Pirates: Green Bull Marshal

Vidal saw Yixiao and Brooke again.

It turned out that Yixiao and the others flew directly from the sky, which made Vidal very, very envious.

Riding a camel through the desert seemed interesting at first when it was new and exciting, but later on it became boring and bearable.

Eluma is a little different from Rapeseed, and is considered a "lucky riverside city" in Alabasta.

After listening to Prince Kobra's enthusiastic introduction, it turned out that the strait that Vidal had always thought of was actually a big river.

The mother river, ‘River Santaola’!

It pours down from the northernmost tip of Alabasta, and the powerful current speed continuously impacts the lower estuary, preventing seawater from eroding in.

Therefore, Eruma, which has abundant fresh water resources, is said to be the city with the highest vegetation coverage in the entire kingdom.

That’s why it’s also called a ‘green city’.

Vidal noticed this when he was still on the boat. The lush green on the endless sand sea was really too conspicuous.

"Then why don't you build more cities on both sides of the river?" Vidal said and stepped off the boat on the wooden planks.

He looked at the map of the country and found that the only place that was really close to the river was Eruma, which was on the lower reaches, and there was not a single city further up.

Even Yudi and the capital are located half a day's journey from the river.

"First, we are worried that too many cities along the river will cause damage and pollution to the Sundora River." Prince Kobra looked at the 'green city' in the distance and smiled.

"Second, I found that except for Eluma, there are not many trees growing anywhere else, so it is difficult to resist the invasion of wind and sand."

After all, in an environment like the desert, you don't just have a stable water source, you also need shelter from the wind and sand.

"But..." The prince's expression suddenly showed worry.

"But what?"

"However, Wangdu received a report the year before last that the water level at the mouth of the sea had risen by about half a meter. If this situation continues to worsen, the river will become shorter and shorter."

As soon as he mentioned this matter, part of Vidal's memory was brought out. Indeed, Weiwei from the future had said it to the Straw Hats.

The power of the Sentola River was getting weaker and weaker, and seawater was invading in large quantities. At that time, the seawater line had already crossed Eluma.

Coupled with the fact that it hadn’t rained at all in three years, the residents here couldn’t even collect rainwater, and soon this ‘green city’ fell into disrepair.

This can be regarded as the result of the dual effects of natural and man-made disasters.

"Vidal, now you can tell me what you think." Yixiao said, and Kobra, Brook and others also focused their attention.

"Um."

"My idea is very simple. Instead of building a thin windbreak, it is better to find a place with underground water and plan an oasis that can be built into a new city!"

Vidal looked beyond the green Eruma, looking deeper and further into the sand sea. He spent so much time here, not just to make a fuss.

"New oasis, new city?!"

Brooke, Nessin, and Rogers were fine, but for Alabasta people like Ikarim and Nasus, these words were like a bomb exploding in their ears.

For a desert kingdom, what is the concept of an extra oasis?

It represents the population, wealth, and longer-term national development that will skyrocket in a short period of time.

"This...this..." Kobra flushed with excitement, looking at Vidal as if he wanted to believe it but couldn't believe it.

Can this really be done?

"I think it's okay." Vidal showed a confident smile, which made everyone inexplicably have confidence in him.

For Vidal, planning a new city in Alabasta would also be of great benefit, and would not cost much in his plan.

Vidal looked at his adjutant and said, "Rogers, open the map."

"yes."

On the other side, Yixiao's eyes flickered, wondering if Vidal had 'seen' something again?

Vidal had told him about his innate domineering power long ago.

"Let's go here!" At the same time, Vidal pointed to the right at the sea of ​​sand between Yudi and Eluma.

Yes, the place he was pointing to was the future location of Juba!

Let’s not talk about other things about this place, but one thing is certain, that is, there must be groundwater very close to the ground below.

He remembered that Kosha's father, Doto, dug out water by himself, even though it took a whole week.

Next, Vidal did not explain much and led everyone directly through Eluma City and plunged into the vast sea again without stopping.

After walking for less than half a day, Prince Kobra, who was very familiar with the desert environment, reminded him that he had reached the area he pointed to before.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Vidal glanced at the surrounding environment. There were undulating sand dunes everywhere, nothing special.

He lightly stomped his foot, and soon a scene familiar to Kobra appeared four meters in front of him. A lush tree rose from the ground.

After five breaths, Vidal chuckled with satisfaction, "Sure enough, there is water here!"

"Here, is there water here?!" Kobra exclaimed.

When he traveled between Rainland and Eluma, he had walked through this place many times. Who would have thought that it might become a new oasis.

"That's right, there is a large amount of water about fifteen meters underground. If the sand layer here can be cleared, it can be even closer to the ground."

Vidal smiled at the person beside him and said, "You need to take action on this matter."

"Okay."

He smiled and had no objection, but when he subconsciously drew his sword and wanted to use his ability, Vidal suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

"Now that we have determined that there is a large area of ​​groundwater here, we should first plan the layout of the new city."

The main reason is that Vidal doesn't want to stay here for too long. After planning the layout, he can do what he wants to do first.

The rest of the follow-up work will be left to Yixiao and Kobra.

"Please leave this aspect to me."

Ikarem stood up confidently and said; "You only need to tell me the approximate size of the new city and the area that needs to be set aside in advance."

"Okay, then let's set up camp here and discuss it carefully."

Since there are professionals, Vidal will not take on these jobs. After all, he still understands the principle of specialization in the art industry.

But when it comes to building campsites, he is the most professional!

Slowly squatting down, he slapped his palms heavily on the warm sand. As the fruit's power spread, double-story wooden houses rose up from the sand.

Even though Kobra and the others had seen this scene several times, they still found it particularly spectacular. The ability to create a house anytime and anywhere was really convenient.

In fact, Vidal himself is also considering whether to give this move a name or something, such as Four Pillar Family and Lianzhu Family, but he still hopes to have his own characteristics.

"Let's go inside and chat!"
