I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

"But as you saw, just now my dream sank to the bottom of the sea."

"..."

The two chatted as they strolled along. Although they said they were nervous and careful, Luo Meier knew very well that unless her luck turned extremely bad, this trip to Alabasta shouldn't be too dangerous.

As for Li Wei...

Ha ha.

Unless the enemy has exceptionally good luck, this trip to Alabasta is destined to end in defeat.

Regardless of their mindset or confidence, they are both equally relaxed at the moment.

"Speaking of which, have Orvis and the others decided to follow Crocodile's plan from the original story?" Loreille suddenly asked.

The two had walked quite a distance, but all they saw along the way was parched land. Occasionally, they could see a few withered trees, but flowers and grass were nowhere to be seen. This proved that this land had not seen rain for a long time and was facing a severe drought.

In the original work, Crocodile used Dancing Powder, which is a substance that can concentrate nearby moisture in a certain place to make it rain. This caused rainwater to accumulate in the capital, resulting in a drought crisis in the surrounding areas.

Later, Crocodile even framed the Alabasta royal family for this incident.

This is part of Crocodile's plan to seize Alabasta and steal the Ancient Weapon "Pluton." Crocodile, as a hero who repelled a pirate attack in Alabasta and a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the Navy, has great prestige among the people.

In fact, if it weren't for the interference of the protagonist Luffy and his crew, Crocodile's plan would have succeeded.

As Lorelei previously stated, Orvis and his group planned to target Crocodile, yet they haven't stopped Crocodile's plan yet. Perhaps they're hoping to reap the benefits, or maybe there's other interference. In the end, their target shouldn't just be Crocodile, but the legendary weapon "Pluton," which hasn't appeared in the original story yet.

Regardless of where one infers from the original work, it is clear that "Pluto" is likely an extremely powerful and destructive weapon beyond human imagination.

To be honest, Li Wei was also tempted by it. Of course, he didn't mean he wanted to get his hands on "Pluto," but rather he wanted to try taking a shot of "Pluto" and feel its power...

Yes, it's going to be very interesting!

“They’re probably just observing,” Li Wei replied. “With so many reincarnators involved here, and given that there are mature plans that can obtain Hades’s approval, it’s understandable that they’re taking this approach.”

"In fact, Crocodile's failure in the original work was due to multiple factors. For example, Robin's guidance led Vivian to know who the president of Baroque Works was and Crocodile's conspiracy. Robin also saved Luffy, and Luffy's own fighting strength was also indispensable."

"As for Luffy, they probably can also imagine that the reincarnators will definitely not just stand by and watch the plot develop as it did in the original story."

"Whether to join Luffy's crew or stand in his way is a matter of choosing sides."

In every dungeon world, using characters from the original work is a routine operation for reincarnators. Li Wei's approach to dungeon runs is refreshingly unique.

Thinking of Luffy, Li Wei suddenly remembered that after resolving the Alabasta incident, he should quickly go back, because if his analysis was correct, Luffy would soon face a life-or-death crisis.

No, it should be said that if no one comes to the rescue, Luffy will definitely die; his blood probably can't be locked up.

And as Luffy's older brother, even if he's a cheap older brother, he should at least protect Luffy.

A town in Alabasta —

"The people here really have a hard life," Luo Meier couldn't help but say with a touch of sympathy.

"After several years of drought, it's a miracle we're even alive," Li Wei sighed.

The people in the town mostly had chapped lips and wrinkled skin. Most of the people coming and going wore large hats and were wrapped in outer robes, which were all sun protection clothing. Li Wei and Luo Meier were dressed in their usual clothes. Li Wei was still wearing slippers, shorts, and a short-sleeved shirt as always, while Luo Meier wore a light yellow short-sleeved shirt and a white short skirt.

Upon entering the town, Li Wei and Luo Meier immediately noticed that they were being watched. This was quite normal, as their clothing was completely different from the others, and their complexion and skin revealed just how comfortable their lives were.

This is undoubtedly a deadly temptation for a group of people facing a survival crisis.

"Come out."

As they entered a secluded alley, Li Wei spoke.

"Which faction are you reincarnators from? I've never seen you before," the leader asked coldly.

Ok?

Li Wei raised an eyebrow immediately.

I won the lottery.

Chapter 372 I Never Remember the Names of Little Insects

Li Wei had initially thought that those who were following them were simply people in the area who couldn't bear the drought and were struggling to survive, and had decided to take action. He never expected that they were actually reincarnators who were also attending the council celebration.

Theoretically, the strength of these reincarnated individuals participating in the competition is far inferior to that of those people, so Li Wei shouldn't have made a mistake in his assessment, but...

In Li Wei's perception, if one is not careful, it is really impossible to distinguish the difference in strength between them, because they all seem about the same.

“I’m from Tianyin Star, and he’s from the Main God Space,” Luo Meier replied. Although it might be inappropriate to honestly reveal her origins in an unknown environment, it was better to be direct since the other party had already recognized her.

The most important reason that led Luo Meier to make this decision was that the Main God Space and Tianyin Star were not very famous, but they had a great advantage: they did not have much hatred with other forces, meaning they had no enemies.

Rather than lying and risking being exposed and taking the blame, it's better to be honest. Otherwise, if the other party finds out, you'll lose face.

They knew that the dungeon world would be streamed live. Now that something had happened in the dungeon world, she wasn't sure if the live streaming function was still working, but at least she didn't want to lose face in these details.

"The Main God Space? Tianyin Star?"

Upon hearing Luo Meier's reply, the leader's expression turned disdainful.

"Two rural areas."

In fact, he went a bit too far. Those who were invited to the parliament to participate in the celebration were naturally not those third-rate forces. It's just that there are also significant class differences within the upper echelons.

The cycle of reincarnation is so vast that each level can contain even more detailed distinctions.

The people on the other side were from a relatively upper-class faction among those invited, so they naturally had a sense of superiority when facing Li Wei and Luo Meier.

This confidence stems not only from their backgrounds, but also from the superior quality of their organizational resources and their own inherent strength.

“I am Tianxiao of the Beast Alliance,” the leader, who called himself Tianxiao, said coldly. “I know you are mostly neutral, but I also warn you not to cause trouble in Alabasta, or you will bear the consequences.”

"Boss, we..." One of the people next to him made a head-wiping gesture.

Tianxiao shook his head. "No need. Our main task now is to capture the Song of Ethereal Spirit and complete the mission assigned to us."

A song of ethereal beauty?

Upon hearing the name, Li Wei's eyes narrowed instinctively.

A pink figure emerged, seemingly deserving of this title.

"You mean... Yuzuriha Inori, the Ethereal Song?"

Tianxiao was taken aback. "You know about this too? Oh, I see. You're probably here for the bounty, right? No wonder you two came here."

Not denying it is tantamount to admitting it.

Li Wei did not see Yuzuriha Inori's bounty on the wanted poster, which means that the bounty was created by the Reincarnators themselves, and that some Reincarnators offered to capture Yuzuriha Inori.

In an instant, countless analyses flashed through Li Wei's mind.

It's possible they were attracted to Yuzuriha Inori's beauty, but the genius of the Samsara Great World has seen countless beauties. It could be that they were attracted to Yuzuriha Inori's abilities, her distinctive singing voice, or perhaps there was some grudge...

These analyses were eliminated and filtered by Li Wei one by one.

Although he had many thoughts in his mind, in a very short time, Li Wei finished his deduction.

Among these reincarnators, the one most likely to do this is the only one who had any interaction with the timeline of Guilty Crown—

Zerg.

"Orves' bounty?" Li Wei's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.

"You're not going to talk nonsense... wait!"

A fierce glint flashed in Tianxiao's eyes.

"I see. You do have some skill, to deduce this much from these facts."

Tianxiao wasn't stupid. From Li Wei's words, he instantly understood that Li Wei was unaware of the bounty. The fact that Li Wei was still testing him without knowing the truth clearly showed that he had a close relationship with Yuzuriha Inori, the Song of the Void!

And this relationship is definitely not one of enemies, but rather... someone important to the other person, a friend, or something else.

The next moment, a shockwave shot out from Tianxiao's mouth, striking Li Wei directly in the face.

However, this sneak attack did not achieve Tianxiao's minimum expectations. In his imagination, Li Wei would either be instantly killed by this attack, or at least suffer considerable damage. This would depend on the abilities the opponent possessed when entering this world, as well as factors such as race.

The reality was that the shockwave penetrated Li Wei's head, causing it to explode into a mass of sand, which then reformed itself from individual grains of sand.

Li Wei was unharmed.

"A Devil Fruit user!?"

Tianxiao denied it the next moment, "No, you actually chose such a trash ability to retain your power."

Similar to Logia-type Devil Fruits, the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit is indeed considered trash in the eyes of these top reincarnation users.

Those around Tianxiao began to enter battle mode, while Luo Meier beside Li Wei gritted her teeth.

"Li Wei, you bastard! You said you'd keep a low profile and prioritize survival, but you've dragged me down with you!"

As she spoke, Luo Meier tentatively asked, "By the way, if I say now that I'm not with him and we've only just met, could you please let me off the hook?"

Tianxiao and the others simply smiled coldly.

Oh my god, I'm doomed.

This was Luo Meier's first thought. What could she do? She was desperate too. She was just a nobody in the upper echelons. Even if the opponent wasn't necessarily a great white shark, they were still stronger than her in terms of both quality and quantity.

However, Luo Meier, as a talented junior from the upper echelons, was not one to be indecisive. Or perhaps what she said just now was more of a joke, a betrayal of her companion?

How could someone who constantly harbors resentment towards their senior sister do such a thing? Even if she and Li Wei haven't known each other for long, friendship isn't something that should be judged by time. From the moment you consider someone a friend, they are a friend, and you shouldn't betray them; you should trust each other.

We should share both good times and bad!

"I'll take care of these guys!"

So Luo Meier pulled away the weakest monsters and left the big boss to Li Wei.

Bro, that's all I can do for you, sob sob.

"You haven't seen me before?" he suddenly asked during Li Wei's one-on-one fight with Tian Xiao.

"Perhaps I have seen you, but I never pay attention to little bugs," Tianxiao replied condescendingly.

"Is that so? It seems that the bounty from the East Blue has not yet reached the Grand Line, or perhaps the Grand Line's navy does not recognize the bounty."

A naval bounty?

Tian Xiao sneered: "What's so great about having a bounty on your head? Ten million? Thirty million?"

"I am Beast King Tianxiao, with a bounty of 80 million. Remember me, Reptile!"

P.S.: I didn't expect that after being delayed for so long, the data for this book would slowly recover...

Chapter 373 Slaughter of Cities and Towns! Five Phases - Turbo!

Beast King Sky Howl? 80 million bounty?

In the later stages of One Piece, this bounty amount was actually only at the level of a small fry, or even a cannon fodder bounty.

However, in the early stages of One Piece, especially for Reincarnators who were initially restricted, a bounty of 80 million was already quite impressive.

Especially now that the One Piece storyline has only just begun and the system's constraints have only recently been lifted, it's no exaggeration to say that the average bounty for a typical reincarnator at this point in time is at most around 20 million.

Of course, this average is the average among all forces that can be classified as geniuses. Tianxiao's level is four times that of others, which shows his strength.

Just as Li Wei was leisurely thinking about these things, Tian Xiao's expression gradually changed.

He had expected to see surprise, fear, and caution on Li Wei's face after he announced the bounty, but he didn't. All he observed was calmness and relaxation.

This doesn't rule out the possibility that the other party possesses exceptional mental fortitude and acting skills, because those who can enter this instance world to compete are all talented juniors, not those unknown and hopeless individuals.

But is this truly a facade? Beneath the calm surface, are turbulent emotions actually lurking?

Regardless of which one it is, Tianxiao knows that both are enemies he should deal with seriously.

As a result, the original nonchalant and somewhat playful attitude became more serious.

At least from the current situation, it is advantageous to him. From the perspective of Beast King Tianxiao, he only used a negligible branch of his power to probe the opponent's approximate strength.

Even if it's not the ability to turn into sand, at most it's something like transformation, or the ability to control the five elements or even greater energy attributes.

These abilities pose little threat to him; he has ways to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Tianxiao made his move again.

A water balloon the size of a basketball shot out of his throat. For some unknown reason, the water balloon was several times larger than his mouth, yet it was able to fly out of his throat.

What appears to be just a water sphere is actually more powerful than a regular cannonball, and given Li Wei's sandification ability, it is a skill that perfectly counters him.
