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

"pat..."

The door was pushed open suddenly, and the sound was particularly harsh in the silent space.

At the same time, a figure broke into this mysterious room.

Im's body moved suddenly, her slender fingers trembled slightly, and a destructive force gathered in her palm almost instantly.

That force seemed to condense the darkness of space, and a chill from the abyss swept out.

However, when she saw who was coming, her movements came to a halt.

Saint Topman Vochuli was kneeling on the ground in panic, his forehead pressed against the cold stone slab, his body trembling slightly with fear.

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Yimu's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Please spare my life, Lord Yimu! Please forgive me for trespassing into your forbidden area."

"Please show mercy..."

There was a cold light in Yim's eyes. She raised her chin slightly and stared coldly at the crawling figure of Topman Vochulisheng.

She retracted the power in her hand and asked indifferently: "I should have ordered that no one is allowed to disturb me. Don't you understand what I say?"

Her voice was like frost falling from the sky, and it made Topman shiver in his ears.

He quickly knocked his forehead even lower and explained incoherently: "Master Yimu, it's... because I saw someone coming here, and I was worried that it would disturb you, so I came here."

"It's mainly because it's too chaotic outside right now... I was also panicking, so I bumped into you."

"I am willing to be punished. Please spare my life as I am still of some use to you."

"..."

Yim's brows furrowed slightly. Although she had retracted her attacking posture, the feeling of superiority and oppression still filled the air.

Her eyes seemed to see through Topman, and she asked coldly: "What's the situation?"

Topman prostrated himself on the ground, his voice filled with panic: "The pirates... they are fighting with the Holy Land Guards, but the situation is very bad. There are other pirates who have also broken into the depths of Pangu City... We were also overwhelmed by the chaos."

"That guy Jin An has now fled the Holy Land. We have not been able to achieve our expectations."

"I beg your forgiveness..."

"Pirates...Jin'an...variables..." Im's voice murmured softly, with a hint of thoughtfulness.

She turned her gaze to the running machine. After a moment's silence, she said coldly, "You five elders are so incompetent that you lost control so quickly."

Her gaze returned to Topman, and she said coldly, "Do you know that if you barge in and disturb my plan, even if you are one of the Five Elders, you can't save your life!"

Topman Vochulisheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the coldness all over his body as if he had fallen into an icy cave made it almost impossible for him to speak.

He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice: "It is...it is my fault. Please punish me, Lord Yimu."

Yimu didn't look at him again, his eyes turned away coldly, and he said lightly: "Get out, I've told you, I won't do it myself, you guys should deal with the commotion outside by yourselves."

"besides……"

Her tone suddenly became cold and stern, "If something like this happens again, you don't have to see me alive again."

Saint Topman Vochuli felt as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed and expressed his gratitude, then retreated in a hurry. The sound of the door closing again seemed heavy and depressing in the silent room.

Yimu stood in front of the machine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Jin'an...it seems that this scene is more interesting than I expected."

Her hand gently brushed across the surface of the machine, as if she was feeling the violent energy. Then, her eyes penetrated the darkness, as if looking in a certain direction of Pangu City, with a hint of hidden expectation in her indifference.

After Topman Vochuli Saint left, silence returned to the room.

Yim stood next to the machine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a ripple of uneasiness arose in his heart.

The moment Topman broke in just now, she clearly felt a strange breath, as if someone was watching her in the dark.

But the aura was only fleeting and quickly disappeared with the arrival of Topman.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the metal casing of the machine, and her cold eyes swept across the dim room. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

However, she did not completely let her guard down.

This place should be a forbidden area that no one can easily enter. If there are other beings approaching, it means that the enemy is bolder and more dangerous than she imagined.

"Maybe it's just my illusion..." She whispered to herself, but a hint of vigilance flashed in her deep eyes.

She was still cautious, and secretly formed a seal with her fingers, quietly setting up an invisible barrier around her.

Although she was unable to detect the specific location of any threat, she would not miss any possibility.

And in the void somewhere in the room, Jin An was clinging to the edge of the space, and the rhythm of his heart was as steady as usual.

But there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly with a hint of approval.

"He actually noticed it... It seems that this Lord Yim is indeed not simple." His voice was so low that it seemed to dissolve in the slight tremor of the air.

Jin An's figure was hidden in the folds of space, his aura was restrained to the extreme, like a thin mist drifting in the wind.

Before Topman broke in, he deliberately leaked a faint breath to test Im's reaction.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that Yim had noticed it in an instant.

That kind of keen perception and quick response to danger is something that ordinary enemies cannot possess.

"It seems that this guy cannot be underestimated." Jin An thought to himself, and at the same time he became more vigilant.

Yim is not just a person who holds power behind the scenes, her own strength and keen perception are obviously extraordinary.

He tilted his head slightly, and his sight passed through the gap in the void and fell on the huge machine that was running.

The energy fluctuations surrounding the machine carried a strange power, as if they were tearing space apart from some deeper level.

Jin An felt a little curious and doubtful—what was Yimu planning?

Just as he was about to continue observing, the energy fluctuations in the room suddenly changed. Im seemed to be alert and gathered a powerful aura again.

Jin An smiled slightly, took a step back silently, and completely concealed his presence.

"Now is not the time to alert the enemy..." He murmured softly, and then his figure dissipated into the void like mist.

What Im's barrier touched was only a traceless silence.
