Long Summary
The Straw Hat finally land near the Sandora River, where they met a colony of Kung-Fu Dugongs. Vivi explains her friend that the animals normally live in sea water, but because of the current drought, the river has become salty. The same happened to the ghost city they enter. Erumalu was once called a green city, but three years without a drop of rain took the best of its inhabitants and Erumalu is nowadays nothing but ruins. Vivi then tells them, that the only town which did not suffer of lack of water was Alubarna, capital of Alabasta and king's residence.

However, two years ago, an "accident" happened in Nanohana, a ship cargo is dropped revealing its content: a gigant amount of Dance Powder. The people in charge of the cargo looked terrified pretending that it was aimed for the king. The Dance Powder is a forbidden material which has the power to generate rainfall but at the expense of the surrounding area, so when after the scandal, it rains nowhere beside near the King palace, people start to get suspicious of Vivi's father, unaware that is in reality a mischivious plan brought by Crocodile. Vivi his determined to not let him continue making her people suffer, and all the Straw Hat are ready to help her.
