#285 - Chapter 285: Flames of Revenge
Jin An had already scanned the warship beneath him completely while standing at the pier.
To ensure he gathered accurate information, he even used his Observation Haki to quickly grasp the entire warship's personnel configuration.
As expected, the warship was full of weaklings with no combat ability.
The corners of his mouth slightly lifted, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
This configuration was perfect for his next actions.
He gently extended his finger, as if touching something in the air.
Following his finger's movement, an ethereal door slowly unfolded before him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jin An stepped into the door.
The moment he disappeared, the door silently closed as if it had never existed.
"A gentleman takes ten years to avenge himself, but unfortunately, I am not a gentleman."
Jin An's voice was low and cold, echoing in the empty void.
He was not one for tolerance and waiting; revenge must be taken on the spot.
He instantly left the warship, and after his departure, everything around him was silent, without any movement.
He had already prepared a backup plan outside the ship's cabin.
If anyone tried to enter, he could instantly return to his original position, ensuring no trace was left behind.
Jin An moved swiftly and discreetly.
Next, he needed to accomplish an extremely important task, which would be extremely detrimental to him if others knew about it.
He moved quickly in that exclusive space, like a ghost, with everything under his control.
Jin An's departure did not attract anyone's attention.
Everyone on the warship was immersed in their own world, completely unaware of his every move.
On the deck of the warship, several soldiers on duty leaned against the railing, drowsy.
Their vigilance had decreased due to the long period of peace, and they were now yawning, their eyelids heavily closing.
The occasional sound of wind and waves was like a lullaby, urging them to enter dreamland.
Inside the cabin, more soldiers had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Their breathing was even, their faces showing peacefulness in their sleep.
A long period of peaceful life had relaxed their vigilance, and they believed that this night would be as peaceful as usual.
No one noticed that Jin An had left, and the warship was still sailing alone on the sea.
Only this warship was quietly moving forward on the sea, like a fallen leaf floating on the water.
The night was as dark as ink, and the sky was dotted with stars, reflecting on the calm sea.
When Jin An left, everything on the warship remained the same, as if nothing had happened.
The soldiers were immersed in their dreams, not even realizing that their leader had quietly left.
The sea breeze gently blew, taking away the last trace of Jin An's aura.
......
In the latter half of the Grand Line, people flocked to the coast to witness this shocking scene.
"Is that the Big Mom Pirates?"
A young fisherman widened his eyes, almost unable to believe the scene before him.
"It's so spectacular. I can't imagine how happy I would be if I could join this pirate crew,"
Another person said excitedly, his eyes full of longing.
"These pirate ships must exceed 100, right? Is this the strength of a great pirate?"
An old fisherman murmured to himself, his tone revealing a hint of awe.
"I can't imagine how happy these pirates are every day..."
Someone whispered enviously in the crowd.
Charlotte Linlin, standing in front of the main ship, naturally noticed the attention they had received along the way.
Her eyes were sharp and full of majesty, and she looked around, a sense of pride welling up in her heart.
She knew that this was exactly the effect she desired, to make the whole world feel her presence and power.
"This is what I want, to make everyone fear me,"
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then the smile gradually expanded into a wild laugh.
Her sons and daughters were sitting below her in order, and when they saw their mother laugh.
The smiles were contagious, and everyone began to laugh.
"This war will be easy for our Big Mom Pirates,"
Katakuri said firmly, his eyes flashing with confidence.
"Those marines are probably crying for their parents now, hahahahaha,"
Smoothie made no secret of her ridicule.
"Mom is now the undisputed Emperor of the Sea. In this battle, we will destroy everything and take it down quickly!"
Owen said excitedly, the weapon in his hand shining in the light.
The Big Mom Pirates were full of confidence.
With their strength, dealing with a small Marine branch was simply a piece of cake.
Everyone on the ship was laughing, celebrating the upcoming victory.
This operation was mainly to expand the reputation of the pirate group, suppress those rising Marines, and make the Marines recognize reality.
Charlotte Linlin stood at the bow of the ship, overlooking the sea ahead, her eyes firm and full of murderous intent.
She had only one thought in her mind: "This war will let the whole world know who is the real Emperor of the Sea."
Kaido stood at the bow of the ship, overlooking the Big Mom Pirates who had fallen into revelry, and a trace of unease rose in his heart.
The pirates' cheers echoed in the sea breeze, and the fanatical expressions on their faces made Kaido frown.
He sighed softly, his hands gripping the long sword in his hand, his eyes deep and complex.
As an experienced old pirate, he knew the principle that a proud army is bound to lose.
However, with the strength of him and Charlotte Linlin, it should not be difficult to attack a Marine branch.
"The variable lies in Jin An."
Kaido recalled the decision to unite with Charlotte Linlin, his heart full of contradictions.
At this moment, he had to admit that he was still unsure about the advantages and disadvantages of this decision.
"I hope you can bring me some freshness."
He smiled coldly, his fingers stroking the wound on his chest, the corner of his mouth raising in a dangerous arc.
For this revenge, Kaido not only united with Charlotte Linlin. During his time in Wano Country, he experienced many changes and challenges, and he is now completely different.
His strength has been greatly improved in many life-and-death battles.
Kaido's eyes flashed with cold light, he wanted to personally trample Jin An under his feet and make him feel unprecedented pain and humiliation.
"Jin An, how long can you last?"
Kaido whispered in his heart, his fist slowly clenched.
The sea breeze roared past, with a salty smell hitting his face.
The fire of revenge burned in his heart, and every bone in his body yearned for battle.
"This time, I will make you pay all the price."
Kaido silently vowed, his eyes becoming more and more firm, full of endless murderous intent.
He stood there quietly, waiting, preparing to welcome this destined extraordinary battle.
His eyes burned with the flames of revenge, waiting for the final showdown with Jin An.
