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

Chapter 190: Tianyue Shi preparing to go to Wano Country

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Report to General Zhan Guo,"

A navy officer hurried into the office, saluted, and said solemnly,

"All the pirates who invaded Marinford have been taken to Impel Down."

"The Golden Lion will be escorted by Sakaski and will depart today."

Zhan Guo raised his head from behind a table piled with documents, his brows furrowed, looking tired but still maintaining his dignity.

"What about Jin'an? Any news?"

There was a hint of nervousness and concern in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on the reporting Marine.

The navy hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said:

"not yet……"

Zhan Guo sighed, a hint of undisguised disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure.

"No news, but sometimes it can be good news."

He tried to comfort himself with a calm tone, while also comforting the soldiers under his command.

However, these words of self-comfort did not really work deep down in his heart.

On the day of the decisive battle, when Zhan Guo and his men destroyed the floating island and returned to the base with the half-dead Golden Lion, the battlefield was in a mess.

The pirates who invaded Marinford were completely wiped out by the support of other naval branches.

Judging from the traces left in Marinford, the intensity of the battle here was beyond imagination.

However, when they were busy counting the death toll of the war, they found that Jinan had not appeared for a long time.

The uneasiness in Zhan Guo's heart gradually grew, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

Daxiong, Kuzan and Tianyueshi have been searching for Jinan without sleep these days.

They visited almost every suspicious place around Marinford.

The big bear's iron tower-like figure shuttled through the ruins of the battlefield again and again.

Kuzan's cold eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to find any clues.

Tian Yueshi continued to explore with his keen intuition.

But almost a week has passed and there is still no news from Jinan.

Time passes by minute by minute, and every moment tests their patience and perseverance.

"We can't give up, keep looking!"

Kuzan's voice was calm, but it contained an unshakable determination.

Tian Yueshi nodded slightly, with a determined light shining in his eyes:

"Jin'an won't be defeated easily."

Daxiong remained silent, clenched his fists, and prayed silently in his heart for Jinan's safe return.

The sea breeze blew gently, as if telling the anxiety and uneasiness in the hearts of Jinan's sailors.

When night fell, Zhan Guo stood in front of the office window, looking at the starry sky in the distance, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

Tsuru and Zephyr walked into Sengoku's office side by side.

Zhan Guo was looking down in deep thought, with a worried look on his face. When he saw them come in, his expression did not ease.

Seeing Zhan Guo like this, He and Zefa couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

Crane spoke, his voice low but calm:

"There are burn marks on Jin'an's life card. His condition may not be very good..."

Zhan Guo nodded, frowning, his tone full of worry:

"The last thing the marines saw him doing was fighting Kaido."

"In this case, Kaido is most likely responsible for Jin'an's disappearance."

Zefa was a little uncertain, with confusion and a hint of uneasiness flashing in his eyes:

"But with Jin An's skills, there is no way he will be defeated by Kaido."

The eyes of the Warring States period were deep,

"Maybe Kaido has hidden abilities that we don't know about, or..."

"He also has very capable helpers."

Zefa's eyes flashed with anger, and his fists clenched, "Let me go directly to Wano Country. If it was really Kaido who did it, I will make him pay the price."

Sengoku looked at Zephyr deeply.

Unknowingly, they had already trained Jin An to be the future naval marshal.

The navy also identified with Jinan from the bottom of their hearts.

He patted Zefa's shoulder gently and said in a gentle voice:

"Zefa, calm down and don't make decisions in anger. We need a comprehensive plan and cannot let Jinan fall into a worse situation."

Zefa took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes subsided a little.

"I understand."

"But we can't just sit there and wait, we have to act quickly."

Zhan Guo sighed, stood up, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

"None of us want to see any of our companions fall into despair. We will do our best to find Jin An, no matter what the cost."

The three of them were silent for a moment, each of them planning their next move in their hearts.

Sengoku walked to the world map on the wall, tapped the location of Wano Country with his finger, and said solemnly:

"We don't fully understand Kaido's background, but this is exactly where we need to investigate in depth. We can't act rashly, but we can't remain indifferent either."

Crane nodded.

"I will mobilize the intelligence department to collect all the detailed information about Kaidou and his forces as soon as possible."

Ze's law is more direct:

"No matter what, I will be ready to fight. If Kaidou really touches him, I will not let him have an easy time."

Outside the office door, Tian Yueshi leaned against the wall, his heart beating like a drum.

She heard everything Zhan Guo and the others discussed and knew that the current situation in Jin'an was extremely grim.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

The long battle and concern for her friends had exhausted her, but at this moment she felt that this was the best news she had received in some time.

Originally, they suspected that Jin'an's disappearance was related to Kaido.

But it's still uncertain.

Now their conversation gave her a reason to act.

Her slightly shaking hands clenched into fists, the voices of Sengoku, Crane, and Zephyr still echoing in her ears.

After hesitating for a moment, she opened her tightly closed eyes, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

Without further thought, she turned and left without hesitation.

She knew that once she embarked on this path, she would be taking huge risks, but Jin An was the person she cherished most, and she could not sit idly by.

The Navy Headquarters means safety to the Navy, and Sengoku and the others have not activated their Observation Haki.

And because he was too tired, he didn't notice Tian Yueshi's arrival.

......

Tian Yueshi quickly passed through the base.

The oncoming sea breeze hit her face, making her feel a little sober and cool.

Arriving at the exit of the base, my figure looked somewhat lonely in the moonlight, with my long hair fluttering in the wind.

Faced with the unknown adventure that was about to begin, she did not flinch and took out the life card that she had carefully collected in her arms from her chest.

Looking at the scorch marks on it, she became more determined.

"Jin'an, hold on, I'm coming."

"..."

Just as Tian Yueshi was about to go alone to rescue Jin An, several figures silently appeared behind her.

A slightly lazy voice came from the wind:

"Don't even think about taking risks alone."

Tian Yueshi was slightly stunned, then quickly turned around and saw a group of familiar faces standing in front of her.

"Kuzan."

Kuzan put his hands in his pockets and didn't look nervous at all. His usual calmness calmed Tian Yueshi's turmoil.

Tian Yueshi glanced at the others in surprise.

"Kuma, Enelu, Shiryu, Hancock..."

Those standing in front of her were Jin An’s friends and subordinates.
