Recap:
"Blackbeard?"
"The pirate that sacked the Kingdom of Drum?"
"He used to be a member of Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division. My subordinate. Until he committed the greatest crime you can on a pirate ship. He murdered his nakama and fled the ship. As the Commander, I have to find him and finish him off." Ace said.
"So that's why you're after him." Usopp commented.
"The only reason I came to this country is because he was reportedly seen in Yuba." Ace continues drink his water. (A/N: Seriously people, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN HIS CUP!)
"Then, you're going to the same place we're going." Nami said.
Vivi pull out a map of her country. "Our ship just crossed onto Sandora River. First, we'll land at Erumalu. Then we'll cross inland through Arabasta to here, Yuba. Yuba is where the Rebel Leader is."
"I get it. So you're headed to Yuba, too."
"Wherever, Nami-san, Vivi-chan and Yuna-chan go ~!" Sanji body started waving with heart on his eyes.
"Quit it, Love Cook."
"What did you say, bastard …..!"
"ANYWAY. Looks like you'll be traveling with us for a little while." Nami stated.
"With you along, this'll be a cinch!" Usopp laughed.
Luffy laugh along, then held up his cup. "Let's make it a fun trip, Ace!"
"AYE!" Everyone cheered.
Yup, this is gonna be a fun trip.

Chapter three: Erumalu, the Green City and Kung Fu Dugongs
As the ship continues sailing everyone went to do their own thing. As for Luffy, he have a slightly different idea as always.
"Hiya! I am Captain Onigiri-Usopp! Oh, and who might you be?"
"I am Meshidaru-san!" Luffy said as he and Usopp playing with the foods.
Sanji, of course use his two frying pan hit both of their heads. "DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD!"
"If you guys are so bored, go wash some dishes! Jeez! Here I am trying to finish making our bento before we land up river." He yelled.
As Ace and Yuna sitting beside the table, witnessed everything they do. "Want me to help with anything?" Ace offered to Sanji.
"No, you're a guest on this ship. Just sit back and take it easy." Sanji said, continue making their bento.
"Alright."
Sanji turn his head to Luffy and Usopp, who doing the dishes. "YOU'RE WASHING THE DISHES WITH THE DIRTY RAGS!" He yelled but all Luffy and Usopp do is just stared at him.
Yuna giggles the scene. "Want me to sing a song to kill your boredom, Onii-san, Usopp?" she suggested.
Luffy grinned. "Yeah! It been long time since I heard you singing."
Yuna smiled as she closed her eyes and take a deep breath.

Yuna stopped as she opened her eyes, sawing everyone is in the galley enjoyed her song.
"That a nice voice you have, Yuna-san." Vivi commented.
Everyone agreed, clapping their hands as Yuna blushed a bit, Ace smirked. "Look like someone is embarrassed ~"
"Ace-nii!" Yuna face went red as everyone laughed.

After Vivi asked Carue to deliver her letter to her father, they have finally reached to their destination.
"We're finally here."
"We're finally gonna walk on the desert! Must be petty hot ….." Chopper said happily.
"I heard temperatures go over 50'C during day." Nami stated.
"What!? Are you serious!?"
Sanji eyes pop out when the moment he saw her wearing a robe and screamed. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, NAMI-SAN!? WHERE ARE YOUR DANCING GIRL CLOTHES!?"
Vivi walk by also wearing a robe as Sanji screamed again. "NO! NOT VIVI-CHAN, TOO! WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT!?"
"But we'll be burned by the intense desert sun if we leave our skin exposed." Vivi said.
"Ah, alas and woe …. My precious dancing girls." Sanji started rolling round and round on the ground, crying.
"Luffy-san, please wear this." Vivi given a robe to Luffy as he thanks her.
"Let's get ready to land." Zoro said.
"Alright." Usopp agreed as Sanji continue rolling around.
"Yuna, how come you're not wearing one too? If you don't, your skin will burned." Yuna looked at Nami. "I'm fine without it Nami. Don't worry about it." 'Plus, also I look uncool wearing it' Yuna thought.
Nami sighed. "Okay, don't say I didn't warn you."
"Let's get on land already!" Luffy said as Zoro about to throw off the anchor, he saw some shadow under the water. (A/N: Or ocean maybe.)
"What the hell ….?"
Some seals-turtles creature jumped out the water as the crew stared at them.
"Turtles?"
"You mean seals, right?"
"Kung Fu Dugongs!" Vivi yelled.
"You must fight and defeat me if you wish to disembark here. If you're too afraid, go dock on the other shore, you wimps. Is what he says." Chopper translated one of the Dugong said.
"I can't stand down after being called a wimp. HERE I COME!" Usopp smirked as he jumped down and charge to Dugongs.
"Wait, Usopp-san!"
Few second has passed and Usopp who on the ground, have already beaten into pulp by the Dugong.
"Kung Fu Dugongs are very strong!" Vivi warned.
"I win!" Luffy yelled as one of the Dugong was defeated.
"Look like we have a winner over here." Nami commented.
"Winning is even worse!" Vivi yelled.
The dugong which the one Luffy defeated, bowing to him.
"What the …."
The creature looked up and stared at Luffy with admiration and star appeared in his eyes.
"The code of the Kung Fu Dugong states that they must become disciples of anyone who defeats them." Vivi explained.
"Hard core martial artists." Zoro commented.
Yuna sighed. "If this continues, Onii-san will make it even more worse."
The dugong continue look at Luffy with admiration as more of them do the same.
"HE GOT EVEN MORE DISCIPLES WHILE WE WERE TALKING!" Vivi and Yuna yelled.
"YOSH! EVERYONE, FOLLOW ME! TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Luffy said as the dugongs cheered.
"NOW, DO THIS!" Luffy punch to the left then to the right as he and the dugongs continue.
Yuna face-palmed herself. 'What can I do with you, Onii-san …..'
-X-
"Yosh! We're headin' to Yuba!" Luffy said.
"Now wait just a minute …." Zoro face covered with sweats. "YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THEM ALONG!?" he yelled at Luffy with the dugongs behind him.
"You can't, Luffy!" Nami said.
"These dugongs couldn't possibly cross the desert." Vivi added.
"Vivi is right, Onii-san. It better for them not to come with us." Yuna finished.
Two of the dugong hugged Luffy legs cutely. The three female crewmembers stared at them. 'C-Cute …' Three of them thought as they blushed from the creatures' cuteness.
All three of them sweat dropped as they discussed together from the other.
"I feel as though I'm being really mean to them ….." Vivi whispered.
"So do I …" Nami and Yuna whispered back.
"What should we do?" Vivi asked quietly.
.
.
.
"That right, I have an idea!" Yuna walk over the dugongs, knee down to them. "Sorry, you guys can't come with us. But you guys can look after our ship, right?"
The dugongs think for a moment then they all cheered, Yuna smiled. "Thank, we're counting on you guys!"
-X-
Everyone have finally on the move dugongs cried as they waved good bye to the Straw Hat crew and one of them is playing a drum.
"SEE YAAA!" Luffy waved back.
"Listen, Luffy! Do you understand the situation we're in?" Nami asked.
"They said they were coming with me; why couldn't I bring them along?" Luffy asked back
"We can't go into any city with that big of a crowd! Dimwit!" Nami scolded.
"Honestly, if Yuna hadn't talked them out of it, we'd have been in real trouble!"
"Yeah, they kept saying. "We're following him!" If Yuna didn't ask them to look after our ship, they really would've too." Chopper agreed.
"Vice-captain-chwan, you're so smart ~!" Sanji compliment with hearts flying out from him. "Not like our shitty captain …." He said as a angry mark appeared on his head.
"Nothing but trouble, isn't he?"
"Seriously." Sanji agreed with Ace.
Vivi stopped, Zoro and Usopp stopped as well. The city was destroyed and buried by sand in other words: The sight look terrible.
"What's this?" Sanji asked.
"Is this Yuba?"
"No. This is Erumalu. It was once known as the Green City." Vivi answered.
"Green City?"
Vivi turn to the other. "Looking at this city, you can understand ….. just how much the Baroque Works organization has done to this country. And just how much Arabasta's people suffering."
At the moment, Yuna heard a sound of sadness through her ears. She looked around. '…. Must be my imagination.'
Everyone walks through the city as silence was in the air.
"Wow, there really is nothing here." Luffy said.
"Yes … But even though the city is now in ruins, up until its collapse, it was a lively town full of lush green plants." Vivi said.
"This place, eh?" Zoro kicked one the dry up tree.
"This region never got very much rain, but by collecting water on the rare occasions it did rain, the town was prospering on it own." Vivi continue.
"But, in past three years ….. not a single drop of rain has fallen throughout the entire Kingdom." Yuna finished as Vivi nodded.
"Three years!?"
"That long?"
Everyone stop at the moment. "But ever without rain, you still have that river we sailed upstream on." Zoro said.
"Yeah, couldn't you guys just draw water from that big river?" Usopp asked.
"The answer lie yet ahead." Zoro and Usopp confused as everyone started walking again as Vivi continues.
"Complete lack of rainfall is a catastrophe that hasn't occurred in Arabasta for thousands of years. But there was one place where there always rain. That was the capital city, Alubarna, where the royal palace is located.
The image of her people collecting rain drops as the King, Vivi father smiled at the rain appeared in her mind.
"People called it the King's Miracle. Until the day a certain incident occurred. That is the Dance Powder caused it."
"It was Dance Powder?"
"What, you've heard of it?" Luffy asked Nami.
"Yes …. It's also known as "Rain-calling Powder"."
"Rain-calling?"
"I had only heard of it myself, but … it was invented by a researcher in a Kingdom where rain never fell. The powder emits a mist-like smoke that rises up into the air and artificially creates rainfall. That is Dance Powder." Nami explained.
"Oh, I got it!" Luffy clap his fist in his hand. "You mean the Mystery Powder. I just ate some before. It tastes really bad!" he smiled.
Nami glared at him. "It's not food, you know."
Luffy confused. "So in other words, it makes rain fall" Zoro said as he and Nami ignored Luffy.
"What's up with you guys? You think I'm lying, don't you!? Hey!" Luffy yelled as the other continue ignored him.
Then Luffy went to pointing at the sand while other ignored him, he feel pat on his shoulder. He looked up, sawing her young sister, Yuna smiling. "Don't worry Onii-san, I know you're telling the truth."
Luffy slowly smile and hugged her. "I knew you the only one who can believe, Yuna."
The two smiled each other as follow the other. Nami continue explaining the effect of the Dance Powder which makes the two Kingdoms having huge war and many life was lost.
Vivi feel sad as an image of the angry people saying bad things about the King.
"WHAT THE HELL, VIVI!? YOUR DAD IS EVIL!" Luffy yelled as Sanji knock Luffy head with his foot.
"BAKA! He was set up! How could Vivi-chan father ever do such a thing, ever!?" Sanji continually knock Luffy head.
"Of course, my father had no idea what had happened. And around the same time, mass quantities of dance powder were discovered within the palace."
"So there were conspirators even in the palace." Zoro commented.
"What's this road, Vivi-chan?" Sanji asked as they standing on the road.
"This is where the canal used by the city to draw water from the Sandora River once flowed." Vivi replied as Zoro and Usopp gasped.
"Yet even this canal was mysteriously destroyed. Without the canal, the Green City was no longer able to sustain its water supply. The citizens continued to wait, desperate with hope. But the rain still refused to fall. Ever since the incident with the Dance Powder, suspicion towards the King has steadily increased every day." Vivi said.
"All according to Crocodile's plan …." Zoro added.
"Inevitably, fighting broke out. Exhausted, people migrated to other oases to avoid conflict and obtain water. The cities were abandoned." Vivi finished.
"And then ….." Luffy turn to Vivi with a sad expression on her face.
"The Green City came to ruin."
A strong wind flow by through the city as Vivi and Yuna noticed something.
"What is it?"
"Are those people?"
"Is it the Rebel Army?"
"Could it be assassins from Baroque Works!?" Usopp panicked.
"No, that's not it." Everyone turn their attention to Yuna.
The wind blow stronger and stronger "The city, Erumalu … is crying."
"It's coming!" Nami said as a small sand storm blow by, everyone covered their eyes at the same time, Luffy and Yuna slightly opened their eyes. A voice was heard within the storm as it pass by. Luffy and Yuna looked at the direction where the wind blow until the wind slowly went die.
"Man, what kind of wind was that?" Usopp said.
Luffy and Yuna turned at another direction. "There's someone lying there!" Nami said as both Luffy and Yuna ran over.
"Is someone still living in this city … !?" The two D siblings stopped as Vivi walks pass them.
The person have already turn into skull. Vivi knee down, touched it with her both hands.
"Father …. What have my father and the people of this Kingdom ever done? Destroying the lives of the people who struggled against Nature to live in this desert. Why? What right does he have to do this!? Why? He act as thought he is the hero of the people as one of the Shichibukai ….! And no one realizes that this man is deceiving this Kingdom!"
"I …! I will never forgive that man!" Vivi nearly cried as Luffy punch and destroy one of the tower while Yuna punched a huge rock neared by, making the rock cracked to half. (A/N: She using her own strength, not her power.)
"Jeez …. You guys are such kids." Zoro commented.
Ace helped Vivi buried the person skull. "Vivi! We have to keep going forward. We've been sitting here too long." Luffy said as he and Yuna started moving.
"Let's go, to Yuba."
"That's where the Rebel Army is, right?" Zoro asked.
Vivi stand up and replied. "Yes. I'll persuade the Leader to stop the uprising."
Zoro rised his eyebrow. "Persuade?"
"All the catastrophes in Arabasta have been engineered by Crocodile! I'm going to tell them the truth, and put an end to this useless bloodshed!"
"Okay." Zoro said as everyone walking again following Luffy and Yuna. Vivi looked back at the city as she followed her friends and walk through the desert.
As the wind blows by at the person grave.
