() "Hey! Costa!" Ace shouted loudly behind me, "How long until we get to Yuba?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Hey! Damn it, where did Luffy and the others go?" Ace complained dissatisfiedly. The thing is, maybe it was because it was too hot in the desert and everyone was not very clear-headed. It happened that a gust of wind and dust obscured us.
eyes, so when Ace and I could see the surroundings clearly, the other people had disappeared. We had no choice but to continue walking in the direction Weiwei had pointed out.
"Stop complaining. Everyone has the same destination. As long as we get to Yuba, we will naturally find them."
"Hey! Costa, can you tell me something?"
"What's up."
"You could obviously kill that Crockerdale, why did you just chop him a few times and not kill him?"
I turned my head, looked at Ace and said, "That's not my responsibility."
"Oh? Whose responsibility is that?"
"I don't know... it might be Weiwei, it might be Luffy, but it won't be me anyway."
"Have you ever thought about how to help that princess stop the rebellion? After all, such a situation would probably make you emotional?"
"……have no idea……"
"Don't you know?" Ace said in a funny voice, and then he and I trekked in the vast desert. Looking far into the distance, we couldn't see any green or any human habitation at all.
After walking for a long time, a strange-looking ship appeared in front of us. Ace and I ran to the ship, and when we were still thinking about why there was a pirate ship in the desert, a man
A woman appeared in front of us. "Who are you?" The man looked at us warily, holding a weapon in his hand, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked the woman behind him.
"Don't worry, we just got lost in the desert." I bent slightly towards the man and said gentlemanly.
"Where are you going? If it's convenient, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride." The man put down a little caution and walked up to me, the weapon in his hand never leaving his body.
"Yuba."
"Baru Barusa, the sand boat has been repaired!" Behind the man, another person greeted him.
"Got it, Saba! We'll be there soon." The man responded from behind, and then led Ace and I to the sand boat. Under Saba's command, the sand boat sailed in one direction.
"So your name is Balu Balusa? What an interesting name." Ace looked at the bearded man in front of him and smiled mischievously.
"Yes, my name is Balu Balusa, and this girl's name is Lasha." I saw me, Ace, Balu Balusa and the girl sitting together on the sand boat. Baluba
Rusa introduced himself and the girl next to him to us, and the girl nodded to us very politely. In exchange, I introduced Balu Barusa: "My name is Costa, and the guy next to me is called Ai.
Si. This ship is very strange. Is it yours?"
“This ship didn’t originally belong to me,” Balu Balusa said to me. “Originally, I was just a handyman on this ship, but then the owner of the ship left with a man and gave the ship to him.
I."
"Ha! The owner of this ship is really generous. Why would you give away such a rare ship just to give it away?" Ace played with the flames in his hands and asked Balu Balusa in a funny way, "This ship
What did the original owner of the boat do?”
"He is a prophet who deals with a crystal ball all day long." Lasha suddenly said after being silent for a long time. Baluba looked at our confused eyes and smiled: "Lasha is from a nearby oasis.
However, due to the drying up of oasis in recent years, people in her hometown have gone out to seek survival. She is the only one who remains in the village. She believes that the king of this country can bring hope again. I passed by her village a few years ago and found out
After he met her, he invited her on board the ship."
"Oh?" I turned to look at Rasha and asked her: "Why are you still willing to wait for him in an abandoned oasis when no one in this country wants to believe in the king?"
"That was when I was young," Rasha was silent for a while, and then slowly said with a look of memories on his face, "At that time, the king came to the oasis where we lived and promised us that he would not
Give up any citizen. On behalf of everyone, I presented the king with the gift of the oasis. I don’t believe that the king will give up on us, and I don’t believe that the king will ignore the citizens of this country. So when the villagers left their hometowns to seek survival,
I still stay at home, hoping to wait until the day when the king rescues us."
"What a persistent girl. Don't worry, we won't have to wait too long for that day to come." I said to Rasha appreciatively, and Ace on the side also smiled. Ace changed the subject to Baluba.
Russa said: "Actually, I am more interested in the prophet you just mentioned. Who is that prophet? Is there really anyone in this world who can predict the future?"
"Of course someone can predict the future." Balu Balusa answered Ace affirmatively, "At least that woman predicted a lot of things, and later they all became reality."
"You said... that prophet is a woman?" Ace seemed to be interested and continued to ask.
"Her name is Delina, and she is a prophet. This ship was originally hers, but then... about thirty years ago, she left with a man, and it seemed that she went to sea. She made many predictions on this ship.
Things, such as when it will rain or when there will be a storm, you can even predict when the king will give what order."
"Isn't this surprising? As long as you study climatology carefully, you can naturally understand when it will rain and when there will be storms. There are countless people like this on Daddy's ship. As for the king's order, this
It’s even more meaningless. Maybe she has some way to know the king’s order before you do?”
"Indeed, if these are not enough to explain her magic...then I think it should be able to explain Cohen's prediction."
"Huh?" I suddenly looked up at Balu Balusa and asked him, "What did she predict?"
"She once predicted Cohen's death on this ship, twice. The first time was on an island called Barory in the East China Sea, and the second time was at Lavrud, the end of the Grand Route. But I'm very strange, how can people
Maybe die twice?”
"This..." Ace rarely fell into deep thought, and he slowly recounted his speculation, "This time she was right, but this second time... how should this be explained?
"
"I don't know, but after she said those words, she also said that if Cohen doesn't die, he must be accompanied by a woman named Julian, otherwise he will die."
"Julian? This is even more nonsense. There are so many people in the world, how many have the same name? Is it possible to bring all the ladies named Julian in the world to Lavrud? Let's not talk about whether there is the manpower.
And material resources, first of all the navy will not agree." Ace shook his head, seemingly taking the prophet's words as a joke.
"Haha, these things are all in the past. Now that I think about it, instead of confusing myself, it would be better not to think about it and just be happy."
"Actually, it's not difficult to know," I held my chin and said thoughtfully, "Hasn't that woman come back yet? If she's still at sea, just find her and ask, isn't it?"
"I heard that she disappeared from the sea more than ten years ago and lived in seclusion on an island in the East China Sea. And I heard people said that she changed her name to Haas and became a doctor." Raza told us
, then stood up and walked aside.
"Haas...why does it feel a little familiar?" I thought strangely, but didn't care. Shaking my head, I asked Balu Balusa: "Why doesn't that woman come back to her country?"
Going to another place to live in seclusion?”
"I don't know... By the way, she seems to have made a prophecy."
"What prophecy?" Ace and I asked in unison, and at the end we looked at each other and smiled vaguely.
"He said that no one in the world will know the existence of Cohen or even the true history for thousands of years."
"How to explain this? As Cohen is an enemy of the whole world, how can the world forget him, and the world government will definitely constantly remind the world that Cohen was killed by the world government, right? Is it possible that someone will deliberately do so?
Change history?" Ace said funny, judging from the expression on his face, he was becoming less and less serious about the prophet.
"Who knows, but I think since she predicted it, it will definitely happen."
Next, we sat on the sand boat for a while. When the sand boat stopped, Balu Balusa said to us: "I'm sorry, we don't know if there are still people in the city of Yuba. After all, pirates are not suitable for fellow citizens."
We want to meet each other, so you should disembark at this place." Shrugging, Ace and I jumped off the sand boat and walked in the direction provided by La Sha. "What do you think about that Balu Balusa?
See?" I asked Ace on the way. Ace looked at me curiously, and then smiled: "When did you also believe in prophecies? In my opinion, the experience of being on the sand ship is just a dream. It cannot be trusted or disbelieved.
Letter." After Ace finished speaking, he walked straight forward. I shook my head in amusement and followed Ace's pace.
