Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Upon closer inspection, Weiwei immediately recognized the man.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Lasha? It really is you!"

It turns out that Lasa and Princess Vivi knew each other when they were children.

Um, he's one of Vivi's followers.

Yes, Vivi was a delinquent girl when she was young.

Later, for various reasons, the two lost contact.

I never expected to run into you here again today.

Lasha stepped forward, only to be stopped in front of her by the protector, Mr. Shan, the gentleman.

"Princess Vivi, I've finally met you! How have you been all these years?"

Weiwei nodded.

"I'm doing well. Lasha, what are you doing here?"

Lasha sighed.

“A lot has happened in Alabasta over the years. I had to join the Barubalu Regiment to survive.”

Luffy and the others then understood.

It turns out, it was just a misunderstanding.

When the members of the Baroque Works learned that everything was the work of the Baroque Works, they were shocked and immediately cried out in alarm.

Something big is about to happen!

It turns out that the leader of the rebel army was actually Vivi's other follower, Kou Sha.

……

Chapter 27 The Pirate Game in Mizui Village, Crocodile's Conspiracy.

After bidding farewell to the Sand Pirates, Luffy and his crew prepared to head to Water Well Village to replenish their food and water supplies.

This is one of the few villages in the desert that can be self-sufficient.

Along the way, sandstorms raged, with strong winds carrying sand and dust that stung everyone's faces.

In response, Fanny, who was lying on top of the fast climber, offered a suggestion.

"You can try to use the power of your inner universe to cover your body to resist wind and sand and reduce moisture loss from your skin."

Everyone tried it as Fanny suggested, and wow, it worked great!

Especially the two girls.

Well, Zoro's cosmos, like his ability, is lost; he can only face the gale now.

Of course, there are also experts.

Yamaji was in an even worse situation; his cosmos was so weak that he couldn't even run fast.

Yes, running fast can create a miniature universe!

The most surprising thing is Chopper.

That awakened inner power that crushed everyone reminded Fanny of the legendary Doctor.

Ophiuchus is such a yyds!

After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at Shuijing Village.

Most of the village's buildings are constructed from sand and earth; though simple, they are arranged in a pleasing and rustic manner.

The arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates instantly shattered the village's tranquility.

The villagers peeked out of their homes, casting curious glances.

Some hid behind the door, only peeking out with their eyes.

Some boldly stepped forward, eager to find out what was going on.

Without taking a break, Luffy and his crew immediately began replenishing their food and water supplies.

In this vast desert, these supplies are crucial for their survival.

In Shuijing Village, there lived a small-time hoodlum named Camus.

He was idle and lazy all day long, and was a notorious scoundrel in the village.

Recently, he heard that a bandit uprising had broken out in the vicinity, and he began to have wicked ideas.

He took a bunch of thugs out for a stroll, and when they returned, he swaggered around the village claiming to be a rebel, freeloading off people.

The villagers dared not speak out against them and could only silently endure their bullying.

When Weiwei saw these third-rate thugs using the name of the rebel army to deceive the kind villagers, her anger was instantly ignited.

You're so brave? Why don't you go and impersonate the Baroque Works?

Without hesitation, he asked Luffy and the others to pretend to be vicious pirates and teach Camus and his crew a lesson.

Fanny agreed to give him a beating.

What kind of class do you have to dare to use such a name?

Luffy agreed to Vivi's request without hesitation.

In his view, helping friends and punishing evil and promoting good is his inescapable responsibility.

"No problem, Vivi! Watch me!"

Luffy patted his chest and said confidently.

His face beamed with excitement, as if a fun game was about to begin.

Thus, under the strategic intimidation of director Fanny and the great Usopp's verbal sparring, a spectacular "pirate show" began.

Luffy and his crew suddenly rushed out, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, pretending to attack Camus and the others.

Camus and the others were terrified and tried to escape, only to find themselves surrounded.

Luffy and his crew gave them a brutal beating without any mercy, making them realize the consequences of deceiving the villagers.

Then, Usopp stood in front of everyone, gesturing wildly as he recounted the terrifying deeds of the pirates.

As Camus and the others listened to Usopp's story, their faces grew paler and paler, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

Van Nistelrooy has almost fully recovered from the chaos.

He jumped off the fast runner and stood quietly to the side, watching everything with great interest.

This overdraft was already quite painful for him.

But unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing, allowing him to directly experience his eighth sense.

Sit-up skills are truly amazing.

Just as Luffy and his crew were engrossed in playing the pirate game, that man reappeared.

That's right, it was Ace.

Ace got lost in the desert for the first time ever, but unexpectedly, he reunited with the Straw Hat crew.

When Ace appeared before everyone, Luffy jumped up excitedly.

"Ace! What are you doing here?"

Luffy shouted loudly, his face beaming with joy.

“I went to Yuba Green to see someone and had some business to discuss. I got lost in the desert and never expected to run into you all.”

Ace said with a smile, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

It turns out that Ace's goal was also the Yuba Green Land.

With the sponsorship of Mizui Village, the Straw Hat Pirates no longer had to endure the hardships they had faced before.

With ample food and water, as well as comfortable transportation, they were able to move much faster.

On the way, Nami finally couldn't help but ask Vivi about the rebel army.

Vivi's expression turned serious. She took a deep breath and began to tell the story of the rebel army's predecessor, the Sasha Group.

It turns out that the Sasha Gang was formed by Vivi and the current rebel leader, Kou Sha.

Yes, one of the rebel leaders in the Kingdom of Alabasta is none other than Princess Vivi of Alabasta.

This fact surprised everyone.

Kou Shawei was my childhood friend. He was a bit of a goofball, but he had a kind heart.

The original intention of Weiwei and her friends in forming the Sasha Group was to help those living in poverty.

However, as time went on, Koza's ideas changed.

Kou Shah became increasingly radical, and he didn't know how to vent his passion.

Later, in order to stop his behavior, the king commissioned Vivi's teacher, Toto, to develop the city of Yuba, hoping to improve the local living conditions.

Under these circumstances, Vivi had no choice but to hand over the Sasha Group to Kou Sha...

On the way, Ace encountered his target, a bounty hunter named Scorpion.

Yes, Zoro's colleague.

This bounty hunter, Scorpion, was carrying a photograph and boasting that he had defeated Blackbeard.

In reality, he was only after fame, and he recklessly challenged Ace to a duel, just to prove something to his child.

To prove that I am not a coward.

Fanny was also taken aback when he saw the scorpion.

He recognized the scorpion as the bird-riding passerby who had been blown away by the aftershocks of his battle with Blackbeard.

Scorpion was unaware of Ace's power and continued to spout nonsense.

But when he truly witnessed the cruelty of the Phoenix Illusion Fist, he finally became afraid.

It's not that Ace was that strong, it's just that this guy actually thought he could take down Ace with bombs.
