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

However, the eyes of Elbaf's warriors did not show much relaxation, but instead contained an innate alertness.

Even though the situation on the battlefield now seemed to be under their control, they knew that the battle was far from over.

"It's just an outpost. The enemy's real strength is still behind."

The elder watched this fierce battle from a distance, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Their main fleet will arrive sooner or later. Everything in this sea area cannot be so simple."

Despite this, Elbaf's defense remains extremely solid.

The weapons in the hands of the giant warriors were like moving fortresses. With every axe strike, the enemy's defense line collapsed.

The interweaving of firepower, the freezing of frost, and the continuous attacks of Enel and Kuzan left the enemy with no chance to organize an effective counterattack.

At this point, there is no longer any enemy organization on the battlefield, and all the World Government soldiers are in chaos.

Their faces were filled with fear and anxiety. The warships that they had once been so proud of were now like broken puppets, being trampled at will by the giant warriors and the firepower of the new navy.

In such a tragic situation, every soldier of Elbaf, and even every soldier of the New Navy, showed their tenacity and determination in silence.

They knew that the battle was far from over, however, no matter how the enemy tried to fight back, they would not back down.

Inside the command room of the Five Elders, a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge battlefield map and display screen, with subtle anxiety and contemplation hidden in their eyes.

The war has been going on for some time, but they still haven't found any trace of the name that has been keeping them awake at night - Jin'an.

All this seemed to be beyond their expectations.

Every member of the Five Elder Stars is observing this blue sea in his own way.

"How could this be?"

An elder from the Five Elder Stars said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the rapidly collapsing enemy ships on the screen.

His brows were furrowed and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, his heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

Jinan's existence, like an indelible shadow, hangs over their hearts.

No matter how the situation on the battlefield changed, they still couldn't find any trace of Jin An, not even any of his ships.

"He's probably lurking around a corner."

Another member of the Five Elders spoke coldly, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife. Through the display screen, he seemed to be able to see the movements of every ship on the entire battlefield, but he just couldn't find Jinan.

His face gradually darkened and he sneered,

"He must be hiding something."

The other Five Elders sitting in front of the screen frowned slightly, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and shook his head gently:

“No, it can’t be that simple to hide.

He must have made his move.

But what exactly are his actions?"

The Five Elders did not respond directly, but reached out and raised his pupils. In his deep eyes, there was a kind of deep thought that could not be concealed.

His mind quickly worked on the complex situation on the battlefield, as if he was trying to find some missed flaw in this chaos.

He stood up quietly and walked to the huge map on the other wall. He pointed to an area with complex battle lines and raised his eyebrows slightly:

“This place is weird.

Jinan’s fleet did not appear here at all.

There’s no way they were just being ignored by us.”

Another of the Five Elders looked around, as if looking for a breakthrough from every clue.

His eyes rested on the wreckage of the defeated enemy ships, and his heart was filled with subtle fluctuations.

He couldn't help but whispered:

"Could it be that... he is in a hidden area in this sea area? Or... he is not on any ship at all and is directly participating in the battle?"

As soon as he said this, the other five elder stars fell into deep thought.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire command room suddenly froze.

The existence of Jinan has obviously become the most difficult problem in their eyes.

"If he is really not on the fleet, then his strength will be more terrifying than we imagined."

One of the Five Elders spoke with a kind of worry that was difficult to conceal.

"He has proven himself to be strong enough to challenge our entire fleet."

"Keep sending troops and never let your guard down."

Another of the Five Elders spoke in a low but firm voice. He slammed his hands on the table, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"No matter where he is hiding, we must eliminate him completely! Otherwise, the entire battle situation will be out of control."

As his orders were given, the other five elder stars in the command room nodded one after another, their eyes filled with coldness and determination.

The change in the battle situation was not as simple as they expected. This battle was not only to resolve the conflict in Elbaf, but also to completely eliminate Jinan, which they saw as the biggest uncertainty.

After receiving the order, the commander immediately began to deploy more troops on the battlefield.

They continue to increase their investment both in terms of quantity and quality.

A new fleet quietly appeared at the far end of the battlefield, the military flags on the ships fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere of iron and blood once again enveloped the entire sea.

The sound of artillery fire and the roar of ships continued to ring out, but this time, it seemed different from every previous attack.

Every one of the Five Elders knew clearly in their hearts that they were not just fighting against the warriors of Elbaf, they were fighting against the shadows of Jin'an.

As new forces poured into the battlefield, the massive fleet surged toward Elbaf's defenses.

Shells were flying, ships were moving in all directions, and the smoke on the sea was growing thicker.

The Five Elder Stars have been keeping their eyes fixed on the battle situation, but no matter how the battlefield changes, there is always a question in their hearts that cannot be solved: Where is Jinan?

They knew that Jin'an's appearance would be the real turning point of this battle.

Now, the only thing they can do is to continue sending troops and wait for the moment when he reveals a flaw.

Jin An stood on the deck, gazing from afar at the gradually approaching red earth continent.

The continent was like a huge red rock, standing firmly between the sea and the sky. The gentle sea breeze blew across his face, bringing with it a slightly salty smell.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the ship was completely different from the previous relaxed one. There was a sense of oppression in the air, as if a war was about to break out on this vast sea.

As the image of the Red Earth Continent became clearer and clearer, there was no extra expression on Jin An's face, but his eyes became deeper.

Although he had foreseen this moment, when he actually saw the familiar land, complex ripples still arose in his heart.

That red earth continent carries countless memories and has always been his goal - to destroy, conquer, and reshape.

"arrive."

He whispered to himself, a certain cold determination in his voice.
