Judging from the information received, the Zerg had previously been recklessly making plans for the worlds under the jurisdiction of the Samsara Academy.
The Zerg matter was originally handled very discreetly. The investigation in the Great Reincarnation World was not limited to finding clues in the real world or questioning relevant personnel.
More often, they rely on certain mystical techniques for deduction.
The Zerg had previously invested heavily in this area, concealing this secret. After all, the Zerg are an inexhaustible race, and it's not surprising that some exceptionally gifted individuals would emerge over the years. It's not unusual for a daring ruler to have such thoughts.
Moreover, they were prepared for their scheme to be exposed, and were ready to offer generous gifts to the Samsara Academy as an apology and compensation at any time.
Then, a few powerful figures with high status will be executed, and that will be enough to show their sincerity. To put it bluntly, the Guilty Crown world just happens to be a huge temptation for them. In the context of the entire Samsara world, Guilty Crown is just so-so, barely considered a mid-range small-scale dungeon world.
Otherwise, the Zerg would not have dared to make this plan; they had clearly considered the pros and cons thoroughly.
While outsiders were casting their glances, pondering the truthfulness of Xingyu's words and whether their understanding was biased or limited, in the world of One Piece—
Not long after Xingyu finished speaking, his face turned deathly pale: "Everyone thinks that the vice dean is a powerful figure with extraordinary abilities, but who knows that he is just an old man in his twilight years, not even a god?"
"Otherwise, why would I have left the academy?"
"Since the academy deceived me, it is only natural for me to leave."
"As for the academy's nurturing grace... let's not talk about such things."
Xingyu coldly replied, "With my talent, why would I need the academy's training?"
"You are very powerful. Perhaps you have also noticed that the vice dean does not even have a godhood. It is said that he swept all sides in the battle of Fallen Reincarnation. Now it seems that it was either a deceitful lie, or... he exhausted his strength in that battle and is no longer what he used to be."
Xingyu continued to reveal the great secrets of the Samsara Academy, and now he had no need to hold back at all.
"Hard to believe, isn't it? I never even imagined it at first. It wasn't until I advanced to the King level that my ego inflated, and I wanted to test the Vice Dean's abilities..."
"Who would have thought that a mere newly promoted king-level junior, even through a sneak attack, could make a super god, who was rumored to be incredibly powerful, cough up blood?"
"Although he was trying to cover up and explain something, having spent a considerable amount of time at the academy and learned a great deal, how could I not see the panic in the old man's eyes? His acting skills were even worse than those of a newcomer who had just enrolled."
"If he were truly so unfathomable, how could such a powerful figure display such pathetic behavior?"
"So ever since that day, my impression of the academy has been completely overturned."
"A small place that deceives the world and steals fame."
"Finished?"
Li Wei looked down at Xingyu from his high vantage point.
"I have one last question. Logically speaking, with your abilities, you should have been able to detect something amiss with the vice dean. Why didn't you stop me from saying these things, even though you were on the academy's side?"
Xingyu sneered: "Unless you also have grievances against the academy and just want to use me as a mouthpiece, right?"
"ridiculous."
"The words of ants are not worth taking seriously," Li Wei said indifferently.
The implication was that he didn't care what Xingyu said at all.
Li Wei was about to deliver the final blow to Xingyu when suddenly his body trembled, and a voice echoed in his mind.
PAS: So it turns out that working yourself to the bone and skipping meals can both be addictive...
Once you interrupt or start something, it's very difficult to get back into the zone.
Ahhhhh——
Please add this...
Oh no, I accidentally missed the deadline for graduate registration... Now I'm trying to find out how to fix this...
I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. I had a stomachache then, and I didn't fill in the correct address for my file—it should be the one closest to my home.
I need to take a short break. My eyesight is really failing me. I thought it was expiring at the end of the month and wasn't worried. But when I took it out today, oh my god...
Chapter 433 One wave subsides, another rises.
"don't want……"
Li Wei's eyes cleared instantly, and he lowered his raised arm.
"I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either."
Li Wei said calmly, "Killing you would only be a relief for you. Go back to the academy and repent properly."
After saying that, Li Wei waved his hand, and the domineering aura wrapped around his arm formed a solidified black chain that wrapped around Xing Yu, imprisoning him.
In his current state, Xingyu has no way of breaking free from these chains. Once they return to the Great World of Reincarnation, Li Wei will naturally have plenty of ways to capture Xingyu.
After taking control of Xingyu, other reincarnators who had previously harbored ambitions all suppressed their ulterior motives and obediently participated in the banquet.
The former capital, now the City of Rebirth, which had suffered considerable damage from the aftermath of the battle, miraculously began to glow with a mysterious light. All the damaged buildings and roads were restored, and even some of the injured were treated.
News of the incident on Disaster Island spread quickly and was distributed around the world by Newsbird.
In the reports, images of Li Wei's unparalleled boxing skills and his ability to shatter countless stars were placed in the most prominent positions, and news headlines about Li Wei were bolded and enlarged.
Bounty hunter Tianchen Xingyu was decisively killed by Tianzai Liwei!
[Li Wei, the Uncrowned King of the Sea!]
[What's next for Disaster Island? Its claws are reaching out to the whole world!]
[Li Wei, the Cataclysmic Pirate! An Unrivaled Super Pirate!]
……
News about Li Wei and the disaster island emerged one after another like mushrooms after rain.
Despite the variety of rumors, some true and some false, none of these reports contained anything negative about Disaster Island; they all commented on its strength.
Occasionally, when reporters tried to write about the threat posed by the disaster island, their attempts were secretly thwarted by their superiors.
Who would dare to provoke the Island of Calamity now? Perhaps only the Celestial Dragons, who are known as the world's nobles, would dare to challenge the Island of Calamity.
Even among the Celestial Dragons, no one believed they could defeat the Disaster Island, simply because the latter's fearsome reputation was too great.
What's worth savoring in these news stories is a corner of the picture where Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, is quietly eating pastries.
In the news photos, she looked extremely depressed and dejected, even appearing travel-worn, lacking any of the arrogance of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea).
In fact, when she first arrived at Disaster Island, she did have the idea of causing trouble. Although she was defeated by Li Wei's No. 4 Creation Soul Calamity, she just couldn't believe it and felt that there must be some evil or crooked methods involved.
So when she came here, she brought all her family's wealth with her.
However, before she could even start causing trouble, Tianchen Xingyu stepped forward first.
When Big Mom saw the starry sky covering the entire island, she was shocked. She knew that she could only look up to such power, and she believed that Li Wei would be quickly defeated in the face of such a strong person.
Reality slapped her hard in the face, not only shattering her last remaining illusions and pride.
Logically speaking, someone who has reached the level of a Yonko shouldn't be in this situation, but she has been through too much emotional turmoil these past few days and just wants to be a quiet, fat otaku who eats cakes in peace.
After Starry Sky's defeat, the celebration on Disaster Island proceeded as usual, with everyone reveling for a week, as if the previous battle was just a movie, slowly becoming the topic of conversation for everyone.
On the day the banquet was about to end, Li Wei dropped a bombshell.
"If anyone can get to that island and become the Pirate King, in addition to One Piece as Gol D. Roger said, the island of Calamity will personally make a treasure as a surprise gift."
Li Wei's words undoubtedly stirred up a huge wave among them, and even among the native inhabitants of the entire pirate world.
Roger's treasure may seem unreal to many, and some may even disbelieve its existence, but Li Wei's version is different.
Everyone believed that Li Wei kept his word and that the treasure he had prepared would be truly valuable!
In an instant, the entire pirate world was once again swept up in a pirate craze, a craze even greater than Roger's back then.
In addition, what makes the World Government uneasy is that it is said that most of the forces that went to the Disaster Island expressed their intention to join the Disaster Island side.
Moreover, after the banquet, other forces, including nations and organizations such as pirate crews and bounty hunter groups, began to surrender to Disaster Island.
In a short period of time, nearly one-tenth of the world's forces have joined the Cataclysmic Island!
And the Disaster Island kept its promise, sending admiral-level combat creations to each location to oversee the situation. At this point, no one doubted the authenticity of these admiral-level combat creations, because the Disaster Island had the confidence to do so. And even if they were fake, so what? The Disaster Island was now so powerful that even the World Government probably wouldn't dare to provoke it easily.
In fact, as the official superpower, the World Government cannot simply ignore the Cataclysmic Island. However, they still need to discuss how to manage it and prepare for the war...
In the original story, before they were to execute Ace and confront Whitebeard, they had already gathered a lot of troops. In their eyes, Li Wei was far more terrifying than one of the Four Emperors. Even Whitebeard, the strongest man, was disproportionately less threatening than Li Wei.
Recently, the Celestial Dragons and governments of various countries have been putting increasing pressure on them.
Not only the native inhabitants of the pirate world, but also the people of Tianchen Xingyu, after analyzing the news of Tianchen Xingyu's defeat and the intelligence they obtained through their own channels, all felt threatened by Li Wei.
The reincarnators were initially focused on paying close attention to Li Wei, but now they're taking it to a new level.
The fact that they could easily defeat Xingyu, a figure whom most of them looked up to, undoubtedly shocked them greatly.
Even the most elite group of people who consider themselves the chosen ones couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when they received the news.
They weren't confident they could achieve such a crushing victory over Xingyu.
Is it due to the restraint of ability?
They wouldn't be so self-deceiving.
Because... they knew very well that Li Wei did not use any abilities; he simply defeated Xingyu with domineering aura and pure skill!
The extent to which this domineering aura had been cultivated surprised them all.
Of course, they didn't think they were inferior to Li Wei; they attributed it more to the fact that this instance wasn't suitable for them...
This might sound like self-deception, but there's no way around it; given their pride and arrogance, it's extremely difficult for them to admit they're inferior to others.
In fact, some people are not suited for short bursts of cultivation, but have an advantage in long-term cultivation. For example, some super life forms grow relatively slowly.
Just as they were secretly plotting something, the island of natural disasters, which had been quiet for a while, once again released a message that shocked the world and even caused panic among most people.
PAS: Thank you so much, miss! I didn't know how to get there at first, but a kind lady came over and saw me asking for directions as a newbie, and kindly gave me the way.
Thank you so much to the counter staff! They even processed our expired documents!
Your procrastinating author is about to be resurrected!
Chapter 434 Announcement to the World Government
The message released by the island of natural disasters can be roughly divided into two parts.
First, the island of the natural disasters has publicly stated that they have Devil Fruits for sale. These fruits are not sold for Beli, but require contribution points to the island and the island's own currency, the Natural Disaster Coins, to exchange for them.
Furthermore, the island of Calamity claims that this Devil Fruit has no side effects, meaning it is immune to Seastone and seawater. Even if one eats the Devil Fruit produced by them, Drowa Seawater, there will be no problem with weakness.
Secondly, the Disaster Island issued another notice, this time addressed to the World Government, demanding that the World Government acknowledge its ownership and recognize the Disaster Island's official rule.
Either of these two pieces of news, taken individually, would shake the pirate world, but now that they're combined, the resulting earthquake is even more severe.
For example, in the first case, although Li Wei's strength surprised and astonished everyone, a person's strength was still within their common sense. At most, they were shocked by Li Wei's strength.
However, the claim made by Disaster Island that it could produce Devil Fruits without limit and without side effects was a completely different matter, which greatly overturned their understanding.
In everyone's common sense, Devil Fruits are inevitably accompanied by a curse from the ocean. This understanding has remained unchanged for thousands of years and is considered a truth.
But the island of natural disasters told them that their Devil Fruits didn't exist!
Not only that, according to them, they can also control the different types of Devil Fruit abilities. How terrifying is that?
Even Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the original work, only sold artificial Devil Fruits, which limited him to animal abilities, and these artificial fruits were still vulnerable to the weaknesses of seawater.
Even with Li Wei's many amazing achievements in the past, most people still found this news hard to believe.
However, new news soon emerged that many people reported encountering a magical island with strange trees bearing many different kinds of fruit.
Devil Fruit!
Those large trees and the small islands where they are located are self-aware and intelligent life forms. They claim to come from the Island of Calamity and are the great creations of Lord Calamity.
When people first encountered these islands, the islands were not yet known for their treacherous nature, so the rumors were mostly just topics of conversation. But now it's different; journalists even go out of their way to verify the information and ensure its authenticity.
The world government wanted to cover these things up, but it couldn't.
Under the direction of the Cataclysmic Island, many news media organizations not controlled by the World Government have emerged.
In fact, they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, because there were more and more small islands, and they were constantly moving at sea. The number of people encountering them increased rapidly, and the news spread very quickly.
However, the conditions for exchanging fruits on these smaller islands are not like those on the Disaster Island, but the high demand for exchanging them still deters a number of people.
Sell your soul to the island of disaster!
