#57 - Chapter 57 Sea King Attack
The huge warship sped across the sea at an exaggerated speed, propelled by the sea breeze.
"2000...2000 push-ups, I... I finished them..." A childish voice reported weakly, filled with deep exhaustion.
Kuzan nodded. As expected of the boy he had his eye on, he finished a bit earlier than he expected.
"Not bad. Next, let's move on to the next training exercise together."
Doflamingo supported himself with trembling hands, flipping his body over to face the sky, and said bitterly:
"Can I refuse?"
He felt that his hands were no longer under his control, and continuing to train would kill him...
"Dofla, you need to believe in yourself. It's just 2000 push-ups. This is nothing. I believe you can complete the next training mission," Kuzan encouraged.
He was also training with Doflamingo, and he even increased the training volume several times more than Doflamingo. This didn't even count as a warm-up for him.
"Good luck, Dofla, I'm rooting for you..." Jin An chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.
The more pain this kid felt now, the happier he was. He was a professional at watching people suffer.
Doflamingo didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, so he simply ignored Jin An's words and breathed in large gulps of air.
"Next is climbing the mast. I look forward to your next performance," Jin An said mercilessly, looking at the 40-meter-high mast, describing Doflamingo's next training project.
"Ah?"
Doflamingo exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the mast in the distance that seemed to connect with the sky:
"It looks like I'm going to die here today..."
"......"
However, at that moment, an accident happened...
"Roar......"
A huge roar resounded, like a cry from the depths of hell, shocking everyone on the warship.
The marines looked at each other, expressions of horror appearing on their faces.
At that moment, the sea seemed to transform into a giant beast, lurking with unimaginable threats.
The oppressive feeling of the roar was like an invisible mountain, directly pressing down on everyone's hearts, making them feel unable to breathe.
"What's going on? Is a Sea King passing by?"
The warship was sailing too close to the Calm Belt, and they were aware that there was a certain probability of encountering Sea Kings inhabiting this area.
"Check the direction of that big guy making the noise!" the navigator commanded.
Upon hearing this, the scout immediately picked up his binoculars and tried to see where the sound was coming from, but only saw a turbulent sea and a vast expanse of water, with no signs of anything unusual.
However, the existence of the monster had already filled everyone's hearts with fear without words, after all, the unknown is the most terrifying.
A young marine pointed into the distance with a trembling finger, and said stammeringly, "There's... there's something... under the ship!"
His voice trembled, and his psychological defenses seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment.
The navigator's expression was solemn. He took a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm voice: "Prepare to avoid this area! Everyone, immediately enter battle stations!"
The marines acted according to orders, their movements hurried, but they revealed a sense of order.
The ship's weapons were quickly checked, and defensive measures were urgently deployed. Everyone was doing their best to prepare for the possible danger.
At that moment, a tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the warship. Everyone's heart was tightly strung, ready to respond to the unknown threats that might emerge from the depths of the ocean.
"Don't panic, turn the ship around and head in the other direction," Jin An's calm voice reassured everyone on the warship.
His composure gave all the marines a sense of security, and they handled their responsibilities in an orderly manner.
The ship urgently changed direction, trying to quickly leave this dangerous area.
However, the sea seemed to have been aroused by the monster's presence, and the waves began to roll, surging and obstructing the ship's navigation.
"So what if it's a Sea King? It's just a stinky fish making waves under the sea. If it catches up, Colonel Jin An can easily subdue it!" the marines shouted loudly, using words to dispel the fear in their hearts.
The ship's body swayed violently with the undulation of the waves. The crew members struggled to stand firm, doing their best to maintain the ship's stability.
"Bang!!!"
The waves were like a huge wall, rushing towards the ship's body again and again. The splashing seawater hit the ship's side like sharp blades, making ear-piercing collision sounds.
The ship struggled to traverse this turbulent sea. The speed of advance was slowed and difficult due to the obstruction of the waves. The bow was occasionally submerged by towering waves, and the splashing water made navigation even more difficult. The stern was pushed violently by the waves, as if to throw everyone on the ship into the sea.
As the warship shook violently, a dark shadow, whose outline could not be clearly seen at a glance, cut through the sea and soared into the sky.
"Splash!!!"
The Sea King slammed into the sea, stirring up waves hundreds of meters high, and seawater poured down from the sky like a torrential rain.
"Hold on! Hold on!!!"
The marines roared one after another, looking at the giant waves in front of them, deeply feeling the insignificance of mankind.
"This is already bigger than an ordinary island..." Doflamingo opened his mouth wide. "I knew it, every time I go out with this damn Jin An, nothing good ever happens!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a big guy."
Just when everyone was about to give up, a calm voice that made people feel at ease suddenly sounded.
Hearing this voice, the marines' chaotic hearts calmed down, and then they involuntarily looked at the owner of the voice.
They saw Jin An holding his Yanling Saber, standing at the bow of the ship, examining the huge Sea King in front of him with great interest.
The marines silently stared at the protagonist, and a sense of pride welled up in their hearts. They firmly believed that as long as Jin An was there, they could overcome any difficulties and obstacles, and even defeat the behemoth in front of them.
"I know you have intelligence no less than that of humans," Jin An said slowly, "Leave now, and I can let bygones be bygones."
The Sea King looked down at the tiny human in front of him with disdain. He had brought despair to countless people over the years wandering in the Calm Belt, and this was the first time he had seen someone who wasn't afraid of death.
"It seems you don't appreciate it," Jin An shook his head regretfully. Such a big head, but he didn't expect the IQ to be so low.
"Killing this big guy shouldn't have any bad effects, right?" Jin An asked, looking at the crowd behind him.
Jin An's words stunned everyone. In their eyes, the monster that they couldn't defeat was like a lamb to be slaughtered in the Colonel's mouth.
"Colonel Jin An, please take action. Our strength cannot shake this Sea King in front of us."
Kuzan was one of the only two people present who were not afraid of the Sea King, but with his current strength, he was still completely unable to resolve the crisis in front of him.
However, just as he finished speaking, Kuzan only felt a blur in front of his eyes. When he reacted, Jin An's figure was long gone...
"Colonel Jin An!"
Jin An's actions startled Kuzan. He knew that Jin An was a Devil Fruit ability user, and this was the sea. If he accidentally fell into the sea, wouldn't it be all over...?
