Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 113 Cultivation in the Desert

Every traveler who has spent a long time in the scorching desert will find that every breath they take feels like their lungs are on fire, filled with a torturous burning sensation.

At such times, they would look ahead with longing eyes, trying to find the end of the desert.

But each time they were disappointed, because the vastness of the desert far exceeded their imagination.

"It's so hot."

On a sand dune resembling the spine of a thunder dragon, Wukong, with his tongue lolling out, listlessly moved forward.

Even though he was wearing sun-protective clothing to block out the sun, the omnipresent heat still penetrated his body, making him feel as if he had become a giant oven, and that the water and even blood in his body were about to be completely evaporated.

After walking a few more steps, he picked up the water bottle hanging around his neck, unscrewed the cap, and drank the little water left in the bottle in one gulp.

Then he turned to Nami and said longingly, "Nami, I've finished my water."

Nami, who was wrapped up tightly, was also sweating profusely as she walked through the easily shifting yellow sand. Each step she took sank half an inch into the sand, making her walk extremely difficult.

Upon hearing Wukong's voice, she turned her head, took a few breaths, and said irritably, "Water, water, water! How much water have you drunk? At this rate, you'll drink all our water by yourself!"

Goku stuck out his tongue and said pitifully, "I didn't want to drink it straight away, but I'm so thirsty, Nami."

Upon hearing this, Nami became even angrier, pointing angrily at the turtle shell on his back and saying, "Isn't that all because you were carrying that thing? I told you before not to carry it, but you wouldn't listen and said you wanted to fix it. Now you know how powerful that is!"

"I advise you to throw it away now and just find a new one later."

Walking in the desert, it's easy to sink into the sand, and this is even more likely for someone like Wukong carrying a huge load, causing them to sink even deeper.

In this situation, Wukong would consume far more energy than others, and coupled with the extremely dry and hot environment, his body would lose water even faster.

Naturally, they will feel thirsty more easily than others.

"No, no, this is spiritual practice, I can't take it away."

To Nami's surprise, Goku stubbornly shook his head, indicating that he would not throw away the turtle shell.

Looking at Goku's determined eyes, Nami sighed helplessly. This training fanatic was someone she just couldn't handle.

"Bring the pot over here!"

She said with a stern face.

Wukong quickly handed her his water bottle, looking at her expectantly.

"I'm telling you, this is the last water for the next three hours. If you drink it all before then, you won't have any more water for the next three hours!"

Nami took off a large water bottle hanging around her neck, unscrewed the cap, and poured water into Goku's water bottle while giving him a stern warning.

"Okay! I understand!" Wukong nodded like a chick pecking at rice, his eyes fixed on the pouring water.

Whether or not they actually listened is unknown.

After taking the kettle filled with water, Wukong immediately gulped down a large mouthful.

"Ah! That feels so good!"

He wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and felt full of energy again.

So he grabbed the rope on the ground, pulled Pupu along, and walked forward with renewed vigor. Before long, he passed the crowd and reached the front.

Sanji and Vivi, who had stopped because of the two, exchanged a smile with Nami and then followed.

An hour later, Wukong's stomach suddenly rumbled.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat."

He turned his head, looked at everyone, and said while clutching his emaciated stomach.

Sanji glanced at the sun, nodded, and said, "It's about time everyone ate something, rested, and replenished their energy."

Vivi looked around: "We need to find a shady place. There are a lot of rock piles in the desert. It's a good place to rest."

Upon hearing this, Nami took out her binoculars and began searching.

A short while later, she pointed to the right front with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and said, "Huh, I see what looks like a town over there?"

Because of the distance and the sandstorm, she couldn't see very clearly, only vaguely making out that there were quite a few buildings in that direction.

"A town?" Sanji and Goku were both somewhat surprised.

As for Weiwei, after a moment of surprise, she seemed to realize something and said with a complicated expression, "Yes, there is indeed a town over there. Let's go and rest for a while."

So the group headed towards that place.

After a while, Goku, Nami, and the others stopped, looking somewhat astonished at the "..." that they could now clearly see ahead.

town.

Yes, it is indeed a town, but it is an abandoned town.

The dilapidated buildings, eroded by wind and sand, were either collapsed or leaning, with most of them buried under the yellow sand, making the place look extremely desolate.

The wind howled, making a mournful sound as it passed through the town, as if the town were lamenting its plight to every traveler who arrived there.

"This is Maya."

Vivi looked at the town before her with a sorrowful expression.

"It used to be a very bustling town, but two years ago, due to severe water shortages, the local residents could no longer survive and were forced to move away."

"Two years ago? So this was Crocodile's doing too, right?" Nami's eyes flashed.

"Yes, it was this guy who caused it." A hint of anger flashed in Vivi's eyes.

In recent years, there have been many towns like Malya where local residents have been forced to relocate due to severe water shortages, and all of them are caused by Crocodile!

"What a bad guy!"

After hearing Weiwei say that many people died in the vast desert even after moving away, Wukong's expression turned serious, and he secretly vowed to give that guy a good beating later.

After finding a shady spot in the dilapidated town, everyone sat down.

Wukong leaned against the wall, sticking out his tongue to cool himself down.

"Ha~ha~it's so hot, finally there's a place that's a little cooler."

He took off the bag he was carrying, took out a rice ball that Sanji had made, and happily stuffed it into his mouth.

But after taking just one bite, he remembered something, took out another rice ball from the package, and handed it to Pupu.

"Pfft, do you want some?"

Pupu had woken up by this time. After resting on the wooden board for a long time, its physical condition was much better than before.

It sat up and gratefully accepted the rice ball.

"Wow! Wow!" (Master! You're so kind!)

Pupu was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

I have only been a disciple for a short time, yet I have already received so much help from my master.

It had no way to repay him, so it could only study hard in the future, learn great skills, defeat Master Wukong, and prove to Master Wukong that it was right to take him as a disciple!
