Koza was so determined to attack Alabasta's capital Alubarna, Vivi also knew that it was something that would definitely happen.
Then, now the most important thing was, that Vivi could return to her country's capital as soon as possible. To tell her father, not to send out the royal army to fight with Koza's rebel army,
She also had to tell Koza, not to let the rebel army enter Alabasta's capital Alubarna.
After all, this was a conspiracy. This was a huge conspiracy planned by [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai.
Moreover, Crocodile in order to plan this conspiracy, had already waited for several years.
Now, the situation in Alabasta was also becoming more and more serious.... which was enough to prove, that Crocodile's conspiracy had entered the final crucial moment.
If, she did not stop it at this time, there would really be no way.
However, Vivi also knew, that even if she entered Alabasta's capital Alubarna, and just went to talk to her father or Koza, it would definitely be useless.
Her father would not listen to these words that she said.
And Koza, if he could listen to Vivi's words, there would not have been these things later. So, Koza would definitely not listen to Vivi's words either.
He would not before, and he would definitely not now.
Although, Vivi knew that this was a conspiracy. However, for other people, this conspiracy was just something that Vivi had made up.
Or it was just Vivi's delusion.
"What what is that?" Suddenly, in a distant direction, Nami again saw the same scene as before, "It can't be another sandstorm, right? Didn't one just blow over?"
Hearing Nami's words, everyone then looked towards the direction that Nami was pointing.
Everyone was also relatively puzzled, because after all a sandstorm had just blown over, and for another one to come again would seem a little unscientific,
However, after all, this was a desert area, and it was acceptable for some extreme phenomena to appear.
"This doesn't seem to be a sandstorm, right? It seems to be a little different from before!" Zoro squinted his eyes and looked, and said his confusion.
"Yeah, I also feel that it is different from the situation before ah. It should not be a sandstorm, but what is this then?" Callum also expressed that he did not know what the situation was.
"..." Although Zoro and Callum were both guessing with confusion, Igaram who understood even more did not speak, because he was so surprised that he could not speak.
"Igaram, what is that expression on your face?" Callum turned his head to look at everyone, wanting to see what everyone's reaction was, when he saw Igaram's surprised expression, and then roughly knew that the matter was not simple.
"This... this... this is not a sandstorm!" Igaram said somewhat stutteringly.
"I also know that this is not a sandstorm!" He had just been blown by a sandstorm, Callum still knew what a sandstorm looked like. So, seeing such a scene in front of him, Callum was also able to distinguish it.
Callum just did not know, what exactly the sand flying in the distance in front of him meant.
"This is the Sand Pirate Group is coming!" Igaram said while hugging the freshwater resources on his body tightly.
"Sand Pirate Group? Why does this name sound so awkward?" Zoro after hearing Igaram's explanation, also expressed that he was very puzzled.
"Yes, this is the Sand Pirate Group, you are the Pirate Group, and they are the Sand Pirate Group, you can understand if you think about the name, they are Sand Pirates who live in the desert area. It's the same principle as you pirates who live in the sea!
"Because, this is a desert area, so it is also a weak area for the Alabasta Kingdom to manage. So, it has also bred the birth of these Sand Pirate Groups who take the desert area as their territory!"
After Igaram finished explaining, everyone then began to have a sudden realization.
"Then, did they come because they saw us?" Nami, who had discovered the Sand Pirate Group's movements at the beginning, asked Igaram,
"It is estimated that they did, in this desert area, it is actually very difficult to be a Sand Pirate." Although Igaram said this, he did not have any meaning of sympathy.
"Difficult?" Callum expressed that he did not understand.
Since Igaram had explained it, then this was no different from their pirate group ah.
How could it be difficult?
"Yes, it is very difficult! Because they do not dare to enter the normal places in Alabasta, they can only stay in this desert, and also endure these abnormal harsh weather conditions in the desert from time to time. Moreover, very few people come to the desert area. So they will often lose their source of livelihood."
"So, their purpose, is very obviously coming for us?" Callum asked back.
"Yes!" Igaram affirmed
Although Igaram hugged his freshwater resources tightly. However, Igaram was not very afraid, after all Callum and the others were by his side
Igaram had seen Callum and the others' strength. So, with Callum and the others' protection, he was not afraid.
Igaram having this reaction, was also just a habitual reaction of knowing what the Sand Pirate Group's purpose was.
"Then, what is their purpose?" Nami also asked puzzledly,
Because they wanted to enter Alabasta, they had no choice but to abandon the ship in the sea by the shore. So, they did not bring many things.
Besides some necessary Berries, what was left was some food and a large amount of freshwater resources.
"Their target is not Berries!" Igaram seemed to have heard what Nami's confusion meant. And then directly explained, "Because they basically cannot enter other places in Alabasta, so Berries for them, are almost of no use!"
"Then, what else?" Nami was even more puzzled, if they did not rob Berries, what would they rob?
"Our food, especially the freshwater resources." Igaram looked at the freshwater resources that Nami was carrying on her back, and then said, "These things, in the desert, are the most precious things!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!" This time, Nami had completely understood.
Then, Nami also knew the importance of this matter.
Not only did Nami know, but Callum and the others also knew. Because these food and freshwater resources were important resources in the desert.
If they were robbed, then they would have no choice but to die of thirst in the desert area.
"Woohoo!" And just at this time, the shadow of the Sand Pirate Group had appeared.
Sitting on sand Pirate ships that he did not know what the principle was, they were approaching Callum and the others at a very fast speed.
There were still quite a few of these Sand Pirate Group's crew members.
"I am the leader of the Barbar Pirates Group, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise, don't blame me Barbarossa for being impolite to you!" Soon, these Sand Pirates sitting on small sand ships surrounded Callum and the others closely,
The one at the lead who claimed to be Barbarossa, should be the leader of this Sand Pirate Group.
However, he was not riding on a sand ship, he was riding on his own sand Pirate ship.
These Sand Pirates riding on sand ships, should be Barbarossa's subordinates. Of course, they were also the combatants of this Sand Pirate Group.
"Hehehe!" Seeing that there were only five people in Callum's group, these Sand Pirates' faces, all showed evil smiles. After all, they were very confident in such a battle.
Several against one, and it was still on their territory.
This was simply a crushing victory
Moreover, these Sand Pirates, also saw the things that Callum and the others were carrying.
These small amounts of food and the necessary tools in the desert, these Sand Pirates were not very interested in.
However, for the freshwater resources that they were carrying on their backs, these Sand Pirates were very interested. Looking at their chapped lips, they knew that they had not drunk water for a long time.
Now, there were so many freshwater resources waiting to be robbed by them. How could they not be happy about this matter?
Especially the freshwater resources that Callum and Zoro were carrying on their backs, were almost several times more than other people's. So, they became even happier.
It seemed that, now these freshwater resources were already theirs.
Even, these freshwater resources had already been drunk into their mouths. One Sand Pirate could not help but lick his chapped lips.
"You, what are you trying to do?" Callum could not help but say, although he knew what the other party wanted to do, he still asked.
"What do we want? If you want to resist, we don't mind taking your lives!" The one at the lead was Barbarossa standing on the sand Pirate ship, after hearing Callum's question, the sinister meaning on his face became even more obvious.
"Since that's the case" Zoro after hearing Barbarossa's words, his face also became serious. At the same time, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of one of the swords.
"Surround them for me!" Barbarossa naturally also saw Zoro's movements, and directly commanded his subordinates, to surround Callum and the others.
Because Callum and the others were only five people plus two ducks. However, the Sand Pirates in the Barbar Pirates Group were several times more than Callum and the others.
So, Barbarossa felt that he definitely had victory in his grasp.
After these Sand Pirates surrounded Callum and the others, they did not act, but the weapons in their hands, such as bows and arrows, had already been aimed at Callum and the others.
If Callum and the others had any movement, it was estimated that they would launch an attack.
However, now they were still waiting for Barbarossa's command, without Barbarossa's command, they did not dare to act without authorization.
Although, the current them were already unbearably thirsty,
"I say, Barbarossa, you seem to be a little wrong!" Callum was not in a hurry, since they had encountered the Sand Pirate Group in such a boring desert area, Callum wanted to see what abilities this Sand Pirate Group had.
"What's wrong? We are the Sand Pirate Group, of course we want to rob you people. Otherwise, what is the meaning of our Sand Pirate Group existing in this desert?" Barbarossa after hearing Callum's words, expressed that he could not understand.
On the other hand, the remaining four people, saw that Callum was still talking with Barbarossa with great interest, and did not have any actions, and did not even speak, all were waiting for Callum, they actually also wanted to see what Callum wanted to do.
"I'm not talking about this." Callum expressed that Barbarossa seemed to have misunderstood some things.
