One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

After killing the pirates, Fiona looked at the merchant ship crew members who were too frightened to utter a sound. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Now that all these pirates are dead, consider the contents of their pirate ship as compensation for you."

Without waiting for their reaction, he flew back to the Silver Dragon on his Snow Drinking Blade.

Upon seeing him return, Felina rushed to greet him, saying admiringly, "Sister, you're so handsome! Just like those chivalrous heroes in Brother Lin Yi's stories!"

Everyone else also praised it.

Fiona smiled, clearly enjoying the compliments from everyone.

This was just a minor incident during the journey. After two days of sailing, the Silver Dragon finally arrived at Cocoaxi Village.

As soon as Fiona stepped into the harbor, she spotted a ship that looked incredibly familiar. Yes! It was the merchant ship that had been ravaged by pirates. At that moment, the people on board were busily unloading cargo into the harbor.

Just then, Lin Yi and his companions also disembarked. Their attention was quickly drawn to the group of workers carrying goods.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man was seen talking quietly to a cute little girl who looked no more than five or six years old. A hint of helplessness was evident in the man's expression, while the little girl looked aggrieved, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

As Lin Yi and the others approached, they clearly heard the middle-aged man's words: "Nami, Uncle really didn't lie to you, I did buy you books. But who could have imagined that those despicable pirates would suddenly attack? In the chaos, they mercilessly threw those books into the sea. How about this, next time we go to sea, Uncle will definitely buy them back for you, okay?"

However, the little girl named Nami clearly didn't believe the middle-aged man's explanation. She pouted and said in a tearful voice, "Uncle Lawrence, you're lying again! You promised to bring me books about navigation when you came back, but now you're telling me the books are gone! I don't believe you!" As she spoke, the little girl's eyes began to redden, tears welling up and threatening to spill over.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly laughed and said gently to Nami, "Haha, little sister, why don't you tell me what kind of books you need? Maybe I have some here."

The two people who were talking looked over, and Nami timidly asked Lin Yi, "Really? Do you have any books on navigation?"

Upon seeing Fiona, the middle-aged man, Lawrence, exclaimed excitedly, "It's you! My benefactor! I never expected you to come to Cocoyasi Village. Things happened so suddenly, I haven't had a chance to properly thank you. Please tell me your name, I, Lawrence, will forever remember your kindness!"

"You're welcome, uncle. I just couldn't stand those pirates. My name is Fiona, this is our captain Lin Yi, and the rest of you are my crew," Fiona said casually.

“Uncle Lawrence, do you know them?” Nami asked.

"Didn't I tell you? I encountered pirates this time. Luckily, I met Miss Fiona and the others, otherwise I might not have made it back," Lawrence said gratefully.

He then respectfully said to Lin Yi and the others, "Please allow me to entertain you; I will present you with my token of gratitude."

"Hospitality is fine, after all, this is your territory, so there's no need for a thank-you gift," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Please don't refuse," Lawrence insisted.

"Alright, then you can arrange some food for us first," Lin Yi said, no longer refusing.

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to make the preparations right away. You can explore Cocoaxi Village for a while, and I’ll come and invite you after I’ve made the arrangements,” Lawrence said, and then he went to make the arrangements.

Nami hasn't left yet; she's still thinking about the book.

Seeing this, Lin Yi picked her up and said to her, "Do you really like nautical books? Do you want to become a navigator?"

Nami, who was being hugged by Lin Yi, said shyly, "Yes, my dream is to draw the most comprehensive nautical chart in the world."

"Oh, that's a truly remarkable dream," Lin Yi exclaimed.

"Big brother, do you really have books on navigation?" Nami asked eagerly.

"I didn't," Lin Yi teased Nami with a mischievous grin.

"Ah..." Nami was a little disappointed.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He pointed to Felina, who was grinning beside him, and said, "I don't have one, but this lady does! And let me tell you, she's the world's most skilled navigator! If you want the book, you'll have to beg this lady properly; maybe she can teach you."

"Really?" Nami looked at Filina with shining eyes.

Filina laughed and said, "I'm not the best navigator, but little Nami, if you want to learn about navigation, I can teach you."

"Really? That's wonderful! I'm going to tell Bellemere and Nojiko this good news!" Nami exclaimed happily.

"Bellmeal, who is Nochigo?" Lin Yi asked knowingly.

“They are my mother and sister. You taught me about navigation, so I can treat you to oranges,” Nami said happily.

"Haha, thank you for your hospitality!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Led by Nami, they arrived at a slightly secluded small house in Cocoyasi Village. The house was not large, with two floors, and there was an orange grove behind it.

"Bellmere, Nojiko, I'm back!" Nami shouted happily.

"Nami, why did you take so long? Did Uncle Lawrence bring the book back?" The voice came from inside the house before the person was even seen.

The door opened, and a girl of about eight or nine years old with short hair came out. When she saw Lin Yi and the others, her little face was full of surprise.

"Hello," Lin Yi greeted with a smile.

"Y-you...hello," Nojiko said somewhat reservedly upon seeing so many people.

"Nojiko, move aside, they are all my guests," Nami said like a little adult.

"Okay...okay, please come in," Nojiko said politely, stepping aside.

"Haha, sorry to bother you. It's my first time visiting. This is just a small gift, nothing special," Lin Yi said, taking out a palm-sized gold brick from his pocket and handing it to Noki. There was nothing he could do; it was the most ordinary thing he had in his spatial storage.

"This...this is too precious, I can't accept it," Noki cried out. "Who would give me gold bricks as a gift? I'm just a child, is this appropriate?"

Nami's eyes practically turned into money; this older brother was so generous.

"Haha, it's okay, I have plenty of these." Lin Yi was very happy to see their surprised expressions; it was too funny.

Da Pan and the others stared speechlessly at their captain. How awful! He even teased a child.

"Alright, you guys take them first. Little Nami, didn't you say you were going to treat us to oranges?" Filina said with a smile.

"Oh dear, I forgot! I'll go get it for you right now!" With that, she ran out, not forgetting to take the gold brick from Noki's hand as she left.

"Hahaha, Nami is such a little money-grubber!" Lin Yi laughed as he watched Nami's actions.

The others also laughed.

Only Nokiko looked at Lin Yi and the others somewhat embarrassed.

Chapter 61 Zoro, the directionally challenged man

About ten minutes after Nami left, she walked in dejectedly with a young woman who had a cigarette in her mouth, wore a green plaid shirt with "MACE" written on it, and had her hair tied in a ponytail.

The woman was also carrying a basket of brightly colored oranges.

The woman came in and handed the gold brick to Lin Yi with both hands, saying, "I'm very sorry, the child is ignorant and accepted such a valuable gift. Please take it back."

"Haha, don't mind, this gift is from me, just accept it. You don't need to feel too burdened. You must be Nami's mother, Bellemere. Nami is a child with a lot of dreams," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Well... alright then, thank you very much." Bellemere finally accepted the gold bricks after Lin Yi's insistence.

Seeing Bellemere accept the gold brick, Nami smiled again. Their lives weren't easy; Bellemere hadn't had a stable income since leaving the Navy, and supporting Nojiko and Nami on her own was incredibly difficult. If it weren't for Ken, their lives would likely be even harder. Sometimes, Nami even thought that perhaps Bellemere and Nojiko would be better off without her.

Nami said happily, "Bellmere, this is Sister Filina. She's an amazing navigator, and she promised to teach me about navigation!"

Bellemere then took a closer look at Lin Yi and his group, finding them increasingly familiar. However, when she saw Da Pan, she was immediately shocked and said in disbelief, "You are the Dream Exploration and Adventure Team with a bounty exceeding 40 billion Berries?"

"Oh, it seems you recognize me," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Bellemere pulled her two daughters behind her, her face grim, and said, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

Nami and Nochiko were somewhat bewildered by the sudden change in atmosphere, and nervously clung to Bellemere's arm.

"Don't be nervous. We're not pirates. We came to Cocoyasi Village just because it's a part of our travel map. Besides, if we had bad intentions, do you think your precautions would be effective?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Bellemere remained vigilant, coldly replying, "Who knows? After all, you are the Void Venerable Lin Yi, with a bounty of 33 billion Berries."

Lin Yi shook his head and said again, "Since you know me, you should know why the Navy has a bounty on my head. We mean you no harm. If you don't welcome us, then we'll leave."

Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, Nami quickly said, "Brother Lin Yi and the others aren't bad people. They even saved Uncle Lawrence."

Upon hearing this, Bellemere asked Nami earnestly, "What's going on?"

Nami told Bellemere about Lawrence's encounter with pirates at sea and how Fiona saved him.

Bellemere's previously tense and wary expression finally relaxed slightly. After all, they had saved Lawrence, and everyone in the Navy knew that Madru deserved to die; although she had left the Navy, she still knew some things.

Then, she raised her head, her face showing a mixture of apology and gratitude, and said to the people in front of her, "I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. Lawrence is the biggest buyer of oranges in Cocoyasi Village. Without him, the livelihoods of many people in the village would be affected. So, you saved him, and you are the great benefactors of our entire Cocoyasi Village." As she spoke, Bellemere sincerely nodded to them, expressing her heartfelt thanks.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Little Nami, didn't you say you were going to treat us to oranges?" Lin Yi laughed.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Nami quickly took two oranges, one for Lin Yi and one for Filina. At such a young age, she already knew who to please.

Bellemere quickly distributed the oranges to Da Pan and the others.

The group chatted and ate delicious oranges in a fairly harmonious atmosphere. Nami kept pestering Filina to tell her about her adventures on the sea, and Filina patiently answered Nami's various strange questions.

Soon, Lawrence personally came to invite Lin Yi and his group to a banquet, and also invited Nami's family.

During the meal, Lawrence also gave Lin Yi the reward he had mentioned: a fine knife. Although it wasn't one of the 50 fine knives, it was still a rare and excellent knife, perfect for Fiona.

As expected of a businessman, he knows how to give the right gift.

Because Felina was going to teach Nami about navigation, Lin Yi and the others stayed in Cocoyasi Village for a whole month.

During this time, Lin Yi and the others also taught Nami and Noji some training methods. Although they didn't teach them Haki, it still had a good training effect.

A month later, Lin Yi and his group, along with Nami's family and Ah Jian, arrived at the dock in Cocoa West Village.

"Little Nami, you must work hard! I hope to hear your name on the high seas someday," Felina encouraged.

The others also bid farewell to Bellemere and the others; they had developed a good friendship after spending a month together.

"Mr. Lin Yi, have a safe journey," Belleme said. After a month of getting to know them, she discovered that Lin Yi and his companions were not wicked people at all; on the contrary, they gave off a very warm feeling.

"Haha, well then, goodbye everyone," Lin Yi said with a smile and a wave goodbye.

"Brother Lin Yi, Sister Filina, and everyone else, I will definitely meet you again on the high seas in the future," Nami cried out.

"Then you'd better do your best!" Lin Yi said with a smile while standing on the Silver Dragon.

"Go for it, Nami!" the others chimed in.

In the long river of time, there will always be people who throw stones into it, creating ripples before it returns to calm.

"System, sign in"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in at Cocoa West Village! You have received 965 Prosperity Points, one Superpolymer Solar Panel (one panel is better than six), and one uniquely flavored orange tree (delicious, very delicious)."

Yes, the rewards are quite good; they're all nice things that improve our lives.

After a month's stay, the Silver Dragon set sail again, this time heading to Zoro's hometown, Shimotsuki Village, where a squinty-eyed swordsman, Shimotsuki Koushirou, also resides.

After four days of sailing, the Silver Dragon finally arrived at Shimotsuki Village.

Perhaps because of the presence of the Isshin Dojo, no pirates have ever dared to raid Shimotsuki Village, so the residents live a relatively peaceful and prosperous life. This can be seen from the ships passing through Shimotsuki Village's port.

Lin Yi and the others disembarked and strolled along the village. A faint fishy smell filled the air, the scent of the many fishing boats in the harbor. Although Frostmoon Village was an agricultural village, some residents made their living by fishing.

He immediately spotted a boy with green hair helping to move cargo on a fishing boat. His determined look made him stand out from the crowd. This boy was Zoro.
