"Ah, the Baroque Chinese Society's ship!" Usopp shouted.
Before we could recover from the shock, the Baroque Chinese Society's boat charged at us aggressively.
"Let me…" A voice full of killing intent came from Ace.
We were dumbfounded as we watched Ace destroy the five battleships of Baroque Chinese Society with one punch. Everyone's mouth was wet, especially me. I'm a water warlock. It seems that Ace's strength has soared after I left. I haven't met a decent opponent since I came out. How can my strength become stronger? It seems that I've been left behind by Ace.
We wiped our saliva and prepared to eat as if nothing had happened. We couldn't let Ace know that we were surprised by his strength, especially me. If Ace knew that I was surprised by his strength, he would laugh me to death.
"Ace, you're so powerful. I don't think we're your match." Luffy hit the nail on the head.
“”
"Haha, that's right. I won't lose to you anymore, even though you've lost more." Ace returned to the boat and said to me, who was unhappy.
I was speechless. In fact, I wanted to knock Luffy, this big mouth, to death.
Meryl continued to move forward. After knowing that Ace and we had the same destination, Ace shamelessly boarded our ship. No matter how hard I tried to chase him away, he refused to get off and even beat me up.
Ahead is the Santora River, where we will drop off Karu, then enter the Green City of Almaru, along the interior of Arabesan across the desert to reach Chiba to convince the rebels.
After settling the Kungfu Manatees on the shore, we moved towards the Green City of Almaru. When we climbed over a small sand dune, an abandoned city appeared.
"Hey, Wei Wei, why aren't you leaving?" Luffy asked.
"This is the Green City we came to-Almaru." Vivian said dully.
"Ah!" We were shocked, which made Luffy, who wanted to eat a big meal, very sad.
" This used to be called the Green City. It's a vibrant and green city. Although it doesn't rain often, people save water. But in the past three years," Vivi slowly explained.
"I think everyone understands what the Baroque Chinese Society has done to this country and its people." Wei Wei couldn't control her emotions and sobbed.
Entering the ruins, he saw damaged houses, plants that had completely lost their vitality, and the yellow sand that filled his eyes had completely sucked away the last drop of vitality in the city.
"Dancing fans." Luffy asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's like this." Vivi told him about the origin and dangers of dancing fans.
When we walked to the canal in the city, the wind started to blow. It sounded like a human voice and began to echo in our ears. The strange sound seemed to be the last lament of the city.
"This is…This is the city of Ermaru crying, it is crying." Vivian knelt down weakly.
When the wind passed, there seemed to be a person who fell to the ground in the distance. Luffy hurriedly ran over, but he stopped before he could get close.
When we followed him, we only saw a dried skeleton. No one knew who this skeleton was when he was alive. Maybe it was a passerby, maybe it was a robber, maybe it was a person who died in despair while waiting for the hope of this country.
"Why would our country, which has suffered so much, be like this? Why would the people who have fought so hard to survive live such a miserable life? Father, what is going on?" Wei Wei's voice was like weeping blood.
There was nothing more infuriating than destroying a country or people that was full of vitality and yearning for life. However, such a scene appeared in front of us. None of us could accept it. However, the fact was right in front of us. No one said anything. How could they say it? Would the city come back to life and the country be renewed immediately after they said it? Everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
"Boom!" A tower in the distance was stomped by Luffy.
"It'll be better to let it out. Isn't that right, Little Shu?" Ace said to me.
"Yeah, our captain can't hold it in anymore. It's not just him, we're the same, aren't we?" I looked at Luffy, who had already begun to move forward, and replied.
"Forward, Chiba!"

"My dream is about to come true, isn't it, Nicole? Robin." Krogdahl said as he looked down at the crowd through the curtains.
"According to the latest news, five of our warships have been destroyed." Robin said quietly.
"Oh, really? Find out who did it and crush them."
"Yes, I am."
"My plan cannot be destroyed. Immediately gather our men to begin the final battle."
"Yes, I've already sent out the scarf runner."
"It's been hard on you."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
I walked in the desert with difficulty. The boundless sea of sand was so beautiful in my eyes. Compared to the sea, I still liked the sea.
"I'm so tired. Zoro, drag me along." I looked at Choba who was being dragged by Sauron with envy.
"Yeah, Sauron, we want one too." Luffy and Usopp were the same.
"Bastard, I said it first. Stand aside." I glared at Luffy, who was the same as me. Usopp.
"No," Sauron replied, not as if he was a trio fighting to the death for one seat.
"Cold-blooded monster."
"Inhumane!"
" Shameless!!!!!"
With the light of Sauron's blade, we relied on our own strength.
The damn desert has suppressed my strength to the lowest point. I think I can beat Usopp now. Even Choba after transforming is a little difficult for me. Water, I want water. I swear I won't take half a step into the desert unless it's necessary.
"The winner of rock-paper-scissors will carry all the luggage. Let's start." Luffy suggested.
Looking at Luffy who was dragging all his luggage, I couldn't think of anything. How could there be such an idiot? We agreed that the person who won the rock-paper-scissors game would be responsible for all the luggage, but this guy deliberately won by being slow…
"Haha, brother, you're really talented." Ace teased Luffy, ignoring Luffy's murderous gaze.
"Oh, there's a rock ahead." Usopp used his sharp eyes and sniper scope to find the rock.
"Ahhhh, that's great." Luffy, who originally thought that he would fall next, burst out with energy and quickly dragged his luggage forward.
"Wait, this scene is very familiar." I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Ah, there are so many dying birds inside. Choba, come quickly." Luffy, who had returned, shouted.
"Oh no, I remember, our luggage." I also radiated with great strength and flew forward, hoping to save some food and water.
Looking at the empty ground, those swindler birds didn't leave anything for us. I swear, if I catch you, I will turn you into specimens. But it's just a thought. Without water and reduced ability, how can I turn them into specimens?
Everyone looked at Luffy, the culprit. Their eyes were filled with the light of swords and the wind of blood, but it seemed to have no effect on this single-celled organism.
"I'll go find it," Luffy said and ran away.
