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

Chapter 72: Passing by Wano Country in a Hurry

"This is Wano Country..."

Tianyue Toki strolled along the streets where cherry blossoms were floating.

The houses on both sides of the street are the same as where she lived 800 years ago. (All are Japanese style)

She arrived at the place she had always longed for, but she was not as happy as she had expected.

Jinan stood at the door of a shop, his hand gently resting on the old wooden door.

The mottled light from the tree shadows fell on his face, forming scattered spots of light.

"Now that we've sent you to your destination, we'll leave first."

Jinan didn't want to stay here any longer. This place didn't give him a good feeling.

Moreover, after arriving in Wano Country, he knew where to go next.

The annoying thing is that there are no Den Den Mushi for sale here. After all, this country practices a closed-door policy and almost nothing from outside can come in.

"Haven't we just arrived in Wano Country not long ago?" Tian Yueshi struggled a little.

Her heart was full of contradictions, and she forced a smile.

Tian Shiyue stopped and looked at Jinan's back. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

She bit her lower lip lightly, as if there was a lump in her throat.

She stretched out her hand, as if wanting to touch him, but ultimately did not take that step.

Jin An turned around and his eyes met hers. He could sense that she was a little reluctant.

After all, she only has Jin An and his friends in this world.

He nodded slightly, "Yes, but I have been out of touch with my men and friends for too long."

Tian Yueshi hesitated slightly, but still took a step forward, condensing all his unexpressed gratitude into a hug.

"Thank you. This journey is no longer lonely because of you."

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the petals beside them, as if to add a bit of poetry to this farewell.

"..."

Watching his back gradually becoming blurred in the crowd, Tian Shiyue felt a little uneasy.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she took a deep breath, and the anxiety about the future in her heart ignited the courage to act.

All the sounds in the air seemed to be silent in an instant, and the only sound in the whole world was her heartbeat.

She understood that what she longed for was not only his companionship on this journey, but also the ability to face together with him the countless landscapes that might be encountered in the future.

Even though there was still some uncertainty in her heart, it was not enough to stop her from moving forward.

"call......"

She took a deep breath, as if to store all the floral scent and fresh air in her chest, raised her head, and followed his steps with a firm gaze.

The moment she made the decision, all her hesitation and fear were crushed by her clenched hands and drifted away on the path behind her.

She began to chase, her steps getting faster and faster until she was running, and every step was a ritual of saying goodbye to the past.

She is no longer the woman standing at the intersection, confused and waiting. Her past thoughts can no longer restrain her actions, and she is no longer a person who lives for Wano Country.

"Hey! Jinan!"

She called out loudly to the disappearing figure.

Jinan felt a little strange, but still stopped.

I don’t know why Tian Yueshi called me. Their interaction should have ended.

The woman stood in front of the other person, holding the branches of the cherry tree with her fingertips slightly white.

Her breathing was more rapid than usual, revealing a sense of exhaustion as if she had used up almost all her strength, but there was an unwavering light burning in her eyes.

"I want to see places I have never been to." Her voice was low and powerful, expressing her inner expectations.

There is a determination to move forward in his words, "The world outside must be very vast. I want to go and see it. I want to experience that strange world."

Jin An looked at the other person strangely. Such words shouldn't come out of her mouth.

After spending some time together, he knew what kind of feelings Tokitoki had towards Wano Country. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the other party to make such a decision.

"You have to think carefully. I may never come to Wano Country again."

Tian Yueshi nodded heavily, "Of course I have thought about it. I have left my footprints in this place. I can't find any reason to stay here any longer."

Tian Yueshi gently loosened her hands that were tightly grasping the branches and looked at the people of this country.

She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to suck all the air circulating in the area into her chest.

She clenched her sweaty fists, then slowly relaxed them, as if she had come to terms with the uneasiness in her heart.

"let's go..."

She turned and looked toward the road leading to the coast.

Every step seems so heavy yet solid, as if paving one's own road.

Behind her, Jin An was staring at the other person quietly. He did not try to stop her, but just followed her silently towards the beach.

"..."

Kingdom of Sorbey.

Kuzan was anxiously waiting for news from the headquarters.

"Brother Kuzan, is there still no news about Brother Jin'an?" Daxiong looked at the life card in his hand, his heart full of worry about Jin'an.

Kuzan shook his head helplessly, "Not yet. It's as if the lantern fish has disappeared from this world. No one has seen it reappear."

After the battle stopped, they immediately rushed to the place where the two sides fought, but unfortunately, nothing was left in the vast ocean.

"Looking at the status of the life card, there is no need to worry about his safety, but why hasn't he contacted us for such a long time?" Kuzan was confused.

"..."

“Blu blu blu…Blu blu blu…”

The two looked at each other, and Kuzan immediately answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, this is Kuzan."

The steady voice of Sengoku came from the Den Den Mushi, "Kuzan, there is news about Jinan."

Big Bear's ears perked up, and he couldn't wait to know what was going on in Jinan.

"General Zhan Guo, may I ask where Jin'an is now?" Kuzan's tone was a little hurried.

"He is not in danger now, don't worry." Zhan Guo continued, "That guy is now in the new world..."

"New World?!!" Kuzan screamed.

Sengoku covered his ears and silently moved the Den Den Mushi further away.

"This is impossible..."

Big Bear was dumbfounded. They had all joined the navy recently and had a basic understanding of the Grand Line. That was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.

"The news is correct. It was brought by someone our navy had planted in the Whitebeard Pirates." Sengoku said confidently.

"Whitebeard Pirates?"

Kuzan and Kuma felt like their brains were not enough. How come this matter involved that dreaded pirate group?

Zhan Guo also had a headache. He put his hand on his temple and continued:

"I have asked the G5 Navy to keep an eye out for him. It all depends on his luck..."

Fortunately, I met someone from the G5 branch and was able to bring the boy back to the Marine Headquarters.

Bad luck, then...there's nothing to say.
