One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

“Hey big guy, my name is Filina,” Filina said with a grin.

“My name is Fiona,” Fiona said coolly.

“I am Dota,” Dota said with a slight nod.

"My name is Chiyo, and I'm a chef. Nice to meet you," Chiyo said politely.

"My name is Reiju, and I'm currently a doctor," Reiju said with a smile.

“My name is Kerry, and I can play the flute,” Kerry said shyly.

"Clap clap clap clap, my name is Brogy, hello everyone," Brogy said with a smile.

"I'm Dongli, welcome to the little garden," Dongli said with a smile.

Just then, Da Pan arrived, panting, dragging the dinosaur along. Seeing the two giants, his eyes lit up. "Wow, such big guys must eat a lot!" Everyone was speechless.

Dongli looked at the dinosaur and said, "You hunted this? Not bad."

"Haha, this is nothing, this big guy isn't that strong." Da Pan said that it was nothing.

Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

“In that case, let’s have a grand banquet tonight,” Dongli said generously.

Everyone cheered and began preparing the dinner. Chiyo was in charge of cooking, with Da Pan and the others helping out. Before long, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

Everyone sat together, drinking and eating, enjoying themselves immensely. Kerry took out his flute and played a cheerful tune, and everyone clapped and hummed along to the rhythm.

During this time, Dongli and Brogy told Lin Yi and his companions many stories about the sea, which broadened their horizons.

The banquet lasted until the next morning. The two giants, who had drunk a bit too much, started fighting without warning, which startled Felina and the others. But Lin Yi was not surprised at all. It was quite normal for the two to fight, after all, they had been fighting for almost ninety years.

Just as they were fighting, Da Pan couldn't resist the urge to join the battle.

The three fought fiercely, and the animals on the island fled in terror.

Lin Yi and his companions watched with great interest, unaware that a conspiracy was quietly unfolding.

(I might have to take tomorrow off, hehe, I'm going home to dig potatoes.)

Chapter 9 Jack's "Drought"

For the next period of time, Lin Yi meticulously prepared various fragrant wines every day to entertain the two giants, Brogy and Dorry, and asked them to conduct special training on the use of Haki for Da Pan and others.

These two giants are both seasoned warriors who have weathered a century of trials and tribulations; their combat experience and strength are unparalleled. If Da Pan and his companions can learn knowledge and skills from these two giants, they will undoubtedly benefit immensely.

On that very day, an incredibly fierce battle erupted on the island.

The fish-man brothers worked closely together, launching a fierce attack on the tall and powerful Dorry; on the other side, the sisters Philina and Fiona were equally determined, working together to deal with Broki's overwhelming offensive.

The battlefields of the two sides were not far apart, so the battle was extremely fierce. Shouts of battle and the sounds of collisions resounded through the sky, and the entire island seemed to tremble.

In an instant, the once peaceful and tranquil island became noisy and bustling, and the animals that lived there were trembling with fear.

The fierce battle lasted a long time, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to give an inch.

However, as the battle drew to a close, Dorry and Brogy suddenly roared in unison and unleashed a powerful attack called "Sea Domination".

In an instant, an overwhelming force surged forth, sweeping directly towards Duotai and the other three. Faced with such a terrifying attack, Duotai and the others tried their best to resist, but in the end, they could not withstand the immense force and were all sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away.

It must be admitted that although Dota and his companions already possess considerable strength, they are still somewhat inferior to these two long-lived and battle-hardened giants.

Lin Yi clapped his hands as he fell from the air, praising Donald and Brogy: "What an amazing combination technique."

If Donli and Brogy were alone, their strength would only be that of an admiral. But when they were together, their attacks would be so powerful that even a king-level opponent would not be underestimated. Moreover, Lin Yi knew that their combination technique was not limited to "Overlord of the Sea".

"Lin Yi, their strength has improved very quickly. Look, I'm injured. You'd better give me some more good wine." Dong Li said, rubbing his chest, which was bruised from being punched by Duo Tai.

“Yeah, Lin Yi, that girl Fiona slashed me several times,” Loki complained from the side.

"Haha, no problem." Lin Yi nodded with a smile and turned to walk towards the group of people lying on the ground.

"How are you feeling?" Lin Yi asked.

Dotai struggled to his feet. "Captain, we realize we still have many shortcomings and need to work harder." The others nodded in agreement.

"Very good, you have the right attitude. However, today's battle was not meaningless, and you should have noticed your own growth."

As everyone recalled the details of the battle, their eyes lit up; they had indeed learned a great deal.

At this moment, Brogy scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "Actually, those kids are pretty good. If they train for a while longer, they'll definitely be even better."

Dongli chimed in, "That's right. As long as we persevere, the future is limitless."

Upon hearing the two giants' approval, Dota and the others showed joy on their faces.

Lin Yi looked at everyone, his heart filled with anticipation, "Then everyone must continue to work hard in the days to come. Let's take a break now, and then we'll discuss the next training plan in detail."

The crowd cheered, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

Just then, the sound of fierce fighting came from the direction of the beach where the Silver Dragon was docked. Since Simon had to undergo special training, Da Pan was the only one left on the ship today. But with Da Pan's current strength, who would fight him to this extent?

Before he could think any further, Lin Yi's body vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already at the scene of the battle. As for Felina and the others, they used their own methods to quickly get there.

When Lin Yi arrived, Da Pan was fighting a tall, strong man with blond hair tied in a ponytail and two braids, a metal jaw on his mouth, two ivory-like ornaments on his head and shoulders, and two strangely shaped scythes in his hands.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this the "Drought Jack" that netizens jokingly called "the shipping magnate"? What was he doing here?

Meanwhile, Drought Jack, who was fighting Da Pan, was increasingly alarmed. How could this fat bear be so strong? This gave him a bad feeling, and he realized that his decision to come and cause trouble for Lin Yi this time seemed a bit hasty.

Meanwhile, on Jack's Mammoth, his second-in-command, Qiu Lishi, saw that Jack was already fighting with Da Pan, and that there was no one on the Silver Dragon. So he decisively ordered the Silver Dragon to be shelled. His purpose was not just to make Jack fight Lin Yi and the others.

"Lin Yi's ship has been destroyed. He must be furious. It would be best if I could kill that brute Jack, then I'd be free of trouble," Qiu Lishi thought sinisterly.

"Bang bang bang." Powerful shells roared towards the Silver Dragon, but the scene of destruction that Chulis had imagined did not occur.

A figure appeared out of thin air above the Silver Dragon without making any move, but the shells that were fired at the Silver Dragon were strangely split in two and then fell straight into the sea.

"Damn, it was so close," Qiu Lishi thought with some frustration.

Lin Yi's gaze turned menacing as he looked at Qiu Lishi aboard the Mammoth. Had this man lost his mind? He dared to touch his own ship. But Lin Yi had no intention of making a move yet; he wanted to see what this shipping magnate was up to.

Suddenly, Da Pan's dragon-coiled staff lengthened, propelling Jack into the sky. Da Pan lunged forward, gathering his strength, then abruptly retracted the staff, shouting, "!"

"The Profound Meaning of the Eight Desolate Staff Techniques - Martial Limit Break"

The retracted dragon staff struck Jack's chest hard, like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

A "crack" sounded as bones shattered, and Jack screamed as he crashed heavily onto the sea.

Seeing this, Qi Lishi was overjoyed. Jack was a Devil Fruit user, and now that he had been thrown into the sea, he would surely die if no one rescued him.

However, in the next instant, all his expectations vanished.

Not long after Jack was knocked into the sea by Big Pan, an unexpected scene unfolded. Jack's disheveled figure suddenly leaped out of the water and landed on the shore. At this moment, his face was ashen, and crimson blood continued to spill from the corner of his mouth, as if he had just experienced a life-or-death ordeal. But at the same time, his eyes flashed with a chilling ferocity, like a wounded beast, ready to pounce on its enemy at any moment.

Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Jack secretly felt extremely fortunate.

Just now, he almost died. Fortunately, since swallowing that mysterious Devil Fruit, he hadn't neglected his rigorous training to build up his seawater resistance despite gaining immense power. Otherwise, he would have been completely powerless when he fell into the sea, and his chances of survival would have been slim.

Thanks to his unique merman body and years of persistent, accumulated training, his resistance to seawater has greatly increased. While not completely immune, he can at least maintain some mobility if he accidentally falls into the sea, unlike ordinary people who would completely lose control of their bodies. (I've emphasized Jack's resistance to seawater here; in the original series, Jack was conscious and able to breathe after falling into the sea, but needed rescue. And as I mentioned, it's the result of training; not every merman can do that.)

Jack gasped for breath, the intense pain in his chest causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He knew that in his current state, even in full beast form, he might not be a match for the fat bear opposite him.

"Not bad, they're still alive." Da Pan said with a surprised look on his face as he carried the Panlong Staff.

Although he hadn't used his full strength in that attack, it still had some force. He was really surprised that this silly guy could still stand up.

"You bastard, how dare you look down on me?" Da Pan's flippant tone instantly put Jack into a red-hot state.

He roared, and his body began to swell. Soon, a huge mammoth with a reddish-brown body appeared in front of Da Pan. Under its thick trunk, two snow-white tusks emitted a chilling light.

"Holy crap, you're a Devil Fruit user? How did you manage to get out of the sea after falling in?" Da Pan exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, you wretched fat bear, I'm going to pierce your body!" Jack naturally wouldn't tell Da Pan the reason, he said viciously.

As he spoke, the mammoth charged towards Da Pan with heavy steps. It was very fast, but Da Pan was not to be outdone. He unleashed his domineering aura and fiercely fought with the charging mammoth.

While Jack's strength increased somewhat after his full beast form, he was still no match for a serious Pan. At most, Jack's strength was at the level of a Marine Vice Admiral.

Soon, under the fierce attack, Jack was seriously injured by Da Pan again, and Da Pan broke off two of his snow-white tusks.

Looking at Jack lying on the ground like a dead dog, Da Pan said disdainfully, "You think you can cause trouble for my brother? You're really asking for it."

"Cough cough..." Accompanied by a series of violent coughs, Jack's body trembled as he slowly withdrew from his beast form. His once strong and imposing physique was now incredibly battered and bruised, covered in numerous wounds and cuts.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that many of Jack's bones had been broken by Da Pan. The broken bones were clearly visible through his skin, some even piercing through muscle tissue and protruding, a horrifying sight. Furthermore, his internal organs were severely damaged; each breath triggered excruciating pain, causing him to involuntarily furrow his brow and bite his lips tightly.

Due to the severity of his injuries, Jack coughed up large amounts of blood. The bright red blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, staining his shirt and creating a gruesome scene. The once defiant face was now gone, replaced by a look of utter despair. His eyes were dull and lifeless, devoid of their former sharpness and brilliance, filled only with deep despair and a trace of regret.

Lin Yi landed in the air and asked Da Pan, "Da Pan, what's wrong with him?"

"Hehe, this guy came here yelling for Big Brother to come out and die. I couldn't stand it, so I fought with him. I didn't expect him to be so weak," Da Pan laughed.

"You... Pfft." Jack coughed up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this, and was so angry at Da Pan that he fainted.

Lin Yi was speechless. This shipping magnate was really reckless. Even Kaido was no match for him. How did he have the courage to come looking for trouble?

"Brother, what should we do with him?" Da Pan asked.

Lin Yi was in a dilemma. It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't dare to kill this guy, but he had a feeling that there might be other reasons behind this guy's inexplicable trouble-making.

"By the way, the people on that ship actually dared to shell the Silver Dragon. It's outrageous!" Lin Yi suddenly remembered the Mammoth's attack on the Silver Dragon.

"Damn it, these damned pirates! I'll go kill them all!" Da Pan said angrily. The Silver Dragon was an important partner for them, and these guys actually dared to try to harm it; they were asking for death.

"Go ahead, and bring the leader over with you as well," Lin Yi nodded and said.

Da Pan took off into the air with the dragon-patterned staff and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the half-dead Jack, Lin Yi wondered whether he should kill him, since he wasn't a good person anyway.

"Lin Yi, what happened?" Fiona was the first to arrive, and she asked with some confusion.

Then Felina and the others arrived one after another.

Lin Yi pointed at Jack on the ground and said, "This idiot came looking for trouble and got beaten up by Da Pan. Now Da Pan is chasing after his accomplices."

"Pirates?" Fiona asked.

"Yes, and not just any ordinary pirate. He should be Jack the Drought, one of Kaido's subordinates," Lin Yi explained.

"Huh, this guy's teeth are just like Dota's. Could he be a fish-man?" Philina said with some surprise. Just now, Jack, perhaps in too much pain, slightly bared his teeth while unconscious, which Philina happened to see.

Upon hearing this, Dota and Simon, who hadn't paid much attention at first, took a closer look and pried open Jack's mouth, discovering a row of serrated teeth inside. This indicated that the guy in front of them was likely a fish-man.
