One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Enel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at them with venom.

At this moment, the small floating island was covered with traces of destruction left by lightning. The once pristine white ground was now charred black, and buildings had collapsed into ruins. Occasionally, charred remains of creatures could be seen among the broken walls, emitting a pungent odor.

"Enel, when you destroyed Birka Island, did you find any historical documents they preserved?" Lin Yi asked in a cold voice.

"Heh, do you think I, the god, care about the history of these ants?" Enel said disdainfully.

"Do you know where they keep their historical documents?" Lin Yi asked, frowning.

"Hahaha, I've been ostracized by these lowly people since I was a child. Do you think I would ever come into contact with them?" Enel said with a somewhat ferocious expression.

"Enel, I advise you not to test my patience, or I have many ways to make you wish you were dead," Lin Yi said coldly to Enel.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's threat, Enel thought for a while with a gloomy face and then said, "There is an underground palace to the west of Bika, where many books are stored. I don't know if those are the historical documents you are looking for."

"If you don't behave next time, I'll slap you," Lin Yi threatened Enel.

Enel nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Yi grabbed him and headed towards the underground palace that Enel had mentioned.

The three of them arrived shortly afterward.

The entrance to the underground palace was hidden underground, and its existence was difficult to detect without careful exploration. However, this was not a problem for Lin Yi, who possessed extraordinary perception. He seemed to be able to see through all the secrets hidden beneath this land, and in just a moment, the mysterious entrance was revealed to him with his keen senses.

Without expending much time or effort, Lin Yi and the others easily entered the underground palace. The moment they stepped inside, the palace seemed to be enchanted, automatically illuminating itself with a soft, dim light. As the light gradually spread, a breathtakingly large, oval-shaped underground palace slowly revealed itself before them.

Lin Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Enel beside him with hostility.

Faced with Lin Yi's unfriendly gaze, Enel's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "Although I caused a lot of damage here, I didn't touch the place where the books were hidden! After all, those things are worthless to me. They're not gold or treasure, and I'm not interested in them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi coldly replied, "It'd better be as you say." Then, ignoring Enel, he turned and walked towards the place where the other had described as a library.

When Lin Yi stepped into the room, the first thing that caught his eye wasn't the mountain of books, but three humanoid skeletons. These skeletons were entirely black, clearly the result of being ravaged by a powerful force. It was obvious without a doubt that this was Enel's "masterpiece."

Lin Yi glanced at it once and then turned his attention to the somewhat cramped room. The room was indeed small, and the bookshelves against the wall were sparsely filled with a few books. Lin Yi strolled over to the bookshelf and casually picked up one of the books, a book that detailed the weather conditions on Bika Island.

Although this wasn't what he was looking for, Lin Yi wasn't disappointed. He gently put the book back and continued searching carefully among the many books. However, to his dismay, several books he picked up in succession had nothing to do with the origins of the Bika people.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, quite some time had gone by. Robin and Fiona, who had already finished searching the other areas, joined the search. The three of them split up, each diligently searching for every book in their respective areas.

About two more hours passed before Lin Yi finally put down the last book in his hand. His brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep frown. Clearly, after such a long and arduous search, he still hadn't found any records related to the origins of the Bika people.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He suddenly turned around and grabbed Enel beside him, asking, "Besides this place, do you know of any other places where there might be records about the origins of the Bica people?"

Enel shook his head. He wasn't interested in these things and naturally didn't pay much attention to such news.

Lin Yi put Enel down and released his Observation Haki until it covered the entire Birka Island.

Enel seemed to sense something and looked at Lin Yi in shock. He hadn't expected that what this man from Qinghai said was true, and that he also possessed his own abilities.

A few minutes later, Lin Yi withdrew his Observation Haki with some disappointment, as he found no record of it.

However, one place caught his attention: a large chunk was clearly missing, as if something had gnawed it away.

"Let's go back and find Felina and the others." Lin Yi put away his disappointed expression and smiled at Fiona and Robin.

"What should we do with this guy?" Fiona asked, pointing at Enel.

Enel's expression changed, and he said in a somewhat urgent tone, "I can join you. I am very powerful and can do a lot for you."

When it comes to life and death, Enel would never have begged for mercy if he had just been defeated. But after Lin Yi's repeated blows, Enel has completely let go of his pride, and now he only wants to live.

"Forget it, I can't afford to use someone like you. If you hadn't destroyed Bica, I might have considered it, but now you can only die," Lin Yi said calmly.

"Why! Shouldn't those ants, those ants, die? Do you know what kind of pain and torment I've endured since I was a child? Humiliation and beatings were commonplace for me. Once, they even went so far as to try to tie me up and kill me! With such deep hatred, shouldn't I seek revenge?" Enel roared furiously, his face twisted with rage, looking particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer: "Heh, since you've lived such a miserable life, why don't you tell me how you've managed to survive to this point? Is it possible that not a single person on the entire Bika Island has ever shown you even the slightest bit of kindness?"

Enel was taken aback by Lin Yi's sudden question. His eyes widened, and he stood there dumbfounded. After a moment, he slowly lowered his head, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to that dark time in the past.

He remembered the kind old man who unhesitatingly offered him food when he was starving; he remembered the kind old woman who personally brought him warm clothes when he was shivering and barely clothed; and he remembered the time when he was bound hand and foot and facing death, the brave young figure who quietly untied him under the cover of night and let him go...

However, just as he was unleashing his furious revenge, those who had once helped and cared for him all turned against him. At that moment, he felt as if his heart was being ripped apart. He concluded that these people were no different from the villains who had bullied him, and his heart was filled with endless killing intent—kill! Kill! Kill! Everyone deserves to die! Ultimately, he achieved his goal of turning the entire island into a river of blood, but at the same time, the kind faces that had once brought him warmth gradually became blurred until they disappeared completely.

Seeing Enel's appearance, Lin Yi knew he was right. Good and evil exist everywhere, and it's impossible for all the Bica people to be hostile towards Enel.

"Alright, it's time for you to get going," Lin said calmly.

"No, no, no, you can't kill me! They're all ants, how can they compare to me? I'm a god, I can't die!" Enel struggled frantically as Lin Yi tried to kill him.

But Lin Yi didn't want to waste any more words with him. With a wave of his hand, a bunch of various kinds of fruit appeared next to Enel.

Space confinement, throat crushed, a fruit transforms, picked up, space banishment, done, job done.

Chapter 56 The Year 1511 of the Sea Calendar

Filina and her group followed Manhu slowly into their village. Along the way, the trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

In this tranquil atmosphere, Manhu began to recount the tortuous and arduous history of his people to Filina and the others. His voice was deep and resonant, as if bearing the weight of countless years.

It turns out that they were the Shandians, the original inhabitants of Gaya Island, who were swept ashore by that terrible upwelling current four hundred years ago.

However, their suffering did not end there. According to the barbarians, four hundred years ago, when they first arrived at this sky island, they were ruthlessly driven away by the sky island god who ruled the area at the time. That self-proclaimed god tyrannically seized Jaya Island, renamed it God's Island, and made it the sacred place where the sky island god resided.

From that time onward, the Shandians waged a long and arduous struggle to reclaim their homeland. For four hundred years, they never ceased their battle against the Sky Islanders, launching charge after charge in an attempt to break through the enemy's defenses. Tragically, despite their bravery and immense sacrifices, they never achieved their goal. Instead, in countless fierce clashes, many Shandians fell in pools of blood, losing their lives forever.

Upon hearing this, Felina and the others frowned, a surge of intense anger rising within them. They felt utter disgust and contempt for the actions of the so-called gods of the Sky Island, who used their overwhelming power to wantonly plunder the homes of others.

The area where Manhu and his people currently reside is called Cloud Hidden Village. This village is hidden deep in the mountains and forests, in a rather secluded location. Although the Shandians here dress similarly to primitive humans, the architectural style of their village is almost identical to that of Angel Island.

As they arrived at Kumogakure, many Shandians cast curious glances their way. At first, these Shandians mistook Felina and her group for the Sky Islanders, and thus involuntarily revealed expressions of hostility.

Fortunately, Manhu and his companions stepped forward to explain that Filina and her companions had come all the way from Qinghai. This caused the Shandians to abandon their hostility and instead display genuine, heartfelt smiles. After all, to the Shandians, Filina and her companions from Qinghai were considered fellow countrymen.

Just as the group was about to reach the center of the village, a dark-skinned boy with his face painted with greasepaint and a bright red ribbon tied in his hair came running up like the wind and shouted, "Uncle Manhu, are these the prisoners you captured?"

“Wapa, don’t talk nonsense, they are our guests.” Manhu stretched out his broad palm and gently placed it on the head of the boy named Wapa, speaking in a gentle tone.

Wapa frowned slightly, muttering reluctantly, "Uncle Manhu, stop touching my head all the time, it's making me very annoyed. I'm going to be the strongest warrior in Shandia someday." As he spoke, he quickly raised his hand and forcefully slapped away Manhu's large hand that was pressing on his head.

Upon seeing this, Manhu burst into laughter: "Oh ho, little Wapa, you've got quite the nerve! You're still a long way from becoming the strongest warrior in Shandia! You can't even beat me right now."

Upon hearing this, Wapa's face instantly turned bright red. He glared angrily at Manhu and retorted loudly, "Hmph! Uncle Manhu, don't underestimate me. It won't be long before I defeat you. Don't be so upset that you cry!" With that, he put his hands on his hips, looking very confident.

Looking at the spirited little guy in front of him, Man Hu smiled with satisfaction and replied, "Haha, good, good! I'll wait here and see when you little brat can live up to your bold words and defeat me."

"By the way, is your grandfather home?" Man Hu then asked.

"Ah, I went to training early this morning and haven't been home yet. I don't even know if Grandpa is home," Wapa said with an embarrassed smile.

"Then you lead the way for us, kid," Manhu said.

"Alright, everyone, please follow me." Wapa called out and quickly ran forward.

Looking at the energetic Wapa, Manhu said to Filina and the others with some helplessness, "He is our chief's grandson, and he is a bit mischievous. Please forgive him."

"It's nothing," Felina said nonchalantly.

The group then followed Wapa to a courtyard in the center of the village.

Before they even got close, Wapa called out, "Grandpa, Grandpa, come out quickly, we have guests visiting today."

Not long after, the courtyard gate opened, and an elderly man in his sixties came out. Seeing Wapa, he smiled kindly and said, "Wapa, why are you back so early today?"

“Grandpa, Uncle Manhu said that guests from Qinghai are coming, so I came back with them,” Wapa said, pointing to Manhu and his group behind him.

The old man looked in the direction Wapa was pointing, and when he saw Filina and her group, a hint of excitement appeared in his previously cloudy eyes.

"Chief," Manhu called out respectfully.

"You've done a good job, Manhu!" the old chief praised.

He then smiled warmly at Felina and the others and said, "You have come from afar, please come in and have a chat."

Felina and the others nodded in agreement and followed the old chief into the courtyard.

On the way, the two sides gave brief self-introductions. Philina learned from the chief that his and Wapa's ancestor was Calgra, a great warrior of Shandia who had formed a deep friendship with Noland four hundred years ago.

After everyone was seated in a reception room, the old chieftain asked impatiently, "Miss Philina, do you have any news about Lord Noland from four hundred years ago?"

Felicity nodded to indicate that she understood.

The old chieftain immediately stood up excitedly and said to Felina, "Please be sure to tell us about Lord Noland. Lord Noland saved Shandia back then, but we misunderstood him. Our ancestors felt very guilty because of this and always wanted to apologize to Lord Noland. However, we later came to the Sky Island with our homeland, and our ancestor Calgra never had the chance to see Lord Noland again. This became his regret, and it is also the regret of Shandia."

Felina sighed and told them the story she had heard from Lin Yi. When they heard that Noland had been given the title of "Big Liar" and executed, the old chieftain couldn't help but shed tears. He said sadly, "Our Shandia has wronged Lord Noland."

Seeing the old man's expression, Felina continued, "Old Chief, there's no need for this. Noland didn't blame you. He wanted to return to fulfill his promise to your ancestor to ring the Golden Bell, but fate played a cruel trick on him, and you were sent to the Sky Island. Before he died, Noland insisted that the Golden City existed, so his descendants have been searching for it to prove that he wasn't lying."

The old chief wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a dejected expression, "It is we, the younger generation, who are useless. We couldn't even protect our own homeland, and the Golden Bell has disappeared."

"Those despicable Sky Islanders! I will definitely drive them out of our homeland!" Young Wapa said angrily, clenching his fists.

"Not bad, quite ambitious, kid." A voice suddenly rang out in the living room.

"Who?" The old chieftain and the others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing the voice, and Manhu shouted even louder.

Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared out of thin air in the living room.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Felina and the others all showed expressions of joy.

Felina stepped forward and put her arm around Lin Yi's, whispering, "Brother Lin Yi, have you finished your business?"

"I guess it's all done," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Seeing that the newcomers did not seem to be enemies, the old chief and his companions lowered their guard slightly, but a storm of fear surged in their hearts. These people were powerful; they had appeared here without their knowledge. If they had malicious intentions, perhaps the entire Shandia would be no match for them.

"Kid, what's your name?" After exchanging a few words with his companions, Lin Yi looked at Wapa and asked.

"You don't look much older than me, why are you calling me a brat?" Although he was wary of Lin Yi's strength, Wapa was still very unhappy with Lin Yi calling him a brat.

"Haha, kid, don't you know that in this world, the strong are respected? I'm stronger than you, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to call you kid, right?" Lin Yi laughed maliciously.

"Hmph, it's not certain who's stronger yet," Wapa said with a defiant look.

"Oh, really?" Lin Yi's smile remained unchanged. He raised his right hand, and instantly Wapa appeared in front of him. Lin Yi gently patted Wapa's head a few times with his right hand and then sent him back to his original position.

This move terrified the old chieftain and the barbarian, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat. What kind of ability was this? It was terrifying! Even Enel, who claimed to be a god, wasn't this scary.

Wapa, the person involved, felt his legs go weak. He thought he was going to die, but thankfully the tall, baby-faced man didn't mean him any harm.

Thinking of this, Wapa suddenly had an idea. He suddenly knelt down before Lin Yi, looking at him with burning eyes, and said, "My lord, please accept me as your disciple. I want to cultivate under your guidance."

Everyone present was taken aback by Wapa's sudden and unconventional move. Then, the old chieftain and Manhu's eyes lit up. "That's right! If Wapa could learn from a strongman like Lin Yi, perhaps he could become just as powerful. Then, reclaiming Gaya Island might not be out of the question." "Not bad, this time Wapa's got some brains."

Lin Yi was initially taken aback by Wapa's actions, but then looked at the clever fellow with admiration. He seized the opportunity decisively, which was commendable. However, he would not easily accept him as a disciple.

Lin Yi immediately smiled and said, "Get up. I have no intention of taking on any disciples right now."
