One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

The Grand Route begins at its starting point, the majestic Mount Livas (Upside Down Mountain).

The seven magnetic routes are like the choice of fate, extending from the top of the mountain and dividing the first half of the route into seven channels.

These seven routes are like the threads of destiny, and each thread represents different adventures and unknowns.

When sailors first set foot in this legendary sea, they can choose any route.

However, once the decision is made, one is destined to move forward island by island on that route until finally at a certain node, all routes converge into a single channel.

This waterway, where all routes converge, leads to the terminal of the Grand Route - Raftel, the legendary island.

On this very day.

At the exit of the waterway of Mount Livas, countless pirate ships appeared on the turbulent sea, and each ship was full of ambitious pirates.

However, among these ships, many more are broken wrecks in these dangerous waters.

Countless pirates who were once ambitious have now turned into ghosts on the seabed, and the wreckage of their ships quietly tells of the dangers of this route.

In such a tragic scene, more pirate ships continued to move forward regardless of the consequences.

The waterway outlet of Mount Livers is like an endless trial, attracting souls eager for adventure and wealth.

They knew that there were dangers ahead, but they could not suppress their longing and yearning for the great voyage.

After surviving a life-threatening situation and arduously crossing the treacherous waterways of Mount Levers.

The pirates finally breathed a sigh of relief, and cheers began to ring out on the deck.

They celebrated their first victory in this arduous journey with each other and drank liquor excitedly, as if they had already seen the glory and endless treasures of the future.

However, in the midst of joy and relaxation, a deafening cannon shot shattered all the beautiful visions.

"boom--!"

A huge explosion echoed in the air, and the pirate ship was immediately covered in fire and thick smoke.

The panicked pirates looked up hastily and saw the flashing artillery fire from all directions rushing towards them mercilessly.

"It's the Navy!"

A pirate who had just been cheering screamed in fear, his eyes bloodshot.

"There's a naval ambush around!"

The ship shook violently, the gunfire tore off the mast and the side of the ship, and the pirate ship sank rapidly with a cry of pain.

The cheers on the deck instantly turned into howls of fear and despair, and the pirates tried desperately to escape from this purgatory-like battlefield.

"Quick! Jump off the boat!"

A pirate leader shouted, his voice hoarse from the thick smoke.

However, just as he finished speaking, a shell hit his side. The huge explosion engulfed him in a sea of ​​fire, and his screams were drowned in the waves.

The artillery fire mercilessly covered the entire sea area. The pirates were like a school of fish trapped in a hunting net, helplessly facing this catastrophic disaster.

Every shelling was like a horn of death, mercilessly sending lives to the bottom of the sea.

On both sides of the waterway, the navy's gun mounts had already been secretly deployed and were carrying out annihilation operations with great efficiency.

The unprepared pirates were completely unable to resist this round of intensive bombardment. Their ships quickly disintegrated and sank in flames and waves.

On the distant horizon, more warships appeared.

They are like steel monsters, emerging from the silent deep sea, showing the ruthlessness and power of the navy.

There were constant sounds of cannon fire and thick smoke and dust. The navy had completely blocked off the waters, cutting off all pirates' hopes of escape.

Captain Jack stood on the tilted deck, his face red in the firelight.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his heart burning with resentment and anger.

"These cowardly navy men...!"

He gritted his teeth and said,

"No! We can't end this!"

However, the cruel reality left no time for him and his crew.

The shells fell one after another, the ship shook in the violent explosion, and finally let out a huge groan. The entire hull was torn apart, and all the cheers and roars were silenced in the ruthless sea.

The sea was in a mess, with destroyed debris and many lifeless bodies floating on the surface.

This cruel scene instantly shattered the pirates' dreams and hopes.

"Keep going and clear all hostile targets. This will be our first battle to clear the sea."

On the deck of the naval flagship, Sakaski was gazing at the distant sea while puffing out cigar smoke, and the curling clouds of smoke quietly dissipated in front of his stern face.

His eyes were fixed on the artillery fire and flames that erupted from time to time in the distance.

"This is already the ninth pirate ship today."

Sakaski's voice was low and cold. He slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and there was no trace of mercy in his tone.

Jin An, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly and also looked towards the battlefield.

"Yes, today's efficiency is OK."

Jinan and his men have been stationed here for some time, and today's harvest is considered a relatively large one.

The corners of Sakaski's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to smile.

“It’s never been this efficient before.”

Jinan raised his head and looked at the sunlight shining through the clouds, and his thoughts seemed to be led to a farther place.

There was a hint of emotion on his face.

"Ever since Roger opened that era, this sea has never been at peace."

He said slowly,

"This method of waiting and waiting will only be effective during this period of time."

Upon hearing this, Sakaski's face turned as hard as iron, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

"No matter how crazy they are, they can't escape our sanctions."

He said, his tone as cold and hard as an iceberg in the sea.

"But you know, this is only temporary."

Jinan continued,

"The pirates won't always come in droves like this. As time goes by, the number of pirates passing through here will gradually decrease. This highly efficient ambush tactic will not work in the long run after all."

The naval soldiers around were busy and operating the warships in an orderly manner, replenishing ammunition, and preparing for the next possible wave of attacks.

Everyone had a solemn and resolute expression on their face; they knew fully the significance of this war.

Sakaski exhaled his last puff of smoke, threw the almost burnt cigar into the sea, and turned to face Jin An.

"The challenges ahead will not be alleviated, and we must always be prepared."

His voice was deep and powerful, with unshakable determination.

Jin An looked at the iron-blooded commander in front of him, as if he saw the shadows of countless battles in the future.

He nodded,

"Order on the Grand Route will eventually be restored."

"For justice, we are fearless."

There was an unquenchable fire burning in Sakaski's eyes.
