However... for some reason, and they couldn't explain why, an ominous premonition of impending doom and impending great events loomed over them like a dark cloud covering the island.
Boom boom boom——
Lightning began to flash in the clouds, and shortly after it covered the entire Alabasta, to the horror of almost everyone, the rolling black clouds rapidly coalesced into a gigantic human face that could be seen from every part of the island.
"Announcing that Alabasta is now under the rule of the great Lord of Calamity, Li Wei."
The sound was solemn, like the might of heaven, and was accompanied by the roar of thunder.
"Announcing that Alabasta is now under the rule of the great Lord of Calamity, Li Wei."
There was no emotional fluctuation; it was simply a dignified voice repeating itself once more.
"All people within the territory of Alabasta shall submit to the rule of the Scourge."
"Proclaim this: All beings in Alabasta—humans, gods, angels, demons…—must not disobey the will of the Scourge."
"Announcement to Alabasta: From this moment forward, no outsiders are permitted to trespass."
……
Orves stared coldly at the face in the sky, "Playing tricks."
Just after Orves uttered those words, the face in the sky seemed to sense it, and its eyes, barely out of shape, turned slightly in Orves's direction.
A thunderclap struck!
Caught off guard, Orves could only manage to summon some insects to defend himself, but under the power of the thunder, they were all reduced to charred ashes in vain.
In the end, it was the man in front of him who drew his sword from his waist and cut the lightning in two.
Orves looked at the man with awe; the man's effortless ability to sever lightning made him even more respectful.
"Interesting, it seems like this is a warning to you."
Orves gritted his teeth, "I'll take men to find the mastermind right away. Since he's so blatantly declaring Alabasta his territory, he certainly won't hide."
"You should know that we've been planning Alabasta for some time now."
The man spoke calmly, without explicitly stating anything, but Orves still understood the subtext.
"I understand, Alabasta... will not be lost."
"Go back."
"Yes, my lord."
Just after Orves bowed and left, the man muttered to himself, "Catastrophe Li Wei? Is he the Catastrophe from the East Blue with a bounty of 300 million, but the Navy branch in the Grand Line doesn't acknowledge him?"
"A bounty of 300 million? That's not bad."
"Unfortunately, he was a bit arrogant."
"A person, the right opportunity..."
Finally, the man muttered some incomprehensible words to himself before gazing into the distance.
"This time, I'm determined to get the rest of the inheritance."
"I am the most authentic successor."
……
Immediately after Orvis left, he used a Den Den Mushi to summon the people scattered throughout Alabasta to gather. Although most of them were gathered here, since that person had given such an order, he would not be careless. Even if it was overkill and making a mountain out of a molehill, he decided to crush them with overwhelming force and give a warning to those who might be hiding in the dark and plotting something.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Soon, people gathered around him.
"Orves, did that lord give an order?"
"That's right, once everyone has arrived, we'll get started immediately."
"Is it related to this sudden change?"
"Someone below said."
"Yes, it's that face of the person pretending to be a ghost..."
As Orves finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up and saw that the dense, dark clouds had gathered into a giant hand a thousand meters long, with thunder and lightning roaring inside. It was pressing down on him with the power of heaven and earth!
"court death!"
Orves roared, and the others, seeing this, did not stand idly by, for they were all within the range of this giant hand.
One counterattack after another was launched by the group, and the black hand was quickly destroyed.
Orves stared coldly at the sky. "What can you do to me?"
However, to his surprise, the face in the sky could actually talk to him.
"I've memorized your scent."
"Relay Lord Natural Disaster's message—"
“I am waiting for you in the palace in the capital of Alabasta.”
"Me? Alone?"
Orves laughed, "That's incredibly arrogant. One person dares to claim he can take over the entire Alabasta?"
"Olves, there might be a trap."
Orves glared at the speaker. "I don't need your reminder. So what if there's a trap? Do you think we can fail if we all attack together?"
"But what if that person isn't here...?"
Orves sneered: "This is such a small matter, why don't you go and ask for instructions?"
The other person immediately shut up.
Within half a day, Alabasta, Orves's group had all assembled and headed towards the royal palace.
PAS: You might not believe it, but this book is in the top ten of the weekly update charts...
Chapter 391 [Fifth Update!] The Earth Overturns, Sky Islands Emerge!
The world of reincarnation, above the Thousand Spirit Star—
This Alabasta incident involved many reincarnated beings, resulting in a large number of forces monitoring the live broadcast.
Therefore, when they saw through their own people that some reincarnators were courting death, they couldn't help but show all sorts of expressions, none of which were anything more than disdain, sneers, mockery, and schadenfreude.
"Which faction is this Li Wei, who is known for his 'natural disasters', from?"
"It's said to be from the Main God Space."
"That rural power?"
“You definitely haven’t investigated thoroughly. This Li Wei is a student abandoned by the Samsara Academy, at least on the surface. I don’t know why he entered the Main God Space. I guess it was part of the Samsara Academy’s plan.”
"A strategic move? A strategic move to let such a thoughtless pawn be deployed?"
"It's a pity. The Samsara Academy must have had some ulterior motives in this, but even such a powerful force misjudged people."
"They probably didn't expect this."
……
"Speaking of which, I noticed that one person from the Myriad Beasts Starfield is missing?"
"It's true, that person from the Yin-Yang Family is also gone."
"Wait, there are several others, not just them..."
What was originally a peaceful situation has now turned into an unexpected deviation, prompting those forces to cautiously inquire about the true situation from those few families.
Some, with a more calculating mindset, will evade responsibility and change the subject, so no matter how much others inquire, they will not get a clear answer.
Those who were more honest advised them tactfully to prepare themselves mentally, without specifying what kind of mental preparation was required.
In conclusion, the attitudes of all parties are consistently ambiguous.
Of course, they didn't really come away empty-handed. Apart from the guy with the yellow balloon head, none of the team leaders were unintelligent. Or rather, the guy with the yellow balloon head trusted Li Wei so much that he didn't even bother to think.
The conclusion of that guess was too alarming; if it were true, it would probably shock the entire cycle of reincarnation.
More often than not, they believed that the families' expressions were either overly pessimistic or simply an attempt to save face by giving themselves a way out of failure.
They felt that this approach was understandable, but at the same time, it inevitably caused dissatisfaction, which was a complaint against those people's threatening rhetoric.
Yes, in their unanimous speculation, the subtext of those families was—
That Li Wei, the one who brings disaster, is a big shot, a super big shot. If your whole family goes up against him, you're all probably doomed.
Who would like to hear this?
After all... they couldn't stop it.
Putting aside the fact that the two worlds have different time flows, the rules of that instance world have changed not only in terms of death, but also in other restrictions and defenses, and more importantly, in the tacit approval of all the forces with ill intentions, which accounts for the vast majority of all forces.
This is the perfect opportunity to brazenly inflict trauma on those who are different from us.
……
Samsara Academy's side—
Koro-sensei said leisurely, "That bastard is up to something big again."
The Queen of Slaughter calmly took a sip of tea. "Yes, she's stirring up trouble again."
……
Alabasta Royal Palace —
Weiwei angrily confronted Li Wei, "Ugh, Li Wei, how could you just take it upon yourself to claim Alabasta as yours!"
Li Wei sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and Yuzuriha Inori was obediently feeding him grapes.
"Come on, if it weren't for your navy blue hair, I wouldn't bother with this stupid thing for you."
"Pah! The whole country! If you keep doing this, the navy will think we're a pirate gang."
Li Wei curled his lip in disdain. "What's there to be afraid of? Since I've already said that Alabasta will be my territory from now on, I'll definitely protect you. Don't even mention the Navy, even if all the admirals, vice admirals, a bunch of small fry, plus the Seven Warlords and the Four Emperors all come together, I can make them kneel and sing."
"Sing? Sing what?" Vivi asked curiously.
"It's getting cold."
"Cool?" Weiwei asked, puzzled. "What song is that?"
"Hmm...that's right. You don't know this song? Let me put it this way: you can think of it as a song that is usually sung by people on their deathbed to bid farewell to the world..."
“Li Wei, I know you’re very capable, but…” Weiwei said speechlessly, “You’re getting too arrogant.”
"By the way, you're the one who taught me the word 'inflation'."
"You used to say that Luo Meier was arrogant, but now you're even more arrogant than her."
"Is it meaningful to compare a person with a brain to a person without a brain?" Li Wei asked. "If you want to make a comparison, it would be better to compare me to a pig."
Weiwei chuckled and said, "Li Wei, if Luo Meier hears this, she'll beat you up."
"Don't worry, that girl is probably off somewhere having fun right now. I reckon if she saw what I did, she'd think I was courting death and run away in fear."
Just then, a voice rang out from outside—
"Li Wei, you bastard! Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't value loyalty? I kindly came here to help you sneak away, and you're talking badly about me behind my back."
Luo Meier walked in, huffing and puffing.
"Seriously, what got into you? How could you do something like this?"
"It was pretty cool," Luo Meier advised, "Now that you've finished showing off, let's run away quickly before they arrive."
"run?"
Li Wei rolled his eyes at Luo Meier, "Come on, I knew you couldn't say anything constructive. In all these years since I've known you, you've either been a coward or a coward, and now you're telling me to run away."
"Can't you, a grown woman, be a little braver?"
"Can't you be a little more assertive?"
"Nonsense, are you coming or not? If you don't come, I'm coming too!" Luo Meier threatened Li Wei, "Let me tell you, if I'm here, it's fine, but if I'm not, you won't have a chance of survival."
Li Wei immediately sneered, "You've reminded me of something; maybe someone's sneaking away?"
