One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Lin Yi helped them up and said, "Everyone, get up. I just happened to save you. Now I'll take you out."

When everyone came outside, Da Pan's battle had ended. The pirates were either dead or crippled. Half of the hundred or so pirates had lost their lives, and the rest were clutching their wounds and howling in agony.

Although Nudi, who had been given a new lease on life, was somewhat frightened by what he saw, he felt more of the thrill of revenge.

"Da Pan, are you alright?" Although he knew that Da Pan was unlikely to be injured due to his strength, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, big brother, these pirates aren't very strong, but one of them awakened Observation Haki and almost got ambushed," Da Pan said dismissively.

"That's good." He didn't care about the pirates who had awakened Observation Haki.

"Brother, who are these people?" Da Pan asked, pointing to the group of people who had been rescued behind Lin Yi.

"These pirates aren't ordinary pirates; they're a group of slave traders. These people were captured by them," Lin Yi explained to Da Pan, then asked the rescued people.

Do you know where we are in the sea right now?

“My lord, the sea we are in should be in the Western Sea,” a young woman replied.

"Oh, do you know the direction of the nearest island to us?" Lin Yi asked again.

Most people shook their heads and said they didn't know. They had been locked in iron cages in the hold after being captured, so they had no idea where the ship was sailing to.

Just as Lin Yi was feeling disappointed, a weak voice rang out, "I know. Heading east, at the speed of this pirate ship, we should be able to reach the largest island in the West Sea, Baluti Town, in two days."

Lin Yi looked over and saw that the one who spoke was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. At this moment, she was shyly hiding behind a woman with a face almost identical to hers, looking at Lin Yi.

"Haha, little girl, how did you know?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Tch, you look younger than me," the girl said defiantly, but she still answered Lin Yi's question afterward.

"We were captured on Qinghe Island. I once heard them say that they were going to take us to the Kingdom of Baliha and sell us to those nobles. Seven days have passed since we were captured. At the speed of this ship, it would only take us two days to reach Baluti Island if we sailed east from this sea area."

"Impressive! Has this young lady studied navigation?" Lin Yi praised.

"I've studied it! I even served as a navigator for our country's merchant fleet!" The girl initially spoke with pride, but then added sadly, "But my parents were killed by that bastard, sob sob."

The woman next to her, who looked exactly like her, turned around and hugged her, her face also filled with sorrow.

Lin Yi wasn't very good at comforting people. He sighed softly, turned around, and ordered the two fishmen and Da Pan to throw the dead pirates into the sea. He instructed Da Pan to lock the remaining wounded pirates in the bottom hold cages. As for treating them, forget about it. Xiong Li, on the other hand, was thinking. This guy was a Devil Fruit user, and his bounty was probably quite high. He planned to sell it for money, since he was dirt poor.

Those who were rescued were assigned to either clean the deck or cook. Although they didn't have a professional chef, they could still cook a meal.

After settling everything, he found the captain's cabin. Despite Xiong Li's burly appearance, the room was quite clean. He searched through it and found not much money—around 30 million Berries—and a box of jewelry and gold, though he didn't know their exact value. He was unfamiliar with many things in this world.

"Tsk, this bastard is worth quite a bit." He found Xiong Li's bounty poster, 4300 million Berries.

"Found it!" Lin Yi's face lit up with joy. He was mainly looking for nautical charts; he was fed up with sailing aimlessly at sea. But he still needed to find a navigator. Wasn't there one readily available on the ship? Hehe.

He found the two sisters busy on the deck with the nautical chart in hand.

"Come with me for a moment," Lin Yi said, leading them directly to the stern of the ship.

The two women he was pulling looked completely bewildered.

"Excuse me, I don't know your names yet," Lin Yi asked somewhat awkwardly.

“My name is Delos Fiona, and this is my sister, Delos Filina,” said the girl with a rather aloof expression.

"What do you need us for?" Felina, the younger sister, asked curiously.

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Huaxia Lin Yi, and I'm currently a travel adventurer. I'd like to invite you to join our ship as our navigators. I wonder if you'd be willing?" Lin Yi asked expectantly.

The younger sister, Felina, was clearly tempted; she looked at her older sister.

Fiona frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Can I trust you, Mr. Lin Yi?"

"certainly"

"Alright, Mr. Lin Yi, I'll leave my sister in your care. As for me, I'm sorry I can't board the ship with you; I have more important matters to attend to."

"Why, sister? If you don't stay, I won't stay either. I want to stay with you," Felina cried as she hugged her sister.

"Fiona, listen to me. You're too weak. I'm going to kill that person. If you come with me, you'll only drag me down," Fiona said cruelly.

"But...but I..."

“Miss Fiona, could you tell me who your enemy is? Perhaps I can help,” Lin Yi said from the side.

"Yes, yes, sister, Lin Yi is so amazing, he even defeated Xiong Li, he can definitely help us."

Fiona shook her head and said to Lin Yi, "Our enemy is now the King of the Kingdom of Augusta. If you help us, you will be wanted by the World Government, and then you won't be able to be an adventurer anymore."

"You underestimate me. Once you become my partners, killing a king is nothing. Besides, who says you have to kill him openly? As long as you don't get caught, it's fine. You can rest assured about my strength. Now, can you tell me about your affairs?" Lin Yi laughed. With his spatial abilities, killing a weak king without anyone noticing would be a piece of cake.

Fiona thought for a moment, and perhaps Lin Yi really had a solution, so she began to recount their experiences.

It turns out that the sisters were the daughters of the commander of the Augusta Kingdom's guard. Although they were twin sisters, their personalities were completely different. The older sister loved swordsmanship since she was a child and had been learning swordsmanship from her father, while the younger sister loved reading nautical stories. She longed for the freedom of the sea, so she read a lot about navigation. Because of her father, she went to sea several times with the country's merchant fleet. She was living a very happy life until a man named Dogra came to their country.

He wanted the King to join the Revolutionary Army, but the King refused. However, this was discovered by Gilbert, one of the King's ministers, who reported the King to the World Government, saying that the King wanted to break away from the World Government and join the Revolutionary Army.

The World Government dispatched the CP organization to investigate, which discovered that the King had indeed met with the leader of the Revolutionary Army. As a result, the entire royal family was killed, and Minister Gilbert became the new King.

Their father, being close to the king, was constantly resented by the new king, who then executed his parents on charges of treason. Before being arrested, his father secretly sent them away.

They fled from pursuers until they encountered the Xiong Li Pirates on Qinghe Island and were captured.

After hearing this, Lin Yi felt sympathy for their plight.

"It's alright. From now on, Da Pan and I will be your support. Once we reach Baluti Town, we'll change to another boat and set off to avenge you," Lin Yi comforted him.

"By the way, is there a naval branch in Baluti Town?"

"some"

"That's good. Let's go eat." Lin Yi was really hungry. He hadn't had a proper meal after sailing at sea for so long.

Seeing Lin Yi's anxious expression, the Fiona sisters chuckled softly. This captain seemed quite interesting.

Chapter 5 Dream Exploration Trip Adventure Team

After that conversation, the Delos sisters seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and returned to their original personalities. Fiona resumed her previous training, and the intensity of her training was astonishing.

Meanwhile, Philina directed the navigation from the cockpit. One of the two fishmen was assigned by her to be a lookout in the watchtower, and the other was put in charge of steering.

Looking at the spirited Felina, Lin Yi, who was sunbathing on the deck, couldn't help but find it amusing.

"What an energetic young girl. But perhaps we can also bring those two mermen onto the boat. After all, it takes manpower to operate a boat, and mermen are indeed physically strong," Lin Yi thought.

These two fish-men, Simon and Dota, fled from Fish-Man Island to the West Blue. They said that when they first came out, they had a dozen or so fish-men who formed a pirate crew, but they soon encountered a powerful enemy and lost many of their brothers on the Grand Line. The remaining fish-men scattered and fled, eventually reaching a deserted island in the West Blue. After living there for a while, they encountered Kumaru, who was resting on the island. Although they were not weak, they were no match for Kumaru. In addition, there was a gunman with Observation Haki, so they were captured before they could escape.

Two days passed in a flash, and nothing unexpected happened during that time.

"Lord Lin Yi, the port has been discovered!" shouted the fishman Dota, who was on lookout duty.

They finally arrived. To be honest, a long sea voyage can be uncomfortable. What's more, he had been adrift on a small boat for more than half a month.

Meanwhile, the navy guarding the harbor spotted Lin Yi's ship. He immediately sounded the alarm, and soon a middle-aged navy man led a group of sailors to the scene.

"What's going on?" the middle-aged naval officer asked directly.

The patrolling navy officer saluted and shouted, "Reporting, Lieutenant Commander Rad, the Black Bear Pirates' ship has been spotted approaching the port, but their flag has not been detected. Should we fire?"

Major Rad's expression was grave. Kumaru, the captain of the Black Bear Pirates, was no ordinary man; a major battle might break out today. He was also puzzled as to why the Black Bear Pirates weren't flying their pirate flag. A pirate flag was a pirate's name and symbol, something they would risk their lives to protect, and now it was gone.

He said to his deputy beside him, "Send someone to inform Colonel Focke about the situation and request backup."

In any case, Colonel Focke must be prepared.

He himself was prepared to risk his life to stop the pirates.

He was about to order the shelling when a sound came from the bed opposite.

"Brothers in the navy, we are an adventure team. The Kumari Pirates have been wiped out by us. Please do not fire." Although Lin Yi was not afraid of cannonballs, things would become complicated once the cannons were fired.

"How can you prove that?" Major Rad shouted.

Lin Yi didn't say much. He wrapped Xiong Li's head in the Black Bear Pirates' flag and threw it towards the navy. The navy on the shore was so frightened that they almost raised their guns to fire, but when they saw Xiong Li's head rolling out of the flag, they all gasped in surprise.

"Phew, that's really Xiong Li."

"It really is him! I heard his bounty is a whopping 4300 million Berries. That kid is amazing!"

"It is said that Kumaru's strength is more than 4300 million Berries. He is a legendary Devil Fruit user and has even defeated a Marine lieutenant commander."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Major Rad, seeing the head, was relieved. He waved for the navy to withdraw their weapons and allow Lin Yi and his crew to dock.

As soon as Lin Yi and Da Pan and the others disembarked from the ship, Major Rad and his men approached them.

"Hello, my name is Rad, I'm a lieutenant commander in the naval patrol force. May I ask how I should address this young man?"

"Haha, hello Major Rad, my name is Huaxia Lin Yi, and these are my partners. This is Da Pan, and these are Fiona and Filina," Lin Yi introduced.

"It's truly astonishing that you, at such a young age, were able to annihilate the Kumari Pirates. One has to admire your skill."

"It was just luck. By the way, Major Rad, the Black Bear Pirates aren't your average pirate crew. When we wiped them out, we also found over two hundred captured civilians. We can't send them back home ourselves, so we'll have to trouble the Navy."

“No problem, this is our navy’s responsibility,” Rad said.

"That's great, thank you, Major Rad." With a major problem resolved, Lin Yi was in high spirits.

"Rad, are you dead yet? Where's the Black Bear Pirates?" A loud shout came from the other end of the tunnel. It was Colonel Focke who had rushed over after receiving the news.

Colonel Falkfield was a tall and imposing man, standing at a height of 3.45 meters. He was wearing a naval officer's cloak of justice and charged forward like a ferocious beast.

Seeing this, Major Rad quickly stepped in front of Lin Yi and said, "Colonel Fokker, it's a misunderstanding. The Black Bear Pirates have already been wiped out by this young man, Lin Yi. Look, that's Xiong Li's head."

"Haha, I knew it! How dare that brat Xiong Li attack my territory? Kid, you're not that old, are you? Tell me, how did you kill Xiong Li?" Fu Kefa looked Lin Yi up and down and asked suspiciously. Xiong Li was no weakling that could be killed so easily; even he would have to put in some effort.

"Colonel Fokker, hello. Xiong Li probably underestimated me because I'm young, so I caught him off guard and killed him," Lin Yi explained simply. Of course, he couldn't say that Xiong Li was instantly killed by him; that would be unbelievable for a teenager. As for whether Fokker believed the reason or not, he didn't care much.

Fokfa gave Lin Yi a deep look but said nothing. Major Rad then reported the Black Bear Pirates' misdeeds to Fokfa.

After a moment's thought, Fokker said, "Major Rad, make proper accommodations for those civilians first. I'll arrange for them to be escorted back later."

"Um, Colonel Fokker, can I claim Xiong Li's bounty?" Lin Yi asked.

“Of course, you’ll come with me to the branch to settle the accounts.” Fokfa didn’t make things difficult for him and readily agreed.

“Okay, I’ll make arrangements for my partner first, and I’ll come to the branch to find you later,” Lin Yi said.

Fokfa nodded without saying much and left with his men. Meanwhile, Rad had already gone ahead to deal with the food and lodging issues of the civilians.

Lin Yi led the group to a quiet place and called over the fishman brothers.

He turned to Simon and Dote and asked, "What are your plans next?"
