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

Inside Elbaf's meeting hall, a heavy atmosphere spread like a tide, almost suffocating.

A detailed nautical chart was spread out on a huge wooden table, covered with small flags, each of which represented a possible attack route for the enemy.

The sunlight outside the window shone through the heavy curtains, looking dim and weak.

Jin An sat at one end of the long table, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop. The rhythm was slow but unusually clear.

His eyes were lowered, as if he was lost in deep thought.

Tian Yueshi stood beside him and gently placed a cup of hot tea in front of him, but he did not react at all, his eyes still fixed on the nautical chart covered with red marks.

"Come out in full force..."

Whitebeard's deep voice broke the silence.

His arms were crossed over his chest, and he sat there like a silent mountain, staring deeply at the chart.

Loki stood by the window, his hands behind his back, veins bulging slightly on his forehead.

His giant body took up almost half of the room, but at this moment he seemed unusually quiet.

He turned around and glanced at Jin An, and said in a deep voice:

“Not only did they come out in full force, they also won over many hesitant forces.

These kings and soldiers may not want to go to war, but they have no choice.”

"The most troublesome thing is the navy." Long's voice came from the other end of the long table.

He sat upright, his hands folded on the table, his tone calm but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

"Although people like Sengoku and Garp have long seen through the true face of the World Government, they are still opponents that we must face."

Tian Yue looked around at everyone and said softly:

"The Navy stands for 'justice'.

Although they have been used by the world government, in the hearts of many people, their existence still symbolizes hope.

As long as they are on the enemy's side, it will put a lot of pressure on our alliance."

"Justice?" Whitebeard snorted coldly, raised his huge fist and slammed it heavily on the table. "Can justice stand up to swords on the battlefield?"

Tian Yueshi did not refute, but her brows frowned slightly, obviously aware of the complexity of the question.

"So, this time we have to win more than just the war." Jin An's voice suddenly sounded, breaking everyone's meditation.

He raised his head and scanned everyone with his sharp eyes.

"What we want to win is faith and the future."

Everyone was attracted by his words and turned their eyes to him.

"The world's governments coming out in full force is certainly a challenge, but it is also an opportunity for us."

Jin An stood up, put his hands on the table, and spoke in a strong and powerful tone.

"This war is not just to overthrow the World Government, but to let everyone in this world see that there are better options than 'Dragon rule'."

Long nodded and smiled in approval.

"That's right. If we want to completely dismantle the World Government, we must destroy their deep-rooted prestige.

And this can only be achieved through victory.”

"..."

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became solemn but firm.

Loki walked back from the window to the long table and slammed his huge fist on the table, making a deafening sound.

He looked at Jin An and said in a thunderous voice: "In that case, come on! Elbaf is not afraid of any enemy!"

"What an Elbaf!"

Whitebeard laughed, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

He clenched his fists, as if he couldn't wait to face the decisive battle.

Tian Yueshi looked at the scene in front of him, sighed softly, but couldn't help but smile.

She knew that although these people said it lightly, they all knew in their hearts that this would be an unprecedented tough battle.

Jin An slowly raised the teacup in his hand and glanced at every face.

His voice was low but firm: "Then, everyone, to victory, to freedom - cheers!"

Tea cups, wine glasses, and even the giants' bucket-sized cups all clinked together, making crisp sounds.

This is not only their oath to this war, but also a commitment to the future.

The jubilant atmosphere gradually died down, and the discussion at the long table came to an end.

The nautical chart and strategic draft spread out on the table were covered with markings. The area representing Elbaf was circled repeatedly, and a clear arrow extended from here to the end of the sea, pointing directly in the direction of Marijoa.

"This battle is divided into two routes."

Long's deep voice broke the silence.

The baton in his hand pointed to two key points on the map.

“We must hold on to Elbaf all the way, hold back the main force of the World Government, and ensure that our alliance remains stable.

The other is to directly target Marijoa - to end this war fundamentally."

There was silence in the conference hall.

Everyone's eyes turned to Jin An, as if this adventurous route was tailor-made for him.

Jin An did not avoid these gazes.

He slowly stood up, his eyes sharp as torches, scanning everyone present.

There was no hesitation on his face, and his voice was filled with unshakable determination:

"Since I want to end this war, I will naturally do it myself."

Loki strode to the sea chart, put his hands on his hips, and stared down at the huge Elbaf area on the map.

His voice was loud and clear, with an authority that was hard to ignore:

"Elbaf's defenses have never feared any enemy.

If they dare to come, we will make sure they never return!"

Whitebeard stood beside Loki, laughed deeply, and then patted the giant on the shoulder:

“I have great faith in the fighting spirit of the giants.

But my sword is not meant to rust, I can’t be left without my part in the defensive battle.”

Long Ze looked at Jin An calmly, his eyes showing trust and deep consideration:

“Going to Marijoa is a dangerous road, and the risks are extremely high.

What is needed is not only strength, but also strategic wisdom and strong morale.

Are you sure you can ensure your own safety?

You should know that you are the idol of many people in the new navy and the spiritual pillar of many people."

"I will lead the elite troops." Jin An nodded without any hesitation.

"Yim is the source of this war. As long as she is defeated, everything will fall apart.

In addition, there is a more important meaning - we want to let the world see that their so-called "gods" can also be pulled down from the altar by mortals."

"..."

The division of labor has been determined, but the atmosphere is not relaxed.

Tian Yueshi stood beside Jin An, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands and handing it to him:

“Going to Marijoa is not only about winning, but also about proving something.

Don't be too stubborn, okay? "

Jin An took the tea, looked down, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"Don't worry, I haven't lived long enough."

Tianyue Toki smiled slightly, then turned around and handed the tactics book to Whitebeard and Loki:

“Here is the plan for defending Elbaf. Everyone must follow the steps above.

As long as time passes, the balance of victory will tilt towards us."

Whitebeard picked up the wine barrel and interrupted her with a laugh:

"Plans are plans, but on the battlefield, fists are the best tool of persuasion."

"Brother, take it easy. Don't forget that you still have a promise to fulfill."

Jinan looked at Whitebeard with deep respect and concern in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard raised his eyebrows and laughed heroically:

“I haven’t lived enough.

Boy, don't let me down!"

......

Everyone finally stood in the square outside the meeting hall. The huge war drums had already sounded, and the soldiers' slogans came in waves.

Jinan's troops have begun to gather, and the warships in the distance are anchored in the port of Elbaf like behemoths, ready to set off at any time.

Jinan looked back at his teammates standing behind him.

There was no fear in their eyes, only determination and trust.

"Everyone, we part ways here, but we will meet again on the other side of victory."

He said, his tone firm, and then slowly raised his hand.

"For freedom, for the future—let's go!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, he led his elite troops onto the warship, looking firmly toward the distant horizon.

Under the sky of Elbaf, the will to fight has been ignited, and the final chapter of this war is about to begin.
