Chapter 205: Disaster in the Pirate World

"All of them?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's heart skipped a beat.

Although she maintained her elegance, her gaze toward Borsalino was unkind as she repeated, "All of them?"

"All of them."

Kizaru nodded with lingering fear and said, "Whitebeard's Moby Dick, and Red-Haired's Red Force—it truly makes one feel terrified."

"Admiral Borsalino, please refrain from calling everyone a terrifying enemy in the future."

Even with Vice Admiral Tsuru's composure, she couldn't help but want to punch him.

It was no wonder Sengoku was often so infuriated that he would blow his beard and glare.

Kizaru was always like this; he would call million-level Pirates terrifying, and ten-million-level ones were also terrifying.

As it turned out, the entire Four Emperors Pirate Crew was also terrifying.

Could he not use a different adjective?

Because Vice Admiral Tsuru hadn't reacted in time, she said sternly, "The Four Emperors who rule the New World are all unimaginable enemies. The Navy cannot go to war without an order from the World Government. This is truly a difficult situation."

If it were just a single lieutenant of the Four Emperors, the Navy would not fear them, no matter how strong their strength.

However, two Four Emperors Pirate Crews were no longer just a contest of military force; it also involved political ideology.

Even if Sengoku were to have a falling out with the World Government, he had not declared independence. If he were to ignore the World Government's laws and rashly start a war, it would shake the morale of the rank-and-file Navy.

After all,

the core loyalty of most Navy bases lies with the World Government.

Kizaru said lazily, "There is one more thing that really gave this old man a big scare."

"When I was rushing over, I suddenly felt a palpitation, and then I discovered that turmoil had broken out across the Grand Line."

"Palpitation?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's gaze shifted, landing on those Cipher Pol agents holding the golden Den Den Mushi.

Just moments ago, when the Five Elders exchanged a massive amount of assets, everyone near Death Island felt that palpitation.

To think that even Kizaru in the Grand Line felt it?

She sensed that the problem was not simple and asked in a deep voice, "Riots?"

"Riots... no, this old man cannot say for sure. Should it be considered a natural disaster?"

Kizaru described it with some difficulty: "Some island nations were attacked by Sea Kings that appeared suddenly."

"Large islands like Alabasta are covered in oases swallowed by sandstorms."

"Some islands that were spring-like all year round with mild climates were visited by insect plagues, and all their food was devoured."

"Water 7 was submerged by storm surges, and the shipyards are all gone. Speaking of which, where will Navy Warships go for repairs in the future?"

The strangely toned voice struck Vice Admiral Tsuru's chest like a heavy hammer.

"You mean... natural disasters have broken out all over the Grand Line?"

Before Kizaru could answer,

not far away, the Heavenly Yaksha, who had seized a small pirate ship, let out a harsh laugh and said, "Vice Admiral Tsuru, it's not just the Grand Line."

Doflamingo looked at the Navy with schadenfreude and said loudly, "Just now, an executive of the Donquixote Family called me to say that a plague has broken out in Dressrosa. In just this short while, tens of thousands of people have already been infected."

"These tourists infected by the plague will likely leave Dressrosa very soon and spread it to all parts of the world."

Words spoken without restraint, and even deliberately raised in volume.

After being recorded by the Den Den Mushi, they were broadcast to screens all over the world.

"Shut your mouth, Heavenly Yaksha!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru, known as the Strategist General, guessed the worst outcome immediately and rebuked Doflamingo directly.

"Hehehehe..."

Doflamingo spread his hands indifferently and said, "Even if I don't say it, do you think the Revolutionary Army will remain silent?"

"Mr. Fang Yi, what exactly is going on here?"

The Leader of the Revolutionary Army wore an expression of suspicion.

The assets exchanged by the World Government were actually causing natural disasters across the world; what on earth was going on?

In an instant,

everyone's attention was drawn; they also had doubts and were looking forward to the Game Merchant answering the Revolutionary Army Leader's question.

"Terrible."

Although Vice Admiral Tsuru did not know the connection,

the Revolutionary Army Leader's inquiry had already confirmed that the world's natural disasters were related to the World Government; it was far too late to stop it.

"I have said that if a massive amount of assets is exchanged at once, the ocean will undergo some changes."

Fang Yi's gaze landed on the Sand Crocodile as he said, "Mr. Sand Crocodile should be very clear about the cause of this situation."

Seeing the Game Merchant staring at him, Crocodile suddenly felt his heart jump.

He knew the cause?

Could it be... Dance Powder!

Crocodile's eyes widened, feeling a sense of panic that his secret had been completely seen through.

The other party knew of his actions in Alabasta!

Crocodile bit the bullet and replied, "Mr. Fang Yi, are you referring to Dance Powder?"

Fang Yi nodded gently and said, "That's right."

Facing the inquisitive gazes of countless Navy and Pirates, Crocodile said, "As everyone knows, I am the hero who saved Alabasta, so I am aware that Alabasta possesses a special item."

Saying it half-truthfully was better than having his secret exposed by the Game Merchant.

In that case,

his plan for Alabasta would be ruined, he would be unable to continue searching for Pluton, and the losses would be heavy.

"Dance Powder?"

"My hometown is Alabasta, I know, that is a kind of powder that can summon rain!"

A Pirate suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

Hearing him say this, some people gradually recalled it.

"I remember now, it seems this kind of powder has been explicitly banned by the World Government, because this kind of rain-summoning powder does not actually create rain out of thin air, but rather overdraws the rainfall of surrounding neighboring countries..."

The voice came to an abrupt halt.

Those with slightly sharper minds had already caught on.

Fang Yi saw that most people had vaguely guessed it, and he slowly opened his mouth to explain: "Beli can be exchanged for Reward Points because there is a massive amount of assets supporting them behind the scenes."

"Resource veins, gold and silver jewelry, rare medicinal herbs, special shells..."

"The grain grown by a kingdom, the resources mined, and even the manpower that can be utilized, are all the reasons why Beli can be exchanged for Reward Points."

The voice fell.

Some Nobles and Leaders who had figured out the crux of the matter immediately began to tremble all over.

They had previously entertained the idea of secretly printing more Beli to exchange with the game merchant for various destiny items.

Anyway,

Beli is just a piece of paper currency; as long as they were willing, they could print as much as they wanted.

Pausing,

Fang Yi continued to explain: "Just like Alabasta, the assets it can produce annually are roughly 400,000 Reward Points."

"A portion of this will be naturally absorbed by the Alabasta Kingdom, giving birth to new oases, becoming nutrients for farmland, strengthening the physical fitness of the Alabasta citizens, magnificent palaces, rain falling from the sky..."

The origin is like a panacea that can heal the world, constantly circulating and nourishing the world.

"The remaining portion..."

Fang Yi gently flicked the space in front of him in front of everyone.

The next second,

space was torn open into a crack, revealing the island of the Alabasta Kingdom on the other side.

His fingertip landed lightly on the sky of Alabasta,

on the other side,

all the commoners of Alabasta looked in terror at the giant finger that had suddenly appeared in the sky,

"Divine punishment?"

"It is the punishment of the Desert Goddess, punishing the sinful citizens of Alabasta!"

The commoners knelt and bowed one after another.

Some ambitious people were also panicked, but they mustered a shred of courage to start causing trouble, preaching the Desert Goddess's punishment to the commoners who were scared silly, and taking the opportunity to seize food and water.

The Leader of the rebel army,

Kosa, who was trying hard to remain calm, let out a roar: "Everyone, there is no Desert Goddess! If there really were a God, how could they let this country become so dry that even its tears have run out?"

"Only our own hands are the Gods that can save this country!"
