Zhutian Panlong: They've all become gods, and they're only just joining the chat group.

Richard first led the group to an unnamed island. This was likely an unnamed island off the course of their route, deserted and uninhabited, showing no signs of human development.

"Why did you bring us here?" Xia Mi asked, puzzled.

"You'll see when we get on board." Richard jumped off the boat first, then headed towards the dense forest ahead. There was no one around, so there was no fear of the boat getting lost.

Although the others were puzzled, they chose to follow him. They hadn't walked far when they found a bright red fruit, similar to a dragon fruit, in a low-lying area.

"A Devil Fruit?" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"So this is a Devil Fruit? Your radar is pretty useful. Can you find any lone Devil Fruit in the world?" Xia Mi squinted, as if she had made a great discovery.

"What do you think? This thing is useless to us. If it's on our way, I wouldn't mind picking it up. If not, let's just forget about it," Richard said.

He then asked Lin Feng, who was standing next to him, "Can you tell what kind of Devil Fruit this is? I haven't watched much One Piece; I'm just a casual fan."

"It looks a bit like the Flame-Flame Fruit?" Lin Feng said uncertainly.

If it really is the Flame-Flame Fruit, then everyone has essentially stolen Ace's opportunity.

But so be it, who is Ace? I don't know him.

Judging from their travels, they might have already defeated the Celestial Dragons before Ace even set sail.

What does it matter what the plot is like then?

"Let's put it away for now and identify it in a Devil Fruit encyclopedia later. By the way, does anyone want to eat this Devil Fruit?" Richard asked.

"I've heard that Devil Fruits taste as awful as shit. I'm a little curious about what they taste like," Lin Feng said.

"How about you try a bite?" Xia Mi suggested.

"Fine, why don't you try a bite?" Raymond Lam retorted.

"I don't lack that ability. I have the power of bronze and fire," Xia Mi retorted logically.

"But you can't become an elemental, the Logia-type Devil Fruits here have the ability to become elemental," Lin Feng pointed out.

"Do I need that elementalization? Besides, elementalization doesn't make me invincible. In this world alone, there's Armament Haki that can counter it, and in all the universes, there are countless abilities that can counter it. Putting aside everything else, can elementalization make one immune to mental attacks?" Xia Mi said.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. Guina, put it away first," Richard said.

"Huh? I don't need this Devil Fruit." Kuina was a little flustered.

"You'll get used to it. It was found in your world, so you naturally have a share. If we needed it, we would exchange it for something else, but we don't need anything, so it's naturally yours," Xia Mi said matter-of-factly.

Ultimately, the idea of ​​mutual benefit among group members is not just empty talk; no one wants to leave a greedy impression on other group members just for such a small thing.

If that's the case, who would dare invite him to their world in the future?

Kuina nodded and put the Devil Fruit into her storage ring.

Having no further value on the island, the group turned and left.

A day later, a yacht sped across the calm sea, like a sharp sword cutting the surface in two. The two sections didn't meet again until some time later.

The group had now arrived in the waters near Alabasta.

The world of One Piece isn't that big; the original protagonists didn't even spend long sailing in their wooden sailboat.

They weren't even traveling at full speed; sometimes they would stop to fight pirates, and they even hunted a Sea King along the way—a few hundred meters long, but only a small one. Afterwards, the group started grilling the Sea King.

It must be said that this thing is indeed a great tonic, no less delicious than the meat of the King of the Land. But it is much larger than the King of the Land, and even its taste is extremely delicious. This world is truly full of treasures.

From now on, Kuina won't have to worry about lacking points anymore; she can just sell Sea Kings in the group.

No one kept the meat to themselves; they cut off a portion of the sea monster's flesh and distributed it in the group chat via red envelopes, so that those who couldn't join could also taste this rare delicacy.

Richard even tried to comprehend the laws of this world at one point, where the law of water was very active.

Richard's Water Release ninjutsu benefits greatly from the environment; a Great Waterfall Technique can feel like a tsunami.

He decided that this world should not use other abilities unless absolutely necessary, and should only use water-related abilities.

We're here to have fun, so it would be even better if we could have some unexpected gains.

Apart from that, they didn't get another Devil Fruit, since it's considered a treasure of the sea and very rare.

After docking, Richard dealt with another group of troublesome pirates and put the yacht away.

I'm used to it; every time I make an appearance, someone rushes to snatch it up.

In Lin Feng's words: "Activating the full-map taunt skill makes attracting monsters very effective."

Kuina was quite pleased with this situation. Aside from being somewhat dissatisfied with the weakness of the enemies, everything else was great. Traveling was comfortable, the food and drink were good, and it didn't waste any time. Plus, the enemies practically delivered themselves to her doorstep.

It was completely different from the grueling training she had imagined. But if she had to choose, she would definitely choose this kind of experience. Why make things difficult for herself when she could travel comfortably?

After disembarking, we saw a huge cat-like creature emerge from the sea in the distance, stirring up waves.

This should be the sea cat, the guardian beast of Alabasta. They are said to be symbols of good fortune.

The group was quite powerful, and they could easily tell that it was just a sea monster with the upper body of a cat.

However, this guy is a national treasure of Alabasta, so it's not advisable to kill him and try him out.

After landing, you first have to cross a desert, then visit the famous gambling city of Aruba, and finally go to the capital, Aruba.

However, walking there like that is too far. And nobody really wants to eat sand in the desert.

So Richard stepped in again, creating four steel behemoths, four-legged beast-shaped robots. Powered by magic crystal energy, they could reach speeds of around eighty kilometers per hour, and aside from some bumps, they were fine.

In just a few hours, the group would be able to cross the desert. They climbed onto the two-meter-tall robots and began their journey.

While traveling through the desert, we encountered a group of adorably ugly animals – the Kung Fu Manatee.

These guys love challenging strong opponents, and after losing, they'll pester you to become their apprentice. And so, the group was stopped.

After Lin Feng explained the characteristics of these guys to everyone, Kuina stepped forward; she wouldn't refuse any challenge.

"Eri, would you like to try?" Seeing that Erii and Fenrir were both eager to try, Xia Mi thought for a moment and suggested that Erii go ahead and play. As for Fenrir, she was afraid that he might not hold back and kill these kung fu manatees.

Without even drawing their swords, the two men quickly took down the group of kung fu manatees, one strike at a time.

When Richard went to the Dragon World, Erii didn't know how to use a sword. Even though Richard gave her the Kusanagi Sword, she relied more on incantations in battle. The Kusanagi Sword was more like an ornament to her.

Later, Xia Mi felt that with such a high concentration of White King bloodline, it would be a waste of her strong physique if she didn't practice swordsmanship. So she taught her swordsmanship, along with the martial arts manual left by Richard.

After two years of martial arts training, coupled with his superior physical abilities, he's quite formidable. I'd estimate his physical strength to be around a level seven warrior. His fighting spirit is still somewhat lacking, but that can only be addressed through consistent, gradual practice.

While she certainly can't compare to Kuina, Erii doesn't rely on swordsmanship. Her strongest skill will always be the Word of Judgment.

Just like Fenrir, although his physical abilities are also very strong, his strongest moment is definitely when he uses the Word of Annihilation.
