It was now the scorching month of June.
The closer they got to Alabasta, the hotter the weather became. The yellow sand filling the sky seemed to suck all moisture from the air, and the dryness felt inescapable.
After bidding farewell to Yukimura, who was heading to Marine Headquarters, Dawn led his men onto the arid land of Alabasta.
