One Piece: The Long Road

Vol 3 Chapter 28: Arrive

.

After determining the direction, the two of Simon did not hesitate, and headed for Albana at their fastest speed.

Along the way, Simon and Alex chatted a lot.

It seems that because of the recovery of Poppy, Alex is a lot more cheerful, so there are more topics.

“Brother Simon, what’s your purpose in going to Albana?” Alex, who was walking in the desert, suddenly asked.

“Heh.” Simon smiled when he heard it: “Do what you think you should do.”

“Huh?” Alex didn’t know why, “Do something you should do?”

“Well.” Simon nodded heavily.

Glancing at Simon, whose eyes were always in front of him, Alex pondered.

what to do…

In the past, all I thought about was poppies, so no matter what happened to this country, I could only put it in the back of my mind, but now, I don’t need to think about poppies anymore, so should I do something?

It’s just that when I want to do something, I find that I don’t know what to do at all.

“Brother Simon, remember what you said, sadness can’t change anything.” Alex bit his lip tightly, “Now I don’t want to be just sad, but I don’t know what can be changed with my own strength, what can I give this What the country brings, what should be done at this time.”

Simon’s expression froze upon hearing Alex’s words, he turned his head to look at the confused little face, and suddenly sighed: “You are still young, don’t think too much.”

“Where am I young?” Alex retorted angrily upon hearing this.

“Alex.” As if he didn’t want to argue about age, Simon said solemnly: “A person’s strength is limited after all. Even if you want to do something now, you won’t achieve anything.”

“But.” Alex lowered his head when he heard this, his face depressed, “If you don’t do anything like this, will you be willing to be Brother Simon?”

Simon sighed and fell silent.

After a long time, Simon’s faint voice came over: “Do you have a dream?”

“Dream?” Alex was stunned, he didn’t even think about the word dream.

“It seems… no.” Alex shook his head stiffly.

“Really.” Simon smiled suddenly, how like he used to be. “Think about it, there must be.”

Alex pondered after hearing this, I love this country…

If you talk about your dreams, maybe you can only protect the country you love!

“Dream, I want to protect this country.” Alex suddenly realized and said loudly, and then his face darkened.

Looking at the bleak little face, Simon smiled slightly and said with relief: “Don’t worry too much, you are still too weak now, if you want to protect this country, you can’t just rely on ideas, so, stand on the side now, Just watch it quietly.”

“This country may not be so fragile.”

Simon looked ahead. In fact, he was not sure what the future of this country would be like. In the end, he also tended to what he said. After all, it is difficult for a person’s power to change anything.

What will Luffy do?

“Really?” Alex raised his head slightly and asked.

Simon nodded seriously.

The sun over the desert is still hot, baking the yellow earth.

Under this bright sun, the two of them were walking forward very fast.

Along the way, there have been more and more towns that have dried up and become ruins, and there is an atmosphere of desolation everywhere.

As time passed, it was approaching evening, and there were already a lot of stars in the sky.

As Alex expected, during this time period, he came to a dilapidated town that has no human beings. Tonight, he will rest here.

As soon as he walked into this town, a desolate aura immediately came upon him.

Once, it was a beautiful oasis, providing the best rest for travelers in the desert.

But now there are only the ruins eroded by the yellow sand, and the bones of some animals.

After kicking away a withered tree trunk on the sand with his feet, Simon glanced at the surrounding environment, sighed suddenly, and found a ruin that was enough to shelter the wind and walked over.

After that, Alex looked at all this sadly. The desert is such a cruel place. In the absence of water, no matter how strong the place is, it will wither.

The night passed like this again, and the sky was white with fish belly.

As soon as the two of Simon woke up, they continued their pace non-stop. According to the current speed, it is estimated that they will reach Albana a few hours faster than expected.

After driving for hours in a dreary way, Simon finally saw the outline of a city.

“That’s Albana.” Alex saw it too, pointing to the vaguely visible city.

“Well.” Simon looked at Albana carefully.

After the physical fitness has improved a few levels, even though the distance is still very far, Simon can almost see clearly.

From a distance, the capital Alba is a city built on a rock, which is truly spectacular.

“Huh?” Simon’s expression suddenly froze from afar, and he saw waves of sand mist rising from Alba.

Alex, who was on the side, noticed the change in Simon’s expression, and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

Simon frowned when he heard the words, but he didn’t know what was going on, he just said anxiously: “Albana seems to have happened, Alex, I’ll go and see first, if there is any situation, don’t approach Albana, Did you know?”

After that, Simon didn’t wait for Alex to answer, and ran very fast. Without someone to guide him, he didn’t have to worry at all, and ran towards Albana at his fastest speed. .

A moment later, when Albana was getting closer and closer, Simon heard the sound of shelling, and Jun Yi’s face couldn’t help but change slightly.

“Sure enough, what happened, could it be a war?” Simon Jian frowned, and his feet suddenly accelerated.

Suddenly, a strong explosion came from Simon’s right front. The explosion was huge. A dazzling white light shot out with the strong hurricane, and then a mushroom-like smoke appeared in the air.

Seeing the strong explosion, Simon’s expression froze, and he ran in that direction.

After running for a while, Simon came to the place where the explosion occurred. At this time, the mushroom-like smoke had disappeared, and on the yellow sand, there was a relic that was often seen along the way.

Seriously taking the scenery in front of him into his eyes, Simon was suddenly stunned. He saw several people on the sandy ground in the distance, and one of them had seen it himself.

“Like, Luffy’s partner?” Simon frowned, looking at the man with a yellow turban on his head and a distinctive long nose on his face. He moved his feet and walked over there~www.readwn .com~ With Simon’s current vision, he clearly saw that the long-nosed foot was being caught by a mole-like creature, and there was a fat man with a bat and two pets not far away.

Not only did his eyesight improve, but his own hearing ability also improved. After walking a few steps, Simon could clearly hear what the long nose said.

“Stop talking nonsense, you old mole! How could that guy die, how could he lose to that **** Crocodile!” Usopp shouted excitedly at an ugly mole under his feet. .

Hearing the excited words, the mole gave a disdainful smile, “What basis do you have to say it’s impossible?” After speaking, there was a burst of unpleasant laughter.

“Because, he is the man who wants to become the Pirate King!” Usopp’s eyes were wide open, and those black eyes kept shaking, “So it is impossible for him to fall in such a place!”

“One Piece?” The old woman Mole’s mouth suddenly grinned, and she laughed sarcastically, “Haha, there will be no second person to say such childish words in the Great Channel, it’s better to die under the boss’s hands, haha !”

Hearing the disdainful words of the old woman Mole, Usopp clenched his fists tightly, his teeth biting his lips fiercely, and bright red blood oozing out.

In the distance, listening to this conversation, Simon’s face changed, he could hear a message, that is, Luffy died under Crocodile’s hands!

“How is that possible!” Simon’s dark eyes trembled, staring at the distance, and before he could think about it, he saw that the long nose was pulled by the mole under his feet and moved quickly.

“It’s useless to think too much, just ask and you’ll know!” Simon looked coldly at the mole with his long nose, stomped his feet and ran over.
