One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Dota and Simon shook their heads in confusion. Their merfolk identity meant they would inevitably attract a lot of prying eyes in human cities, since merfolk were quite valuable in the slave market.

"Why don't you join us? We're a group that focuses on travel and adventure. After we've traveled the world, we'll head to the Grand Line for an adventure. When we pass Fishman Island, you can decide whether to continue with us or go back to Fishman Island. What do you say?" Lin Yi persuaded.

Without much hesitation, Dota Simon nodded in agreement, "Yes, Captain."

"Haha, let's go, I'll take you out for a big meal to celebrate having two more partners," Lin Yi generously declared, adding that Captain Lin would cover all the expenses for today.

"Yay, a big meal!" Da Pan was undoubtedly the most excited about the big meal.

Fiona and Felina watched the excited Da Pan with smiles. Da Pan was quite adorable, especially Felina, who loved to hug him and rub his fluffy face against him.

They found a nice restaurant, and as soon as they entered, a waiter greeted them. He paused for a moment when he saw the two fish-men, Duotai, but quickly recovered and asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat, esteemed guests?"

"Bring ten of your best dishes, enough for twenty people," Lin Yi said. Everyone in their group except for Felina was a big eater, and even Fiona was.

"Okay, sir, this way please. Your food will be ready soon." The waiter led them to an empty table and then went to place their order.

Not long after everyone was seated, large portions of meat dishes were served.

Da Pan couldn't resist and picked up a leg of lamb to eat.

"Delicious, delicious, even better than the meat my older brother grills!"

"Even food can't shut you up. Is it the same whether there's seasoning or not?" Lin Yi gave Da Pan a hard slap, almost choking him to death.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone patted their round bellies and leaned back in their chairs.

"By the way, Captain, what's the name of our adventure team?" Philina asked.

"Um... I haven't picked it up yet. How about you guys pick one up for me?" Lin Yi said somewhat awkwardly.

Everyone stared at him speechlessly.

"How about we call it the Navigator's Adventure Tour?" Felina asked expectantly.

"Not very good," everyone said in unison.

"Call the giant panda and his 500 warriors!" Da Pan shouted excitedly.

"No," Lin Yi rejected.

Lin Yi sighed, "They're all terrible at naming things."

“We are a group of adventurers who travel for our dreams, so let’s call ourselves the Dream Exploration Travel Adventure Team,” Lin Yi said.

"Can"

"agree"

"I still think 'The Panda and His 500 Warriors' sounds better," Da Pan insisted, but was ignored by everyone.

"Come on, let's toast to the establishment of our Dream Exploration Tour Group!" Lin Yi shouted, raising his glass.

"cheers"

And so, in a restaurant, a group made up of dreams was born.

Chapter 6 The New Ship, Travel

In the afternoon, Lin Yi parted ways with his companions. Fiona and the others went to find a hotel and inquire about the shipyard in Baluti Town, while he went to the Navy Branch alone.

The naval guards seemed to have been notified beforehand and took Lin Yi directly to Captain Fokker's office. Inside, Fokker was processing documents, and a young naval officer was waiting nearby.

"Wait a moment, I'll finish reading this document." Colonel Focke seemed quite busy. When he saw Lin Yi come in, he simply greeted him and told Lin Yi to find a place to sit.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Fokfa finally finished signing the document, handed it to the young navy man next to him, and signaled that he could leave. Only after the young man left did Fokfa look at Lin Yi again.

"Lin Yi, you've found me a really great job!"

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi realized that Fokfa was referring to the civilians who had been arrested.

"The capable should do more work, right? The righteous navy doesn't," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Lin Yi, I heard your full name is Huaxia Lin Yi. The surname Huaxia is not very common. Where are you from?" Fu Kefa ignored Lin Yi's teasing and asked about Lin Yi's identity directly.

Lin Yi naturally wouldn't reveal that he was a time traveler, especially one whose original body returned to his childhood, without any identity or background—that would be utterly absurd. He could only feign amnesia.

"Actually, I don't know where I'm from. I woke up on an unknown island and lost my memory. I lived on that island for five years until recently when I went out to sea with my companion, that panda, in a small boat. Then we encountered the Black Bear Pirates, who bombarded our small boat. After that, you are what you see now."

Such things are not uncommon at sea, and Lin Yi wasn't worried that Falkfar would notice anything. Sure enough, Falkfar didn't pursue the matter further and instead brought up the bounty.

He stated directly, "The bounty for killing Kumaru was 4300 million Berries. Several other captured pirates also had bounties, totaling 1830 million Berries. The total is 6130 million Berries."

After saying that, he handed Lin Yi a small package and a form. The package contained 6130 million Berries, neatly folded.

The form is a receipt for receiving goods, which he needs to sign.

Lin Yi didn't expect any unexpected gains. He took the form, signed his name, but only took the 4300 million for killing Xiong Li.

Fokker looked at him in surprise, and Lin Yi explained, "The rest is a small reward for the navy officers who escorted the civilians home."

"Haha, Lin Yi, you really are an interesting person. By the way, are you interested in joining the Navy? If you do, I can recommend you to study at the Navy Headquarters. With your talent, you might even become an admiral someday," Fokker laughed first, then asked.

Lin Yi shook his head and declined, saying, "Colonel Fokker, thank you for your high regard, but I am only 11 years old. Right now, I only want to travel the world and broaden my horizons, so I can only apologize."

"Oh, that's a real shame. I hope you'll seriously consider it. If you change your mind later, the Navy will always welcome you."

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously. I'll be going now, my partner is waiting for me." Lin Yi got up and prepared to leave.

Fokfa nodded and said nothing more.

After Lin Yi left, Fokker lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he murmured to himself, "I hope you won't go against the Navy in the future."

He has already reported Lin Yi's situation to his superiors, and he still hopes that the Navy will take Lin Yi seriously.

After leaving the naval branch, Lin Yi headed towards the Black Bear pirate ship. He had arranged to meet Fiona and the others there, but when he arrived, they hadn't returned yet, so he began to think about his own strength.

Without a doubt, he is now considered a powerful figure in the pirate world. He learned from Fiona that it is July 1506 in the Sea Calendar. At this time, Shanks has not yet become an emperor, and the three future Marine monsters are only vice admirals. He can fight them to a standstill now, but that is not enough. He wants to live a free and unrestrained life in this world, so he needs to become stronger.

Although his body has been modified by the system, it has already been developed to its limit for this age group, which is why his Armament Haki is still at the intermediate level. So, he can only make breakthroughs in Devil Fruits and swordsmanship.

Simply practicing swordsmanship is no longer enough for him; he needs a sparring match with an evenly matched opponent to gain a clearer understanding of himself and break through to become a great swordsman.

As for the fruit, he is currently trying to compress and seal a space into a small object. In layman's terms, he wants to make some items with storage space. He has a feeling that only by making them himself can he develop the fruit to the awakening stage.

He opened his attribute panel.

Compared to when we first started, apart from the development of the Space Fruit going from 82 to 88, there are basically no other changes.

Looking at the panel, he suddenly felt like he'd forgotten something. "Right, I checked in," he thought, quickly asking the system in his mind.

"Brother Tongzi, Brother Tongzi, I'm checking in."

The system directly asks, "Have you checked in?"

"Um...aren't you supposed to sign it yourself when you get there?"

"Don't you need to clock in for work?"

"I've never had a job," Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.

The system was somewhat silenced, forgetting that this bastard was a third-generation rich kid.

"How do I sign in, Brother Tongzi?" Lin Yi asked.

"Simply recite 'sign in' silently."

"Okay, signing in," Lin Yi readily agreed.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in at Baluti Town. You have received 464 Prosperity Points, one Stretching Fruit with no side effects, and one wireless bullet revolver."

The rewards were decent. Although there weren't any items that would significantly increase his strength, the Devil Fruit and the pistol could be used to enhance his companions' abilities.

The revolver could be given to Filina, given her somewhat lacking strength. As for the Elongation-Elongation Fruit, he had an idea: if Pan's black staff ate the fruit, would it become the Golden Cudgel? By continuously incorporating metal to increase its weight, the staff could become a deadly weapon in Pan's arsenal. Unfortunately, only Vegapunk currently possessed this technology. Perhaps Vinsmoke Judge could also develop it; it seemed necessary to seek him out.

Fiona and the others then returned to the ship.

"Boss, boss, Baluti Town is so much fun! There are so many delicious things here, and their sheep hooves can even play music! It's so much fun!" Before he even arrived, Da Pan's excited voice came through the phone.

Lin Yi smiled as he looked at Da Pan. Da Pan was one of only two relatives he had in this world, the other being Brother Tongzi. Therefore, he had always been very tolerant of Da Pan.

"Any news from the shipyard?" Lin Yi asked.

“Yes, there is a shipyard on the south coast of Baluti Town. It is said to be the best shipyard in the West Sea. I went to take a look, and it is very large. Many nobles have ordered ships there,” Dotai said.

"Alright, let's sail this pirate ship over there now, sell it, and order a ship that suits us." Lin Yi made his decision and decided to get a comfortable medium-sized sailboat.

No one objected to Lin Yi's decision.

The division of labor remained the same: Dotai steered the ship, Simon kept watch, Felina gave orders, Da Pan joked around, Fiona practiced her sword, and Lin Yi lay in the sun, not intending to cultivate for the time being.

Half an hour later, they arrived safely at the only shipyard in Baluti Town, Xiulu Shipyard.

The ship's entry did not cause a commotion, after all, there was a naval branch stationed here, and no pirates could possibly get this far.

As soon as Lin Yi got off the ship, he found the person in charge of the shipyard, an old man with a goatee, who was also the owner of the shipyard, Dick Yali.

Lin Yi explained his purpose, and Dickyli pointed to the Black Bear and said, "This bow ship is a large three-masted sailing vessel. If you want to sell it, I'll offer 3600 million Berries to buy it back."

Lin Yi frowned. The factory price for a typical large three-masted sailboat is 8000 million.
