General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 280 Vivi
Rolling sand dunes, towering coconut trees, exotic desert dancers, and people wearing turbans, scarves, and robes.

Here is Alabasta, one of the few superpowers in the paradise.

In the middle of the endless desert, Rainland, the most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Alabasta, is like a piece of green emerald embedded in the golden sand dunes, bringing a dazzling emerald green to this desolate and dry world.

"Sir, our Yudi Casino does not accept credit. Please pay off the 3112 million beli spent in Yudi. This is the distinguished VIP card of our casino. After settling the fee, from now on, you are VIPs of Yudi will enjoy a [-]% discount on all purchases here from now on."

In the luxurious hall, the desert girl with a graceful figure and sweet appearance turned a blind eye to the greedy eyes of the pirates in front of her, and still patiently used a soft voice to persuade the pirates who wanted to buy on credit.

The tall and thick pirate slapped his rough hands heavily on the table of the counter and stared angrily:
"What do you mean? I can't afford these 3000 million beli? Do you know who I am? I'm the axe Sotok with a bounty of 5500 million beli! It's only 3000 million beli, I said I'll give it to you next time , I’ll give it to you next time, if you say something more verbose, believe it or not, I will destroy your bullshit entertainment place!”

Sotok pointed to the single-edged giant ax carried on his back, staring at the desert girl in front of him with a fierce look on his face, his greedy eyes constantly scanning back and forth over the girl's sensitive parts.

"Sorry, our Yuyan Casino does not accept credit, please..."

The desert girl has a hint of intellectual beauty but wears a wild midriff-baring outfit. Her voice is still sweet and crisp, and she is a little stubborn beyond Sotok's imagination.

"Captain Sotok! What are you talking nonsense to her? Hundreds of our Ax Pirates are here. If you ask me, we will rob the Yuyan Casino directly. It looks like we are extremely rich here, so rob it. , let’s go to the Capital of Seven Waters to buy a good ship, and then go to the New World to find the great secret treasure!”

A pirate impatiently pulled out a long knife from his waist and looked around with cruel eyes.

The other guests in the hall had already been paying attention to the commotion here.

At this time, noticing the undisguised greedy gazes of the pirates, many guests immediately became restless and began to get up and walk out, only to be blocked by the grinning pirates.

"Sir, please consider it carefully. Our Yuyan Casino is protected by the national hero of Alabasta, the great King Shichibukai, Mr. Crocodile..."

Before the desert girl finished speaking, the counter in front of her was chopped into pieces with an ax by the grinning Sotok, and then a big rough hand reached out impatiently and roughly pulled her into his arms.

Sotok laughed loudly and raised the giant ax in his hand, "What bullshit, King Shichibukai, is just a lackey of the World Government. Boys, do it! Grab everything here, Bailey, women, take them all away !”

"Go!"

"Hahaha, lambs, don't resist! Just stand where you are, we only want money rather than our lives!"

The pirates drew their weapons one after another, rushed into the crowd with laughter, and began to loot the guests in the hall and the casino.

Soon, the chaos in the casino spread to the towns outside, causing a huge commotion.

"Pirates! There are pirates causing trouble. Go and ask for Mr. Crocodile!"

The residents of the city ran home in panic. The long street was in chaos, and various items were scattered on the ground.

"Quick! Be quick with your hands and feet! Although I am not afraid of that so-called King Qibukai, there is no need to fight with him here. If we lose manpower, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Sotok held the charming desert girl in his arms, drank loudly, and walked out of the casino first.

Bang!
As soon as he walked out of the casino, he bumped into a passerby who was just walking with his head down.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here, you idiot."

Sotok slapped the young man in front of him who had a short knife on his waist, a yellow leather hat on his head, and a face full of freckles, causing him to stumble.

"I'm sorry! I was distracted." The freckled young man didn't get angry after being pushed by him. Instead, he hurriedly bowed and apologized.

But Sotok didn't even look at him, and strode away.

A few red apples rolled down in the middle of the long street, attracting the attention of several children hiding on the street corner.

"It's an apple. I haven't eaten an apple yet."

A little boy's throat rolled and he licked his dry, cracked lips.

"I heard that apples are sweet, what does sweet taste like?"

A dirty girl's eyes are full of desire.

They came from Juba, the most arid and barren place in Alabasta.Because there is no rain all year round, the already dry land has cracked and turned into desert.

Most of their parents had died of hunger during the drought of the previous few years.

The reason why I risked death by crossing the desert to come to the Rain Land is because I heard that this is the only two cities in Alabasta where it rains.

The other is Albana, the capital of the kingdom.

Moreover, the children heard that this place is protected by the great patron saint of the desert, Crocodile, the hero of Alabasta, and it is the safest city in the kingdom.

"The pirates haven't come yet, I'll go pick up those apples!"

Suddenly, a girl in the crowd who was a little out of place with the other children, neatly dressed, cute, and with sky blue curly hair spoke in a low voice.

Then, without waiting for the children around her to react, she rushed into the crowd of people running away and ran towards a few apples rolling down on the ground.

"Vivi!"

"Weiwei! Don't go! There are pirates!"

The children shouted anxiously.

The girl named Weiwei, whose movements were not flexible, rushed into the fleeing crowd and was immediately knocked down several times by the chaotic flow of people, staining her white clothes with a large area of ​​dust.

Some parts of the body were also hurt by the fall.

But she still approached the red apples that fell on the ground with firm eyes.

Soon, she picked up the first dusty apple from the ground.

Looking at the broken apple in her hand, Weiwei had a smile on her face.

She turned around, raised the apple in her hand towards her companion hiding on the street corner, and waved it vigorously.

"Vivi!"

When the children saw the apple held up in her hand, desire and excitement suddenly appeared in their eyes.

Suddenly, Weiwei saw a red apple being kicked out and rolled to a low-lying area not far away.

Her eyes lit up and she ran over there quickly.

There were fewer and fewer people running around, and the streets became empty.

Weiwei was glad that there were fewer people and she didn't have to be hit. She bent down and stretched out her hand towards the larger-looking red apple. When she wanted to pick it up, a big foot wearing leather boots fell from above and dropped the apple. It was crushed to pieces by one foot.

The crunching sound of the fruit pulp being crushed, accompanied by the splashing of sweet juice, made Weiwei stunned.

A huge shadow covered her small body.

Behind him came the frightened shouts of his companions.

"Weiwei! Run away!"

"Don't be afraid! We will come to rescue you right away!"

The children, whose clothes were in tatters and whose faces were emaciated due to excessive hunger, looked frightened, but still staggered towards Weiwei on the street.

"Hey, hey, hey, little girl, do you want to eat an apple?"

Weiwei's body stiffened. She raised her head a little and saw a rough-looking bearded man holding a big ax in one hand and restraining a frightened dancer with the other, giving her a ferocious smile. .
