One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yi flashed forward like lightning, his black blade slashing towards Kaido's abdomen with overwhelming force. A muffled "thud" rang out as the black blade pierced through Kaido's iron-hard body without resistance, leaving a shockingly large hole in his abdomen, along with Lin Yi's own body.

Suffering such a severe blow, Kaido couldn't help but groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He knew he was already seriously injured, and if he continued to fight, his chances of survival would be slim. So, enduring the excruciating pain, he dared not linger for even a moment, his body transforming into a streak of light as he flew straight into the sky, disappearing from Lin Yi's sight in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 34: Harvest, Fame Spreads to the New World

Lin Yi, longsword in hand, hovered silently in the air, motionless like a statue. His gaze was fixed on Kaido's massive figure as it receded into the distance, but he made no attempt to continue the pursuit. This was not because he was afraid or timid, but for two important reasons.

Firstly, although Kaido was already seriously injured, Lin Yi knew that with Kaido's abnormal physical condition, this injury was not fatal to him. Lin Yi was currently lacking an absolute means to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

Secondly, after this fierce battle, he urgently needed time to sort out and summarize the various gains he had made from it.

He slowly closed his eyes and began to carefully savor the last sword strike he had just unleashed deep in his mind.

As his memories resurfaced, that unique sense of touch and power surged back into his heart. He could almost clearly feel the flow of every wisp of sword energy, every burst of power, and the wondrous changes that occurred when they intertwined and merged. Gradually, a completely new understanding quietly sprouted within him.

Unconsciously, Lin Yi's right hand, which held the sword, began to move slightly. Although the movement seemed slow and gentle, it contained an invincible and sharp aura. It was as if what he held in his hand was not a sword, but a divine weapon capable of cutting through everything in the world.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's eyes snapped open! Two beams of light shot from his pupils, and at the same time, the black longsword in his hand swung forward with lightning speed! In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, as if the entire sky had been cleaved in two! The previously turbulent sea below instantly split apart, revealing a massive chasm hundreds of meters deep. This chasm began beneath Lin Yi's feet and stretched for thousands of meters until it completely disappeared from sight.

Lin Yi stared at the direction where the figure had vanished, then grinned and laughed heartily, "Haha!" Who could have imagined? He had actually broken through to the Great Swordsman realm so directly! Originally, he had always thought that only through fierce battles with swordsmen of the same level could he achieve such a major breakthrough. However, the reality was beyond his expectations.

Recalling the thrilling battle, Lin Yi was filled with emotion. Facing the immensely powerful Kaido, neither his Haki nor his spatial manipulation attacks had inflicted significant damage. At that moment, his heart was filled with resentment and anger. But then, the long-suppressed sword intent surged within him like an unstoppable torrent, making him unable to suppress the urge to draw his sword. Without hesitation, he delivered that final strike.

This single sword strike propelled him to the level of a Great Swordsman, a truly unexpected gain.

When the system panel appeared, his grin widened even further.

Not bad, not bad at all, really very good.

He's broken through to the level of a great swordsman, his Haki usage has become much more proficient, and his strength has reached a new level. Haha, next time I see Kaido, I won't let him escape so easily.

You can speak a little louder when you say you don't eat beef.

In a good mood, Lin Yi returned to the Silver Dragon and was not surprised to see Aokiji still there.

"Brother Lin Yi, are you alright?" Felina asked with concern, her beautiful eyes filled with deep worry. Chiyo and Fiona, standing to the side, also quickly turned their gazes towards her, their eyes equally filled with concern.

"That's incredible! Captain, you're a true hero to us!" Dota and Simon exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with boundless respect and admiration as they looked at Lin Yi.

"Haha, I knew it all along! How could that hideous loach possibly be a match for you, brother? In my heart, you are always invincible!" Da Pan excitedly raised his head, his face beaming with pride and joy.

Hearing these caring words from his friends, Lin Yi felt a warm current surge through his heart, enveloped in a cozy atmosphere. A slight smile played on his lips as he feigned modesty, saying, "Oh dear, it's really just so-so. That guy Kaido is indeed formidable, but compared to me, he's still a little bit inferior." He then waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned about the victory. However, his barely concealed joy revealed his genuine pride in defeating Kaido.

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, they all burst into laughter.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "How can such a joyous and festive moment be complete without a grand banquet? My dear friends, let's start this carnival together and celebrate to our hearts' content!" His voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the entire venue.

Hearing Lin Yi's call, the others responded excitedly, "Yes, Captain!" Before they finished speaking, they quickly got to work, busily preparing everything needed for the banquet and setting up the venue.

Lin Yi turned around, his gaze falling on Aokiji, who had been standing quietly to the side. He asked with a smile, "Mr. Aokiji, would you be interested in staying and joining us for this lively banquet? I believe it will be an unforgettable experience."

Aokiji's usually calm and collected face was now filled with an indescribable complexity as his gaze was fixed on the boy before him, whose face still bore a hint of youthful innocence. As a seasoned and knowledgeable naval admiral, Aokiji considered himself to have encountered many so-called geniuses. He himself was hailed as a "monster" within the Navy. However, this boy named Lin Yi standing before him at this moment made him realize for the first time in his life what true prodigy was.

This young man is still very young, yet his strength has already reached the pinnacle of the world, a level that countless others can only dream of! Such an unbelievable rate of growth is truly astonishing, even instilling a deep sense of despair in some. It seems that no matter how hard others try to catch up, they will never be able to reach the heights Lin Yi has attained.

"No, Lin Yi, my mission to find you this time is complete. I need to get to the New World as soon as possible to take up my post. Let's part ways here," Aokiji shook his head and refused. He wasn't lying. The situation in the New World was becoming increasingly chaotic. When Lin Yi was fighting Kaido, Sengoku had already called to urge him to set off as soon as possible. However, because it concerned the battle with Kaido, he stayed to watch after reporting to Sengoku.

Lin Yi did not insist and gestured for Aokiji to do as he pleased.

As Aokiji disembarked, he turned to look at Lin Yi and said earnestly, "Lin Yi, you are very strong. I hope you will seriously consider joining the Navy. If it's you, perhaps you can change some things. If you really don't want to, I don't want you to join the pirates."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. I'm not interested in becoming a pirate, and I also despise pirates."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji smiled across his resolute face. "I look forward to seeing you in the new world."

"Yes," Lin Yi said.

Aokiji jumped off the Silver Dragon with his bicycle, landing steadily on the ice surface he had created with his abilities, and slowly rode away.

Soon, cheerful laughter filled the Silver Dragon.

Aokiji rode on the sea for a while and arrived at a waiting warship. After resting for a bit, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

After a series of "blur" sounds, the Den Den Mushi was connected, and a face with glasses and an explosive hairstyle appeared on the Den Den Mushi.

"Aokiji, is the battle over? What was the result?" Sengoku asked.

Aokiji gave Sengoku a detailed report on everything from his battle with Lin Yi to Lin Yi's sword piercing Kaido.

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had severely injured Kaido with a single sword strike and successfully advanced to the Great Sword Master realm, he could no longer remain calm and jumped up from his seat, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"You...you're sure you're not mistaken? You mean that Lin Yi could fight you to a standstill just by relying on his own Haki, and even defeated the incredibly powerful Kaido in the end, and used that to break through to the level of a Great Swordsman? How is that possible!" His eyes widened, his words filled with disbelief.

However, Aokiji simply nodded expressionlessly and replied calmly, "That's right, that's the truth. I witnessed it with my own eyes, and the strength Lin Yi displayed was truly astonishing."

Sengoku calmed himself down and asked again, "Can you confirm what kind of Devil Fruit user he is?"

Aokiji pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics, but it must be related to spatial abilities. In the battle, he only used teleportation and intangibility. Teleportation is a displacement ability that even Observation Haki can't detect; it allows him to arrive at another location in an instant without leaving a trace. Lin Yi only used intangibility once; attacks pass through his body but cannot cause damage, similar to the elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruits, but Haki attacks cannot reach him either."

Sengoku fell silent again on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. His powerful aura, strange spatial abilities, and swordsmanship at the Great Sword Master level—any one of these abilities would make him a powerful overlord. The fact that all three were in one person was undoubtedly a force capable of changing the world's landscape.

"What is his opinion on the navy?" Sengoku asked.

He didn't want to join the Navy.

"What? Does he want to become a pirate?" Sengoku exclaimed angrily.

Aokiji shook his head and said, "He said he's not interested in becoming a pirate, and even hates pirates. He said he just wants to be a free seafaring adventurer."

Upon hearing that Lin Yi wouldn't become a pirate, Sengoku felt relieved. He said, "That's fine for now, ignore him. Get to the New World as soon as possible. The Big Mom Pirates have been getting increasingly active lately, and Sakazuki is starting to struggle to manage them. Also, write up a report on your operation."

"Yes, Marshal." Aokiji hung up the phone, called his adjutant, and handed him the task of writing the report. Then he pulled over a deck chair, pulled off his eye mask, and started sunbathing.

The adjutant glanced helplessly at his superior and had no choice but to obediently go and write the report. Fortunately, his ship wasn't too far away, and he could see the battle clearly through binoculars. However, he needed Admiral Aokiji to fill in some details, which he would have to ask later.

Unfortunately, this earth-shattering battle was captured on camera by Newsbird, a crew member of news mogul Morgans.

On the vast and mysterious ocean of the New World, there is an inconspicuous little island. At this moment, Morgans, the owner of the largest newspaper in the pirate world, Morgans Daily, is standing on a high point on this island. His bird-like face, which resembles an albatross, is flushed with excitement, and his eyes are wide open like copper bells, staring intently at a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that is recording images in his hand.

The tiny Den Den Mushi shimmered with an eerie light, as if conveying some crucial information. Morgans' breathing quickened, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he paid no attention to these signs, gripping the Den Den Mushi tightly as if afraid it would suddenly disappear.

"Breaking news! Absolutely breaking news! Hahahaha..." Finally, Morgans could no longer contain his elation and burst into laughter like a madman in a frenzy. His laughter echoed across the empty island, startling a flock of birds perched in nearby trees.

"This issue's news will definitely cause a huge uproar and shock the whole world! My Morgans Daily will once again ignite the world!" Morgans muttered to himself, gesturing wildly as if he could already see his newspapers being snapped up.

Then, Morgans picked up a pen and began to write on paper, intending to polish this issue of the newspaper.

Three days later, a newspaper spread throughout the entire pirate world.

At the same time, the sudden emergence of an extremely powerful figure, Lin Yi, also became known to various forces. As someone who fought to a draw with Aokiji, one of the three new admirals of the Navy, and defeated Kaido of the Beasts, Lin Yi was called "Sky Master" by Morgans.

As for why it's described as a draw rather than a defeat, one reason is that the Navy found Morgans and asked him to write it that way. Morgans, unable to resist the Navy's pressure, gave in. However, the fact is that Kaido's sudden appearance interrupted the battle between Lin Yi and Aokiji, so writing it this way is not wrong.

In short, Lin Yi has become completely famous this time. Of course, Da Pan has also become famous.

Chapter 35 Reactions from all parties

Wano Country, the base of the Beasts Pirates. Kaido, his abdomen wrapped in thick bandages, was heartily devouring grilled meat. His left hand instinctively reached for his sake gourd, but found nothing. With a bitter expression, he said to King, the Wildfire, beside him, "King, it's been three days. I'm almost healed. Bring out the sake."

"No, not a single drop," Jin the Blaze said mercilessly.

Kaido wanted to get angry after hearing this, but he was too badly injured to do so. He also knew that King was doing it for his own good, so he could only turn his grief and anger into strength and tear at the huge chunk of flesh in his hand.

It turns out that after Kaido was seriously injured and escaped by Lin Yi that day, he flew back to the Flower Country with his wounded body.

That day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. Kaido streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily onto the Beasts Pirates' encampment, kicking up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, everyone could see clearly that it was Kaido, heavily wounded! His massive body looked rather disheveled, his clothes stained crimson with blood, a shocking sight.

The pirates in the crew were completely stunned by what they saw, their mouths agape. In their minds, Kaido had always been an invincible, terrifyingly powerful figure. How could they not be astonished to see their once-unrivaled captain return in such a wretched state?

The crowd quickly gathered around, asking with concern what had happened. Kaido, in a weak but still authoritative voice, briefly recounted what had transpired. When they heard that their invincible captain had actually been defeated by a mere boy, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the hot-blooded young Jack flew into a rage, his anger reaching its peak. "What? Boss, you actually lost to a brat! I'm going to settle the score with him right now and show him what I'm made of!" With that, he grabbed his weapon, ready to set off.

Just then, King, the Wildfire, reached out and stopped the impulsive Jack. "Don't be reckless! With your skills, you'll just be throwing your life away. You brat, you should train properly first!" King's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Jack's head, instantly calming him down. Although he was still unwilling, he understood that there was a huge difference in strength between him and his opponent, and that acting rashly would only bring him trouble.

King, the Wildfire, anxiously summoned a doctor. Upon arrival, the doctor immediately began a thorough examination and treatment of the severely wounded Kaido. After a period of intense work, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief and told King, "Currently, Lord Kaido is not in mortal danger. Lord Kaido has a special physique; his wounds have begun to heal automatically. However, there is a strange energy at the wound site, so the healing process is not fast. I will try to remove this energy, but Lord Kaido must not drink alcohol during this time."

Knowing Kaido's insatiable thirst for alcohol, King the Wildfire understood that getting his hot-tempered boss to quit drinking and recuperate would be no easy task. Left with no other option, he decided to personally stay by Kaido's side, constantly monitoring him to prevent him from breaking his vow of abstinence. And so began King the Wildfire's days of protecting Kaido without ever leaving his side.

Just then, a slightly thin henchman, clutching a newspaper still smelling of ink, hurried into the room. Without daring to delay, he went straight to King the Blaze, respectfully handed him the newspaper, and then quickly turned and left the room.

After taking the newspaper, King the Wildfire's eyes were immediately drawn to the front page headline. As he read on, his expression grew increasingly grim, like the oppressive, heavy sky before an impending storm. The contents of this newspaper were, without a doubt, a blatant provocation against the Beasts Pirates! Every line of text, every picture, was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight to the heart of the Beasts Pirates.

At the same time, these malicious and defamatory words and images inevitably brought a great negative impact on the reputation of the Beasts Pirates. Those names that once struck fear into the hearts of the world are now shrouded in shadow because of this report, causing the outside world's evaluation of the Beasts Pirates to plummet.

Kaido, who had been observing King's reaction, noticed his extremely grim expression. A sense of unease arose in his heart, and he asked, "King, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"

King the Wildfire handed the newspaper to Kaido, saying coldly, "That Morgans guy is practically asking for death. He openly slandered you, Boss, yet he wrote that that damned Marine Admiral fought to a draw with that Lin Yi. He's utterly despicable."
