One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

In addition, his physical strength and mastery of Haki have improved significantly. His Observation Haki has also been combined with spatial awareness; although he can't read minds, it's practically like X-ray vision. He can see everything around him even with his eyes closed, and anything or anyone within the range of his Observation Haki is clearly displayed before him. The Clear-Clear Fruit is nothing but trash.

Overall, there are a few people he can't beat, but no one can defeat him either.

Before awakening, his intangibility could be interrupted. Intangibility is between space and reality. Top-level Armament Haki and some rule-based Devil Fruits can knock him out of the void, such as Garp's Armament Haki and Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

But now that his Devil Fruit has awakened, he will be completely hidden in the void. Unless he masters the rules, no one can touch him unless he chooses to. And mastering the rules is something no one in this world can do, even if their Devil Fruits have awakened, because all Devil Fruits in this world have flaws, meaning that while they can awaken, they cannot master them like Lin Yi. Not even Whitebeard could.

Lin Yi took out a piece of black wood and crafted it into ten black rings. He then stored his spatial abilities within each ring, each ring being one cubic meter in size. It wasn't that he didn't want to make larger ones, but rather that a single ring of black wood could only hold one cubic meter of space; any more and it would explode.

He then took out an even larger piece of black wood and polished it into a bracelet, which could hold five cubic meters of space. This was for Filina, the chief steward, and it served as the warehouse bracelet for the Dream Exploration Adventure Team, specifically for storing the team's valuables.

"Big brother, big brother, have you finally come out of seclusion?" Before he even arrived, the voice that came first was from Da Pan, who was the first to arrive.

Soon after, the others followed and arrived at the same place.

"Haha, Da Pan, I've been in seclusion for a few days. Has anything happened during this time?" Lin Yi was also very happy to see his friends.

"Today is the ninth day. Two days ago, a group of pirates tried to steal our ship, but I took care of them. It's a pity that the captain's bounty was only 300 million," Da Pan boasted.

“Brother Lin Yi, you have to keep an eye on Da Pan. He’s spent over 200 million Berries on food these past few days. If he keeps eating like this, we’ll be bankrupt sooner or later,” Felina complained.

“Felina, you’ve misunderstood Da Pan. His physique has broken through, which is why he’s eating so much. Haven’t you noticed that Da Pan has grown taller? He’s almost 4 meters now,” Lin Yi explained to Da Pan. Da Pan’s Armament Haki had broken through to the advanced level, which showed that Da Pan’s training had not lagged behind during this time.

"It seems so, I really didn't notice." Felina compared her height and realized that she could no longer reach the shoulders she used to be able to pat.

"And you, have you mastered the Six Styles of Naval Shaving?" Lin Yi asked.

"This, almost there, almost there, almost there," Filina said guiltily. She had been spending the last few days in the bookstore and hadn't practiced at all.

Lin Yi frowned. Felina was good at everything, except that she wasn't interested in cultivation.

"That won't do. I'll give you extra training until you can master it," Lin Yi said seriously.

“Okay,” Felina said, somewhat dejected.

"Fiona, how's your swordsmanship?" Lin Yi asked Fiona.

Fiona's lips curled into a slight smile, but her tone remained calm as she said, "Not bad, I've broken through to the Sword Master Mirror realm."

Lin Yi smiled and praised, "Very good, your talent is not weak, but don't be arrogant after breaking through in swordsmanship. Master the domineering aura as soon as possible, that is the key to becoming stronger."

Lin Yi then asked Simon and Dota.

"Captain, we've mastered Shave, and our Fish-Man Karate has improved, but we haven't mastered Haki yet," Simon said, somewhat disappointed. After all, with their physical strength, humans would have awakened Haki long ago.

"Don't worry, the Iron Body technique from the Six Styles of the Navy might be able to help you, but I don't have the training method yet. I will try to get it and teach it to you as soon as possible. For now, you should practice your Fishman Karate," Lin Yi comforted you.

"Understood, Captain" ×2

Lin Yi took out the spatial rings he had prepared and gave one to each person.

"Brother, what is this?" Da Pan asked, and the others also curiously examined the black ring in his hand.

"This is a spatial ring I crafted using ebony as a vessel. Inside, there's a cubic space. If you drop a drop of blood onto it, the ring will record your information. From then on, only you can open this space. As for how to open it, you'll know after you've bound it to you," Lin Yi explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the group was overjoyed with the spatial ring. They all pricked their fingers and dripped blood onto the ring, instantly creating a wondrous connection between them. They could take out any item at any time, and with a thought, the item would disappear; with another thought, it would reappear. They then played with it as if it were a brand new toy.

"Alright, this isn't for you to play around with. Fiona, this is a spatial bracelet. Keep it. From now on, the ship's finances will be kept in it." Lin Yi stopped their playful antics and then gave the spatial bracelet to Fiona.

“Okay, Brother Lin Yi, I will definitely keep it safe.” Felina said happily.

"Haha, friends, it's time for us to head to a new place. We've been here long enough," Lin Yi laughed.

"Good captain!" shouted loudly five times.

Chapter 13 The Poison Tree King on Poison Tree Island

Sailing on the high seas can be monotonous, and often the only thing around you is your own ship.

So in addition to the established sea routes, Lin Yi would also explore and search for uninhabited islands based on the intelligence he collected, although most of the time he gained nothing but knowledge.

But there are also some interesting things. For example, there is an island that is covered with poisonous plants, and there is even a sentient poisonous tree king that was born there.

Not long after entering the island, Filina and Fiona were knocked unconscious by the poisonous fog. Simon and Dotay were in better physical condition, but their strength was also reduced to less than one-tenth by the poison gas.

When they tried to leave the island, the surrounding plants attacked Lin Yi and his companions relentlessly. These plants were not strong, but the four of them had already lost their ability to fight, and any scratches from these plants would cause numbness in their bodies. Helpless, Lin Yi could only use his spatial abilities to send them back to the ship.

Since there was no ship doctor, Lin Yi had to exchange some antidote pills from the system shop to feed them. Each pill cost 100 prosperity points, and 500 prosperity points disappeared in an instant. This made Lin Yi, who only had a little over 4000 prosperity points, very distressed. He wanted to save them up to buy something he had always wanted.

To be honest, the things produced by the system are really good. Not long after they were given the antidote pills, they were fine. They sat on the ground, still shaken. If Lin Yi hadn't been there, they might have been done for.

"Haha, what's wrong, scared?" Lin Yi laughed, looking at the listless group.

“This is terrifying. These plants can infect people silently,” Simon said.

“Yes, I immediately stopped breathing after Miss Felina fainted, but it didn’t work,” Dota said with a grim expression.

"The poisonous fog emanating from the island can enter the body through the skin. I used my spatial abilities to isolate it. Da Pan was able to escape because he had cultivated Armament Haki to an advanced level, so you all need to cultivate Armament Haki as soon as possible. I have already taught you Iron Body from the Six Styles of the Navy. You must practice it well. Iron Body is known as a transitional skill for Armament Haki. If you master it, you will be able to master Armament Haki more quickly," Lin Yi advised.

He obtained the Type 6 Iron Body from a sign-in event on a small island. Besides the Iron Body, he also received a Finger Pistol and a Finger Drawing. He has already acquired four of the Type 6 Iron Bodies.

"Wait for me on the boat. I'm going to meet the owner of this island." Without waiting for their reply, Lin Yi used his divine power to teleport to the center of the island.

When he first arrived on the island, he discovered a wise poisonous tree king.

"Human, you have already escaped, why do you still come here? Aren't you afraid of death?" A huge mouth appeared on the trunk of the Poison Tree King, opening and closing and spitting out human words.

"Indeed, you are intelligent." He guessed that the plants were being directed by someone because he noticed that their attacks were quite systematic.

"State your purpose, human." The Poison Tree King had already quietly released a colorless and odorless poison with strong penetrating power. It had discovered how troublesome Lin Yi was; his elusive abilities made it wary. That's why it was trying to stall for time by talking to Lin Yi, hoping to poison this little human brat.

Lin Yi continued calmly, "How did you develop sentience?"

"I was born with intelligence, do not confuse me with those inferior plants!" The Poison Tree King suddenly became agitated, its branches swaying incessantly.

Lin Yi frowned, looking at the suddenly enraged Poison Tree King. Why did it suddenly become so violent? Lin Yi was quite experienced in dealing with volatile old men. He drew his black sword, Annihilation, and unleashed a series of powerful slashes, severing each attacking branch until the Poison Tree King was completely chopped down. Only then did he slowly say, "Can you speak properly now?"

The Poison Tree King was feeling aggrieved. He had already begged for mercy when half of his branches were cut off, but the human kept cutting him down until he was bald.

"Why is my poison ineffective against you?" It discovered that its poison had no effect on the human in front of it.

"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to answer my questions," Lin Yi said expressionlessly.

"A few years ago, a fruit suddenly appeared under my tree. At that time, I was not a poisonous tree and had no intelligence. I instinctively absorbed the fruit and then I became the poisonous tree I am today. Gradually, I was able to think and gained intelligence. So I turned all the plants on the island into poisonous plants. Poisonous Tree King is the name I gave myself." Realizing that he was no match for the poisonous tree, the Poisonous Tree King bluntly revealed everything about himself.

Lin Yi guessed that the fruit absorbed by the Poison Tree King should be a Devil Fruit, but as for what kind of power it had, Lin Yi guessed it was the Poison-Poison Fruit, which was the same fruit that Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, ate later.

He wasn't sure if Magellan had eaten the Venom-Venom Fruit yet, but he was going to conduct an experiment. He remembered that when a Devil Fruit user died, their power would randomly regenerate in nearby fruits, and he wanted to test if that was true. Of course, he wasn't going to kill someone and just randomly place a few fruits on them, like in some fanfiction—that would be too simplistic.

He did this because he was quite confident.

He took out all sorts of fruits from his storage space and placed them around the Poison Tree King, as he had been preparing for this ever since the fruits awakened.

The Poison Tree King stared blankly at the ridiculously powerful human before it, completely unaware that its life was about to end, a fate sealed the moment it took the initiative to attack.

Having made all the preparations, Lin Yi activated his spatial ability, imprisoning himself and the Poison Tree King in space. He walked up to the Poison Tree King, and his jet-black fist struck the trunk of the Poison Tree King. His Armament Haki caused internal destruction, instantly robbing the Poison Tree King of its life force, and then he waited quietly.

In his perception, a faint energy emanated from the Poison Tree King's body. This energy was so weak that he would have been completely unaware of its existence if Lin Yi's Space Fruit hadn't awakened.

The energy first shot into the sky at a very high speed, almost to the point of teleportation, but it was blocked by the barrier of spatial confinement. After rushing in several more times, it seemed quite helpless and chose one of the fruits around it to rush into.

Lin Yi quickly picked up the chosen fruit. He couldn't remember what kind of fruit it was. The fruit looked a bit like a hand grenade. Slowly, strange patterns appeared on the surface of the fruit. The patterns were purplish-black and looked eerily eerie.

"Haha!" Lin Yi laughed happily, which meant that he would be able to obtain Devil Fruits continuously in the future.

After gathering the fruit from the ground, Lin Yi picked up the Devil Fruit that looked like a hand grenade and returned to the ship.

The crowd gathered around, not at all worried about Lin Yi's safety, their eyes all fixed on the strange fruit in his hand.

"Brother Lin Yi, is that a Devil Fruit in your hand?" Felina asked in surprise.

"Oh, you know him?" Lin Yi asked.

"I don't recognize it, but there was someone in the kingdom who ate a Devil Fruit before. According to him, Devil Fruits are fruits with strange patterns, so I'm guessing. Is this really a Devil Fruit?"

"Yes, this is a Devil Fruit related to poison. I found it on Poison Tree Island." Lin Yi didn't tell them that he could deprive others of their Devil Fruit abilities. It wasn't that he wanted to hide it, but he was too lazy to explain. He would definitely use this ability in front of them in the future.

"Is there anything you want to eat? But I don't know the power of this Devil Fruit, I only know that it's related to poison," Lin Yi asked.

Everyone said they didn't want to eat the fruit. Simon Dota was a fish-man and they didn't want to lose their ability to swim. Philina and Fiona felt the fruit wasn't suitable for them. As for Da Pan, Lin Yi wouldn't let him eat a fruit with such side effects.

"Alright, I'll put it away for now. We'll decide whether to eat it after we find the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. Let's continue on our way," Lin Yi said.

"Brother Lin Yi, according to the sailing route, we will pass through a continent that is frozen all year round. Should we stop there?" Felina asked.

"A frozen continent?" Could it be the iceberg where Green Pepper, the twelfth generation pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy, hid his treasure? Lin Yi remembered that after Green Pepper's head cone was flattened by Garp, it could no longer break through the Jade Iceberg, and thus could not retrieve the treasures he had hidden inside.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then it's a bargain for me." Sure enough, he heard Felina say that.

“Our next stop is the Land of Flowers, and we need to pass through this iceberg,” Felina said.

"Let's go find the treasure!" Lin Yi said happily.

“Treasure? Where did this treasure come from?” Felina asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out then," Lin Yi said with a mysterious smile.

Chapter 14, Eight Treasures Navy Green Pepper

After two days at sea, the Traveller came to a steady stop on the edge of a continent completely covered by ice. Ice cliffs, more than ten meters high, stood as if cut by a knife on the sea.

"It's amazing. The weather isn't cold, and there's no sign of the sea freezing over, yet the entire continent here is frozen solid," Felina exclaimed.

Lin Yi wasn't surprised, though. After all, he'd seen Aokiji and Akainu fight for ten days, turning an island into a world of ice and fire. An entire island being frozen solid wasn't exactly unbelievable in the world of One Piece.

"Let's go up." The ice cliff, more than ten meters high, posed no challenge for Lin Yi and the others. Lin Yi easily led everyone to the island. Simon stayed behind to watch the Traveler. There was a spatial marker left by Lin Yi on the ship, so if anything happened, Simon could return at any time by triggering it.

"What treasure are you talking about, brother?" Da Pan asked curiously.

"Haha, have you guys heard of the Eight Treasures Water Army Green Pepper?"

"I don't know," several people shook their heads, indicating they had never heard of it.

“That makes sense, after all, we weren’t even born when he became famous. Chinjao, also known as Cone Chinjao, is the twelfth leader of the Happo Navy, the official pirate force of the Flower Country. ‘Leader’ means their leader. Chinjao awakened all three types of Haki and is proficient in Conqueror’s Haki and Armament Haki. At his peak, he had a bounty of 500 million Berries.” Lin Yi introduced Chinjao to the group as they walked.

"Five hundred million Berries?" the crowd exclaimed.

“But what does he have to do with the treasure?” Felina asked.

"Haha, don't rush, I'll tell you slowly. Green Pepper likes to hide the treasures he plunders in a precious jade ice mountain on this frozen continent. Only his head cone can break through this precious jade ice mountain. The reason he is called Green Pepper the Cone is because he has cultivated an Iron Head Technique, which has shaped his head into a sharp cone shape, giving him great destructive power."

Sixteen years ago, he fought a fierce battle with Garp, now a Vice Admiral. In that fight, Garp punched Chinjao so hard that the spike on his head was dented. Since then, Chinjao has never been able to break through that precious iceberg, and his treasure remains there. We are now going to find Chinjao's treasure.”

"If you can't cut that green pepper, can you?" Felina asked doubtfully.

"You silly big sister, have you forgotten that your older brother has the ability of the Space Fruit? Taking the treasure will be a piece of cake for him." Da Pan was very confident in his older brother.

"Haha, Da Pan is right. Once we find the treasure, it won't be difficult to retrieve it," Lin Yi laughed. This continent is actually quite large; even with Lin Yi's current Observation Haki, he can't completely cover the entire continent.
