One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

"Hehe, uncle, it's not good to be distracted during a battle." Da Pan seized the opportunity and slammed his Dragon Staff into Chong Shan's waist. Chong Shan was sent flying and crashed into several houses. Fortunately, the people nearby had already seen that things were not going well and ran away. They had experience with this kind of thing. Anyway, the Flower Kingdom would compensate them later.

Chongshan stood up from the ruins. He had reacted quickly and covered his waist with Armament Haki, so although he looked disheveled, he was not seriously injured.

"Who are you people? With such strength, how could we not have heard of you on the high seas?" Chongshan said with a grim expression.

"Uncle, I'll tell you after you beat me," Da Pan said, full of fighting spirit. This uncle was not as strong as Qingjiao, which was just right for him.

"Hmph, don't be so arrogant!" Chongshan drew his sword and fought Da Pan again.

Lin Yi led Chiyo and Felina to the terrified Mochizuki Chimune and asked Chiyo, "Should we kill him?"

Chiyo looked at her brother with a complicated expression. Although Mochizuki Chimune was a scoundrel, he was still her biological brother and the head of the Mochizuki family in this generation. She couldn't bear to kill him.

"Captain, please let him go. Killing him will enrage Father."

"Fine, then let him go this time." Lin Yi didn't care. It didn't matter to him whether he killed this kind of person or not, since he couldn't threaten him anyway. But if he messed with him again, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Just like Da Pan, he kicked him in the butt, sending him flying.

Then, we turned our attention to Fiona's battlefield. The others were all handling the situation with ease, and Da Pan was even dominating Chong Shan. Only Fiona's strength was not much different from the swordsman's, so we had to keep an eye on her to prevent any accidents.

Chapter 19 Goodbye Green Pepper

The clanging of blades rang out continuously as Fiona and the swordsman's figures constantly clashed. The swordsman's swordsmanship was stronger than Fiona's, but he hadn't reached the Black Blade Mirror level, meaning he hadn't yet reached the level of covering his sword with Armament Haki.

Fiona moved nimbly across the battlefield, managing to hold her own against her opponents using the Six Styles of the Navy.

Fiona's attacks were as fierce and swift as a storm, leaving her opponents no room for complacency.

As time passed, Fiona became increasingly familiar with her newly attained Sword Master realm. The longsword in her hand seemed to come alive, exceptionally agile and its attacks increasingly cunning and unpredictable. At times, it moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, striking directly at the enemy's vitals; at other times, it was like a serpent spitting its tongue, making it impossible to defend against.

In this fierce battle, Fiona constantly adjusted her tactics and techniques, perfectly fusing the power of the Navy's Six Styles with the power of the Sword Master's Realm. Her attacks were not only extremely fast, but also unpredictable in angle, leaving her enemies with no way to defend themselves. Gradually, her opponents, who had initially been able to hold their own, began to fall behind, struggling to cope with Fiona's relentless barrage of attacks.

"Light Martial Sword Technique - Phantom Instant Slash!" As Fiona unleashed this move, her figure, which had been attacking the swordsman, suddenly became illusory. The swordsman only felt a blur before his eyes and instinctively raised his sword to defend. But Fiona's attack was too fast, slicing open his chest in one strike.

With a loud thud, the swordsman was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled to his feet, only to find himself wounded in multiple places and unable to fight any longer. Fiona slowly approached him, her longsword pointed at his throat.

"I've lost." The swordsman closed his eyes helplessly, awaiting the final blow. However, Fiona sheathed her sword, said nothing, and walked back to Lin Yi and the others.

"Sister, you're so amazing!" Filina said admiringly. Chiyo, standing beside her, nodded frantically, her bright eyes gazing at Filina as if she were looking at an idol.

Fiona, who originally wanted to maintain a cool demeanor, almost lost her aloof image because of the antics of her two little fangirls.

"Not bad, you have mastered both the Six Styles of the Navy and the Light Weapon Sword Technique quite well. Now, even a regular naval colonel is no match for you," Lin Yi praised.

"Hmm," Fiona replied coolly, still holding Xueyin. But a slight smile played on her lips; clearly, Lin Yi's praise pleased her.

Seeing her sister's attitude, Felina pulled Chiyo aside and whispered, "My sister clearly cares a lot about Brother Lin Yi's praise, but she always pretends not to care. Brother Lin Yi says that's called being tsundere."

Although Felina spoke very softly, the people present were naturally able to hear these whispers. Fiona glared at Felina, thinking to herself that perhaps this younger sister hadn't been beaten enough. No, starting tomorrow, she would drag her out of bed to train every day.

Meanwhile, Filina, who was sharing gossip with Chiyo, was unaware that she was being targeted by her own sister.

Simon Dote was fighting five officers of the Four Treasures Navy. Although they were not as strong individually as Simon Dote, the five of them had excellent teamwork, and one of them was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, although it was just an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit. This made Simon Dote's battle more complicated.

In the end, Simon Dote managed to win the battle with a difficult combination of Naval Six Styles and Fishman Karate.

The two were covered in blood and looked rather miserable, but overall they only had superficial injuries and were not seriously hurt. They helped each other to Lin Yi's side.

"Is the injury serious?" Lin Yi asked.

Simon shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Dotay said, "I broke a rib."

This was done by the Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

None of Lin Yi's group were doctors, and everyone nearby had fled. Lin Yi could only spend five prosperity points in the system shop to buy a healing potion for Duotai. The effect was immediate, and Duotai soon reported that his ribs had healed. Actually, given the merfolk's constitution, the ribs would have healed automatically by tomorrow, but Lin Yi felt it was unnecessary; they had the means to do so.

Meanwhile, Da Pan's battle was also coming to an end. With a heavy blow from Da Pan, Chong Shan smashed a large crater in the ground. As the dust settled, Chong Shan lay in the crater, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His greatsword had been broken in two.

Chongshan stood up shakily, one hand clutching his wounded chest, the other hanging limply at his side. He glanced at his group of fallen subordinates, his eyes flashing with malice, and said, "Even if you defeat us, Lord Qianchuan will not let you go. You will not escape the Flower Country."

Lin Yi looked at them disdainfully and said, "We never said we were going to run away, and if we want to leave, you can't stop us."

Chongshan couldn't gauge Lin Yi's strength. If his subordinates were already so powerful, what kind of strength did Lin Yi, who possessed such powerful Conqueror's Haki, have?

Seeing that Chongshan remained silent, Lin Yi felt bored and decided to continue touring the Flower Kingdom with Da Pan and the others. Apart from Chiyo, who was somewhat worried, the others didn't care at all about the threat Chongshan had made.

Just as they were about to leave, a somewhat familiar figure rushed towards them.

"Haha, young friend Lin Yi, I just sensed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki here. I didn't expect it to be you!" the newcomer laughed loudly.

Lin Yi, the "senior green pepper," also smiled.

Green Pepper glanced at the fallen members of the Four Treasures Navy and the seriously injured Chongshan, and said earnestly, "Young friend Lin Yi, what did these people do to offend you? Tell me, and I'll seek justice for you. I still have some influence in the Flower Kingdom."

"It's nothing, these Four Treasures Navy soldiers are here to arrest one of my crew members," Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

"What's going on, Chongshan?" Qingjiao asked Chongshan seriously.

"Brother Green Pepper, it's like this...blah blah blah," Chongshan told Green Pepper the whole story without hiding anything. Green Pepper held a very high position in the Flower Kingdom, not only because of his own strength, but also because he was the leader of a violent group in the Flower Kingdom, and had connections with the king and many other forces. Green Pepper had even taught him when he was young, so he respected Green Pepper very much.

"Young friend Lin Yi, I will handle this matter. I will have Qian Chuan Junyu give you an explanation later. I hope you will not hold their mistakes against me." Since being defeated by Lin Yi, Qingjiao has been very friendly towards Lin Yi.

When "Brother Green Pepper" heard Green Pepper say this, Chongshan became somewhat anxious.

"Hmm? I will personally speak with Qianchuan Junyu about this matter. You don't need to say anything more," Qingjiao said sternly to Chongshan. Chongshan could only step aside and remain silent.

"Senior is joking. This matter was originally caused by Wangyue Qianzong. I have no intention of killing them," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Then thank you very much, young friend Lin Yi. May I ask what brings you to the Flower Country this time?"

"Haha, Senior Green Pepper, have you forgotten? We are traveling adventurers. We came to the Flower Country to experience its customs and culture," Lin Yi laughed.

"I've heard that the Land of Flowers has many unique flowers and all sorts of wonderful architecture."

Green Pepper laughed loudly: "The Flower Country is quite different from other countries. You can experience it for yourself. But if you encounter any trouble while traveling, young friend, feel free to come and find me."

As he spoke, Qingjiao took out an identity token from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the token and looked at Qingjiao with a puzzled expression. Qingjiao explained, "This token is my identity token. It still has some use in the Flower Kingdom. Whether it's entering special places or encountering difficult people, as long as I show this token, I can resolve many issues."

Lin Yi accepted the token, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, senior. I am deeply grateful."

Green Pepper then warmly invited, "Young friend Lin Yi, if you have time, you are welcome to visit my Violent Group family. We can even exchange some pointers then."

Lin Yi readily agreed: "I cannot refuse your kind invitation, senior. I will certainly go and pay you a visit."

Afterwards, Green Pepper had his men help up the unconscious pirates from the Four Treasures Navy and then left with them.

Green Pepper originally wanted to arrange for his subordinates to take Lin Yi and the others to various parts of the Flower Country for sightseeing, but Lin Yi refused. With Chiyo there, what need was there for a tour guide?

Qingjiao led Chongshan and his group to Qianchuan Mansion.

After handing them over to Qianchuan Junyu, he said, "Qianchuan, Lin Yi and his men are not someone you can handle. His strength is far more terrifying than you imagine. Even I was defeated by him. You are not allowed to attack them again. If your foolishness causes the Flower Kingdom to attract such a powerful enemy, I will kill you myself."

After saying that, Qingjiao didn't even look at Qianchuan Junyu's ugly expression, and turned to leave. He believed that Qianchuan Junyu would understand what he meant.

Qian Chuan Junyu, who was originally prepared to greet her with a smile, was unexpectedly sprayed with spit as soon as they met.

Watching the departing green pepper, Qianchuan Junyu angrily asked Chongshan, "What exactly happened?"

Chongshan had no choice but to endure the pain and tell Qianchuan about the battle with Da Pan and the others, focusing on Lin Yi's Conqueror's Haki.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? It's Conqueror's Haki, which only one in a million possesses?" Qianchuan asked, somewhat incredulous.

“I’m sure. I’ve seen Brother Green Pepper’s Conqueror’s Haki before. It’s the same kind of pressure. I can’t be wrong. And Brother Green Pepper has confirmed it as well,” Chongshan said with certainty.

Qian Chuan Junyu's expression was uncertain. Although he was one of the most powerful nobles in the Flower Kingdom and held a high position, his only armed force was the Four Treasures Navy. Now that the Four Treasures Navy had been defeated, it would be unwise for him to continue provoking Lin Yi and his group for the sake of a woman.

"Fine, you should go and heal your wounds first," Qian Chuan Junyu finally decided to back down. Although he had lost face, it was better than losing his life. The most important thing was the threat from Qingjiao. Otherwise, he would not have let go of these disrespectful outsiders so easily. So what if they were strong? He was still a nobleman.

If he couldn't get revenge on Lin Yi, couldn't he at least get revenge on Mochizuki Senmune? If it weren't for that damned, lowly cook, how could he have lost face?

It's easy to imagine that Mochizuki Senmune's future will be tough, but as the old saying goes, every wicked person has their own wicked counterpart.

Chapter 20 The Ownership of the Cloud Fruit

Next, Lin Yi and his group spent the whole day having fun in the Flower Kingdom, eating a lot of famous local delicacies, visiting many famous scenic spots, and even touring some nobles' private territories. This was all thanks to Green Pepper's token, as the nobles who saw the token respectfully welcomed them in and treated them to good food and drink.

That evening, they found a hotel with a hot spring and stayed there, enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot spring.

In Lin Yi's room, Lin Yi called over a few of his friends, and the group sat together.

"Brother, what did you call us here for?" Da Pan asked.

"Is it because we're getting something good again?" Felina asked expectantly.

The others also looked at him with great interest. Having known Lin Yi for so long, they knew that he would bring out good things for them every now and then. Although they didn't know where Lin Yi got them from, they were all discerning enough not to ask.

"Don't rush, I've got something good," Lin Yi said mysteriously.

"Brother Lin Yi, stop being so mysterious and just show it to me already," Felina said, shaking Lin Yi's arm.

Lin Yi smiled and snapped his fingers, and a white, pear-shaped fruit with mysterious patterns appeared on the table. It was the Nature-type Cloud Fruit he had obtained from signing in at the Flower Kingdom.

"Devil Fruit!" they all exclaimed in unison.

"Brother, what kind of power does this fruit possess?" Da Pan asked.

"Guess?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"You said it yourself, it's a good thing. This fruit is either a Logia-type or a Mythical Zoan-type," Fiona said calmly.

"Smart, this is a Logia-type Devil Fruit. What are your thoughts on this Devil Fruit?" Lin Yi asked the group.

Dota and Simon shook their heads. They were fish-men, and eating a Devil Fruit meant they couldn't swim, which was unacceptable to fish-men, so they had no idea about it.

Chiyo had only been with the group for a short time, so although the Devil Fruit was incredibly precious, she had no interest in it.

Da Pan, however, didn't care. He knew that if something was suitable for him, his elder brother would give it to him directly instead of making everyone decide.

Only Filina and Fiona are suitable for this fruit. Fiona is quite strong, and she wants to become a pure swordsman. This Devil Fruit is dispensable to her, so she turned her attention to Filina.

Filina wasn't very focused on cultivation, so her strength hadn't improved much. Eating this Cloud Fruit would allow her strength to increase rapidly, and Lin Yi intentionally had her eat this fruit.

“Felina, it’s more suitable for you to eat this fruit. However, people who eat Devil Fruits will be hated by the sea and lose their ability to swim. They will also be countered by Seastone. Do you want to eat it?” Lin Yi said to Felina.

After thinking it over, Felina finally decided to eat the Cloud Fruit. Lin Yi and the others were getting stronger and stronger, and if she was still so weak, she would soon fall behind them. At the very least, she couldn't become a burden to her brother Lin Yi.

She picked up the pear-shaped Devil Fruit and took a bite. Her pretty face immediately contorted into a bitter grimace. The taste was indescribable, like the stench of a neglected outhouse that hadn't been cleaned in years. Just as she was about to spit it out, Lin Yi's voice rang out, "Don't spit it out, it'll be useless if you do."

Filina had no choice but to endure the nausea and, with a death wish, stretch her neck and swallow it down.

Lin Yi quickly picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Felina.

After receiving it, Felina rinsed her mouth thoroughly and drank a large glass of water before weakly saying, "I'm alive again."
