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

Without any pause, his eyes instantly became sharper.

Jin An took a deep breath, adjusted his pace, quickly turned his body, used the force, and suddenly launched another attack.

This time, the angle of his sword became more tricky and his speed increased suddenly. The sword light brought up a strong storm, impacting the defense line of the Five Elder Stars.

However, the Five Elders reacted extremely quickly.

"Nice attack, but not enough..."

His figure swayed slightly and then disappeared from the spot, as if he had turned into a gust of wind.

"Hey~"

Jin An's eyes twitched, and he turned around quickly. With his extraordinary acumen, he reacted and immediately raised his knife to meet the attack.

The Five Elder Stars had appeared behind him, their hands condensed with heart-pounding airflow, and they attacked Jin'an from behind without hesitation.

The air fluctuated violently the moment he attacked, and the surrounding space seemed to collapse in an instant, rushing towards Jinan with the power to destroy everything.

Jin An instantly became alert and turned his body almost instinctively, quickly avoiding the attack.

He felt the powerful force behind him brushing against his skin, as if even the air was shattered.

However, Jin'an did not relax because he knew this was not the end.

He counterattacked again instantly, and the blade swept out, slashing straight at the figures of the Five Elder Stars with infinite momentum.

However, the Five Elders' reaction was even quicker. At the moment when the blade was about to make contact, he suddenly bounced his body and leaped upward, easily avoiding the fatal blow.

Jin An couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

He didn't really want to hurt the Five Elders, but wanted to test his bottom line.

During every contact, Jin An would guess the opponent's strength and attack method through subtle reactions.

Now, he can clearly feel that the strength of this group of five elder stars should not be underestimated.

"This kind of power is completely different from the brutal attacks of the Five Elders before."

Jin An frowned and gradually made a judgment in his mind.

The previous Five Elders relied more on enormous force to suppress, but the new Five Elders now not only have powerful attack power, but also have extraordinary reaction speed and control, a balance of offense and defense, and even make Jinan's attacks somewhat difficult to deal with.

He slowed down his pace slightly and observed every reaction of the Five Elders. At this moment, he realized that the attack of the Five Elders was not just a simple battle with him, but more like a tentative way to detect Jin'an's defense and flaws.

"Sure enough, every step on the battlefield must be cautious."

Jin An was secretly alert and his eyes became sharper.

The confrontation between the two seemed to have entered a new level.

Jin An understood that this was not just a simple hand-to-hand combat, but more of a contest of wisdom and strength.

Facing this group of elite five elder stars, he must deal with them with caution. Any negligence may become an opportunity for them to counterattack.

However, the Five Elders did not give Jinan much breathing space.

His figure disappeared like the wind again, and almost in an instant, he appeared on the other side of Jin'an.

He swung his hands, and waves of energy rushed towards Jin An like a torrent, as if to swallow him whole.

Jin An instantly realized that the Five Elders had launched a full-scale attack with far greater force than before.

Everything before my eyes became more and more complicated, and every action became crucial.

He gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength, and swung the sword again. This time, a light sharper than before burst out from the sword. The blade instantly tore through the air and rushed forward with a powerful air wave.

This sword is not only to defeat the opponent, but also to break through the powerful aura that is surrounding him.

"As long as we break through this line of defense, victory will be within our reach!"

Jin An shouted secretly in his heart, and the determination in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

Jin'an's long sword drew a brilliant arc in the air, and the violent power carried by the blade was like lightning breaking through the air, pointing directly at the defense core of the Five Elder Stars.

However, just as he was about to strike with all his strength, a cold sneer suddenly came from his ear——

"Want to break through our defense? That's wishful thinking."

The voice was low and cold, like a sharp blade piercing directly into Jin'an's heart.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the movement of the long sword did not pause at all, but a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

He knew that he had never revealed any unnecessary emotions, but the other party seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and saw his intentions clearly.

The Five Elders stood in the distance with a mocking sneer on their faces.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Jin An. The air around him twisted and tumbled because of his presence, as if everything about him was wrapped in an invisible field.

The moment Jin'an's blade approached him, it seemed to be blocked by a huge invisible barrier. Although the blade energy was still violent, it was unable to tear through the solid line of defense.

The Five Elders raised their chins and spoke again with a condescending and cold attitude:

"You think you can shake our power with just a knife? You are so naive."

Jin An did not respond. His eyes were as sharp as a blade. He held the knife in both hands, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense.

He never underestimated any enemy, especially the new Five Elders in front of him with unfathomable strength.

But the other party's words were clearly a provocation.

Jin An took a deep breath, the blade in his hand slightly raised, and his aura gathered more strongly.

However, at this moment, another of the Five Elders slowly stepped out.

His steps were steady, and each one carried an imposing pressure that could not be ignored, as if the entire earth was shaking with his presence.

He had a sinister smile on his face, and his voice was so low that it seemed to come from the abyss:

"Stay here forever. It would be nice to add some fertilizer to our flowers and plants."

There was contempt and even cynicism in his tone, as if Jin An's existence was not worth mentioning to him at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red energy light began to condense in his hand. The light was like a burning flame, but it carried a corrosive aura. The air around him became hot and oppressive in an instant.

Jin An's eyes narrowed slightly. He could clearly feel the destructive power contained in that energy.

This is not an ordinary attack, but a deadly force that directly erodes the body and mind.

He gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, leaned his body slightly backward, and then quickly adjusted his posture, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

The Five Elders looked at Jinan coldly, and the energy light in their hands gradually condensed into shape.

He waved his hands lightly, and a dark red beam of light entangled in the air like a chain, sweeping towards Jin'an.

This attack brought with it an irresistible sense of oppression, as if it was going to swallow up the entire battlefield.

"It looks like you guys are planning to go together."

Jin An raised his head slightly, with a hint of sneer in his tone.

His voice was not loud, but it carried an authority that could not be ignored.

"Alright, I just want to see how capable you are."

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in Jinan's hand suddenly shook, and the aura on the blade burst out instantly, like a beam of light rushing straight up into the sky.

The sword energy was like a dragon, instantly tearing through the air and colliding head-on with the dark red energy beam.

In the center of the battlefield, a huge shock wave swept around like a storm. The rocks on the ground were shattered into pieces and splashed into the air. All those who were close were shocked and retreated by the aftermath of this force.

Another of the Five Elders looked at this scene, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold smile:

"Jin'an, you are indeed powerful, but don't forget, this is Marijoa, our home ground."

After saying that, his figure suddenly flashed and he disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, he appeared on Jin'an's side, and swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, sweeping across with a sharp sword energy.

The sword energy was so sharp that it cut through the air almost instantly and went straight to Jin'an's shoulder.

Jin An turned around suddenly and accurately blocked the sword with the long sword in his hand.

The moment the swords collided, sparks flew, accompanied by a deafening sound of metal collision.

A huge force came from the blade, which made Jinan's arm numb, but he stood firmly in place without taking a step back.
