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

Jinan's pace was still steady, and every step was powerful, but the heavy burden in his heart seemed heavier than before.

The G5 branch was right in front of him. However, in his eyes, the branch seemed to have become a place where countless dead souls gathered, and every broken brick and tile told the story of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers.

Finally, Jinan, Kuzan and others arrived at the center of the G5 branch.

There, where the headquarters used to be, now only ruins remain.

Jinan stood in front of the ruins for a long time, motionless, silent as a mountain.

He knew that the glory of the victors belonged to the living, but the names of those who rested here would be forever engraved in the depths of history.

Kuzan walked to Jin An's side, felt the heaviness in his heart, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice:

"We've done our best."

"I know," Jin An responded in a low voice, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the ruins, "but the price this time is too high."

"This is also because I wasted too much time. Obviously, the losses of this war can be further controlled."

"..."

Everyone present was silent, but there was nothing they could do, this was the way the world was.

Nothing goes as planned.

In the distance, naval soldiers were still busy searching for survivors in the ruins and sorting out the bodies of their comrades who could never stand up again.

Jin An looked at this scene and silently made a new vow in his heart - for the sake of those deceased heroic souls, he must become stronger and minimize such sacrifices in every future battle.

"No matter what, this battle is our victory," Kuzan's voice broke Jin'an's contemplation, "but we must remember that such a victory is not easy to come by."

Jinan nodded, and his heavy mood seemed to have become more sober.

He knew that as sailors, they could not avoid fighting, let alone sacrifice.

But precisely because of this, they must cherish every living person even more and guard the justice they believe in even more firmly.

With this grief and determination, Jinan, Kuzan and their group continued to move forward in the ruined G5 branch.

......

In the sky.

Morgans leisurely controlled the airship to hover over the battlefield.

In the goblet in my hand, the amber wine sparkles with charming luster in the sunlight.

He took a sip, feeling the wine slowly sliding through his mouth, bringing a slight aroma and stimulation.

“Fine wine and great news, what a perfect match.”

He whispered to himself, a meaningful smile on his face.

Morganse looked down at the battlefield below. The smoke was gradually dissipating, but the aftermath of the battle was still lingering.

In his eyes, the life-and-death struggle between the navy and the pirates was nothing more than a gorgeous performance, and he was the best audience for this performance.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle, accurately capturing every moment worth recording.

The thrilling showdown between Jin'an and Kaido, and the confrontation between Zephyr and Charlotte Linlin, have all become eternal images captured by his lens.

"My reputation for big news will grow even louder!"

Morganse was secretly pleased with himself, and had already pictured the headline of the next newspaper in his mind.

His mood grew even happier as he imagined how people around the world were shocked by this unprecedented battle.

“It’s a wonderful moment.”

Morgans took another sip of the wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and reveled in the satisfaction of the moment.

He controlled the airship, like a cloud drifting in the wind, coming and going freely.

He will not leave any trace in this dispute, but will only witness and record it all as a bystander.

And when the smoke of this war has completely dissipated, everyone will remember the report that caused a storm, and the mysterious and omniscient reporter behind the report - Morgans.

He watched with satisfaction as the battlefield gradually faded away, then flew higher into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

The periphery of G5 branch.

Von Clay dragged his bloody body and stood trembling in front of Crocodile.

His eyes showed fatigue, but more of satisfaction and determination.

"Boss, I have completed this mission."

His voice was hoarse, but it was filled with uncontrollable pride.

Crocodile raised his head slightly, and the cigar between his lips flickered faintly in the dim light.

He studied von Clay, a cold dignity emanating from him.

"Well done." His tone was filled with rare appreciation. "When we return to Alabasta, you can take your reward and rest for a while."

His words were brief but full of concern.

He now advocated even more the clear distinction between rewards and punishments that Jin An had mentioned, especially when he saw the loyalty and ability of his subordinates.

A smile appeared on von Clay's face. Even though he was exhausted, he still answered.

"It's all what I should do."

But he immediately frowned and whispered, "It's just that the people from the World Government have already left here."

Crocodile sneered disdainfully and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"Don't worry about those bugs. They can do nothing but disgust people."

There was a tone of disdain and contempt in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

He turned his gaze to the distance, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"We have more important things to do. The change of the world has just begun."

After hearing this, Feng Clay's fatigue seemed to be relieved a little.

He nodded firmly, knowing that no matter what the future held, he would continue to follow Crocodile's path without wavering.

......

A warship was speeding across the sea, heading directly for the G5 branch.

Doflamingo stood at the bow with a ferocious smile on his face and bloodthirsty eyes.

His cloak fluttered in the wind, announcing his arrival.

When his eyes scanned the scene before him and saw the miserable state of the G5 branch, his smile deepened, and a hint of deep malice flashed in his eyes.

His fingers moved slightly, and an invisible force instantly controlled a trembling pirate on the ship.

"Come and take a look."

Doflamingo laughed softly and hooked his finger lightly. The pirate walked in front of him involuntarily like a puppet, his eyes full of fear and despair.

"Everything that happened before our eyes was caused by your pirate group."

Doflamingo's voice was cold and cruel, carrying an irresistible oppression.

As he finished speaking, the silk thread between his fingers began to tighten gradually, and blood marks suddenly appeared on the pirate's neck, and blood flowed down the wounds like a stream.

The pirate cried bitterly and begged for mercy at the top of his lungs.

"I am only responsible for guarding Cake Island. These things have nothing to do with me! Please forgive me..."

There was desperation in his voice, as if he was grasping at the last straw.

But Doflamingo's expression did not waver at all, and the coldness and murderous intent in his eyes remained unchanged.

"If Charlotte Linlin and Kaido dare to attack the G5 branch, they should be prepared to have their home stolen."

His voice was low and cold, like a sentence from hell.

"You who are guarding the house also deserve to die!"

As he uttered his last words, the silk thread in his hand suddenly tightened, and the pirate's neck was cut off in an instant. Blood gushed out, and his body fell weakly to the ground, without a sound.

Doflamingo looked at the corpse in front of him, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, only coldness and ridicule.

He turned and looked towards the G5 branch, his smile becoming more ferocious.

He will bring these damn pirates to give his comrades in the G5 branch a final gift.
