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

On the warship of Jinan.

The sea breeze whistled in my ears, and the word "justice" behind the coat fluttering in the wind on the deck was particularly conspicuous.

The rolling waves on the sea surface are set against the sky, and the gradually darkening clouds seem to be setting the stage for what is to happen next.

Today, an old acquaintance arrived on this warship - Yisheng.

There was a hint of contemplation on his face. He stroked the sword in his hand. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but a little confused.

After the incident at Impel Down, Issei's question grew heavier, "What is the purpose of the Shichibukai system?"

He asked calmly, his eyes fixed on Jin An, as if searching for some answer.

Zefa and Jinan stood aside, neither of them was in a hurry to answer.

There was a hint of difficulty on Zefa's face. As the incident unfolded, the doubts and uneasiness in his heart gradually became clearer.

As a current naval instructor and an eyewitness to the Impel Down incident, he understands better than anyone that those pirates, even if they are clothed with the skin of "Seven Warlords of the Sea", are still vicious wolves that cannot be tamed.

Jin An chuckled, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth.

There was a kind of indifference and mockery in his eyes that was completely different from before, as if he had already seen through the absurdity and hypocrisy behind these systems.

"Mr. Issei, you should know that the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' system was established by the World Government, and those pirates are also under the jurisdiction of the World Government."

His tone was lighthearted, yet concealed a certain helplessness and sarcasm.

Yisheng nodded slightly, "I know, but... I can't meet those high and mighty world nobles."

When he said this, his tone revealed weakness.

He knew in his heart that no matter how powerful or famous he was, he could not reach the core of power at that level.

"That's really unfortunate." Jin An smiled, his tone frivolous, clapped his hands, and said jokingly, "It's hard for me to see those guys either."

Issei frowned slightly, his face full of confusion, "How is it possible? Aren't you the admiral of the Navy Headquarters?"

He looked puzzled, thinking that as a general, Jin An's status was high enough, and he should be able to easily communicate directly with the Five Elders or the world's nobles.

Jin An shrugged lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "A general who has been exiled everywhere, right?"

He said it lightly, as if he had long been accustomed to his situation, as if all this was just a mockery of him by those high-ranking figures.

Jin An had a faint smile on his face, as if he was telling someone else's story. He continued, "They are not attacking me now, or kicking me out of the navy, all because of my strength."

"Otherwise, I will probably die unclearly one day."

A look of surprise and disbelief flashed across Yisheng's face, and he was unable to accept this reality for a moment.

Jin An's tone was terrifyingly calm, as if the game of life and death and power was just a trivial ripple to him.

But behind his calm expression, Yisheng saw the undercurrent between Jinan and the World Government, which was a deep-seated rift.

"Has the relationship between the two sides become so bad?" Yisheng muttered to himself. He looked at Jin An in front of him, as if he saw a soldier walking alone in the vortex of power.

He felt a surge of admiration in his heart, but also felt deeply powerless.

Zephyr stood aside, a thoughtful look on his face.

He knew better than anyone that Jin An's strength undoubtedly gave him an unshakable position in the navy.

But he also understood that Jinan had already stood on the edge of danger when facing the World Government.

Jinan's existence is like a sharp knife in the hands of the World Government, and this knife may backfire at any time.

Jin An's smile did not diminish, but his eyes became colder.

Although his words were light, every word was like a sharp blade, cutting an irreparable rift between him and the World Government.

He no longer has any illusions and no longer expects justice to return.

"If that's the case, then why are you still staying in the navy?" Yisheng's voice was low. He wanted to know what Jin An was insisting on.

Jinan glanced at Yisheng, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Because I believe that one day, true justice will come. Even if I have to stand on this road full of dangers, I will insist on going on." His tone was firm, and there was no wavering in his eyes.

The sea breeze blew again, and the word "justice" on Jin'an's cloak danced with the wind, as if telling of the unswerving belief in his heart.

If that day comes too late, he doesn't mind being a pusher.

Hearing Jin An's words, "Yi Sheng" was slightly stunned, and his inner emotions fluctuated like waves.

Ever since he lost his sight, his world has been plunged into endless darkness.

The long wandering and loneliness trapped him in an invisible cage, making him often feel that he was isolated from the world.

However, Jin An's words were like a ray of light shining in the darkness, igniting the faint hope in his heart.

"I have been drifting on the sea for too long." Yisheng said in a low voice, as if he was stating a fact that could not be ignored.

There was fatigue and helplessness in his tone, a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, but deep in the words, there was also a hint of expectation and desire.

He turned his head slightly. Although he couldn't see Jin An's face, he still looked in his direction and said slowly, "I wonder if General Jin An is willing to help a blind man like me?"

Before he finished speaking, a hint of tension seemed to fill the air.

For Yisheng, this sentence was a request from the heart, with rare vulnerability and temptation.

After all, even a warrior like him who had lost his sight had seen too many misfortunes in this world full of fighting and dangers.

Asking others for help was not his style. This was his first and perhaps last request.

Jin An glanced at him sideways, raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt the complex emotions hidden in the other person's words.

Although the temptation in a lifetime of words is self-evident, it is more of a silent call.

Jin An was of course aware of the loneliness and confusion in the heart of this warrior who had "wandered for too long".

Being well-informed, he immediately caught the other person's helplessness, and also felt his urgent desire to reintegrate into this world.

"You are most welcome." Jin An's tone was not hesitant at all, and even had a bit of gentleness and determination. "You can stay by my side and experience the world from another perspective."

These words were said calmly, but it was like a warm force transmitted to the other person.

For a life that has been “blind” (disappointed) for many years, this is not only an invitation, but also an opportunity to embrace the world again.

There was no trace of charity or mercy in Jin'an's attitude, which made Yisheng feel a little relieved.

Although he still couldn't see, Jin An's frank and sincere voice made him feel as if he saw a whole new picture in his heart.

“Experience the world from another perspective…”

Yisheng repeated it softly, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

For a long time, his heart seemed to have been shrouded in darkness and loneliness, but now, Jin An's words lit up a little light.

He felt the depression in his chest slowly dissipate, and it seemed that even the pair of eyes that could no longer see, were brought a long-lost peace by these words.

Yisheng sighed softly and said with a hint of gratitude: "It seems that my wandering life will finally have a home."

Although he couldn't see Jinan's expression, he could feel the other party's sincerity and trust.

He knew that the road ahead was still full of unknowns, but with Jin An by his side, the darkness ahead seemed no longer so scary.

Jin An patted his shoulder, his eyes firm: "With me here, you don't have to drift anymore. Next, we will face this sea together and move towards the future together."

In this commitment, it seems as if the boundary between darkness and light is blurred.

Yisheng's heart gradually calmed down. Although it was still dark in front of him, he seemed to have found his direction again.
