The group regained their confidence.

……

Just after they left, the strange bodies that had supposedly perished began to move again. As if by prior arrangement, they simultaneously opened their eyes, stood up, and smiled sinisterly at each other.

"We shouldn't disturb Lord Tianzai's interest too much."

"Oh, Lord Natural Disaster, you're actually willing to play with something so weak."

Just then, a humanoid cookie peeked out from a corner. Upon seeing it, the giant book's face darkened. "You're the new 10087, aren't you? Don't you know how to control your Conqueror's Haki yet?!"

PAS: Hurry up and get it to 93 words so it can be recommended on the big bookshelf... that way more friends can come in QAQ

I can't manage five watches today, and four... well, that's hard to say... I'll just do my best.

To be honest, quite a few people have subscribed, so why are there so few complaints now...?

Chapter 395 How dare you disturb the slumbering natural disaster?

In the world of One Piece, there is a concept of Haki, which is divided into three types: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.

The main effect of Armament Haki is to enhance attack power, and also to capture the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, making damage to all Devil Fruit users effective.

Observation Haki, as its name suggests, is essentially the ability to sense things. In the original work, Charlotte Katakuri, the son of the Yonko Big Mom and possessing the Mochi Mochi Fruit, mastered Observation Haki to a very high level, enabling him to briefly foresee the future. He was a monster among monsters.

As for Conqueror's Haki, it cannot be acquired through training. It is a type of Haki that requires aptitude and can only be mastered by those with innate talent.

In the original work, the characters described it this way, especially from Empress Boa Hancock, who said that this was a rare and domineering being, one in a million, and that everyone possessed the qualities of a king.

In anime characters, characters such as Whitebeard, Shanks, and Empress Hancock herself are all possessors of Conqueror's Haki, and they are all figures standing at the top of the Haze world.

However, this very same 10087, a supposedly newcomer created by Li Wei, was able to unleash Conqueror's Haki, though not yet at a level of mastery. This was truly astonishing.

Even those who enter this cycle of reincarnation and undergo the baptism of the rules don't all possess Conqueror's Haki. However, according to that strange giant book, all those with numbers before 10087 possess Conqueror's Haki...

Meanwhile, the giant book continued its condemnation: "Newcomer, if you can't master Haki yet, you should hurry back to the Land of Origin. There will be seniors there to teach you how to master it quickly."

"Oh dear, how come there are still newcomers these days who can't quickly get the hang of being domineering?"

"That...that has nothing to do with those seniors..."

Little Biscuit weakly apologized: "When I saw everyone fall down just now, I accidentally got emotional and lost control of my domineering attitude."

The giant book curled its lip. "Didn't you receive Lord Calamity's order? Well, you were only recently born, so the order was issued before you were born. It's not surprising."

"But you almost spoiled Lord Natural Disaster's enjoyment, do you know that?"

"Yeah, sorry."

"Speaking of which, newcomer, what are your abilities?"

The giant book continued to ask questions.

"We can make some biscuit weapons, and also some biscuit soldiers for combat..."

The little biscuit whispered.

"How weak, this ability is really," the giant book said disdainfully.

However, the ability that the giant book describes as weak is actually the Devil Fruit ability of Charlotte Cracker, the tenth son of the Charlotte family, one of the Sweet Commanders of the Pirates, and the Minister of Biscuits, with a bounty of 860 million Berries.

Perhaps this little cookie can't reach Charlotte Cracker's level, but in the world of One Piece, it's definitely not the weak and pathetic ability described in the giant book.

However, Little Biscuit didn't think so. Hearing what Giant Book said, it just lowered its head a little embarrassed. It seemed that in its opinion, it was indeed a little lacking compared to its predecessors.

Just as the giant book was about to say something, suddenly a pair of large eyes appeared on the ground where they were standing, and its mouth began to speak.

“Number 1038, don’t be so demanding of the newcomers. We weren’t this strict with you guys who were numbered after 1000 back then.”

"Ah, it's Lord 009."

The giant book's tone became respectful, "You're right, sir. I will change in the future."

"By the way, sir, does Lord Tianzai have any further instructions?"

"As for this, Lord Natural Disaster said..."

……

"Does that guy called Natural Disaster think he can win with just the sheer number of these grunts?"

"We haven't been away from the capital for very long, so these strange things must have been made recently. Although they're minor artifacts, we have to admit that they're quite powerful."

"What a pity. I suppose that person went all in and never expected that we could turn the tables so easily."

"Narcok, you deserve the main credit this time."

"Haha, you're all joking. You all deserve credit for your contributions."

"I wonder what that disaster victim is feeling right now? Fearful? Panicked?"

After dealing with those strange occurrences, the group was in a playful mood again. Their current mindset was more like that of hunters gradually approaching their prey, eager to see the prey's comical performance before its final death.

"If he conserves his energy and fights us head-on, he might still have a chance to turn the tide."

"He's used up so much energy, he's probably even overdrawn his lifespan, right?"

"Do you think he might have grown into a frail old man by now?"

Although all the reincarnators are geniuses from the top forces in the Great Reincarnation World, apart from their extraordinary talent, they are just ordinary beings with emotions and desires, and normal logic and feelings.

Of course, those who make these joking remarks are not the majority. Those who are among them are mostly lower-ranking reincarnators. Those who are at the top are now keeping quiet and ready to fight at any time.

This is the difference between geniuses. Some geniuses only have extraordinary talent, while others, apart from talent, are also outstanding in terms of temperament, willpower, and other aspects.

However, if someone observes closely, they will find that among these people, there are two reincarnators who behave very differently. One is somewhat gloating mixed with relief, while the other is frowning and looking troubled and worried.

Along the way, no more strange creatures came to ambush them. They estimated that the hundreds of ghostly things they had encountered earlier were all, or at least the vast majority, of them. After all, although they looked down on those things, they had actually seen their strength.

Producing hundreds in such a short period of time is already astonishing, even slightly exceeding their expectations and psychological tolerance.

If Nalock hadn't intervened and swept through, many people would likely have been left with an indelible shadow, creating an insurmountable obstacle on their future cultivation path.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the palace gates. At that moment, the demon skull on the pirate flag above the palace suddenly spoke: "Who goes there? This is Lord Calamity's palace. Leave immediately and do not disturb his slumber."

"disturb?"

Someone chuckled, "Sleeping? I think it's going to be in eternal slumber."

"Be bold!"

The demonic skull roared, and wind, fire, and lightning were about to erupt from the background when an old voice rang out.

"Ergou, forget it. I'm getting old too. You young folks who can still walk, go ahead."

A hunchbacked old man walked out with shaky steps...

Chapter 396 Nine Steps Like a Demon, Like a King's Arrival

"Lord Natural Disaster!"

The demon skull screamed in alarm when it saw the old man emerge.

"You... how could you... Damn it, it must be these invaders' fault! Don't worry, I'll sacrifice them right now!"

Old man Li Wei slowly waved his hand: "Er Gou, I'm old and I'm afraid I won't live much longer. You should all run away or scatter. While you're still young and have a chance, this world is so big, why ruin yourselves here?"

"There are so many wonderful things in this world that you haven't seen, and so many beautiful women that you haven't been with."

Upon seeing this, the other reincarnators displayed a variety of expressions, including sneers, mockery, and disdain.

Ah, as expected, he overdrawn his lifespan, didn't he?

Not everyone has the right to be arrogant.

If you lack sufficient strength, arrogance will be your epitaph.

"You're the Calamity? The guy who boasted about bringing Alabasta under your rule and arrogantly told us to get lost?"

Someone mocked, "I think this isn't a natural disaster, it's heaven wanting you dead."

After this person spoke, others continued to speak, and those who spoke were mostly the ones who had been most frightened when they encountered the strange occurrence.

"By the way, Orves, why have you been so quiet since earlier?"

Someone nearby noticed that Orves seemed to have frowned for some time now, and even when asked a question, he would only shake his head and remain silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as everyone was mocking them for a while, one of them stepped forward.

"Li Wei, why are you doing this?"

The man gave a helpless, bitter smile. "When I first met you, I thought you had a rather boisterous personality, but I didn't know you could be this boisterous."

Li Wei slowly sized up the newcomer and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Aren't you... Qin Tianchu, Qin Qingyu's son?"

"Why are you here?"

Even under these circumstances, Qin Tianchu almost choked on his own blood when he heard Li Wei's words.

"I am Qingyu's father, Qin Tianchu, not her son. She's not even married yet."

Qin Qingyu was the girl Li Wei encountered in the first instance when he entered this God Space. While Li Wei was unconscious, everyone else wanted to leave, but she stayed behind to wait for Li Wei to wake up.

"Oh it's you."

Li Wei had a look of sudden realization.

Qin Tianchu said helplessly, "Alright, I understand. You still haven't remembered, right?"

"How could that be? Aren't you the one who returned from the pilgrimage and then became the head of the West District?"

"...I am the East District Chief of the Main God Space, but as I say, I only realized after arriving here that I am nothing."

"I never expected that you would look like this after such a short time. I thought we would have a chance to talk and laugh together at the peak of our lives, but I never expected that our reunion would be on this occasion."

Li Wei sighed, "You're here to kill me too, aren't you?"

Qin Tianchu shook his head, stepped forward to stand in front of Li Wei, and then turned around to face the hundreds of reincarnators with him.

"If Qingyu knew that I stood by and did nothing to save her lover, or even attacked him, she would probably never forgive me as his father."

"Is this your reason for courting death?"

"...Some stances are not about life or death, but only about the direction one takes."

"So even if you think it's just adding another life to the list, you'll still step forward?"

Qin Tianchu smiled bitterly, "Even you admit that one more person died, so it seems there's nothing that can be done."

Li Wei gave him a rare serious look. "To be honest, I'm quite impressed with you now."

"I wasn't that bad before, was I?" Qin Tianchu said with dissatisfaction.

"Actually, it's not bad. Compared to them, it's at least better than them. It's like the pot calling the kettle black."

"..."

Just then, another person stepped forward from among the reincarnators.

"I never expected that you, the dignified District Chief Qin, would be so chivalrous?"

"Who is he?" Li Wei asked, his eyes wide.

"One of my arch-enemies..."

"Oh, so you're not very popular." Li Wei asked matter-of-factly, showing no awareness of the hundreds of enemies he was facing.

"But don't worry, your mortal enemy is also my mortal enemy. My mortal enemy is truly a 'mortal' enemy."

The man gave a disdainful look: "You're about to die, and you're still being stubborn."

"District Chief Qin, you will regret this, but it will probably be too late for you to regret it."

Qin Tianchu suddenly laughed heartily, "That's why we'll never get along. How could you possibly understand some things?"

"Even if I die here now, I will have no regrets. I believe my daughter will be proud of me!"

"The only thing I regret in my life is abandoning my daughter. I have vowed never to do such a regrettable thing again since then."

"One should live life with a clear conscience and an open mind!"

"Boring sentimentality, uninteresting faith."
