One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

The group split into two teams to search. Da Pan and Duo Tai went to the left, while Lin Yi took Filina and Fiona to the right.

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry; he was searching with a leisurely attitude, so he and the two women didn't walk very fast.

The frozen continent is not actually a lifeless place. Many animals that can adapt to the environment still live here, such as the snowball-like creature in Lin Yi's hand. This creature is only the size of a palm, its whole body is covered with fine down, its eyes are small, its limbs are very muscular, and its forelimb claws are as hard and sharp as if they were made of steel.

When placed on the ice, the little thing runs quite fast.

In addition, he also discovered rat-like creatures in the frozen ground.

Living things are amazing; they always evolve to adapt to their environment.

After walking for more than half an hour, Lin Yi got a little bored, since all around him was ice, without any other colors.

He checked the system shop and spent 30 prosperity points to buy three pairs of roller skates. Although he had never skated in his previous life, he figured that with his current level of physical control, it should be easy for him to learn.

He gave the other two pairs of roller skates to Filina and Fiona, and explained to them how to use them and what their purpose was.

The two women were already used to Lin Yi occasionally pulling out some strange and unusual things, so they weren't too surprised. Instead, they started fiddling with the roller skates with great interest.

After giving the skates to the two girls, Lin Yi ignored them and put them on himself. Sure enough, having a high level of body control was an advantage; he soon skated incredibly smoothly.

Lin Yi was having a blast on the ice, just like a child getting a favorite toy. He even occasionally grabbed the two women's hands for a quick, passionate encounter, nearly scaring Felina to death.

This provoked Felina to curse repeatedly, vowing to teach Lin Yi a lesson.

While ice skating, I was searching for treasure. The speed was indeed much faster than walking, but after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find any trace of the treasure.

Just as Lin Yi was wondering if his memory was wrong, he suddenly felt his spatial marker being triggered. Who was it? He sensed it carefully and realized it was Da Pan and the others.

He quickly swam to Felina and Fiona's side, startling Felina who thought Lin Yi was going to play another prank on them.

"Something's happened to Da Pan. We're going there now," Lin Yi said quickly, while simultaneously activating his Divine Power Teleportation to bring them to the vicinity of Da Pan and his group.

"Bang bang bang" were the sounds of battle. Lin Yi glanced around and saw that Da Pan and Duo Tai were fighting with someone.

The man fighting Da Pan was a fat old man over five meters tall, who looked like Patrick Star, had a prominent "12" symbol next to his right temple, and was slightly hunched over. He was the same Green Pepper character that Lin Yi had seen in the anime in his previous life.

The two boys who fought against Dota were about thirteen or fourteen years old and had unusual appearances. They were probably Cai Yi and Bu Wu, the two grandsons of Qingjiao.

There were also more than twenty burly men standing around, cheering for Qingjiao and his team, but they did not rush forward.

"Brother, you're here! This old man is being unreasonable; he's trying to steal our treasure!" Da Pan immediately started complaining when he saw his brother arrive.

Green Pepper was initially surprised and uncertain about the sudden appearance of Lin Yi and his two companions, but upon hearing Da Pan's words, he instantly flew into a rage: "Bullshit, you little brat, this is my treasure!"

As she spoke, her attacks became increasingly fierce. Da Pan was already weaker, and under Qin Jiao's furious attacks, he was temporarily unable to withstand them, especially since his black wooden staff showed signs of cracking.

Even though Da Pan had used Armament Cover, he still couldn't withstand the double attack of Green Pepper's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

"Eight-Strike Fist, Martial Head!" Green Pepper leaped into the air and, like a meteorite, launched a heavy attack on Da Pan with his flat iron head. At the critical moment, Lin Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly appeared beside Da Pan, threw Da Pan away, and stood still. His dark fist collided with Green Pepper's flat head.

With a loud "boom", the ice beneath Lin Yi's feet cracked like a spider web, and Qingjiao used the momentum to jump to a spot not far away after her attack.

"And who are you, brat?" Green Pepper shouted angrily.

"Hello, Senior Green Pepper. We are a group of traveling adventurers. My name is Huaxia. Lin Yi. You can call me Lin Yi, Senior Green Pepper," Lin Yi said with a smile.

By this time, the battle on Dota's side had also ended. In the end, Dota, relying on his older age, defeated the two young men.

"Hmph, you're here to steal my treasure too!" Seeing his grandson defeated, Qingjiao didn't immediately make a move. He could sense that Lin Yi and the others were quite strong, especially Lin Yi, whose elusive abilities made him very wary. If they started fighting, his grandson, whom he considered his successor, might perish here, which he couldn't accept.

"Haha, you're joking, senior. Isn't your treasure also something you plundered from others?" Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

"Hehe, kid, you're right. As long as you defeat me, you can take these treasures." Green Pepper activated his Conqueror's Haki, and a tangible pressure swept over Lin Yi and the others.

"Step back," Lin Yi said to Felina and the others, while simultaneously unleashing his Conqueror's Haki to fight against Green Pepper.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's reminder, Felina and the others dared not delay and quickly used Shave to retreat to a distance. Only Da Pan was deeply feeling the pressure. This was his chance; his Conqueror's Haki had not yet awakened.

Lin Yi also tried to awaken Da Pan's Conqueror's Haki using Conqueror's Haki, but it was no use; Da Pan was completely immune to his Conqueror's Haki pressure.

Two powerful Conqueror's Haki clashed, and a terrifying pressure swept across everything around them. A layer of ice was scraped off, and the sky was covered by dark clouds, making the entire space darken.

"Kid, your Conqueror's Haki is pretty good," Green Pepper praised, then looked at Da Pan, who was struggling to withstand the two Conqueror's Haki auras. He could sense that this strange bear also possessed the qualities of a king, and that power was slowly awakening under the pressure of Conqueror's Haki.

Finally, Da Pan roared, and the same imposing aura appeared all around him.

"Haha, big brother, I've got Conqueror's Haki too!" Da Pan said excitedly.

"Very good, Da Pan." Lin Yi was genuinely happy for Da Pan.

"You step back now, I want to fight this old man."

Having achieved his goal, Da Pan saw no need to stay any longer, and he also believed that the fat old man was no match for his elder brother.

Green Pepper looked rather grim; she never imagined she would one day become a "teacher."

"Hmph, brat, don't be so smug. If you want my treasure, be prepared to be killed by me!" Green Pepper roared, charging towards Lin Yi at lightning speed.

"Haha, I also want to see if Chinjao is as strong as the legends say." Looking at Chinjao charging towards him, Lin Yi was not flustered at all, and was even a little excited. Since his debut, he had never encountered a decent opponent. Chinjao was very strong, not as weak as he was when he met Luffy in the anime. You could tell from his incredibly powerful Conqueror's Haki.

Chapter 15 Lin Yi VS Green Pepper

Hearing Lin Yi call him by his nickname "Zhi Zhi Qing Jiao" (meaning "Green Pepper"), Green Pepper became even angrier. "Don't you know that you shouldn't insult someone's shortcomings?"

"Chocolate Pepper with Cone" was a title he was proud of back then, but 16 years ago, in a battle with Garp, his proud cone was knocked to a draw by Garp with a single punch. After that, he regarded the name "Chocolate Pepper with Cone" as a disgrace. Now, when he hears it again, he thinks it is this kid mocking him.

Green Pepper immediately used the Eight Treasures Navy family's traditional fist technique, "Eight-Strike Fist." His fist was rapidly covered in black Armament Haki, slamming fiercely towards Lin Yi's face, accompanied by a continuous barrage of shockwaves.

"Haha, good timing!" Lin Yi didn't know any boxing techniques, but relying on his good physical condition, he used a basic attack to resist the attack, while covering his fist with Armament Haki, directly meeting Green Pepper's fist.

As their fists collided, a shockwave swept out behind Lin Yi. When the fists separated, Lin Yi was knocked back several meters. This was the power of the Eight-Strike Fist: the attack was accompanied by a powerful shockwave.

Lin Yi, despite suffering a minor setback, was not discouraged but instead became excited. This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent. He did not use swordsmanship or abilities, but purely relied on his domineering aura to fight back. Although he had achieved some success in cultivating his domineering aura, his application was still quite crude. The battle with Qingjiao would allow him to quickly master the domineering aura he had learned.

"Haha, Senior Green Pepper is truly vigorous despite his age!" Lin Yi laughed and then took the initiative to attack Green Pepper.

Green Pepper merely snorted coldly and continued his attack against Lin Yi.

The Eight-Strike Fist can be performed not only with fists, but also with the head, elbows, and feet.

Unaware of the risks, Lin Yi suffered considerable losses, but he became increasingly happy as the fight progressed. If before the fight Lin Yi only used 60% of his domineering aura, now it was 70%, and as time went on, his mastery continued to increase.

Green Pepper, however, became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. This kid, at such a young age, possessed such a powerful aura and was getting stronger in the battle. This kid was using him as a sparring partner.

Hmph, brat, you dare to use me as your sparring partner? Well then, let's see if you can survive this sparring session.

"Eight-Strike Fist, Martial Head Spin" Green Pepper first puts his hands together and then jumps into the air. After rolling once in the air, he uses his head as a support point to perform a handstand. Then, using his head as a balance point, he makes his body spin at high speed along the central axis of his head, like a high-speed spinning top, creating a gust of wind all around.

Under the influence of centrifugal force, Lin Yi unconsciously flew towards the green pepper, while the green pepper spun rapidly and rushed towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi dared not be careless. He gathered all his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki in his hands, and his powerful aura stopped his body from flying towards Green Pepper.

With a loud bang, the spinning green pepper made intimate contact with Lin Yi's palms. Lin Yi desperately held back the green pepper rushing towards him, and his body was slammed into the ice, carving a deep furrow.

Lin Yi stomped his feet hard, finally stopping his backward sliding.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, "Senior Green Pepper, I'm going to unleash my power!" Suddenly, his domineering aura intensified several times, and his hands, which had been holding Green Pepper back, exerted force.

Green Pepper felt an immense force surge through him, rendering him unable to move forward even an inch. He was then flung away by Lin Yi. Before he could regain his footing, Lin Yi instantly closed in and unleashed a punch.

This punch contained the strongest domineering aura Lin Yi could muster at this moment, and its speed was as fast as lightning. Green Pepper couldn't dodge in time and could only take the hit head-on. With a loud "boom," Green Pepper was blasted into the ice.

As the smoke cleared, Green Pepper slowly stood up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He knew he had lost; the potential of the young man before him was terrifying.

Cai Yi and Bu Wu rushed over and stood next to Qingjiao, looking at Lin Yi with wary expressions.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..." Green Pepper gave a wry smile and shook his head. Lin Yi stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Green Pepper. I have benefited greatly from it."

Green Pepper slowly shook his head, a hint of undisguised dejection on his face. His once resolute gaze had dimmed, as if all its luster had vanished. Recalling his fierce battle with Garp, his heart was filled with resentment and humiliation. Yet now, to be defeated by a fledgling junior was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the proud and arrogant Green Pepper.

Standing there, Green Pepper remained silent for a long time, gazing quietly into the distance, as if trying to see the changing times through the endless sky. Once, he was a fearsome figure on this vast sea, but as time passed, new powerful figures emerged, while he gradually lost his strength. At this moment, he deeply felt the surging tide of the times and its relentless impact.

"Lin Yi, you've won. The treasure is yours, and you can take my life too, but I beg you to spare my two grandsons," Qingjiao pleaded with Lin Yi like an old man in his twilight years.

“Grandfather, there are no deserters in the Eight Treasures Navy,” Cai Yibuwu said loudly.

"Bullshit! When has my word ever been invalid? After I die, Cai Yi will be the thirteenth generation pillar of the Babao Navy!" Green Pepper roared.

The two men, "grandfather" and "grandfather," wept with tears streaming down their faces.

Lin Yi felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this scene.

"Senior Green Pepper, I have no intention of taking your lives. We are looking for treasure because we are adventurers," Lin Yi said.

"Consider it a favor I owe you. You can come to the Flower Country to find me if you need anything in the future." Green Pepper glanced at him with a complicated expression. With his proud personality, he would never beg for his life from an enemy, but his two grandsons were here, and he had to owe Lin Yi a favor.

Watching Green Pepper's departing figure, Lin Yi smiled slightly. This trip had been very fruitful. Not only had he elevated his use of Haki to a new level, but he had also learned the techniques for using Conqueror's Haki, specifically the "Entanglement" technique, which was key to his final victory over Green Pepper. Moreover, Da Pan had awakened Conqueror's Haki, making it a double blessing. As for the treasures, they were secondary.

As for why he wasn't killed, it's because he wasn't a pure pirate; he was an official force of the Flower Country, and most of his treasures were plundered from enemy countries. Overall, he wasn't particularly bad, so there was no need to kill him.

"Big brother, you're amazing! You defeated him without even using your spatial abilities!" Da Pan exclaimed in admiration.

"Brother Lin Yi, didn't you say that pirates are all bad? Why don't you kill him?" Felina asked.

"Most pirates are bad, but that's not always the case, and Greenjaw isn't exactly a pure pirate either. Haha, let's get back to finding the treasure," Lin Yi explained, then brought up the main purpose of their trip.

“Brother, the treasure is in that blue iceberg. Duotai and I tried to break it open, but we found that we really couldn’t. Then that green pepper brought people over,” Da Pan said.

The group arrived at the Jade Iceberg. The entire Jade Iceberg extended from the ground, only a little over a meter high on the ice surface, covering an area the size of a football field. It was bluish-gray, and the inside was like jade, hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside. Occasionally, a few golden flashes would appear in the sunlight.

Lin Yi placed his hands on the jade iceberg, and spatial power slowly surged within it. Ripples spread across the surface of the iceberg, like water, and then an entrance slowly opened. The group was overjoyed; their captain was indeed reliable. They all followed Lin Yi into the interior of the iceberg.

Sure enough, the place was filled with gold and silver jewels, radiating a dazzling light. Da Pan and Filina cheered excitedly and began collecting some lightweight yet valuable treasures. Thanks to their spatial storage equipment, they all reaped a bountiful harvest. Lin Yi, on the other hand, continued deeper and found a mysterious little box in the center of the iceberg.

He gently opened the box, and inside lay a Devil Fruit. The fruit displayed strange patterns and exuded a mysterious aura.

"A Devil Fruit, not bad luck." However, Lin Yi guessed that it was probably just an ordinary fruit, otherwise it wouldn't have been left here by Green Pepper. So he didn't have high expectations for this fruit.

Felina had filled all the storage bracelets; there was still a lot of treasure here.

Lin Yi could only put the rest into his storage space.

"Let's go," Lin Yi said, seeing that the adventure had been accomplished, and then called for the group to leave.

This time, instead of returning to the Traveler, they had Lin Yi use his spatial abilities to send them back.

After all, they all needed to sort through their spoils. Fiona, in particular, had found two fine swords in the treasure trove; while not large blades, they were still excellent, reaching the level of good-quality swords. So, her usually aloof face occasionally broke into a silly grin.

Back on the ship, Dotai couldn't wait to share his catch with Simon.

Da Pan sat somewhat dejectedly on the gunwale, holding his black wooden stick. Seeing this, Lin Yi approached and said, "Our next stop is the Flower Kingdom; there should be a blacksmith there. Let's see if we can fix it."

Upon hearing this, Da Pan finally smiled.

The evening was naturally a banquet. Because of the huge gains from this trip, Lin Yi generously bought two cases of Moutai with 20 points in the system shop.

Everyone was completely drunk. Felina once again escorted Lin Yi back to his room, ignoring everyone else, while Fiona had already returned to her room to admire her precious sword.
