Chapter 377 Persuading to Retreat
Jin An stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on the black-bearded Marshall D. Teach in the temple like a cold blade.
He was calculating rapidly in his mind, his thoughts surging like waves.
Today's Teach is still far from reaching his peak, but he is ambitious and will do anything to achieve his goals. Once such a person grows up, he will definitely be a big scourge on the sea.
"Should we kill him right away before he becomes stronger?" This thought lingered in Jin An's mind and gradually became clear.
The murderous intent quietly emerged from his eyes like an undercurrent.
He knew clearly that Blackbeard Teach was no ordinary person. If he did not take action in advance, he would definitely disrupt the entire world in the future.
However, just as this murderous intent was forming in Jin'an's heart, Blackbeard's senses keenly captured this hint of deadly aura.
Teach's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes scanned the surroundings like a venomous snake.
The observation Haki spread out all over the place, but nothing unusual was detected.
However, he did not hesitate at all and directly activated the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Dark Water!"
As Teach whispered, a powerful gravitational force suddenly burst out from his hands, like an invisible giant hand, madly pulling everything around it.
The stones on the ground, the pillars of the temple, and even the dust in the air all seemed to be torn apart and gathered towards Teach.
Jin An felt the strong gravitational force, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.
He snorted coldly, and his figure flashed like lightning, and he evacuated the spot in an instant.
Although the gravity was strong, it was not difficult for him to escape.
He had already made preparations. After all, he would never underestimate any opponent in this world, especially someone as ambitious and scheming as Teach.
But what surprised Jin An was the ability the other party used, "Dark Dark Fruit?"
This ability has actually been mastered by the other party!
"This is not good news..."
In the original world line, Blackbeard left a scar on Shanks' eye when he was young and had not yet obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit.
And now that the other party has obtained the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit at this age, he dare not imagine how high his potential will be.
Therefore, Jin'an did not move too far away, but lurked in a place where Blackbeard could not detect him.
His eyes were sharp as a torch, and he calmly observed Teach's every move. All this was just a test.
Blackbeard's reaction speed and response method were beyond Jinan's expectations.
Because of this, he had a deeper understanding of the extent of the threat posed by Teach.
"Sure enough, it should not be underestimated."
Jin An nodded secretly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
This battle may come sooner than he expected.
Blackbeard stood in the center of the temple, and the gloomy expression on his face gradually returned to calm.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but his heart was not relaxed at all.
The murderous aura just now came out of nowhere, but it was real and deadly.
He had a vague idea that perhaps a powerful enemy had been targeting him, but he was not afraid.
Teach knew that his road to rise was destined to be bumpy and full of dangers and challenges.
If someone wants to come, then come, he is ready.
Jin An had also made a decision at this moment. He had made up his mind to intervene in this chess game.
Just as Jin An was about to take action, he suddenly felt a subtle force on his shoulder.
A hand patted his shoulder gently, as if silently reminding him of something.
His reaction was extremely sharp, almost instantaneous, and his whole body was like a taut bow and arrow, ready to explode at any time.
"Don't act rashly." A low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
The voice was not loud, but it carried a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
Jin An turned around quickly, his eyes flashing towards the source of the sound.
A strange and chilling face appeared before him - Barrorick Redfield.
He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation and decisively evacuated from the spot.
The figure disappeared into the darkness like a ghost, keeping a safe distance and staring coldly at Redfield.
Redfield did not chase after him. Instead, he smiled slightly, as if he admired Jin'an's quick reaction.
He raised his hand and made a simple gesture, indicating Jin An to follow him.
Then he turned around and slowly walked away from the spot.
Jin An's brows furrowed slightly, and his inner alertness reached its peak.
This mysterious person who suddenly appeared is obviously not simple.
Redfield's aura was steady, like a beast hiding in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
Jin An was silent for a moment, thinking about the situation at hand.
Although Redfield's appearance disrupted his plans, it also aroused a hint of curiosity in him.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to follow and see.
No matter how complicated the situation is, he must remain calm and not reveal any flaws easily.
He knew that since Redfield chose to contact him, he must have his own plans.
Jin An followed Redfield silently, keeping a proper distance.
The two of them walked lightly, making almost no sound, as if the whole world was shrouded in silence.
Along the way, Jin An kept observing his surroundings, quickly analyzing possible situations in his mind.
Soon, the two came to a hidden corner, surrounded by thick shadows.
Redfield stopped and turned to look at Jin An, with a hint of amusement and depth in his eyes.
"You're very interesting." Redfield chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his voice, "However, I advise you not to attack that guy for the time being. He is a very vigilant person and will definitely get everyone to kill you together."
"Besides...that guy's strength is definitely not as simple as it seems."
Jin An did not respond immediately, but stared at the other party calmly, his vigilance still undiminished.
He knew that a man like Redfield would never do something without a purpose.
Since the other party stopped him from taking action, there must be a reason.
Seeing that Jin An did not express his opinion, Redfield smiled slightly and continued:
"You want to deal with Blackbeard, which is not difficult, but now is not the best time. Why not wait and see what he can do?"
Jin An remained silent as he evaluated the truthfulness of Redfield's words.
Although what the other party said seemed to make sense, he was not prepared to easily believe a stranger's words.
He said coldly: "Are you stopping me because you have a bigger plan, or is it just a simple interest?"
Redfield's eyes were deep, as if he could see through Jin An's thoughts. He smiled and replied meaningfully:
"Maybe it's both. But I can tell you that the situation in this world is far more complicated than you think. Instead of wasting energy here, it's better to keep a hand and wait for a better opportunity."
Jin An pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
He knew that what Redfield said was not entirely unreasonable.
Instead of acting rashly now, it is better to wait and see how the situation will evolve.
But even so, he would not completely trust the person in front of him.
"Okay, I won't touch him for now." Jin An said calmly.
Redfield nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.
His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the low and mysterious voice echoing in the air:
"The fun is just beginning, isn't it?"
