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

"when......"

Jin'an's long sword cut through the air and collided with the sharp claws of the Five Elder Stars in front of him, causing a deafening roar.

The powerful impact forced him to take a step back quickly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked into a long crack due to his movement.

He did not make any unnecessary movements and quickly steadied his body, his eyes still fixed on the ferocious opponent in front of him.

Despite the fierce battle, Jinan's brain did not stop for a moment.

His mind was working rapidly, analyzing the various anomalies of the enemy in front of him.

The changes in the Five Elder Stars' forms are obviously not ordinary combat skills. Their distorted appearances, extreme power increases, and even the aura they exude carry some indescribable evil that seem to be somewhat similar to the abilities of devil fruits.

"The power of the devil fruit is... not right."

Jin An frowned slightly, the blade flashed with cold light, and he repelled the oncoming claws of the Five Elder Stars.

He had sharp eyes and vaguely noticed some unusual details.

"If this is really a Devil Fruit ability, the performance of these Five Elders shouldn't be so consistent.

Moreover, assimilation on such a large scale is... impossible."

Thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind, and his body moved quickly to avoid the sharp claws swung by another of the Five Elder Stars.

He glanced around and saw that not only the Five Elders in front of him looked like this, but even the enemies surrounding Loki and Whitebeard looked like this.

"What on earth is going on with these guys..."

Jin'an's gaze became deeper, and he felt a vague sense of uneasiness.

A large number of the Five Elders showed such forms at the same time. If it was not the ability of a devil fruit, it was most likely related to some kind of technology or experiment.

His thoughts were interrupted by another fierce attack.

One of the Five Elders swooped down from the sky, staring at Jin An with his blood-red eyes, filled with endless murderous intent.

His sharp claws were like a huge iron hook, grabbing straight towards Jin'an's head, as if to tear him into pieces.

"roll!"

Jin An let out a low shout, and the sword light was like thunder, quickly slashing out a crescent-shaped sword energy, colliding with the sharp claws of the Five Elder Stars.

The moment the sword energy burst out, a huge shock wave raised the surrounding dust. The attack of the Five Elders was blocked abruptly, and his body was shaken back several meters, but that hideous smile was still on his face.

Jin An did not relax at all. He quickly seized the opportunity, swept his blade across, and forced back another of the approaching Five Elders.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water, but the thinking in his mind never stopped.

"If these forms are the result of some technology... then do they have weaknesses?"

Jin An whispered to himself, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He quickly looked around, observing the movement patterns of these Five Elder Stars, trying to find flaws in them.

On the other side of the battlefield, Whitebeard was swinging his long sword, generating a powerful shock wave.

The huge energy fluctuations blew away several of the Five Elders around them, but they quickly stood up again, and their twisted bodies were like tireless fighting machines, and they pounced on Whitebeard again.

“These guys are tough.”

Whitebeard's eyes were cold, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"But, that's all."

He swung the sword again and with a fierce blow, the huge impact force tore through everything in front of him and directly knocked two of the Five Elders away.

However, he also noticed that the Five Elders had an extremely fast recovery ability. Even if they were severely injured, their bodies' distorted shapes could be quickly restored.

"It seems that this is not an ordinary power."

Whitebeard muttered, with a hint of alertness in his eyes.

Although his movements were still fierce, he was silently analyzing the enemy's abnormalities in his mind.

Not far away, Loki was also surrounded by several Five Elders.

His domineering power created powerful waves on the battlefield, and every attack was accompanied by a huge roar.

Despite this, his brows remained furrowed.

"These guys...can recover instantly after getting hurt."

Loki stared coldly at one of the Five Elders in front of him. That guy's shoulder had just been broken by him, but just a few seconds later, the bones and muscles grew back at a strange speed, as if he had never been injured at all.

"If they can recover infinitely, it will be disadvantageous for us if we delay any further."

Loki sneered, clenched the hammer with both hands, and exerted force again.

His movements became faster and faster, trying to use absolute strength to completely defeat these tough enemies.

While fighting, Jinan observed the situation of Whitebeard and Loki.

He soon discovered that the recovery abilities of these Five Elders did not seem to be completely unlimited.

Although they can quickly repair most injuries, after suffering a certain degree of damage, their movements will become slow and even reveal brief flaws.

"I found the key..."

A gleam of light flashed in Jin'an's eyes. He quickly glanced in the direction of Whitebeard and Loki and whispered:

“Keep pressing, but don’t rush to win.

These guys' ability to recover requires a huge amount of energy, and we have to wear them down."

His words were conveyed to his teammates through secret codes on the battlefield, and Whitebeard and Loki quickly adjusted their tactics.

They were no longer in a hurry to kill head-on, but instead used continuous high-intensity attacks to continuously consume the energy of these Five Elder Stars.

The situation on the battlefield began to change subtly.

Although the Five Elders' attacks were still fierce, their movements gradually became stiff, and their violent aura began to weaken.

"It looks like our victory is only a matter of time."

Whitebeard said in a low voice, a cold smile on his lips.

Jin An gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes like a hawk on the Five Elders in front of him:

"Whether you are cloned monsters or products of technology, today, you will all be put to death!"

On the battlefield, the bodies of the Five Elders were shrouded in twisted black fog, and the blood-red light in their eyes was like the will-o'-the-wisp in the abyss of hell, which was creepy.

Their expressions were completely devoid of human emotions, replaced by a cold and silent madness, as if they were machines endlessly executing a single instruction: destroy.

"They have lost their minds."

Loki looked at these crazy five elders, frowned, and spoke in a low voice.

"They didn't care what we said, and they didn't care about defense at all... This was a fight to the death."

The charge of the Five Elders was like a violent storm, completely disorganized yet carrying an absolute oppressive force.

Every time they attacked, they were reckless. They knew they would get hurt, or even that they might be completely destroyed, but they still rushed towards Jin An and others without fear of death.

Jin An swung the long sword in his hand quickly. His movements were precise and sharp. Every time the blade was swung, it would bring up a strong sword energy, forcing back the Five Elders who were rushing towards him.

But even so, those Five Elder Stars still came like a tide, one after another, completely ignoring their own injuries.
