Chapter 4: Erumalu, the City of Green, and the Kung Fu Dugongs!

(episode 96)

On the ship after Ace was invited on, Vivi sat downstairs, deep in thought, when Sanji came in. "Tea's ready. Come on up to the kitchen."

"Thank you, Sanji-san!"

In the kitchen, Usopp and Luffy began goofing off, with a laughing Venus as the audience across the table. "Heya! I'm Captain Rice Ball Usopp!" The sniper had stuck his finger through his onigiri rice ball, to look like his nose. He moved his hand to a snowman made of rice. "Oh! And who are you?!"

"I'm a riceman!" Luffy beamed. The "riceman" had a pair of forks for arms, a sausage for a nose, and meatballs for eyes.

As Venus laughed, Sanji whacked the two with frying pans. "Quit playing with our food!" He scolded, Venus grimacing in surprise, as Ace couldn't help but smirk. "If you got free time, go wash dishes, or something! Geez!" He grumbled. "I need to finish our packed meals before we cross the river!" He rolled up his sleeves, and began his work.

"Need a hand?" Ace asked, to his surprise.

"No, no," Sanji replied, "You are a guest on board. Just sit back, and relax."

Ace's smirk turned into a warm smile. "All right."

Sanji glanced to his left, and to his frustration, Luffy and Usopp were washing the dishes in the mop bucket from swabbing the deck. "Don't wash the dishes in that mop bucket!"

When he felt a gaze on him, Ace turned to his left; Venus was looking straight at him, elbow on the table, her cheek on her knuckles, and a lovestruck grin on her face, as she ate. "H-hi. Venus, right?"

"Mm hmm," She nodded.

Usopp watched her, as he and Luffy were forced to the sink. Through his scrubbing, he tried to push away his feelings of jealousy; why couldn't he be the one she's fawning over? Ace seemed nice, and he was definitely a cool guy, but he didn't know her like Usopp did.

Outside, a serene Chopper was laying on the stairs. "What a nice breeze!" The "breeze" came from Zoro swinging a giant barbell just a foot away.

Holding her teacup, Vivi walked up the stairs, as Nami was by the prow. "Nami-san, I'd like to land the ship here for a moment."

"Eh? What for?"

"I have an important task for Karoo."

"Karoo?"

After docking, the crew, sans Zoro and Ace, stood on the ground, as Vivi gave Karoo a letter. "Karoo, I want you to go to Alubarna Palace on your own, and deliver this letter to my father. I've written down everything Igaram and I learned about Crocodile, and Baroque Works' schemes. And that I've returned to Alabasta alive with supportive friends." Karoo began to feel nervous. "Can you do it? You'll have to cross the desert on your own." He saluted with a confident quack, before she put the letter in his coat. "Listen. You have to drink your water with care in the desert."

"Karoo! Good luck!" Luffy beamed.

"Now let my father know this kingdom can be saved!" With another quack, Karoo sped off, briefly stopping for a sip, before continuing. "Drink your water with care!" Vivi watched, as he disappeared over the dunes. "Karoo... thank you."

"I knew Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords, was in this country," Ace remarked, "But a pirate trying to steal a kingdom? Sounds like a bad joke." He turned, and leaned back against the railing. "A pirate dropping anchor in one spot, and settling down? Don't tell me he's trying to usurp the throne."

"Alright!" Luffy pumped his fists up, as Sanji and the girls climbed back on the Merry.

"Hold on!" Usopp shouted from the rope ladder. "I'm not on board yet!"

"Me neither!" Venus added from the ground.

"There could be another side to this takeover thing," Ace continued, as Usopp helped Venus up.

"Another side?" Zoro asked.

"Some sort of deeper goal."

"We're finally here!" Luffy announced.

"We're finally going into the desert!" Chopper added. "I bet it'll be hot."

"It gets over 50 c in the daytime!" Nami informed, as she walked down the stairs, now in a more covering, white cowl-neck robe.

"Eh?! It does?!" Chopper slid down the rail.

"What happened, Nami-san?!" Sanji exclaimed in shock upon seeing her. "Where did your dancer outfit go?!"

To his despair, Vivi was in a dark blue robe with white pipelinings on the hood, and down the front, while Venus was in a black robe with a cowl hood bearing a silver Wiccan symbol on the collar, and a spike-hemmed cape with dark purple lining. "Aah! Not you too, Vivi-chan! Why are you dressed like that?!"

"In the desert, any exposed skin will wind up terribly sunburned!" Vivi explained.

Sanji perked up when he saw the shortest girl; she didn't look any different from before. "Venus-chan! I-"

"Here's yours, Venus-san," Vivi handed her a black robe, and she pulled it on.

"Thanks! It looks great!" The bottom front of the hood was kept together with a silver Wiccan symbol on the front, while the back had a spiky-hemmed cape with a dark purple lining. Over her shoulders was a capelet-like layer of black.

"No, Venus-chan!" The chef cried out. "Change back!"

She turned to him with a bemused look, as she pulled the hood over her head. "Sorry to burst your perverted bubble, but I'd rather not get sunburned, thank you very much."

A depressed Sanji laid on the floor. "This is terrible... my dancer girls..." He started rolling in circles.

"Put this on, Luffy-san," Vivi handed him some new clothes.

"Okay! Thank you!"

"Let's get ready to disembark," Zoro took charge.

"Yeah," Usopp agreed.

"Okay! Let's land!" Luffy announced.

An annoyed Venus yanked Sanji up by his own clothes. "On your feet."

Zoro was about to haul up the anchor, when he saw something float up. "What's that?" On the shore, as everyone watched, a group of strange creatures resembling seals with turtle shells jumped up and looked ready to fight. "Turtles?"

"Aren't those seals?" Luffy asked.

"Kung Fu Dugongs!" Vivi exclaimed.

"They're kinda cute," Venus smiled a little.

""If you wanna come on shore, you'll have to beat me first!"" Chopper translated the leader's threat. ""Or else go back to the other shore, cowards!" Is what he says."

A confident Usopp stood on the railing. "I can't sit by quietly, when someone calls me a coward! Let's do it!" He leaped towards the Dugongs.

"Wait! Usopp-san!" Vivi called after him, and within seconds, he was defeated. "Kung Fu Dugongs are strong!"

"Usopp-kun!" Venus' eye widened in horror. She was wrong; they weren't cute at all!

"Stay back, Venus-san!" Vivi kept her from jumping in.

Luffy managed to easily defeat another. "One is winning over there!" Nami pointed out.

"Winning is bad too!" Vivi exclaimed.

Luffy watched as his opponent stood up, then to his confusion, bowed before him. "Huh?"

"It's a Kung Fu Dugong rule that if someone loses, they become the winner's pupil!" Vivi explained.

"That's very martial arts-ish," Zoro remarked.

The rest of the Dugongs gathered around Luffy. "The number of pupils just went up!" Vivi gawked.

"Alright, everyone! After me! Stance!" On Luffy's command, they all held out their right flippers. "No! Like this!" They copied his pose accurately. "Yeah! Now go like this!" They continued to follow his movements, as Venus began sneaking over. "That's it! Like this! Like this! Like this! Like this!"

"Usopp-kun?" She hauled him back to the ship while the Dugongs were distracted.

"Alright! Let's set out for Yuba!" Luffy announced.

"Hold on, now!" Zoro noticed them all lined up behind him in groups. "Are you bringing them with us?!"

"You can't, Luffy!" Nami scolded.

"The Dugongs can't cross the desert," Vivi said more gently.

Their hearts swelled when two of them hugged Luffy's legs, like they were begging him not to leave. 'So cute...' They turned away to talk privately. "I don't know why, but I feel like we're doing something very sad."

"Me too," Vivi agreed, "What should we do?"

"I know!" Chopper chimed in, and began sniffing everyone's bags. "Let's see here..."

"What're you doing?" Sanji asked.

"Here!" Chopper held out a chicken leg to the Dugongs. "You can have this! So stay here, okay?" He screamed in terror when they crowded right to him, and he began getting carried away. "Help!"

"Chopper!" Usopp exclaimed in concern.

Before long, after an attempted theft on Luffy's part, the crew made their leave, with the Dugongs waving in farewell. "See ya!" He waved back, while walking backwards.

"Hey now, Luffy!" Nami glared. "Do you understand the current situation?!"

"They said they were coming with me, so why couldn't we let them?"

"We couldn't go to any city with that big of a group! You're so dumb! Honestly! We would've been in big trouble, had Chopper not persuaded them!"

"Yeah!" Chopper agreed. "They kept saying, "We'll accompany you!" They really would've come, if we hadn't given them food!"

"Sheesh!" Sanji griped. "Thanks to you, our food supply's gotten a lot smaller!"

"He knows how to cause trouble," Ace remarked.

"That's for sure!" Suddenly, Vivi stopped at the top of a dune, with Zoro, Usopp, and Venus catching up. Before them was a city that seemed to have been overtaken by a sandstorm. "What's this, Vivi-chan?" Sanji asked.

"Is this the town of Yuba?" Luffy added.

"No..." Vivi replied, "This is Erumalu. It used to be known as the City of Green."

Luffy looked on curiously. "City of Green?"

Vivi turned to the group with a serious face. "The sight of this town explains everything. What the Baroque Works organization has done to this country. What the people of Alabasta are going through."

"Wow!" Luffy exclaimed in awe at their surroundings, as they trekked on. There was merely dried-out trees, and buildings peeking out of the sand. "There's nothing here at all!"

"Yes," Vivi agreed, "It's a ghost town now, but up until just recently, it was a thriving city full of greenery!"

Zoro lightly kicked a tree trunk, and small pieces broke off. "This place was?"

"Rain was always scarce, but even so, the city was able to manage by saving every last drop of rainwater it could. But for three years now, not a single drop of rain has fallen in any part of this country."

"For three years?!" Sanji asked in shock.

"That long?!" Chopper added.

"But even without rain, what about the river we just crossed?" Zoro pointed out.

"Yeah!" Usopp agreed. "Couldn't they just pipe water in from that big river?"

"The answer to that is up ahead," Vivi replied, and they kept walking, "Never in the thousands of years of Alabasta's history has the rain stopped completely. But there was one place where the rain fell more than usual: Alubarna, the capital. The city with the king's palace. The people called it the King's Miracle; until what happened that day, at least."

"Dance Powder?!" Nami guessed in surprise.

"You've heard of it?" Luffy asked her.

"Yes. It's also known as Rain-Summoning Powder."

"Rain-summoning?" Chopper asked.

"I'd only heard stories about it, but a researcher in a country where it doesn't rain created it. By creating a misty smoke from it, and letting it rise into the sky, you can artificially cause it to rain. That's what Dance Powder is."

"That does sound like a miracle," Venus remarked.

Luffy suddenly pounded his fist in his palm. "Oh! I get it! You mean that mystery powder! I ate some a while back! It tastes really bad!"

"It isn't food," Nami sneered, as she passed by him.

"It's for making rain," Zoro followed her.

"What?!" Luffy exclaimed in frustration. "You think I'm lying, don't you?! Hey, you!"

"Hold on!" Usopp chimed in over the captain's fussing. "Venus-chan had a point earlier. Wouldn't something like that be perfect for this country?"

"As the name suggests, the country that developed Dance Powder was almost happy enough to dance at first. But there was a big catch: the neighboring country had a drought. Understand? Dance Powder quickly and artificially matures clouds that would normally grow into rain clouds further downwind, and causes them to rain. So-"

"Oh, I get it!" Usopp cut in. "It steals rain that would've normally gone to a neighboring country!"

"Eventually, war broke out between the two countries, and many lives were lost as a result," Nami continued, "Ever since, the World Government has put a worldwide ban on the production, and possession of Dance Powder."

"Powder that can bring both happiness and dread when used," Usopp remarked.

"When all that Dance Powder was brought into the port town, Alabasta was in the middle of a strange weather phenomenon where rain fell nowhere but in the town where the king lived."

"Hold on, Vivi!" Luffy angrily interrupted. "That means your dad is the bad guy here!"

"You idiot!" Sanji bonked him with a heel to the head, and kept at it. "He was framed! Vivi-chan's father would never do any such thing! Never... never..."

"Of course, my father had nothing to do with it, but at around the same time, a massive amount of Dance Powder was found inside the palace."

"They even had people working inside the palace?" Zoro asked.

"What's this road, Vivi-chan?" Sanji noticed a visible path before them.

"This was a canal that used to bring water in from the Sandora River." The crew were surprised at that. "Someone destroyed this canal too. With its canal gone, the City of Green could no longer secure water. As if praying, the people continued to wait, but rain never came." Chopper dropped a pebble down a well, but there was a thump rather than a splash. "Ever since the Dance Powder incident, distrust in the king grows daily."

"And it's all how Crocodile planned, huh?" Zoro guessed.

"And then the fighting finally began. To escape the fighting, the exhausted people abandoned the city, and left for other oases in search of water." Vivi suddenly stopped walking. "And then... the City of Green withered away."

After some silence, as a stronger breeze blew by, everyone was on alert at a strange sound. "Huh? Is that someone's voice?!" Nami exclaimed.

"Is it the rebel army?!" Chopper asked.

"Don't tell me Baroque Works has been following us!" Usopp glared.

Everyone waited, ready to fight, but no one came out. "No, it's just wind," Ace said.

"It has to be someone's voice!" Luffy insisted.

"It's coming from all directions!" Usopp looked every which way cautiously. "What do we do, big brother?!"

"There's no danger. It's just wind blowing across the town, and echoing off old buildings."

"What if it's a ghost?" Venus asked around, with too much interest.

"Don't say that!" Nami scolded.

Vivi listened carefully, as her hood blew off her head. "It's as if... it's as if the city of Erumalu is crying."

Suddenly, a small tornado formed, and was heading right for them. "Here it comes!" Before they could move, the tornado blew right through them.

"Hold on, Venus-chan!" Usopp held her close protectively, as she pulled her hood down with one hand, and kept Chopper safe with the other. They braced through the whole thing, as Luffy noticed something unusual: darker trails of sand. The small storm then ended as soon it it began, so they were able to relax. "Whoa, what was with that wind?" Usopp wondered aloud.

"It's like it came out of nowhere," Venus added, as Chopper jumped out of her arms.

Luffy turned, and saw a man laying on the ground. "Someone collapsed!" Nami pointed out, as he made an urgent beeline.

"There are still people in this city?!" Vivi exclaimed. Everyone followed the captain, but they soon stopped; it was a long-withered skeleton in a cloak. She dropped to her knees, and softly touched the skull. "What did my father... what did the citizens of this country ever do? These people have worked so hard to live, being natives of a desert island who are forced to fight with nature. Yet he destroyed their lives!" She started to cry, now doubting her father. "What gives him the right to do that?! What?!" Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji approached an abandoned temple. "All the while, as one of the Seven Warlords, he pretends to be a hero of the people! No one realizes he's deceiving the entire country! I..." She was oblivious to a now angry Luffy drawing his fist back. "Can't let him get away with this!" He suddenly punched a hole through the wall, sending the temple crumbling.

The rest turned to see it falling to the ground. "Geez, you're such kids," Zoro griped. As Ace helped Vivi bury the poor soul, topping the makeshift grave with a branch, the trio came marching back.

"Vivi! Let's get moving!" Luffy ordered, and cracked his shoulder. "I'm itching to do this now!" Venus and the boys followed him, as he started walking again.

"Let's go to Yuba!" Vivi turned to Zoro and Nami.

"That's where the rebel army is, right?" The former asked.

The princess stood straight in determination. "Yes. I'm going to persuade their leader to stop the rebellion."

Zoro raised an eyebrow. "Persuade?"

"All of Alabasta's calamities are Crocodile's doing! I'm going to tell him the truth, and have him stop the pointless shedding of blood!"

"Got it." With that, Zoro went to catch up with the rest.

Vivi looked back at the grave, then followed the crew deeper into the desert.

how do you deal with the fact that the people who aren’t meant to be everything to you aren’t? how do you deal with the fact that you weren’t supposed to make them up to be everything anyway? how do you deal with the fact that this heartache is your fault to begin with?

[kookies2000]

In the 1st film, Cooper is based on animal trolls in the 1960s.

🤣🤣🤣 I'm super happy Dreamworks redesigned the Trolls. The other trolls in the 1st are also based on different types of trolls in the 60s. Poppy and Branch are the Goodluck Trolls. Suki is the Treasure Troll (Gems on the bellybutton or anywhere). Cooper is the Animal Troll. They created new ones in the 1st film, Teacup Troll (Smidge) Giant Troll (Biggie) Glitter Trolls (Guy Diamond) and Art Trolls (Satin and Chenille). The thing is, when the film came out, more kids were interested in Coopers design, so I guess that inspired them to give him his own story. Which really worked to their advantage. But at the same time, I feel like they planned ahead as well because Dreamworks has the habit of doing that. They were already working on Shrek 2 before Shrek was released. And they have 6 Kung Fu Panda films planned since the 1st one came out. They did state they were planning on making Trolls a franchise if the 1st movie was a success almost ten years ago.

Also, I wish we had more screen time with Cooper, too. Funk Trolls in general or more on the other tribes. The film is still a kids' film for toddlers, so pacing is extremely fast. Especially for a film that is tackling racism, cultural differences, and communication to toddlers. Gotta get to the point for Gen Alpha.

But hey, fan fiction is here!!! 😂 We can just create our own.

Following again a more or less chronological order, this scene is not important nor does it have any remarkable animation compared to what I have shown before but it makes me laugh as Brach is 100% in favor of hiding, the madman is covered in camouflage in a second! I guess some habits are hard to break

Either way, I thought the background they gave Cooper was a great idea, I don't know if they made Cooper's design thinking about how this would influence the second movie or if they made the funk trolls based on Coper's design. Whatever was the order in which they did things I highly approve of developing characters that appeared previously but were not very relevant. Although in any case I think they fell short and that they could have explored it much, much more, for example, showing why Cooper looks for trolls similar to him if in the previous film he did not show any kind of insecurity regarding the subject or something like that, a flashback might have been nice

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows as the man, who is named Davos—yeah Elizabeth, really rude of you not to ask his name when you stumbled into his place—explained who he was and what he did. “My mind is completely at ease, as it seems I came into the right place. I hope you didn’t take offense at my question, but I was merely curious. I’m sorry, Davos, about your home. I imagine you miss it very much.”

She felt like she was being X-rayed the longer Davos stared at her. She felt goosebumps rise on her arms, and her mind raced. Tony Stark? The Tony Stark?! NO WAY!! Why was he affiliated with a Kung-Fu instructor? The question was quickly suppressed when she reminded herself that it was, really, none of her business.

Embarrassment heated her cheeks when he asked if she wanted a lady to accompany her instead. “Oh no, no, no it’s not that! I really do appreciate your help, Davos, and would be very glad to have your assistance, it’s just....complicated. You see, now that I’m in here I’m very reluctant to go back to my townhouse now. I....well.”

Elizabeth rubbed her hands over her face, as if the action would bring the right words forth. I should’ve never gone out with my friends tonight, she thought. To a place where anyone could’ve seen you!

She dropped her hands when he offered some tea. “Tea sounds marvelous. I could use it, as I just came from a restaurant and I had a little bit to drink.” Elizabeth smiled kindly at Davos. “I know I am acting very strangely, but I promise I’ll explain everything over tea. I feel I owe you an explanation, especially since I’ve barged in at an odd hour.”

The Steel Serpent tilts his head inquisitively, but decorum wins out as it usually does, and he nods.

     “Yes, very well. Perhaps a bit of caffeine, to aid in your sobriety.”

He opens an arm toward the plain but clean and functional table at the corner of the workout room, past a sea of well-padded floor mats.  

He proceeds to the kitchenette in the corner, where large iced water coolers stand, and where a hot plate is prepared to pour tea of several varieties at the parts of training that serve as places of respite.  He produces two utterly immaculate ceramic teacups.  

     “Green, oolong, or herbal?” he asks, with the same almost unnervingly vigilant stare.

Anyu Zhang Info(Update: 7/3/2020)

She’s a princess from the Nothern Wei, specifically Jinshe, the country of the Golden Snake and one of the biggest countries in the Northern Wei.

Anyu also has two siblings: an older borther and a younger brother. She loves them both dearly, but a little bittersweet because her father pays the utmost close attention to her older brother, Hua Zhang, who’s the future King of JinShe.

She loves her parents both dearly, but can never see eye to eye with her father. Mainly because he expects her to grow up as a wife and mother, not a queen, warrior, or even a politician. Hence why he doesn’t give her private lessons or sparring sessions due to her disposition.

As a result, Anyu secretly trained and studied without her father’s permission. Her mother found out though, and considering that she was a former general of Jinshe, she didn’t stop Anyu, but encouraged her by giving her lessons and allowing her to spar with the other soldiers and servants, if they volunteer.

Anyu can sometimes be seen sparring with a soldier or a servant. One time Hua Zhang, was looking for Anyu because he need to borrow something, only to find her in a training room where she has already put one of the servants in a headlock.

As one of the many fiercest martial artists at DCA, she’s a blackbelt in Judo, Taekwando, Kung-fu, and Karate. Also specializes in self defense and will fight anyone, but only when necessary and if you make her angry enough;;

Dangerously well adept at sword fighting and fencing. She’s very swift with her moves and can easily slice someone’s head off if provoked.

Back at the palace at Jinshe, she has a whole room filled with swords and belts achieved in martial art lessons. She managed to get one after her mother found about her secret training

She wields three weapons and has them with her at DCA.

Her unique magic is “bare my scales” where she can turn into a giant white cobra with venomous fangs. With one bite, it knock out an opponent within seconds, but she bites too hard, the venom that was seeped in would paralyze them from the neck down. In some cases, it can cause fatal poisoning which leads to death. As a giant cobra, Anyu tries to be somewhat gentle when she fights because she doesn’t to harm or poison anyone.

Despite her athleticism, she still has to maintain her princess appearance. So whenever she’s faced with a problem or if a prince/student tried to make advances at her, she can’t suplex them or hiss at them. Thus, all she can really do is kindly smile at them with her fangs out as teeeny little warning to act appropriately.

Suprisingly, her worst subject is basic etiquette! Despite her royal status as a princess, she’s not the most elegant out there; so she needs more proper, royal-like manners. So every single time she’s in Florence’s class, she tends to forget to sit up, or accidentally drop a teacup. She’s doing her best though!

Although sparring and sword wielding are her favorite things do in her past time, she likes writing calligraphy and meditating. She has tendency to paint words of wisdom onto her wrist though.

Anyu spends her time at the gymnasium where she spars with other students and trains by herself. However, if she’s not there, she would be seen in the forge sharpening her blades or making other things. Other times she’s in the prayer temple or at the koi pond to either feed the fish or just quietly play with them.  

Also has a pet snake named Misu!
