Sand is the only thing that Dan could see. Everywhere he looked, he saw sand. He only hoped to travel the right way to the main town in the island of Alabasta. But he saw it. And another one. And yet another one. There were three exact replicas of of the town to which he was heading. He took some water out and drank it, and the images merged into one town. He ran forward, as fast as he could, and fell on the ground. He slowly moved through the town.
Dan wasn't so much of a man easy to notice. He bandaged his cyborg body-parts so he won't stand out too much.
Then, a voice came through the town, ''King Nefertari Cobra and his daughter, Princess Nefertari Vivi are searching for men who are willing to help in securing the removing of icebergs in the Drum Island and bringing them here. Good reward for those who help.''
Dan noticed the Den Den Mushi on the pole with many speakers around him. He knew that this occasion might not occur again, and thus he aimed to go the castle as fast as possible.
Already there he saw a man, looking nearly like a bird. Devil Fruit user? thought Dan, but dared not to ask.
''Are you here to go to Drum Island and transport the icebergs?'' asked the man.
Dan noticed this man holding a paper with very little writing on it, ''Yes, yes I am actually.'' said Dan.
''I warn you. You seem like a stranger, thus strange to you might be those waters. Many pirates might try to steal the icebergs and hold them for ransom. If you are still willing, then proceed. Tell me your name, and we will depart tomorrow.'' said the bird-like man, and pointed towards the distant docks.
''Pirates and storms are nothing to me. I am... a man of very little fear, and even less common sense. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And the name is Dan... don't forget it.'' said Dan, grinning, and moved towards the docks.
