I'll stay on the ship, hehe."

More than half an hour later, Sanji and Nami returned to the ship with a lot of supplies.

"Was anything dangerous?" Vivi asked with concern.

"No, we haven't found anything unusual in the city. Crocodile definitely hasn't noticed that we're back," Nami said with a smile.

"That's good. Let's go then. There's a river over there, and Joba is on the other side. We need to moor the boat there."

Vivi breathed a slight sigh of relief and gave instructions.

Soon, they arrived at the river aboard the Dream Chaser, but instead of stopping on the side closer to Joba, they stopped on the opposite bank.

"Run fast, I'm counting on you from now on. This contains all the information I've gathered. As long as I give it to Father, he'll understand the whole story."

On the shore, Weiwei solemnly placed a letter in the shoulder bag that Paodekuai was carrying around his neck.

Then they brought out a bucket filled with water and hung it around the fast runner's neck. A straw was inserted into the bucket so that the fast runner could drink water at any time.

"Gah!!"

(Don't worry! Leave it all to me! I'll make sure the letter reaches His Majesty the King!)

Running fast, it raises one wing, full of fighting spirit.

Then, it resolutely turned around, took off, and sped off towards the capital, Arubana, leaving behind billowing dust.

After watching it disappear into the distance, Weiwei turned around and looked at Wukong and the others solemnly, saying, "Let's go. Next, we need to find the rebel army."

Meanwhile, in the underground space of the Rainy City Casino, Crocodile was puffing on a cigar, constantly exhaling smoke.

His face, which was always gloomy, had become even more so in the past few days, as if he were radiating a terrifying sense of oppression. If an ordinary person saw him, they would probably tremble with fear from ten meters away.

He couldn't understand why Princess Vivi hadn't been found after all these days.

He had deployed personnel to various islands along the route, so that he would be able to make a discovery as soon as the enemy appeared.

But so far, not only have they not seen the person, but they haven't even found a trace of them.

It was as if the person had vanished into thin air.

He pinched his brow, a rare hint of annoyance flashing through his mind.

He, who had always been a master strategist and had everything under his control, found it very unpleasant to discover for the first time that the pieces had slipped out of his grasp.

He sat there alone, deep in thought for a long time, and felt that things couldn't continue like this. He had to regain control and get things back on track.

So he called Robin over and asked, "How many rebels are there now?"

Robin leaned against the wall and said softly, "Up to three days ago, the estimated number was approximately 380,000."

"Three hundred and eighty thousand? And they're all poorly equipped. They'll have little chance against six hundred thousand well-equipped King's Army soldiers." Crocodile tapped his fingers on the table.

"We must speed things up now. We can't wait for them to slowly accumulate strength. I want the rebel army to grow rapidly to a point where it can rival, or even surpass, the King's army."

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"This way, my plan can begin ahead of schedule."

"So what do you want to do?" Robin asked softly.

"Call all the chief commanders back. I'm going to ignite the rage of this nation and take it over in one fell swoop!"
