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

Sengoku put the Den Den Mushi back to its place, and his expression looked even more serious.

He knew that there was more to this call than that.

The warning from the Five Elders clearly demonstrated their concern and dissatisfaction with Jin'an, and this concern undoubtedly put Jin'an at greater risk.

He rubbed his brows, trying to clear his thoughts.

Jin'an's strength and ability are unquestionable, but his style of doing things and his delicate relationship with the World Government make Zhan Guo worried.

The attitude of the Five Elder Stars has shown that any subsequent actions must be more cautious, otherwise, once the bottom line of the World Government is touched, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Hey......"

Zhan Guo sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

He knew that the future of the Navy did not only lie in how to deal with the threat of pirates, but also in how to maintain its position under the pressure of the World Government.

And Jinan is obviously a crucial piece in this game.

"Jin'an..."

He muttered to himself, looking out the window with a heavy gaze.

There were piles of documents on his desk, but his mind was no longer on them at the moment.

He knew that every next step would determine the direction of the future, and he had to be more cautious than ever before.

After the call with the Five Elders, Borsalino and Sakaski did not rush to leave the office.

They looked at each other silently, and similar doubts and confusions emerged in each other's hearts.

There was obvious dissatisfaction in the tone of the Five Elders, but what puzzled them was that the dissatisfaction was directed at Jin An, rather than the Whitebeard Pirates who should have been the focus of more attention.

Whitebeard's declaration of himself as emperor should have been an event that caused great turmoil in the world, but the Five Elders seemed indifferent.

Jinan quelled the rebellion in the West Sea. This action should have solved a problem for the World Government, but instead it was received as a severe reminder.

This contradictory attitude puzzled and confused both Borsalino and Sakaski.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, what is going on?"

Sakaski spoke first, his brows furrowed, his tone filled with suppressed doubt.

He couldn't understand the logic behind this, why the world government handled these matters in this way.

Zhan Guo rubbed his forehead, looking exhausted.

He was well aware of Sakaski's confusion and knew that this was a difficult question to answer.

But as the admiral of the navy, he had to give an explanation to his subordinates.

"World government requires balance..."

He said, his voice low and helpless.

When Borsalino heard the answer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile.

None of this was beyond his expectations.

The longer he stayed in the Science Corps, the more he saw the nature and methods of the World Government.

Balance is indeed what the world government has always pursued, but this balance often means sacrifice and compromise.

"We are just a knife in the hands of the World Government..."

Borsalino's tone was flat, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was stating a simple fact.

He stood up and bowed to Zhan Guo, his movements were slow and graceful, but with a hint of indifference, "I'll be leaving first."

Zhan Guo looked at Borsalino's back with mixed feelings.

He knew how much helplessness and cruelty were contained in Borsalino's words, and this was exactly what had been bothering him.

They are all sharp blades in the hands of the World Government, destined to serve as tools in the game of power, whether it is Jinan, Sakaski, Borsalino, or himself.

Sakaski still sat there, silent.

He had no place to vent the anger and confusion in his heart, and could only slowly digest it in silence.

He has always pursued absolute justice and could not tolerate any compromise, but at this moment, he found that the reality he faced was more complicated and cruel than he had imagined.

"The balance of world government..."

Sakaski whispered to himself, a determined gleam in his eyes.

This will not shake his faith, but will strengthen his determination.

No matter what the world government does, the justice in his heart will not change.

Looking at Sakaski's determined expression, Zhan Guo couldn't help but feel a little comforted.

He knew that despite the difficulties ahead, these young admirals would continue to move forward on their respective paths and support the future of the navy.

All he could do was try his best to protect them until the day he could no longer bear the burden.

......

Jin An stood at the door of his office and suddenly sneezed.

"Who is thinking about me again?"

he said to himself.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tian Yueshi in the office immediately put down the documents in his hand and walked to the door to greet him.

The two met again after a long separation, and the warmth between them instantly filled the air.

Tian Yueshi gently hugged Jin An and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Jin An showed a relaxed smile and shook his head:

"It's okay, maybe someone is talking about me behind my back."

When he looked at the moon in front of him, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

After not seeing each other for many days, the slight fatigue in my heart was comforted at this moment.

Tian Yueshi's eyes were full of concern. She knew that Jinan had been very busy recently, but she silently took on a lot of affairs so that Jinan could focus more on important decisions and actions.

This is the tacit understanding between them, and it is also Tian Yueshi's duty as Jin'an's good wife.

Jin An reached out and gently stroked Tian Yueshi's long hair, feeling the rare tranquility.

He knew very well that it was Tian Yueshi's silent support behind him that enabled him to navigate this turbulent world with ease.

The two smiled at each other, as if everything was explained without words.

"Nice to have you."

Jin An said softly, his words full of warmth and gratitude.

Tian Yueshi rested her head on Jin An's chest, feeling a sense of relief listening to the steady heartbeat coming from his chest.

She looked up at Jin An's face, with a gentle light in her eyes, and asked softly:

"How long can you stay at the headquarters this time?"

She understood that the higher the position she held, the more she had no control over her own decisions, and she always felt a little reluctant.

Jin An smiled slightly, lowered his head and gently scratched Tian Yueshi's nose, with a hint of pampering in his tone:

"There are no tasks for now, so I can spend some time with you."

He knew that such time was precious to them, and he also understood how much Tian Yueshi had given for him.

When Tian Yue heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and a sense of peace in his heart gradually spread.

She understood that when Jin An said this, he had tried his best to balance his responsibilities and his promise to her.

The two of them snuggled up to each other, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
