Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Meanwhile, Yann turned to face the Pluto's colossal warship, which resembled a mountain range, as it approached alone.

"boom!"

The cherry blossom dragon that had been continuously blocking the dark light was almost instantly smashed into countless cherry blossoms falling to the ground by the impact of the Hades warship.

Witnessing this scene, Yann's expression remained unchanged. He gently adjusted his glasses and murmured silently.

"I told you, I would make you regret your choice, Crocodile..."

[Chapter 346 My Style: The Wind of Pira]

At this moment, Crocodile was also in a state of anger.

Crocodile originally envisioned that even if Princess Vivi couldn't force King Cobra to voluntarily relinquish control of the Pluton, her death would thoroughly shock him and push him to the brink of mental collapse.

In this way, King Cobra, having seized control of the Pluton, would definitely be no match for Crocodile.

However, to Crocodile's surprise, a guy who could easily block hundreds of beams of dark light suddenly appeared.

Crocodile maneuvered the Pluton behemoth into the air like a mountain, smashing through the sea of ​​cherry blossoms that resembled a giant cherry blossom dragon continuously blocking the dark light, and headed straight for Yann.

As they drew closer, Crocodile finally saw who the man standing calmly on the ground was, facing the Ancient Weapon Hades.

"Sakura Dragon, you dare to ruin my plans!"

Crocodile naturally recognized Major General Tefimo Yann, nicknamed "Sakura Dragon".

Or rather, anyone who truly understands the ins and outs of the "Dressrosa Kingdom Incident" would know this guy.

This man was the key catalyst that ignited the conflict between Kaido of the Beasts and the Hueco Mundo organization.

The world was thrown into chaos because of this man; the terror of Hueco Mundo was also fully exposed to the world because of this man.

Upon seeing this man, Crocodile couldn't help but think of that terrifying sun that seemed to evaporate the sea.

The fear that began to fester in his heart plunged Crocodile into a different kind of rage.

The next moment, under Crocodile's control, more than two hundred turrets simultaneously emitted jet-black beams of light and surged toward Yone, as if to blast Yone to pieces and annihilate Princess Vivi, who was fleeing behind Yone.

However, as Yaen raised his hand, countless cherry blossoms shot into the sky centered on Yaen, completely dyeing the earth on one side pink.

Senbonzakura was the first Zanpakuto that Aon was able to use for Bankai. With years of familiarity and training, Aon's control over it has long surpassed what it used to be.

With the same Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, countless cherry blossoms rose up as Aon raised his hand.

"Go!"

In an instant, it was as if a vast, boundless sea of ​​cherry blossoms was rushing toward the ancient weapon, Hades, with overwhelming force.

"boom!"

From a distance, it looked as if mountains and giant waves were crashing together on the land of the Alabasta Kingdom, the violent roar of which could be clearly heard for miles around.

"That is……"

Behind the Pluto behemoth, Rear Admiral Gion and the other marines, along with the CP9 team, stared at the overwhelming cherry blossoms in the distance, momentarily stunned before realizing what was happening.

"It's Rear Admiral Sakura Ryu's ability!"

"How terrifying! The speed of the Hades behemoth seems to have slowed down!"

"But why is Rear Admiral Sakura Dragon here? Wasn't it rumored that Rear Admiral Sakura Dragon was captured by the Empress and imprisoned on Amazon Lily, where he was forced into marriage?"

"Yes, I even saw someone selling a picture book about what might happen between Rear Admiral Sakura Dragon and the Pirate Empress..."

Before the naval officer could finish speaking, Rear Admiral Gion shouted in a stern tone.

"Shut up! No talking about your superior!"

"Yes, Major General Gion."

Immediately, Major General Gion's speed suddenly increased, and he broke away from the main force, quickly heading towards the place where cherry blossoms were fluttering.

"Ya'en, did you escape from Amazon Lily? And you even managed to escape all the way here?"

A glimmer of hope flickered in Gion's eyes, and her hand gripping the hilt of the "Kinpira" sword tightened unconsciously.

"This time, I will definitely hold you tight and will never let myself sink into that despair and regret again!!!"

Not only Major General Gion, but also another figure in the CP9 team suddenly accelerated, leaving all his colleagues behind, and headed straight for Yann.

"Lucci, what are you trying to do? Why did you leave the group?"

As for Foz-Foe, the leader of the CP9 organization this time, he couldn't help but shout angrily at Lucci.

In response, Lucci glanced back at his colleagues, but his actions were without the slightest hesitation. In fact, his figure seemed to expand by a third, transforming into a half-human, half-leopard form that possessed a murderous beauty, and his speed increased once again.

Lucci had long since had enough of these weak and incompetent colleagues.

Lucci has only stayed with the group because completing the mission might require the sacrifice of these guys.

"I... that's right. I didn't want to see Lord Arn. I just realized that only by cooperating with Lord Arn could we possibly complete the mission of stopping the Ancient Weapon, Hades."

"Everything is for the mission!"

Lu Qi murmured, his body, which had initially acted only subconsciously, no longer hesitated in the slightest.

……

However, just as Gion and Lucci broke away from the main group and rushed towards the Ancient Weapon Hades, Gion glanced to the side unintentionally and stopped in her tracks.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented anger appeared on Gion's face.

"Boa Hancock! You woman, how dare you be here..."

Almost instantly, Gion turned and suddenly shot towards Hancock on the other side, while the "famous sword Kinpira" at her waist was instantly drawn.

"My style, the wind of Pira!"

The next moment, an almost massive number of flying slashes rushed towards Hancock like a storm.

These flying slashes, whether in terms of speed or power, were completely incomparable to the level that Gion had previously displayed.

Each flying slash was like a renowned sword that could cut through everything in its path, shattering everything in its wake.

"Ok?"

Hancock paused, turning to look at the surging barrage of flying slashes.

Immediately, Hancock touched her lips, conjuring a pink heart-shaped substance in front of her. With a casual pull, a large number of pink arrows were released.

"The Captive's Arrow!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The collision between the flying slash and the captured arrow instantly created large-scale explosions.

However, just as Hancock confidently finished releasing the "Captive Arrow" and was about to casually brush her long hair that had fallen across her chest...

"Whoosh!"

A flying slash suddenly broke through the blockade of "Prisoner's Arrow," passing right by Hancock and even severing several strands of her hair.

[Chapter 347. Absolutely Impossible!]

As she watched those strands of hair slowly drift down from mid-air, Hancock's expression instantly turned terrifying.

Gion's figure quickly approached, using Armament Haki to protect herself, forcibly crossing the explosion zone, her "Famous Sword - Kinpira" pointing directly at Hancock's vitals as she shouted.

"Hancock, how dare you show your face here! I will not allow you to take Major General Yann away again today, no matter what."

"I will make up for the regrets of the past with my own hands today!"

"boom!"

The next moment, the "Famous Sword - King Pira" collided violently with Hancock's elegantly raised leg.

"Oh?"

Hancock's expression turned amused at this moment. She looked down at Gion with a condescending gaze and then said disdainfully.

"What? So, another woman who has succumbed to my husband's charm?"

Instantly, Gion seemed to have been struck in the heart by those words, her expression a mixture of shame and anger, her gaze towards Hancock seeming to be murderous.

"Admiral Yann wasn't acting voluntarily at all. What right do you, a pirate, have to..."

However, when Gion's gaze shifted and she noticed Hancock's perfectly proportioned figure with an unusually protruding belly, she froze completely, and her hand holding the "Famous Sword - Kinpira" trembled slightly.

"That...that is..."

Gion stammered, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, comparable to when she witnessed the appearance of Hades, the ancient weapon that had been dormant for eight hundred years.

"That's right~"

Hancock gently stroked her belly, her face radiating pride and satisfaction, and said, "This is Lord Yern's."

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Gion, causing her face to turn pale instantly.

“What…what a joke, impossible, absolutely impossible…” Gion muttered to herself, taking one step after another backward.

Hancock did not answer, as if she disdained to attack an opponent of a different level, and instead gently stroked her protruding belly.

"He was forced into it, Major General Yann must have been forced into it..."

"Given Major General Yann's belief in and commitment to justice, how could he possibly give in so easily?"

"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe such a thing!"

Gion murmured, recalling what Vice Admiral Tsuru had said to her about half a year ago.

"Gion, Rear Admiral Yan is in a very difficult situation right now. For the sake of peace on the seas, the World Government has chosen to abandon Rear Admiral Yan in an attempt to obtain information about that being capable of destroying the world..."

"In order to protect Rear Admiral Yann, Fleet Admiral Sengoku specially dispatched Rear Admiral Yann to recruit Boa Hancock to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, unexpectedly, Boa Hancock seems to have become madly infatuated with Rear Admiral Yann."

"Therefore, Fleet Admiral Sengoku will choose to go with the flow and use this excuse to keep Major General Yan on Amazon Lily, thereby preventing the World Government from persecuting Major General Yan."

"Of course, this might mean that Rear Admiral Yann would have to suffer some injustice and be forced to marry that pirate empress."

"However, all of this is for the peace and stability of the sea, and I also believe that Major General Yann can withstand this kind of hardship and grievances..."

Those words, which were once unbelievable to Gion, still echo clearly in my ears when I recall them.

All for the peace and stability of the sea...

With just a simple sentence, Gion felt an immense weight, forced to watch helplessly as Aeon was trapped in the hellish conditions of Amazon Lily, unable to go to her rescue.

Overwhelmed with grief, Gion has devoted herself to training for the past six months, pouring all her sorrow and despair into her swordsmanship, and becoming the youngest female great swordsman in this vast sea!
