One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

So Drought Jack stopped cleaning up the battlefield and immediately ordered his men to set sail in the direction of Lin Yi.

Chapter 7 Encountering a Storm, Arriving at the Small Garden

Two more days passed quickly. That afternoon, Felina found Lin Yi and said that the Log Pose had stored enough magnetic force to go to the next island. Upon learning this, Lin Yi decided to leave Whiskey Hill Town the next day and head to the next island—Little Garden, also known as Pangaea Island.

That evening, Lin Yi had Darui prepare the supplies they needed and load them onto the Silver Dragon. Of course, Lin Yi paid him; he wasn't short of money, and since Darui had been performing well, he didn't keep exploiting him.

The next morning, sunlight streamed down the earth. Lin Yi led his friends to the dock, where the massive and luxurious Silver Dragon quietly awaited them.

After they boarded the ship, Darui hurriedly led a group of people to see them off. He came to thank Lin Yi, as he hadn't expected that Lin Yi's reward would include a Devil Fruit. Although it was just an ordinary Zoan-type Zebra Fruit, it was still extremely precious.

“Lord Void, thank you very much for your generosity,” Darui said sincerely.

"Darui, I don't care if you hunt pirates, but if you encounter some innocent adventurers, I hope you won't attack them," Lin Yi said seriously.

“I will keep your teachings in mind,” Darui said solemnly.

Lin Yi nodded and said nothing more. He gave Darui the Devil Fruit only because he wasn't a bad person and didn't want him to die too soon. Hunting down those vicious pirates was no easy task.

The Grand Line is more dangerous than the Four Seas not only because the pirates here are generally stronger than those in the Four Seas, but also because the Grand Line is home to all kinds of powerful Sea King creatures and has unpredictable weather changes.

On the morning of the second day after leaving Whiskey Hill, two enormous sea king octopuses suddenly appeared in the direction the Silver Dragon was heading, and several thick octopus tentacles with suction cups the size of washbasins lashed out at the Silver Dragon.

Fiona reacted swiftly, sending out several flashes of light. With a few "plop plop plop" sounds of flesh separating, the two octopus tentacles that had attacked fell to the ground.

Fiona leaped into the air, ready to kill them.

But Philina, who had been sensing the ocean currents, suddenly called out to Fiona, "Sister, come back quickly, the storm is coming soon!"

However, Fiona was already engaged in a fierce battle with the two octopuses. Although the two sea king octopuses were no match for Fiona, their powerful vitality made it difficult for Fiona to defeat them for the time being.

Hearing Felina's shout, Fiona wanted to retreat back to the Silver Dragon, but the two sea king octopuses, which Fiona had been fighting for so long, were not about to let her leave so easily.

In an instant, several jets of water blocked Fiona's retreat, and more than a dozen octopus tentacles attacked her simultaneously. These tentacles were covered in blue light, which made them exceptionally tough, and Fiona was unable to cut them all off in time.

The sky had begun to darken, and a massive energy seemed to be gathering in the sky, as if it could bring destruction to people at any moment.

Fearing for Fiona's safety, Lin Yi sent Simon to meet her. After all, Fiona was a Devil Fruit user, and fighting at sea would be quite restrictive; if she were knocked into the sea, it would be dangerous. Of course, Lin Yi was ready to intervene at any time and wouldn't let anything actually happen to Fiona.

Simon leaped into the sea, where he was much faster than in the air.

Soon, Simon used Fish-Man Karate to fling the two Sea King octopuses into the air. Fiona seized the opportunity and unleashed six flying swords simultaneously, covering them with Armament Haki. With a flash of light, the two Sea King octopuses were split into several pieces and fell back into the sea.

At this moment, raging waves surged, dark clouds filled the sky, and a fierce wind began to howl; the storm had finally arrived.

Seeing this, Fiona dared not delay and hurriedly flew back to the Silver Dragon on her sword. At the same time, Simon was also swimming rapidly towards the Silver Dragon in the sea.

The storm came very suddenly and was exceptionally fierce. After Fiona and Simon returned to the Silver Dragon, Felina hurriedly said to Dotai, who was at the helm, "Dotai, port rudder, increase speed. The storm hasn't surrounded us on the left yet. Let's break through from here."

"Received," Dotai replied loudly, his large hands steadily controlling the helm.

Meanwhile, Felina was pushing her Devil Fruit powers to the limit, trying to shorten the time it took for the storm to form. Although she could influence the weather to some extent with her Cloud-Cloud Fruit, she was still powerless against this natural force, which was like a catastrophe.

Half an hour later, thanks to the efforts of Fiona and Dote, the Silver Dragon finally made it safely through the storm.

Filina slumped to the ground, looking exhausted. This time, she was truly worn out.

"Well done, Felina!" Lin Yi praised with a smile.

If it weren't for Felina, he would probably have been forced to use his spatial abilities to safely teleport the Silver Dragon away.

While this approach might resolve the immediate crisis, it will undoubtedly foster a dependency among the companions. This dependency will certainly not contribute to their personal growth or development.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's sincere and generous praise, Felina's pale and haggard face, which had been worn out from overwork, instantly blossomed into a radiant and triumphant smile.

Seeing Felina's adorable and playful appearance, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the air, filling the entire scene with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

"Chiyo, let's have a banquet today to celebrate our victory over difficulties once again," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Chiyo, you have to treat me well," Felina said pitifully, hugging Chiyo tightly.

“Okay,” Chiyo replied with a smile. She would be happy if she could make everyone happy with delicious food.

So everyone busily prepared the food together.

This time, Da Pan didn't vomit during the storm. Although he still felt a bit unwell, he was much better than before. Perhaps it was because Da Pan's body had become stronger. But Lin Yi thought that Da Pan might have gotten used to vomiting after a while.

In the following days, Lin and his group did not encounter any more bad weather. They did encounter a few sea monsters, but they were all small and were easily dealt with by Da Pan. The kitchen also had a few more delicious ingredients.

After several days of sailing, a huge and mysterious island gradually came into view in the distance. The island was covered with towering, enormous plants, resembling a prehistoric forest. Felina excitedly pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Look, that's the Little Garden! We've finally arrived!"

"What a huge island!" Da Pan exclaimed excitedly. This was the largest island they had encountered since setting sail, almost the size of a small country.

Under Dote's control, the Silver Dragon came to a steady stop not far from the Lower Garden. To prevent any accidents, Simon volunteered to stay on the ship to guard the Silver Dragon.

Lin Yi had also said that it wasn't necessary, but Simon said that he preferred to protect the ship and ensure everyone had a safe haven rather than take risks. Lin Yi didn't try to persuade him further.

Lin Yi and the others disembarked and stepped onto the land of the small garden. As soon as they entered, they felt an ancient and mysterious aura surrounding them. Tall trees blocked out the sun, and strange sounds occasionally emanated from the bushes.

As they walked, they saw enormous footprints ahead, each the size of a swimming pool. Da Pan curiously approached to examine them. "What kind of monster left these footprints?" Just then, a series of heavy footsteps approached, causing the ground to tremble slightly. The group became alert, and saw a dinosaur, over ten meters tall, slowly emerge from the forest, letting out a deafening roar.

Looking at the dinosaur's thick, muscular legs, Da Pan's mouth was practically watering; this was a food he'd never seen before.

"Big brother, I'll go catch him! We're having barbecue today!" Da Pan excitedly rushed forward, his dragon-shaped staff instantly growing larger as he smashed it straight at the dinosaur's head.

The enormous, majestic dinosaur trembled in fright at the sudden attack. However, before it could react, a black shadow flashed like lightning, and the Panlong Staff slammed down on its incredibly hard head with overwhelming force!

In an instant, a deafening, piercing roar echoed throughout the forest. The dinosaur's massive body trembled violently from the impact, and then everything went black as if the entire world had been plunged into darkness. With a deafening crash, the dinosaur collapsed to the ground like a small mountain, raising a cloud of dust.

The desperate and agonizing roars of the dinosaur before its death caused a huge uproar in the dense forest. The once peaceful forest instantly became restless, with birds taking flight and beasts scattering in all directions. At the same time, a deafening roar, like rolling thunder, resounded from the depths of the forest, making the entire earth seem to tremble.

Standing not far away and witnessing all of this, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Hehe, it seems that the dinosaur that Da Pan killed was quite something."

However, he didn't seem to care too much about it. After all, in this mysterious little garden, the strongest beings were only those two burly giants.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the two giants were at most at the level of generals, which was not a great threat to them.

Chapter 8 Blue Demon Dorry, Red Demon Brogy

A rumbling sound came, followed by the collapse of trees, and a huge figure gradually appeared before Lin Yi and his companions.

Looking at the colossal creature in front of him, which was over fifty meters tall, Lin Yi thought to himself, "The world of One Piece is so damn unreasonable. Dinosaurs aren't that big, and this isn't just the kind with long necks; it's a real height." As for what kind of dinosaur it was, Lin Yi really didn't know. Anyway, it looked a bit like the Tyrannosaurus Rex he had seen online in his previous life, but its forelimbs were much longer than those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

When the dinosaur saw the dead, over ten-meter-long dinosaur lying motionless on the ground, it instantly became extremely enraged. After roaring to the sky, it stomped heavily down on Lin Yi and the others with its huge feet.

Seeing this, Dota leaped forward and swung his glove-clad fist fiercely at the giant dinosaur's foot as it stomped down.

As fists and feet clashed, a terrifying gust of wind swept in all directions, uprooting the surrounding trees.

After throwing a punch, Dota landed steadily next to Lin Yi, while the giant dinosaur staggered back a few steps. After regaining its footing, its right leg trembled slightly. This was only because Dota didn't use the Devil Fruit power of the gauntlets; otherwise, the dinosaur would have been crippled with a single blow.

The enormous dinosaur opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar. Its thick tail, as thick as a giant python, swept towards Lin Yi and the others with immense force, like a tidal wave crashing down.

Seeing this, Da Pan became somewhat displeased. He snorted coldly, "Hmph! You big guy, do you really think you can take on a bunch of people just because of your size?"

Having said that, Da Pan took a few steps forward without hesitation. As he moved, the muscles in his arms bulged as if they were about to burst through his sleeves. Then, he took a deep breath and tightly hugged the dinosaur's menacing tail.

However, although Da Pan managed to grab the giant dinosaur's tail, the impact was so powerful that he was instantly propelled backward a short distance by the immense inertia. A deep trail was left in the ground, and dust billowed up.

But Da Pan didn't back down. Instead, he grinned, revealing a set of clean, white teeth, and shouted, "Haha, big guy, you're really strong! But now it's my turn to show my strength!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his waist and his hands, which were originally holding the tail, exerted even more force, causing the huge dinosaur's entire body to spin and swing.

Seeing this, Lin Yi, who was standing not far away, was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but shout at Da Pan, "Hey, Da Pan, are you crazy? Are you trying to hit us too by swinging your arms around like that?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi quickly pulled Felina and the others beside him to a more distant place.

Meanwhile, Da Pan was completely absorbed in the thrill of wrestling with the dinosaur and paid no heed to Lin Yi's shouts. He continued to hold onto the dinosaur's tail tightly, increasing the strength and speed of his grip.

Finally, after spinning around twice more, Da Pan suddenly roared and abruptly released his grip on the tail. In an instant, the unrestrained dinosaur shot off into the distance like a cannonball. With a deafening boom, the dinosaur crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Hahaha, now you know how powerful I am!" Da Pan laughed triumphantly.

"Big Pan, you almost hit us just now," Felina said angrily.

"Um... would you believe me if I said it was an accident?" Da Pan's smug expression instantly turned awkward, and he said somewhat unsure of himself.

"Unexpected my foot! Take this, Felina's Rising Lightning!" Felina shouted, and a dark cloud appeared above Da Pan's head. A bright arc of electricity struck Da Pan, and instantly, all the hair on Da Pan's body stood on end, making him look like a hedgehog.

"Hahahaha." Felicity, whose prank had succeeded, burst into laughter.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

But then, a booming voice came from afar: "Who is disturbing my sleep?"

Then another equally loud voice rang out: "Broki, is it time for the duel?"

"Dongli isn't here. It seems someone has landed on the island," the first person to speak said.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Yi knew that they were the two giant warriors who had fought here for nearly a hundred years—Blue Demon Donri and Red Demon Brogy.

Lin Yi smiled at his companions and said, "It seems this island has an owner. Let's go pay them a visit."

Lin Yi immediately took the lead and flew towards the direction of the sound. The others followed one after another.

Da Pan, with only his hair still standing on end, stared dumbfounded at the dinosaur's carcass.

"Didn't we agree to have barbecue? What are we going to do with this food now that you've run away?" Da Pan shouted at Lin Yi and the others.

But Lin Yi and the others had already gone far away, so Da Pan had no choice but to grab the dinosaur's tail and drag it as he chased after them.

"Clatter, clatter ...

"Hehehehe, it seems our duel won't be completed today," Donli laughed.

Soon, Lin Yi and his group arrived in front of Dongli and Broki.

"I presume you two are the Blue Oni Dorry and the Red Oni Brogy?" Lin Yi greeted them with a smile.

Dongli was approximately 22 meters tall, wearing an iron-faced helmet and sporting a long beard. A dark blue cloak draped over his shoulders, beneath which he wore warrior's armor, a white fur-trimmed waist guard, brown trousers, and brown boots. He wielded a massive longsword in his right hand and a round shield in his left, exuding a fierce and menacing aura.

Brogy was about a meter shorter and much fatter than Dorry. He wore an iron helmet with pointed ends and had a large yellow beard. He wore a dark blue cloak over his shoulders, underneath which he wore warrior's armor, a white fur-lined waist guard, checkered capri trousers, and brown boots. He held a huge battle axe in his right hand and a round shield in his left. He appeared more honest and simple than Dorry.

Dongli was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this human brat could actually tell them their origins.

Dongli looked at Lin Yi curiously, "Little guy, how did you know about us?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You two are quite well-known in this sea area."

Brogy burst out laughing. "Haha, funny little brat. By the way, do you have any wine?"

Upon hearing this, Dongli's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Yi with some anticipation. There was no shortage of food in the small garden, but no wine. It had been more than a year since anyone had come here, and they had been craving wine for a long time.

"Of course we have that. I wouldn't dare say more, but we can certainly treat you two to a good meal," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Haha, you're a really nice guy. What are your names? Are you pirates?" Dorry said happily.

"My name is Lin Yi. I'm a traveling adventurer, not a pirate. These are my companions," Lin Yi said with a smile.
