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

Princess Yiji looked at the direction where Jinan disappeared in an instant, was slightly stunned, and a sense of helplessness and loss surged in her heart.

Before she could express her gratitude, the other person had already gone away.

She sighed softly and prayed silently in her heart that everything would go well for Jin An.

The little mermaid Bai Xing, who was standing nearby, stared at the place where Jin An disappeared, with endless admiration and longing in her eyes.

Her big eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky at this moment, as if she had seen some great miracle.

She couldn't help but exclaimed softly:

"Amazing."

The voice was full of respect and admiration for Jin An.

Princess Otohime looked down at her daughter, and seeing her face full of admiration, she couldn't help but smile gently.

She was comforted by Shirahoshi's innocence and purity, and she became more determined in her mind - no matter what, she must protect this pure daughter and the sea she cherished.

Although Princess Yiji felt a little disappointed by Jin'an's departure, she also understood that people like him had more important things to accomplish.

She watched him go away, praying silently in her heart, wishing him a safe journey and that this sea would be more peaceful because of his presence.

As Jinan quickly traveled through space, the thought of using his Observation Haki to detect what Basque Jot had done flashed through his mind.

He finally remembered why he felt Basque Chote looked so familiar. It turned out that he was an old acquaintance.

"I didn't expect that this guy was not captured and pushed into the city, but instead joined some organization."

"Will Blackbeard feel disappointed at losing this subordinate?"

When he reappeared, there was no trace of Fishman Island.

Jin An stood on a high ground, overlooking the surrounding scenery, with the scenery in front of him reflected in his eyes.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze penetrating through the layers of sea fog, staring into the distance.

His sight fell on a pirate ship that had just emerged from the sea. The ship was wrapped in a thick coating, as if it had suddenly jumped into the light from the shadows of the deep sea.

The water droplets on the hull reflected silver light in the sunlight. Basque Choate stood on the deck, looking a little tired, but more relieved.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to fill his chest with the free air. After a long sigh, a twisted smile appeared on his face.

“Freedom smells so sweet.”

He murmured to himself, his voice revealing a kind of satisfaction and intoxication that came from having experienced life and death for a long time.

Only after experiencing the hardships of life and death can you better appreciate the joy of living in this world.

He then took out a Den Den Mushi from his worn pocket, and gently stroked the strange patterns on it with his fingers, with a hint of coldness and determination in his eyes.

"This is Basque Choate,"

He whispered to the Den Den Mushi, with a hint of reluctance and helplessness in his tone.

"This mission at sea has failed. I am willing to go back and accept the punishment."

A low response came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Basque Jot narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully to every word.

When the other party's voice stopped, Basque Jhoette nodded with a grim expression, as if he had accepted his fate.

"I'll be right back."

After he finished speaking, he put the Den Den Mushi back into his pocket and clenched the pocket opening with his fingers, as if he wanted to hold on to that trace of cold determination as well.

He stood alone on the deck, with no one around him, and only the sound of sea breeze and waves echoing in his ears.

Although he was alone now, it was not the first time he had sailed alone on this vast ocean.

Years of pirate career have made him accustomed to loneliness and danger.

He turned and walked to the rudder, skillfully adjusted the direction, and began to steer the ship towards the distant destination.

At the same time, Jin An stood in the distance, quietly watching the pirate ship moving further and further away, with a sneer in his heart.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, fixed firmly on the ship.

Although Basque Jot had escaped from Fishman Island, he could not escape Jin'an's control.

Jin An did not take action immediately. He followed quietly behind the ship, like a silent shadow, following behind silently.

For him, the chase was a game of cat and mouse, and he was patient enough to wait for the best moment to completely capture the prey that was trying to escape.

His footsteps were light, as if blending into the air, and every movement was precise and silent.

He knew that Basque Choate's escape was only temporary, and he would not let this guy get away easily. Now he did not expect him to go back and tip off the mysterious organization.

The sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it the salty smell of sea water. Jin An's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised in an icy arc.

The prey was moving farther and farther away from his sight, but he kept a distance from Basque Chote in this silent chase.

Basque Jot sat on the deck of the pirate ship, leaning lazily against the side, casually grabbing a piece of grilled fish beside him with one hand, with a greasy gleam at the corners of his mouth.

His tongue licked his lips restlessly, enjoying the food in front of him contentedly.

The sea breeze gently brushed across his face, bringing a hint of salty moisture, and the sunlight shone on his rough skin. The whole scene seemed like a quiet and peaceful place.

But even as he was enjoying this moment of leisure, the dark cloud in his heart could not be dispelled.

Basque Chote chewed the fish slowly, his eyes gradually becoming dim.

Thinking of his recent failure on Fishman Island, his smug look was immediately replaced by resentment and regret.

He could almost feel the soft touch of the beautiful mermaid who was originally within his reach, and even imagined the praise he would get when he presented her to the leader, but all this was destroyed in an instant.

"Damn guy!"

He gritted his teeth and slammed his fists on the wooden deck, making a dull sound.

Thinking of the leader's cold and ruthless eyes, his heart suddenly tightened and a chill ran up his spine.

Although he always appeared arrogant on the surface, only he knew that the fear deep in his heart never disappeared when facing the leader of that organization.

"This mission was originally a good opportunity to expand the organization's strength..."

He talked to himself in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and self-blame.

The organization urgently needs to expand, but it is very difficult to find suitable new people.

He tore off a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, but found that the food had lost its original deliciousness.

He knew all too well the chief's punishment for failure, which was cruel and merciless.

Every time he thought of that cruel method, his stomach felt like it was churning.

He threw the grilled fish in his hand aside irritably and looked up at the distant sea level, trying to use the boundless blue to calm the uneasiness in his heart.

But that trace of anxiety and fear was like a poisonous snake that tightly wrapped around him and could not be dispelled.

However, Basque Chote had no idea that danger was approaching quietly.

Behind him, on the tranquil sea, Jin An's figure was following him silently.

Basque Chote was still regretting his greed and failure, but he was completely unaware that a silent hunt had quietly begun in a place he could not see.

And that person was the powerful enemy from whom he had just escaped.
