"This one," Lin Ye said, pointing to an especially bright spot of light. "It's a Nameless Island near Laugh Tale. The Dimensional Barrier there is extremely weak, and the Anchor Stone's energy is enough to open a passage large enough for me to pass through."
"Laugh Tale..." Luffy murmured. "The waters around that place are incredibly dangerous, and the Navy and the World Government are bound to be watching it."
Lin Ye nodded. "Yes, the risk is high. But the other locations are either too far away or have Dimensional Barriers that are too stable, requiring even greater energy to break through."
Luffy pondered for a moment, then looked up with a grin. "Then it's settled! We're going to that island near Laugh Tale. I'm getting better at controlling it too. Look!"
He raised his hand, and purple Runes flowed from his arm to his fingertips, forming a small sphere of energy in the air. It hovered steadily, no longer flickering between bright and dim as it had before.
"You've improved a lot indeed," Lin Ye said with an approving nod. "Now try concentrating the energy into one point, then release it."
Luffy closed his eyes and focused on the center of the energy sphere. The purple energy gradually gathered inward, forming a dazzling point of light. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and the light instantly turned into a thin beam that struck a small target in the corner of the room with precision.
"That's awesome!" Luffy shouted excitedly. "I've finally figured out how to control it precisely!"
Lin Ye smiled and nodded, but his expression soon turned serious. "Next, we need to practice more complex techniques. The Five Elders have already begun moving, and I can feel the fluctuations at the Dimensional Boundary growing more frequent."
