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

"It's ridiculous."

He sneered in his heart, with a cold light in his eyes.

He had seen through the minds of everyone here, and nothing could surprise or anger him anymore.

He was tired of these hypocritical appearances and the unbridled ugliness of human beings.

He stood there, taking in the noise and chaos around him, but his heart was dead silent.

There is no anger, no sadness, only deep fatigue and endless boredom.

He had lost all hope in this world and didn't even have the energy to be angry.

"I should leave here." Redfield decided secretly in his heart.

He no longer wanted to associate with these hypocritical people, nor did he want to be dragged down by the ugliness of this world.

He just wanted to get away from it all, away from humanity, and return to his lonely and peaceful world.

He raised his head slightly, a determined gleam in his eyes.

His body almost disappeared on the spot, leaving this disgusting place silently.

No one noticed his departure, no one even realized that this powerful being had ever been among them.

Redfield walked alone in the deserted mountains and forests, and finally felt a sense of peace in his heart.

He no longer needs to interact with others or face those hypocritical smiles.

He chose to stay away and chose loneliness, because only in loneliness could he find a moment of peace.

Redfield spoke softly to himself, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

He no longer had hope for change, nor did he have any illusions about anyone.

He has decided to give up this world and completely isolate himself from it.

"This world is beyond salvation."

......

As soon as Jin An received the news that he became the substitute general, he seemed to be driven by an invisible force and immediately rushed to Marinford without stopping.

He stood on the deck of the warship, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, he seemed to be worried, with a furrowed brow and a heavy gaze looking into the distance.

"Whoever wants to be the general can take the position. I don't want it right now."

Jinan whispered to himself, his voice revealing annoyance that was difficult to conceal.

He knew that once he became a general, he would have greater responsibilities on his shoulders and his actions would be restricted.

Now, he hopes to be able to accumulate strength freely during this period of time, rather than being shackled in a cage of power.

He knew in his heart that his current strength was far from enough to face such a powerful opponent like Im.

Although he has grown during this period of time, he also understands that he is not yet sure of confronting Im head-on.

Becoming a general means more restrictions and responsibilities, and the last thing he wants now is to be held back by these external constraints.

At least before he was fully prepared, he hoped to have more time to improve his strength and pursue the strength that could compete with Im.

"Power sometimes also means restrictions. Can this power come later?"

Jin An took a deep breath and looked up at Marinford which was gradually becoming clearer.

His heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he understood that power could bring more resources and support, but on the other hand, he also understood that this power would become a shackle that restricted his freedom of action.

Just as he was thinking, Zefa came over. Looking at Jinan's anxious look as if he wanted to fly to the Marine Headquarters immediately, he couldn't help feeling confused.

"You're still so troubled after getting promoted?"

Zephyr frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his tone.

In his opinion, Jinan's reaction was indeed somewhat abnormal.

After all, becoming a general is an extremely glorious and exciting thing for most people, but Jin An's performance seemed to be pushed into a fire pit.

"What are you worried about, kid?" Zefa couldn't help asking, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "This is a promotion, not an ascension to heaven. Am I crazy or can't keep up with the changes of the times?"

Jin An smiled slightly when he heard this, but there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his smile.

He turned his head to look at Zefa, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.

"Teacher Zefa, it's not that I don't want to be promoted, but this position of admiral... is not the right one for me now."

He sighed, his tone revealing helplessness, "Now I have more important things to do and stronger powers to pursue. If I am bound by this power now, I am worried that I will lose the motivation to move forward."

After hearing this, Zefa was silent for a while and finally understood Jinan's concerns.

He nodded, patted Jinan's shoulder, and his eyes showed some understanding and support.

"I see. It seems like you do have your plan. However, since Zhan Guo and the others have made their decision, you must face it bravely. No matter whether power brings freedom or bondage, how far you can go in the end depends on you."

Zefa's voice contained encouragement, but also a hint of warning.

Jin An nodded. He also knew that no matter what this power would bring, he had to go on.

His goal is not just power, but strength, the strength that is enough to make him invincible.

Zefa looked at Jin'an's slightly determined eyes and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

He nodded slowly, his eyes revealing deep recognition and expectation.

Jin'an is his most satisfied disciple. From the day he joined the navy, Zefa saw the potential in him.

Now, Jin'an has grown into such an outstanding naval officer under his training, and Zefa's pride and joy are beyond words.

However, as a master, Zefa understands Jin'an's inner world better than anyone else.

Although Jin An appeared calm and resolute on the surface, Zefa knew that there must be something hidden in the young man's heart.

Zefa's intuition tells him that what Jinan pursues is far more than power and status. His goals are more far-reaching, even involving the future of the navy and the world.

But Zefa didn't intend to ask too many questions.

He has always respected Jin'an's choices and believed in Jin'an's judgment and ability.

Zefa knows very well that everyone has his or her own path to take, and the path chosen by Jinan is destined to be extraordinary.

As Jin'an's master, all he could do was to silently support him behind the scenes, remove obstacles for him and provide the help he needed.

Thinking of this, Zefa's eyes softened.

He patted Jin An's shoulder gently, his tone full of trust and encouragement.

"Jin'an, no matter what's in your heart, I believe you will make the right choice. You are my most satisfied disciple. I hope you can realize your dream and don't let anything hinder your progress."
