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

"It seems like Lingling has run into a tough guy."

Kaido brushed the dust off his clothes, his eyes leisurely yet with a hint of coldness.

His gaze turned to the ruins not far away, where a dull sound was coming from.

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, Kuzan pushed away the stone that was pressing on him and struggled to stand up again.

His clothes had long been torn into pieces and hung on his body in a disheveled manner, but his eyes remained firm.

When Kaido saw Kuzan's figure, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but more of it was absolute confidence in his own strength.

There was a hint of warning in his voice.

"Join my pirate group. From now on, you can enjoy the freedom that everyone envies."

Kuzan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were firm and calm, and he asked back:

"Give up your navy status and enjoy freedoms built on the suffering of ordinary people?"

He paused, his tone full of contempt and determination.

"I'm sorry, I don't have this habit."

Kaido laughed loudly, his voice filled with arrogance and joy.

"You are so stubborn, hahahahaha..."

The laughter gradually stopped, and Kaido's expression became fierce, his eyes were full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.

"Then I have no reason to hold back."

After saying that, he instantly switched into human-beast form, his huge body shrouded in shadow, a mace in his hand, wielding a destructive force.

Kuzan felt the terrifying pressure from Kaido, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he did not flinch at all.

"bring it on."

He took a deep breath, mobilized all the strength in his body, and the cold air spread around him, preparing for this fierce battle.

Jin An once said that a teacher once told him that only domineering spirit can stand above everything else.

In the past, he didn't believe what Jin An said, because he had always been above everything else with his ability alone.

But this battle with Kaido made him realize that what Jinan said was correct.

Because even if he uses a fighting style that exchanges injuries for injuries, he can't hurt Kaido...

Kaido took big steps, the ground shook under his feet, and every step seemed like the earth groaning.

"Take my baton!"

He swung the mace, and the flames directly wrapped around the mace, creating a whistling sound and smashing directly towards Kuzan.

There was a flash of determination in Kuzan's eyes, he quickly dodged to the side and at the same time raised his hand suddenly, and a ray of ice rushed straight towards Kaido.

The collision of ice and fire stirred up bursts of white steam, and the breath of battle became stronger.

Kaido's attack power is amazing. When he swings the mace, it destroys everything he hits with overwhelming force.

Kuzan used his agile body to constantly dodge and counterattack. His movements were as swift as the wind, and the icy cold air cut through the air like a sharp blade.

This cold air, which can freeze people into ice at will, has no effect on Kaido.

The fight between the two was like two wild beasts fighting, fierce and intense.

Every counterattack of Kuzan is carried with the determination to die, while every blow of Kaido is full of destructive power.

"Do you think these little tricks can trap me?"

Kaido roared and swung his mace violently, directly shattering Kuzan's ice blade. Ice chips flew everywhere, as if there was an ice storm.

There was a cold light in Kuzan's eyes. He knew that he could not compete with Kaido with strength alone, and could only use speed and skills.

He suddenly leaped up, and the ice blade was like a flying sharp blade, piercing Kaido's vitals.

Kaido roared, his eyes bloodshot, and swung his mace to smash all the ice blades, but Kuzan took the opportunity to get close, condensed the power of ice on his fist, and smashed it hard into Kaido's chest.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Kaido's body shook slightly, but quickly stabilized.

He grinned grimly, reached out and grabbed Kuzan's shoulders, pressing down with force like a mountain.

"You are too weak!"

Kaido sneered and swung his mace down again.

Kuzan felt the huge force coming from his shoulder and his face turned pale, but his eyes remained calm.

He clenched his teeth, and the power of ice burst out from his body, resisting Kaido's oppression.

The two men were once again engaged in a fierce fight. The atmosphere on the battlefield became even more tense, with the air filled with the smell of gunpowder and icy cold.

Every collision sounded like the roar of thunder, and the aftermath of the battle caused the surrounding buildings to collapse one after another.

Kaido's wild laughter contrasted sharply with Kuzan's silence, and the battle between the two was like a fierce collision of two irreconcilable forces.

Both strength and will were demonstrated to the fullest in this battle.

......

On board the World Government ship.

Von Clay paced up and down the cabin.

As the ship got closer to the G5 branch, his uneasiness grew stronger.

Although he can imitate Jin An's appearance, he cannot imitate his strength.

Thinking of the dangers on the battlefield and the possible consequences of exposing his identity, Von Clay's scalp went numb and his heartbeat quickened.

"If I'm exposed, I'll be dead..."

Von Clay muttered to himself, cold sweat running down his forehead.

He clenched his fists, trying to calm his inner panic, but the anxiety was like endless waves, coming one after another.

Moreover, the fact that Jin'an needed him to replace his identity meant that the other party must have done something very important during the time he was replacing his identity, or at least something he didn't want the World Government to know.

In order to help Jinan keep this secret, he must think of the next countermeasures.

"..."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

The sound frightened him so much that he almost jumped up.

"Thanks for covering it up for me."

The voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of majesty that was inadvertently revealed.

Von Clay turned around suddenly and finally saw the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Jinan slowly approached him and patted him gently on the shoulder.

At this moment, his heart seemed to stop beating and his whole body froze in place.

"Lieutenant General Jin...Jin'an!"

A smile appeared on von Clay's pale face, and he tried his best to control his trembling voice.

"It's nice to meet you. This is what I should do."

Jin An in front of him was tall and straight, with a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything.

Jin'an's domineering aura came directly to his face, allowing Feng Clay to truly experience the majesty of this legendary strong man for the first time.

A complex emotion surged in Feng Clay's heart, a mixture of awe for Jin An and fear of the upcoming battle.

He forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and looked straight into Jin An's eyes, as if only in this way could he find a little courage.

"Lieutenant General, I..."

Von Clay opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He felt his mind was in a mess and all his thoughts became blurry.

Jin An seemed to see through his thoughts, patted his shoulder, and said in a gentle tone:

"Relax, you're doing great. I'll do the rest."

Feng Clay felt the trust and support from Jin An, and his inner anxiety was slightly relieved.

He nodded, his eyes becoming firm.

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Jin An smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Von Clay looked at his back and felt an invisible force.

Von Clay took a deep breath and returned to his original appearance, clenching his fists and preparing for the upcoming battle.
