Alabasta, Yuba.
This was once a famous oasis city.
However...
Under years of severe drought.
This oasis was on the verge of dying.
At this very mont, sowhere in Yuba.
A thin old man wearing a white headscar wielded a hoe.
He persistently tried to find underground water for Yuba to save the city.
Even though the pits he dug every day would be filled by sandstorms from unknown sources, he never gave up.
"Enough, old man, it's useless. The future of this country won't be dug out by old people like you!"
A determined young man with glasses and a leadership aura shouted.
"If it's not by the persistence of our older generation, then can we rely on your rebellion? Kosa, stop it, you should know what a great king King Cobra truly is. This is treason!!!"
The old man, Toto, earnestly advised his son.
"Great? Perhaps that was true before, and I always thought Lord Cobra was the best king in the world, but people always change!"
Kosa, the leader of the rebel army, said coldly.
"He selfishly broke the rules, only cared about his own pleasure, and arbitrarily used Dance Powder to steal everyone's rain..."
"Shut up, you foolish son! How could Lord Cobra do such a thing? Soone is framing him!"
Toto roared in anger.
"Then how do you explain... Never mind, more talk is useless. In any case, I will save this country in my own way, even if it ans being executed in the end!"
Kosa said resolutely.
Just then.
Whoosh~
The wind carried the scent of rain.
Drip-drop~
Drip-drop, drip-drop~
The sound of dense raindrops ca closer and closer.
Looking at the expanding rain in the sky that eventually enveloped them.
Both Kosa and the old man Toto were stunned in place.
For a long ti.
"Rain... it's the long-awaited rain! Kosa, you little brat, open your eyes and look closely! Seeing this rain, can you still say that Lord Cobra stole everyone's rain?"
The thin old man Toto knelt in the rain, tears streaming down his face.
"Were we... really wrong?"
The young rebel leader Kosa murmured unconsciously.
...
...
The rain after two years.
Plunged the entire Alabasta into a sea of excitent.
Millions of people rushed into the rain at this mont, dancing joyfully.
"Hahaha."
"It's raining~ It's finally raining~"
"I knew the rain would co!"
"Where are those who said Lord Cobra stole the rain? Co out and speak, you haters!"
"I always believed Lord Cobra is the best king in the world!"
"This is the king's benevolent rule moving the heavens!"
"With this rain, all the rumors will collapse on their own!"
"Wait a mont, this rain seems a bit strange. That black... it doesn't seem to be a rain cloud!"
"I noticed that too, it looks like an umbrella!"
"Who cares what it is, as long as it's raining, it's a great thing!"
People's excited shouts, laughter, and cries of joy, mixed with the patter of rain, echoed throughout Alabasta, rising and falling, ceaselessly.
Of course, not everyone was celebrating and rejoicing over this heavy rain.
Dream City, Rainbase.
Golden Pyramid Casino Rain Dinners.
"Hey, hey, hey, can soone tell what in the world is going on?"
Shichibukai Crocodile stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the heavy rain outside, angrily crushing the wine glass in his hand.
The excited cheers of the common people, to his ears, were so grating, as if they were mockery from the world.
His Alabasta Utopia plan...
His Ancient Weapon Pluton acquisition plan...
Everything, absolutely everything, was rendered useless and ca to naught with the falling of this heavy rain.
Even if he wanted to regroup and try again, it would not only be ti-consuming and laborious, but it might not even succeed again.
Working hard for two or three years, only to return to square one, perfectly described Crocodile at this mont.
"No, I clearly used the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit to lock all the moisture above this country, so why is there still rain...?"
Crocodile roared in shock and anger, his eyes fixed on the black sky where the rain was falling.
Alabasta was a sumr island desert kingdom, where rain was already scarce.
Under the influence and control of his Sand-Sand Fruit ability, this country wouldn't even have a single drop of rain.
Let alone a super heavy rain covering the entire country; this phenonon was simply too abnormal.
"That's not a rain cloud! Damn it, what in the world is that thing?"
Crocodile's pupils contracted sharply, taking several deep breaths to force himself to calm down.
At this point, the change had already occurred, and anger was not only useless but would also affect his judgnt.
"I haven't completely lost. Miss All Sunday, go and find out who is behind this rain imdiately. Also, notify all senior agents to prepare for assembly!"
Crocodile said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. 0!"
The tall, elegant Miss All Sunday, dressed in a tight leather suit and a large sun hat, responded and withdrew.
"To make a plan I've prepared for so many years go bankrupt, whoever it is, I will absolutely not spare them. I will make them die without a burial place!!!"
Crocodile's lips curled into a cruel smile.
