One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Fiona said irritably, "Is it that bad?"

"It's not that it tastes bad, it's disgusting. After eating it, everyone was resisting the taste. There's nothing more disgusting in the world. Luckily, the taste went away quickly," Felina said, while looking at Lin Yi.

He asked, "Brother Lin Yi, what did you feel when you ate it?"

"I didn't feel anything. The one I ate was very small. I ate the whole fruit together," Lin Yi lied a little. His Devil Fruit was a modified version of the Devil Fruit given to him by the system, without any side effects. It was not only not disgusting, but also quite delicious.

Filina's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Um, this cloud fruit is quite big. Even if I told you, you couldn't swallow it in one bite," Lin Yi said innocently.

"Alright, thankfully it's only one bite, otherwise I might not have had the courage to finish the rest."

"Big Sister, quickly show us the power of this fruit!" Da Pan said.

"Haha, watch this!"

A cloud of white smoke gathered beneath Da Pan's bottom, gradually forming a cloud that lifted Da Pan up and made him float around the room.

This made Da Pan very happy, and he played around on the cloud, touching this and that, and occasionally jumping around on it.

Lin Yi and the others walked to the side of the cloud and reached out to touch it. The cloud felt like cotton, soft and textured.

"Is this the only kind of cloud you can conjure up?" Lin Yi asked.

"Of course not, hehe," Felina said with a wicked smile. With a gentle wave of her hand, the white cloud turned black, and Da Pan fell from it. Before he could react, a small bolt of lightning struck his head, making his soft hair stand on end.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Da Pan's disheveled appearance, the group laughed without any restraint. The one who laughed the loudest was Filina, the instigator.

"You've gone too far, Boss Felina," Da Pan said resentfully.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I'll have Chiyo make you something delicious, hahaha," Felina said, laughing loudly as she apologized, which made Da Pan roll his eyes repeatedly.

After the others finished laughing, Lin Yi asked, "Philina, what's the maximum power you can achieve with this kind of attack?"

Felina thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics yet; we'll have to test it to find out."

"Then let's try it in the open space outside the hotel," Lin Yi said, and the others agreed.

Once outside, Lin Yi said, "Try attacking me with your strongest attack."

Felina wasn't afraid of hurting Lin Yi. She gathered a large patch of dark clouds in the sky, and with a "boom," a huge bolt of lightning struck Lin Yi.

The lightning struck Lin Yi, but he did not activate his defense. With his current physical strength, it was clear that the lightning could not break through his defenses.

After carefully assessing the situation, he said, "The lightning attack is probably only strong enough to injure a naval lieutenant commander. Your physique is still too weak."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's assessment, Felina quietly stuck out her tongue.

He glanced helplessly at Felina. "Although your strength has improved after eating the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, you still need to continue your training. The biggest advantage of Logia-type Devil Fruits is the ability to transform into elements, and the condition for achieving this is that your physique must reach a certain level. The Cloud-Cloud Fruit allows you to fly. If you develop the fruit to the point of elemental transformation and fly into the sky, there will be far fewer people who can threaten you. So you can't be lazy."

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded," Felina muttered under her breath, pouting.

"Besides creating clouds and thunder, what other abilities does it have?" Ignoring Felina's rambling, Lin Yi asked.

"After eating the fruit, I can also sense changes in the weather. I have a feeling that if I develop it to a certain extent, I will be able to intervene in the weather," Felina said earnestly.

"Then, Big Sister, does that mean we won't encounter storms anymore?" Da Pan, who had been badly ravaged by storms before, asked hopefully.

"Uh, not yet, I have to wait until I develop the fruit more thoroughly," Felina said apologetically to Da Pan.

Da Pan was somewhat disappointed, but then said firmly, "Big Sister Felina, I will supervise your training."

"Ah, no!" Filina said, on the verge of tears.

But Da Pan completely ignored Felina's cries of distress. In order to prevent her from getting seasick, he was determined to strictly supervise Felina's training.

"Hahahaha," the group burst into laughter at the sight of Felina's reluctant expression.

"Alright, it's decided then. Felina's training will be handled by Da Pan and Fiona. Oh, and Chiyo, even though you're a chef and not a combatant, you still need to work hard to become stronger," Lin Yi said to Chiyo.

"Good Captain" Chiyo had no objection to the training and was even very interested in it; she didn't want to be protected all the time.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest. Chiyo was pulled into her room by Felina, who really liked Chiyo.

The next morning, Lin Yi took Duotai and Simon to visit Qingjiao. He wanted to ask Qingjiao about the issue of domineering aura, since Qingjiao was an expert in this area.

As for the three girls, Felina, Fiona, and Chiyo, they continued to play in the Flower Kingdom, while Da Pan acted as their bodyguard. Of course, Felina didn't mistreat him and bought him a lot of delicious food.

Chapter 21 Leaving the Flower Country

After making inquiries from various sources, Lin Yi located the location of the violent group.

The headquarters of Green Pepper's violent gang is located in a shipyard in the Flower Country. It's a large area where muscular men can be seen working everywhere.

Lin Yi led Simon and Dota to the dock, where a group of burly men stood guard at the entrance, eyeing them warily. After Lin Yi explained their purpose, the guards went inside to report.

Before long, a hearty laugh rang out, "Haha, young friend Lin Yi, I was just wondering whether I should come to see you!" It turned out that Qingjiao had come out to greet him personally.

"Oh, is there something you need, Senior Green Pepper?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled, as he followed Green Pepper into the camp.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that you and Qianchuan Junyu's little affair. I've already warned him, and he won't cause you any more trouble. He also sent an apology yesterday. I have a mission to go to sea in three days, so I thought I'd let you know to avoid any unpleasantness," Qingjiao said.

"You're too kind, Senior Green Pepper. It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart," Lin Yi said casually.

“Young friend Lin Yi may not mind, but my Flower Kingdom cannot fail to express its gratitude,” Green Pepper said solemnly.

Lin Yi nodded, not wanting to discuss this topic any further.

Inside the shipyard, well-trained men were bustling about. Qingjiao led them to a large hall, where everyone sat down. Qingjiao squinted at Lin Yi and the others, saying, "Young friend Lin Yi, what brings you here?"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Senior Green Pepper, you can just call me Lin Yi. I've come to learn about the art of domineering techniques from you, and I'd also like to receive some guidance from you. After all, you're an expert in this field."

"Haha, Lin Yi, your domineering aura is no less than mine. You must have inherited the cultivation of domineering aura, right? Didn't your master pass on this knowledge to you?" Green Pepper asked in confusion.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I don't have a master. I learned my domineering aura through a tattered notebook, and there are many flaws in my cultivation of it."

In fact, the system provides a very comprehensive cultivation method, but it's like giving you a cultivation manual. Having someone to teach you and not having someone to teach you are two different things. Having someone to guide you will save you from taking many detours.

"Your talent puts me to shame. At your age, I was still being trained by my father, while you have almost reached the pinnacle of this world," Green Pepper said.

He then earnestly shared his experience and tips for cultivating Armament Haki with Lin Yi, which can be roughly divided into two types. One is to constantly train the body until it is in a state of extreme limit, at which point Armament Haki will naturally awaken. After that, one should also continuously train the body's strength to make the Haki even more powerful.

The second method is to have someone with Haki continuously beat your body with Armament Haki, so that your body can sense the presence of Haki and awaken Armament Haki. After that, you still need to continuously train your physical strength.

Regardless of the method, they all have one thing in common: physical strength. The higher the physical strength, the stronger the domineering aura.

Observation Haki is related to mental strength, and this depends on the individual. Generally, as combat experience increases, Observation Haki will naturally strengthen.

Only one in a million people might awaken Conqueror's Haki; it's related to a person's will and cannot be taught by others.

Besides these green peppers, he also talked about his training methods for enhancing Armament Haki by crashing into icebergs.

This gave Lin Yi a clearer understanding of how to cultivate domineering aura.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Senior Green Pepper. It has given me a clearer idea of ​​the direction of my cultivation," Lin Yi said gratefully.

"Haha, don't be so polite. It's my honor to be able to help a genius like you," Green Pepper laughed.

"Senior Green Pepper, I've come here again to ask you something. Do you know anything about the Fish-Men?"

Green Pepper looked at Simon and Dote and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Lin Yi continued, "These are my two partners. This is Simon, and this is Dota."

Lin Yi explained.

Simon and Dota called out, "Senior Green Pepper!"

"I remember you, Dotay. You were the one who beat my two grandsons last time, weren't you? You're quite strong," Green Pepper said to Dotay.

"It was just a fluke," Dota said modestly.

"Senior Green Pepper, Dota and Simon's physical strength is already comparable to some Navy Rear Admirals, but they have never been able to awaken Haki. Do you know why?" Lin Yi asked.

Green Pepper pondered for a moment and said, "When I was young, I also ventured into the Grand Line and saw many fish-men. But without exception, apart from being physically stronger than ordinary humans, none of them possessed Haki. Some scientists studied this back then, but they couldn't find the specific reason. However, some people later speculated that it was related to the fish-men's living environment. Fish-man Island, where the fish-men live, lacks a substance called 'ki,' but no one knows exactly what ki is."

Upon hearing this, Simon and Dote lowered their heads in disappointment.

Lin Yi patted them on the shoulders and comforted them, "Don't worry, with your current strength, even a Marine Rear Admiral would have a hard time defeating you. Besides, I know that Fish-Men can learn Haki. Although I haven't found the method yet, believe me, I will find it."

“Yes, we believe in you, Captain,” Simon and Dote nodded simultaneously.

"Haha, Lin Yi, let's have another match!" Green Pepper said, full of fighting spirit.

"I couldn't be happier," Lin Yi said with a smile. He wasn't opposed to fighting Qingjiao; Qingjiao was a worthy opponent.

For the next three days, Lin Yi and his two companions stayed at the violent group's base, sparring with Qingjiao from time to time. Qingjiao would also give Simon and Dotai some combat guidance, which greatly improved their combat strength.

Three days passed quickly, and it was time for Qingjiao to go on her mission. Lin Yi and the other two said goodbye to Qingjiao.

"Senior Green Pepper, I apologize for bothering you these past few days, and thank you for your guidance," Lin Yi said gratefully.

"Thank you, senior green peppers," Simon and Dota bowed in thanks, having benefited greatly during this time.

"Haha, don't be shy," Green Pepper laughed heartily.

Lin Yi took out a storage ring and handed it to Qingjiao, saying, "Senior Qingjiao, this is a little gadget I made. You can bind it to you by dripping a drop of your blood on it. You'll know its specific function after you bind it to you. Thank you again for your hospitality, and I look forward to our next meeting."

After saying that, he left the violent group's base with Dota and Simon.

After watching Lin Yi and the other two leave, Qingjiao dripped a drop of blood onto the ring as Lin Yi had instructed. Instantly, Qingjiao could clearly sense a space about one cubic meter in size.

"Lin Yijun is truly an extraordinary person," Qingjiao thought, looking again in the direction Lin Yijun had left.

-

After returning to their lodgings, Felina and the others weren't at the hotel. Lin Yi and his two companions ate dinner and then soaked in the hot springs. They hadn't had a proper rest these past few days with the violent group, as they had been constantly sparring and fighting.

They stayed up until evening before Felina, the other two, and Xiong finally returned to the hotel carrying their bags.

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Did you have fun these past few days?"

"Haha, big brother, we've eaten a lot of delicious food!" This was Da Pan, who wasn't interested in anything else except food.

Felina jumped over excitedly, her eyes sparkling. "Brother Lin Yi, we encountered so many interesting things in the Flower Kingdom! Everywhere there were blooming flowers, all different colors, like a sea of ​​flowers."

We also attended the flower festival in the Land of Flowers, where people danced wearing clothes woven from flowers; it was especially beautiful.

“And another thing,” Da Pan said, his mouth full, his words muffled, “there’s a flower there called the Dream Fragrance Flower. Just smelling it makes you happy, like you’re floating in the air.”

“But the most interesting thing was that we met a flower fairy.” Felina approached Lin Yi mysteriously. “It was small and radiated a soft light. It led us through the flower bushes and showed us many wonderful little flowers that were hidden away.”

“That sounds really good,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes, and in the end it gave each of us a flower of blessing, which can protect us and keep us safe and well," Xiaomei said, taking out the still vibrant flower.

"You guys have to go together next time!" Felina said, shaking Lin Yi's hand.
