"What demon king?"

Li Wei spoke.

"Huh? Why does your voice sound so familiar?" Luo Meier, who had been acting coy and blushing, suddenly asked in confusion.

"Have you gone mad from being locked up? I'm your grandpa, Li Wei," Li Wei said in a serious tone.

"Holy crap? You're Li Wei? You're kidding, right? That bastard Li Wei couldn't possibly be like this..."

"What?!" Li Wei stared wide-eyed.

After stammering for a while, Luo Meier ultimately didn't finish the description.

"By the way, what did you mean by 'I have no way to repay such a great kindness'?" Li Wei asked, remembering what he had said earlier.

"I have no way to repay your great kindness, except to be your slave in my next life." Luo Meier's expression changed, and she finally said these words through gritted teeth.

"I thought you meant that the only way to repay me was to offer yourself to me."

Li Wei murmured, then looked at Luo Meier: "You don't need to do that in the next life. In this life, you can be my slave."

"Oh right, I made plans to play archery with Yuzuriha and the others, but we're missing a live target. Come over here."

"No!"

Luo Meier was going crazy. That bastard Li Wei really didn't know how to be gentle with women. If it weren't for Weiwei's persuasion, she would have been shot around like a live target by Li Wei.

"Li Wei, you bastard!"

Luo Meier huffed, but when she saw Li Wei's face, she couldn't help but blush.

There was no way around it; Li Wei was just too handsome. For Luo Meier, who was obsessed with looks, he was incredibly attractive—it was like dropping a nuclear bomb.

I never knew before. I never would have guessed that Li Wei would be so handsome when he had that messy hair. Now that the messy hair is gone, he's become incredibly handsome. I reckon Li Wei could charm a lot of people even if he shaved his head.

Some say that true handsomeness lies in being able to pull off a shaved head.

Luo Meier felt that Li Wei had reached this level. Although she didn't really want to admit it, she had to face the fact because Li Wei was really dazzling her.

This made it difficult for Luo Meier to control herself; on the one hand, she believed Li Wei was a demon, but on the other hand, she had no choice but to accept the punishment of the Holy Light.

Luo Meier's hesitation and struggle did not last long, because Li Wei returned to his messy, disheveled appearance a few days later. This gave Luo Meier a new set of complex emotions, a mix of regret, relief, and happiness.

"Why would you rather have messy, unkempt hair?" Luo Meier asked, puzzled.

"This is probably what freedom feels like..."

Li Wei swayed in the wind, his messy hair bobbing, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"Well, being single is indeed quite liberating."

Luo Meier quickly retreated, getting away from this free-spirited hairstyle that destined her to be single for life.

……

Recalling all this, Li Wei chuckled to himself and turned his attention back to the newspaper in his hand, reading the news.

Li Wei never expected that the group of traitors would investigate his actions in Alabasta in such detail. Although they were still a bit far from the truth, it was still quite astonishing. It just goes to show that there are too many leaky walls in this world, and that secrets can always be revealed.

Soon, the World Government on the Grand Line officially issued a bounty on Li Wei, still offering 300 million, clearly acknowledging the bounty from the East Blue.

While 300 million may not seem like much—in the latter half of the Grand Line, these figures are often hundreds of millions or even billions—it is quite impressive in the first half of the Grand Line.

Gecko Moria is a Shichibukai of this caliber, and Luffy's bounty of 300 million also ranks second among the Supernovas.

In fact, the reason why Li Wei's bounty was not increased was primarily because the group of reincarnators that Li Wei defeated usually kept a low profile and did not have a high bounty. Secondly, the Navy did not know the true situation of that group of reincarnators, and the reporters lacked certain key information, such as not knowing that the entire Alabasta was ascended by Li Wei.

If the Navy finds out about all this, Li Wei's bounty will likely reach an astonishing level.

"Li Wei, there's a letter for you!"

Another day passed, and Weiwei handed a letter to Li Wei.

"This is?"

"From the Navy."

Li Wei chuckled, "I'm not familiar with the people over there. If we're talking about the navy, I only know some people in the East China Sea."

Yes, I met an acquaintance once when Li Weiqiang barged into the conference room.

"I don't know, but you can take a look anyway."

Vivi's expression was solemn. "This must be a very important matter. To be honest, Li Wei, our royal family is quite special. We were once part of the founding of the World Government. If you bring this place under your control, the World Government may take some action."

Li Wei shook his head, telling Weiwei not to worry.

In fact, Vivi immediately relaxed after seeing Li Wei's attitude, because she sensed that if the World Government really wanted to take action against Li Wei, it wouldn't be a simple matter.

After opening the envelope, Li Wei took out the letters inside and slowly read them.

"What's wrong?"

When Weiwei saw the strange look on Li Wei's face after he finished reading the letter, she couldn't help but ask nervously.

Could something really have gone wrong?

"The World Government said they wanted to recruit me as a Shichibukai, and Crocodile, one of the original Shichibukai, had his appointment revoked."

"You?! A Shichibukai?" Vivi's mouth gaped open in surprise. "Impossible! The World Government really can tolerate you declaring Alabasta as your territory?"

Li Wei immediately denied it, "That's not how it works. The World Government's intention is for me to give up Alabasta, which is a condition for joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Obviously, in their eyes, the series of privileges of becoming a Seven Warlord of the Sea are very tempting to me."

"The World Government brought this up probably because I haven't done anything too outrageous to Alabasta, and also because they're wary of my strength."

Even if the intelligence agents' investigations were incomplete, they couldn't help but speculate and be wary.

"So what do you mean?" Weiwei bit her lip lightly, her expression a little tense.

"Nonsense, Alabasta is all mine now. You think I'd give up this piece of fat? No way."

Li Wei's words were domineering, but Weiwei smiled happily upon hearing them. Deep down, she didn't want Alabasta to break away from Li Wei's influence, because Li Wei's arrival had truly improved Alabasta's life and security.

Then Vivi realized what was happening and angrily punched Li Wei in the chest with her little fist: "Alabasta isn't a piece of meat, you bastard!"

Days passed by, and one day Li Wei remembered...

"By the way, there are some things that need to be done," Li Wei said.

Chapter 408 World Coverage, The Aurora Road

"What's going on?" Yuzuriha Inori and Vivi asked curiously.

As for Luo Meier, after suffering several blows from Li Wei, she decided to travel to Alabasta to calm down, soothe her heart, and heal her emotional wounds.

"I'm going to Rogge Town."

Li Wei said earnestly.

Loguetown is where Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was executed in the original manga. In the early part of the One Piece storyline, Luffy was captured by Buggy the Clown and taken to Roger's execution platform. If it weren't for a bolt of lightning that saved Luffy, he would have been beheaded.

This shows just how strong Luffy's protagonist destiny is.

In fact, in this dungeon world, with the support of rules, all the important characters will receive favors in various aspects. Luffy may seem weak at first, but he is not so easy to kill.

For example, in the Tokyo Ghoul mutated version that Li Wei initially entered, there was a character named Jason the Gecko, who was just a supporting character, but he had the power of the plot added to his strength, making him stronger than others of the same level.

As the protagonist of this world, Luffy will only enjoy even more amazing benefits, because this pirate world is a larger dimension than Tokyo Ghoul, and its rules are more powerful.

However, this does not mean that Luffy is truly without a solution.

With the intervention of a group of exceptionally talented reincarnators, especially those with extensive experience in venturing into various dungeon worlds, they naturally possess unique methods for killing the chosen ones of the planes, who are also the protagonists of the worlds.

The scene where Luffy is executed is a great starting point. Li Wei believes that those reincarnators who have designs on Luffy will not let this opportunity pass.

This is more advantageous than when Luffy is weakened from a fierce battle or when he is subjected to a strong encirclement.

What they want to do is create a plot-driven kill.

This is just a plot twist, a kill caused by the storyline.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time."

Li Wei guessed, then said, "By the way, I remember it's Yuzuriha Inori's birthday soon, right?"

Yuzuriha Inori nodded and said softly, "Yes, Wei, you still remember."

Although she only showed a small smile, she was actually very happy inside. For someone like Yuzuriha Inori who is not good at expressing herself, this was already a very joyful expression.

"I'll have them make some invitations and send them to people all over the world. I want to host a grand celebration for you."

Li Wei said that he thought of the tea party of the Four Emperors Big Mon in the original work and felt that he could imitate it. He believed that Yuzuriha Inori would be very surprised.

Seemingly sensing what Yuzuriha Inori was thinking, she said, "The celebration will be held a few days before your birthday. On your birthday... I'll be with you."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Wei still said the last part.

Inori Yuzuriha's smile became even sweeter.

"Ah."

Her answer was still simple, but she sounded so happy that it seemed to overflow like water from a glass.

Because Li Wei knew her true feelings, on her birthday she actually preferred to spend it alone with him, without needing any fanfare.

But Li Wei had already taken her feelings into consideration and even held a celebration, which was a novel and exciting experience for her.

In fact, Yuzuriha Inori looked forward to everything Li Wei did for her; she was a girl who was easily satisfied.

Weiwei pouted and muttered under her breath, "This dog food smells awful."

The word "dog food" was taught to Weiwei by Luo Meier before she left. It can be said that Luo Meier's departure from this sad place was not without this connection, otherwise Weiwei would not have learned the word "dog food" from Luo Meier.

At Li Wei's command, the group of strange beings began busily making invitations, and even the ordinary residents, upon hearing about the celebration, spontaneously organized themselves and actively offered their help.

This surprised Li Wei greatly; he hadn't expected the people of Alabasta to be so enthusiastic.

They all know how to be grateful.

In this country with its simple and honest people, Li Wei, who had not originally intended to repay anyone, couldn't help but feel a unique sense of gratitude.

"Now that Alabasta is my territory, I will protect you."

At the palace, Li Wei made this solemn promise for the first time.

"Anyone who dares to invade, no matter what kind of being it is, will pay a heavy price."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, all the villagers were clearly very excited and worked even harder to help.

In an instant, the entire Alabasta was abuzz with activity as preparations were made for Yuzuriha Inori's festival. Vivi watched all this with a bitter taste in her mouth.

Despite their royal family's many years of hard work and self-improvement, they don't necessarily receive this kind of treatment.

While the group of people and the strange creatures were still active in Alabasta, Li Wei left. On his way to Roggetown, he made some arrangements as he passed by certain islands.

Even so, Li Wei's speed on the way to Luoge Town was not slow.

"Let's get there as soon as possible," Li Wei said after a moment's thought.

Despite possessing the ability to make up for any unexpected events, he decided not to be too reckless this time, since Luffy was now considered one of his subordinates.

Thinking this, Li Wei, who was above a certain island, suddenly emitted a devastating light. Li Wei completely transformed into a person of light, with countless beams of light shooting out in all directions on a horizontal plane from his body. What's amazing is that these beams of light kept branching out as they shot out, like a spider web.

East China Sea--

"Look, what's that in the sky?!"

West Sea —

"What kind of celestial phenomenon is this?!"

South China Sea--

Countless people screamed in surprise.

"This is huge! This is really huge!"

North Sea--

"Is some terrible disaster about to happen!?"

For a time, people panic.

Not only the four major sea areas, but also the islands along the Grand Line are shrouded in these nets of light.

"The Aurora Road!"
