Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

Ten days later.

After the rain, the sky clears, revealing a vast and boundless expanse.

At this moment, a cargo ship is sailing on the sea, steadily heading towards its destination.

Even the seemingly endless storms eventually pass.

Now, the sun shines brightly and the sky is clear and cloudless. Those thrilling experiences from not long ago seem like a dream, leaving no trace. Only those who experienced them still have vivid memories in their minds.

Cargo ship deck.

Li Mingyuan leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the boundless ocean.

In the blink of an eye, he had been at sea for ten days.

During these ten days, except for the first few days when there was heavy rain, the rest of the time was mostly sunny. The voyage was almost entirely calm and there were no unexpected events.

What kind of expected sea monsters, strange and terrifying weather, or pirates who might hijack the ship?

None of them appeared.

During the ten days or so that Li Mingyuan was on the ship, he spent most of his time eating and sleeping, staying in his cabin, or going up to the deck to enjoy the scenery and bask in the sun to prevent mold.

Although he was very glad that he did not live with the sailors and that his privacy was guaranteed, he found that such a life was actually quite boring after a while.

Everything was so ordinary, and every day was filled with nothing to do.

Even if it were possible, it would only be because he was an uninvited guest, and no one dared to ask him to do any work.

But to be honest, for Li Mingyuan, the first few days of sailing in the storm were actually the most exciting.

When the storm caused the cargo ship to rock violently, he thought the ship was going to sink several times, but it always turned out to be safe and sound.

Is it because he is an experienced captain that he has the confidence to set sail? Or is it that the storm was not a threat to this cargo ship at all, which is why he chose to set sail without hesitation in the first place?

I don't understand.

From Li Mingyuan's perspective, there was simply too much he didn't understand.

Just like his uneventful daily life now.

In my memory, One Piece had a very tight plot and a very exciting and colorful adventure story. I never thought that it would be so boring for me now that it's happening to me.

As time went on, an idea began to emerge in Li Mingyuan's mind: for Sihai, this kind of life at sea was probably the norm, and accidents were rare occurrences.

Even in the world of One Piece, pirates are not so easy to encounter, and sea monsters are even rarer.

After all, there are countless people who run ships and engage in maritime trade. The vast majority of them are just ordinary people with little fighting ability. Bounties of millions can easily control them. If they could easily encounter these uncontrollable factors, the exchange and trade between islands would probably have been unable to continue long ago.

Even the Straw Hat crew is like that.

The fact that Zoro and Luffy dared to set sail in a dilapidated ship in the early days is enough to illustrate the situation in the seas. If it were the Grand Line, that small, dilapidated ship would probably have been swept to the bottom of the sea by some unusual weather event long ago.

Even the main characters themselves only went to the Grand Line because they couldn't realize their ideals in the Four Seas. It can be said that their real journey only began on the Grand Line.

Therefore, in comparison, the sea voyages across the four seas are so peaceful, which is logically reasonable.

"How boring! Is life at sea really this boring?"

"Without cell phones or computers, I could only pass the time by reading newspapers or chatting with the sailors, or occasionally playing cards. But when chatting with the sailors, our understanding was completely different, and I could only be a listener. Even when playing cards together, I, a transmigrator used to video games, couldn't get much into it, let alone playing cards with the sailors and gambling."

Looking at the blinding sunlight, Li Mingyuan was somewhat troubled. "Even in the Naruto world, even if you can't find anyone to chat with, at least you can go anywhere to take a walk and pass the time. But on this ship in the One Piece world, you can't go anywhere at all. Every day you can only see the same scenery. Under such circumstances, even if I wanted to write a nautical log, I probably wouldn't know what to write. Besides recording that I slept for another day, I might only mention a few things about what I ate."

If he continues living like this, won't he suffer a mental breakdown from excessive boredom?

Li Mingyuan couldn't help but doubt this.

Time flies.

While Li Mingyuan was still spending his days in a daze, he soon realized it was time to eat again.

eat.

This was arguably the only time of day, besides sleeping, that he could look forward to.

It was a cargo ship of some size, and the captain probably took into account the food situation at sea, so the storage was quite abundant. In addition, the food was delicious, which was unique to the world of One Piece, and it was enough to invigorate anyone.

However, it's unclear how long this delicious time will last.

After all, vegetables and fruits can't be stored for more than a few days. Even though supplies are plentiful at the moment, they will eventually become unpalatable as the voyage continues.

By then, for Li Mingyuan, life at sea might really be no different from being in prison.

Upon entering the cabin, Li Mingyuan found a seat in a spacious room that could hardly be considered a canteen. He listened to the conversations of the nearby sailors while waiting for his food ration.

Soon, a sailor who looked somewhat familiar brought out the fixed portion of food.

Li Mingyuan looked at his food and then glanced at what the sailors nearby were eating. He found that it was indeed as the captain had said, that he was receiving the same food and drink treatment as the crew.

That's all he said. He looked up and glanced at a few seats further inside the mess hall, where there were the boatswain and several other important shipboard officers. Compared to their food, his own meal seemed rather meager.

It must be worlds apart from the captain's meals, which are served outside of this area.

"well……"

Li Mingyuan sighed, lowered his head again, picked up his utensils, and began his lunch.

Even though eating is his only source of positive feedback here, even this little bit of pleasure is divided into different levels, making him feel a bit uninterested in eating.

Although he was tempted to ask the captain for a better treatment, after some deliberation, he gave up on the idea.

Firstly, he couldn't bear the embarrassment, since the captain had made it clear from the beginning that he would be treated the same as the crew, and he was just a freeloader, so he should be grateful if he could even get something to eat.

Secondly, he didn't want to flaunt his wealth to these people.

If he were willing to offer some money, he might be able to improve their treatment. However, considering that he had seen the footage of these people losing their cargo before boarding the ship, and considering the oppressive atmosphere among the crew members at the time, he decided not to cause trouble for himself.

Keeping wealth hidden is better for both himself and others. What if these people see his money and decide to kill him at sea? If he kills the sailors in return, who will steer the ship for him? He has absolutely no knowledge of navigation. Without the sailors, the ship will truly be adrift at sea.

In summary.

After lunch, Li Mingyuan was exhausted and walked back to his cabin with heavy steps.

During the journey, several familiar sailors invited him to play cards, but he just gave them a few perfunctory replies and went straight back to his room, where he collapsed headfirst onto the bed.

Li Mingyuan turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"How much longer until we reach our destination?"

"If this continues, I'm really going to go insane and die."

He didn't want to move at all; he seemed to have lost all his energy. He just stayed quietly in the room.

If he had known the journey would be this boring, he should have brought more books on board instead of preparing all sorts of random supplies. With the system's assistance, he had no problem with communication or basic writing.

The fishermen didn't tell him that sailing at sea was so boring.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and he reached out and pointed at the void.

He clicked on the system's hidden page.

"In times like these, this is definitely the only way to pass the time."

Li Mingyuan murmured.

He looked at the system panel in front of him, a hint of nostalgia gradually appearing on his face.

Back in the Naruto world, when he had nothing to do, he would browse the reward list to pass the time.

However, that's not because he has nothing to do now.

The main issue is that in the early stages of the Naruto world, his system was still in version 1.0, which did not have language or dialogue assistance functions. In fact, at the very beginning, his system only had click operation. It was only later, when it was gradually upgraded from version 1.0 to the current version 3.0, that more convenient voice control was added.

So in the early days of the Naruto world, he couldn't communicate with anyone, and could only stare at the system page every day.

His system will be continuously updated, and the system itself will gradually add functions, such as protection against system-related memories of the holder, mind-reading protection, etc. In addition, even the reward list will be continuously expanded.

The specific update mechanism is not yet clear.

However, based on his observations from the previous world, Li Mingyuan believed that the evolution of the system should be linked to the completion of the mission; the closer the system got to completing the mission, the more it seemed to improve.

In the Naruto world, he eventually evolved to version 3.0 after completing his mission. If that's the case, then in the One Piece world, he might have the chance to upgrade to version 6.0 at most.

I wonder what kind of features will be added in the future.

It sounds pretty exciting.

And so, Li Mingyuan scrolled through the system's reward list, continuing to pass the time.

During this time, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to hear footsteps outside his closed door. Then, after the sounds faded away, a commotion came from the deck above him.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph, hmph hmph."

Li Mingyuan hummed a song softly, remaining completely unmoved as he browsed the system panel.

It's an illusion, of course it's just an illusion.

Even if something did happen on the ship, it wouldn't concern him. His current task was to keep a low profile, act like a nobody, and avoid getting involved in the ship's affairs, pretending he hadn't discovered anything.

Because after boarding the ship, he had already discussed the escort terms in detail with the captain.

One of the conditions is that if Li Mingyuan really has to step in to help, he will solve the problem, but the captain will have to pay a discounted price of 10 Berries.

To this end, Li Mingyuan even performed a demonstration of chakra acupressure, striking the strongest sailor on the ship with a single finger until he collapsed and couldn't get up. Only then did the captain have no objection to the price. Instead, he told Li Mingyuan that they would handle ordinary minor problems themselves, and that he would only be needed when someone specifically came to him.

Therefore, Li Mingyuan ignored all internal conflicts among the crew.

After about thirty minutes, the noise on the deck gradually subsided.

Li Mingyuan closed the system page, just as he was about to take a pleasant afternoon nap.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Li Mingyuan looked up at the doorway.

Just now, he vaguely sensed a very light footstep passing by his door.

The footsteps were very light.

If it weren't for his greatly enhanced senses due to chakra, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

However, what caught Li Mingyuan's attention at this moment was not the sound of footsteps themselves. After all, he had pretended not to hear the previous commotion, and he was even less inclined to move now that there was such a dispute.

The key point is that it happened shortly after the footsteps disappeared.

A roar suddenly came from below his cabin.

"Search! Everyone, search! Don't miss a single corner of the ship!"

"The ship will dock in thirty minutes. Don't give them a chance to leave before then! You understand, right? If we can find them, we might even be able to recover the stolen parts!!"

"Anyone who wants to leave Ah Long Paradise early, go find them at all costs!"

Even through the thick wooden planks of the cabin, Li Mingyuan could hear the other person's voice clearly, every word distinct.

Ignoring any talk of theft, he quickly grasped the key point.

The ship is about to dock.

Does that mean my time in prison is about to end?

"Wow, it's so close to Alon Amusement Park."

"I originally thought it would take at least another ten days or so to arrive."

Li Mingyuan could barely suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Never before had he experienced such a liberating pleasure, as if he had just been released from prison.

"In that case, I'll have to pack my luggage first."

The thought flashed through Li Mingyuan's mind, and he immediately turned around and reached out to the package.
