Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

"Stay away from it!"

"How could a meteorite have landed in such a desolate place?!"

"Weiwei, what are you standing there for? Run!"

The group panicked. Although the meteor was not expected to land this way, they still felt uneasy.

This meteor wasn't big, but its speed was just too fast. Who knows how much of a commotion it caused when it crashed down at such a speed!

However, to their surprise, the next scene was one they would never forget...

As the meteorite fell, it inexplicably veered off course when it was less than a hundred meters from the ground, moving laterally in another direction while maintaining its speed as it flew into the distance...

Along the way, the yellow sand on the ground was constantly stirred up like ocean waves, splashing several meters high, and then directly transformed by the terrifying high temperature attached to the meteorite, turning into a pile of small white particles.

The scene was extremely horrifying, and the intense visual impact was truly shocking!

Soon, the meteorite disappeared, and after a while, an explosion was heard from a very distant place.

It must have made quite a commotion. Flying at that speed for so long before hitting an object, it must have been hundreds of miles away, and you could still hear a pretty loud noise!

"Meteorites...can bend?"

After a while, while Weiwei and the others were still in a daze, someone stammered out a sentence.

"No, look, there's someone over there!"

One of them, with sharp eyes, spotted a person standing not far away in the direction where the meteor had originally fallen.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked over.

really!

The person was staring at the direction the meteor flew after it turned a corner, as if deep in thought.

But then, his figure vanished like lightning, as if no one had ever stood there.

"Could it be... that he did it? Who could possess such terrifying power!" On Vivi's side, one of them said in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"It could be one of our Baroque leaders. I think I've heard that a year ago, a high-ranking officer summoned a meteorite and wiped out several troublesome pirate crews, causing quite a stir."

"That's really terrifying. Forget it, that's not something for small fry like us to worry about. Let's hurry up and hunt down those pirates."

"Failure to complete the mission will result in punishment!"

"Weiwei, stop standing there and hurry up and catch up!"

The group chatted amongst themselves as they set off, glancing back to call out to Weiwei, who was still in shock.

Having witnessed such power, she was already emotionally turbulent, and now hearing this news completely panicked her!

The leader of the Baroques? There's someone this terrifying here?!

She couldn't believe it!

Forcing herself to regain her composure, Weiwei followed after them, asking the group about the incident.

But the result disappointed her. These people had only been in Baroque for a short time and had only heard rumors, so it was hard to say whether they were true or not.

The person from just now was naturally Luo Feng!

He was testing the results of his training and needed to summon a meteorite. Naturally, he couldn't do it in the training ground, otherwise, he would have destroyed that pure land!

So whenever he needs to summon a meteorite, he comes to this desert. This kind of place is safe from destruction, so he can do whatever he wants there.

The fact that he managed to make the meteorite change direction was something he had mastered after extensive training in gravity manipulation.

His abilities in all aspects have more than doubled compared to a year ago, including his great progress in the application of gravity and repulsion!

He used his own gravity to forcibly change the trajectory of a meteorite at high speed within a certain range, and he has now succeeded more than halfway!

The trajectory can already drive change; with continued training, it will eventually become fluid and move as one pleases.

As for the meteorites he can control, they are still relatively small. The limit is roughly the same as the meteorites he summoned a year ago, which is about the size of a villa.

After all, this is much more difficult. In addition to requiring equivalent physical strength, it also has very strict requirements for controlling gravity!

To be able to achieve this level now is already incredibly impressive!

This undoubtedly boosted his combat power significantly. Just imagine, during a battle, suddenly controlling a falling meteorite and hitting it precisely wherever he pointed—wouldn't that be terrifying?!

Chapter Seventeen: Weiwei's Imagination

Luo Feng's experiment was over, and he had long since returned to the training ground.

Not long after, Vivi and her group returned. The mission had failed, the intelligence was wrong, and the pirates had already fled the country and gone to sea.

In this way, the people being hunted changed, and they weren't punished, so they naturally returned much sooner.

Upon returning, Vivi remained uneasy and temporarily abandoned taking on new missions, instead inquiring about summoning meteorites.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. In three whole days, she had almost finished organizing the information.

Codenamed Mr.1, he took action more than a year ago to suppress the troublesome pirates, summoned a meteor, and caused a tsunami that submerged nearly half of the Rainland!

There are even rumors that Mr. 1 and Crocodile fought each other, supposedly ending in a draw, but the specifics are unknown and have not been revealed.

As for the summoning of meteorites, it's not a secret at all. Not only did it happen a year ago, but this phenomenon has been appearing in the desert from time to time throughout the past year.

After all, the commotion was too great to hide; it would inevitably be noticed eventually.

Rumors are circulating that it was Mr. 1 training!

Looking at the documents in her hand and hearing these rumors from others, Weiwei was shocked!

She was certain that the person she had met was the same person as the rumored Mr. 1.

How could such terrifying abilities possibly overlap? Moreover, the person today was even controlling a meteorite without engaging in combat, which perfectly matches the rumors of training!

"How could this be... Why are such terrifying people all appearing in Alabasta!"

"Why does it have to be Baroque City! With Crocodile!"

In a deserted place, Weiwei's voice was hoarse as she growled softly.

She was somewhat desperate. Although she didn't know what Baroque's purpose was, she was certain it was detrimental to Alabasta.

Crocodile alone has made their royal family live in constant fear, and now another terrifying figure has emerged who is no weaker than him!

If such people really have any ideas about this country, what can they use to stop them?

Perhaps giving up directly and handing over the country is the best option... at least, we might be able to survive.

Weiwei knelt on the ground, looking up at the sky, two lines of clear tears falling down her face. The more she thought about it, the more desperate she felt.

Because there's really absolutely no other way!

"Quack..." The giant duck beside her, Karu, was also Vivi's mount.

Seemingly aware of Weiwei's situation, it stretched out a wing to touch her, offering comfort with a worried expression.

"Karu, what do you think... we should do?" Vivi asked, crying.

After a while, Weiwei stopped crying, seemingly emerging from that emotion, and began to ponder deeply.

"We absolutely cannot abandon this country! Think carefully, there must be a way!"

Weiwei gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.

"That's right!"

She jolted awake, as if remembering something, and quickly opened her Baroque identity card, finding the line for the team leader.

"Mr. 1, it really is him!"

Vivi looked somewhat excited. Since arriving in Baroque and being assigned to a group, she hadn't seen her group leader. Her mind wasn't on that; she was mainly there to infiltrate, so she hadn't paid any attention to it.

But now, with no other options left, she came up with a solution that could hardly be called a solution!

"No matter how low the success rate is, I have to try. There's really no other way!"

She was going to find Luo Feng and do everything in her power to turn him against her!

According to rumors, this mysterious leader's strength is at least on par with Crocodile's. If one can persuade him to help, Crocodile will be unable to attack this country.

It sounds like a fantasy. They're from the Baroque era, why would they help her fight Crocodile?

Vivi made up her mind, straightened her clothes, and led Karu toward the Baroque headquarters.

"What? You're looking for Mr. 1?!"

In headquarters, a junior official looked at Weiwei in surprise.

"I advise you to give up on that idea. I heard that even the BOSS has to go there in person if you need to talk to him, let alone a newbie like you?"

Hearing this, Vivi became even more determined to find Mr. 1!

Someone Crocodile would treat like this is worth a gamble; if successful, both problems will be solved!

“He’s my team leader, and I have something I’d like to ask him…” she persisted.

"It's no use, don't even think about it. The members of the first group are just nominal members, just there to make the group size more even and easier to count. Why would Mr. 1 have the time to bother with such insignificant people?"

The junior official sneered and spoke arrogantly, as if his status was high enough that he was not among the common people and could see the other party at any time.

There was nothing she could do; it simply wouldn't make sense. Weiwei could only keep trying to ask people, constantly changing her words in the process, afraid that someone would notice something amiss.

"Mr.1's training ground? It's over there, about fifty kilometers away."

Finally, an elder who had once relayed Luo Feng's message pointed Weiwei in the right direction.

He also kindly warned, "Don't go near that area. Mr. 1 said that unless he actively summons someone, no one is allowed to enter the training ground!"

"You'll be killed, so don't do anything reckless."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Vivi was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. She then left the headquarters, rode Karu, and headed towards that area.

Karu, nicknamed "Fast Runner," was indeed fast, and soon arrived at the outer edge of this pristine land.

"Halt! What are you doing? Don't go near the cadres' training ground!"

As soon as Weiwei arrived, one of the million elders who were specifically responsible for patrolling came out and stopped her.

"Get out of the way! The boss has a message for Mr. 1!"

Upon hearing the two highest-level titles of the working group, the million-strong elderly man was startled and quickly made way for them.

There was no doubt whatsoever, because no one dared to trespass on Luo Feng's training ground!
