"Yes, the environment here is completely different from Whiskey Peak, this is also why I wanted everyone to prepare those things when we were in Whiskey Peak!" Vivi said following Nami's exclamation and gave an explanation.
Similarly, everyone under Vivi's explanation, also brought their own reserves.
These reserves, including a small amount of ingredients and some necessary things, were a large amount of freshwater resources.
Moreover, because of Vivi's explanation, everyone's freshwater resources were much more than necessary. Even, Callum and Zoro's freshwater resources were several times more than necessary.
"Is it really necessary to bring so much freshwater?" This was the question that Zoro asked at the beginning.
However, after landing in Alabasta, and entering the desert area of Alabasta. After entering this desert area, Zoro did not ask this question again.
Because, this desert area was simply too hot.
He did not know what the reason was, but the sun here seemed to be much bigger than in other places.
When sailing in the sea, he did not feel that the sun was so big, so hot. However, as soon as they landed in this desert area of Alabasta. This feeling immediately appeared.
Zoro had just walked a distance, and had already drunk a lot of water.
If there were no these freshwater resources, Zoro had already understood, that they would definitely not be able to cross this desert area.
Although everyone knew that they had to cross the desert area, to be able to reach Alabasta's capital Alubarna. However, the specific direction, everyone did not know.
After all, Callum and the others were also coming to the territory of Alabasta for the first time.
"Vivi, you lead the way, we'll just follow, we don't know how to go!" Callum came to Vivi's side, and said to Vivi
"Okay, I and Igaram will lead the way for you. You must keep up!" Vivi after hearing Callum's words, then told everyone, "Because, this desert area is very easy to get lost in, once you get separated, you will get lost.
Also, in the desert area it is very difficult to distinguish the direction. Once you lose your companions, and lose your direction, you will die of thirst in this desert area!"
"I know!" After hearing Vivi's explanation, everyone expressed that they knew.
So, Vivi rode the Super-Spot-Billed Ducks and Igaram walked in front, and Callum and the others followed behind Vivi and the others, rushing towards Alabasta's capital Alubarna.
The entire desert area was worthy of being a desert area, the endless sand, completely covered this area. With the slight breeze blowing, some sand also blew up. There was a kind of different scenery.
At the same time, because of the sun's heat, on the surface of the entire desert, they could see a kind of air that was baked by the scorching sun.
"This place is really too hot!" After walking for a while, Nami complained. It was not that Nami could not bear it. It was just that this place was really too hot.
Nami, who had lived in the East Blue since she was young, had never experienced such a hot desert area. So she could not help but complain.
However, Nami complained, but she did not have any meaning of complaint.
Through Vivi's explanation and previous reminders, Nami had psychological preparation.
In fact, Callum and Zoro also had psychological preparation. Similarly, Callum and Zoro's thoughts were the same as Nami's. Although they also had psychological preparation.
However, they only had psychological preparation. After all, they had also not thought that this place would be so hot.
"However, it can also be considered normal! There are always some extreme weather and extreme regions that exist!" On this point, Nami was still very clear.
In the entire pirate world, there were many different places.
And in these different places, the differences in environment and climate were still very big. It was possible that just now this island was summer, and the next island had already reached the appearance of winter.
Just like now, originally Whiskey Peak was still normal weather.
However, this desert area of Alabasta was already the scorching summer.
"If we cross this desert area, how long will it take to reach Alubarna?" After walking for a distance, Callum could not help but ask Vivi.
"This" Callum's sentence had stumped Vivi. She did know this desert area, and she had also crossed this desert area more than once.
However, before, she had not directly crossed this desert area on foot like this. Before, she had used desert ships to cross it several times.
Moreover, they had also not completely crossed this desert area.
So, Vivi did not know how much time it would take. She only knew that it would take a long time. This long time, was enough to consume a lot of freshwater resources.
So, Vivi had asked everyone to bring enough freshwater resources.
"If we cross it, it will take about a day and a half!" Seeing that Vivi did not answer correctly, Igaram supplemented and answered Callum.
After all, Igaram was an official of Alabasta. He had stayed in Alabasta for a long time. He would not say that he understood this desert area very well. However, the basic things, Igaram was still very clear about.
"So that's how it is!" After hearing Igaram's answer, Callum and the three of them all had a sudden realization.
This time of a day and a half, was still acceptable.
After all, they were now advancing on foot, and being able to walk out of the desert area and reach Alabasta's capital Alubarna in such a short time, was also acceptable.
"However, this is under normal circumstances!" Seeing everyone's reaction, Igaram added another explanation.
"Normal circumstances? Could it be that there are also abnormal circumstances?" Zoro was the first to ask back.
Indeed, Igaram's meaning, was that there were indeed abnormal circumstances that existed. Moreover, these abnormal circumstances, were still very frequent.
"Of course, in this desert area, encountering abnormal circumstances, is very normal!" Igaram's sentence was very interesting, and also explained the abnormality of the desert area.
Because, Igaram's meaning, was saying that, in the process of crossing this desert area, there would definitely be some abnormal situations that appeared.
Moreover, the probability of this appearing was still very high, that is to say, the fact that they needed a day and a half to cross the entire desert area, was just an ideal time.
The reality was, that they simply could not cross the entire desert area and enter Alabasta's capital Alubarna in a day and a half.
"Then, what are the abnormal situations?" Nami could not help but curiously ask Igaram.
"There are many abnormal situations..." Igaram seemed to be very handy in answering such questions. So, the speed of his speech was not very fast, and at the same time he also saw some clues of abnormal phenomena.
"For example now, you look at our distance!" Igaram said faintly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
Then, everyone looked towards the direction that Igaram was pointing, and could not help but exclaim,
"What what what is this?" Nami looked at the scene in front of her, and instantly stopped her footsteps, opened her mouth wide, and asked very surprised.
"This is a sandstorm, a unique harsh environment in the desert area!" Before Igaram could explain, Callum had already taken the lead to explain to Nami.
"Then, what should we do in this situation?" Nami asked eagerly.
"Of course we should quickly take shelter! We cannot move forward in this situation!" Callum said while taking out the tools that he had bought in Whiskey Peak,
So, everyone began to work. Their speed had to be very fast.
Although, it now looked like, the distance between this sandstorm and them was still very far. However, they could not withstand the fact that this sandstorm's speed of movement was very fast.
For example now, the sandstorm had already advanced half the distance towards Callum and the others' direction.
"Everyone hide inside, you can only come out after the sandstorm has passed!" So before the sandstorm arrived, the place where Callum and the others took emergency shelter, was finally completed.
Under Callum's arrangement, everyone, including the two Super-Spot-Billed Ducks, entered inside.
"Whoosh whoosh" And just as everyone entered inside, the sandstorm swept over.
The huge wind force, blew the yellow sand, making the entire space be in a yellow environment.
Under such circumstances, they could not see any place at all. They could only see the sky full of yellow sand, so under this situation, everyone had their eyes closed,
Moreover, everyone was gathered together, and were lying down properly.
Looking at the situation, this sandstorm would not last very long.
This was because, although this desert area looked very big, it was actually not very big. The distances at which these sandstorms formed were also relatively short.
So, after the sandstorm had blown for about ten minutes, it finally stopped.
"Has it stopped?" Nami was the first to come out from inside, her entire body had already been covered by yellow sand.
"It has stopped!" Vivi also said while standing up, and was answering Nami's question.
"Swish, swish!" The two Super-Spot-Billed Ducks also came out from inside, and began to run to the side, shaking the feathers on their bodies, and a large area of sand fell down.
"This sandstorm is still quite big ah!" Callum could not help but exclaim.
Indeed, now everyone had already come out from the emergency shelter that they had just built, every single part of everyone's body, did not have a place that did not have sand.
However, it was also thanks to this emergency shelter. It did not let anyone be blown away by the sandstorm, or be buried in the desert by the sand brought by the sandstorm.
"Yes, this sandstorm although it is very big, it is not very bad. Because the time that this sandstorm lasts is not very long. Some of the more harsh sandstorms, last for a very long time. If you encounter that kind of sandstorm, you can only be unlucky!" Igaram was also answering Callum's words.
"Then, let's continue to move forward!" Callum said.
"Okay!" Everyone said in unison. Since the sandstorm had disappeared. Then it was time to continue moving forward. In order to avoid these harsh climates,
They could only cross this desert area as soon as possible.
Moreover, Vivi was definitely the most anxious one. After all, the later she returned to her country's capital Alubarna, the more danger there would be of war.
After all, Vivi knew about the rebel army led by Koza..
