From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

In Alabasta, Crocodile was still waiting for Time Silver to arrive. According to the intelligence he had received, a new person who could fly had indeed recently arrived on the Grand Line.

Shi Yin never hid himself along the way, so it's normal that his tracks were discovered while he was flying.

But Crocodile was destined not to live to see Ji Silver, because he didn't go to Alabasta.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Crocodile, but rather that Crocodile had obtained the Log Pose from Water Seven.

Compared to Crocodile's less important Sand-Sand Fruit, Bruno's Door-Door Fruit is definitely more important.

So he decisively changed course and went to Water City.

Along the way, they also disposed of the corpses of Wapol and the other Drum Kingdom guys.

Just throw it into the sea, and marine life will naturally clean it up for it.

Crocodile waited in Alabasta for so long that the flowers withered.

But a day passed, and Shi Yin didn't come...

Three days have passed, and Shi Yin still hasn't come...

Ten days have passed, and Shi Yin still hasn't come...

A month has passed, and Shi Yin still hasn't come...

Old Sha...

After a ten-day journey, Shi Yin finally arrived at Water Seven, a floating city.

This is a city crisscrossed by canals, with multi-tiered, stepped buildings connected by water gate elevators that use water flow to move up and down the city; residents raise buffalo (cowfish) as a means of transportation on water.

If I remember correctly, Bruno was working as the owner of a tavern in the inner city.

In order to find the blueprints for Pluto, a member of CP9 has been infiltrating Water Seven for many years, and this is the group that Bruno is in.

The others each had their own hiding places, which saved Shi Yin a lot of trouble when he was working, since he only wanted to find Bruno.

But since he didn't know which tavern Bruno was hiding in, he could only resort to the brute-force method of checking them all.

First of all, Bruno's tavern should only have him as the owner. Also, this guy's signature move is to bury his head in wiping wine glasses every day. His physical features are also very obvious, with hair on his head that looks like a pair of bull horns.

Shi Yin went around to each of them, using his mental power to explore the interior of the tavern.

After searching half of the inner city, they finally found their target: a guy with horned hair, wiping a wine glass.

Okay, you're the one.

If you choose the wrong person, you can only blame it on your poor taste.

He carefully took out the Sorrowful Breeze. Bruno was a Door-Door Fruit user, and it would be difficult to catch him with conventional tactics. If he couldn't beat him, he would open the door and run away.

So we have no choice but to resort to some tricks.

A colorless and odorless, melancholic breeze gradually filled the tavern.

To maintain secrecy, this guy rarely opened the door, creating a sealed environment for himself, which made it easier for Shi Yin to administer the drug.

It has to be said that the physical constitution of the pirate world is really different. His drug effects were enough to take down an elephant before Bruno realized something was wrong.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized it, it was too late. As he tried to use his ability to escape, Shi Yin, who was prepared, summoned Blue Silver Grass vines to bind him. Bruno needed to open a door to use his ability.

By binding his hands and legs, Bruno could no longer use his abilities. As for physical skills? At this moment, he felt completely powerless; let alone physical skills, even standing was difficult.

Soon, as Bruno inhaled more and more of the soothing breeze, he completely lost the ability to resist and could not move.

All he could do was dart around with his eyes, trying to find the person who had drugged him.

Shi Yin first cast the Purification Light Soul Skill on himself before entering the tavern.

Bruno saw someone come in and was about to speak.

Unfortunately, Shi Yin didn't want to listen at all, let alone say anything more. Villains die from talking too much.

He stabbed him in the chest with a knife, then threw him into his storage soul tool. Shi Yin was already very skilled at this set of actions.

Before long, they obtained a Devil Fruit, the Door-Door Fruit, a god-level fruit related to space, and also a bug-level fruit.

Bruno never brought out the full potential of the fruit.

He then used his sixth soul skill—Wooden Reincarnation—to dispose of Bruno's body and, incidentally, plant a flower of rebirth.

As an elite CP9 agent, Bruno is proficient in all six styles of martial arts, and his abilities should not be wasted.

After cleaning up the scene, Shigin left Water Seven.

They found a deserted island nearby, absorbed the Rebirth Flower, and at the same time sorted out Bruno's memories, focusing on his development of the Door-Door Fruit and the training techniques of the Six Styles.

Shi Yin's physical fitness is definitely up to standard. As long as there are the corresponding training techniques, learning the Six Styles is not difficult.

After that, he decided not to continue hunting those Devil Fruit users.

If you're not strong enough, the other Devil Fruit users are all quite powerful, and going hunting for them carries the risk of failure.

Let me improve myself first.

He planned to find a place to improve his strength first, and then go to the New World to get his hands on the training methods for the three types of Haki.

Once he's stronger, it'll be much easier to steal Devil Fruits. If he still has time then, he'll continue collecting Devil Fruits that interest him.

He chose the Calm Belt as his training ground, where there are abundant resources of sea kings, allowing him to grow stronger at will.

Having made up his mind, Shi Yin veered off course and headed towards the nearest calm zone.

The calm zones of this world are actually two special ocean zones that surround the Grand Line.

The Grand Line is similar to the equator, a special zone that encircles the entire Pirate Star, while the Red Line is a narrow, elongated ring-shaped continental belt that is almost perpendicular to it.

The calm belts run along both sides of the Grand Line.

The Grand Line and the Red Line divide the entire planet into four parts: the four seas of the east, west, south, and north.

The calm zone is the barrier between the Grand Line and the four seas. If there were no calm zone, the four seas could all directly access the Grand Line.

Not long after Shigin deviated from its course, it entered the calm zone.

As the name suggests, there is no wind here, so ordinary sailboats cannot sail here.

In the world of One Piece, ships are generally sailing ships, even naval warships.

Furthermore, the Calm Belt is a gathering place for Sea Kings, and ships that want to pass through it will usually encounter attacks from Sea Kings.

Over time, the Calm Belt became a forbidden zone for human ships, and no one dared to go there.

There is only one exception: Amazon Lily, a pirate force rooted in the Calm Belt, composed entirely of women, who are exceptionally fierce.

They are also a force that gives the Navy and the World Government a headache. Every time the Navy tries to encircle and suppress them, they disappear into the Calm Belt, leaving the Navy helpless.

Once inside the Calm Zone, Shi Yin immediately felt the difference from the outside. There was indeed no wind at all, and he had to exert a lot of effort to fly.
