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

Just as Jin An had finished communicating with Tom about how to quickly integrate Water 7.

The Navy, who had been following Jin An's group, had also returned to the port of Water 7.

The Navy officers wearily disembarked from the warship, having worked overtime for several days to find those three individuals, enduring considerable hardship along the way.

"This trip has really been exhausting..."

"Indeed, I initially thought it was just a simple mission to protect new recruits, but it turned out to be exhausting like a dog..."

"Being tired is one thing, but witnessing that tragic scene... those pirates deserved to die."

"Who's to say otherwise? The entire population of an island was wiped out..."

"Death is too good for them!"

The Navy officers gathered around a table in a restaurant, discussing their experiences during this voyage.

"I didn't expect that the pirate crew that slaughtered the island was the target of Colonel Jin An's mission this time."

One of the Navy officers, with both hands on the table, almost jumped out of his chair, "Thousands of pirates, all defeated by Colonel Jin An alone!"

The surrounding residents turned their gazes, their shock mixed with disbelief.

The cafeteria was filled with noisy discussions, everyone seemingly wanting to uncover the truth.

Another Navy officer stepped forward, gesturing with his rough arms to describe the battlefield's devastation: "Looking at the pirate ship wreckage remaining near the island, there were at least 20 ships! I can't imagine the scene."

"Moreover, I heard that Colonel Jin An didn't even sustain a scratch, truly like a god of war!" A young Navy officer leaned against the door, his tone filled with admiration for Jin An.

The residents, whether sitting or standing, perked up their ears, trying to catch fragments of the heroic anecdotes from the chaos.

Several children stopped their spoons covered in sauce, their eyes vacant, as if they could visualize Jin An's unparalleled bravery in their minds.

An old woman with wrinkles of age on her forehead whispered to her old friend, "To think there is such a person in this world, capable of accomplishing such a feat with just his own strength..."

The restaurant owner leaned against the counter, recalling the adventurous life he had dreamed of in his youth, his eyes filled with contemplation. Although he had not met the person the Navy officers were talking about, the heroic deeds they described were like giant waves in the deep sea, impacting his heart one after another.

The corners of everyone's mouths unconsciously curved into a smile of admiration. Even the cooks who dealt with pots and pans all day long had to admit that even the most ordinary life yearned for such deeds.

Outside Wasted Island, a figure used Moonwalk to travel and finally arrived outside Tom's Workshop.

"Colonel Jin An, Colonel Kuzan, Lieutenant Commander Toki Amatsuki, we are under orders to take you back to the Navy Headquarters."

"They're here..."

Jin An looked at the man in uniform outside.

Judging from the shoulder patch, the other party's rank was several levels higher than his, a Rear Admiral from headquarters.

The person secretly protecting them is at least a Rear Admiral? It seems the headquarters is quite considerate to these 'new recruits'.

"We have completed a full inventory of your achievements."

The Rear Admiral said with shock: "A total of 22 pirate ships were completely burned on the coast of Balga Island."

"A tower made of heads was piled up on the beach, totaling 2254. 234 civilians were rescued from the ship cabins and have all been sent back to their hometowns."

"Treasure is piled up on the beach, with a preliminary estimated total value of over 190 million Berries."

Toki Amatsuki and Kuzan were much calmer. They were the ones who stacked those heads, and they were the ones who collected those treasures and put them on the beach.

The people at Tom's Workshop had slightly constricted pupils.

These data were all carefully calculated by the Navy, without any exaggeration.

They didn't expect that the other party had done such a big thing after only leaving for a short time.

You know, the number of people who come to their workshop every year may not exceed 2,000, and Jin An alone has killed more people in this period than that data.

Moreover, those pirates also had 190 million Berries.

How could a pirate crew with so much money be simple? They can't earn 60 million Berries a year building ships, and that's without deducting costs.

I don't know how that pirate crew obtained such a huge amount of wealth...

"Since you have no objections, let's return directly," the Rear Admiral asked Jin An, barely suppressing his surprise.

He knew that the person in front of him was already a rising star in the Navy, and might be given the rank of Commodore after returning to headquarters, such a genius deserved his careful treatment.

"Tom, we'll go back to Navy Headquarters first, I'll leave the affairs of Water 7 to you," Jin An turned around and said to Tom behind him.

Tom came back to his senses from the shock, nodded and said: "No problem, I will take care of it."

The Rear Admiral's eyes scanned back and forth between the two of them, he felt that Jin An had caused trouble again during his time in Water 7.

But he didn't care, his task was just to bring Jin An back.

......

The sea breeze fluttered the warship's flag, causing it to rustle in the evening afterglow.

With the undulation of the waves, the ship seemed to become more majestic and solemn with the rise of morale.

The warship was slowly heading towards Navy Headquarters, and on the deck, a group of Navy officers and soldiers stood solemnly, their gazes piercing through the chaotic sea fog, focusing on a heroic figure.

He was the admired soul of this unit, a warrior who had made a name for himself amidst the smoke of gunpowder.

His back was reflected on the boundless sea illuminated by the sun, his body standing as upright as a flagpole defending glory.

The sunlight lightly sprinkled on the epaulets of his military uniform, reflecting dazzling light, this brilliance, has the accumulation of countless honors and responsibilities.

The respect in the officers' hearts was like the surging tide in the sea, one wave higher than another.

Of course, this is Jin An in the eyes of the Navy, the fanboys have their own idol filter, and the eyes of their idols are always different.

Beside Jin An, a veteran who had experienced many battles broke the silence.

He stepped forward, saluted solemnly, his voice steady and full of strength: "You have won glory for our Navy, we will keep this honor in mind."

After someone took the lead, the Navy officers no longer suppressed their admiration.

"Colonel Jin An is awesome!"

"I want to apply to join your team!"

"I want to give you monkey babies!!"

"......"

Hearing the fierce words of his subordinates, the Rear Admiral's face turned green.

It was the first time he found that these guys under his command were so improper, and even said the words to give birth to monkey babies.

Seeing the lively atmosphere here, Kuzan also wanted to join in the fun.

"Don't go over there and make trouble!" Toki Amatsuki grabbed Kuzan's collar and said.

Her mood was not very good, and she felt a little awkward looking at Jin An who was surrounded by people.

She agreed to keep up with each other's footsteps, but she felt that the distance from that man was getting farther and farther.
