For some reason, seeing Li Wei's smile made Luo Meier's heart skip a beat. She exclaimed in panic, "Wait, Li Wei, what are you trying to do? Why do I have this bad feeling?"
Then she saw Li Wei jump off the chair and put his hands on the ground.
"Structural adjustment".
Boom boom boom——
The land of Alabasta, the entire island, began to tremble violently.
"Li Wei, stop right now!"
Luo Meier wanted to stop her.
"late."
The entire island became bumpy.
As time went on, the inhabitants of the entire kingdom felt that their vision had changed drastically, as if... the sun was more scorching than before.
Those living near the sea could see by comparing it to the ocean that the entire Alabasta had risen thousands of meters into the air.
Alabasta, under Li Wei's power, has become Sky Island!
P.S.: The five-watch achievement has been achieved!
By the way, could we pre-order next month's monthly pass...? I'd like to see how many monthly passes I can still get each month now...
Chapter 392 The Desperate Prison
Apart from the residents living near the sea, the other reincarnators were the first to feel this change.
Consequently, many reincarnators' expressions changed slightly, because they knew very well what it meant to elevate an entire kingdom island to the heavens single-handedly.
In the original work, Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world among the Four Emperors, could at most create a tsunami with his Devil Fruit power, tilting an island. Even so, he was already called the strongest.
But what if we send an island to the sky?
This is not the same as simply tilting an island. Perhaps Shiki could do it with his Devil Fruit ability, but that would be because he has an advantage in that area.
The abilities of that person named Tianzai Li Wei were beyond their comprehension. Or was he actually just creating a smokescreen, and there were other capable individuals on his side?
This extraordinary individual possesses the same Devil Fruit ability as Shiki, which allows objects to lose their weight and float.
However... if it's about that kind of ability, they can't figure out how that person got through the selection rounds. Was it just good luck to encounter only weak people?
Even the latter speculation was not good news for them. Making an island fly was a physically demanding task, even with an advantage in ability.
In the world of One Piece, the cost of activating abilities is stamina, at least that's how it appears on the surface.
The physical exertion required to unleash an ability on the entire island is unimaginable. Theoretically, after the six months of restrictions, no one among the reincarnators should have reached this level. Even if someone did, they would be among the very top few.
The group, who were already harboring some doubts and caution, were now even more wary. Most of them were now prepared to face an enemy of the same level as their leader, the inheritor.
Orves gritted his teeth, his face grim, and said, "It's just a petty trick. With a major battle looming, daring to waste your energy like this only hastens your own death."
In fact, they couldn't understand why the other party would expend so much energy on such a meaningless thing.
……
Alabasta Royal Palace —
Li Wei stood outside the palace balcony and looked at the sky. "I feel like something's missing."
Behind Li Wei was Luo Meier, who was chasing after him, scratching and clawing.
"Wow, Li Wei, you bastard, I'll be exhausted if I fly like this!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up.
"Luo Meier, you really are my confidant and good strategist. I was thinking that even though we've flown this high, we've still missed something. Well, some of you can fly, so there's no point in me creating this Sky Island."
As he said this, Li Wei's eyes glazed over. He wasn't daydreaming; rather, he was taking in the general outline of the entire island.
"Structural adjustment, gravitational turbulence."
Li Wei subtly moved his fingers in the air, a seemingly insignificant action. In fact, with Li Wei's actions, gravitational anomalies appeared on the outer edge of the entire Alabasta region. Whether going in or out, one would face irregular gravitational or repulsive forces.
Seemingly still not satisfied, Li Wei continued operating.
"Structural adjustment, airflow."
A fierce wind began to howl around Alabasta, and soon the island was enveloped by a sharp hurricane, turning it into an island covered by the storm.
"Hmm, structural adjustments, micro-adjustments..."
Li Wei then stuffed in some small items that were barely visible to the naked eye.
"Structure adjustment, soul construction."
"Alright, you'll be in charge of the wind. Remember, no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Your name... will be /Aiolus."
Aiolos, like Prometheus and Zeus, is the name of a deity in mythology. However, unlike the latter two, it represents the deity who controls the wind.
Li Wei brought life to the surrounding storm.
From the beginning until now, Li Wei seems to have demonstrated abilities in many different fields, and his scope of expertise has long exceeded the boundaries of a single ability.
In reality, all of this was just a structural adjustment of the ability he had retained; it's just that Li Wei had unearthed and mastered this ability to an extreme level.
What has been shown so far is far from the whole picture; it is merely the tip of the iceberg.
"Alright, construction is complete."
Li Wei looked at his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.
"Holy crap, Li Wei, you bastard, what have you done?!"
Luo Meier could almost hear the howling wind from the edge of the distant island in her ears. Although she wasn't afraid of ordinary storms, how could something that Li Wei had deliberately added be ordinary?
"Nothing much has been done, except that from now on, no life can enter or leave Alabasta," Li Wei replied casually. "You can think of it as Alabasta becoming a giant prison."
"Um..." Luo Meier said shyly, "Li Wei, what's our relationship? We're practically family, right?"
Li Wei replied without hesitation, "No."
"..."
"Given our close relationship, could you..."
"No."
"Can you let me finish?"
"No."
"..."
Luo Meier was about to cry, "Uncle Li Wei, please let me out first, okay? Don't drag us mortals into your duel between big shots."
"Since you're calling me grandpa, granddaughter, shouldn't you fight alongside your grandpa?"
"I don't want to die!" Luo Meier cried.
"Don't worry, after the war is won, Grandpa will tell you this good news at your grave."
In the end, Luo Meier gave up struggling. In her eyes, Li Wei was a big bad guy who bullied her. Except for that time when he generously gave Zeus to her, he was always bad.
Yuzuriha Inori watched this scene silently from the side until Luo Meier ran away in tears. She just smiled gently at Li Wei.
After Luo Meier left, Li Wei started tinkering and busying himself with something.
Seeing this, Weiwei asked curiously, "Li Wei, what exactly are you doing?"
Since her attempts to persuade him were unsuccessful, she gave up. Things had progressed to this point, and she had no choice but to let him interfere.
In addition, her father, Cobra, who was the king of the country, had just persuaded her and analyzed the pros and cons, so after considering everything, she followed this trend.
Now, her father, Kobra, is organizing an evacuation to avoid harming innocent civilians. Initially, most residents were uncooperative, but after Li Wei appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, they eventually succumbed to his logic.
In fact, Li Wei simply reasoned with the people without resorting to violence. It's just that when he was talking, hundreds of Prometheuses were around him breathing fire and hundreds of Zeus were throwing lightning, that's all...
A great battle is imminent.
PAS: My fingers feel like they're about to break, I feel completely exhausted...
We've climbed to seventh place on the weekly update rankings...
The sensitive word list on Shuke is truly baffling... Anything with "/" added together is a sensitive word...
Chapter 393 Strange Paradise, City of Rebirth!
On their way to the capital, the Allied forces led by Orves sensed another change in Alabasta. Upon seeing the howling wind, they immediately understood what was happening.
The first thing that came to their minds was the birdcage of Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the original work. Although what Li Wei was doing was not a birdcage, in their eyes it was a similar act.
"Are they trying to imprison us all here? Not letting a single one escape?"
They sneered inwardly, wondering who would be the hunter and who would be the prey.
However, in the world of reincarnation, some people, whether out of precaution or curiosity, paid extra attention to Li Wei in addition to their own participants.
Those people would have been better off not looking, because once they did, they were shocked.
Their faces turned ashen, as if they'd been cuckolded.
Someone couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't it better to leave some room for maneuver?"
"They're not letting a single one go. Have they not considered how many powerful forces they'll offend?"
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Cobra had already evacuated all the people in the capital yesterday, and at this time, Orves and others also arrived in the capital.
On the balcony of the Aba Rastai Royal Palace, Li Wei sat comfortably in a chair, munching on an apple, watching the group of people entering the city gate in the distance.
"Hey sir, aren't you going to be evacuated?"
Cobra shook his head. "No, as the king of this country, I cannot back down."
"A king should act like a king."
"Besides, as a man, and as a member of the royal family, I can't run away at this time."
Li Wei suddenly said, "How about I turn you into a woman?"
"That way you can run away."
"...Thank you so much, but never mind."
Li Wei said with a hint of regret, "That's really a pity."
Cobra secretly wiped away the cold sweat.
……
As soon as the allied forces entered the city gate, they saw the palace in the capital from afar. Several people were vaguely standing there, but they seemed to have seen them for a short time before walking back, completely ignoring them.
Orves noticed a particularly strange pirate flag hanging in the palace. The flag had a demonic skull on it, against a backdrop of a storm with dark clouds, thunder, and rolling waves. These were not static, but dynamic.
For a moment, Orves didn't understand the principle behind it, only thinking to himself that it was a bit of a trick.
The group walked to the palace, encountering not just anyone along the way, but rather, many strange creatures: enormous books with human-like expressions, houses with arms and legs, a miniature sandbag tornado playing cards, singing and dancing flowers and trees, and a laughing, ink-stained brush chasing a feng shui painting...
"Someone has trespassed on Lord Natural Disaster's territory."
"Yes, someone trespassed."
"They're coming to their deaths! They're coming to their deaths! Waaaaah..."
"Ah... I feel like eating them."
"Lord Natural Disaster has ordered that we are not allowed to act recklessly."
"Oh ho ho? I'll just play along with them for a little while, okay?"
"How long do you think these animals can survive?"
"I don't know, let's see if Lord Tianzai is in the mood to play with them."
"They are dead, and we can exist for a long time again."
……
"Noisy thing."
