#497 - Chapter 497: Disdain for Yimu

On a small island in the South Sea, waves crashed against the reefs along the shore, carrying a sense of heavy oppression.

Jin stood in the sparse shade of the trees, his gaze fixed on the two giants before him—Dorry and Brogy.

Their chests heaved violently, their faces flushed with crimson rage, like two wild beasts about to go berserk, barely able to contain the fury within them.

Dorry's bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at the ground as he roared through gritted teeth, "Those cowardly bastards! To dare torment our compatriots in our homeland, I will never forgive them!"

His powerful fist slammed heavily into the ground, sending dirt and gravel flying, as if he wanted to tear the very land apart.

Brogy, standing beside him, was no less enraged, his breathing as heavy as a dragon's fire, his muscles tense as if he were about to charge at anyone who stood in his way: "Jin, don't stop us! Let us go back and tear those beasts to pieces!"

His voice was loud and trembling, his vengeful obsession evident in his clenched teeth.

Jin's gaze was calm and steady as he quietly observed the two men consumed by anger, contemplating the situation at hand.

He knew that the rage of these two Elbaf warriors was like scorching lava, and if left unchecked, it would incinerate everything.

However, he also knew that with their current strength alone, they could not shake the iron fortress that was the World Government.

"I understand your anger," Jin spoke slowly, his voice calm and with a hint of reassurance, "but now is not the time for reckless action. Impulsiveness will not bring victory."

He walked forward step by step, each word like cold water poured on boiling magma, "What we want is not a fleeting revenge, but a complete counterattack, to make them pay for what they have done. Only then will we be worthy of the honor of Elbaf warriors."

Dorry and Brogy's eyes flickered slightly, their fists still clenched, but their brows furrowed as if they were chewing over Jin's words.

Their anger had not subsided, but that savage impulse was gradually suppressed by Jin's words.

They stared intently at the calm man before them, the flames in their hearts temporarily subdued, a hint of agreement and doubt kindling in their eyes.

Jin smiled slightly and looked up at the two giants: "Before that, we must make the World Government understand that every crime they commit will not go unanswered."

He slowly turned around, leaving behind a low but firm declaration, "When the time is right, together, we will shake the entire world."

......

As night fell, Jin stood on the cliff of the South Sea island, the sea breeze whipping his cloak, bringing a chill.

His gaze was deep as he looked towards the distant north, in the direction of Elbaf.

He lowered his head and stared at the metal device given to him by Vegapunk, his fingertips gently tracing its cold surface.

This small but complex device concealed a powerful force, and this force would become a key bargaining chip against the World Government.

What Vegapunk gave was not just hope, but the core upon which Jin relied for the entire plan.

During their secret meeting, Vegapunk's eyes held some hints, and the "key data" he mentioned was about the World Government's new weapon development, and the information also made Jin realize the seriousness of the matter.

He could no longer ignore the situation in Elbaf.

If the Giant Kingdom were to completely fall, the World Government's strength would expand unprecedentedly, and they could create more Pacifistas at will, and these cold and ruthless mechanical armies would be enough to make any resistance force flinch.

Drawing his thoughts back, Jin took a deep breath, his gaze gradually becoming firm.

He turned to his subordinate, who was waiting aside, and said in a low voice: "Prepare the fleet immediately, destination Elbaf, without any delay."

The subordinate obeyed and left, and Jin silently looked at the sea again.

Vegapunk's slightly veiled words echoed in his ears: "Jin, you must understand that this is not a simple war, but an experiment on humanity and power. In the end, only the strongest will stand on this earth."

Jin frowned slightly, a sneer rising in his heart.

Indeed, the World Government had no pity for these giants, treating them as experimental materials for a cruel evolutionary trial.

However, Jin understood that this was by no means a simple battle for the survival of the fittest, but a declaration of the rulers' absolute control over the world.

Thinking of the giants in Elbaf who were suffering from the experiments, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Going to Elbaf was not just to break the World Government's cage, but also for a promise, to prevent the Giant Kingdom from becoming a desolate ruin.

He knew that this trip was fraught with risks, but he had already resolved to be fearless.

"World Government, your good days are slowly dwindling," he murmured, his eyes surging with unshakeable determination and anger, "This sea will eventually devour your sins."

Jin stood quietly on the island shrouded in the night, his expression appearing unfathomable in the faint moonlight.

His gaze was as cold as ice, as if returning to the scene when he infiltrated Pangaea Castle, and unsettling images floated in his mind: the secret passages beneath Pangaea Castle, the dim rooms, the ancient stone tablets on the walls engraved with unknown symbols, and the bizarrely detailed experimental equipment placed on the tables—all revealing an aura of darkness and conspiracy.

At that moment, Jin finally realized that Imu and the World Government were carrying out an incredibly vast plan, and the cost of this plan was likely to be the entire world.

At this moment, a heavy footstep came from the shadows, carrying a familiar and oppressive aura.

A huge figure slowly appeared, Kaido slowly walked out of the darkness, his eyes locked on Jin, his eyes faintly revealing a trace of dissatisfaction and some restrained anger.

"Failed to force out Imu," Kaido sneered in a low voice, his eyes piercing the night sky like sharp blades, "Even though we fought at his doorstep, that Imu you mentioned is really holding back."

He gritted his teeth, his huge body shrouded in the moonlight, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, suppressing his full of anger.

Jin looked at Kaido, gently hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold smile, and slowly said: "That's not beyond my expectation. Imu is not someone who will easily show up."

His voice was calm, but with a hint of coldness, as if explaining a simple fact.

After a pause, he continued: "From the moment he chose to hide for hundreds of years, he was destined not to show up for any provocation. Unless it is a critical moment, he would rather completely hide himself."

Kaido snorted disdainfully, his fist slowly clenched, with a hint of suppressed irritability: "Critical moment? Are you saying he is doing something extremely important now? Hmph, even putting his life aside?"

He sneered, seemingly scoffing at this kind of composure, but he could not deny that he was a little afraid of Imu's calmness.

Jin did not answer, his eyes lowered slightly, as if lost in thought.
