One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that Water Seven had risen by seven or eight meters, indicating that the people of Water Seven had taken many countermeasures over the years.

Just as Lin Yi was about to explore other areas, the tsunami finally arrived.

In the distance, a black wall of water, tens of meters high, slowly advanced, startling seabirds in its wake. With a deafening roar, the wall of water pressed down on Water Seven with earth-shattering force.

The defenses of Water Seven have been activated, and many drainage holes have been exposed in the streets. It seems that although Water Seven has made many preparations, it has no better solution than to dredge the drains.

The tsunami relentlessly pounded on Water Seven, and Water Seven was quickly submerged by the seawater. Although it was not completely destroyed, many buildings were damaged, and some unfortunate residents were even swept out of their homes by the seawater.

Then people in uniforms will come to the rescue riding a sea monster called Blue.

Although the tsunami was terrifying, the Seven Waters City, under the command of the iceberg, continued to operate in an orderly manner without causing too much damage. During this time, Lin Yi and his group also helped rescue residents who had fallen into the water.

But just when the residents of Water Seven thought the tsunami would soon pass.

Larger waves surged on the distant sea, accompanied by a terrifying storm.

Seeing this scene from the iceberg atop the City Hall building, his exhausted face turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected the Twin Water Gods, a phenomenon that only occurs once every century, to reappear. This time, Water City was likely to suffer heavy losses.

Just when he was in despair, Lin Yi made his move.

Lin Yi flashed to the front of the huge wave, ignoring the raging storm. He stretched out his arm and touched it lightly. Instantly, the space in front of him seemed to freeze. The once unstoppable tsunami stopped moving. A few seconds later, the storm stopped howling, the seawater began to recede, and the sea surface returned to calm.

The townspeople, watching this scene through their windows, were all astonished. Iceberg stood atop the city hall, eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief. Lin Yi turned and grinned at him, a smile that seemed to say, "See, you should have believed me sooner."

Chapter 66 Spandam Wants Revenge

Standing in the air, Lin Yi moved his hands, and the powerful spatial force, like an invisible giant hand, forcefully calmed the surging tsunami. This awe-inspiring scene was witnessed by many people, and the news spread rapidly.

When Lin Yi returned to Water City, although the seawater had not completely receded, the residents who had taken refuge in their rooms could not contain their excitement and joy. They opened their windows or rushed to their balconies, shouting enthusiastically and passionately at Lin Yi in the sky.

Faced with such a warm welcome, Lin Yi wore a faint smile. He didn't linger to enjoy the honor and praise, but instead, he quickly threw himself into the intense and busy rescue work.

Time ticked by, and night gradually fell. Iceberg, dragging his weary body, finally found Lin Yi and the others who were working tirelessly to rescue the trapped people. He staggered to Lin Yi, bowed deeply, and respectfully greeted them. At that moment, Iceberg was filled with remorse, feeling utterly ashamed of his previous underestimation and doubt of Lin Yi's abilities.

"Mr. Lin Yi, if it weren't for your help, Water City would have suffered a devastating blow. And I would have been condemned for my foolish actions for all eternity, and might even have had to die to atone for my mistake!" Iceberg said sincerely.

Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively, replying, "These are all minor matters, don't worry about them. As long as you can build me a satisfactory ship as promised, that will be the greatest reward for me."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Iceberg's eyes. He solemnly nodded and promised, "Rest assured, Mr. Lin Yi. I will dedicate all my knowledge to building you an unparalleled, top-tier ship to repay your life-saving grace today!"

Afterwards, the two briefly exchanged details regarding the Water Seven rescue operation. During this time, Lin Yi noticed that Iceberg's face was becoming increasingly pale and his mental state was extremely poor, so he earnestly advised, "You look exhausted. You should go back and rest. If you don't rest, I'm really worried you might suddenly die here."

This time, Iceberg did not stubbornly stick to his own opinion as usual, but listened to Lin Yi's advice. After expressing his gratitude to Lin Yi and the other rescuers again, he slowly turned and left, trudging towards his resting place.

Although the tsunami that struck Water City was powerful, the damage it caused was not as severe as people had imagined. Fortunately, the natural disaster did not result in any casualties. In less than a week after the raging sea receded, the entire city quickly began reconstruction. During this time, Lin Yi and his partners lent a helping hand and actively participated in the effort, contributing their own strength to the city's recovery.

The residents who had witnessed Lin Yi's heroic deeds were overflowing with gratitude and admiration. Their attitude towards Lin Yi could only be described as "fiery," especially some cheerful and bold girls who openly expressed their admiration for him.

Therefore, Felina has been following Lin Yi around closely these past few days, which has left Lin Yi somewhat amused and exasperated.

With the rescue operation successfully concluded, Lin Yi decided to visit Carrera Shipyard again. Several days had passed since his last visit, and he was eager to learn about the latest progress in the new ship's construction. As he strode briskly through the shipyard gates, the scene before him surprised him slightly—Old Tom was there too!

Upon seeing Lin Yi's arrival, Iceberg, who was busy at work, immediately stopped and hurried to greet him. Ever since Lin Yi saved Water Seven, Iceberg had treated him with utmost respect and deference. No matter how Lin Yi tried to persuade him gently, Iceberg always maintained this humble attitude. Over time, seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Lin Yi stopped insisting and could only let Iceberg continue in this manner.

After a brief greeting, Lin Yi smiled, raised his hand and pointed towards Tom, who was busy working surrounded by a group of burly men, and asked, "Mr. Tom, why are you involved in the construction of the ship? Does this mean that the sea train project you are in charge of has been successfully completed?"

Upon hearing this, Iceberg, standing to the side, smiled slightly and replied, "Actually, the construction of the sea train is already on track. Even without you, teacher, the progress of the entire project won't be greatly affected. It's just that you've always been worried about this project, which is why you've been staying there to oversee it. As for why you're here this time, I'm not entirely sure, but I guess it's because you successfully saved Water Seven."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Haha! In that case, I've really hit the jackpot this time! With a world-renowned shipbuilding master like Mr. Tom personally lending his assistance, my new ship will surely become even more perfect!"

Just then, Tom, who had been engrossed in his work, seemed to hear the conversation coming from this side. He slowly put down the tools he was holding, then laughed heartily and strode straight toward Lin Yi's location.

"Lin Yi, thank you so much for saving Water Seven. Thank you." Tom said solemnly as he approached Lin Yi.

Lin Yi quickly waved his hand, "You're too kind. This is what I should do. After all, Water City is such a beautiful place, and no one wants it to be destroyed."

Tom smiled and nodded. "You're not only strong, but also kind-hearted. Since you're here today, take a good look at the new designs I made for your ship." With that, Tom led Lin Yi into the house.

Unfolding the huge design drawings on the table, Tom pointed to the dense lines and explained, "This part uses new materials to enhance the ship's sturdiness; this is the unique power system design, which will significantly increase speed..."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up as he listened. Although the design blueprints rewarded by the system were perfect, there were many things he needed to add. Therefore, the advice from Tom, the shipbuilding master, was still very necessary. Lin Yi listened attentively and occasionally voiced his own requirements.

Just as they were having a heated discussion, one of Iceberg's men rushed in. After whispering a few words in Iceberg's ear, Iceberg's face immediately turned ugly.

"What's wrong, Espagu?" Tom noticed that Iceberg's expression was off and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, teacher. You all chat. I have some things to take care of at the city hall, so I'll be leaving now," Iceberg said, his expression returning to calm, before quickly leaving.

Watching the departing iceberg, Tom and Lin Yi both sensed something was wrong; otherwise, the usually composed iceberg wouldn't have shown such an expression.

"Lin Yi, why don't you go and find out what's going on for me?" Tom asked Lin Yi.

"Why don't you go yourself?" Lin Yi glanced at the old man who was ordering him around and said reluctantly.

"Sigh, I know Espagu's personality. I definitely won't get any information from him if I go and ask him," old man Tom said helplessly.

"So I can just ask and find out?" Lin Yi was somewhat skeptical.

"Hehe, you're strong, so if you ask him, he can ask you for help if he encounters any difficulties, right?" Tom said with a shrewd look on his fat face.

"Haha, Mr. Tom is quite frank. Alright, as Mr. Iceberg's employer, I'll go and find out what's going on." Lin Yi wasn't angry at Tom's shrewdness; instead, he laughed.

"Haha, Lin Yi, don't say I'm taking advantage of you. I still have some memory metal on hand, which I can use to build your new ship. This is a good thing. After incorporating this metal, your ship will either fall apart immediately or automatically recover from ordinary damage. How about that? I didn't let you suffer any losses, did I?" Tom laughed.

Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised to hear this, as he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain. He immediately assured him, "No matter what trouble Mr. Iceberg encounters, I will help him solve it."

Tom was very satisfied with Lin Yi's assurance. With Lin Yi's strength, there really weren't many things in this world that he couldn't solve.

Having benefited, Lin Yi quickly took action. He sensed the location of the iceberg and used spatial teleportation to arrive in front of it.

The sudden appearance of Lin Yi startled the iceberg. Upon seeing that it was Lin Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "Lin Yi, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, you left looking so preoccupied, Mr. Tom was worried and asked me to come and ask about it," Lin Yi asked casually.

"Sigh, I'm sorry to have worried the teacher," Iceberg said with a deep sigh.

"What's wrong? Is something really wrong? If so, tell me and see if I can help you." Lin Yi casually took out an apple from his spatial storage and asked while eating it.

Upon hearing this, Iceberg's eyes lit up. That's right, Lin Yi is so strong, he must have a way to solve this.

He looked directly at the other person with a solemn expression and spoke without hesitation: "The matter concerning Spandam has now come to the attention of the World Government. They have ruthlessly threatened me, demanding that I hand over my teacher and the blueprints for Pluton. If I dare to disobey this order, they will not hesitate to issue a Buster Call against Water Seven! However, with our current strength, openly defying the World Government is simply a pipe dream and a death wish!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi frowned, pondering to himself. He hadn't expected this matter to involve him, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely surprising. After all, since those guys couldn't do anything to him, it was only natural for them to turn their attention to Bing Shan and the others.

To be honest, Lin Yi wasn't afraid of the Demon-Slaying Order. What troubled him was that he couldn't stay in Water City indefinitely. The moment he left, those treacherous villains would surely seize the opportunity to attack Iceberg and the others. Although he could leave spatial markers beforehand for emergencies, he couldn't monitor the situation there constantly. If those villains suddenly attacked, even if he noticed in time, he probably wouldn't be able to reach them in time.

So he asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Iceberg shook his head. He was in a state of turmoil. On one hand, he didn't want to sacrifice his teacher, but the World Government was not something he could contend with.

So he pleaded, "Could you protect my teacher?"

“Protecting him is no problem, but I won’t stay in Water Seven forever. Are you sure he’ll leave with me? And even if I take Tom away, there’s no guarantee the World Government won’t continue to target you, after all, Spandam’s father still holds some influence.” Lin Yi had no objection to protecting Tom; Tom would still be useful in some of his future plans.

“As long as you’re willing to protect the teacher, I’ll take care of the rest,” Iceberg said firmly.

"Although I don't know what your backup plan is, I'll still leave you some protection." Lin Yi first left a spatial mark on the iceberg, so that he could be teleported away in case of a life-or-death crisis. Then he threw him a silver coin engraved with a spatial mark, which would trigger the iceberg's senses and allow him to come and rescue him in time.

"Keep this silver coin safe. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can trigger the spatial marker on it, and I will sense it and teleport here immediately," Lin Yi instructed.

Iceberg solemnly accepted the silver coin and carefully placed it close to his body.

"Thank you, Lin Yi. You've helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you," Bing Shan said gratefully.

"It's alright, Mr. Tom gave me a lot of good things," Lin Yi said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

Iceberg didn't say anything more about gratitude, but silently resolved in his heart that he would do his best to help Lin Yi whenever he needed him in the future.

A branch of the World Government CP organization.

Spandam listened to his subordinates' report with a gloomy expression.

"Damn bastard, who does he think he is? A mere mayor of Water Seven, daring to defy the World Government's orders! And you, Lin Yi, dared to kill my son! I'll make you pay for this in blood!" Spandam roared like a demon, as if he wanted to devour someone, which terrified the person who came to report.

"Get the hell out of here, all of you get the hell out of here!" Spandam shouted.

The man hurriedly retreated, and once outside, he couldn't help but think to himself: Damn it, his own son was so brainless as to provoke Lin Yi, he deserved to die. He didn't even dare to seek revenge on Lin Yi, so why was he getting angry at him, a mere errand boy? Ugh, what a coward.

Spandam gasped for breath, and it took him a long time to calm down. He thought for a while and realized that Lin Yi was too strong. He had no ability to take revenge. The only way to get revenge was to rely on the World Government. But would they stand up for him? After all, even the Marine Admirals had died at Lin Yi's hands.

I don't care anymore, I can't swallow this insult, Lin Yi, you just wait.

After taking some things out of his safe, he headed towards Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

Chapter 67 Angel's Judgment

Time flies like an arrow, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Lin Yi had predicted, he remained in Water Seven for these four months, but the World Government did not send anyone to cause trouble for Iceberg and Tom. However, both Iceberg and Lin Yi knew very well that the World Government would not let the matter rest so easily. Once Lin Yi chose to leave, the World Government's ironclad forces would undoubtedly march into Water Seven without hesitation, unleashing a bloodbath.

In this tense yet peaceful atmosphere, after five months of arduous work, Lin Yi's dream ship, which he had been thinking about day and night, was finally completed!

At this moment, Lin Yi stood shoulder to shoulder with his group of companions, all standing before a mysterious, colossal creature completely shrouded in a huge blue cloth. All eyes were fixed on this behemoth, their eyes filled with anticipation.

A hearty laugh rang out, and it was Tom laughing uproariously from the side: "Haha, Lin Yi, you've really gotten a great deal this time! I've put out a lot of good stuff to build this ship!" From his hearty laughter, one could tell that Tom was filled with immense pride and satisfaction for the brand-new ship in front of him.

Lin Yi laughed heartily upon hearing this, replying, "Haha, then we'll wait and see!"

"Haha, you won't be disappointed, Iceberg, go open the curtain." Tom said confidently.

Upon hearing Tom's command, Iceberg dashed towards the small control panel tucked away in the corner like an arrow. Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and forcefully pressed the prominent red button on the control panel.

In an instant, a deafening roar of machinery suddenly erupted. At the same time, the enormous curtain that had been covering the giant ship began to slowly rise. Several thick ropes tightly gripped the curtain, pulling it upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the curtain was slowly lifted, a colossal ship, breathtaking in its magnificence, was finally revealed to the crowd. The entire vessel was predominantly a deep blue, cleverly accented with silver-white stripes, exuding both elegance and majesty. From a distance, it resembled a colossal beast lurking in the depths of the ocean, poised to burst forth and display its power.

When people first saw the ship in its entirety, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The ship's lines were extremely smooth and natural, like a finely crafted work of art. The bow resembled an incomparably sharp blade capable of cleaving through raging waves, forging ahead fearlessly; while the hull exuded a mysterious and unfathomable luster, as if it contained boundless and powerful strength, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Tom noticed the shocked and surprised looks on everyone's faces, and a smug smile crept onto his lips. He confidently declared, "Well, this ship didn't disappoint you, did it?"

"Haha, this is much more impressive than I imagined! But... I wonder how well it actually performs?" Lin Yi said with satisfaction.

Although he was very satisfied with the ship's appearance, he knew that its performance was a more crucial factor than its looks. After all, only ships with superior performance could navigate safely on turbulent seas and accomplish various challenging tasks.

"Haha, now let me personally lead you all aboard this giant ship and give you a detailed introduction to some of its unique design features." Tom said as he walked forward, gesturing for everyone to follow him.

Once everyone was on board, Tom began to introduce the ship to them.

First, let’s look at the ship’s specifications and appearance: it is 98 meters long and 43 meters wide. Its conventional power comes from four huge sails, but it also incorporates a number of mechanical designs that can be used in conjunction with intelligent systems.

The ship has three decks and a majestic and imposing overall design. The hull is made of Adam Wood, which is sturdy and durable and can withstand extreme weather and artillery fire. Furthermore, it incorporates memory metal, which allows the ship to automatically repair itself when damaged.

The ship has smooth lines, and the bow is decorated with a huge black and white angel statue, symbolizing power and majesty. The stern is designed in a streamlined shape to improve sailing speed.

Secondly, there's the energy system. The new ship has two energy systems: one is a high-energy solar panel on the top: covering the entire deck, absorbing solar energy and converting it into electricity, operating efficiently even on cloudy days. At the connection point of the solar panels, there is a large-capacity battery that stores a large amount of electrical energy to meet the ship's daily lighting, power system, and equipment operation needs, ensuring energy self-sufficiency.

There is also a small nuclear power energy device at the bottom power equipment, which can be used in emergencies.

In addition to the above, the new ship has made detailed plans for those functional areas.
