Of course, another reason is that since he has accepted Luffy as his subordinate, he should act like a big brother. Just like Liu Yiqiang and the others became his support, he took full responsibility for them. Although he is usually unreliable, he never let them have any accidents. Even if there are accidents, he can make up for them.
"Alright, you'd better be mentally prepared, because this training might not be what you expect..."
Li Wei's expression was a bit strange.
"Don't worry, Luffy's older brother. After seeing what just happened, we feel that we can accept anything you do next."
Nami said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, yeah, Luffy's big brother, we can accept it," Usopp chimed in.
And so the training officially began—
Nami: "Holy crap, my hands are glowing, getting hot, and they can even generate lightning and release dark clouds!"
Usopp: "Nami, my eyes are shooting light!"
"Usopp, get out of my way! You're blinding me! No way, you owe me 100,000 Berries!"
Usopp's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Nami, you can't do this!"
"Oh no—my lower body turned into the wind! Oh no! My legs were blown away and assimilated by the wind! Luffy's big brother, help me…"
"Nami-san, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Nami was horrified to see Sanji running naked, his body engulfed in flames and all his clothes burned off.
There's a pervert here!
"Even a terrified Nami-san is so beautiful..."
With hearts gleaming in his eyes, Sanji's flames now flared even more intensely.
"Mountain, mountain control?"
Zoro, standing to the side, was sweating profusely as he looked at the sword in his hand, a sign that he couldn't control it.
"Hey, you jerk, have you ever heard of the swordsman's saying 'no sword is better than a sword'?"
One of the weapons in his hand was speaking.
"Can you please shut up..."
At this moment, Usopp exclaimed again, "Luffy, my fingers have turned into vines... Holy crap, Luffy, how did you turn into a pig?"
Apart from Robin, who had the foresight to back out of the agreement with Li Wei in time, everyone else in the group was thrown into chaos.
In fact, after considering their later performance, Li Wei endowed them with some rather unique abilities. As for why Luffy turned into a pig, it was purely an accident...
Yeah, it's okay, he can make it back!
……
While Li Wei was training the Straw Hat Pirates, another event that sparked discussion arose in both the New World and the first half of the Grand Line.
That is, the Navy Headquarters has decided to send Akainu with a team of several vice admirals to retake Alabasta, and they will depart immediately.
Just when most people thought that the pirates of Alabasta, namely Li Wei who occupied the area, were doomed, shocking news soon broke out—
Akainu was blocked outside Alabasta and couldn't even enter its territory.
Another day passed, and news of Akainu's serious injury and escape, along with the Navy's defeat, spread like wildfire, shaking the entire Grand Line.
"That reincarnator named Li Wei seems to be quite strong. His team is also quite powerful; they were able to defeat one of their top generals at this stage."
"Alabasta, I've had this question for a while now. Wasn't it occupied by the Tyrant's successor and his group?"
"They probably got what they wanted, or they left for other reasons, leaving Li Wei's gang to take advantage."
These are discussions among the reincarnators; as for the local residents, the resulting uproar is even greater.
In no time, Li Wei's reputation as a natural disaster became well-known throughout the Grand Line and the four seas.
Defeat the general!
This is a very impressive achievement.
According to news reports, Li Wei, the calamity, actually possessed the Storm-Storm Fruit, which allowed him to naturally transform into wind, giving him a geographical advantage over the island of Alabasta and enabling him to repel Akainu.
They couldn't help but marvel. A user of the Storm-Storm Fruit—no wonder it was named Calamity. Some who had heard of Li Wei before suddenly realized that the Storm-Storm Fruit could indeed cause great disasters.
The Storm-Storm Fruit, when used against magma abilities, offers a significant advantage in aerial combat. No wonder the Admiral was defeated, but even so, it is still astonishing.
Some believe that this is another future overlord about to emerge, and perhaps in a few years, he will be able to rival the Four Emperors.
Li Wei's bounty suddenly increased to 800 million Berries. From 300 million to 800 million, this increase is considerable.
Half a month after this incident, another piece of news related to Alabasta stirred up a storm on the Grand Line.
Because many people received invitations from Alabasta, the invitations spread outwards from areas near Alabasta.
The invitation stated that Alabasta was preparing to hold a banquet, and all those who received the invitation were required to attend, or face the consequences.
People couldn't help but think of Big Mom's tea party, which was similar in that anyone who didn't follow the invitation would suffer terrible retribution and be bloodily wiped out.
Has this Li Wei, the calamity of nature, become so arrogant that he really thinks he can rival the Four Emperors?
They wondered whether this was genuine capability or simply an overconfidence and arrogance.
The people who received this invitation came from all walks of life, including journalists, notorious pirates, naval officers, World Government officials, and famous bounty hunters.
This invitation quickly spread to the New World, and even... reached Whole Cake Island, the territory of the Yonko Big Mom!
This is something to ponder. Some people who know Big Mom's reputation are even more shocked, thinking that Li Wei is courting death by openly provoking the Four Emperors.
Sure enough, the invitation was reportedly torn up on the spot by Big Mom, and even the monster that delivered the invitation was killed on the spot.
Her actions gave people a sense that a storm was brewing. Everyone knew that Li Wei couldn't let the natural disaster go unpunished, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
On that day, Li Wei received a phone call that was transferred from Alabasta.
"Li Wei, do you think you're so great just because you have a little fame and can defeat a few small-time pirates?"
"This world is much bigger than you imagine. A newcomer like you, still struggling in the first half of the Grand Line, is really courting death."
Come to the new world!
Big Mom shouted into the Den Den Mushi.
"If you've got the guts, come to the New World! I'll be waiting for you here!"
"Wait for me?" Li Wei said calmly.
"A mere Yonko, why should I bother with him?"
Chapter 415 [Sixth Update] Just a mere Four Emperors
"A mere Yonko? You're quite the talker, Li Wei, the Disaster."
Through the Den Den Mushi, came the disdainful and sinister laughter of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors.
"Soon, I will send my children to visit you Alabasta. Don't be arrogant just because you were able to defeat a general."
“There’s no need for you to come over,” Li Wei replied calmly.
"Oh? Scared? Li Wei, don't think that a casual apology can quell my anger."
"Did you misunderstand something?"
Li Wei said expressionlessly, “The invitation I sent through my creation should have mentioned that if you are absent, you will bear the consequences. Not only did you not plan to come, but you also tore up the invitation and destroyed the temporary physical body of my creation.”
"Don't think you're in the new world; even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you'll pay the price."
"Make me pay the price? We'll see," Big Mom said mockingly.
Li Wei hung up the Den Den Mushi and then dialed another one.
"Lord Natural Disaster?"
"it's me."
"What are your orders?"
"Which number had its physical body destroyed?"
"Reporting to you, sir, it is number 48237. But there is no problem. She has just been resurrected and is consolidating her body in the Reincarnation Pool of the City of Rebirth."
"You know about this, what should you do?"
"Yes, sir, I plan to send Number 13 and Number 17 to Cake Island."
“No, let number 4 go.” Li Wei said without room for argument.
"...Number 4? Okay, I'll tell him right now to go to Whole Cake Island immediately."
"ASAP."
"Yes, ma'am. I'll have number 38 give number 4 a ride. We should be able to reach Whole Cake Island by tomorrow during the day."
"Okay," Li Wei replied, then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
The Straw Hat crew overheard Luffy's older brother arguing with one of the Four Emperors.
Robin asked worriedly, "Luffy's older brother, is it really okay for him to clash with one of the Four Emperors?"
If Li Wei were to personally go and fight Big Mom one-on-one, Robin would think he would have a good chance of winning. However, the reason why the Four Emperors are the Four Emperors is that they are not only powerful themselves, but also have many powerful subordinates.
Li Wei can only be considered a newly emerging powerhouse. Even though his strength is amazing, many ants can kill an elephant, and Li Wei is ultimately too isolated.
Moreover, judging from Li Wei's intention to only send two men, Robin lacked confidence in Li Wei.
She believed that Li Wei could defeat the Four Emperors, but she still found it hard to have confidence that Li Wei could break into the territory of one of the Four Emperors with only two subordinates.
"That's right, Luffy's big brother, your problems are our problems. Just let us know if you need anything, and we'll help you."
"Sanji said, still on fire."
"Luffy's big brother, although we are not strong, we can still help in some way."
Nearby, a pig was squealing anxiously, seemingly trying to say something.
"Big brother Luffy, excuse me... could you please turn Luffy back to normal first?" Usopp's eyes shone like two high-powered light bulbs: "And could you please stop my eyes from glowing? I haven't had my allowance for half a year..."
Li Wei said with a strange expression, "You guys... actually don't want to train anymore, right?"
"How could that be? Luffy's big brother is so kind, we won't let you down, hahaha..." Nami laughed to hide her true feelings.
"Um... could you please shut these swords up?" Zoro couldn't help but step forward at this moment, because these swords were really annoying.
The pig that Luffy turned into started squealing again.
"Luffy, you're so noisy! I can't understand what you're saying."
Without hesitation, Nami punched Luffy's pig-headed head.
"Alright, you don't need to think about this anymore. Just stay here and train. We'll have results soon."
Li Wei refused, saying, "You're joking. I just started to tease these guys. How could I let them go? Besides, they really wouldn't be of any help. Even if they shouted '666,' it would be too late given their boat's speed."
Shouting at the graves of the Four Emperors would be more appropriate.
As for playing a serious older brother role, Li Wei probably has to completely abandon his original persona.
"Luffy's older brother, why do I feel like you're joking with us?"
"No, I am training you very seriously."
"I'm Luffy's older brother, would I betray you? Would I betray my own people?"
Seeing Li Wei's confident yet humiliated expression, the Straw Hat crew were skeptical.
They vaguely felt that Luffy's older brother was just as unreliable as Luffy in some ways, but there was nothing they could do; they were already on the pirate ship.
……
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, burst into laughter after Li Wei hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Mom, is there anything to be happy about?"
Just then, a girl walked in from outside.
"Brin, listen to me! A mere newcomer with a bounty of 800 million actually dares to say he's coming to the New World to settle accounts with me!" Big Mom laughed wildly, then grabbed a few pastries from the side and stuffed them into her mouth.
"He probably doesn't know how formidable Mom is. Let his older brothers and sisters teach him a lesson."
Brin said, "Once they've been disciplined, they'll honestly apologize to their mother."
