Searching for the Poneglyph

After all, although he knew Straw Hat Luffy, he never really thought about killing him!

If you ask why, it's still the same reason: he's too weak.

Are you sure this is what you truly mean?

"Certainly!"

"Are you sure you've never heard of the Straw Hat Luffy?"

"Sure!"

Seeing Ye Liangnai's resolute expression and calm eyes, which didn't seem like she was lying, Ace withdrew the Fire Gun.

He looked at Ye Liangnai, "If you don't know Straw Hat Luffy, why did you lure me to this island to fight? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Ace found Ye Liangnai a bit strange!

If you've never seen him and have no intention of harming Straw Hat Luffy, you should have said so earlier.

Why provoke him and bring him here to fight him?

Is he really a masochist?

"Ahem, wouldn't it be quite interesting to fight a powerful opponent like you?"

Ye Liangnai coughed, clutching her chest. "Your attack that pierced my Phoenix Form wings just now was imbued with Haki, wasn't it!"

Although Ye Liangnai didn't possess the Haki, he was 70% certain that the strange aura he had sensed earlier was the aura of Haki.

"You actually know Haki!"

Ace was somewhat surprised by Ye Liangnai's question.

It's strange that someone knows about this in the first half of the Grand Line!

I've heard a little about it!

"However, it would be even better if we could master it!" Ye Liangnai grinned.

"I can't teach you this, but you should grasp it soon..."

"Alright, I have to go. I still have people to pursue!"

Ace boarded Ye Liangnai's ship and signaled him to sail back to Water Seven!

Ye Liangnai shook her head, returned to her ship, and maneuvered it back to the Water Seven.

"Although I suffered a serious injury, I earned 500,000 Enhancement Points in one go, so it's not a bad deal!"

"Enhance the Devil Fruit ability!" Ye Liangnai thought to herself.

After enhancing his Devil Fruit ability, he will head to Alabasta to search for the Poneglyph.

Reaching Raftel alone is not enough; he must also unravel the secrets hidden within the Poneglyph in order to leave the permanent node of Raftel and return to the Shinobi World.

"Ding! This enhancement requires 500,000 Enhancement Points. Begin?"

"Start!"

The familiar burning sensation, the familiar sense of power!

Every cell in her body seemed to be cheering, giving Ye Liangnai an urge to moan uncontrollably.

This upgrade lasted about ten minutes.

When it was over, Yorana felt as if he had grown taller and his appearance had changed a little, whether it was his Ye Liangnai or not.

"It seems that the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to improve your strength!"

Seeing that she had only increased her strength by 500,000 Enhancement Points by 5 levels, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but feel a chill.

It seems that improving his strength is not as easy as he thought.

"But that's okay, isn't that what makes it more challenging!"

Alabasta, here I come!

Boarding the large ship, Ye Liangnai headed towards the distant Alabasta.

However, Ye Liangnai clearly underestimated this vast ocean!

However, just about five hours after leaving Water Seven, Ye Liangnai encountered an unprecedented storm and a torrential downpour on the vast ocean!

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

The wind howled, thunder and rain raged, the sky was as dark as ink, and all around was gloomy. Terrifying waves pounded against the ship, causing it to sway and creak precariously.

The ship, which was originally quite large, now looked as tiny as a speck of dust in the vast ocean.

Being tossed about by the waves and drifting along, completely unable to control myself.

"It seems we need to recruit a navigator first!"

If there were a navigator, he could predict the weather in advance and avoid the storm, instead of being in such a passive position as we are now.

"However, it seems that navigators are not so easy to find!"

Ye Liangnai gripped the mast, trying to keep herself from being thrown off by the rocking ship, and thought to herself.

Three minutes later!

The storm finally subsided, the sun shone on the sea again, and the salty sea breeze made people drowsy, completely obscuring the frenzied violence that had just occurred.

"However, this ship costs nearly 100 million, which is a bit expensive, but the quality is indeed excellent and it can withstand the test of wind and rain!"

After inspecting the hull and finding no damage, Ye Liangnai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Breaking news! Fire Fist Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, is clashing with 'Lightning Killer' Ye Liangnai, and the battle is fierce!"

Just two hours after Fire Fist Ace and Ye Liangnai's battle, footage of their fight was broadcast to all parts of the sea by a magazine called 'New Economy Newspaper Agency'.

This immediately attracted tremendous attention!

Alabasta!

After three days of bumpy travel, Ye Liangnai, looking utterly exhausted, finally arrived safely.

"A navigator! I absolutely must find a navigator!"

Ye Liangnai had never felt such a strong urge to find a navigator.

In three days!

He encountered a total of three storms, two rainstorms, and one hailstorm.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, he was in a rather disheveled state and not in very good condition.

Of course, his arrival did not attract any attention in this desert country.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

"Lightning Killer... Ye Liangnai, is a talented individual. I plan to invite him to become the new Shichibukai. What do you think, Aokiji!"

Sengoku put down the documents in his hand, looked at the lazy-looking general Aokiji, and said.

"If the Marshal thinks it's acceptable, then so be it. I have no objections!" Aokiji replied without looking up.

"Then would you please make the trip and personally invite him?"

Sengoku looked at Aokiji, hoping he would be free.

"Well, although I really want to refuse, since the Marshal has spoken, I'll reluctantly go!"

Aokiji removed the blindfold from his head, scratched his head with a troubled expression, stood up, picked up the Shichibukai appointment letter signed by Sengoku, and walked outside.

"Yoru... Ranana, your background is quite mysterious. I wonder what kind of guy you are!"

"Who are you? What do you want here?"

Ye Liangnai trekked across the Alabasta desert and arrived at the Alabasta Royal Palace, immediately arousing the guards' vigilance.
