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

"you!"

Bellamy pointed outside. "Kid, wanna go out and have a go?"

"Oh? Aren't you curious about my bounty?"

Because Yuzuriha Inori's banquet is approaching, many people have come to the Disaster Island to make it lively. Li Wei has been in a good mood lately and has also become interested in playing with Bellamy.

"Anyway, he's just a newbie who only knows how to play house. How much bounty can you offer? I'm a heavyweight newbie with a bounty of fifty million!" Bellamy shouted.

"Sigh, indeed, someone as weak as me has never had a bounty reach the level of ten million."

Li Wei seemed to sigh with regret.

He wasn't lying, because his bounty was initially set at 300 million...

Upon hearing this, Bellamy burst into arrogant laughter.

"You don't even have a few million, you're just trash who dares to talk about One Piece and claim to be the Pirate King!" Bellamy sneered. "If we're talking about the Pirate King, only the captain of the Disaster Pirates has the right to say that. You should go home and play in the mud, kid."

Bellamy looked down on this disheveled appearance even without inquiring about the bounty, because in his opinion, a pirate who was even slightly successful would never be so down on his luck.

"Ok?"

Just after Bellamy finished speaking, he noticed that Luffy and the others seemed to be looking at him with some strange gaze.

Bellamy subconsciously thought that Luffy and his crew didn't even know anything about the Cataclysm Pirates, or that they were like frogs in a well, unaware of the Cataclysm Pirates' power.

"You don't even know about the Calamity Pirates? They are a force that the World Government, major nations, and all other powers revere."

Bellamy looked at him with longing and a hint of admiration.

"The Cataclysm Pirates' stronghold, Cataclysm Island, has recently become a place where, under the command of Captain Cataclysm Li Wei, who in the world dares to disobey? Who dares to miss a banquet? Even the Four Emperors were easily defeated by the creations under Cataclysm Li Wei's command."

"This is the closest person in the world to the Pirate King... no, the title of Pirate King probably doesn't even deserve him."

"Once I raise the bounty a bit higher, I'll apply to join their ranks."

"As for you, get out of here."

"Brother Li Wei, I hate them, please don't let them join!" Luffy said bluntly.

What?

Bellamy was taken aback by Luffy's words, then wanted to burst out laughing. He glanced at Li Wei again and again, and then thought of the wanted poster. Because Li Wei's wanted poster was a rare clear image that the Navy had specially selected from the photos, when they later increased the bounty, they chose a picture of Li Wei shortly after his battle with Orvis and the others on Disaster Island. That's why Li Wei's wanted poster didn't show his messy hair now.

Moreover, Li Wei's bounty poster was really cool, and since Li Wei only became famous after that, people remembered his later bounty posters more.

However, not everyone has forgotten what Li Wei's initial 300 million bounty looked like. For example, Bellamy, who was interested in joining the Calamity Pirates, slowly recalled Li Wei's original 300 million bounty...

The same messy hair, the same baggy shorts.

Bellamy was immediately paralyzed with fear.

"You...you are...the captain of the Calamity Pirates, Calamity Li Wei..."

Bellamy's companions, as well as the others in the tavern, recognized Li Wei after hearing this remark.

"The notorious pirate with an 1.8 billion bounty..."

"Wow, he actually showed up here..."

Seemingly afraid of attracting Li Wei's attention, after the first few people spoke, everyone stopped making any noise, holding their breath tightly, afraid that their loud breathing would displease Li Wei.

The terms "Disaster Island," "Disaster Li Wei," and "Disaster Pirates" have been making headlines lately, and even the slightest hint of something related to them can cause alarm among ordinary people.

Li Wei shook his head regretfully. Seeing that Bellamy had already recognized him, he lost interest in continuing the game.

……

"Luffy's big brother, this... is amazing!"

When Usopp saw the ships below the Disaster Island being slowly pushed to the island by the rising sea pillars, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's amazing!" Luffy's eyes lit up.

"This kind of thing..."

Sanji instinctively thought, "Can they really do something like that?" But then he remembered Li Wei's previous performance and calmly lit a cigarette.

"He truly lives up to his reputation as Luffy's older brother."

After leaving their original island, Li Wei led them swiftly across the waves to the territory of Disaster Island. This was not a metaphor, but a true description.

The Straw Hat crew had no idea what Li Wei had done, but the Going Merry was like it had been injected with chicken blood, speeding and galloping across the sea like a wild horse, at an astonishing speed. Fortunately, Li Wei had taken other measures, otherwise they would have been thrown into the sea.

At this high speed, they arrived at Disaster Island in less than an hour, an astonishingly fast pace.

After Li Wei and his group arrived, the ship, which was being lifted up by the sea pillar, suddenly saw a sea giant rapidly materialize. Due to the previous events, this sea giant Poseidon was reported as news and became widely known. Seeing Poseidon appear, they all wondered who else would be so bold as to trespass into the Disaster Island without an invitation.

With the expectation of watching a good show, they were shocked to see that this ocean calamity called Poseidon actually lifted an inconspicuous little boat onto the island of calamity.

As the banquet was about to begin, many outsiders had already arrived in the Land of Calamity. Under Li Wei's transformation, the original desert nation of Alabasta had become the oasis paradise of the Land of Calamity.

Upon landing on the island, the Straw Hat crew was astonished by the sight before them. Although there had been news reports about it before, seeing it in person was still quite unexpected. Strange buildings lined the streets, and all sorts of strange creatures with life were either in groups or interacting with the local residents, such as playing cards, strolling around, or chatting.

There were blankets flying in the sky, water glasses running on the ground, and flowers and plants dancing. Next to the tavern, there was a toilet being blown around by several big men, and a squad of knife and fork patrols maintaining order.

These anthropomorphic beings got along well with everyone except for the outsiders who were surprised.

"Ok?"

Amidst this harmony, Robin seems to have noticed something and prepares to warn Li Wei.

PAS: The One Piece arc is wrapping up these next few days.

Chapter 426 Calamity Coins, Tribute Submission

"Luffy's big brother, there seem to be some people here..." Robin wanted to remind him of something, but Li Wei waved his hand, indicating that he knew what was going on. Robin immediately understood and shut up.

Robin clearly understood that Li Wei had his own plans. Although Luffy's older brother seemed unserious on the surface, Robin knew that Li Wei could be described as having great wisdom despite his seemingly madness, even if that description seemed unbelievable.

So Robin wisely refrained from interfering or even saying anything.

Li Wei rarely had the chance to show off his hospitality, so he took the Straw Hat Pirates on a tour of Disaster Island. Like other guests who came here, they found everything fascinating.

"By the way, Luffy's older brother, what is this Calamity Coin...?"

Li Wei explained, "Calamity Coins are the currency produced by our Calamity Island. They are currently circulating within the island and are independent of any other country."

"Cataclysmic Coins?"

Robin repeated it softly again, she had a premonition that this Cataclysm Coin might cause a revolution.

"That's right, and this Calamity Coin cannot be counterfeited."

As Li Wei spoke, he took out a coin and handed it to Robin. It was a coin with his portrait printed on it. Robin picked it up and examined it, but found nothing special about it; it was quite ordinary.

"Try throwing it on the ground and see," Li Wei said.

"Ok?"

After hearing Li Wei's words, Robin casually tossed down the Cataclysm Coin. She then noticed that Li Wei's image on the fallen Coin had a frowning expression. Although the change was very subtle, the observant Robin still noticed it.

"This is..." Robin couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Li Wei picked up the Catastrophe Coin, held it with his right thumb and middle finger, and slowly applied pressure. Robin and the Straw Hat crew, who had come to watch curiously, noticed that the brows on the portrait on the Catastrophe Coin were furrowing more and more tightly.

"Amazing!" Luffy and Usopp's eyes lit up.

"This kind of craftsmanship is indeed impossible to imitate," Robin exclaimed. Even with her extensive experience, she had never heard of such a forging technique. It was truly astonishing, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Sanji, Nami, Zoro, and the others, though they didn't understand, still felt impressed.

In fact, these Calamity Coins were not given souls by Li Wei. They were simply influenced by Li Wei's special creations in the City of Rebirth, and a little consciousness was born. This consciousness could not even constitute a soul.

After showing Luffy and his crew around for a while, Li Wei had a creation take his place.

"Your Excellency, Heavenly Calamity, obeys."

Upon receiving Li Wei's order, a little paper figure immediately came over eagerly.

"I'll have to leave for a bit. The banquet will start soon, so let it entertain you for now," Li Wei said.

Luffy called out dejectedly, "Big brother, are you leaving already?"

Nami advised, "Luffy, Brother Lee must have a lot of things to do, so don't make things difficult for him."

Li Wei replied with surprise, "No, I'm quite free."

"..."

"Then why are you leaving, brother?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

“I just want to take myself for a walk,” Li Wei said matter-of-factly.

Robin and the others couldn't help but instinctively retort, "Do you think you're a dog? Walking yourself like that..."

However, they didn't say these words. After spending some time together, especially during the training period, they had already come to know what kind of person Li Wei really was.

Even so, they were still shocked by Li Wei's outrageous actions, and their minds were filled with a thousand curses.

because……

The next moment, Li Wei transformed into a large dog of unknown breed, with a metallic appearance, and disappeared in a few quick movements.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Robin: ? ? ? ? ?

Usopp: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!

Luffy: Eyes flash with light

This guy...

They really didn't know how to complain or talk about him; they felt that no matter how they tried, it wouldn't be comfortable or effective enough, and it just felt awkward.

So now they've all given up, too exhausted to even complain.

After Li Wei left the Straw Hat crew, he transformed into a mechanical bird and flew in the sky. Later, he swooped down to the ground and transformed into a burrowing rat the moment he touched the ground...

As Li Wei himself said, he was bored and suddenly had the urge to take a walk, purely out of boredom.

As Li Wei rolled around everywhere, time passed little by little. With more than two hours left before the banquet started, most of the invited people had arrived at Disaster Island. As for those unlucky ones who had initially chosen the wrong side and trusted the wrong people, some chose to go elsewhere to indulge themselves, some thought about whether they could hide, and some thought that it was better to be late than absent, hoping to make amends.

Some journalists risked their lives and spent a great deal of effort to buy invitations, while others had a bright idea: when they arrived at the territory of the Scourge Island and Poseidon appeared, they would immediately lower their voices and ask if they could apply to visit the Scourge Island. If not, they would leave immediately, never daring to offend the dignity of the Scourge Island.

These people were just giving it a try, but to their surprise, they succeeded. Their boldness, fearlessness, or professionalism paid off.

However, it remains to be seen what kind of future this reward will lead them to.

Many people see this kind of risk-taking spirit as foolish behavior. In fact, it's not a matter of right or wrong, good or bad; it's simply a matter of personal opinion.

Regardless of how they arrived at Disaster Island, they all brought generous gifts to present, and some even consciously referred to these gifts as tributes.

This flattery, I must say, was... somewhat sophisticated.

Many people followed the invitation, and those with influence simply pledged allegiance to the Disaster Island on behalf of their backers.

At first, some people were worried that the Disaster Island might be picky, especially towards the representatives of the weaker forces.

However, it turned out that their worries were unnecessary, because the Disaster Island side fully accepted these forces that had come to join them.

In fact, the island of natural disasters didn't even require them to sign any agreements.

At first, they all found it strange, but then they understood, because the Island of Calamity was too powerful. They didn't need such verbal agreements; anyone who violated them would have to look up at the Aurora Calamity above them.

There is no place in the world that is not under the watchful eye of the aurora calamity, except for the deepest part of the ocean and the highest point of the sky.

It's likely that only marine species or those living in the sky can disregard the authority of the Disaster Island.

Time ticked by, and soon it was time for the banquet to begin. But at that moment, something unexpected happened...

With a bang——

A sudden change has occurred on the island of natural disaster!

PAS: I'm having a bit of writer's block...orz

No way... I have to work myself to the bone tomorrow...

Chapter 427 Heavenly Star Universe

Everyone was startled by the noise and turned to look in the direction from which it came.

Then they saw fireworks blooming overhead. These fireworks were extremely beautiful and could not be made by ordinary craftsmanship. What was amazing was that after they bloomed, these fireworks could continuously change shape and perform unique dances in the sky.
