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

Kuzan, Shanks and the naval forces they led were at ease on the outer battlefield of Mary Geoise.

Their figures flashed across the positions of Blackbeard's followers like lightning.

With every swing of his sword or surge of cold frost, the pirates brought by Blackbeard fell like pieces of paper.

Kuzan's eyes were calm, even a little indifferent. He had no interest in these weaklings and did not use his full strength at all.

"These trash are such a waste of time." He sneered in his heart, but his steps did not stop.

Frost filled the battlefield, and with every tap of a finger, ice burst out of the ground, freezing the pirates who tried to escape.

Shanks and Kuzan's subordinates on the side were also reaping the lives of the enemies with equal ease. Blackbeard's men wailed but were completely powerless to resist.

But that's not their focus.

Kuzan and the others knew that the real battle had not yet begun.

When the last of Blackbeard's followers fell to his knees in fear, the battlefield was silent for a moment.

Kuzan raised his head and scanned the surroundings like a hawk, making sure that no enemy was missed.

His expression changed from indifferent to serious, and he hurried towards Jin An.

Shanks and the rest of the marines followed closely behind. They all understood that the situation over there was the highlight.

However, when they arrived at the Jin'an area, Kuzan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

His eyes, which were originally calm as water, were instantly filled with anger. He stopped and focused his gaze on the figures standing high up - the Five Elder Stars.

Shanks followed closely, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but clench his fists, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Like Kuzan, he couldn't accept the sight before him.

The Five Elders stood coldly at the edge of the battlefield, with indifferent eyes, as if all this blood and chaos had nothing to do with them.

They stood high above, like natural rulers, looking down on everyone present.

What is infuriating is that these people who hold the most powerful power in the world are indifferent to the chaos and death of the navy before them.

Kuzan's breathing gradually became rapid, and his original inner calm was completely torn apart by anger.

His cold gaze pierced through the figures of the Five Elder Stars, filled with questioning and anger.

As a senior naval officer today, he knew exactly what these people represented—the World Government, the true rulers of the Holy Land.

But now, everything that was happening before their eyes made Kuzan feel extremely absurd and unfair.

"Is this what you call 'justice'?" Kuzan shouted angrily in a low voice, his cold voice seemed to tear the air apart, and it carried a hint of murderous intent.

He could no longer conceal his anger, "You watched your soldiers die, and watched the navy fight to the death, and you did nothing?!"

The sailors behind him also glared angrily, their hearts filled with unspeakable resentment.

Those warriors who dedicated themselves to justice were clearly fighting to maintain world order, but at the most critical moment, they found themselves becoming abandoned pawns.

The Five Elders remained indifferent, as if Kuzan's anger was just a trivial rumor.

Saint Makas Maz glanced at Kuzan coldly, his eyes full of contempt and indifference, and his condescending attitude remained unshakable.

He said calmly, "Kuzan, your duty is to follow orders, not to question the World Government."

Kuzan clenched his fists tightly, and the coldness spread from his body, and the air around him seemed to freeze in an instant.

There was a hint of murderous intent in Shanks' eyes, but he held the sword at his waist and tried to restrain himself.

They knew that now was not the time to act impulsively, however, such shameless behavior had already made it impossible for them to remain calm.

"Is this what they call 'order'?" Shanks whispered, looking at the Five Elders with sharp eyes.

The surrounding naval soldiers also fell silent, anger surged in their hearts, and the belief in justice suffered an unprecedented blow.

Jin An rushed to the front and watched everything silently, his smile was somewhat ironic.

He did not rush to speak, but slowly took a step forward, standing between Kuzan and the Five Elders, suppressing the anger of others.

He knew very well what he was about to face.

......

When Kuzan and Shanks locked their eyes on Jin An who was charging among the guards, everything became clear.

Jin'an's figure was like a ferocious lion. Wherever he passed, blood splattered. The guards fell like straw under his attack and were unable to resist at all.

Those holy land guards were once awe-inspiring beings, but under Jin'an's powerful momentum and ruthless offensive, they were just crushed into insignificant dust.

Kuzan's fists clenched involuntarily and his breathing became heavier.

Seeing Jin'an's unreserved offensive, he suddenly realized that the Five Elders no longer concealed their true intentions.

Their targeting of Jinan has reached the point of being undisguised, even the basic fig leaf has been torn off.

"They really are using whatever means necessary," Kuzan whispered to himself, frost spreading around him, the chill spreading like the anger in his heart.

He had fought side by side with Jin An for many years, and naturally understood how shameless these manipulators behind the scenes were. But at this moment, witnessing with his own eyes how the Five Elders recklessly abandoned the so-called order and morality, the anger deep in his heart completely erupted.

Shanks also stared at Jin An in the center of the battlefield. A sneer flashed across his face and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

There was endless coldness in his eyes, "They don't care about their face anymore. It seems that Jin An is a thorn in their side."

He looked down at the sword in his hand, which was glowing faintly, as if responding to its master's anger.

Shanks's gaze suddenly became sharp, and a chilling murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

As Jin'an's closest comrade-in-arms, he stepped forward without any hesitation and rushed straight towards the escort team.

He knew that at this point, there was no way out.

"bring it on!"

Shanks roared, and his body flashed across the battlefield like lightning, and the sword in his hand slashed at the holy land guards who blocked his way like a gust of wind.

Wherever the sword went, the guards didn't even have the chance to wail before they were chopped down to the ground.

Those powerful holy land guards were torn to pieces like dirt under the joint attack of Shanks and Jin'an, and had no power to fight back.

Kuzan looked coldly at these once high and mighty guards, the icy cold air quickly condensing in his palms.

He suddenly opened his hands, the air around him froze instantly, and the frost quickly cut into the array of guards like a sharp blade.

The guards didn't even have time to react before they were frozen into ice sculptures, with expressions of fear still on their faces, as if their last moment was frozen in fear.
