Chapter 128 Alabasta

The speed is very fast. Although Alabasta is far away from the Navy Headquarters, for Bruh who controls the power of space, it is only a blink of an eye.

In ten minutes we arrived at the edge of the desert kingdom.

The first time he came here, Bruch frowned.

This desert kingdom really lives up to its name, with waves rolling outside and yellow sand filling the sky inside.

It can only be said that there are so many strange scenes in the Grand Line. He has never seen a desert on an island surrounded by sea...

Standing in the desert filled with yellow sand, Bruch took out a record pointer from his arms.

This is either a palace record pointer or something similar to a compass, which only works on this small island.

After looking at the map in his hand, and then comparing it with the record pointer, Bruch's fiery red wings flashed, and the human form disappeared, leaving only a pair of shallow footprints, which gradually disappeared in the yellow sand.

Yorba, not prosperous, is a small town on the edge of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The town's population is not large, as most of the people have moved to the kingdom.

Because the crop harvest here is very small, and even due to perennial drought, water resources are scarce.

But there are still some nostalgic old people who are unwilling to move here.

"Young man, Yoba welcomes you. I wonder if you have anything to do with me, old man?"

A white scarf was wrapped around his head, and his face was wrinkled by the wind and sand. He raised his head and looked at the tall Bruch with his triangular eyes.

His back was a little lumpy, and his clothes were old linen clothes, which looked like they had not been washed for a long time. An old smell came from the old man's body into Bruch's nasal cavity.

"Old man, is this Yorba?" Bruch asked.

According to the information, Yorba was the most severely affected place, so Bruch came here as soon as possible.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder why you came to us?"

When he came out, Bruch was not wearing his vice-admiral uniform. After all, he was here to investigate. How could he investigate in navy uniform? Wherever he went, there was a little green among the thousands of flowers. It was so conspicuous that it was unnecessary.

"I am a reporter from the World Economic News. I want to come to you to investigate the drought..."

Before arriving, Bruch had already drawn up his identity. At this time, he still had a camera hanging around his neck and a water bottle hanging on his waist. He was dressed like a cowboy. Except for his somewhat inhuman height, he did look like a reporter.

The old man looked at his appearance and said:

"Reporters? There have been reporters here before to interview, but what is there to interview here? There are disasters every year, basically no harvest, coupled with the scarcity of water sources, almost all the people here have left... "

The old man kept talking for a long time, while Bruch nodded frequently and took out his notebook to record it from time to time, very much like a reporter.

"Old man, are you saying that the disaster started three years ago?" Bruch's eyes flickered.

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, there were disasters from time to time, but they were not so serious. People in Yoba can still live a normal life. Although they are poor, they have not yet reached the point of starving to death. But since three years ago, start……

I don’t know what happened here, but I can’t grow anything, and the water source is gradually drying up. Now we have dug wells below thirty meters..."

Listening to the old man's words quietly, Bruch would chime in from time to time. He was already convinced in his heart that they were inseparable.

All this must be related to Crocodile.

Before coming, Sengoku had basic information about Alabasta in his hands.

The life of all the residents of Alabasta is not very good. Year-round disasters have made the entire country miserable.

From time to time, civilians would come to the palace to complain.

As one of the twenty kings, Neferutali Kobra does not have the arrogance that the Celestial Dragons should have, and is even more friendly to the people than the kings of some small countries.

His daughter Weiwei often eats and plays in civilian homes.

Neferutali Kobra was just like a commoner. She was indistinguishable from the commoners and lived in poverty. She really didn't look like a king.

When Bruch saw this information, he felt very uneasy.

Unexpectedly, such people exist even in the world of One Piece. In Bruh's heart, such a king was very rare even in the previous life.

It would be difficult for him to do it himself. From that moment on, he respected the king of this country.

But three years ago, an uninvited guest arrived.

His arrival did not cause panic in the country, but the people could not help but reject him.

But after his many experiences of repelling bandits, the civilians gradually hailed him as a hero of Alabasta.

He is Crocodile, one of the King's Seven Martial Arts.

Defeat the bandits and help the civilians, and still be the king of the Shichibukai.

Regarding this point, don't say that Bruch knew who he was, even if he didn't know.

He didn't believe that a pirate could do this.

Now when he heard the elders of Yorba talking about the disaster, Bruch immediately thought of Crocodile.

That guy came here three years ago.

The disaster in Joba also began to intensify from that moment on.

No...not just Yorba, it can be said that the entire Alabasta began to go downhill from that moment.

Leaving Joba, Bruch walked directly towards Alabasta.

If you want to capture Crocodile, this thing without evidence is useless...

Bruch was a little annoyed.

If it weren't for the World Government's instruction, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble with the broken organization of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He could just slap the guy who played with sand to death.

Why would he need to go through so much trouble!

The World Government didn't know what had happened to them, but they formed the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

You know, the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been an organization that can compete with the Navy... the Four Emperors since its establishment.

It is directly under the World Government and is one of the three major forces in the entire ocean.

Of course, Bruch was dismissive of this.

If it weren't for the World Government's instruction, Sengoku could have flattened all the Seven Warlords of the Sea with the three admirals.

You know, except for Hawkeye who has the strength of the Four Emperors, the others are much worse, especially among them there are people like Crocodile and Moria.

These twists and turns made Bruch dislike the entire Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But Bruch was still confident in dealing with Crocodile.

If he can't find any evidence, he will turn into a black shadow and slap Lao Sha to death. Who dares to say anything more...

Thinking of this, Bruch's depression was somewhat relieved.
