One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

He pointed forward as he spoke.

In an instant, an astonishing scene unfolded! Where Lin Yi pointed, the previously empty space seemed to have been sliced ​​open by an invisible blade, a section suddenly appearing. Then, Lin Yi uttered a low shout: "Fire Hell!"

With that soft shout, a raging fire suddenly erupted in the exposed space, its flames fierce and intense, quickly transforming into a sea of ​​fire. The scorching flames rolled and leaped, frantically devouring everything around them, as if to incinerate the entire space.

"Big brother, you can actually control flames now?" Da Pan stared wide-eyed at the spectacular sight before him, his excitement making him dance with joy.

"Haha, that's not all!" Lin Yi's face beamed with a confident smile, and his laughter echoed in the air.

Immediately afterward, he took a deep breath and then shouted again, "Thunder Prison!" As his voice fell, before the raging sea of ​​fire in the space had completely died down, dazzling bolts of lightning, like silver snakes, began to rage wildly through the space. The crackling lightning, like countless sharp axes, slashed fiercely at the sea of ​​fire, instantly shattering the once continuous flames into pieces.

However, this was just the beginning. Following Thunder Prison, Lin Yi unleashed a series of powerful elemental attacks, including Water Prison and Sand Prison. In an instant, the entire space seemed to transform into a carnival of elements, with all sorts of forces intertwining and colliding, erupting with astonishing energy fluctuations.

Robin, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes. She carefully observed the scene in front of her and quickly analyzed, "Captain, are you able to manipulate various elements at will to launch attacks in this space that you control?"

Hearing Robin's words, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he replied, "Hahaha, that's right, exactly! From now on, my spatial confinement will not only be able to trap enemies, but will also be able to launch fierce attacks within it, leaving enemies nowhere to hide!"

However, a feeling lingered in his heart: after this breakthrough, he vaguely sensed that he now possessed the ability to manipulate time within the space he controlled. Unfortunately, he hadn't yet fully grasped or mastered this new ability, and therefore hadn't readily revealed it to others.

Chapter 64 Time Fruit

After a brief exchange with his companions, Lin Yi went to find a new place to stay. Of course, the villa that had been destroyed was rented, so they had to pay a considerable amount of money.

That night, after everyone had dinner, Lin Yi didn't talk much with the others; he needed to regroup and review his abilities.

In the newly rented villa room, Lin Yi sat on the sofa and thought to himself, "Brother Tongzi, open my attribute panel."

Looking at the panel, Lin Yi couldn't help but ponder. He wasn't surprised by the improvement in his spatial control, as it had stagnated for quite some time. But the awakening of his time-manipulation ability was quite unexpected. He didn't remember eating the Time Fruit. It seemed he would have to ask Brother Tongzi about this.

"Hey, are you there? Let's chat for a bit." Lin Yi shouted in his mind.

[Yes, host.]

"Brother Tongzi, what's with this time ability?" Lin Yi asked.

[Please don't be alarmed, host. You are the original body that transmigrated. In order to modify your body, this system once used the Time Fruit as a foundation to evolve your physical body, which is why your bodily functions have regressed to the state of when you were six years old.]

"Then why didn't I feel it before?"

Because you didn't eat it directly, your body continuously absorbed the primal energy of the Time Fruit until you mastered 50% of your spatial abilities. Only then did the primal energy of time fully integrate into your body under the influence of your spatial abilities. And because your body had already adapted to the primal energy of time, your awakening level immediately reached 57%.

After listening to Brother Tong's explanation, Lin Yi suddenly understood. So that's how it is! No wonder he always felt his spatial abilities were somewhat special. For example, in his Divine Might Space, living people could survive for a period of time; if there was no time limit, then a person inside would definitely remain motionless. It was just that this only happened in the Divine Might Space before, so he hadn't delved into the underlying principles. Now he finally understood.

"Brother Tongzi, how do I improve my time management skills next?" Lin Yi asked expectantly.

[The host should realize that the Time-Space Fruit and Space-Time Fruit rewarded by the system are different from the Time-Space Devil Fruit in One Piece. To better develop their abilities, imagination alone is useless; you need to comprehend the changes in their core.]

Sigh! He still wanted to take a shortcut through Brother Tongzi, but it seems that won't work. He can only honestly try to figure it out on his own.

Fortunately, his time awakening was 57%, and he gained several powerful abilities in his attribute panel.

He felt that several of the time and space skills could be combined, which would be much more powerful than individual skills.

For example, the skills Space Imprisonment and Time Forbiddenness, when combined, would definitely increase their power significantly.

He decided to try immediately, so he stood up, stretched out his palm, and first activated the spatial confinement. The surrounding air seemed to instantly solidify into a transparent block. Then, he tried to incorporate his time-manipulation abilities. In an instant, he felt a strange power superimposed. The originally simple spatial confinement became more profound and powerful, as if even time itself was locked within this small area. In the past, perhaps someone could break his spatial confinement with their powerful domineering cultivation, but now it would be difficult. At least those guys like Whitebeard didn't have that ability. Once they were imprisoned by him, they could only wait to die.

Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with excitement. He knew he had taken another step towards becoming stronger. With this new combination of abilities, he could shout even louder when he said he didn't want beef.

In addition, there exists an unimaginable technique: a combination of swordsmanship and time manipulation—the Reverse Severing of Life! This skill is truly terrifying. Its horror lies not in its immense destructive power, but in the fact that this attack method can directly sever the enemy's lifespan! Even more astonishing is that the number of lifespans severed increases as his own time manipulation abilities improve.

At this moment, he quietly concentrated his mind to perceive and experience. After some attempts, he discovered that with his current strength, a single attack could cut off about three years of an enemy's lifespan. Moreover, the cut-off lifespan was irreversible. For example, if you could have lived to 70, but Lin Yi cut off three years of your lifespan, you would only live to 67. This kind of damage could not be repaired with medicine.

This is a disaster for some people who don't have long lifespans.

However, even though this skill is incredibly powerful, Lin Yi still prefers to take down the enemies himself.

After reviewing his abilities, Lin Yi went back to bed satisfied. He thought to himself, "I should be invincible in this world now, hehe."

Chapter 65 The Gods of Water

In the days that followed, Lin Yi spent most of his time eating, drinking, and having fun in Water Seven, except for occasionally checking on the progress of the shipbuilding.

A month later, Iceberg sent someone to inform him that shipbuilding needed to be temporarily suspended for a period of time.

This puzzled Lin Yi greatly. Although Iceberg was the mayor of the Seven Waters City and often had to handle official business, he would always explain things to the other shipbuilders in advance, and there had never been a work stoppage. Could it be that something unexpected had happened?

Fortunately, nothing was wrong at the moment, so Lin Yi decided to go and see for himself what was going on.

Upon arriving at Carrera's office, Lin Yi found the doors locked and the office deserted. He was even more puzzled. Had the company gone bankrupt? If so, he was about to lose his temper.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then turned and headed toward the mayor's office building.

Sure enough, he found Iceberg in a meeting there. Lin Yi didn't disturb him immediately, but instead followed the receptionist to an office to wait quietly.

The iceberg didn't keep Lin Yi waiting for long; about ten minutes later, he walked into the office.

At this moment, Iceberg looked exhausted and like he had kidney deficiency. Lin Yi felt a little sorry for him. Of course, he still had to squeeze him dry, as the construction of the Dream Ship could not be stopped.

"How did it get into this state?" After all, he was his chief shipbuilder, so Lin Yi still asked with concern.

"I haven't slept for two days," Iceberg said weakly.

"What happened? You need to take good care of yourself. What will happen to my ship if you suddenly die?" Lin Yi said seriously.

Iceberg was initially touched by the first half of Lin Yi's sentence, thinking that Lin Yi was a decent person. However, the second half left him speechless. It seemed that this guy was just using him as a tool.

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do! The annual Water Gods' Festival in Water Seven is just around the corner, and I have to quickly arrange for people to make full preparations," Iceberg sighed with a worried expression.

Although Water Seven has developed over the years and now possesses quite complete and advanced facilities to cope with the descent of the water gods, the prosperous city still inevitably suffers many losses each time the surging, sky-covering water gods truly descend.

"Is this why you decided to suspend ship construction?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. After all, many of the important facilities needed to deal with the water gods have to be operated and managed by our company’s employees. We’re simply not in a position to handle everything, so I’m really sorry, but your ship construction will have to be suspended for a few days.” Iceberg explained with a helpless spread of his hands.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi frowned deeply. Of course, he didn't believe that Iceberg should disregard the safety of Water City and focus solely on building ships for himself. On the contrary, Lin Yi believed that if it were merely a tsunami disaster of this scale, caused by the so-called "Water Gods," he was fully capable of easily resolving it with his own abilities. Therefore, he felt there was absolutely no need to halt the ongoing shipbuilding project.

So he suggested to Iceberg, "Iceberg, I am perfectly capable of dealing with those so-called water gods you just mentioned. In that case, why don't you continue building ships for me? I solemnly promise you that I can absolutely ensure the safety of Water Seven. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Iceberg's brows furrowed instantly. It wasn't that he doubted Lin Yi's abilities, but rather that he deeply understood the immense responsibility he bore as the mayor of the Seven Waters City. He had to be accountable for the tens of thousands of people living in this city, and therefore, faced with such an unknown and risky undertaking, he dared not easily take the plunge.

After a fierce internal struggle, Iceberg finally responded with a conflicted expression: "It's not that I lack trust in your abilities, but rather that I bear the lives and safety of tens of thousands of citizens on my shoulders! So, please forgive me, I really cannot grant your request."

After listening, Lin Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Bing Shan's concerns and worries. Since the other party's attitude was firm, he naturally did not try to persuade him further, thinking that it would be fine to stop work for a few days.

Seeing that Bing Shan was indeed very busy, Lin Yi didn't linger and left after a brief chat.

Walking down the street, looking at the residents who were rushing around with worried expressions, Lin Yi sighed inwardly. That Iceberg guy really has no taste. I'm such a strong person, and you still refuse to help him. No wonder you look like you have kidney deficiency.

He wasn't just making things up. Even Whitebeard could shake a tsunami, so he was much stronger than Whitebeard. What difficulty would it be for him to block a mere tsunami?

Three days later, at dawn, the bustling city seemed shrouded in a shadow. Everyone in the city could clearly feel a heavy and oppressive atmosphere quietly spreading. Even the usually lively and adorable little animals, darting around freely, became restless and anxious, howling wildly in a cacophony of sounds, as if they sensed some great danger was about to befall them.

Just then, a piercing and loud alarm blared throughout Water Seven. The sharp siren, like a sword slicing through the sky, instantly shattered the city's tranquility. Hearing the sudden alarm, the city's residents' faces paled. Relying on years of experience and instinct, they rushed to their homes as fast as they could, tightly closing the doors and using various objects to barricade doors and windows as a precaution. These actions were as natural and routine to them as eating a meal.

However, unlike the other panicked residents, Lin Yi and his group did not choose to hide indoors. Instead, they gracefully soared into the air, their eyes fixed intently on the distance. They were filled with curiosity and anticipation, eager to witness firsthand just how powerful the legendary water gods truly were. At the same time, they closely watched what measures Water City would take to resist this potential disaster.

Lin Yi looked toward the port of Water City and found that the ships that were docked there were gone, presumably moved away in advance.
