Chapter 112 Uncle Doto Who Wants To Save Juba
"Old man, don't be impulsive!"
Xin jumped down and stopped him. Although he was in control, the old man probably wouldn't be able to bear an instinctive reaction.
Only then did the old man see clearly that there were people sitting on top of the two lizards. These two beasts were mounts. He put down the shovel in his hand, lowered his head and said:
"Sorry, I've been a little bit blurry lately."
"Don't worry about it, old man!"
Luffy also jumped off the lizard and patted the old man on the back hard: "You were so brave just now! Hahaha~"
Everyone got out of the car one after another and stopped Luffy from abusing the elderly. They almost made people angry. Xin controlled the two big lizards to sleep and treated them as tonight's food.
There is one more important thing to do before eating, and that is to figure out the situation here.
Vivi stepped forward and asked: "Excuse me, I heard that there are rebels in this city..."
The old man who was kind and kind just now suddenly turned cold: "Why are you looking for the rebels..."
"Do you want to join the rebel army!?"
With that said, he waved the shovel to teach Vivi a lesson.
Zoro and Sanji hurriedly grabbed him, but it was difficult to do anything, so they had to do this.
Under the moonlight, the old man finally saw Vivi's face clearly, gradually put down the shovel in his hand, and said excitedly:
"Vivi!?"
"You're little Vivi, right!?"
"Hey, uncle, Vivi is not a princess!!"
Ignoring Luffy who was trying to conceal himself, the old man walked up to Vivi and took her hand:
"So you're still alive, that's great!"
"You haven't recognized me yet? It's not your fault. After all, I've lost a lot of weight."
After looking carefully, Vivi finally connected the old man in front of her with an elder in her memory:
"Are you...Uncle Doto?"
"That's right."
"how come..."
No wonder Vivi shed tears. Eleven years ago, Doto was assigned to develop Oasis Yuba. At that time, he was still a wealthy middle-aged uncle, completely different from the scrawny old man he is today.
After learning Vivi's identity, Old Man Duotuo also told the whole story about Yuba.
Three years ago, like most areas, precipitation in Yuba completely stopped. However, Yuba itself is an oasis and has underground water. Logically speaking, it would not be dilapidated like this.
The reason for the desertion here is sandstorms. With the erosion day after day, the sand gradually swallowed up this oasis.
The geographical location here is not good, no one will specifically transport supplies here, and the rebel base has also been moved from here to another oasis, Cattleya.
Although many citizens are disappointed with the king, Mr. Doto has always believed that the king will not take away the country's rain.
Those rebels are simply stupid in his eyes. Now that the king has lost his authority, the only one who can dissuade the rebels is Princess Vivi.
"Please!! Please stop them!!"
"Um!!!"
Vivi nodded vigorously, with tears in her eyes: "I will definitely stop the rebels!"
The place where everyone replenished supplies was the port city Rapeseed Flowers, and next to it was Cattleya. The next thing to do was to return the same way.
Because they had to travel tomorrow, the two lizards escaped the fate of being eaten. It was getting late, and everyone planned to stay here for one night and set off again tomorrow morning.
Even when they were sleeping, the Straw Hats were not honest. The boys group started a pillow fight. Sanji got into Vivi's bed and was finally kicked out by Nami.
Luffy, who is usually the noisiest, is not here. He and Xin are watching the old man digging a hole outside and squatting on the edge. Xin asks curiously:
"Old man, are you looking for water? If you need it, I can make a heavy rain here right now."
Waving the shovel, Doto smiled and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
"Why?"
"Rootless water can't save this place. You can't stay in this place forever;"
“Only by finding underground water can Juba truly come to life;”
"Watch! Yuba will not be defeated by a mere sandstorm!!"
"Yoshi, I'm here to help too!"
Luffy jumped down and jumped into the deep pit. He started digging with his bare hands without using tools, and his efficiency was many times better than that of the old man.
He just had no experience, so he just threw the dug sand away and almost buried Doto in it.
I didn't have much patience yet. Although I dug a hole that quickly surpassed Old Man Duotuo, I fell asleep in the deep hole in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the young man who wanted to help him, Doto couldn't help but laugh.
He carried Luffy back to the dormitory, covered him with a blanket, and continued his work of digging holes.
"Want something to eat, old man?"
Xin came back carrying a big toad: "Although it's not as good as the bento made by that perverted cook, it's still good for replenishing your physical strength."
Everyone had dinner once before, but now it was late at night. It was just an ordinary person, Duotuo, who kept repeating physical work, so he was definitely hungry.
The letter not only brought a giant toad, but also a bucket: "The rootless water cannot save Jubal, but it can quench his thirst."
Under the persuasion of the letter, Uncle Doto stopped working again, and the two took advantage of the darkness to have a late-night snack. Halfway through the meal, Luffy walked out of the dormitory with his eyes closed and his nose twitching.
"Eat~"
"Is this what he is?"
"...Sleepwalk, don't worry about him."
There was an extra sleeping participant at the dinner party between the two of them, and Xin had to wait for Luffy to eat, otherwise he would just grab what the old man had.
Xin also learned a lot about this country from Doto's mouth. Sand Crocodile is known as a hero in this country, and even Doto did not doubt his intentions.
The leader of the rebel army is named Kousha. He is the old man's son and Vivi's childhood sweetheart. As long as Vivi sees Kousha, she may persuade the rebel army to withdraw its troops.
He cried out for the king, cried for the suffering life of the people, and scolded the rebels from time to time, especially his son who was the leader.
The two of them talked like this until late at night, and they stopped talking until Xin received the message from Shadow Clone.
The old man did not choose to rest and continued to dig underground water. Xin carried Luffy back to the dormitory. After settling the idiot captain, he began to sort out the memories from Shadow Clone.
"Sure enough, is he knowledgeable?"
This part of the memory came from the two Shadow Clone hidden in Mr. 2. After a night and a day's journey, the senior cadres finally entered the rain feast.
They met their boss, Crocodile. Unfortunately, the two Shadow Clone failed to hear the news. Crocodile discovered them on the spot.
After revealing their true colors, the two Shadow Clone's eyes were on another woman, Miss. All Sunday.
After confirming the opponent's appearance, they tried their best to release ninjutsu and made a fuss, but were quickly captured by Crocodile.
He didn't care what kind of treatment Mr. 2 would receive. He created another Shadow Clone and then disbanded it in order to pass on the current situation to the other two Shadow Clone.
Two separate Mr.2, used to contact Miss. All Sunday's Shadow Clone.
