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

Dusk.

A gentle breeze scatters fallen leaves.

The guards were on high alert, as nervous as startled birds, any sound could instantly tense their bodies.

They were guards brought by the Celestial Dragons from Mary Geoise, unable to disobey any orders issued by the Celestial Dragons.

Even knowing that this place would definitely be targeted by pirates, they couldn't entertain the idea of escaping.

Death awaited them here, and death awaited them if they fled.

Suddenly, rapid footsteps echoed, and a figure burst from the forest, rushing straight towards the treasure.

The guards' eyes narrowed, their legs stomped forcefully on the ground, and then their entire bodies instantly appeared in front of Jian Jin'an, delivering a punch with all their might.

On the other side, a guard leaped into the air, somersaulting twice before suddenly launching a kick, creating a "vacuum" like a sharp slash, rapidly approaching Jian Jin'an.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the ground at the point of attack cracked, and dust filled the air.

The guard spat on the ground and wiped the dust off his hand.

"I thought he was so powerful, but he's just a petty thief."

In their opinion, a person who was easily dealt with by just two of them wasn't worth having all the guards surround him.

"Hey, did you guys not eat? Your attack speed is so slow..."

On the eaves above their heads, Jin'an leisurely dusted off his spotless clothes.

After adding 50 points to his physique, it was easy for him to deal with these guards.

After a brief test, he realized that there was no need to be so cautious, he knew that going directly to get the fruit would have been easier.

However, in his sight, Kuma and Ivankov were already within reach of the treasure chest.

The guards below, hearing this mocking remark, were so angry that their faces turned pale, but what frightened them even more was that no one had clearly seen the movements of the person on the eaves.

Fear suppressed their reason, and they kept retreating.

"Is this kind of monster really someone we can deal with?"

Hearing this sentence, Jin'an's mouth twitched, did they have some misunderstanding about monsters?

"Ah!!!"

A scream entered Jin'an's ears.

Turning his head to look, a tall, beautiful woman was pinching Ivankov's face with one hand and slamming it heavily on the ground, while the other hand held a Devil Fruit.

"Ouch! That was close, I almost became a 'Big-Headed Dragon King'."

Charlotte Linlin looked at Ivankov and teased.

She didn't stop for a moment, rushing here after disembarking, to snatch the fruit before it was eaten.

"Hand over the other fruit too."

Charlotte Linlin didn't pay attention to the few people around her, releasing Ivankov and grabbing the fruit in Kuma's hand.

"Eat it quickly!! Kuma! Don't hesitate!!!" Ivankov roared hoarsely.

Kuma swallowed the fruit in his hand in one gulp, he knew that this was what his companions had risked their lives for, and he couldn't let them down.

"Ptooey..."

Charlotte Linlin spat, it was too late.

"You must be saved, even if it's just you, it's our victory!"

Charlotte Linlin looked at Ivankov, who was still vomiting blood, and didn't make any further moves, she was already a Devil Fruit user, the fruit was just a tool for her to exchange for benefits.

There were still so many treasure chests and gold and silver jewels here, she had already made a huge profit.

"Hee-haw, I'm waiting for people to come over, what are you waiting for?" Ivankov opened his mouth and directly mocked Charlotte Linlin.

"Whoosh..."

Jin'an, realizing that something was wrong, launched a sneak attack from behind her.

"Little brat, who gave you the courage to face me?"

Charlotte Linlin slightly dodged Jin'an's attack.

"You are... Big Mom?"

The woman in front of him was very beautiful.

Beneath her curved eyebrows were a pair of charming big eyes, her lips were exquisite and full, with curves in all the right places, the whole person was like a ripe peach.

His impression of the Pirate King stayed at the Cake Island plot, but he had also seen what this woman looked like when she was young.

After confirming his guess, Jin'an's heart sank, he didn't have the confidence to stop this opponent, Big Mom had been strong since she was a child, and her copper skin and iron bones couldn't even be marked by cannons.

"Big Mom?!" Charlotte Linlin's forehead bulged with veins, obviously extremely angry.

"Very good, little brat, I'll remember you, do you know what price you have to pay for saying those two words in front of a woman?!"

Jin'an regretted it as soon as he said those two words, he knew how terrible this woman was when she went crazy, even killing her own sons and daughters without hesitation.

Moreover, the current Charlotte Linlin hadn't become the fat woman she would later be, and besides, probably no one in this world dared to call her that to her face.

Jin'an felt that something was wrong and immediately roared at Ivankov and Kuma: "Get out of here quickly!!"

"Elbaf Spear -威国(威国)!!"

Charlotte Linlin casually placed the fruit she was holding in her hand inside her clothes, then raised the knife over her head with one hand, and then slammed it forward.

A purple sword energy shock wave swept towards Jin'an with an aura of death.

In a hurry, Jin'an could only draw his sword and rush forward, slashing down at Charlotte Linlin with all his might, but he could hardly advance an inch.

An unimaginable force came from his arm, veins burst on his neck and arms, and his whole body was pushed by the sword energy, leaving two traces on the ground.

At the same time, a terrifying force enveloped the entire area, and only screams were heard, all the people and animals within a hundred meters had wide eyes, with only fear in their eyes, and the hissing screams after the sword light passed.

Some people didn't even have time to scream, and their entire bodies turned into a cloud of blood mist, scattered in the air, leaving only a scorched mark on the ground.

Before they died, their postures were twisted, enough to prove how terrified they were inside.

Fortunately, Kuma immediately used his Devil Fruit ability after hearing Jin'an's reminder, instantly sending himself and Ivankov flying out of the attack range.

"What destructive power..."

Ivankov murmured, the smile gone from his face.

In just the blink of an eye, the surrounding hundreds of meters had all turned into a dead zone. Corpses were lying everywhere, and even the vegetation had lost its vitality.

"Jin'an, how is he?"

Kuma looked around, wanting to find Jin'an's figure, but unfortunately, his sight was blocked by dust and he couldn't search.

Within the area shrouded in dust.

"Not bad, although I only used 50% of my strength, you're not bad for being able to block this move."

Charlotte Linlin licked her lips, slightly intrigued.

Jin'an knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his sword, the clothes on his hands were all shattered, and his arms were covered with sword energy cuts.

He experienced the feeling of impending death again, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The hand that was originally placed behind him slowly moved to his mouth, and in his palm was a Devil Fruit that looked like it was surrounded by dragon scales...

(PS: The setting of this book is that Big Mom's strength has not yet reached its peak, she is accustomed to comfort, and she has not practiced hard, so she has not learned many moves, and Homies only has Prometheus.)
