Chapter 477 What About the Drought? Solution with Water [3 in 1]

"Ah la la~ a lieutenant general's adjutant, actually wants to command me?"

Putting down the phone bug, Aokiji looked confused. He didn't expect Nurkic to contact him and assign him such a task.

For such a task assigned to him by the lieutenant general's adjutant, Aokiji thought about it, and still planned to carry it out. After all, who made this situation, and he had to bear half of the blame?

However, letting himself cooperate with Akakenu's detachment to perform tasks is beyond Aokiji's expectations, and it is also the reason why he has some conflicts in his heart at this time. After all, the relationship between him and Akakenu is really not good.

Because Aokiji is an unstable and swinging navy in the eyes of Akainu, which is a very insulting view for admirals.

No matter in terms of ability, temperament, or understanding of justice, the two of them stand opposite to each other, and the relationship is naturally difficult to get better. Of course, for the sake of justice, the two of them cooperate very well in official affairs.

However, this time, the adjutant meant to let himself go directly to meet the Red Dog's detachment, and experience not letting Red Dog know and intervene in this matter.

This is very embarrassing, meddling in other people's detachment, Qingzhi doesn't want to do this, after all, no general can accept his detachment from his control.

Just like the Zhanye detachment last year, it is said that Marshal Warring States paid tens of millions of Baileys himself, and he had to personally teach the members of the Zhanye detachment before Skyler agreed to lend the detachment.

If you know that, as a marshal, Warring States has this right, and you have to pay a lot of money to get Skyler to agree. If it were someone else, no matter how much you pay, Skyler might not be able to accept it.

As for the red dog, sometimes he is even more obnoxiously stubborn than the Mengchi family who are the best at doing things. If he knows that Aokiji dares to get involved in his detachment, he will probably start a war with Aokiji.

This is exactly what Aokiji doesn't want to face, not because he is afraid of the red dog, but because he is too lazy to get into these troubles, but... things have to be resolved.

Aokiji lay back on his chair again, pulled down the blindfold on his forehead slightly, and folded his arms around his chest, just like the way he used to take a nap.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he looked like the little girl more than ten years ago, which made Aokiji feel sleepy. After working hard for a while, Aokiji finally got up without the slightest sleepiness.

Pushing the blindfold to his forehead, he stretched his waist, then with a hook of his fingers, he raised the cloak of justice on the chair, and walked towards the office of Marshal of the Warring States Period.

"Do you want to take a vacation? In the past year and a half, you haven't had any work, have you?"

When Sengoku heard the news that Aokiji wanted to take a vacation, he seemed a little displeased, because the excuse used by Aokiji was actually the excuse of Murloc Island, which had passed for almost two years.

Aokiji looked at Sengoku, who seemed to want to settle old accounts, and said, "Marshal Sengoku, don't ask about this matter, just agree to my vacation application, and settle the score with me when you come back."

"you."

Warring States took a deep breath, reminding himself that it was enough to have Garp and Skyler, two generals who could make him have a cerebral hemorrhage at any time, and he shouldn't be angry for others.

Seeing the lazy appearance of Aokiji, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is not an example!"

After speaking, he reached out and took out the seal, and stamped it on Aokiji's leave application.

"You have another mission to go out?"

Just when Aokiji picked up the application and was about to leave, he happened to meet Akainu at the door. Akainu looked at the document in Aokiji's hand and said enviously.

Aokiji subconsciously avoided Akakenu's gaze, then shook his head and said, "No, it's just a vacation."

"oh."

Hearing that Aokiji was actually on vacation, Akakenu withdrew his envious and jealous eyes, and then he ignored Aokiji and knocked on Sengoku's office door.

Zhan Guo looked at the two generals whispering at the door of his office, sighed again, and said, "Come in? What's the matter?"

Akainu walked in excitedly, and after saluting, he put the report in his hand on Sengoku's desk and said, "Marshal Sengoku, Colonel Ace has destroyed a few more pirate groups."

What was said later, Aokiji didn't continue to listen. In the past six months, whenever Ace did something, Akainu had to come to the Sengoku Office, or talk about it at the general meeting.

Isn't it just finding a pretty good student, is there something worth showing off? Or do you really think that others have forgotten that you said fiercely that you would get rid of Roger's heir?

Aokiji left, riding his 28-bar bicycle, and three days later, he appeared on the outer waters of Alabasta.

With the slow speed he was riding a bicycle, it was hard to believe that he was able to come here in such a short period of time, and he must have concealed some unspeakable things on the way.

At this time, the Akainu detachment temporarily led by Ace also docked at the harbor of Rapeseed Flower, a port city in Alabasta.

The Akainu detachment has completed the mission and is on the way back. Although the people in the detachment don't quite understand why Ace, the adjutant, insists on replenishing here, they still obey the order.

There was no precedent for the Navy to replenish in Alabasta before. After all, Alabasta is not rich, and Rapeseed Flower, a port city, does not have many supplies.

The reason why Ace insisted on docking here was because three days ago, he received a call from Nurkic asking him to dock here and wait for General Aokiji.

Although Ace is now a subordinate of Akainu and a member of the Akainu detachment, Ace directly and unconditionally agreed to Nurkic's "request".

"Colonel Ace, the lookout found General Aokiji five miles away, do you need to greet him?"

A navy from the Akainu detachment reported to Ace, and Ace shook his head, looked at the reluctant navy, and said, "No need, Lieutenant Colonel Tabo, if it's military affairs, I think the headquarters will notify you.

I think General Aokiji just passed by by chance, or he was on a secret mission, so we don't need to bother him, can you take someone to replenish supplies? Others can also take a break. "

"Yes! Colonel Ace!"

Hearing Ace say that there is no need to meet Aokiji, Lieutenant Colonel Tubo smiled instantly. The temperament of a detachment will largely depend on the personality of the officer.

The Akainu detachment is no exception. Most of the members, in fact, show a personality that is more or less similar to Akainu, that is, they will not hide their moods, likes and dislikes at any time.

As for the attitude towards the general Aokiji, the detachment's view is very similar to that of their chief, that is, they don't like it, but if it is an official business, they will try their best to cooperate.

Tapo, the quartermaster, took the logistics team happily to supply supplies, and other detachment members also went to the city of Rapeseed Flower.

Seeing that a small bottle of turbid fresh water can be sold for three hundred pele in the street market made the navy feel unbelievable.

Alabasta is a desert city, and the navies all know it, but they were still surprised to see the price they paid for fresh water resources.

You know, in the headquarters of Marlin Vanduo, a bottle of Coke of the same size is only sold for one hundred Baileys, and it is the kind that is thoughtfully chilled for customers.

Tapo took his team members to stroll in the street market. There were no vegetables and fruits for sale here. There was a lot of meat, but it was all dried meat, not much fresh meat.

Most of the people I met in the market were sitting quietly in the shade. Even if Tabo led people past the stalls, almost no stall owner made a sound to attract customers, and he seemed a little lifeless.

"Ace, why did we come to this kind of place?"

Ace was also in the street market on the other side at this time, Yamato asked weakly, Yamato hated this hot weather, just like Aokiji would rather wear more clothes than make the office cold, they all like it low temperature.

After hearing Yamato's question, Ace also looked around and confirmed that there were no other navy except for the weak Yamato, the silent Bonnie, and Deus who was obviously suffering from heatstroke, and then said:

"Uncle Nurkic asked me to come here. He told me to wait for Admiral Aokiji, who taught us to solve the drought problem here."

"Solve the drought here? Do you want to use the legendary"

Deus suddenly came back to his senses. As a good young man who devoted himself to becoming a romantic adventure storyteller since childhood, Deus read almost all the logbooks or reference books published by legendary figures on the market, including the works of the big talker Rolando.

He has seen a lot of this method of "calling the wind and calling the rain" in the book, but the methods recorded in the book, such as opening freshwater canals and digging wells to extract groundwater, are obviously not applicable here.

But before he finished speaking, Ace shook his head and said, "No, but I don't know exactly what it is, but... look at the Santo River over there."

"Santo River? Where is the river? Isn't there a canyon there?"

Following the direction of Ace's finger, Yamato was a little puzzled, and Deus also carefully looked at the situation of the Santo River, frowned, and said, "No, the Santo River is rumored to be the widest and largest river in the world. ah."

Ace nodded and said: "That's true, but in Alabasta, except for the capital Albana, which still has precipitation, other places have been dry for a whole year.

If this continues, perhaps a large number of people will die of thirst and starvation.

So I think, Uncle Nurkic, maybe he wants us to deal with the fact that the Santo River has dried up. "

"How to deal with it?"

Bonnie, who had been frowning and silent, finally spoke out at this time. The current situation in Alabasta and the hopelessness on the faces of the people in the market reminded her of those people she met in the kingdom when she was a child.

This made her feel very bad, so bad that she didn't even have the interest to participate in the conversation. She finally got some interest after hearing this. If the fresh water problem can be solved, maybe the people of Alabasta will become happier. ?

"Let there be water at the source, won't it be solved?"

Just after Bonnie finished speaking, a lazy voice came, and the four of them looked around following the voice, and saw Aokiji riding a 28-bar, with a relaxed expression on his face.

At this time, Yamato also regained some of his spirits, not because of seeing Aokiji, but the comfortable cold air around Aokiji.

"General Aokiji!"

Ace saluted quickly, and Yamato, Bonnie, and Deus were belatedly trying to salute, but Aokiji waved his hand and said, "Get this done quickly, I don't want to have anything to do with the Akainu people .”

Hearing that Aokiji came straight to the point, Ace nodded and asked: "General Aokiji, you just said that as long as there is water at the source, it can be solved, but where should the water come from?"

"The sea is full of water."

After Aokiji finished speaking, he turned the handle of the 28th pole and kicked towards the sea. Ace and the others were a little puzzled, but they followed quickly.

Soon, a few people came to the beach, Qingzhi also got off the Erba Dagang, squatted at the pier, saw four people coming, and said: "I will only demonstrate once, and you will come by yourself in the future."

Although he was a bit puzzled, Ace nodded his head, and the others also opened their eyes wide. Aokiji looked at the four of them, wondering why Deus came here, and what could he do?

But Aokiji still didn't bother to ask. After all, it seemed that the son of the One Piece had a good relationship with that ordinary, even a little thin young man.

Standing up, Aokiji walked towards the sea step by step. He didn't stop when he reached the end of the pier, but took a step forward. Seeing that he was about to step on the air and fall into the sea, Ace instantly turned into a ball of fire, and instinctively approached Aoki Pheasant.

But in the next moment, an icicle rose above the sea and stopped at Aokiji's feet. The height was almost the same as the pier, and Aokiji didn't even need to adjust his pace.

After walking for several steps, Aokiji finally stopped, looked at Ace who was still on fire, and said, "You should save some energy first, I will need you later."

"oh oh."

Ace nodded, and quickly put away the flames. At this time, the icicles under Aokiji's feet also sank slowly, and stopped only when they were only a little higher than the sea surface.

"I really don't like this trick."

Talking to himself, Aokiji put one hand in his pocket and touched the sea with the other, bending down.

When his right hand was covered by sea water, Aokiji blinked his eyes, this feeling of weakness that kept coming up, even for him now, it was still difficult for him to adapt.

"Ice Age."

He murmured softly, and in the next instant, his body began to radiate a cold air that would freeze an ordinary person to death, especially the hands submerged in the sea, which were unimaginably cold.

And the seawater that covered his hands was quickly frozen into ice, and it continued to grow outward.

From the pier, stretching out for several nautical miles, the sea water was frozen.

"Ka~"

Pulling his hand out of the ice, Qingzhi stood up, pointed to the huge ice under his feet, and said, "There is water."

"But this is not fresh water! This is sea water!"

Yamato was a little puzzled. Hearing this, Aokiji rubbed his eyelids. The ice left on his hands made his eyes very comfortable. After rubbing for a while, he put down his hands and said:

"As long as you control the temperature and speed properly, when the sea water freezes, the salt will be precipitated."

As he spoke, Aokiji kicked the ice lightly, and a small piece of ice was kicked up and fell into Aokiji's hands. Aokiji said, "When it melts, it will be a glass of pure water, understand?"

Yamato nodded, but her eyes were still full of doubts. She still couldn't figure out why the sea water would turn into pure water after it was thawed after being frozen.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as it is true, isn't it all right?

"The next step is to transport this piece of ice to the source of this river. Of course, you can also use another method, such as turning this piece of ice into rain."

Aokiji returned to the pier from the ice at this time, Ace heard the words, looked at the huge piece of ice, and asked: "General Aokiji, how do we move this piece of ice to the source of the river? Is it too big?"

"Big? Ah la la ~ young people nowadays are too weak, right?"

Hearing that Aokiji dared to mock Ace, Yamato was a little unconvinced, and said, "Ace is not weak at all! Moreover, this piece of ice has not been moved to the source of the river, so it must have melted away?"

Aokiji looked at Yamato and said, "I heard that your fruit ability is also related to ice?"

Yamato nodded, but still stared at Aokiji, she didn't have any sense of awe, although she knew that she might not be able to beat him, but why? Do you have to lower your eyebrows if you can't beat it? !

"It seems that you haven't developed your own fruits at all."

Aokiji shook his head and said: "As long as the temperature is low enough, it is very simple to keep the ice cubes from melting for a few days, such as this one. Seven days, it will melt after seven days, or you can't do it in seven days. Transported to the destination?"

Hearing what Aokiji said, Yamato frowned, it seemed to make sense, just like iced drinks, some iced drinks melted half before drinking.

For some ice drinks, the ice cubes inside can last until the drink is finished, and there will be a lot of ice cubes left.

"Let me try it."

At this time, Bonnie stood up, ending this not so embarrassing scene. She took off the cloak of justice on her body, and Deuss took it over with great interest.

Bonnie rolled up his sleeves, and then jumped directly off the edge of the ice and swam towards the bottom of the sea.

As soon as he entered the sea, Boni felt his body was stiff, and the biting cold was constantly coming from the huge piece of ice.

Ponny in the sea clenched her fists, and her internal organs began to pump faster, which quickly relieved the feeling that her body was almost frozen. She didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly swam towards the bottom of the sea.

The green pheasant didn't just freeze the sea, the huge ice at this time was like a mountain planted into the sea.

"Bang~wow~"

When Bonnie came to the center of the iceberg and pushed the iceberg, the iceberg was lifted up a bit. The moment the sea surface was broken, there was a loud noise from the edge, and a lot of sea water flowed down from the edge of the iceberg.

As the iceberg rose, Ponny also felt more and more strenuous, which forced her to speed up the pumping of her internal organs again, and her body almost reached the limit beyond control.

But the huge iceberg was still lifted up by her.

Seeing Bonnie coming ashore step by step, even Aokiji swallowed at this time, and said, "It's an incredible physical talent, no wonder Lieutenant General Garp and Mr. Zefa are so interested in it."

Although the ground near the port was made of reefs instead of the soft sand of the beach, Bonnie's feet were still stuck in the ground.

At this time, many members of the Akaken detachment who noticed the vision also rushed here. Seeing this scene, many people grew their mouths, and even forgot to salute Aokiji.

But Bonny obviously couldn't move anymore. The iceberg was too heavy on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was almost frozen. When she came out of the sea, her clothes were wet, but the water droplets had turned into ice.

The little bit of sea water accidentally tasted by Poni felt to her that it was much saltier and bitter than any sea water she had ever remembered. It seemed to be the concentrate of sea water, which made her face a little distorted and painful.

Aokiji nodded appreciatively, why does this plan require Ace, Yamato and Bonnie to participate together? The reason is that this cannot be done directly by any one person. For example, now, Ace and Yamato cannot do what Poni does.

Perhaps because it was entrusted to Skyler too early, Bonny is not a fruit capable person in the original book. In fact, Skyler was quite surprised at first.

But thinking that in the original book, Ace only found the burning fruit after he officially went to sea, and he was relieved.

Bonnie, who didn't take the fruit, embarked on a completely different path from the original book, and her physique talent was thoroughly excavated, a physique monster no less than any strong person.

And it is her unbelievably strong physical talent that supports her physical talent. Today's Poni seems to have trained Skyler's nonsense Liuku Immortal Thieves back then.

Of course, for this iceberg, it was still too much for her.

Aokiji looked at Ace and said, "Can you master the little sun trick you used in the training ground last year?"

Ace nodded, as if he knew what Aokiji wanted to do, he cast it in an instant, and appeared in an open space hundreds of meters away, and at the same time circles of hokage appeared under his feet.

"Great Flame Ring!"

Compared with this time last year, it was much easier. Of course, it was not as scary as that time. Ace sacrificed part of his destructive power to enhance his control over the flames.

Aokiji looked at Ace who was holding the little sun, then looked at Bonnie, and said, "You can throw it as high as you can."

"eat!"

Bonnie's answer was incomprehensible. She felt that her teeth and tongue were frozen, and her speech was not as natural as usual.

In the next second, the frozen sea water droplets on Poni's body instantly melted, and the internal organs, blood, muscles, and ligaments instantly entered the most extreme state.

"drink!"

She held up the iceberg and threw it fiercely towards the sky. The huge iceberg flew into the air in an instant, and the entire Rapeseed Flower people saw something shiny in the sky.

"Emperor Yan!"

Aokiji didn't need to order, when the iceberg was about to reach the uppermost sky, Ace also pushed out the little sun in his hand. When the ice reached the uppermost sky and was about to start to fall, the little sun catching up head-on hit it directly.

"Bang! Boom boom boom~"

In an instant, the huge iceberg disintegrated, and countless ice cubes splashed, but the moment they passed through the huge fireball, they were dissolved into pure water.

"pia~"

Because it is not high enough, the water falls on the ground in groups.

"Clah la la la ~"

Not long after, a real downpour began to fall over the rapeseed flowers, and warm or cold water masses continued to fall.

Aokiji pointed to the sky with one hand, and an icicle stretched out from his finger, which extended to the top of his head and then blossomed, turning into an ice umbrella. He looked at the rapeseed flowers that showed signs of flooding in an instant, and said:

"Although it's not perfect, it's resolved."
