#722 - Chapter 522 The Unknown Ahead
This assassination attempt was undoubtedly a profound warning to the New Navy.
Although they were accustomed to confronting the World Government, they never imagined that the enemy would be so cruel and covert.
This night's raid sent a shock through every member of the New Navy.
They felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, as if every corner harbored murderous intent, as if every step was approaching death.
The atmosphere within the base was exceptionally heavy after the battle.
Although the injured generals had received emergency treatment, an undisguised rage could still be seen in their eyes.
Although those assassins who successfully escaped had evaded disaster, the New Navy was not defeated.
On the contrary, everyone's morale became more cohesive. They not only wanted revenge but also to completely defeat the World Government in the upcoming war.
Jin An stood on the high platform of the base, overlooking the training ground below.
The night wind gently blew, bringing a burst of coolness.
However, Jin An knew that the current situation was far more complex than they imagined.
Although they had already formulated a plan to take the initiative, even preparing strikes against key World Government bases, they had now suffered such a heavy blow—
The enemy had struck them in this way, forcing them to re-examine the situation.
A complex emotion surged in Jin An's heart:
Anger, annoyance, and even some unease.
Clearly, their plan was almost complete, but at the most critical moment, it was disrupted by such a silent assassination.
"We underestimated the enemy."
Jin An took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
He turned, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the surrounding team members. Seeing the fighting spirit and anger burning in everyone's eyes, his heart calmed down slightly.
Although everything was not as smooth as they had expected, no one had flinched. Instead, they had become even more determined.
"We will not succumb to this."
He thought silently, the coldness in his eyes growing stronger.
As the leader of the New Navy, he knew he couldn't let his comrades down, couldn't let the sacrifices of these fallen brothers be in vain.
His thoughts were interrupted by Garp's voice:
"Jin An, the enemy wants to use this opportunity to completely destroy us, to give us a heavy blow and teach us a lesson."
Garp stood behind him with his arms crossed, his voice low and powerful.
"But they are wrong. We are not so easily defeated.
Even if they make another move, we will not back down."
Jin An nodded, turned, and walked towards the training ground.
The events of this night made him deeply feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.
Everyone was no longer a simple soldier but was caught in an endless battle. Their goal was not only to protect themselves but to pursue greater victory, for the unwavering belief in their hearts.
"We cannot let these dead comrades sacrifice in vain."
Jin An secretly resolved in his heart. He knew that this war had only just begun, that the enemy would definitely strike again, but they would also meet the challenge without fear.
Now, they were no longer simply rebels but stood on the high ground of future destiny, carrying a force that could destroy everything, ready to release all the unyielding souls.
On the base's training ground, Jin An strode lightly towards the training area that had been waiting for him for a long time.
The atmosphere was still tense, but no longer that uneasy dullness. Instead, it was the aura of warriors sharpening their edges, everyone focused on preparing for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, everyone understood:
They were forced into a more complex and cruel situation.
The enemy's assassination was just the beginning, and their revenge would be even more fierce.
Jin An looked at the team members in front of him, and an invisible force rose in his heart—they would not yield, and they would not be defeated.
Jin An took a deep breath, his gaze firm.
"Are you ready?
We will give the enemy a real revenge."
......
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Inside the New Navy base, the soldiers were already fully armed and ready to go.
The atmosphere throughout the base was unusually tense and solemn. Yesterday's assassination was like a heavy hammer, pounding on everyone's hearts.
Although the pain had not completely healed, a more determined light shone in everyone's eyes.
"Today, we will make the enemy understand that challenging us will ultimately pay the price."
Jin An stood on the command platform, gazing at the neatly arranged ranks in the distance.
His voice was steady and powerful, with a sense of oppression, as if it were a force from the abyss, slowly spreading in the air.
His eyes swept over the rows of neatly dressed soldiers in front of him, each with a resolute expression and bright eyes.
Sengoku, Garp, and others stood aside. Although their injuries had not fully recovered, the aura emanating from them was still as steady as a mountain.
Garp's face had lingering anger, and it seemed that what flowed from his body was not just blood, but more endless fighting spirit and determination.
"Go!"
At Jin An's command, a neat sound of footsteps immediately rang out.
The Navy and New Navy troops marched together, the mighty force like a tiger descending the mountain, rushing towards their destination with a majestic aura.
The wind howled past them, as if this momentum was also surging in the wind.
Jin An stood at the front of the team, his steps firm, each step steady and powerful, the coldness and determination in his eyes making people dare not underestimate him.
He knew that this was not just a simple battle, but a war to avenge all the fallen comrades.
And at this moment, everyone's steps represented their unyielding will and belief in future victory.
Behind him, Sengoku and Garp walked on the flanks of the team. Although their expressions were no longer young, the confidence brought by their combat experience was still strong.
Sengoku's brow was slightly furrowed, as if calculating the upcoming layout and battle in his mind.
Garp's hands were clenched into fists, the veins on his fists bulging, obviously waiting for the moment to compete with the enemy.
In this base, all the New Navy soldiers did not have much to say, and everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.
Yesterday's attack made them more vigilant and made them understand even more that the enemy ahead was not easy to fight.
Even if they still felt angry in their hearts, at this moment they knew better how to face it calmly and how to use practical actions to avenge.
Walking out of the base, the size of the team became even larger.
Looking from a distance, the entire team was like a torrent covering the sky and the earth, with a fierce momentum.
The soldiers in the team were all wearing the New Navy uniforms, and the blue of the uniforms shone brightly in the morning sun, like the waves of the ocean, one wave after another, constantly spreading out.
Their goal was clear—this attack was not only to restore past glory but also to take revenge.
The unspeakable anger burned in everyone's heart, and some people had even deeply engraved the faces of yesterday's dead comrades in their minds.
Jin An turned to look at the team, knowing that there was a fire in everyone's heart, and this fire would eventually turn into a sword of revenge against the World Government.
"When the time comes, we will no longer be passively defending, but actively attacking."
Jin An muttered to himself, his eyes becoming more and more firm.
Not far away, a huge warship was already ready.
On the deck of the warship, the crew members were nervously preparing everything.
The huge figure of the warship gradually appeared as the team advanced, like a giant beast, quietly waiting for its prey.
The warship's muzzle shone brightly in the sun, giving people a sense of oppression, as if it was also announcing the upcoming bloody battle.
With Jin An's order, the warship slowly sailed away from the shore, heading towards the distance in the morning light.
The sea breeze blew, stirring up ripples of waves, and the warship's mast drew resolute arcs in the air.
The soldiers on the warship were ready to embark on this unknown journey with them.
And the sky in the distance was quietly changing.
The clouds gradually dispersed under the sunlight, revealing a patch of azure blue.
It seemed that the sky was also preparing for the upcoming battle, announcing endless devastation.
As the warship gradually moved away, Jin An's figure gradually blurred between the sea and the sky, but the firm determination and calm aura still permeated the entire sea, turning into a chilling force, constantly moving forward towards the unknown.
At this time, all the members of the New Navy understood:
They must not only win this battle, but also retaliate against those enemies hiding in the dark corners in the most powerful posture.
