The weather was very hot, and the weather was very good.

Aimaru, located on the southwest bank of the Kingdom of Alabasta, in the lower reaches of the Saint Dora River, is known as the "Green City".

It has always been the economic center of southern Alabasta.

After Smoker and his friends finished their meal, they went out to stroll around the streets to see the local customs and people.

It was already afternoon, but there were still many shops and tourists on the street.

Many people in different costumes led camels to trade local specialties.

Although it looked like a prosperous business, Smoker keenly observed that

Many people had sorrow in their eyes, and felt particularly hopeless.

"Bell, what's going on? People here seem a bit lifeless..."

Bell sighed: "Come with me..."

They followed Bell to a tall building, overlooking the west side of Emmaru, and took a deep breath.

On the west side of the city, many houses have been abandoned, and the streets are buried in yellow sand.

"Emaru used to be a beautiful and vibrant city."

"Because it is close to the sea and the Santara River, the climate is quite good, so it has developed into a commercial city."

"Since the drought three years ago, there has not been a drop of rain here, the oasis has degraded, and the city has gradually been eroded by wind and sand..."

"If it continues like this, I don't know how long Emmaru can last..."

[No rain for three years...]

Smoker knew it was probably Crocodile's fault...

Although the Sand-Sand Fruit can change the landform and block the river without anyone noticing, causing the water veins to gradually dry up.

But Alabasta is a huge country after all. If you want to completely change the country's climate without being noticed by others, you can only erode the water source bit by bit.

In the plot, Crocodile used this method to slowly destroy Aluma.

Even their destination this time, Joba, was almost destroyed.

That's right, the location of the population auction has changed. It is no longer the rainy land, but Joba.

It is said that it was the work of King Cobra...

Smoker looked at the sunset.

"Forget it, it's late, let's go back..."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the hotel, and Sanai and Bell hurried to follow.

At night.

Smoker quietly got up and flew out of the window.

Dancing powder does not eliminate rain, but makes rain condense in other places.

If you want to destroy Aluma, the best way is to burn dancing powder in the surrounding desert, so that the precious rain will be wasted.

And if you want to take away rain for three consecutive years, you definitely need a lot of dancing powder.

In other words, there must be a huge warehouse of dancing powder nearby! !

There is no introduction to this warehouse in the original plot.

But he knows that there is a base of Baroque Works, Spider Cafe, dozens of kilometers northwest of Eluma.

There should be clues here,

Otherwise, Crocodile will build a cafe here...

Although I don’t know the exact location, it doesn’t matter,

The lights in the dark are very conspicuous, and you can see them even from dozens of kilometers away...

Soon, Smoker found a light and rushed over.

In the Spider Cafe.

Pola was listening to music and making coffee.

Beb sat quietly in a daze, with a dog-headed rocket launcher next to him.

Dorophy was eating cakes in big mouthfuls.

"Da Da Da!"

There was a sudden knock on the door outside.

The three of them were stunned and stopped what they were doing.

Pola frowned: "Come in! The door is not locked!!"

Smoker opened the door and walked in.

"A coffee shop in the desert... I didn't expect it to be so cozy."

Pola walked forward with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. What would you like to order?"

"No thanks..."

Smoker took a cigar and took a puff.

"It's not appropriate for a Baroque coffee shop to entertain a navy man like me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of wind behind his head.

Beb, who later became Mr. 4, swung a huge baseball bat and hit the back of his head.

"Iron..."

With a "clang" sound, the baseball bat hit Smoker's arm, but it didn't shake it at all. Instead, it bent directly.

"What?!"

Before he could react, Smoker pierced his throat with a finger gun.

Beb fell heavily to the ground with his eyes wide open, and his blood stained the floor red.

Pola and Dorophy were stunned.

"Impossible!"

"Partners!"

Smoker said calmly: "You two are talking nonsense.

I have more questions, so I'll start with you..."

Early the next morning.

Bell woke up and went to find Smoker.

"Good morning, Smoker won by a narrow margin..."

Smoker nodded and threw him a bag.

"What is this? !" Bell opened it and suddenly exclaimed: "Evil..."

Then he reacted and quickly shut his mouth.

There was a devil fruit in the pocket.

"Smoker, you are..."

"Animal-type Mole Fruit, the ability user can transform into a mole and dig tunnels easily."

"If it doesn't rain, think of a way to find groundwater! The water source solution may not be in the sky! This fruit is a small gift from me to thank Alabasta for its hospitality!"

Bell trembled with excitement: "Thank you so much! Smoker! !"

...

Rainy land, secret room.

Suddenly a low roar sounded.

"Damn! What happened to Whiskey Hill before and Spider Cafe now!!!"

"Elanette, send someone to check it out immediately!!!"

"Yes, Boss..."
