One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

"Okay, definitely." Lin Yi nodded indulgently.

"Have you encountered any trouble?"

"No, Senior Green Pepper's token is still very useful. Apart from a few hooligans being chased away by my sister, we didn't encounter any trouble," Felina said.

"That's good. We've finished what we needed to do in the Flower Country. We'll be leaving tomorrow with our supplies. Is there anything else you haven't finished?" Lin Yi asked.

The others shook their heads to indicate no, except for Chiyo, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi asked, "Chiyo, is there something you need?"

"Captain, may I go to pay my respects to my grandfather tomorrow? Also, I'd like to say goodbye to my father," Chiyo whispered.

"Of course, I'll go with you tomorrow. Leave the preparation of supplies to Felina and the others. And if anything comes up in the future, just tell us directly. Don't be so polite. We're partners, partners who can entrust their backs to each other," Lin Yi said earnestly.

The others nodded seriously as well.

"Okay, I will, thank you everyone," Chiyo said gratefully.

The next day, Lin Yi accompanied Chiyo to her grandfather's grave. Chiyo placed the flowers in her hand on the tombstone and gently told her grandfather about her upcoming voyage and the group of reliable companions she had made.

Lin Yi remained silent until Chiyo finished speaking and wiped away her tears. Only then did Lin Yi say, "Don't worry, I will protect Chiyo."

Afterwards, he went to the palace with Chiyo, where Green Pepper's token came in handy again. Upon meeting Chiyo's father and hearing that Chiyo was leaving the Flower Country to travel at sea, her father didn't say much. However, before parting, Chiyo's father solemnly bowed to Lin Yi and said, "Thank you for your help to Chiyo before. I entrust Chiyo to your care from now on."

Lin Yi didn't have much ill will towards Chiyo's father, nor did he have much affection for him. Chiyo's father was the kind of strict father who rarely spoke and rarely expressed his true feelings to his children.

Lin Yi nodded without making any promises. Chiyo glanced at her father with some reluctance, then turned and followed Lin Yi away.

Back on the ship, Felina and her companions had prepared all the supplies for their voyage. This trip to the Flower Kingdom was not only enjoyable, but they also found the chef they had been longing to meet, making it a very rewarding experience.

Lin Yi stood at the bow of the boat and shouted, "Friends, let's go!"

As Lin Yi's voice faded, the Traveler slowly sailed away from the port of the Flower Kingdom and continued its journey towards the sea.

Chapter 22 Daily life at sea

"The bitter sand, the feeling of it stinging my face..." Early in the morning, Lin Yi stood on the bow of the boat and sang loudly, even gesturing wildly when he got to the part.

Da Pan, who was training nearby, looked at his older brother with an expression as if he were crazy, not understanding what his brother was doing so early in the morning.

Noticing Da Pan's expression, Lin Yi looked at him unfriendly and asked, "What's wrong, Da Pan? Didn't your brother sing well?"

"Brother, do you want to hear the truth?"

"No need, I know it will sound great." Seeing that Da Pan couldn't come up with anything nice, Lin Yi decisively rejected his evaluation.

But Fiona, whose ears were sore from Lin Yi's singing, jumped off the second-floor training room.

“It sounds awful,” Fiona said coldly.

"Uh... then it must be your problem," Lin Yi said stubbornly.

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, ask Simon or Dota," Fiona glanced at Lin Yi disdainfully.

Simon and Dotay, who had just raised their sails, hadn't expected the fighting to reach them. They exchanged a glance and said in unison, "I'll go see if there's anything I can do in the kitchen."

"No need, breakfast is ready." At this moment, Chiyo came to the deck, ready to call them to eat.

"Yay, yay, let's eat!" Da Pan was the most enthusiastic about eating.

"Chiyo, do I sing badly?" Lin Yi asked, stopping Chiyo who was about to leave.

"Uh, it's alright," the kind-hearted Chiyo said, not wanting to dampen Lin Yi's confidence.

Then, Felina, who had appeared behind them unnoticed, said, "Brother Lin Yi, your singing is as good as my cooking."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lin Yi looked at Felina with a dark expression. Felina playfully stuck out her tongue and pulled Chiyo to eat.

From then on, the world of One Piece lost a great singer.

With Chiyo joining the crew, the food on the Travel Ship has improved from just being able to eat to being truly enjoyable; she is indeed a direct descendant of the royal chef of the Flower Country.

"Chiyo, your cooking is so delicious!" Da Pan said with a look of enjoyment as he patted his round belly.

"Yes, yes, Chiyo, you're amazing!" Felina hugged Chiyo and kissed her, making Chiyo blush.

"I'm glad you like it." She was very happy that Da Pan and the others enjoyed the food she made.

After the meal, Felina and Fiona helped Chiyo clear the dishes.

Simon returned to the lookout tower to observe the situation on the sea.

Dotay also returned to his job.

Sunlight shimmered on the calm lake. Lin Yi and Da Pan stood side-by-side at the bow of the boat, a gentle breeze caressing their faces. Each held a fine fishing rod, sitting leisurely, ready to enjoy the tranquility and pleasure of fishing.

Time ticked by, and Da Pan had already caught four or five fish. A smug smile spread across his face as he skillfully placed his catch into the bucket. In contrast, Lin Yi's fishing was rather deserted; his rod seemed frozen in place. Watching Da Pan's bountiful catch, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of doubt and envy.

Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, Lin Yi spoke up: "Da Pan, did you cheat? How could you catch so many fish so quickly!" His tone was full of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Da Pan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, shaking his head in denial as he laughed, "I didn't cheat! It's clearly just that your skills are too bad! You can't even catch a small fish, haha!" As he spoke, he deliberately made a face at Lin Yi, continuing to show off his achievements.

Lin Yi was furious, but he couldn't lash out.

Just then, Felina and Chiyo came over with drinks and some snacks, and asked, "How did it go, Brother Lin Yi? Did you get anything?"

"Hehe, boss, I caught five!" Da Pan's smug voice rang out.

"I just arrived, I just arrived," Lin Yi said, using the usual trick of a fisherman, while also glaring at Da Pan to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Knowing Lin Yi's personality well, Felina was kind enough not to expose his little scheme. She and Chiyo put down their drinks and snacks and then took Chiyo to the training room on the second floor. During this time, her sister had been keeping a close eye on her training.

Two hours later, Lin Yi gave up, realizing that he couldn't catch fish without using his domineering aura.

He put down his fishing rod, glanced at Da Pan who was still engrossed in the activity, and without disturbing him, got up and went to the training room on the second floor.

Fiona was doing squats while lifting two barbells that were bigger than her. Judging by the dripping sweat, she had been training for quite some time.

Felina and Chiyo were doing weighted running, with weighted sandbags on their bodies and feet.

Felina is doing well; she's done similar training before, and although she's sweating profusely, she seems able to keep going.

Chiyo, however, was no longer able to keep up. Carrying the weight, she could no longer run; it was more like walking. But she still gritted her teeth and persevered, though she had clearly reached her limit.

Lin Yi shook his head, stopped Chiyo, and said, "The training is fine, but your foundation is too weak. You can't overdo it, or you'll damage your foundation."

"Captain, I can continue. I want to get stronger," Chiyo said, her face flushed from training.

"Do you know better than I do?" Lin Yi scolded. Then, looking at the somewhat stubborn Chiyo, he said, "Becoming stronger takes time. Don't rush it. We're here; no one can hurt us."

“Alright, Captain,” Chiyo said, bowing her head.

Lin Yi patted her head and offered her a few words of comfort.

At that moment, Simon's voice rang out.

"Captain, three pirate ships are approaching us. We estimate they'll encounter them in about half an hour."

"Hey, hey, the pirate ship's over there! Let me handle this one!" Since eating the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Philina had been eager to test her fruit's power on pirates. So her voice was excited as she quickly took off her weights and dashed onto the deck.

Lin Yi and the others looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed him out.

Felina held the booklet of wanted posters and compared them with the flags of the pirate ships, quickly finding their wanted posters.

"The Leopard Pirates, captain Leopard Makarov, bounty 2600 million Berries, first mate Barbie Brown the Hunter, bounty 1360 million Berries, a first-rate swordsman. The Leopard Pirates have massacred three innocent villages in the North Blue, and 13 villages are known to have been plundered by them; they are an incredibly cruel pirate crew." As Felina recounted this, the crew members grew extremely angry.

"Damn pirates, they deserve to die," was their thought.

As the Leopard Pirates approached, cannonballs rained down on the Traveler, which Fiona deflected one by one with her sword.

Felina activated her Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability, and black clouds gathered above the Leopard Pirates. As the black clouds accumulated, a large area of ​​black clouds covered the sky above the Leopard Pirates.

Filina, her face pale from using her Devil Fruit powers extensively, said with a cold expression, "Divine Punishment."

As soon as the words fell, thick bolts of lightning struck the crew of the Leopard Pirates.

Many pirates were immediately struck and foamed at the mouth, convulsing on the ground, clearly beyond saving. However, many more pirates were only charred and swayed a few times, without losing their fighting ability.

Seeing that a quarter of his crew had already been lost before he even got close, Makarov, the leopard, was filled with rage and vowed to kill everyone on the opposite ship, leaving no one alive.

"Men, charge forward and kill them all!" Makarov roared.

"Kill them! Kill them!" the pirates shouted.

As the ship drew closer, Fiona, Da Pan, Simon, and Dota all used their shaving abilities to board the Leopard Pirates' ship. Meanwhile, Felina created two clouds that could carry people, taking herself and Chiyo into the air and occasionally striking the pirates with lightning.

Lin Yi stood quietly at the bow of the ship, watching to prevent any accidents from happening.

It was Lin Yi's idea to have Felina take Chiyo into the air, as the bloody battlefield was something every member of the Traveler had to experience.

The fierce battle unfolded without any unexpected twists. Simon and Dota took the lead, charging towards the two ships flanking the Leopard Pirates. Like tigers descending a mountain, they were ferocious, tearing their enemies apart in an instant.

Keep in mind that Simon and Dota possess the formidable strength of a Rear Admiral! Faced with such terrifying opponents, the ordinary pirates were utterly powerless to resist and could only watch in horror as their side was mercilessly slaughtered.

Under the fierce attack of these two formidable generals, the Leopard Pirates' defenses quickly crumbled. The once-arrogant pirates were now utterly despondent, never imagining they would encounter such powerful opponents. However, Simon and Dota showed no mercy to these wicked pirates, continuing their relentless slaughter, determined to annihilate the entire Leopard Pirates.

Faced with Fiona and Da Pan suddenly appearing on his ship, Makarov the Leopard was about to say something when Da Pan struck him with a stick, sending him crashing into the cabin like a cannonball.

An angry roar came from the cabin, and a humanoid leopard appeared in front of Da Pan.

"Oh, a Devil Fruit user? Then we can't just kill them." Lin Yi once said that when encountering a Devil Fruit user, one can spare their life.

Although I don't know why my older brother said that, I'll just do as he says.

"Aaaaah, you stinking bear, I'm going to kill you!" the leopard Makarov shouted angrily.

Da Pan curled his lip. "You? You're nothing. One hit from the stick."

Without a word, he raised his stick and struck, but Makarov was unexpectedly fast, and Da Pan's attack was dodged. Not only that, the careless Da Pan was also scratched by Makarov. Although it didn't break his defense, it still made Da Pan feel very embarrassed.

Da Pan used a "shave" to get to Makarov's side, and this time he didn't miss, breaking Makarov's waist with a single blow, rendering him unable to fight.

On the other side, Fiona encountered little resistance. The first-rate swordsman had his neck severed in one move, and the other pirates didn't even need to make a move. Wherever Fiona passed, a bloody gash appeared on the necks of the pirates, who clutched their necks and collapsed into pools of blood.

Five minutes later, Da Pan returned to the Traveler with Makarov the Leopard, while Fio, Simon, and Dota remained on the Leopard Pirate Ship to loot valuables and take photos as evidence.

“Big brother, this guy is a Devil Fruit user, and it seems to be a Zoan type,” Da Pan said, tossing Makarov onto the deck.

"Oh, I didn't expect such an unexpected gain," Lin Yi said with a smile. Although it wasn't a rare Devil Fruit, it was still worth at least 100 million Berries, which was quite good.

Felina brought Chiyo, who was pale and vomiting, back to the ship.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yi asked with concern.

Chiyo pursed her lips and shook her head without saying a word. Today's scene had greatly shocked her. She had never imagined that battle could be so cruel, with severed limbs and rivers of blood.
