New chapter.

I will then post a chapter of '' Mugiwara VS Zombies '', and then a chapter of '' Nazarick Ga Kill "

Battling a sandstorm, the group of pirates finally saw the outlines of the first houses, as they finally arrived in Yuba.

"Finally! I have never been so happy to see houses. " Johnny asserted.

"All our efforts were not in vain." Yosaku cried, while crying. "Guys, we can be proud of ourselves."

"Yuba." Vivi rejoices.

And, despite the sandstorm, the crew saw an object shining in the distance.

" What's this ? " Sanji wanted to know, narrowing his eyes.

" No idea. " Admitted Usopp, readjusting the vision of his glasses. " But it seems to be moving ! There is someone here. "

" Yosh! Forward. " Luffy cried.

But, as the pirates got closer to Yuba, they noticed something rather strange.

" There is no noise. " Zoro remarked.

" Huh ? " Menma wondered.

" Take your revolver and shoot in the air. "

" What ? "

" Do what I tell you. "

Obeying, Menma drew her revolver and pointed it skyward, before firing twice, startling the rest of the pirates.

" Menma ? " Nami wondered. " What's the matter with you ? "

" It's Zoro Onii-san who asked me. "

Remaining silent, Zoro had his eyes closed and seemed to be concentrating. Yet even trying to strain his ears, he didn't hear a single voice or a sound of footsteps.

" There is nobody. "

" Sorry ? " Neni wondered.

'' Are there really hundreds of thousands of people here ? " Loke wondered. "If that was the case, the revolutionaries would have come to us by now, hearing Menma's pistol! But since this is not the case… "

" There is no one here. " Several people understood.

" Im… Impossible. " Vivi cried.

Suddenly leaving Matsuge's back, the young princess rushed towards the city. Running behind her, her companions eventually saw her enter Yuba town, before finally falling to her knees.

" It's a nightmare. "

Looking around, the pirates saw nothing but sand and desolation. The trees were dry and most of them already lying on the ground. The houses, long abandoned, were being covered by the sand dunes. And, of course, it was impossible to find a drop of water here.

" I have the impression of having already seen this city. " Chopper asserted.

" She is no different from Elmar. " Raynare asserted. " She is dying and disappears under the sand. "

Walking towards a house door, Gin knocked and saw the door fall backwards, before shattering into pieces, due to the wood being completely dry.

" Yuba was supposed to be an oasis too, Vivi ? " Lucy questioned, looking around. " Everything seems to me to be dead. "

" The sand dominated everything. " Understood the princess.

" So, the revolutionary army is gone. " Understood Bruno. " It was impossible for them to replenish water and food so many people, not to mention the fact that it would take, at least, five days of travel, by wagon to come here. "

" Is ... Is this a joke ? " Neni asked. " We… We didn't do it all for nothing, did we? Where is the revolutionary army ? "

Nobody could give him an answer.

" Where is the revolutionary army ? " He repeated.

Receiving no response, he fell to his knees, quickly starting to hit the ground.

" Damn it ! Damn it ! Damn it ! Damn it ! Why even when I want to do a good deed, God makes my life rotten ? Why ? "

" Neni-san ? " Vivi wondered, seeing him start to sob.

" Why can't I save the land from Princess Wednesday ? "

Suddenly wiggling its ears, Eevee lifted its head.

" Eevee. "

'' What's wrong with you ? " Raynare questioned it.

Leaving her shoulder, the pokemon ends up running away.

" Eevee. "

" Hey, where are you going ? " Asked the fallen angel.

" It may have heard a noise. " Luffy remarked.

" Stop saying '' it ''! It's a female. "

" How do you know ? " Zoro asked her.

" When you adopt a dog, its gender is the first thing to know, stupid gorilla. " Declared the fallen angel.

" Children, stop your quarrels and follow this fox. " Cried Gin.

" SHUT UP ! "

Digging in the sand, an old man was putting his arm across his forehead to wipe away the sweat. Getting ready to resume his activity, the man stopped, hearing footsteps. Looking up, he saw a very strange animal staring at him.

" Eevee. "

" Hum? You got lost ? "

However, hearing other footsteps, the old man then noticed the arrival of ten people. Looking at them first for a few seconds, the man resumed digging in the sand.

" You are travelers, aren't you ? Sorry for the lack of hospitality in our city! I would like to offer you something to eat and drink, but… it's impossible! But if you want, you can rest here as much as you want ! There is no lack of space here. "

Seeing the man's arms shake, as the digging seemed to exhaust him, Ace asked.

" Old man ! Don't you want us to offer you something to eat and drink ? "

" Out of the question. " Retorted the old man. " Ever since I arrived here, I have always vowed to drink only this city's water and eat my crops. "

Seeing nobody with the old man, Lucy wanted to know.

" Where is the revolutionary army? Wasn't it in Yuba that they decided to meet ? "

Stopping digging, the old man turned to the pirates, before roaring.

" What do you want with the rebel army ? "

Pointing his shovel at the group, he screamed.

" It's out of the question that I let you enroll in the group of these imbeciles. "

" Calm, old man. " Sanji advised him. " We just want to talk to them ! Nothing more . "

Staring at him silently, the old man turned and resumed digging.

" These idiots ended up leaving town. "

Although everyone expected this answer, the phrase the old man said demoralized everyone's morale.

'' We ... We walked for ten days for nothing ? " Yosaku cried.

" Hold on ! Maybe not. " Johnny retorted. " If so, the army has headed for the nearest village from here ! Sir, where has it moved ? "

"They moved because of the many sandstorms that are the cause of the drought in this city. " Announced the old man. " This discouraged all these men, ready to fight against the royal troops ! The rebel army has therefore decided to set up its headquarters in Katorea. "

" What ? " Vivi wondered. " Katorea ? "

Having learned the complete geography of Alabasta, Bruno couldn't help but be shocked.

" Is ... Is this a joke ? "

" Where is that ? " Nami asked her.

" At two hours on horseback from Nanohana. " Vivi told her.

" WHAT? Does that mean that we could have met the revolutionary army on the day we arrived here ? "

" That's where I met Matsuge. " Chopper remembered

Hearing its name, the camel suddenly began to "talk" with the reindeer.

" What is he saying ? " Usopp asked him.

" He was responsible for supplying the rebels in Katorea. "

Immediately, apart from Zoro, Bruno and Ace, all the men in the group began to hit the camel.

" Stupid camel. "

" Couldn't you have said it earlier ? "

" Why didn't you say anything ? "

Resuming to speak, the camel said.

" You didn't ask me for anything. "

" ZIP ! "

In an instant the animal's head was separated from the rest of its body and fell to the ground. Still alive, Matsuge began to scream in fear, as Bruno walked towards him.

" You little… The lives of a million people are on the line and is that your only excuse ? "

" Bru… Bruno ! Calm yourself. " Nami implored him.

" Why ? " The man asked her. " That idiot camel… if it turns out war is going to take place because of it. "

" We can't help it ! In the meantime, Matsuge will be more useful to us alive than dead. "

Matsuge cried out again.

" He says he will help us stop this war if you spare him. " Translated Chopper.

" Tsss. " Bruno said, kicking the camel's head.

Soaring through the air, the head eventually lands on the neck of the camel's body. Seeing this, the man cried out.

" Close the closure if you want it to disappear. "

" Princess Wednesday, what are we doing ? " Neni asked her. " We can't stay here. "

" What do you want us to do ? " Yosaku retorted. " Katorea is ten days away and the war is likely to start at any moment. "

" It is therefore necessary to leave immediately. " Johnny announced. " Don't you agree, sister-Vivi ? "

" Huh ... I ... "

" Princess ? Vivi ? "

Letting go of his shovel, the old man turned to the blue haired woman and began to stare at her. Finally, taking a step towards her, he asked.

" Princess Vivi ? "

" No, old man. " Cried Luffy. " Vivi, it's not the princess. "

" Shut up, moron. " Sanji and Loke roared, hitting him on the head.

" Are you really little Vivi ? The little girl who played with my son ? "

" Your ... Your son ? "

Putting his hands on the princess's shoulders, the man began to cry.

" You are alive! Thanks my God ! "

Then seeing incomprehension on Vivi's face, the man asked her.

" You don't recognize me ? I am Toto. "

" To… Toto? Wait, are you ... ? "

" Yes, I am Koza's father. " The man said with a broad smile.

'' Koza's father ? " Lucy wondered. " The father of the leader of the rebel army ? Why are you still there and not with your son ? "

" I'm not like my stupid son. " Retorted the man. " Compared to him, I kept faith in our king! I know this is not the kind of person who would betray his country ! And I also know that he was and has remained an admirable man. "

Starting to cry, Toto asserted.

" Despite the misfortunes that befell Alabasta over the past three years, I have confidence in Nefertari Cobra. "

Then falling to his knees, the man began to implore the group in front of him.

" Please, I beg you ! Save my son and this country. "

Seeing the man start to cry like this, Bruno felt a certain surge of anger in him. Yet his mouth was closed as someone mumbled "Crocodile".

Turning around he saw Luffy, with a clenched fist. He was no longer the man who spent his days eating and sleeping. For the first time in a long time, Luffy wore a serious look that betrayed how critical was the situation.

"Beds…" Usopp cried, as if it was the first time he had seen one.

Starting to cry, he lay down on one of them, before asserting.

"Great ! We will finally be able to rest."

However, being hit by a pillow, he was dragged out of his bed, while Zoro roared.

"You only rested during the whole trip, while I carried you on my shoulder."

"Shut up ! And then, it was Chopper, Menma and the strange fox who rested during the whole trip."

"Hey, I hate the heat." Roared the reindeer.

" I am the smallest. " Menma adds.

" Eevee ! "

Wanting to go to bed, Vivi suddenly saw Sanji lying on her bed.

" Sanji-san… it's my bed. "

" I know ! I thought that a little company, tonight, could reassure you. "

Immediately, a pillow hit his face.

" Stay away from her, pervert. " Cried Neni.

" You are dead. " Sanji roared, throwing a pillow at him, which Neni ducked as it ducked.

Continuing on it way, the pillow went to Loke's head who was doing his usual flirting act with Lucy. Feeling the object touch him, Loke turned back to Sanji, with veins in his forehead.

" I'm sure you did it on purpose, motherfucker. "

Another pillow crashed into his face.

" Are you going to shut up ? " Yosaku roared. " There are some who would like to sleep. "

" You make as much noise as them. " Johnny cried.

A few seconds later, a pillow fight began inside the house. But, yet, for once, Luffy was not present.

Standing at the edge of the hole the old man was digging, along with Ace, the captain noticed.

" Old man, there is still no water coming out! Are you really sure I could drink something ? "

" Yes, I assure you. " Toto affirmed. " And you will see ! Yuba water is the best in all of Alabasta. "

" Oh ? " Ace wondered. " Is that why you are staying here ? The climate looks really harsh to me. "

" It is rude, but it will not be it indefinitely. " Assured Toto. " There will be water ! Lots of water ! Yuba Oasis is not dead, believe me ! It is out of the question for me to be defeated by the sand! After all, Yuba was given to me by the king. "

Nodding, Ace asserted.

" It's very admirable of you. "

Then, thinking he had to ask this question, he asked.

" Recently, have you met a group of travelers ? "

" Huh ? "

" Have you met a man named Teach ? "

"Teach ?" Toto wondered. " No! The only people I met recently were a group of five pirates ! Their leader was called Blackbeard."

Frowning, Ace asked.

"A man quite tall, quite obese and with a big black beard ? "

" Yes! That's it ! At first I thought he wanted to hurt me but in the end he just wanted to know where was Rainbase. "

" Rainbase ? " Luffy repeated.

" It is a city where there is still a lot of water ! As well as a large casino built in honor of Crocodile ! Besides, I think he lives there. "

" Crocodile ? " Ace repeated.

Immediately thinking, the man tried to figure out what Teach wanted to do with a shichibukai. To kill him ? An alliance ? Bring him a message? Rubbing his head, Ace could only speculate.

" Damn it ! If Teach is in Alabasta, it is for a reason ! I should have known he had come for Crocodile. "

" So, is he an enemy or an ally ? " Wanted to know Luffy.

" No matter if he kills Crocodile or not, Teach will remain my enemy ! Hope you can understand this, Luffy. "

" No problem. "

Looking at them, Toto narrowed his eyes before asking.

" You are pirates, aren't you ? "

" Yeah, that's it . " Luffy agreed.

" Why would people like you help the princess of a country in distress like ours ? "

Simply smiling, Luffy declared.

" It's simple ! Vivi is our friend. "

Looking at him without saying anything, Toto began to dig again, while affirming.

" Yes ! You are right ! Besides, I understand! Since she was a child, the princess has always had this gift! That of attracting the sympathies of everyone by not being afraid to play with the children of peasants or others! Princess Vivi is the opposite of a spoiled princess! She always thinks of others, before she thinks of herself. "

Suddenly stopping digging, Toto then adds.

" And that's what makes her suffer. "

" Hum ? "

Turning again to the two brothers, Toto wanted to know.

'' Even if you go to Katorea tomorrow ... do you really think that stopping this war is possible ? "

Understanding what he meant, Luffy declared.

" Vivi hope ! However, … "

" … It will surely not happen as she thinks? " Ace added. " If this country is about to go to war, surely we can't get there in time to stop them. "

In front of them honestly, Toto lowered his head. Then, seconds later, tears began to roll down his cheeks.

" What to do ? What to do ? "

Letting go of his shovel, he began to wipe his cheeks, sobbing.

" This fool Koza and his idiots friends ... they are just a bunch of morons! And yet ... yet ... I don't want them to die ! And I don't want to know that they caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people either ! I don't want them to become murderers. "

Continuing to cry, he asked.

" What to do to save them ? What should I do ? What should I do to save Alabasta?

Seeing him fall to his knees, Luffy ends up walking towards him. Then, he passed him before placing himself in the hole the man was digging.

Rolling up his sleeves, he began to dig with his bare hands, before declaring.

" You have already done everything you can, old man ! And you keep doing it by saving your city. "

" What ? "

" Let us handle this war. " Cried Luffy. " Vivi's father, your son, the rebels and the guards… I promise we will save them. "

Then smiling broadly, Luffy cried out.

" You, on your side, continue to dig ! And make sure there is plenty of water in Yuba, when your son and his friends come back here. "

Remaining speechless, faced with his words, Toto clenched his teeth, while feeling new tears cover his cheeks.

" Mugiwara-san… "

For his part, Ace snickered, before hearing footsteps behind him.

" If I joined this bunch of morons, it's to help your princess. " Assured Bruno, walking towards the trio. " Toto-san, Luffy is right ! It's up to us to take over and continue your fight! Your son is a victim, just like King Cobra ! And I promise you that we will punish the real responsible for this war. "

Smiling upon hearing it, Luffy cried out.

" You are right, Bruno. "

" Hey, Mugiwara. " Cried the man. " Aren't you forgetting something ? Tonight is our last fight! Don't forget your promise! If I win, I wouldn't be part of your crew. "

Stopping digging, Luffy looked thoughtful. Then, finally, resuming digging in the sand, he cried out.

" Sorry, Bruno ! Could we postpone this fight until later ? "

" Hum ? "

'' Tonight I'm going to help the old man save Yuba. "

And without saying anything more, he created at full speed, to Bruno's surprise.

" I don't understand ! What is most important to him ? Improve the potential of his crew by forcing me to integrate ? Or help a stranger ? "

Unable to sleep, Vivi rolled over several times in her bed, before finally sitting up. Thinking about what Toto had just taught her, Vivi made her brains work, to the point where she felt a migraine pulling her.

" What should I do ? What should I do ? Is it really still possible to save my country ? "

" Princess Wednesday ? "

Turning her face, the young woman suddenly saw Neni, also awake, looking at the sky through a window.

" Neni-san? You don't sleep ? "

" It is complicated. " The man asserted, his arms behind his head.

Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, he confessed.

'' Knowing that we have walked ten days for nothing is quite annoying, isn't it ? "

" Indeed ! I am so sorry for this. "

" Sorry for what ? To try to save your country? You don't have to worry about it, Princess Wednesday! Remember you are talking to a man who worked for Baroque Works for two years! I don't deserve an apology in any way, baby. "

" Neni ... you know very well that I don't blame you ! I forgave you the second you decided to follow me to help me ! And I am very grateful to you. "

'' Maybe, but what have I been doing since we've been with Mugiwara ? Nothing at all ! Princess Wednesday, if I accompanied you, it was to repay the debt I owed you! And yet, not once have I been able to help you! I am sorry ! "

" Neni ... you ... I ... "

Finally sighing, Vivi cried out.

" First stop calling me Princess Wednesday ! My name is Vivi. "

" I think I guessed it, baby. " The man said, showing a very slight smile. " The truth, Princess Wednesday, is that I consider myself just a bodyguard ! I couldn't see myself as your friend until the moment I helped you save Alabasta. "

" Is this a promise ? "

" Hum ? "

" Is it true that you will consider me as your friend, once the war is over ? "

" Maybe, Princess Wednesday! Maybe ! "

(Rainbase)

" Mr Veririch ! It is a great honor to know you in our casino. " Cried a porter, bowing to a man who looked like a nobleman.

" I must admit that I love this place. " Affirmed the rich. " Crocodile-san had a fabulous idea to build a building in this city. "

This made up the clientele of Alabasta's most impressive casino. Having been built by Crocodile himself, the building was located in a city, which had managed to escape the drought. And for the population, this miracle was due to the presence of Crocodile.

Ensuring that every guest received a welcome they deserved, the doorman continued to bow to them every time they entered or left. A normal day for him.

However, hearing a man laugh in no way, the doorman saw a group of five people walking towards the casino. Each of them were dressed in clothes that were far from very expensive, a few had visible weapons and one of them seemed to want to enter the casino while being carried on the back of his horse.

" Hey, hold on. " Cried the porter, standing in front of them. " Sorry gentlemen, but I don't think you can get in here. "

At first surprised, the man who seemed to be the leader of the small group grabbed a bottle that was hanging from his belt and began to drink a few sips of alcohol. Then, once quenched, he laughed.

" ZEHAHAHAHA! Do you hear that guys? I think we are bothering. "

" Don't worry, captain. " Said a man with a face covered in white makeup. " We don't want to disturb these brave people in any way ! All we want is to have a simple chat with the boss of these place. "

" And if they ever refuse to let us enter, we can always use the hard way. " Assured a tall man, with a wrestler belt.

Then, with a simple wave of his hand, the leader of the small group pushed the porter out of his way and entered the casino. Immediately, the people who were already present quickly noticed their presence and began to speak among themselves, without daring to approach them.

" I feel like we have become the kind of attention. " The man with the painted white face remarked.

" I told you we had to put on nice clothes. " The man on his horse asserted, before coughing up blood.

Not giving a damn about the casino patrons, the chef turned to a corner of the building, where there was a den den mushi in charge of guarding the premises.

" Hey, Crocodile ! You hear me ? If I came, it is to talk to you. "

Then waiting a few seconds, the man then noticed that no one came to escort him into the boss's office.

" What ? You don't recognize me ? Yet we have already met a few times! I was in Whitebeard's crew. "

At once surprised cries were heard behind the man. Ignoring this, the pirate continued.

" I know everything about you and what you plan to do ! Don't worry, if I came here, it's not to bother you or anything else ! In fact, I have a proposal for you. "

Smiling mournfully, Teach wanted to know.

'' You wouldn't want to kill Whitebeard ? "

Another shocked exclamation. Yet again, Teach quickly noticed that no one came looking for him to take him to see Crocodile.

Noticing this, he finally shrugged, before asserting.

" I would have tried ! Come on guys, we're leaving. "

However, the instant he stepped out of the casino, the pirate stopped, hearing a voice behind him.

" I give you five minutes! And if you ever dare to waste my precious time, I'll kill you. "

Smiling, Teach turned to see Crocodile facing him.

" ZEHAHAHAHA ! "
