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

Oden stood in the center of the crowd, his figure like a taut bowstring, full of fighting spirit.

His eyes were sharp, shooting straight at Jin An, and his hands playing with the two swords waved up and down.

The pirates around were cheering and waiting for Jinan's reply. They hadn't seen such an interesting thing for a long time.

"Haha, it seems that Brother Oden wants to show his real skills!" one of the pirates shouted.

Then, laughter and noise rose and fell, forming a unique melody on the deck.

Jin An was not affected by this atmosphere, and there was no contempt on his face.

The pirates' cheers and jeers were like waves crashing against the heavy cabin, making the already tense atmosphere even more frenetic.

Jinan stood alone in a slightly open place, his eyes piercing through the crowd and fixed on Yuden.

Oden was like a volcano about to erupt. Although there were no words, Jinan could feel a sense of oppression emanating from Oden.

This feeling of oppression was like a substance, seeming to make the air thicker.

In the eyes of the pirates, this is just a battle for entertainment, but for Jinan, it is a real confrontation.

Oden approached slowly, and every step was like throwing a stone into the quiet sea, causing ripples.

At this moment, the air between the two of them seemed to be cut by an invisible force. All the sounds became distant and blurred, leaving only their gazes into each other's eyes and the rhythm of their heartbeats.

The pirates surrounding them seemed to have sensed something unusual as well; their noise gradually died down, and all eyes were focused on the battle that was about to unfold.

Jin An slowly stood up as the pirates' shouting gradually subsided.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, a gentle and confident smile, as if he had foreseen the outcome of the battle.

The pirates watching were looking forward to this scene and couldn't wait to witness the moment the battle began.

In such an atmosphere, Jin An became more and more calm. He stood up neither hurriedly nor slowly and dealt with the situation calmly.

"Under the circumstances, I have no choice but to refuse." Jin An spoke in a voice that seemed like he was talking to himself, but was clearly heard everywhere.

Then, his eyes fixed on Oden.

To be honest, Jinan was also curious about Oden's strength.

He wanted to know how strong Oden was and what kind of sparks he could create in battle.

In the arena, the momentum of the two men was like the tide, one wave higher than the other, reaching the sky.

In this atmosphere where clues were already apparent, even Rayleigh and the others who were enjoying their leisure time with wine glasses in hand could not help but cast their eyes on these two people.

Their laughter and chatter gradually died down, replaced by a strong sense of anticipation.

In their opinion, although Jinan was already a genius at this age, having reached the level of lieutenant general, they did not think that he could compete with Oden.

Jin An didn't take the pirates' gazes to heart, and a burning desire for war surged in his eyes.

As soon as he clenched his hand, the Yanling Knife appeared instantly with a wave of oppressive air, and then the black domineering aura covered the entire knife.

"It's quite a nice domineering aura, just right for an opponent."

Looking at the black knife in Jin'an's hand, Oden's eyes flashed, and he discovered the power of the other party's armed color domineering.

"Qiang!!"

As soon as Oden finished speaking, an excited smile appeared on his face. Without any extra words, he took two steps forward, drew the double swords at his waist directly into his hands, and chopped down at Jinan with lightning speed. The air seemed to turn into a tangible object under the blades.

"boom!!!"

The attacks from both sides collided, and the heavy force from the Yanling Knife made Jin An's eyes slightly shudder. It was obvious that he had not expected the opponent's strength to be so strong.

The swords flashed and the two men were competing with each other in terms of powerful strength and skill of their moves.

Waves of wind swept over, tearing cracks in the clouds.

"clang!"

Jin An took a sudden step forward and chopped down with great force with the goose-feather knife in his hand.

The blade flew across the sky, almost imperceptible to the naked eye in the dark night.

Oden's eyes flashed with brilliance, without dodging at all, he held up both swords in front of him to block Jin'an's attack.

Jin'an stepped back slightly, not very fast, and before Oden could react, he slashed horizontally with his sword, but with more force than the previous one.

"boom!!!"

With a dull sound, Oden flew backwards and rolled several times in the clouds.

Oden stood up with his two swords, "Oops, I was careless. Come on!"

Two figures flickered in this vague light.

Jinan's breathing was heavy and regular, and every exhalation formed a white mist in the cold air.

Oden stared intently at every little move of the opponent, ready to counterattack at any time.

The handles of the swords that the two men were holding tightly were already wet with sweat. The collision of the blades made a harsh metal friction sound, and the air around them seemed to be vibrating.

Although they have been fighting for a long time, the two still have no intention of relaxing.

Jin'an's movements were swift and precise, and he tried to hit the vital point with every swing of the sword.

Oden was not willing to be outdone. His sword power was like a storm, fierce and continuous.

The two men's attack and defense were in a tight rhythm, and their lightning-fast sword moves dazzled the onlookers.

Rayleigh looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, then turned to look at Buggy beside him.

Bucky had already opened his mouth wide, forgetting to swallow the wine in his mouth, and it flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Is this a lieutenant general? I would believe you even if you told me he was a general."

Before boarding Roger's ship, Oden was the captain of Whitebeard's Second Division. His strength had long reached the emperor level. Although it was just a sparring match and he didn't use his full strength, it was still possible to see Jin'an's strength.

There was only a loud bang.

The opposing forces forced both of them to take a few steps back and steady themselves.

In between breaths, the bright moonlight shone through the clouds, adding a touch of peace to this tense confrontation.

The air became quiet at this moment.

"hiss……"

The members of Roger's pirate group were dumbfounded, and the food and drinks in their hands fell to the ground.

But at this moment, no one cared about the wasted wine.

Their eyes were fixed on the figures of Jinan and Yutian.

After all, Oden's name was well-known on the sea, and the crew members were all aware of how powerful this swordsman was.

Several of them frowned in thought, unable to calm down.

Below Captain Roger, they considered themselves the elite among the elite at sea, yet they had never seen anyone who could contend with Oden so skillfully.

Jin An's almost sudden speed and the force of each strike made the watching crew members sweat.

Roger himself stood at the forefront of the crowd, his expression calm and deep, with one hand gently twirling his beard.

There was admiration and a hint of subtle surprise in his eyes.

The power that Oden used was not too much, but it was far beyond the strength of an ordinary vice admiral.

He originally only had a mental identification with Jin An, but now, he also acknowledged the other party's strength.
