One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

"You're all alright. Satan and I have been resurrected three times, and I'm afraid we'll need to sleep to recover from our injuries for a long time to come," Maz said with a wry smile. He and Satan looked to be in much worse shape than Satan and the other two; they were almost unable to sit up straight.

The others were also deeply troubled upon hearing this. Their physical injuries weren't actually the most serious problem for them. What truly worried them was the enormous price they had paid for their resurrection.

Each time they are resurrected, a piece of their soul is torn away, a pain as unbearable as a thousand ants gnawing at their bones. Repairing this missing soul requires not only a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs, but also a long period of time and meticulous care.

Moreover, this resurrection is not unlimited. Based on their experience, they can only be resurrected a maximum of three times in a short period of time. Once this number is exceeded, their souls will completely collapse, and at that point, they will likely become mindless idiots.

"Alas, we miscalculated this time. We didn't expect Lin Yi to not only have a strange Devil Fruit ability, but also to be incredibly powerful in swordsmanship and Haki. Now, I'm afraid no one but Lord Im is his match." Saint Pitt said with a grim expression. Although the Five-Star Anti-Air Array successfully restricted Lin Yi's spatial abilities, Lin Yi's Haki and swordsmanship caught them off guard.

"We messed things up this time, and we only managed to escape thanks to Lord Im's intervention. Now we don't know if Lord Im will punish us for this," Nasujuro said with some worry.

"There's no use thinking about it so much. Let's focus on recovering from our injuries. The World Government has a lot of things that need our attention," Satan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, focusing on absorbing the essence of the medicinal herbs to heal their injuries.

Just then, Lin Yi's voice rang out in the secret room: "Hehe, we have a guest. Aren't you all going to come out and greet him?"

The sudden sound startled the five men, who sprang to their feet and looked around in alarm. They hadn't expected Lin Yi to chase them all the way to Mary Geoise. Didn't he know this was Lord Im's territory? How dare he do this?

"Lin Yi, how dare you come to Mary Geoise!" Nasshouro Sei shouted angrily at the air.

"Haha, what do I have to be afraid of? Or do you think I need to fear you five defeated opponents?" Lin Yi mocked.

“You…” Nasu Shouro was furious.

"Hmph, Lin Yi, don't think you can be arrogant just because you defeated us. You should know that the World Government's strongmen are not just the five of us," Satan Saint said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, you mean Im? You're probably disappointed. He might not have time for you right now, and even if he did, he might not be a match for me," Lin Yi teased.

"Insanity."

"presumptuous."

"court death."

Hearing Lin Yi's dismissive words about Im, the Five Elders all angrily cursed at Lin Yi.

"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you guys anymore. I'm not here to kill you, but to treat you to a fireworks show. Come on out." Lin Yi didn't want to keep arguing with them. It was getting late, and he had to go back to his banquet.

"Lin Yi, what exactly are you trying to do?" Nassuro Sei shouted angrily.

But Lin Yi did not reply this time.

The five people looked at each other, not understanding Lin Yi's purpose.

"Let's go out and take a look. With Lord Im here, he probably won't dare to be too presumptuous," Saint Satan said in a deep voice.

"You two go ahead, Maz and I aren't in the right condition to go out right now," said Vocuri, sounding somewhat weak.

Satan and the other two nodded without saying anything more. They pushed open the door to the secret chamber and disappeared from the spot in the next moment.

"So, have those five old guys returned?" Da Pan asked impatiently as soon as Lin Yi opened his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm back. Haha, those old geezers are healing their wounds right now. I've already notified them, and they should be here soon," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Ah, then can we just kill them all?" Da Pan said, his eyes shining.

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their gazes to Lin Yi, their eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "The World Government is not as simple as it seems. Now is not the time to kill them."

"Oh, okay then," Da Pan said, somewhat disappointed.

Before Lin Yi and his group had to wait long, Satan and his two companions appeared in the skies above Mary Geoise and confronted them.

"Speak, Lin Yi, what do you want to do?" Satan Saint said in a deep voice.

Lin Yi did not directly answer Dasatan Saint's question, but asked with interest, "Why are there only three of you? Where are the other two? Are they dead?"

"You didn't come here just to argue with us, did you?" Satan said with a gloomy expression.

"Of course not, I'm here to invite you to watch the fireworks," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"What fireworks?" Satan and the other two frowned, but they soon found out what kind of fireworks they were.

While Lin Yi and Satan Saint were talking, the Angel Judgment had already changed course. At Lin Yi's command, two long, silver-gray cannons extended from its bow, which were the two annihilation cannons that Lin Yi had obtained through his sign-in.

Seeing this, Satan and his two companions instinctively sensed something was wrong, but before they could stop them, the Annihilation Cannon fired two terrifying beams of energy that struck a mountain not far from Mary Geoise, a mountain larger than a medium-sized island. Instantly, the mountain that was hit vanished as if it had been evaporated.

Even Lin Yi was startled by such power, let alone the others. They were all dumbfounded, followed by deep fear. This kind of power was simply beyond human resistance.

Satan and the other two swallowed hard, looking at Lin Yi in horror. What if that attack had hit Mary Geoise...?

Just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat. Thank goodness this guy hasn't gone crazy yet, or the consequences would have been severe.

"This is a warning to you. If you provoke me again, this attack will land on Mary Geoise." Lin Yi snorted coldly and led everyone away through the spatial gate.

Satan and the other two stood frozen in mid-air, speechless for a long time.

Chapter 104 Departure, Fishman Island (Trash chapter, can be skipped)

After firing two shots in Mary Geoise, Lin Yi felt refreshed, and the anger he felt from being besieged by the World Government finally subsided.

The reason why the artillery fire was not directed at Mary Geoise was because Mary Geoise contained not only Celestial Dragons but also many innocent civilians. Lin Yi could not truly disregard those people just to kill the Celestial Dragons. Therefore, Lin Yi only made a show of force and then took no further action.

Upon returning to the Sabaody Archipelago, Lin Yi hosted a grand banquet for his friends aboard the Angel's Judgment.

While preparing for the banquet, Lin Yi also invited Rayleigh, only to find that he had already left the Sabaody Archipelago.

Lin Yi had no choice but to give up. Rayleigh was also present during the previous battle, but he had hidden himself. Initially, when the Seven Warlords of the Sea made their move, Rayleigh intended to help Lin Yi and his group, but later Crocodile and the others betrayed them, and Rayleigh went into hiding again.

Lin Yi could understand this. When Roger surrendered, he had negotiated with the World Government, which stipulated that his crew could retire. The World Government agreed, but on the condition that they could not become enemies with any of its forces, otherwise the World Government would reinstate the bounty on them.

For the sake of his old comrades, Rayleigh has been living a quiet life in seclusion on Sabaody Archipelago all these years, because he knows that if he takes action, it will not only implicate himself, but also the Roger Pirates.

Not long after the banquet began, Garp arrived uninvited. Sengoku was originally going to take Garp away to avoid suspicion, but Garp didn't care about that. He ignored Sengoku's roar and went to the Angel Judgment alone.

The banquet lasted a long time, and many interesting things happened during it, making people laugh.

Da Pan and Ka Pu were both completely drunk. In their drunken stupor, they embraced and shouted that they wanted to become sworn brothers. The scene was so comical that everyone present burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the three fish-men, Simon, Dota, and Jinbe, were also enjoying a good drink. However, halfway through their meal, whether due to the alcohol or some other reason, the three suddenly hugged each other and burst into tears. This unexpected scene left those around them somewhat bewildered, unsure how to comfort them.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was also somewhat moved. Dotai and Simon had followed him for a long time and were always hardworking and conscientious. No one could tell that they were hiding bitterness in their hearts.

By the end, everyone except a few girls was completely drunk.

The next day, Lin Yi woke up in his room, shook his throbbing head, and muttered a curse under his breath. He really couldn't understand why he would get a headache from drinking alcohol when he was in such good physical condition.

"Could this be considered one of my weaknesses?" Lin Yi asked helplessly.

After washing up, Lin Yi went to the deck and found that most people were still hungover. Looking at Da Pan and the others lying on the ground, Lin Yi's lips curled up. He took out his camera from his storage space and started snapping pictures of these people. This was a rare glimpse into his embarrassing past.

Just as Lin Yi was taking pictures, Hawkeye walked over with a cup of coffee in his hand and said in a strange way, "I didn't expect you to have such a wicked sense of humor."

At the same time, he was glad that he could hold his liquor, otherwise he would have been the subject of the photo in Lin Yi's hand.

"Haha, don't you think these photos are very meaningful?" Lin Yi said with a satisfied smile as he put away his camera.

“They don’t think so.”

"Trust me, they'll thank me when they see the photos later," Lin Yi said, as if he were doing it for their own good.

"Heh." Hawkeye could only chuckle at this, then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"What, you want to join us?" Lin Yi asked, feigning surprise.

"No, I just feel like you know a lot of things that I don't know."

"Oh, which aspect are you referring to?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"For example, the truth about this world," Hawkeye said seriously, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Yi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "I can't tell you now, because I don't actually know much. I'll definitely tell you when I find it later."

Hawkeye nodded and didn't press the matter further.

Afterwards, everyone gradually woke up, had a hearty breakfast, and then went their separate ways.

“Uncle Tom, now that the crisis is over, do you want to stay with us or go back to Water Seven?” Lin Yi asked Tom.

“Uncle Tom, why don’t you stay? We need you,” Dotay said quickly. He had learned a lot from Tom during this time.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Tom, please stay." Everyone urged. After spending some time together, they all liked this seemingly serious but warm-hearted old man.

"Haha, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with you, but the Angel Judgment can't do without my maintenance," Tom said with a touch of arrogance, puffing out his beard.

"Haha, that's great!" Everyone was happy to hear that Uncle Tom was staying.

Lin Yi smiled. With an experienced shipbuilder on board, there was no need to worry about the daily maintenance of the Angel Judgment.

At noon, Lin Yi and his group held a simple welcome party for Tom to celebrate his official joining the Dream Exploration and Adventure Team.

After that, Lin Yi arranged for the Angel Judgment to undergo coating.

Coating is a specialized hull protection technology primarily used to enable ships to navigate in the deep sea. Specifically, coating technology creates a giant bubble on the exterior of the hull, isolating the ship from the seawater and protecting the vessel and crew from the high pressure and corrosive effects of the deep sea. This technology is crucial for deep-sea navigation, especially for voyages to Fishman Island, located 10,000 meters below the seabed; coating is essential for such destinations.

Although Kree's bubbles could effectively isolate the seawater and provide some protection for the Angel Judgment, relying on these bubbles to support the entire ship to reach Fishman Island, which is 10,000 meters deep, was still too much for Kree to handle.

Of course, Lin Yi's spatial abilities could achieve the same effect, but he felt it was unnecessary to go to such lengths. After all, if there was a simpler way to solve the problem, why overwork himself?

Although coating is not a particularly complex process, the sheer size of the Angel Judgment caused the entire coating process to take a full week.

After finally completing the coating work on the Angel Judgment, Lin Yi and his partners couldn't contain their excitement and were eager to set off immediately.

Dota and Simon, in particular, had been away from their hometown for a long time and their longing for Fishman Island had grown stronger, so they seemed especially impatient at this moment.

"Depart!" With Lin Yi's command, an enormous transparent bubble instantly rose from the exterior of the Angel Judgment, like a giant protective shield, tightly enveloping the entire ship.

Then, supported by the bubbles, the Angel Judgment slowly sank into the sea. The water around the ship was completely isolated by the bubbles, creating an unusually quiet space.

Standing on the deck, everyone gazed excitedly at the strange and magnificent underwater world around them, their hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity for the unknown journey.
