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

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the towering flagpoles, casting patches of mottled light and shadows, and the square of the Navy Headquarters seems unusually peaceful.

Just like the hustle and bustle of the past, it adds a different vitality to this solemn space.

Kake half-kneeling on the ground, Jiyuan with a helpless look on his face, and the navy who were eager to watch the fun, formed a strange scene.

Just as Ji Yuan's mind was slightly moved, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into her sight.

He was a not very tall man, wearing a navy uniform. Although many years had passed, his face was still as resolute, but the years had carved more calmness on his face, which made her heart skip a beat.

This person, who once supported her life in the fire and smoke, reappeared in her world at this moment.

The two people's eyes met in the vast crowd, and Ji Yuan was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

"Is it really you?" she murmured.

Ji Yuan hesitated, her heart began to beat rapidly, it was an indescribable excitement and a nostalgia that had been hidden deep in her heart for many years.

She remembered that once upon a time on that night of thunder and lightning, it was this man who rushed into the pirate fleet and rescued her at all costs.

Of course, she was not the only one who was saved at that time, but that person also left a significant mark in her life.

And now, the figure that she would never forget in her life suddenly appeared in front of her. How could she not be excited?

The distance between the two gradually shortened. When Ji Yuan came to Jin An, her eyes were full of memories of the past and joy of meeting each other now.

Ji Yuan stretched out her hand, trembling slightly, and an almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, "We finally meet again."

A hint of thought flashed across Jin An's eyes. He reached out and slowly held the hand that the other party extended to him.

"Are you Jiyuan? Hello..."

He couldn't find any memory related to the other party in his mind, but he still knew the famous Peach Rabbit.

Ji Yuan was a little disappointed by the other party's reaction, but he didn't show it on his face. "I'm Ji Yuan, and I've always regarded you as my idol, Admiral Jin'an."

Kaji also came over, "Gion's...idol?"

After seeing Jin'an's face clearly, Jiaji frowned and thought to himself, 'How come this guy is so handsome? He's almost as handsome as me. He's going to be a big trouble.'

No, we have to keep Jiyuan away from this guy...

"Jion, a nice restaurant has recently opened outside our headquarters. Let's go and try it together." Kake invited with a smile.

Jiyuan ignored Jiaji's eyes that were scanning Jinan back and forth.

"Ahem..." Karp coughed lightly.

He really couldn't stand it anymore. Could it be that Jin'an had some unknown past with Ji Yuan?

Hearing Garp's cough, Ji Yuan quickly came to his senses and a blush unconsciously appeared on his cheeks.

"Hello, Vice Admiral Garp." She used the greeting to divert her embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to join in the fun...you guys continue..." Karp said, pinching his nose and winking.

Ji Yuan turned her head awkwardly. She had heard about Garp's love of joining in the fun for a long time, and this time she had witnessed it herself.

"I... I was just saying hello to an acquaintance, I didn't do anything..."

Kaji's eyes almost popped out of his head. He had never seen Jiyuan like this before. What made such a heroic naval captain become like this?

He knew that this happened after Jin An appeared.

The envy and jealousy in his eyes were about to burst out, and Kaji wanted to rush up and fight the other party to the death.

Jinan also noticed that the atmosphere here was not right, and thought: Did I disturb their confession? It seems that I can't stay in this place for long.

But he knew how outrageous Kaji's love for Jizo was, and he had been expressing his love for her for decades and never gave up.

As for saying that it’s not true love, Jin An… isn’t sure either.

Jinan couldn't help but shudder when he saw the way Kaji was looking at him.

It's really horrible...

"Jion, Kaji, Vice Admiral Garp and I still have some things to sort out, so we'll be leaving first." Jin An hugged Garp and hurriedly left this place of trouble.

Watching Jin'an leave quickly, Ji Yuan felt a little lost, and his eyes stayed on the place where the other party disappeared.

Alas...in the end, we didn't recognize each other.

However, it had been a long time since she was rescued, so it was normal for the other party to forget, she comforted herself in her heart.

"..."

"Hey... Jiyuan... they have been gone for a long time..." Kaji stomped his short legs and waved his hands in front of Jiyuan's dazed eyes.

"Why are you still here?" Jiyuan asked puzzledly as he looked at the funny Kaji in front of him.

She seemed to have just heard Kaji say that he was going to eat, and now seeing him still here, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Kaji felt that Jiyuan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

"I have been here all along..."

Ji Yuan didn't care, "I'm going back, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, without waiting for Kaji to reply, he walked towards the headquarters with his long legs.

She wanted to ask Sister He why Jin An came here and how long he would stay here...

"I...you...he..."

Kaji was left alone, his body as if petrified.

He felt abandoned by the world...

"..."

"It's all your fault for wanting to join in the fun. Now you're affecting others!" Jin An said as he walked.

Karp didn't care at all. "I didn't have any influence. It was someone who, as soon as he appeared there, completely destroyed the atmosphere that Kaji had worked so hard to create."

"How can I..."

Jin An instinctively wanted to refute, but when he thought carefully about the situation at that time, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Ji Yuan?" There was a gleam in Karp's eyes, he was very curious.

"This is the first time I met her. I wonder if Ji Yuan recognized the wrong person..."

Jin An really had no impression, but he would definitely not forget such a beautiful woman after having seen her once.

Besides, he has no idea about women now, so wouldn't it be better for him to practice in the training space for a while...

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I can't understand your generation..." Karp laughed.

He suddenly put his head next to Jin An and said, "I said, why don't you open a store in Marinford? Then you can make a lot of money."

Jin An rolled his eyes. If he wanted to eat, he should just say so. It wouldn't be tiring to go through such a long detour.

"Let's talk about it later..."
