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

The night in Ryugu Castle is quiet, but it seems to have changed a little from before.

Ever since the dragon incident came to an end, the atmosphere in the palace has become delicate, bearing the fate of an entire ethnic group once again.

Neptune, who originally just wanted to seek stability and slowly change the status quo of Fishman Island, is now becoming gradually radical.

The fate of the mermen and the mermaids lies in their hands.

Jin An stood on a high balcony, looking down at the ocean in the distance with a deep gaze. The soft waves there seemed to symbolize the hope and unknown challenges for the future of Fishman Island.

A few days' stay is enough.

Jin'an tapped the railing with his fingers. He knew that everything he could teach and instruct had been conveyed to Neptune and Otohime.

As for the future, how they will implement it, Jinan can only wait and see.

"Time to go." He muttered to himself and turned to leave the balcony.

On the other side, a naval force led by Kuzan had already arrived at Fishman Island.

These days, they have been maintaining order on the island and indirectly demonstrating the influence and deterrence of the navy.

Although Zhan Guo did not issue a clear order to retreat, Jin An understood that his mission here had been completed and there was no need to stay any longer.

The next day, the early morning sea breeze was a little chilly. Kuzan stood at the edge of the harbor of Fishman Island, wearing a thick coat as usual. He looked lazy and indifferent, but a sharp light would occasionally flash in his always calm eyes.

"Are we really planning to leave?" Kuzan asked in a low voice, his tone calm, but it was obvious that he was thinking about something.

Jin An nodded gently, "Yes, there is nothing else to do."

His tone was calm and composed, as if leaving at this moment was just an ordinary end of a mission for him, "What Neptune and Otohime will do next is no longer up to us to decide."

Kuzan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a complex emotion in his eyes, which seemed to be agreement, but also a bit of uncertainty about the future.

He was also very clear that the reform of Fishman Island could not be accomplished overnight. Jinan and the others could only act as guides, and the real challenge had just begun.

Just as Jinan and Kuzan were about to leave, two figures walked silently onto the port.

Fisher Tiger, who was walking in front, had a calm face and determination in his eyes.

He is the pride of Fishman Island and one of the most influential fishmen in this sea.

Following behind him is Jinbei, a tall and strong man with a deep gaze. He is a revolutionary with a progressive will.

The two had obviously made their decision.

"General Jinan, Jinbei and I are also ready to leave Fishman Island."

Fisher Tiger spoke, his tone calm, but with some respect for Jin An.

Jin An turned his head to look at them, his eyes swept over the two of them with a hint of contemplation.

He did not respond immediately, but looked carefully at the two fishmen in front of him. There was a determined light in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had made all preparations.

"Where are you planning to go after leaving Fishman Island?" Jin An asked, his tone calm, as if everything was under control.

“We want to see the outside world.”

Fisher Tiger said calmly, his voice full of unshakable determination, "Fishman Island cannot be sealed in this seabed forever. We also want to find more ways out for our people."

Jinbei nodded, his eyes flashing with the fanaticism and determination unique to a revolutionary.

“The outside world belongs not only to human beings, but also to oppressed races like us. Only by going out can there be hope.”

Jin An smiled slightly. He could feel the ambitions and beliefs of the two.

This decision not only concerns their future, but also the future of Fishman Island.

The world outside is indeed full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities.

"Okay." Jin An's voice was calm and firm. "Since you have made your decision, go ahead. The world outside is far more complicated than you think. I hope you can stick to your beliefs."

Jinbei and Fisher Tiger nodded at the same time, they both respected Jin'an's evaluation and guidance.

After all, this admiral is not only a symbol of the navy, he has also become their guide in a sense.

"Let's go, Kuzan." Jinan turned around and motioned Kuzan to board the warship and return to the naval headquarters.

Kuzan sighed helplessly and shrugged lazily, "It's so boring, why is it always like this."

Although the words were light-hearted, he also knew that their departure meant that Fishman Island would officially enter a new period of change.

As the warships raised their anchors, their ships slowly sailed away from Fishman Island.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and the waves on the sea gently hit the hull. Jin An stood on the deck, looking lazily ahead.

Behind him, Jinbei and Fisher Tiger were still staring at the receding warship, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The sea breeze blew the corners of their clothes, and as the ship gradually went away, the future of Fishman Island had ushered in a new starting point.

Jinbei's eyes dropped slightly, the sea breeze whistled past his ears, blowing his wide sleeves.

Standing on the island, his heart was surging, and Jin An's determined figure repeatedly appeared in his mind.

He felt an unprecedented desire and urge to follow the man who brought hope to the entire Fishman Island.

He took a deep breath, as if suppressing his inner struggle, but finally, he made up his mind.

"Tiger..." Jinbei's voice was a little low, with a hint of hesitation and other complicated emotions.

He raised his head and looked at Fisher Tiger in front of him, the partner who had always led him, with reluctance and respect in his eyes.

"I want to follow General Jinan." Jinbei's voice became firm, as if these words were squeezed out from the depths of his heart.

He raised his head, his eyes full of determination, "He is the one who shows us the way forward. I have never seen a human like him. He shows me the future of Fishman Island - a different future."

Fisher Tiger was silent for a moment, then he smiled slightly.

That smile was mixed with understanding and a blessing for Jinbe's future.

Tiger has always understood Jinbei's thoughts, just as he once did, constantly pursuing his beliefs and walking on the road to freedom.

"I knew you meant that." Tiger's voice was a little gentle. He raised his hand and patted Jinbei's shoulder. Although the action was simple, it was full of brotherly care and support.

"Follow your heart, Jinpei."

He raised his head slightly, looking far ahead at the warship that had become very small, as if he was looking forward to the future path for Jinbei.

"We will always support you. No matter who you choose to follow, as long as the path you take is for the future of Fishman Island, we brothers will stand behind you."

Jinbei's throat tightened a little. He knew that the decision he had to make was a difficult one, but he knew even more clearly that only by following Jin'an could he find a real way out for his fellow countrymen on Fishman Island, even if that road was full of thorns.

"Thank you, Tiger." Jinbei's eyes were firm and his heart was no longer shaken. "I won't let you down."

The two stood in the sea breeze, their silence filled with deep tacit understanding.

They knew that this choice meant that Jinbei would embark on a completely different path, but at the same time, they all knew that it was a path of light and hope.

Fisher Tiger finally smiled and said, "Jinbei, go ahead. The future belongs to you and to Fishman Island. When you come back, I believe that our people will see a different world because of you."

Jinbei didn't say anything else, but just bowed deeply and said goodbye to the brother who had always supported him.

Then he turned around, took firm steps, and walked towards Jin An.

The sea breeze was still blowing, Fisher Tiger stood there, watching Jinbei's back gradually disappear into the distance.

There was no wavering in his eyes, only longing and trust for the future.

He knew that Jinbe's choice was right. This was not just a follow, but the beginning of the true liberation of Fishman Island.
