After all, picking up traits would not bring the side effects of Devil Fruits.
A Logia user would definitely drop some good things for him. Even if it was an ability he did not want, he would not lose out if he dismantled it.
"Decided. I'll leave the Calm Belt first!"
Lin Ye flipped over and sat up. A trace of anticipation flashed through his eyes as he grabbed Enma, which lay beside him without a sheath, and swung it toward the island's forest.
Boom!
A black Flying Slash shot out, sweeping across the small island in an instant.
Boom!
After a moment of silence, the severed trees and rocks all cracked apart and flew into the air.
Lin Ye was not sleepy at all. His level-nine Mighty Physique allowed his strength and energy to recover extremely quickly.
Enma, one of the twenty-one Great Grade Blades, became a shipbuilding tool.
Lin Ye swung Enma in his hand, trimming the felled trees.
He did not know how to build a ship, but he only needed to make it according to his own ideas.
That Hawkeye guy could sail the seas alone in a small boat, wandering back and forth between the New World and the Four Blues. There was no reason Lin Ye could not do the same.
He remained busy for seven days.
Lin Ye pushed a huge, extremely ugly wooden raft into the sea.
The parallel logs had not even been stripped of their bark and were crudely wedged together.
Barefoot, Lin Ye leaped onto the raft and grabbed two enormous oars.
The oars were carved from two massive logs, each more than ten meters long.
The raft beneath his feet was also more than ten meters in both length and width.
These logs were mainly spares.
If the raft risked falling apart, he could remove some, adjust them, and continue sailing.
Lin Ye grabbed the two enormous oars and began rowing.
His sensitivity to force allowed him to quickly grasp the technique of rowing.
Armament Haki coated the two enormous oars.
The more-than-ten-meter oars were completely wrapped in flowing Armament Haki. Then Armament Haki spread beneath Lin Ye's feet.
He rowed while training.
That would definitely improve both his skill with Armament Haki and the amount he possessed.
Lin Ye swung both arms. The two enormous oars spun, and the raft beneath his feet shot forward with a boom.
Behind the raft, enormous waves dozens of meters high surged into the air.
Lin Ye's arms moved like windmills, pouring all that tremendous force into the raft.
At this speed, it was no slower than ships sailing with the wind in the New World.
The only thing that displeased Lin Ye was that after leaving the island's surroundings, the number of Sea Kings in the water increased.
The smaller ones were over ten meters long, while the larger ones stretched for hundreds of meters.
His Observation Haki even sensed gigantic Sea Kings over a thousand meters long in the deep sea.
What did these things eat to grow this large?
Lin Ye was rather speechless as Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.
The Sea Kings lurking in the sea, drawn by the raft's commotion, immediately scattered when Lin Ye's Conqueror's Haki burst forth.
As time passed, they would gather below again.
Lin Ye could only drive them away once more.
Upon the waters of the Calm Belt, Lin Ye rowed his oars and sped straight ahead in one direction.
However, compared to that speed, the Calm Belt's expanse was still somewhat too vast.
Grand Line.
Kaido had appeared again.
He appeared on the Grand Line and attacked quite a few pirates and Marines, seemingly venting his anger.
The Marines had no way to track down Kaido.
Meanwhile, Madman Lin Ye, who had previously fought Kaido, had completely vanished.
He should not have died.
The News Coo sent afterward brought back photographs from the chest of a dead News Coo.
In the photographs, Lin Ye carried a blade over his shoulder as he left alone.
But despite having just gained such great fame, there had not been a single scrap of news about him afterward.
No one had seen Lin Ye either.
Not only the pirates and Marines, but even Kaido was deeply puzzled.
After attacking pirates and Marines to vent his anger, Kaido returned to Onigashima in Wano Country.
Onigashima was quite far from Wano Country, and the current Onigashima was not yet what it would become in the future.
In any case, when Kaido returned and saw that Onigashima remained as it was, he knew Lin Ye had not come over and slaughtered the people left behind here.
"Mr. Kaido!"
Kaido reverted from Beastification and descended from the sky. Several children rushed over.
Every one of them looked pale and malnourished.
"Only you few are left?"
Kaido glared at the handful of children before him, his eyes widening.
"Mr. Kaido, you took everyone else out with you!"
A little girl wearing Wano Country clothing but nearly three meters tall hurriedly said.
"Maria, Mr. Kaido did not take everyone away. Some people ran off when they saw Mr. Kaido had not returned!"
A little girl in a puffy dress said with her hands on her hips.
"Bastards!"
Kaido flew into a rage upon hearing that. He remembered there had been more people on Onigashima.
However, the people he had taken out before had indeed mostly died. Even that guy King had died.
"Madman Lin Ye!"
Kaido gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"Mr. Kaido encountered an opponent? Then did Mr. Kaido win?"
A child suddenly asked.
"Bastard, of course I won... cough, cough. There was no winner or loser. That guy was not weak."
Kaido had just wanted to bluff when he remembered that the news had basically spread already.
If people found out he had lied, would Beasts Kaido have any face left?
"You little brats, train hard from now on. In the future, you'll be officers of the Beasts Pirates."
Kaido directly changed the subject, and as expected, he instantly shifted the children's attention.
"Whoa!"
The children immediately began cheering, raising their hands with incomparably excited expressions.
Kaido turned his head toward Wano Country.
He did not want to give up this place. Wano Country was ideally located, and it was also the only source of Seastone. He would never abandon his ambitions.
As for Lin Ye...
Thinking of Lin Ye's figure during their battle, Kaido's expression darkened.
That brat really was a Monster, a Monster among Monsters.
He possessed such strength at that age.
Kaido even felt that among everyone he knew, even Charlotte Linlin, who possessed the greatest talent and trained diligently from a young age, might not have reached such strength.
Kaido had a premonition that he would definitely face Lin Ye again in the future.
By then, Lin Ye might be even stronger. Even if Kaido transformed into a Dragon, he might not be able to avoid him.
It seemed he needed to work hard as well.
Kaido led the children back to their base. When he saw the base in ruins, as though it had been looted, Kaido became even angrier.
He could not deal with Lin Ye right now, but could he not deal with these people?
"Bring me wine!"
Kaido suddenly shouted.
"Uh, Mr. Kaido, all the wine was stolen."
Maria answered after hearing him.
Kaido's body stiffened slightly as he turned to look at the children.
"Stay here. I'll go find food for you."
As Kaido turned and left once more, his face grew darker and darker. By the time he walked out of the base, it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Those bastards truly did not know how the word death was written. They actually dared betray him!
With a roar, Kaido transformed into a Dragon and shot into the sky.
"Mr. Kaido seems really angry."
Maria said fearfully.
"It must be because he didn't get any wine," Ulti answered with a serious expression.
