One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Lin Yi entered the kitchen and saw three resentful figures: Fiona, Dota, and Simon.

"Quick, throw all of this away and make a new meal," Lin Yi said.

The group sprang into action, and only after eating breakfast again did they realize they were still alive.

"Big brother, don't let Felina into the kitchen anymore," Da Pan said, patting his full stomach.

Dota and Simon nodded in unison, while Fiona felt somewhat awkward, after all, she was her sister. But she didn't object.

"Let's try to find a chef to come on board for the next voyage, otherwise eating barbecue all the time won't work. Alright, Fiona, go and take some barbecue to Felina, she hasn't eaten yet. We'll set off once Felina has determined the voyage route."

"Good Captain" x4.

Because of the need to visit certain islands, Lin Yi had to pass by as many inhabited islands as possible, making it a challenging task. It wasn't until the afternoon of the following day that Philina managed to finalize the general plan.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Now I announce that the Traveler is setting sail!" Lin Yi shouted loudly from the bow of the ship.

"Good Captain" x5.

The next island was a small island. Although it was inhabited, it was not particularly special, so Lin Yi and the others simply replenished their food supplies and left.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Departed Island. Reward: 177 Prosperity Points and a case of Niulanshan Erguotou liquor."

As expected, the rewards for visiting the small island weren't much, but it was better than nothing, and the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) was still quite delicious. How could one come to the exciting world of One Piece without drinking?

So Captain Lin Yi decided to throw a banquet. He immediately took out Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and drank with Simon and the others. The spicy and pungent flavor, with its burnt texture, was a hit with the two fishmen. Da Pan wasn't used to it at first, but he got more and more into it. The banquet didn't end until evening. Half a case of Erguotou was gone, and several men were completely drunk. Philina Fiona drank a little, but didn't get drunk.

Fiona said, "Ignore them, just let them sleep on the deck."

Felina couldn't bear it any longer and carried her older brother Lin Yi back to his room. As for the others, well, was anyone there? She didn't see anyone.

The hangover was unpleasant, but thanks to the strong physique of the One Piece world, I didn't experience a splitting headache.

When he got up, it was already afternoon. When he went outside, he was shocked to find that the people who had been drinking with him were not as good as him. They were all lying in the place where the banquet had been last night, and they hadn't woken up yet.

He washed up and went up to the deck.

Felina was lying on a recliner, quietly reading a book. Seeing him arrive, she asked with concern, "Brother Lin Yi, are you feeling better? Are you hungry? My sister cooked some porridge, would you like some?"

"It's alright. Could you get me some, and also a glass of lemonade?" Lin Yi said, sitting down next to her.

"Okay, wait a moment," Felina happily went off to do her work.

Lin Yi lay on another recliner, the warm sunlight making him feel incredibly comfortable; it felt so good.

A short while later, Felina brought over the porridge, along with a glass of lemon water on the plate.

The meat porridge tasted pretty good. As he ate, he asked, "Where's Fiona? Where did she go?"

Filina, who had picked up her book again, said, "My sister is training in the cultivation room. Should I go and call her?"

"No need, I'll go find her myself later. What's our next island?"

Without hesitation, Philina replied, "It's Proxiu fishing village. It takes four days to sail there. I've heard that their whole fish feast is delicious, so we can stay there for a few more days."

"Really? That's great," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Yi," Felina suddenly said.

Why do you say that?

"You first saved my sister and me, and then helped us avenge our parents. I know that my sister has been in a lot of pain. She worked so hard to cultivate so that she could avenge our parents. Now that Gilber is dead, I can feel the relief in my sister's heart. Thank you, Brother Lin Yi, you have given us a new life," Filina said gratefully.

Lin Yi patted Felina on the shoulder and smiled, "We don't need to say thank you between us, we're partners, aren't we?"

"Yes, Captain," Felina replied with a radiant smile, as warm as the sunshine.

Lin Yi picked up the dishes he had finished eating, got up and went to the kitchen. Afterwards, he went to the training room and gave Fiona the great sword Snow Drink, which he had obtained by signing in at the Kingdom of Augusta. She was extremely excited. For a swordsman, the attraction of a famous sword is huge. After receiving Snow Drink, Fiona completely ignored Lin Yi and kept stroking Snow Drink.

Lin Yi was speechless. Not even a thank you. How rude!

He gave Fiona a resentful look, then turned and left the training room, unaware of the smug look in her eyes.

After four days at sea, the ship docked smoothly at the pier in Proxiu fishing village. Lin Yi and his group disembarked, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of seafood.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar faces, many fishermen working at the dock stopped what they were doing and stared at the group.

A bald, middle-aged man with a scar on his face led several strong young men to them.

"Outsiders, who are you, and what are you doing in Proxiu fishing village?" the bald middle-aged man said, his eyes constantly scanning Dotai and Simon.

"Haha, uncle, don't be nervous. We're not bad people. We're a group of travelers. My name is Lin Yi, and they're all my partners. We heard that your whole fish feast is delicious, so we came here." Lin Yi indicated that they meant no harm.

"Are they fishmen?" the bald man asked, pointing at Dotai and his group, which made Dotai somewhat uncomfortable.

“Yes, uncle, they are my partners now,” Lin Yi said.

"My name is Dalton, and I'm the owner of Dalton Fishing Grounds. I asked this question because I've never seen a fish-man before. Welcome to Proxiu Fishing Village," Dalton said with a smile after confirming that Lin Yi and his companions were not pirates.

"It's alright, we understand. Uncle Dalton, we'll go eat now."

“Okay, the whole fish feast at Bachi Restaurant in the right of the village is the most authentic. You can go and try it. I believe you won’t be disappointed,” Dawton suggested.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Dalton," Lin Yi said, then led Da Pan and the others into the village.

Along the way, people kept staring at them curiously, but thankfully nothing dramatic happened.

They quickly found the Bach restaurant that Dawton had mentioned. The restaurant wasn't crowded yet, probably because it wasn't lunchtime. An elderly man in his sixties, wearing a chef's robe, came to greet them.

"Haha, guests, what would you like to eat?"

"Uncle Dalton said that the whole fish feast here is the most authentic. Give us ten servings first," Lin Yi said readily.

"Haha, that's right. Even Roger praised the whole fish feast that I, Bachi, made," the old man Bachi said proudly.

"Oh, Grandpa Buggy knows the Pirate King Roger?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"About eight years ago, the Roger Pirates came here. They were rather unconventional pirates. They were singing and dancing here back then, but unfortunately, he died," Buggy said with some reminiscence.

"Haha, old man, you can't say that. If the navy hears you, you'll be in trouble. Go and prepare some food for us. It's not good to let our guests go hungry." This old man was quite interesting.

Realizing he had let something slip, Bachi didn't say anything more and went into the kitchen to start preparing a whole fish feast.

Soon, a table was filled with dishes made from various kinds of fish, and everyone ate with great relish.

"Delicious, brother, this fish is really good. How about we tie the old man up on the boat?" Da Pan said while eating.

"What are you thinking? He's over sixty. Besides, don't you get tired of eating fish every day?" Lin Yi said irritably.

The ten-person fish feast was quickly finished. Lin Yi ordered some other dishes, which, while not as amazing as the fish feast, were still quite good. The meal cost them over 20 Berries to fill their stomachs.

Lin Yi felt he should make some money, and the way to do it would naturally be through those pirates. Not only did they have treasure on their ships, but they also had bounties on board, hehe.

After finishing their meal, Simon and Dotay returned to the ship; they didn't particularly enjoy wandering around human towns.

Da Pan and Felina went shopping, while Lin Yi took Fiona to a sword club on the island, the Light Martial Arts Sword Club.

This was learned from a conversation with Bachi, who said that the sword hall master was also a veteran swordsman.

This is the first swordsman Lin Yi has encountered since he set sail, and he certainly can't miss it. His current swordsmanship requires him to constantly compete with sword masters in order to make breakthroughs.

I hope it won't disappoint me, Lin Yi thought.

Chapter 9 Light Sword Hall, Miyazaki Michi

Slowly stepping into the quiet and mysterious bamboo forest, the path winds and twists beneath my feet. The surroundings are so tranquil that only the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the breeze and the occasional clear bird song can be heard. Following the path, my gaze is gradually drawn to a building in the distance—a bamboo house occupying a rather large area. It stands there quietly, like an emerald set in this sea of ​​bamboo. The entire bamboo house is constructed of bamboo, appearing simple yet elegant from a distance.

It seems that sword-making schools in the One Piece world are often built in bamboo forests. As far as I can remember, Zoro's master, Koushirou, also built a sword-making school in a bamboo forest in the anime.

As you approach the bamboo building, the plaque of the Qingwu Sword Hall comes into view. From the bamboo courtyard, you can faintly hear the soft shouts of young men practicing their swordsmanship.

At this moment, a boy dressed in gray cloth with a wooden sword at his waist walked over and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to learn swordsmanship?"

"We are travelers on a sea voyage. We heard about a sword club here, so we came to visit and exchange skills," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're swordsmen? I challenge you," the young man said, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Haha, wait until you have your own sword. A swordsman's challenge isn't about playing around with a wooden sword," Lin Yi said ruthlessly.

"Damn it, I'm not playing around. I'm going to defeat you. Draw your sword!" the boy said seriously, drawing the wooden sword from his waist.

Lin Yi didn't speak, but his refusal was clear. Fiona, on the other hand, seemed interested; she broke off a bamboo stalk, about the same length as the wooden sword.

“Kid, let me be your opponent,” Fiona said.

Unexpectedly, the young man pursed his lips and said, "I don't hit women."

Lin Yi applauded his courage and silently took a few steps back.

Sure enough, Fiona smiled at the boy and said, "Really? I hope you won't cry later."

Before the boy could reply, Fiona lashed out with the bamboo stick like a sword. The speed was so fast that the boy only had time to parry before he was completely defenseless, howling in pain as Fiona whipped him with the bamboo. This was hardly a friendly sparring match; it was more like a mother beating her son.

After giving the precocious brat a good beating, Fiona's anger subsided. The poor boy was covered in bamboo marks from the beating; she had at least spared him face.

"Charles Connor, now you know there's always someone better, right? Go back to your practice," a thin middle-aged man said to the boy as he walked out of the house.

"Master, she ambushed me. I will definitely defeat her next time," the boy Charles Connor said stubbornly, but he did not disobey his master and obediently went back to training.

"Please excuse my humble amusement. I am Miyazaki Michi, the master of the sword club. Please come in," Miyazaki Michi introduced himself and led Lin Yi and his companion into the reception room.

The three men sat down, and Miyazaki Michi brewed tea for them, asking, "Who are you two, and what is your purpose in coming here?"

"We are adventurous travelers on the high seas. My name is Huaxia Lin Yi, and this is my partner Fiona. We are here to spar with the master swordsman," Lin Yi stated his purpose.

“No problem, it’s been a long time since I’ve exchanged sword techniques with a swordsman,” Miyazaki readily agreed. Generally, a swordsman rarely refuses a challenge from another swordsman.

The two first exchanged their understanding of swordsmanship. Fiona, standing to the side, occasionally raised questions, which Miyazaki Michi patiently answered without hesitation. The three chatted for an hour. Overall, Fiona benefited greatly, while Lin Yi and Miyazaki Michi, having their own paths, only gained some insights.

In the afternoon, Miyazaki Michi led them to a relatively spacious open area on the back hill. He and Lin Yi were going to spar there, with Fiona and several boys from the sword club in the audience, including Charles Connor.

The two stood still, each radiating a powerful aura, but it was concentrated within their bodies and not easily released. The surrounding air seemed to become heavy with tension.

Finally, Miyazaki Michi could no longer contain himself and launched the first attack. With a flash, he rushed towards his opponent like a ghost, his longsword drawing a strange arc in the air, aiming straight for his opponent's vitals.

It's important to know that Miyazaki Michi's swordsmanship is a style known for its lightness and agility, with a core principle of killing with a single blow. This style emphasizes the perfect combination of speed and skill, and its attacks are like a viper's flick of the tongue, making them impossible to defend against.

In contrast, Lin Yi on the other side appeared much more composed. He wielded a greatsword, his moves wide and sweeping, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound, giving the impression of invincibility. His swordsmanship emphasized using brute force to overcome techniques, relying on his own immense strength and exquisite skill to break through the enemy's attacks.

In this fierce battle, Miyazaki Michi fully utilized the characteristics of his swordsmanship. Whenever he encountered Lin Yi's fierce attacks, he would always skillfully dodge to the side or use the opponent's force against him, never confronting him head-on.

Neither of them possessed Haki or other abilities in this battle, because Miyazaki would have been defeated very quickly if he had.

After dodging Lin Yi's heavy blow, Miyazaki Michi seized the opportunity to unleash the core sword technique of his Light Martial Swordplay: Phantom Instant Slash. A mesmerizing figure appeared before Lin Yi, thrusting his sword towards Lin Yi's throat.

Lin Yi dodged to the side, and with a swift motion, he unleashed a flying slash at Miyazaki, but Miyazaki's figure suddenly vanished.

"Oh, Phantom." Lin Yi himself knew a similar move, but he used the Space Fruit's ability to perform it. So although he was surprised, he was not panicked.
