One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Lin Yi and Da Pan naturally wouldn't obediently let the giant snake swallow them. Da Pan held the coiled dragon staff and was about to give the snake's head a good whack.

Lin Yi quickly shouted, "Spare its life!" If Da Pan were to smash it down, the guy's head would definitely explode into a cloud of blood mist. This guy wasn't a bad snake in the story, and Lin Yi didn't want to kill it.

Although he didn't know why his elder brother had told him to go easy on him, Da Pan wouldn't argue with any of his brother's decisions. Instead of smashing, he swept the area, and with much less force.

With a "bang," the giant snake was swept away by Da Pan, and then with a "boom," it crashed into a collapsed building.

"Brother, why won't you let me kill him?" Da Pan asked curiously.

"This guy probably doesn't mean any harm," Lin Yi explained briefly.

The giant snake spat out a mouthful of blood, shook its somewhat dizzy head, and then hissed at Lin Yi and the others.

None of them understood what the giant snake was trying to say, but judging from its expression, it seemed to be somewhat aggrieved.

"Woof woof!" Bai Ze, who had been held by Chiyo, suddenly cried out twice, and Lin Yi, who was of one mind with him, immediately understood what it meant.

He just hadn't expected Bai Ze to be able to communicate with the giant snake. But thinking about it, it wasn't too surprising; as a mythical auspicious beast, it was reasonable for Bai Ze to know some snake language. It was just that Da Pan, that idiot, couldn't do it. He was disgusted.

It turns out the snake was simply awakened by the noise outside. It had only been out of its burrow for a short while, and had just yawned under a tree when it was struck by a stick—no, by a bear. It was so damn wronged.

When Lin Yi recounted the giant snake's accusations, Da Pan, the perpetrator, felt somewhat embarrassed, but at the same time, he said irritably, "Who told you to strike that pose? I thought you were going to eat us."

"Ooh ooh ooh," Bai Ze honestly translated Da Pan's words.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Upon hearing Bai Ze's retelling, the giant snake hissed excitedly incessantly.

"What does that mean?" Da Pan looked at Lin Yi, puzzled.

"Uh... it said that although it opened its mouth, it quickly closed it, and it had no intention of eating us at all. It also said that it had never eaten a human since it was born," Lin Yi said.

"This..." Da Pan thought for a moment, and it seemed to be true. So he approached the giant snake with embarrassment and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Snake, I apologize for my rude behavior. Please forgive me, Old Pan, this once. I'll treat you to a whole roasted lamb." As he spoke, he took out a whole roasted lamb from his storage token and threw it to the giant snake.

Perhaps sensing Da Pan's sincerity, the giant snake opened its mouth wide, caught the whole roasted lamb, and swallowed it whole with a gulp.

"Hiss (I forgive you)"

"Haha, that's good. We've become friends through this fight. What's your name?" Hearing that the snake had forgiven him, Da Pan was very happy and asked the snake's name.

“Hiss (My name is Nora),” said the giant snake Nora.

Upon hearing the giant snake's self-introduction, Lin Yi recalled that this creature seemed to have many things inside its body, and that a piece of land on Bika Island had been bitten off by something. Could it be that this creature had bitten it?

So Lin Yi asked the giant snake Nora, "Nora, have you ever been to a place called Bica?"

"Hiss, (I've been there, what's wrong?)" The giant snake Nora looked at Lin Yi in confusion.

"Did you bite into a boulder with writing on it on Bika?" Lin Yi asked.

“Hiss (I don’t know, but sometimes when I eat, I accidentally swallow other things along with them)” the snake Nora thought for a moment and said.

"Are those things still inside your body?"

"Hiss (I spat some out, some are still inside my body.)" the giant snake said honestly.

"Can you let me in and take a look?"

“Hiss (Okay)” the giant snake Nora said readily.

"Haha, thanks. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight," Lin Yi said, patting the snake Nora on the head.

This time, Lin Yi only brought Robin into the body of the giant snake Nora, since having more people wouldn't make a difference.

Nora opened her snake mouth. As a mutant, Nora's snake mouth didn't have any strange smell. After Lin Yi and Robin entered, a dark passage appeared in front of them. Without hesitation, the two went in.

The passage wasn't damp and slimy as I'd imagined; on the contrary, it was quite dry. Perhaps this passage was separate from Nora's feeding passage.

After walking for a short while, a space the size of two rooms appeared in front of them, and the space contained all sorts of things, the most eye-catching of which were piles of glittering gold.

However, Lin Yi's target was not the gold, but a stone tablet in the corner. Although it was called a stone tablet, its material was a special mineral, which was probably why Nora hadn't spat it out.

The stone tablet was covered with dense text, which was different from the text in the historical records. Lin Yi looked at Robin, hoping she could recognize it.

But Robin shook his head, indicating that he didn't recognize the script either.

Lin Yi was somewhat disappointed by this.

“Although I can’t decipher these words yet, I’ve seen this script before. Give me some time, and I can translate it,” Robin suddenly said with a smile.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi knew he had been tricked. All he had to do was forget about finding the Poneglyphs. This woman really held a grudge.

Without touching anything else, Lin Yi reasoned that since Nora hadn't vomited these things, they must be things she liked, and Lin Yi wouldn't take what belonged to her. Lin Yi put away the Lin Stone Tablet and left Nora's body with Robin.

Chapter 58 Leaving the Sky Island and Arriving at Water Seven

After finding the stone tablet inside the giant snake Nora, Lin Yi's trip to the Sky Island can be considered a complete success.

That night, Lin Yi kept his promise and treated Nora to a feast with plenty of food from the lower realms.

The next day, the group bid farewell to the reluctant Nora and headed to Enel's former lair. This time, they were there to find the gold that Enel had taken. Although he wasn't short of money, they figured they might as well take the gold that was right in front of them.

Sure enough, beneath Enel's palace, there was a simple underground space where a large amount of gold was haphazardly placed, along with an exquisite box.

Lin Yi opened the box with some curiosity and found a stack of papers with pictures inside. He picked up the papers and started looking at them.

"Brother Lin Yi, what is this drawing?" Felina asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"It's a design blueprint for a spaceship," Lin Yi said with a smile, handing over the blueprints.

Upon hearing that it was a spaceship design, Felina was immediately disappointed. Making a ship fly was something anyone could do.

The matter was finally completed smoothly. Without any delay, Lin Yi and the others quickly packed up all the items. Once everything was ready, they rushed towards the end of the sky island without stopping.

But before leaving, Lin Yi had one last thing to do, and that was:

"System sign in."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in on Sky Island and have gained 8997 Prosperity Points and the Eye of Judgment. Items have been distributed. We wish you a pleasant life."

Huh! Something's here. What the heck is this Eye of Judgment?

Lin Yi quickly examined the Eye of Judgment.

The Eye of Judgment: Formed from a special rule of heaven and earth, it can merge with the host's eyes, allowing the host to see the good and evil of others.

"Holy crap, Brother Tongzi, when did you become so powerful? You even managed to get your hands on the rules of heaven and earth?" Lin Yi exclaimed in shock. Brother Tongzi had given him good things before, but those things were generally normal. This time, the reward was a bit excessive.

"Host, please don't look like you've never seen the world before. This system has traversed so many eras in the system world, how could it survive without some good stuff?"

"Then why didn't you give it to me before?"

"Things are all random, and some things have a very low probability of appearing, so please don't have these unrealistic ideas, thank you."

"Haha, just kidding. Brother Tong is my dearest friend and family, how could I blame you?" Lin Yi chuckled mischievously in his mind.

"Please stop looking so worthless, it's disgusting."

"Okay, Brother Tongzi, how do I fuse this Eye of Judgment?" Lin Yi asked seriously.

"The host can simply think 'merge' in their mind."

"Fusion"

Lin Yi waited for a while, but nothing happened. He couldn't help but ask in his mind, "Has Brother Tongzi merged yet?"

"The host can view their own attribute panel."

Lin Yi quickly brought up his attribute panel, and sure enough, he had a new innate ability under Spatial Mastery: Eye of Judgment.

"Not bad, not bad." Lin Yi put away his attribute panel with satisfaction, his face beaming as if he had just eaten bee droppings. He walked ahead of the group, which amazed Da Pan and the others, who all wondered if their big brother/captain had something good going on.

After a difficult journey, they finally reached the edge of the sky island. Standing here, they could overlook the surging, boundless sea below. Lin Yi calmly took out the Silver Dragon from his storage space. The moment this cool-looking ship appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone boarded the Silver Dragon, and once everyone was steady, Dotai skillfully took control of the ship. With his maneuver, the Silver Dragon shot off like an arrow from a bow, leaping sharply from the edge of the floating island! The sudden drop made many people's hearts race, but fortunately, they were all seasoned veterans and quickly regained their composure.

Just then, Felina, who had been waiting on the sidelines, made her move without hesitation! Her small, delicate hands moved gently, like butterflies in flight.

In an instant, clusters of pure white clouds appeared around the Silver Dragon, surging in from all directions with lightning speed. Like well-trained soldiers, they swiftly and precisely converged at the bottom of the Silver Dragon.

These clouds, though seemingly soft and light, actually possessed an inexhaustible and immense power. They tightly held back the rapidly falling Silver Dragon, causing its meteor-like descent to gradually slow down.

Thanks to Filina's Devil Fruit ability, the Silver Dragon didn't need to rely on external aids like balloons and octopuses like Luffy and his crew. They could easily and safely return to the vast ocean.

Compared to the previous strenuous effort to lift the Silver Dragon, simply keeping it from falling was much easier this time. Because of this, Filina didn't experience the exhaustion she had previously suffered from overexertion. Seeing this, everyone on board breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching the Silver Dragon slowly descend, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a small sky island below the main sky island, and that there seemed to be a group of meteorologists there. However, when he scanned his surroundings, he couldn't find any trace of the small sky island, which made Lin Yi somewhat disappointed. He had been hoping to buy some small spaceships from these people.

Because of its slow speed, it took more than an hour for the Silver Dragon to return from an altitude of 10,000 meters to the familiar sea.

"Haha, I'm finally back!" Da Pan shouted excitedly.

"What's wrong? Were you unhappy on the Sky Island?" Lin Yi couldn't help but find Da Pan's expression amusing.

"No, there are still a lot of fun things to do on the Sky Island, but there's always a feeling of discomfort up there," Da Pan said with a somewhat simple and honest expression, scratching his head.

"Ah, I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I didn't expect you to feel it too, Boss Pan," Kerry said in surprise. He had thought it was because he was weak.

"I also have this feeling."

"I have one too," everyone chimed in.

"Sky Island is located 10,000 meters above the ground. At such an altitude, the air becomes extremely thin, and people's physical abilities are greatly reduced due to the lack of oxygen, which is why you feel a sense of oppression," explained Robin, who is the most cultured among them.

"I see, Robin-neechan knows so much!" Reiju said with a hint of admiration.

"Haha, that's what happens when you guys don't read enough books," Lin Yi laughed.

"You don't know either?" Fiona retorted without any politeness.

"How do you know I didn't know? I just didn't say it," Lin Yi retorted. How could he admit to being uncultured? Didn't he, a dignified captain, have any pride?

Fiona rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to leave this shameless guy.

After a period of playful banter, the group remembered their business and decided to head to their next destination.

"This time we're going to Water City," Lin Yi said to the group.

Everyone had no objection to Lin Yi's decision, so after storing up the required magnetic force, the Silver Dragon headed straight for Water Seven.

Just as the Silver Dragon was traveling halfway through its journey, a long, winding waterway, like a giant dragon, suddenly came into their view and instantly attracted their attention.

"Brother, come and see! What is that thing?" Da Pan stood at the bow of the boat, his face full of surprise, shouting at the top of his lungs. As he shouted, he gestured wildly, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

Hearing Da Pan's excited shouts, Lin Yi, who had been leisurely reclining in a deck chair reading a magazine, couldn't help but feel curious. He quickly put down his book, got up, and walked towards where Da Pan was. After reaching Da Pan's side, he looked in the direction the latter was pointing.

A long, seemingly endless railway track lay quietly across the shimmering sea, like a mysterious celestial road. Suddenly, a deep rumble grew louder as it approached, and then a train billowing white smoke slowly came into view. The train looked somewhat old, its carriages slightly worn, yet it still exuded a unique charm. It traveled leisurely along the tracks, the clanging of its wheels against the rails echoing across the vast sea, adding a touch of unusual life to this tranquil area.

Meanwhile, Felina and the others, who were busy inside the cabin, were also attracted by Da Pan's high-decibel shouts. When they rushed to the bow and saw the incredible scene before them, everyone's face showed utter astonishment. After all, for most people, the ability of a train to freely traverse the turbulent sea was an unimaginable and inconceivable thing, completely beyond their previous understanding.
