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

Deep within the prison.

Enshrouded in darkness, it felt cut off from the world, stifling and oppressive.

Suddenly, a steady voice, laced with a hint of jest, broke the silence, seemingly seeping out from the darkest corner.

Like a breeze in a nighttime forest, both deep and carrying a barely perceptible chill.

"Does the Navy also have Conqueror's Haki?"

The voice echoed within the cell, as if questioning an invisible force, with a hint of inquiry and disdain.

Subsequently, the speaker's voice became even more contemptuous:

"When the tiger is away, the monkeys become king. It seems the pirates are being suppressed by the Navy these days."

The sarcasm in this sentence was thick, mocking the current state of the pirate world, while also questioning the Navy's power and status.

Then, he added, his voice filled with disappointment:

"I am truly disappointed in these juniors."

He stood from the perspective of a strongman of the previous generation, his judgment of the new era filled with helplessness.

At that moment, the air within the prison seemed to freeze.

Upon hearing this, the other pirates, though they couldn't see the speaker, couldn't help but fall silent.

An indescribable pressure permeated the air.

They sat or stood, looking at each other, none daring to utter a sound.

Even the pirates who had been aggressive just moments before were now silent.

The speaker's identity seemed extraordinary; each of his words was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

The darkness and confinement of the prison did not hinder the spread of his voice.

Instead, it made the scene even more profound, as if an epic was unfolding in everyone's heart.

Jin'an's steps were steady and slow.

As he gradually approached the dark cell from which the voice originated, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become even more solemn.

Each step seemed to synchronize with people's heartbeats, echoing within this confined space.

His face appeared blurred in the dim light, his eyes piercing through the inky shadows, fixed on the vague figure behind the iron bars.

"Judging by your tone, you're a remnant of the old era?"

Jin'an's voice was very calm, as if catching up with an old friend.

He was answered by a low and somewhat hoarse laugh that echoed in the narrow cell:

"Am I wrong?"

"A bunch of World Government dogs can awaken Conqueror's Haki on their own?!"

"How laughable!"

Jin'an smiled slightly, not giving this old-timer pirate any face.

"I can only say that your knowledge is too narrow."

Jin'an was not shaken by the other party's mockery; he shook his head gently, his gaze even more indifferent: "Having been locked up in prison for so long, you've become out of touch with this era."

In this dim space.

Although there were no swords or shadows in their conversation, it still made the surrounding air tense.

Jin'an's attitude was firm and composed, not taking the other party seriously.

Having been locked up in Impel Down, how shameless can you be to act like a big shot?

Although Jin'an didn't take this pirate seriously, it didn't mean that the pirates in the prison weren't afraid of this man.

They knew the legend this man had left on the sea before, and they didn't dare to interrupt their conversation, only acting as bystanders.

"Hahahaha!"

The man's laughter echoed in the narrow prison, full of disdain and confidence.

"When I roamed the seas, you didn't even know where you were!"

Although his body was tightly bound by heavy and cold seastone chains, restricting all his power.

His eyes were still like a bottomless ocean, deep and awe-inspiring.

"It's only because I'm locked up by seastone; otherwise, I would let you know what is the strongest spirit on this sea."

His voice was accompanied by a contemptuous laugh.

The Conqueror's Haki that the other party had just exuded was as ridiculous as a child's game in front of him.

He leaned his body slightly forward, and despite being bound by shackles, the unparalleled domineering aura that burst out from his bone marrow could not be suppressed.

That arrogance of not being willing to be forgotten by the world, even in the dim and humid prison, was still radiant and not to be underestimated.

Facing such domineering provocation, Jin'an's expression remained as cold as an iceberg.

There was not a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, but deep down, there seemed to be a vast power brewing.

In this prison built of seastone, everyone locked up has their own stories and legends.

They once swept across the sea, invincible.

Now, they are still imprisoned by shackles, confined in this dark place.

, the confrontation between the two made the air filled with an unspeakable tension.

At this moment, the entire prison seemed to have become an invisible battlefield, and everyone was waiting for the coming storm.

Jin'an lightly raised the corner of his lips, revealing a playful smile, as if he had seen through everything before him.

"Seastone?"

His tone was full of a mocking smile, as if mentioning something that could no longer restrain him.

"This kind of thing only has complete suppression against the weak."

His words revealed an arrogance that didn't take seastone seriously.

With this confident declaration, he stretched out his hand.

His eyes were firmly locked on the seastone bars.

His movements were free and composed.

Under the gaze of everyone, his fingers finally gently touched the cold seastone.

The power of the seastone brought him a faint sense of weakness, but that was all.

Just before the surrounding people could react.

He was like a king being questioned, overcoming obstacles and proving his power.

His domineering spirit and will quickly condensed.

A Conqueror's Haki that was equivalent to, or even more vast than before, once again flooded out from within his body.

The invisible aura was like a raging storm, silently shaking everyone present.

This scene was a deterrent to the surrounding prisoners and Navy personnel.

It was also the ultimate display of strength.

Jin'an easily challenged the limitations of seastone.

The pirates' eyes were filled with shock.

For a time, the air in the prison became hot and heavy.

All sounds dissipated, leaving only the shocking power displayed by Jin'an.

In that narrow space, a sentence full of madness was like fingernails scratching glass, cutting through the dull air.

"Seastone is only useful against ability users. What's the point of you doing this? How laughable!"

The man's voice was mixed with arrogance and disdain.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

Jin'an remained unmoved, a faint smile flashed across his face, amused by the pirate's ignorance.

"Who said I'm not an ability user?"

His tone was relaxed, but between the lines, he revealed a strong domineering aura.

Before he finished speaking, Jin'an slowly raised his arm.

What he showed to everyone was the cyan scales that came from the change in skin color.

Like the skin of a sea creature, the scales reflected a subtle luster under the light, revealing incredible power.

At that moment, the eyes of everyone present froze, and the air seemed so thick that it could be cut.

"How could you be an ability user?!"

An exclamation pierced through the air, the pirates' faces filled with disbelief.

The sound echoed in their ears for a long time, shocking their hearts.

"Why doesn't seastone work on you?"

As the question fell, the atmosphere in the prison became even more bizarre.

Doubt, surprise, awe, all kinds of emotions intertwined on everyone's faces.

They stared at Jin'an, seeming to see some impossible miracle in him.

Jin'an smiled at the onlookers, the cyan scales on his arm shining under his control.

......

His back seemed to be telling everyone here.

Nothing is impossible with him.

Even seastone, which has absolute suppression against ability users, cannot make him yield.

...
