#448 - Chapter 448: High-sounding

Jin's smile remained unchanged as he shrugged, his hands in his pockets, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Balance? The 'balance' you speak of is merely an excuse for you so-called Celestial Dragons to remain high above, exploiting the weak."

His tone suddenly turned icy, his gaze piercing Jaygarcia Saturn with the sharpness of a sword. "And I, have no interest in maintaining your hypocritical order."

Saturn's face grew increasingly gloomy, his body trembling slightly, fists clenched, as if suppressing immense anger.

The other five Elders standing beside him also revealed murderous intent. They had never encountered such a bold rebel, a full-fledged admiral daring to publicly challenge the authority of the World Government.

The surrounding air instantly became oppressive, murderous intent intertwining, like a storm about to erupt.

The marines couldn't help but tense up, gripping their weapons, holding their breath, and waiting for the upcoming explosion.

Everyone knew in their hearts that if Jin were to truly go to war with the Five Elders, the battle would be an unprecedented disaster.

But Jin seemed unconcerned, his smile still confident, his gaze as calm as ice, as if he had seen through everything.

"All you want is an obedient puppet. Unfortunately, I am not your tool," Jin said coldly, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination. "If you really want to make a move today, I'll play along to the end."

Jaygarcia Saturn's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, a vague sense of unease in his heart.

He knew that Jin was no ordinary opponent, and even if the Five Elders were powerful, they couldn't easily suppress him.

Moreover, the power that Jin possessed might far exceed their expectations.

On the battlefield, both sides were locked in a brief standoff. The marines watched the situation nervously, unsure of what would happen next.

Blackbeard also remained silent, although a smile still hung on his lips, the previous ease was gone from his eyes, and he too felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Just then, Jin suddenly took a step forward, his figure moving forward like a phantom, his aura erupting suddenly, the air filled with suffocating dominance.

The Five Elders' and Blackbeard's gazes were instantly fixed on him, and the next second, they felt an irresistible force rushing towards them.

"Come on, I want to see who falls first today," Jin's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable aura, as if a god of war had descended, looking down on all living beings.

Saturn's face instantly turned ashen, he clenched his fists and roared, "Attack!"

With his command, intense battle fluctuations erupted across the battlefield.

The battle between Jin and the Five Elders was about to begin. Blackbeard took the opportunity to mobilize his men to attack again, while Jin's figure dashed to the front lines like lightning, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the forces led by the Five Elders.

On the battlefield, blood and roars intertwined, the Holy Land guards' attacks swept in like a tide, and Jin's mountain-like, unshakeable figure became a nightmare in their hearts.

Every attack from the Five Elders was calmly defused by him, domineering aura and sword intent colliding in the air, emitting deafening roars.

Jin stood in front of Kong, shaking his head slightly, signaling him not to resist anymore.

This action was extremely subtle, almost imperceptible, but it was full of meaning in Kong's eyes.

Kong's fist clenched tightly, his heart filled with irrepressible anger.

As a senior figure in the Navy, he could not accept that his years of effort, the future of the Navy, would be sentenced to death by the Five Elders' casual declaration of "rebellion."

It was at this moment.

"Jin has rebelled against the World Government and is a heinous criminal. He is now sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!" Marcus Mars' voice was cold and ruthless, like an icy blade piercing the heart of every marine.

The marines instantly descended into chaos.

Everyone wore an expression of disbelief. They couldn't accept the fact that someone who had made countless contributions to the Navy and bore the mission of justice was being sentenced to death for a fabricated crime.

This was simply an insult to the spirit of the Navy, a betrayal of all those who fought for justice.

"Is this true?" Kong's heart churned with anger and pain, and he felt his chest almost bursting.

He, who had once been loyal to his duty and guarded justice, was now witnessing his younger generation, the backbone of the Navy, being treated so unfairly.

His fist trembled slightly with anger, but he did not back down.

The surrounding marines were also stunned, as if they doubted their ears.

However, when they saw the God's Knights guard surrounding them, everyone realized that it was true.

The black-armored guards had cold eyes and no hesitation. Their swords shone with a ghastly light in the sun, as if they were already bloodthirsty and ready to strike.

Topman Warcury glanced at Kong contemptuously, his tone icy, "Kong, step aside, or don't blame us for being merciless."

Kong's eyes were full of anger, he stared intently at the Five Elders, his voice low and filled with irrepressible anger, "I will not back down. Jin is the pride of the Navy, our hope for the future! You beasts in human clothing, what right do you have to decide his fate?"

His strong body still stood in front of Jin, like a mountain, unmoving.

The guards' swords were already drawn, cold light flashing, but Kong's posture did not waver in the slightest.

He knew the strength of these guards, but even in the face of death, he would never give in.

He could not abandon Jin, could not abandon the Navy.

However, at this moment, Jin slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Kong.

He still had a faint smile on his face, as if he was not at all moved by the predicament before him.

To him, this was just another test.

"Marshal Kong, there's no need," Jin's voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.

He looked at Kong, his eyes showing a trace of gratitude, but more of resolution, "I'll take care of everything myself."

"Jin…" Kong was stunned, he could feel the calmness and determination in Jin.

This young junior carried countless responsibilities and pressures on his shoulders, but even so, he still chose to bear it alone.

"The Navy still needs you," Jin said softly, his tone gentle, but with an irresistible force.

His eyes were firm, as if he had already seen through the end of this struggle.

"This time, I'll do it."

The Five Elders watched this scene with cold eyes, their eyes full of disdain and indifference, as if Jin's fate had already been decided in their hands.

Marcus Mars sneered, "One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither. Jin, do you really think you can shake us with your own strength?"

Jin remained unmoved, he still maintained a calm expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth becoming more and more icy.

He looked up at the Five Elders, his eyes without a trace of fear, but instead revealing a deep sarcasm, "With my own strength? You have long since not understood what power is."

The air suddenly froze, Jin's aura suddenly soared, and an extremely strong Conqueror's Haki instantly spread, sweeping the entire field like a giant wave.

The surrounding air seemed to tremble because of his domineering aura, the faces of the guards in the front row instantly turned pale, the long swords in their hands began to tremble, and their bodies were forced to retreat.

"This is what you should really worry about," Jin said coldly, his gaze passing through the guards and directly towards the Five Elders.

The Five Elders' faces changed slightly, obviously, they did not expect Jin's power to have become so strong.

The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence, the marines were shocked by the domineering aura released by Jin, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

Maybe, Jin can really break this situation?

"If this is the game you set up, then let me break it," Jin's voice was low but firm, like a war god's declaration, echoing throughout the battlefield.

He stepped forward step by step, facing the enemy's sharpness.

The Five Elders' faces grew more and more gloomy, they exchanged glances with each other, and finally revealed a resolute murderous intent.

"Attack!"
