Opponents from the New World
"Huh? I remember this guy being a pirate from the New World!"
Ye Liangnai and Nous returned to the Moby Dick that night and transformed back into human form, Ruri looked at their captives with surprise.
"You know them? Ruri!" Ye Liangnai asked upon hearing his question.
Ruri nodded and pointed to Ye Liangnai's opponent, saying, "His name is Spear of Domination Stro, Steel-Steel Fruit user, with a bounty of 692 million Beli, and the captain of the Spear of Domination Pirates."
"I remember he recently fought a fierce battle against Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates, and escaped unscathed. He's quite a formidable opponent!!"
Then he pointed to Nous's opponent, "This guy is called Mox, also known as 'Heavy Sword,' with a bounty of 468 million Beli. He's a power maniac and Ability User of the Ox-Ox Fruit, a mutated form of the Ox-Ox Fruit, in its Demon Ox form!"
"But something's not right!"
"Isn't the Spear of Domination Pirates always active in the New World, making a living by robbing all the wealth and value of past pirate crews?"
"Their third-ranking member, 'Flying Bird' Matlin, is also a guy with a bounty of over 300 million!"
Hearing Ruri's words, Ye Liangnai and Nous finally understood. "No wonder these two can use Haki!"
From the New World, that's right!
"But since they've delivered themselves to our doorstep, there's no way we can let them leave. Lock them up as a greeting gift to Sengoku!"
Ye Liangnai grinned, then looked at the group around her, "As for you..."
His smile widened several times over, prompting these people to quickly flee by sea.
"Captain, you've scared them all away!"
Upon seeing this, Nous couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Then there's nothing I can do!"
Ye Liangnai shrugged, then her expression turned serious. "Let's go. We'll dock, resupply, and then head straight to Luikavina Island!"
Nous returned to normal and said, "Understood!"
Upon landing on the island, everyone had already fled, leaving behind only a vast treasure, which Ye Liangnai managed to snag.
"It's decided, this island will be our base!"
Ye Liangnai planted her pirate flag on the island.
"That's good, now we have a place to settle down!"
After resupplying on the island and observing factors such as wind direction and weather, the group set off again after confirming that they would not encounter any extreme weather before reaching their destination.
"Enhance the Devil Fruit ability!"
Ye Liangnai silently recited in her mind that she had gained 80,000 Enhancement Points from fighting the Straw Hat Pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago, and 550,000 Enhancement Points from fighting A Xiu Stro, in addition to the original 300,000 Enhancement Points.
He now has a total of 930,000 Enhancement Points, which is enough to improve his strength.
"Enhancement of Devil Fruit ability begins. This enhancement will consume 800,000 Enhancement Points and upgrade the Devil Fruit ability to an advanced form!"
The moment the system's voice faded, a surge of intense heat flowed into Ye Liangnai's body, causing him to let out a soft cry of pain.
This force made him feel like he was being steamed alive.
He was radiating heat, his entire body was flushed red, which startled Nous, Jesus Burgess, and the others around him.
"Don't panic, it's my Devil Fruit ability being developed!"
Signaling them not to panic, Ye Liangnai leaped into the sky, transforming once again into Fire Phoenix, letting out a long cry in the air!
"Boom!"
The flames on Ye Liangnai's body suddenly turned a deep, dark red, and the temperature instantly exceeded one thousand degrees.
And it's rising at an alarming rate!
His physique was also growing larger and stronger, and a fierce and domineering aura descended, startling Nous, Jesus Burgess, and Ruri, who exclaimed, "Conqueror's Haki?"
They felt a sense of oppression and panicked, as if Ye Liangnai were their king and they had to submit to Ye Liangnai.
"Sizzle!"
The seawater was being violently scalded from a distance!
Even Nous and the others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, exclaiming, "The temperature is so high, it's like a mini sun!"
Ye Liangnai naturally noticed this scene as well, and soared up to a higher altitude.
Ye Liangnai soared in the air for ten minutes before landing.
The moment he regained his human form, he grew much taller and stronger.
Of course, their momentum has greatly increased!
"Enhancement complete. Congratulations, host, you have acquired the new skill 'Phoenix Hao Ri,' your strength level has increased by 5, and your basic physical attributes have been greatly improved!"

If we were to convert Ye Liangnai's current strength into a bounty, it would probably be around 800 million to 1 billion!
Luikavina Island!
They chose a port to dock at and then went ashore on the island.
"Be careful, this is an island teeming with dangerous creatures. Try not to trigger an outbreak of life on the island!"
Ye Liangnai used her Observation Haki to sense and probe, and found that the average bounty was around 200 million.
The strongest one is the Deer King, with a bounty of nine hundred million.
"Learn!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's warning, everyone responded and followed behind Ye Liangnai toward their destination.
"Roar~"
But how could their arrival not attract the attention of the monsters on the island?
Sure enough, in the shadows of the forest, pairs of fierce, scarlet eyes kept flashing, and muffled roars echoed continuously.
However, intimidated by the domineering aura emanating from Ye Liangnai, they dared not act recklessly and merely observed.
"Haha, these monsters are truly enormous, it's terrifying!"
Jesus Burgess looked at the enormous figures in the forest with a solemn expression on his face.
There isn't a single monster that's shorter than two meters!
On this island, even he, the tallest of them all, became tiny.
After all, he had already seen a male lion that was over ten meters tall, staring at them with a cold gaze.
Opposite the lion, a giant wolf that was taking a nap also raised its head, staring intently at them.
On the path directly in front of them, a group of giant ants, as if cast from steel, were constantly retreating.
