A figure streaked through the night sky like a shooting star, its speed so great that the naked eye could barely catch its trajectory.
Jin An was covered in wounds, fresh blood constantly gushing from them, scattering across every inch of land he passed, like a scarlet lifeline.
However, even at such astonishing speed, Jin An's movements still seemed somewhat unsteady, each step marked with traces of pain.
"Damn you, Imu…"
He gritted his teeth, his face contorted in pain.
Although Imu had returned to Mary Geoise, the injuries she inflicted lingered on his body like venomous snakes, the agonizing pain making each breath a struggle.
The pursuers behind him grew in number, the auras of the Five Elders and the God's Knights following like shadows, as if glued to Jin An's back.
Although their speed was slightly inferior to Jin An's, given his injuries, he had to shake them off as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would eventually run out of strength.
"I can't stop…"
Jin An understood in his heart that once he stopped, he would face endless torment and death.
He forced himself to concentrate, his legs moving desperately, his almost numb body still operating at high speed.
His eyes were firm, and although his body was on the verge of collapse, he absolutely could not fall here.
The wind howled past his ears, and Jin An could clearly perceive the sound of leaves being crushed behind him.
The footsteps of the Five Elders and the God's Knights grew more urgent, like cheetahs chasing wounded prey.
"You can't escape, you filthy scum!"
The voice of Jaygarcia Saturn echoed from behind, filled with unquestionable murderous intent.
Jin An glanced back, the figures of the Five Elders and the God's Knights appearing particularly menacing in the night, their eyes flashing with cold light, each face filled with anger.
Jin An endured the intense pain in his body, gritted his teeth, and continued to run wildly forward.
He knew that he had to find a safe place to heal his injuries, otherwise he would be unable to face the upcoming battle.
His mind raced, searching for a way to escape.
Suddenly, a dense forest appeared ahead, and a glimmer of hope flashed in Jin An's eyes.
He quickly adjusted his direction and rushed into the forest.
The cover of the trees might buy him some time, allowing him to temporarily shake off the pursuers behind him.
After entering the forest, Jin An lowered his body as much as possible, quickly moving between the trees.
His movements were still agile, but the wounds on his body constantly reminded him that time was running out.
The sound of pursuers approaching gradually reached his ears. The Five Elders and the God's Knights were not hindered by this forest, and their speed did not slow down at all.
"Almost there, just hold on…"
Jin An muttered to himself, forcing himself not to give up.
The footsteps behind him were like maggots on a bone, and Jin An knew that time was running out.
He tried to use the power of the Door-Door Fruit, but the pursuers behind him and the serious injuries made it impossible for him to concentrate.
Each attempt ended in failure, which made him extremely anxious.
The Door-Door Fruit was his greatest reliance, but now he couldn't use it, and the situation became extremely critical.
Jin An forced himself to calm down and quickly looked around.
He had reached the area of the Sabaody Archipelago.
This was a place he had frequented many times, and he knew the terrain here like the back of his hand.
"Sabaody Archipelago… here, I might be able to find a way to escape the pursuit," he muttered to himself.
As night deepened, the forests of the Sabaody Archipelago appeared particularly quiet under the moonlight.
Jin An's figure flickered between the shadows of the trees, as elusive as a ghost.
Jaygarcia Saturn's anger was like an erupting volcano, and he slammed his fist heavily into the tree trunk next to him.
The tree trunk cracked in response, and bark splattered everywhere.
The enormous force shook the surrounding air, producing a dull roar.
"He actually escaped here!"
Saturn was furious, his eyes like burning flames, filled with violent murderous intent.
The other Five Elders and members of the God's Knights stood behind him, their expressions equally gloomy and angry.
The complex terrain of the Sabaody Archipelago made their pursuit more difficult, but they absolutely could not allow Jin An to escape.
This threat must be completely eliminated.
"Continue the pursuit, he's injured and will fall into our hands sooner or later."
Saturn said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.
The Five Elders and the God's Knights began to release their auras, their Haki like an invisible pressure, spreading to the surroundings.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to be shrouded in a layer of invisible pressure, the trees trembling slightly, and the air becoming heavy.
On the streets, residents who were chatting suddenly stopped and looked at each other.
Their eyes were filled with horror, as if an invisible hand was grabbing their throats, making even breathing difficult.
In the market, vendors put down their goods and looked around, their eyes full of fear.
A woman who was picking fruit accidentally knocked over the basket, the fruit rolling all over the ground, but she didn't have time to care, just tightly hugging her child, trembling, as if that would give her a sense of security.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to fall into a silent panic.
Pirates and residents alike felt the invisible pressure, and everyone's heart was filled with deep fear.
They didn't know what would happen next, but they knew that the owner of this pressure was definitely not someone they could resist.
The pirates on the island felt this powerful aura and stopped what they were doing.
Their bodies trembled involuntarily, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
The intense pressure made them feel suffocated, and their hearts were filled with fear.
"Who is it…"
"I was overwhelmed by this aura before I could even see a person, which big shot has arrived?"
"It… it seems like multiple people are releasing Conqueror's Haki together…"
"…"
The pirates panicked, with the strength of this power, they couldn't afford to offend them.
The pirates' noise gradually disappeared, and the entire island became unusually quiet.
The air was filled with tension and fear, and everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the upcoming storm.
The Five Elders and the God's Knights ignored these intimidated pirates, their only target was Jin An.
Their footsteps did not stop at all, quickly passing through the forest, continuing to track along the bloodstains and traces left by Jin An.
Saturn's anger did not diminish in the slightest, his fist clenched tightly, and his knuckles cracked.
He could not tolerate the escape of an existence that was like an ant in their eyes, now under their noses.
This shame must be washed away, and Jin An must pay the price for it.
The pirates of the Sabaody Archipelago felt this powerful pressure and retreated, not daring to interfere in the slightest.
As time passed, the Five Elders and the God's Knights gradually approached Jin An.
They could feel the familiar aura getting closer and closer, and Jin An's figure seemed to be not far ahead.
"Almost there, he's just ahead!"
Saturn said in a low voice, his voice filled with cold murderous intent.
