The Reincarnation Journey of an Minecraft Player
Chapter 78 Infinite Water and Hope
"Boss... Demon, a large island has been spotted ahead. Should we go around it?"
In this situation, Gao Ge naturally wouldn't reveal his real name, but would simply say that he should be called "Demon Man".
Even now, he still doesn't know what use his demon race is.
Gao Ge looked at the coordinate distance, which was almost zero, shook his head, and said,
"No need, I've already reached my destination. As for you..."
The pirates who were swept by Gao Ge's gaze couldn't help but tremble.
This guy's abilities are terrifying. Being killed is the fate of pirates, so they're not that afraid.
But being turned into chocolate is even scarier than death.
"You are free. This is Alabasta. Whether you record the magnetic field and head to the next island, or stay and live on this island, is up to you."
The pirates cheered, but as soon as the cheers left their mouths, they instinctively covered their mouths and watched Gao Ge's reaction.
He was terrified that he would end up like Barron in the next moment.
Gao Ge didn't pay attention. As the boat docked, he jumped onto the shore twice and began to confirm the location of the resistance army.
Too much time had passed, and he couldn't remember where the rebels' headquarters was; he only remembered that it was one of the few oases in this desert kingdom.
Alabasta was originally a very wealthy country, but everything began to change after Crocodile arrived.
Through his Baroque workshops, he used dancing powder to create a three-year drought, leaving the entire kingdom devastated by starvation.
This kingdom, with its 600,000-strong standing army, not only failed to stop the drought but also became scapegoated for it due to Crocodile's machinations.
If they really went to fight, even 600,000 people could probably exhaust Crocodile to death. But faced with hunger and drought, this country with a population of over 10 million was powerless.
"He played a winning hand terribly, but there's nothing he can do against Crocodile."
Gao Ge clicked his tongue twice.
In the Alabasta arc, Luffy's victory over Crocodile was purely a plot device. Before seeing Crocodile, I really couldn't understand how he lost to Luffy.
Keep in mind that Crocodile's bounty after the Marineford War was nearly 20 billion. Meanwhile, Luffy hadn't even mastered Haki, let alone Gear Second, back then.
In short, find living people first. Only with people can you inquire about place names and then find the resistance fighters you hope to contact.
The vast majority of this kingdom has become desert, and not only is the climate hot and dry, but the desert terrain also greatly hinders Gao Ge's progress.
Another day of wanting to improve my travel skills, another day of missing my MC horse.
Unfortunately, the people of the Demon Slayer world cannot survive in the lower realm for long periods of time, where the average temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius. Gao Ge's inherited MC ability allows him to ignore the effects of ambient temperature, but those swordsmen cannot.
Otherwise, we could send them to explore the lower realms, searching high and low; who knows how many martial arts manuals they might have already found.
"Why didn't I put the elytra in my bag back then...?"
A aimless search was not an option, so Gao Ge searched for "oases" and "cities," and on the second day after landing in Alabasta, he finally found a populated area.
"Yorba...I don't remember him much."
This is a large complex of buildings, and the overall style is somewhat similar to the desert villages in the main world that Gao Ge remembers.
Only a few people could be seen walking outdoors.
The only one showing any signs of energy was an elderly man wearing a brown linen coat. He was holding a shovel and digging vigorously into the sandpit.
Sensing someone approaching, the old man stopped what he was doing and peered out.
"You must be a traveler. Traveling in the desert is very difficult, you..."
The old man looked at Gao Ge's outfit and couldn't help but shake his head.
"You can't do this! Without your cloak, you'll lose moisture very quickly, and you'll die of thirst on the road!"
"It's a really desolate place."
Gao Ge looked around and could only see a few scattered patches of green, not a single drop of water.
In the main world, desert villages usually have one or two wells and farmland that is moistened by water.
"Joba wasn't always like this. It used to be an oasis in the desert. It's a pity... well, let's not talk about that. We're guests, so please come inside and have a seat."
The hospitable old man's name is Duoduo, which sounds more like a pet's name.
He brought food and water, just as a host would entertain a guest from afar.
"Dodo...that name sounds familiar. Now that you mention it, I feel like the name Joba also sounds familiar."
As I chatted with Duoduo, long-forgotten memories resurfaced.
Gao Ge immediately realized, "Duo Duo, isn't that the rebel leader, Kou Sha's father!"
Good grief, we didn't find the person in question, but we ran into his father first!
"Rebels?! You want to join the rebels?!"
Upon hearing Gao Ge mention it, Duo Duo's attitude changed instantly. He slammed his aged hand on the table and growled in a low voice.
"Those bastards are no longer in this city! His Majesty the King is already having such a difficult time, and those bastards are still making things worse!"
Dodo recounts the history of Joba's transformation from an oasis to its present state, as the city is frequently swept by sandstorms due to the chronic drought.
This once proud place in the desert was gradually buried by the wind and sand.
"So it's just a lack of water and grass blocks, right? It's simple. Just tell me where the resistance is, and I can get you water right now!"
Singing, my thoughts wandered.
To infiltrate the resistance and even gain a voice by becoming a high-ranking member, violence alone is useless, and neither is Vivi's token.
What he needs is to give hope to those who are called rebels but are actually refugees.
Turning Joba back into an oasis would be a great breakthrough.
"That's easy for you to say; a little water won't save Joba!"
"What if it were an infinite amount of water?"
Gao Ge smiled and said, "This country has suffered enough. The blood flowing in my veins cannot bear to see people starving to death due to drought and disaster."
Before Duoduo could reveal the revolutionary army's whereabouts, Gaoge pulled him back outside.
For years, Duoduo has been trying to dig water out of the ground.
The sandpit that Gao Ge just saw is the result of Duo Duo's digging.
"A bucket, a compartment of water, a glimmer of hope."
Duoduo noticed that the strange young man had produced an even stranger bucket, and then poured the water into the sandpit.
"Don't......"
Before he could finish speaking, he witnessed a miraculous scene.
The water did not seep directly into the sand and disappear; instead, it gushed out continuously like a square spring!
"Infinite... water?! Oh my god, am I dreaming?!"
