Chapter 149: Can You Even Let People Eat in Peace! (First Update — Begging for Flowers)

Sky Island has its own unique set of laws,

but their design purpose is not to restrain the residents of Sky Island,

rather, it is to induce the people of Qinghai to commit more crimes,

scheming to pin all sorts of charges on the heads of the people of Qinghai,

thereby serving the purpose of killing the chicken to warn the monkey for the residents of Sky Island!

Even if Li Xiao really paid that 1 billion Yike entry fee,

what awaited him next would still be a series of other charges!

Such as environmental destruction, intimidation, theft, and destruction of Sky Island property,

and also the current obstruction of official duties!

As for the Yunfu Exile punishment for obstruction of official duties,

it is actually a death sentence!

And the punishments for the other charges are all more or less the same,

nothing more than two kinds — compensation and death!

The number of people from Qinghai who can reach Sky Island is already small,

and it is precisely because of this law targeting the people of Qinghai,

that even fewer people from Qinghai can walk out of Sky Island!

Most of them, after compensating with all the money on them,

will be pinned with new charges,

and sentenced to death!

Even if by some luck they manage to leave Sky Island,

upon leaving they must still pay another departure fee,

the amount being twice the entry fee,

that is, 2 billion Yike!

Although Li Xiao had long anticipated being sought out when he entered Sky Island,

he never expected,

that this Sky Island white beret army, with only a handful of members in total,

would be so efficient at finding people!

They didn't come early, didn't come late,

they just had to come during a meal!

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao couldn't help feeling a bit impatient,

let out a cold snort,

and the pressure belonging to the Late Stage of Deity Transformation was released in full!

Due to Li Xiao's cultivation base breaking through once again,

the pressure he now released,

compared to back then in the desert of Alabasta,

when he intimidated the giant Sandora lizard, was even stronger by quite a bit!

Under this powerful pressure,

the members of the white beret troops had almost no resistance at all,

and the entire group instantly collapsed to the ground!

Although they were still conscious,

they were completely unable to control their own bodies,

and deep in their eyes was a look of fear stemming from biological instinct!

Deep within his eyes still lingered the instinctive fear of a living creature!

Li Xiao no longer planned to bother with them,

lowered his head and prepared to continue his meal!

However,

just at this moment,

up in the sky,

lightning began to flicker faintly.

The next second,

a massive thunder pillar descended from the heavens,

directly enveloping the entire restaurant where Li Xiao was within the thunder pillar!

Under the tremendous destructive force of this thunder pillar,

the surrounding houses instantly collapsed,

countless Sky Island residents fled in panic,

scurrying about in utter fright!

A moment later,

that thunder pillar began to slowly shrink,

That bolt of lightning began to slowly shrink,

until it dissipated into the air.

Only to see, above the restaurant where Li Xiao was,

the Purple-Gold Exquisite Pagoda was slowly rotating,

the golden light it shed completely enveloped the entire restaurant,

beneath this heaven-destroying, earth-shattering pillar of lightning,

it stubbornly didn't suffer even the slightest bit of damage!

However,

at this moment, inside the restaurant,

Li Xiao's face had already completely darkened!

Just simply having a meal,

how come he kept being interrupted over and over again!

What did a rice-eater ever do to anyone?

Did he eat your family's rice?

Enel!

I haven't even gone to find trouble with you yet,

and you goddamn came to find trouble with me first!

Just because you ate a Rumble-Rumble Fruit,

and got Observation Haki on top of it,

you really think you're a god?

You're truly a bat with chicken feathers tied on — what kind of bird do you think you are?

Endure for a moment, the more you think about it the angrier you get,

step back a step, the more you think about it the more you feel at a loss!

Li Xiao immediately stopped eating,

recalled the Purple-Gold Exquisite Pagoda,
