章 79: Chapter 79: The Slave Ship Encounter
"Ah, you..."
Before Yadina could react, she found herself in Li Yuan's arms, the towel in her hand falling away as her limbs went limp.
Having just woken up, Li Yuan was craving nourishment, and with Yadina presenting herself so invitingly, he had no intention of refusing.
A fierce battle soon ensued, and after an hour, Yadina, exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.
"Ah, that felt great!!"
"Steel Bone's Haki is truly strong. Once my Armament Haki reaches a higher level, I'll definitely get my revenge!"
After the battle, Li Yuan stepped out of the cabin, deep in thought.
If his Armament Haki reached a higher level, he would be able to withstand Steel Bone's external Haki damage. As long as he wasn't directly hit by a punch, it would be within his tolerance.
He had lost so embarrassingly this time primarily because his Haki and physical strength were too weak.
After all, he had been at sea for less than a year, and his Armament Haki had only been awakened for less than a year; it needed time to accumulate.
"Honestly, waking up with such enthusiasm."
Lazili watched Li Yuan emerge and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Since learning about her pregnancy, she hadn't fought with Li Yuan again. For a girl who had just begun to experience combat, this was quite difficult to endure.
"Once you give birth to our little baby, I'll make sure you feel lively too."
Li Yuan teased, admiring Lazili's perfect features. Even while pregnant, her charm remained unaffected.
"Master Brother, the grilled meat is here!"
At that moment, Karu pushed in a cart full of grilled meat.
"This grilled meat looks amazing!"
Seeing the cart of grilled meat, Li Yuan immediately dug in, ready to feast.
His body was in desperate need of nutrition, and one cart of meat wouldn't be enough; there were still several carts waiting for him.
"Revived!"
After eating for half an hour, Li Yuan finally felt full, replenishing all the energy he had lost.
"Master Brother, where are we headed next?"
Kano asked.
"Xiaqi, make arrangements. Let's see which route is best for us to pass through the Calm Belt back to the New World. This area is controlled by the Navy and World Government, and it's too dangerous."
Li Yuan replied.
He could handle Steel Bone, but if another top-tier fighter showed up, they would be in trouble.
Though the Navy's top-tier forces were restrained by the Rocks Pirates in the New World, he hadn't forgotten that there was still a World Government behind the Navy.
He wasn't strong enough yet, so it was best not to provoke the World Government for now.
"I've already planned ahead. Kano, let's navigate along Route 1."
Xiaqi produced a sea chart and handed it to Kano.
While Li Yuan was asleep, Xiaqi had already thought about their next journey and prepared multiple routes, just waiting for Li Yuan to make a decision.
The following days were peaceful and uneventful, with nothing out of the ordinary occurring.
Li Yuan focused on his training, familiarizing himself with the power of a Great Swordsman.
And then there were the daily activities with Yadina, as she was eager to have a child to accompany her.
Seeing that both Lazili and Xiaqi were pregnant with Li Yuan's children, the motherly instincts within Yadina surged, and she wanted a child of her own.
Moreover, Yadina didn't want to be just a pretty face; she wanted to help Li Yuan, so she began learning to become a doctor alongside Lazili.

"A strong aura of despair!!!"
After sailing for several days, while Li Yuan was training normally, his Observation Haki sensed that familiar aura of despair from afar.
"A slave ship?"
Li Yuan looked toward a large ship approaching them. Even without using his eyes, his Observation Haki clearly detected that there were many slaves aboard.
"Karu, let's go take a look!"
Li Yuan called to Karu.
"Yes, Master Brother!"
With that, Karu transformed into a giant white tiger over six meters tall and took to the sky.
Li Yuan leaped onto Karu's back, enjoying the thrill of riding a flying mount—it was quite an exciting experience.
"Boss, bad news! A giant tiger is flying toward us!"
On the slave ship, a small henchman shouted with a telescope in hand.
"What? Let me see who dares to block our ship!"
The leader, Danton, snatched the telescope away.
"Rocks Pirates' cadre Li Yuan?! How could we run into him?!"
Danton's face changed dramatically upon recognizing Li Yuan standing atop the giant tiger.
"Not good! Quickly send the message out for help!"
Danton exclaimed in panic.
"Buzz!!!!"
However, before he could take any action, a red and green Conqueror's Haki surged forth, carrying a sharp sword intent.
On the entire slave ship, aside from the slaves, everyone else was overwhelmed by the Conqueror's Haki and fainted, including Danton, the boss.
Li Yuan had been keeping a close watch on the situation with his Observation Haki. The moment Danton recognized him, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to incapacitate everyone.
"I didn't expect this to be a World Government slave ship. They must be capturing slaves for the Celestial Dragons."
Once aboard the slave ship, Li Yuan discovered that the leader of the group was a CP member. Knowing the nature of the Celestial Dragons, he understood the situation.
"Karu, kill everyone except the slaves and throw their bodies into the sea."
Li Yuan ordered before heading further into the ship.
Inside, he found a number of slaves—around fifty people.
Some were young, beautiful women, some were strong men, some were pirates, and there was even a Fish-Man!
"You were all captured as slaves. The ones who captured you are now dead."
"And I am Li Yuan, a cadre of the Rocks Pirates. From now on, you will all be part of my crew, so I'll grant you freedom from your slave status. You'll have to work well on my ship!"
Li Yuan addressed the slaves before him.
"Please! Can you let me go? My father is a wealthy merchant; he has a lot of money!"
One young, beautiful woman gathered her courage and pleaded.
"Don't mention it. For slaves who refuse to submit to me, there's only one fate!"
Li Yuan flicked his finger, instantly ending the naive woman's life.
"I'll give you a chance to take the easy way out. If anyone doesn't want to follow me, just end it yourself. I'll throw your bodies into the sea to feed the fish."
Li Yuan was not a good person who would simply release captured slaves.
At least not now. Doing so would expose his location to the World Government and the Navy.
