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

Under a huge tree in the forest.

A short figure hid in the bushes, his eyes wandering around the lush woods behind him.

The figure looked a little disheveled, with some bark fragments stuck in his hair and his body covered with small wounds.

Although his appearance is not very good, his eyes exude a sharp aura.

There seemed to be some hatred flowing in those calm eyes, and the whole person was like a bloodthirsty cub.

"You don't have to hide. We know you are there. If you come out obediently, you can suffer less."

A few small figures pushed aside the bushes, looking around as if they were looking for something.

The boy hiding behind the tree had a panicked look in his eyes. He had no idea how he was caught up so quickly.

He curled up his body, trying to hide deeper.

"Hey, Enelu, keep hiding..."

Several hands pulled aside the grass and found the boy hiding behind it.

Knowing that he had been discovered, Eneel's eyes were a little terrified. Every time he was caught by these people, he would be beaten severely.

He would rather go to a place where he would never be discovered than suffer this kind of pain.

"Why don't you say anything, Enelu? Don't you like it?"

Several people kicked each other hard and laughed loudly.

"Hey! Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, we are talking to you!"

The leader picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at Enelu.

Blood flowed from Enel's wound to the ground, but he still didn't dare to speak.

He knew that if he resisted or obeyed their wishes, his fate would be even worse.

As long as he could endure these beatings, the other party would lose interest in him, and then he would be temporarily relieved.

"..."

As he traveled through the vast forest, Jinan felt a headache.

The surrounding environment looks the same, and I don’t know where Tian Yueshi has gone, at least he is not within the range of Observation Haki.

He had been walking in here for a long time, but he didn't even see the shadow of the other party.

When he walked into the woods, he wanted to find someone to ask, but there was no one there.

"Ok?"

As the observation Haki spread, Jin'an's expression changed after a while and his eyes looked towards the northwest.

It was the first time he had noticed so many people since entering the forest, but it didn't seem like anything good was happening there.

There, he scanned the surrounding area and happened to see a group of children gathered together.

When he saw clearly what was happening inside, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. One of the children inside looked somewhat familiar.

"..."

Enel's expression was filled with fear, but he managed to hold back from making a sound.

"As a Baihai person, you don't even have a pair of wings. It's really embarrassing for us. Do you think you are an undercover sent by those low-level humans?"

"It's just that we feel sick when we see your body."

"Why don't you go to Qinghai to look for your relatives, hahahaha."

Although these children are not very old, their malice is not small at all.

"..."

Facing these people's attacks, a ferocious red glow appeared in Enelu's eyes.

He really couldn't bear it anymore. This time the other party was beating him to death. If he didn't resist, he would be seriously injured.

Enel bent his palm slightly and grabbed a handful of mud in his hand. Then he rolled forward, avoiding the attacks of those people, and scattered the mud in his hand into the eyes of several people.

"I'm really brave this time, but it's useless..."

Several people dodged the mud nimbly, and then slapped Enelu without any hesitation.

"Snapped!!!"

Although it is just a child's hand, it still possesses great power.

This slap made Enel's eyes flash with gold light. He fell to the ground with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"So cruel?"

Jin An twitched his lips when he saw all this. These kids were fighting so recklessly.

"Hey, you guys, that's enough. If you keep fighting, he might not be able to hold on." Jinan stood in front of Enelu and persuaded him.

"Who are you? You are really nosy!"

The leading boy didn't even raise his head and continued to kick Enel hard.

Jin An's steady voice was like thunder in the evening breeze: "Enough!"

His voice startled the bullies.

Jin An's eyes were as sharp as knives, and his serious face was full of unquestionable determination.

Faced with Jin'an, the children were stunned, and then they ran away in panic.

As they disappeared into the darkness, Jin turned to check on the frightened child.

He said in the gentlest tone possible: "It's okay, they're gone."

The child raised his head, his eyes looked particularly clear because of tears. He looked at Jin An in confusion, as if he was judging whether the stranger in front of him could be trusted.

Jin An squatted down gently and held out his hand: "My name is Jin An, you get up first."

The child hesitated for a moment, then held Jin An's outstretched hand with his little hand, and replied softly, "Why are you helping me?"

Jin An smiled and said, "Just do it when you encounter it, and you don't need a reason to help others."

Enelu didn't understand the other person's thoughts. In his mind, this sky island was more like a prison where he was imprisoned than a place to live.

So, his dream is to reach the infinite land, where no one can hurt him.

Of course, that was the previous thought.

Enelu had a very good impression of Jinan. The other party saved his life, and he had initial trust in Jinan.

"Are you a pirate? I heard from the adults that most of the Qinghai people who come to Sky Island are pirates."

Before Jinan could speak, Enelu asked directly, although he didn't know what the pirates' style of behavior was.

"I'm not a pirate, but my purpose for coming here is the same as that of a pirate."

"Purpose?"

Enelu asked doubtfully: "I heard that the supplies on Sky Island are not comparable to those in Qinghai."

"Maybe." Jin An just smiled.

Although his memory was a little fuzzy, he knew that there was a lot of gold on Sky Island, and the Thunder Fruit was also in the temple on the island.

'Thor' Enel is still a bullied little kid, so the fruit must still be hidden there.

"As a token of your gratitude for helping me, I can act as your tour guide."

“No one is more familiar with the environment here than me.”

Enel felt that he should do something to repay this kind person, but after thinking it over, he could only do this simple thing.

Jin'an has no problem with that, he just needs to find Tianyueshi as soon as possible.
