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

Shanks' figure was suspended in the air, his blade retracted, and his cold eyes stared at Im.

His breath remained steady, as if everything was under his control.

Shanks had mixed feelings. Although he had made preparations in advance, when he saw Im being forced to retreat, his heart was still filled with waves.

Facing this invincible existence, even Shanks dared not take it lightly.

"You are quite interesting, too."

Im sneered, turned around and stared at Shanks, his eyes full of disdain and vigilance.

"You really think you can challenge me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield suddenly became solemn.

The air around Im seemed to freeze, energy fluctuations spread wildly, and everything around her seemed to be oppressed by her power, as if an even more violent storm was about to come.

Shanks did not retreat at all. The sharpness and determination in his eyes seemed to tell Im - this battle has just begun.

Jinan also felt the impact of Shanks' power, smiled slightly, and slowly turned around. He knew that he was not fighting alone.

At this moment, the forces resisting the World Government began to gather into a more powerful force, and although Im's pressure was extremely terrifying, it could not overwhelm everything.

"Shanks..."

Jin An whispered, his voice low and full of trust;

"This attack is the beginning of our cooperation."

Shanks' eyes were cold, and the blade in his hand drew a dazzling trajectory in the air.

"Even if you are destined to be defeated, you will be defeated one day."

His voice was deep and thunderous, with a fearless confidence.

A cold light flashed in Yim's eyes. Suddenly, she took a deep breath, and an aura that shook the sky emanated from her body.

Yimu's voice was low and cold. "Since you dare to provoke me, be prepared to pay the price."

As she finished her words, a terrible force burst out from her again, causing the air to vibrate and the space to distort.

She raised her hands suddenly and slammed towards Shanks and Jinan.

Im stood in mid-air, his figure shrouded in a dark aura, looking down coldly at Jinan and Shanks, and even had a clear view of the entire battlefield below his feet.

Her gaze was as deep as the abyss, revealing an absolute majesty that disregarded everything.

Under her gaze, the space around her seemed to stop flowing, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost hard to breathe.

"The whole world is under my control,"

Her voice was cold and deep, echoing in every corner of the battlefield, like an oracle descending from the sky.

"Everything you are doing now is just a futile struggle."

There was no emotion in Yim's words, but they hit everyone's heart like a huge hammer.

The confidence revealed in the indifference made the rebels feel deeply powerless.

Whether it was the soldiers standing in the distance watching the battle, or Jinan and Shanks who were fighting with Im, they could all feel her overwhelming pressure.

Before he finished speaking, Yim's figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air.

The next second, she appeared in front of Jin An, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

Jin'an's pupils suddenly contracted, and his Ultra Instinct made him instinctively dodge, but Yim's actions seemed to have anticipated his reaction.

She waved her hand lightly, and an invisible force came like a gust of wind, directly blasting Jin An's body away.

"boom--!"

Jinan's body hit the ground like a cannonball, stirring up dust and gravel wherever it passed.

A huge deep pit was knocked out on the ground, the surrounding land cracked open, and dust and smoke rose up, blocking everyone's vision.

"Jin'an!"

Shanks growled, his eyes instantly turning cold, and the sword in his hand was raised again, pointing directly at Im.

However, Yimu just tilted his head slightly, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Her figure disappeared again, so fast that it was impossible to catch her.

At the moment when Shanks' sword was about to touch her, she suddenly appeared behind him, raised her hand, and an irresistible force hit his back.

"boom!"

Shanks' body was like a kite with a broken string. He was blown backwards and crashed heavily into a distant building.

The entire building collapsed the moment he hit it, with rocks flying everywhere and obscuring his figure.

"The weak can never change their own destiny."

Yim's voice remained calm, without any fluctuation in her tone, as if she was not experiencing a battle but playing a boring game.

Jin An struggled to stand up from the deep pit. The blood on his body had already dyed his clothes red, but his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.

Although his body was covered with wounds, his hand holding the long sword remained firm, without even the slightest tremor.

He took a deep breath, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

“Even if the gap is huge, I won’t back down.”

On the other side, Shanks staggered out of the collapsed building, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.

He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice low but with an unshakable will:

"Is this your idea of ​​'being in control'? Apparently, it's nothing more than that."

Yim's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression remained cold, but there was a hint of imperceptible disdain in her eyes.

She raised one hand, and a jet of ink-black energy surged in her palm. That power carried an aura of destruction, as if the entire world was trembling at that moment.

"Since you don't understand the gap, I will make you completely despair."

Yim said coldly, then raised his hand and waved it. The black energy suddenly spread out and turned into an invisible storm, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

"boom--!"

Wherever the black storm passed, the earth cracked, buildings were instantly reduced to dust, and even the air seemed to be torn apart.

The rebels were shaken back by this force, and many of them were thrown flying and fell heavily to the ground.

Although the Seraphim and the Pacifists fought hard, they seemed powerless in the face of this force.

Jinan and Shanks launched a counterattack almost at the same time.

Jin'an once again pushed the power of the Blue Dragon Fruit and the Menmen Fruit to the extreme. His figure was like a silver light, shuttling through Im's storm, trying to get close to her.

Shanks gathered all his domineering power and slashed out with his sword. The tip of the sword carried irresistible force and pierced into the core of the storm.

However, Im smiled coldly and flicked his fingers lightly, and the black storm suddenly erupted with even stronger power, completely dissolving the attacks of the two.

"do you understand?"

Her voice was cold and indifferent.

"No matter how hard you try, your fate is still in my hands."

Despite this, there was no wavering in Jinan and Shanks' eyes.

They gritted their teeth and took another step forward. Facing this overwhelming force, their bodies seemed to be burning.
