Jin walked out of the ship's cabin.
Those World Government personnel responsible for monitoring him quickly retracted their gazes upon seeing this, pretending to be busy, striking up conversations with those around them in an attempt to reduce their presence in Jin's eyes.
However, Jin paid no attention to these people's small actions. He walked straight to them and asked in a calm voice:
"How much longer until we reach G5 Branch?"
The person questioned hesitated slightly, but still said in a low voice:
"One more day's journey."
Jin frowned, his eyes like lightning:
"Is this the World Government's attitude when facing pirates?"
"In the eyes of the Five Elders, the Navy is too strong, whether I'm here or not doesn't matter, so you're planning to send me only after the war is over?"
The World Government personnel were immediately speechless, stammering.
They knew very well that the Five Elders' order was for them to send Jin to the battlefield as soon as possible.
But the reason they were moving so slowly now was entirely intentional, wanting more of the G5 Branch's marines to die.
The G5 Branch's marines had always been disliked by these people, so they were naturally happy to play tricks with this mission of escorting Jin.
"We're already going as fast as we can."
The person said, stiffening his neck and putting on a brave face.
Jin glanced at him coldly, as if seeing through everything.
After a moment of silence, he snorted coldly:
"Good! Since that's what you say, then I'll use my own way to speed things up!"
Ignoring these people, Jin turned and walked to the center of the deck, raising his hands. Flame clouds, under his control, quickly spread out, like a giant fire dragon, enveloping the entire warship.
The people on the ship showed expressions of horror, but Jin remained unmoved, focusing on controlling the flame clouds.
"Since these World Government people are trying to trip me up, then I'll use my own methods to act." Jin sneered inwardly, his eyes revealing determination.
Under his control, the flame clouds carried the warship into the air, speeding towards the G5 Branch.
The people on the ship panicked, but under Jin's powerful aura, no one dared to make a sound.
The wind howled, and shadows of clouds flashed across the sky. Driven by the flame clouds, the warship's speed was several times faster than before.
As the ship flew quickly, Jin's mood calmed down a bit, but he knew that once a war broke out, it could not be undone.
The situation at the G5 Branch was not optimistic, and he had to get there as quickly as possible to help those comrades who were still fighting.
"Hold on, I'm coming."
Jin said silently to himself, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this battle was not only about the fate of the G5 Branch, but also about the honor and future of the entire Navy.
He would never let down those warriors who trusted him and depended on him.
The warship, enveloped in flame clouds, streaked across the sky, heading towards the G5 Branch.
......
Inside the Navy Headquarters' office, the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, the three elders, were gathered together, their faces solemn.
The sunlight outside the window shone obliquely through the gaps in the curtains, but it could not dispel the gloom in the room.
"The situation at the G5 Branch is not optimistic…"
Tsuru's voice was low and heavy, each word seeming to weigh on the heart, carrying endless worry.
Garp was furious, slamming his fist on the table, instantly turning the entire table into shattered pieces that scattered.
Wood chips flew everywhere, like fragments of anger, reflecting his anxiety and rage.
"The Five Elders still haven't agreed to my request to join the battle!" His voice was filled with suppressed anger, his brow furrowed, and his eyes burned with fury.
Sengoku's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed deeply, "Jin should still be on his way back to the G5 Branch."
His tone was full of helplessness and self-blame.
He had previously arranged for Jin and Borsalino to carry out a mission, originally to allow Jin to have more contact with Vegapunk, paving the way for Jin's future development.
However, he had not anticipated that the pirates would suddenly launch an attack, and there was definitely the shadow of the World Government pushing things along behind the scenes.
Scenes flashed through Sengoku's mind: Jin's firm gaze, his countless meritorious deeds, and his unyielding belief.
Sengoku knew that Jin must be desperately rushing back to the G5 Branch at this moment, bearing a huge responsibility and pressure.
"We should have realized the pirates' movements earlier, there must be something wrong with this."
Tsuru's voice was still calm, but her eyes revealed a trace of anger and unwillingness.
She was the Navy's strategist and had long since noticed the conspiracy behind this sudden attack.
"Jin will come back, he will lead the G5 Branch through this disaster."
Garp's fist clenched, his belief unwavering.
Sengoku nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes,
"Yes, Jin will not let us down. He is the future of the Navy, our greatest hope."
Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru exchanged firm glances, silently praying in their hearts that Jin could arrive in time, save the G5 Branch, and protect the honor of the Navy.
In the office, the three elders looked at each other silently, their dissatisfaction with the World Government becoming clearer.
......
In the ship's cabin, Bon Clay felt a slight bump. With the vibration, his heart also trembled.
He leaned against the wall of the cabin, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the unease in his heart.
Suddenly, he noticed that the warship's speed had undergone a qualitative improvement. The entire ship seemed to be pushed forward by an invisible force, moving at an astonishing speed.
Jin pushed open the cabin door and walked in, his steady steps carrying a reassuring force.
He looked at Bon Clay with a firm gaze, his voice low and containing a hint of apology,
"I can't send you to Alabasta for the time being. I'll safely send you back after the war is over."
Bon Clay looked up at Jin, his eyes flashing with a firm light. He shook his head,
"I'm here to participate in this war. The boss and the others should be arriving soon too."
"I'll fight alongside them then."
His voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable determination.
Jin frowned slightly, a trace of surprise in his eyes, but more of appreciation.
He knew Bon Clay's courage and determination were not comparable to ordinary people.
He nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of approval.
Jin smiled slightly and patted Bon Clay on the shoulder,
"Then let's fight together, let's win together."
His voice was low and powerful, carrying an invisible force that made Bon Clay feel boundless confidence and courage.
Outside the cabin, the wind howled, and the sea of clouds beat against the ship, as if playing a battle song for the upcoming battle.
"It's almost here..."
"Kuzan, Toki... everyone. Even without me, the G5 Branch is enough to hold off any enemy!"
Jin believed in their strength.
