Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Arriving At Juba
"Have you forgotten what I said before?"
"Robin joined Baroque Works just because other places couldn't accommodate her."
Although Robin and Xu Cang are currently in different camps and have a completely hostile relationship, Xu Cang has no intention of hating Robin at all.
Robin has a very tragic past, and although he succumbed to darkness, he was still able to help Luffy and finally became his partner, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
After a while, Zoro said, "I'm almost used to it. If you look carefully, doesn't it look like a giant egg?" Zoro said.
"And it's man-made." Chopper also told what he discovered.
"This must be an ancient relic. According to Xu Cang, these should be ancient texts, but it feels like someone can hide it." Chopper discovered it very carefully, which made Xu Cang also have a deep impression of Chopper. Somewhat impressed.
"Although I don't know who did it, it was really hard work. It's none of my business anyway, and I have no interest in it."
"What we have to do now is to get out of here quickly. How do we get up now?" Zoro asked the most important question.
"Leave it to me."
Xu Cang grabbed Luffy with his left hand, Luffy stretched his body, Zoro and Chopper grabbed Luffy's body, Xu Cang spread his devil wings, and then He jumped up and flapped the wings on his back.
There was almost no obstruction from the sand above him, and he was pushed aside by Xu Cang.
Xu Cang rescued his friends very easily.
"It's finally out!" Both Zoro and Chopper recognized Xu Cang from the bottom of their hearts. The captain was the most reliable at the critical moment.
Of course, Luffy is also indispensable and is the "spiritual symbol" of the team.
Xu Cang did not just walk away like this, but directly generated a Rasengan with one hand, and then pressed it on the rock.
Just hearing "Boom!", the rock was beaten into the shape of a whirlpool.
"This should be enough." Xu Cang did this because he wanted to leave a mark here.
The ancient ruins are likely to be covered again by wind and sand, but this mark will never disappear.
In this way, Xu Cang, Zoro, Luffy, and Chopper embarked on a journey to find their companions and go to Yuba.
Due to Xu Cang's limited physical strength, it would not be a long time to fly with three people. In order to save physical strength, everyone still chose to walk.
The sky was getting darker, the weather was no longer hot, and Luffy became lively again.
As they walked, Chopper suddenly said: "The wind direction has changed, and I seem to smell something."
"Yes, that's right! This is Nami's perfume, coming from here." With Chopper's nose, Xu Cang and Zoro naturally pulled Luffy in the right direction.
Not long after, Xu Cang finally saw Nami Vivi riding a camel, followed by Sanji and Usopp.
Everyone finally reunited.
Everyone exchanged greetings. After all, they were only separated for a few hours and nothing happened, so they continued towards Yuba.
Chopper asked about the paper of life.
"By the way, Luffy, what on earth was that your brother gave you?"
"Xu Cang said it was life paper." Luffy said without thinking, as if he didn't quite understand it at all.
"What is the paper of life?" Everyone knew that asking Luffy was a useless question, so they looked at Xu Cang and asked.
"Xu Cang, what is that?" Nami asked.
Xu Cang cleared his throat and then said: "The paper of life is something on the Great Channel. It is usually given to you by people who are very close to you. The paper of life is like a permanent recording pointer. It will keep moving in the direction of that person."
"Ace said he was going to the west before, right? You see, if you put the paper of life on your palm, he will continue to move towards the west little by little."
Xu Cang thought he had made it clear, but to his surprise, Luffy actually asked: "Moving little by little, when will the paper move to that person's side? Is it too slow?"
The others just beat Luffy and complained: "Luffy, did you listen? The paper of life will tell you the direction of that person."
Sanji asked: "So, what will happen to the life paper if that person dies?"
A burst of sand blew past, and Xu Cang said: "The life card will shrink when the owner is weak, and will return to its original size when the owner recovers. If that person dies... the life card will slowly turn into ashes. no longer exists...
"Ace, you won't die easily, right? Xu Cang?" Luffy asked.
"Of course." Although Xu Cang said this, he didn't think so in his heart. If everything develops according to the original work, it is almost inevitable that Ace will die.
"Okay, everyone, after passing that rock, we are not far from Yuba. Let's drive harder!" Princess Vivi said looking ahead.
"Okay!" Everyone was very excited when they heard that we were going to Yuba soon.
"Really? Is it almost there?"
"Yes! Yuba Yuba! It's coming soon!"
In this way, everyone walked in the direction of Yuba with great expectations, but Xu Cang had a bad premonition.
At night, there was another sandstorm, but Xu Cang still relied on his demonic power to protect everyone.
"There seems to be a light ahead!" Vivi said, pointing into the distance.
"Have you arrived at Juba?"
"There's too much sand and it's hard to see clearly."
The wind and sand finally dispersed, but Vivi felt something was wrong.
"Not good! There seems to be something wrong with the way the city looks."
"It's a sandstorm! The city was hit by a sandstorm, right?"
Juba in the distance was shrouded in a sandstorm, with trees torn apart and the city looking like ruins.
However, the situation in Juba is much better than that in Elmar. It can be seen that there were still people living in Juba not long ago.
However, Vivi is a little unbelievable.
"How could...how could this have happened...
"It's not very different from Elmar... Zoro said truthfully.
"Where is the water?" Luffy was almost dying of thirst.
"Isn't this an oasis? Vivi?" Sanji was also full of questions.
Xu Cangde's bad premonition came true, and Yuba was indeed reduced to ruins.
"There is too much sand, causing the strata to rise and the oasis to be swallowed up." Vivi said with some regret.
Suddenly, there was a noise from around. It turned out to be a man, holding an iron pick, cleaning the river.
"You are travelers, right? The desert journey must be tiring, right? I'm really sorry, this city has been exhausted, but you should have a good rest. There are hotels everywhere. Those are the best places in this city." The uncle, with a big beard, kept digging while talking.
"Excuse me, I heard that the rebels are in this city."
"What do you want from the rebels?"
As soon as he heard about the rebels, the uncle immediately turned his face.
