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

As time passed, the situation in the North Sea finally settled.

The sky over the North Sea was gray and gloomy, seeming to foreshadow the coming of a great change.

The North Sea has been completely changed by war and calculation, and the arrival of this day is unpredictable but inevitable to many people.

The power of Bondiwold swept across the entire North Sea like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, capturing one island after another.

In the end, Germa 66 had to surrender. Although they had relied on advanced technology to resist hard, under Doflamingo's clever operation, the Vinsmoke family had to bow their heads.

On the surface, the North Sea is still ruled by the Vinsmoke family, but the one who truly controls everything is the new navy behind Jin'an.

All this happened so quietly under Doflamingo's careful planning.

The castle of Germa 66 still stands on the high ground of the North Sea, and its stern architectural outlines its coldness and arrogance.

Vinsmoke Judge stood on a high place in the castle, looking down at the sea that had just returned to calm, but his heart was like a surging wave.

He knew that after today, the North Sea no longer belonged to the Vinsmoke family.

At this moment, an invisible door quietly opened behind Judge, and there seemed to be a secret fluctuation in the air.

Gu Yan walked out of the door silently, his steps light and calm, his eyes passed through Jiazhi's back with a hint of irony.

"Vinsmoke Judge." Gu Yan's low voice sounded in Judge's ears, carrying an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Jinan stood still, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, sweeping across the luxurious conference hall where Jiazhi was.

There was a faint smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice: "The pride of the Vinsmoke family is only this much."

Jiazhi turned around suddenly, and when he saw Gu Yan, the expression on his face quickly changed from surprise to indifference.

Judge gripped the scepter tightly, his face gloomy and uncertain.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the reality was before him - although Germa 66's technology was advanced, it lost its deterrent effect in the face of true power.

He had already anticipated this moment, but when he faced it, he still felt a sense of unwillingness and powerlessness.

"You're finally here." Judge's tone was full of suppressed anger, but deep down he knew that the young man in front of him represented a force that he could not resist.

Gu Yan smiled slightly, his eyes calm and indifferent, as if he had seen through Jia Zhi's inner struggle. "It seems that you have understood the situation today."

Judge was silent for a moment, his eyes gloomy, his fists clenched tightly under his cloak, his knuckles making a crackling sound.

He asked helplessly in a low voice: "So, what do you want here? Humiliation? The joy of victory?"

"What I want is cooperation." Gu Yan's tone was calm, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Judge's heart. "You know very well that Germa's technology is valuable to us, and if you want to continue to rule the North Sea, there is only one way - to cooperate with us."

Judge's expression changed slightly, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

He knew he had no choice but to succumb to the power behind the young man in front of him.

He slowly raised his head and said coldly: "Germa 66 has already lost, but the Vinsmoke Family will not fall. I accept cooperation, but don't forget that a truly strong person will never be inferior to others forever."

Gu Yan chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mr. Jiazhi, you just need to remember that today's choice will determine the future life and death of your Vinsmoke family. We will not tolerate betrayal forever."

There was a flash of anger in Judge's eyes, but he knew that he was powerless to resist in the face of absolute power.

He managed to remain calm and forced a smile: "We, Germa 66, are not so easy to be manipulated. As long as we have our technology--"

"Technology?" Jinan sneered and interrupted Jiazhi.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he suddenly took a step forward. Jiazhi felt a chill instantly creeping up his spine.

Jin An's voice suddenly dropped. "Don't think too highly of your so-called technology. You are just the scum among the survivors, lingering on in the past. What do you think your technology can change? No, your only value is to make the situation in the North Sea less chaotic."

Jiazhi's face became even uglier, but he had no way to refute.

Jin An continued, with an intimidating tone in his voice that could not be ignored: "You can continue to maintain your status and keep your face, but don't forget, from today on, every inch of Beihai is under my control, and you must report your every move to us."

Jiazhi's lips trembled slightly and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he could only lower his head and silently accept the fact.

Jin An smiled faintly, turned around and left. A voice came from behind him: "Remember, Jiazhi, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. The era of you Vinsmoke is over."

As his words fell, his figure disappeared into the air again, as if he had never appeared.

Judge stood where he was, the scepter in his hand trembling slightly with anger, but he could only grit his teeth and face it all in silence.

The wind on the North Sea was still cold. Vinsmoke Judge stood there, staring at the horizon, but he knew in his heart that the North Sea no longer belonged to him and the road ahead was full of unknown dangers.

......

Jin An stood at the door of Germa 66's laboratory, quietly looking at the small figure inside through the glass window.

Sanji was just a little kid at this time, and his thin body looked particularly frail.

He was being forced to undergo harsh training, with a stubborn and unyielding expression on his face, his hands clenched tightly, trying hard to hold himself up and not be knocked down.

Jinan's gaze was deep, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

He didn't go in or interfere, but just stood there, staring at the child in silence.

He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

He understood the original history and knew what kind of pain and struggle this child would experience in the future.

The Sanji in front of us looks helpless and lonely. Although he has talented brothers, he has become an outcast and a shame to the family.

"Maybe... he deserves a different childhood." Jin An thought silently in his heart.

His eyes fell on Sanji's slightly childish face. This child was born kind and was destined to be in sharp contrast with his cold-blooded family.

The cruel environment of the Germa family is destined to forge a hard heart that should not belong to this age.

Jin An raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but in the end he just smiled indifferently and put his hand down.

"Child, your fate is much more complicated than you think." He whispered to himself, a trace of pity passing through his heart.

He knew that he had intervened in the child's growth, but it also required some tempering, just as he had always been in control of the situation - calm, objective, and trying to keep his distance.

However, Jinan also hopes that Sanji's future will be different, perhaps he won't have to be crushed by the heavy family burden, nor will he have to struggle in the darkness for too long.

"I hope you can seize this change in Beihai and live a different life." Jin An sighed in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes regained calmness and coldness.

He turned around gently, and his figure gradually disappeared into the air, as if he had never existed.

The space twisted, and after a moment, he had left the North Sea and disappeared into the vast sky.

This encounter, like a piece of dust in the wind, quietly and silently merged into the complex destiny of Jinan.

And little Sanji was still in that cold training room, facing the oppression of fate alone and stubbornly, completely unaware that a stranger had been silently watching him.

Perhaps, one day in the future, Sanji will have a different life.

But at this moment, he is still just a little kid struggling in the storm.
