Theoretically speaking, the experiment will most likely end with nothing happening.

After all, spatial abilities aren't unique in One Piece. Abilities like the Mirror-Mirror Fruit and the Door-Door Fruit can create independent spaces. If Devil Fruit abilities couldn't be reborn in the One Piece world due to spatial isolation, a bunch of abilities would probably have disappeared long ago. From Oda's perspective as the author, such a setting is impossible.

But what if something unexpected really happens?

His Divine Might Space was copied from another world by the system, so it might be different from the local space ability. It wouldn't be surprising if some special situation happened.

Li Mingyuan secretly kept this matter in his heart.

Although he probably won't put this idea into practice for a long time to come, it would be too hasty to ignore such a rare possibility without even trying it out.

"Let's consider this experiment when we have money to burn later."

Only this sentence remained, echoing in the silent, divinely powerful space.

The space around Li Mingyuan's eyes distorted again.

In the blink of an eye, his and Edrag's corpses disappeared in a vortex and left the Divine Might Space.

One Piece world.

Back on his own boat, Li Mingyuan didn't hesitate and immediately threw Edrag's body into the sea to feed the fish.

His movements were almost perfect and swift; even the crew members on watch at the Spade Pirates' lookout tower not far away didn't notice. Edrag's body disappeared completely into the sea with a soft splash.

After disposing of Edrag's body, Li Mingyuan stood in the moonlight gazing at the scenery of the tranquil sea.

With that, tonight's mission can be considered successfully completed.

As for Li Mingyuan, he probably won't be using Shenwei again anytime soon.

"call!"

Li Mingyuan let out a soft breath.

He placed his hand over his right eye, gazed at the moon for a moment, then lowered his hand and covered his left eye.

After repeating this alternating experiment several times, Li Mingyuan finally stopped what he was doing.

"Although the detailed results will only be clear after comparing the eye charts tomorrow, it seems that there is almost no difference in vision for now, which is a relief."

Li Mingyuan appeared calm and composed.

Including the times he used Kamui to enter and exit the space before, he used Kamui with his right eye a total of seven times today.

It is certain that the consumption of the right eye's power was indeed very small.

However, Li Mingyuan had already anticipated this, so he was not particularly surprised.

Back when he was reading the Naruto manga, he noticed that even though Kakashi didn't have Hashirama's cells, he didn't go blind immediately despite using them extremely frequently during the Ninja War. In fact, his left eye consumed even more pupil power than his right eye.

The reason Li Mingyuan exchanged for the Divine Might ability was, to some extent, because he valued its durability.

Now that the situation has been confirmed to be in line with his expectations, although he will not use Kamui frequently before obtaining the fruits he desires, there is no need to restrict its use to a certain extent as long as he does not activate the Kamui of his left eye.

This is good news.

"The power of these eyes... the power of the Uchiha clan, is now completely under my control."

"It wasn't for nothing that I put in so much effort and worked so hard to complete the task."

Li Mingyuan managed to suppress his laughter with great difficulty, preventing himself from bursting out laughing in the middle of the night.

Those difficult past experiences are still vivid in my mind, even now.

Lacking sufficient strength, with only the system adaptability of a mere Chunin, he had no choice but to modify his own body to enhance his power, imitating Orochimaru's experiment with the "cursed seal" in Ryuchi Cave.

But he was not Orochimaru, nor was he Kabuto Yakushi.

Even with his knowledge of the original work and his ruthless determination, his physical transformation was far from perfect. Many deformities and pains remained in his body. Even though he eventually quelled the chaos and unified the world, he reached the limit of his lifespan far too early.

But now, everything is completely different.

Born with the power of the Sharingan and Kamui, he was able to face anything with ease from the very beginning. With such strength, what is there that he cannot do?

There's no need to face the pain of separation or death, and there's no need to undergo painful experiments that damage the body, pushing yourself to the brink!

Focus your attention back on your eyes.

"In today's battle, although I have basically mastered the Kamui skills, including the reaction speed and release speed of my right eye, it is worth noting that, perhaps because I do not have Hashirama cells, the skill speed felt a bit clumsy compared to Obito's in the anime. I still need to pay more attention to this in the future."

"With the existence of Observation Haki, these calculation errors could be fatal if one encounters a skilled opponent in the future."

Li Mingyuan began to review and summarize everything that had happened during the day.

As is well known, Kamui's right eye ability is spatial teleportation over a certain distance.

However, even this single-eyed divine power skill actually has many subdivided effects.

The way he and Edrag entered the Divine Might Space earlier was by transferring as a whole. This would make their individual transfer speed a little slower, but the advantage was that they wouldn't have to endure the five-minute limitation of being a single-eye ethereal being.

In contrast, his battle with Ace today involved a different way of using his right eye's Kamui. He could teleport a part of his body into another dimension to "penetrate" the opponent's attacks. This method was faster and more unpredictable and difficult to defend against. When Ace's Firefly sneak attack exploded, Li Mingyuan directly placed part of his body in the Kamui dimension, thus avoiding the explosion.

When Li Mingyuan defeated Ace with this, he didn't feel any problems at all; he just felt incredibly refreshed and exhilarated.

But now, looking back, Li Mingyuan has become wary again.

While extreme speed is undoubtedly the specialty of Kamui with the right eye, the extent to which it can be utilized depends on the skill level of both the user and the opponent. Even Obito Uchiha, the original owner of Kamui, suffered a defeat against the Fourth Hokage. Ace, after all, is just a rookie who doesn't even know Observation Haki yet, so it's not surprising that he won against him.

On this vast ocean, Observation Haki is practically a standard skill for experts. High-level Observation Haki can even allow one to briefly foresee the future. To fight these guys, even a momentary error can be fatal.

He will face many difficulties in future battles.

The more I think about it, the deeper I go.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I still need to improve my use of divine power.

As Li Mingyuan pondered, he became increasingly engrossed in exploring the power of his eyes, unaware that even the moon in the sky was gradually beginning to set.

When Li Mingyuan came to his senses, he realized...

—It was already dawn.

"Is it already this time?"

Li Mingyuan stood on the deck, staring blankly at the sky for a while.

He then gave a wry smile, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the cabin.

His concentration was so intense that he couldn't perceive the passage of time, which was a bad habit of his in a way. However, this was the first time since he came to the world of One Piece that he had stayed up all night thinking without noticing the changing of the sky.

This also reflects how engaged he was in what he did last night and how focused he was on his own reflections.

Li Mingyuan entered the cabin and headed straight for the kitchen and storage area.

Since it was already late... or rather, too early, there was no point in thinking about anything else. Not wanting anyone to find out that I hadn't slept all night, I could only return from the deck first.

Since there's no one else around, I'll take advantage of this time to have breakfast and treat my stomach.

It was a fitting reward for his hard work that night.

Li Mingyuan's figure disappeared into the passageway of the cabin, and soon the entire deck returned to silence.

As the first rays of sunlight illuminate Golden Island on a new morning, a new day begins.

Inside the crew's cabin.

I have no idea what happened in the short night last night.

Nami opened her eyes in bed, her hair disheveled, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing how much time had passed.

"It's so quiet this morning..."

"How long has it been since I slept this soundly since those pirates arrived?"

Nami muttered to herself.

Although Li Mingyuan liked the atmosphere on the ship after Ace and the others arrived, Nami still preferred the time the three of them spent sailing at sea.

Besides her distrust of pirates, which prevented her from sleeping soundly, the main reason was that for the past ten days or so, she had been woken up by noise from the corridor or deck.

I can't even sleep soundly.

Slowly sitting up, Nami stretched and let out a contented sigh.

After a quick wash, Nami, in a good mood, walked through the ship's corridor, intending to find Karina to ask if she wanted to go look for gold together today.

But at that moment...

"what?"

Nami suddenly stopped, looked up at the deck, and her expression was somewhat surprised.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I thought I heard a faint sound coming from that direction.

"Is it the captain? Or is it Karina?"

The idea flashed through Nami's mind, and without much hesitation, she stepped onto the deck to check the situation.

We went up to the deck.

Unexpectedly, the scene on the deck was not what she had imagined.

At this moment, the Spade Pirates crew members, whom Nami had thought were not there, were not only on the ship, but they were also gathered in a circle, listening intently to the person in the center speaking.

The voice that was speaking was the only sound on the deck at that moment.

Portgas D. Ace.

The man was currently talking excitedly about something, and occasionally he would show a look of admiration.

"I thought the unusual quiet this morning was because the pirates had all gone to the island to search for gold, but it seems they still came."

What are they talking about? It's too far away to hear clearly.

Nami quietly hid by the cabin door, looking at the scene before her with a headache. "Honestly, these people have their own ships, why do they always come here? My captain isn't even on deck right now, where did he go?"

If Li Mingyuan wasn't around, Nami honestly didn't really want to face these pirates, especially their captain, the guy named Ace.

Spending this time together has given her a much better understanding of the pirates, and she no longer hates them as much as she did at first. However, although she no longer rejects them, Nami still feels a strange sense of unease and fear.

Ace and his crew aren't the typical pirates; their straightforward and sincere way of interacting makes them easy to get along with. However, it's precisely because of this that the contrast with Nami's image of pirates is somewhat hard for her to accept—aren't pirates supposed to be a greedy, stupid, and despicable bunch? Why would a group like the Spade Pirates exist?

Their very existence constantly shakes Nami's perception of pirates as a whole. This shaking makes Nami feel that it is a denial of her painful memories over the years, making her extremely unwilling to have too much contact with them.

"I really don't understand why anyone would choose to become a pirate."

Nami couldn't help but frown and whisper, "If you don't actively burn, kill, and plunder, isn't choosing to become a bounty hunter and go to sea the same thing?"

Having said that, Nami, unwilling to watch any longer, took a step back and prepared to turn around and return to her room.

However, just as she made her move...

"It might seem the same to us ordinary people, but for Ace, the word 'pirate' might have a special meaning. After all, isn't that how it is these days? Freedom, romance, dreams—all sorts of meanings are given to the identity of a pirate, and countless people are crazy about it and rush to the sea."

Even though they are essentially nothing more than villains at sea, they still prefer to immerse themselves in the existence they imagine.

A voice suddenly came from behind Nami.

Nami turned around abruptly, her expression one of surprise, and looked at the man standing in front of her.

"captain?!"

Needless to say.

Who else could be standing next to Nami right now but Li Mingyuan?

"Don't worry, the pain you suffered has not been denied, and Ace and the others do not represent the entire pirate community."

"If you're really upset, just think of them as a bunch of self-proclaimed pirate adventurers."

Patting Nami on the shoulder, Li Mingyuan said calmly, "I made breakfast today. Karina is already in the cafeteria, so you can go and eat too."

"As for this place."

"Leave the rest to me."

As he spoke, Li Mingyuan brushed past Nami and walked towards the Spade Pirates on the deck.

Ace, who had been mysteriously explaining something, immediately waved to Li Mingyuan when he saw him arrive out of the corner of his eye. With a hint of urging on his face, he called out loudly in a good mood.

"Hey! Why are you only getting here now? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"
