Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

The next moment, "Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" suddenly realized what was happening and said anxiously, "Lord Yann, the Pirate Empress may be appearing soon. It's dangerous here, please leave immediately."

"don’t worry……"

Yaen pushed up his glasses, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, but his smile grew even gentler as he said, "I can assure you, my wife isn't the type to prey on ordinary people."

"Huh? My...my wife?" "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" stared wide-eyed, too shocked to speak.

“Yes, the details are complicated, but I did marry Hancock. I’m on Gross Island for my honeymoon. So could you introduce me to the mayor so the residents don’t have to worry too much?” Yann asked.

Clang~~

"Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" could no longer hold the big stick in his hand, letting it fall to the ground, looking dazed, with an expression similar to that of someone whose faith had collapsed.

And Yann was in no hurry, quietly waiting for "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" to digest the news.

However, Hancock, who was constantly watching Yone on the Nine Serpents ship, grew somewhat displeased and shouted domineeringly, "Hey, you rude man, how long do you intend to be so disrespectful to my husband? Do you believe I'll turn your entire town into stone?"

Immediately, the "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" shuddered involuntarily at Hancock's words, which exuded an air of dominance.

Yone turned around and gave Hancock a somewhat disgruntled look, then called out, "Hancock!"

In an instant, Hancock, who had been looking down on everyone and acting as if she were the only one worthy of respect, shrank back and quickly covered her mouth, looking startled.

Upon seeing this, "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel's" eyes gradually brightened.

I understand!

The privileges of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can cause damage to the peace and justice of the sea that the Navy is powerless to stop. Is Lord Aon sacrificing himself to restrain the Pirate Empress in order to curb this damage?

As expected of the near-perfect Lord Yarrow, he's truly great...

[Chapter 379 You...are a Naval Hero]

Indeed, there are many ways to uphold justice. Just like how I do everything I can to take care of the older women in the brothel district, it's all to prevent anyone from exploiting them.

It seems that Lord Yan's thoughts are very similar to mine!

Immediately, the "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" looked at Ya'en with undisguised admiration, as if he saw a guiding light on his path, which left Ya'en somewhat bewildered.

Has this guy... wandered off somewhere?

Yaen clearly felt that he was once again out of touch with the thought processes of the men on this vast ocean.

In fact, Yann took the initiative to appear and communicate with "Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" in order to convey his whereabouts to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters through "Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" and observe the subsequent developments.

"cough……"

Immediately, feeling a little uncomfortable under the adoring gaze of "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel," Yann coughed lightly and reminded "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel."

"Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" also came to his senses and quickly spoke up.

"Lord Yann, no problem, I'll introduce you to the mayor right away..."

Immediately afterwards, "Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" didn't bother to pick up the iron bar that had fallen to the ground. He turned around and led Arn toward the town, introducing him to the interesting and worthwhile places to visit on Gross Island along the way.

"Lord Yann, Gross Island is most famous for its beaches, with long stretches of shallow water that keep sea kings away, and the crystal-clear water is perfect for swimming. Plus, there's one of the best amusement parks in the North Sea nearby..."

"Of course, the food is also quite good. Gros Island has all kinds of North Sea specialties, and I can guarantee that the ingredients are absolutely fresh."

"By the way, Lord Yern, Gross Island also has a unique folk-custom street and hot springs, which I personally think are very worthwhile places to visit and experience..."

Towards the end, "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" lowered his voice considerably, and even seemed to intend to explain the ins and outs and his experience to Arn in detail.

With his upright character, how could Yann possibly do something so cowardly?

“That’s kind of you, but I’m here with Hancock on a trip to Gross Island,” Yann said politely.

"Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" suddenly realized and said repeatedly, "I understand, I understand. Then next time I will entertain Lord Yern properly and make sure Lord Yern wants to stay longer."

? ?

Ya'en.

The mayor was somewhat bewildered as he watched "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" and Ya'en, dressed in civilian clothes, chatting amiably, even appearing somewhat ingratiating.

“Lieutenant Colonel, who is this?” the town mayor asked.

"This person is from the Navy Headquarters..."

Before "Colonel Big Stick" could finish speaking, Yann waved his hand, took the initiative to shake hands with the mayor, and introduced himself.

“I am Tefimo Yann. Just treat me like an ordinary person. I came to Gross Island from the Grand Line just to take a trip. There’s no need to be nervous.”

"travel?"

The mayor looked at the gentle-smiling Yann, then looked up at the giant pirate ship that occupied almost half of the harbor, and his mouth felt dry.

Is it really just a vacation?

Upon hearing this, the "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" standing to the side couldn't help but speak up.

"Idiot, who do you think Lord Arn is? He was the previous Inspector General of the North Sea, and is now a Rear Admiral in the Navy Headquarters."

"North Sea Inspectorate? Rear Admiral from the Navy Headquarters?!"

The town mayor was utterly astonished by these two identities, which were practically the pinnacle of what was possible on an ordinary island in the North Sea. "But...but that's not a pirate crew..."

"Don't worry, Mayor. Just treat them like ordinary tourists. I'll keep them in check. If they accidentally damage anything on the island, I'll compensate them at the original price."

Under Yann's gentle voice, the mayor gradually calmed down.

After all, the man in front of him looked gentle and refined, and didn't seem like a villain at all. In addition, with the "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel's" praise, the mayor's heart gradually calmed down.

'A Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters? Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's not that impressive. There are supposedly countless Rear Admirals in the Grand Line.'

'And he wasn't even wearing a navy uniform. Uh, he's right, I'll just treat him like a regular tourist on vacation.'

Just as the mayor was trying to console himself, a newsbird flew overhead and, as usual, dropped newspapers in several specific areas.

"Snapped!"

As luck would have it, a newspaper hit the town mayor squarely.

"That damn news bird, next time it settles the monthly Pele, it has to deduct a portion..."

The mayor, muttering curses, picked up the newspaper. Just as he was about to say something to Yann, his gaze inadvertently swept over the contents of the newspaper, and his voice sounded like a duck with its neck stuck.

"what happened?"

"Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" looked at the town mayor, who was holding a newspaper, his face pale and covered in sweat. He asked in confusion and peeked over at him.

The next moment, as "Big Stick Lieutenant Colonel" saw the contents of the newspaper, his pupils shrank, as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.

For a moment, it was Ya'en who was left completely out of the loop. He wanted to ask, but felt it would be too impolite, until a gasp came from the next street.

"The legendary ancient weapon, Hades, has appeared!!!"

Huh? A report about Pluto?

Hearing that exclamation, Yann was somewhat taken aback.

After all, the newspapers of the news agency are not absolutely fair and impartial. In addition to being influenced by the subjective opinions of the news agency's president, Morgans, they are also subject to the control of the world government.

Therefore, it was something that Y'en hadn't expected that something like the Ancient Weapon Hades would be featured in the newspaper.

Just as Yann was considering the World Government's intentions and impact in publicly announcing the "Ancient Weapon - Hades," "Lieutenant Colonel Big Stick" stammered out.

"Lord A...Arn, you...you...are a naval hero."

Huh? Did the report mention my contribution?

A hint of doubt flashed in Yann's eyes, but he waved his hand and said, "What heroism? I'm just an ordinary person. My contributions are only to live up to the justice I bear."

The mayor, who was slow to realize what was happening, was now completely excited, as if he were seeing a living legend suddenly standing in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Lord Yann, I know you want to interact with us as an ordinary person, but... but..."

"But you are the naval hero who pierced the darkness shrouded by Hades with the dawn, saving this vast sea!!!"

[Chapter 380. Newspaper Column]

What the hell?

A naval hero who pierced the darkness with the dawn and saved the sea?

Yaen blinked, then snatched the newspaper from the mayor's hand and unfolded it. The first thing he saw almost made him faint.

The picture that took up half the newspaper page was not the ancient weapon Hades, but rather Yann maintaining the state of "Final Scenery: White Emperor Sword". The White Emperor Sword he held, against the deliberately dark background, was like a ray of dawn representing hope.

Title: "A Dark Crisis Arises from the Overturning Seas—The Revival of the Ancient Weapon Pluton; Naval Hero 'Sakura Dragon' Tefimer Yone Pierces the Darkness with the Dawn!!!"

Furthermore, the text on the left side of the image is not a description of the event, but rather a large section about Yann.

"Tefimo Yann, 25 years old, Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. He grew up under the righteous influence of Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He is gentle yet resolute, and possesses a strong sense of justice..."

"He officially joined the Navy at the age of sixteen, and made great contributions in his first battle by participating in the 'Buster Call'. He was then appointed as the 'Inspector General of the North Blue', and in six years he transformed the discipline of the North Blue Navy. Afterwards, he fought in the north and south, traversed the Grand Line, faced the great pirate Kaido of the Beasts, and fought against the Hueco Mundo organization..."

The Warring States Marshal praised him: "Unparalleled in the vast ocean, he wielded the power of falling cherry blossoms and the dawn with a frail physique."

Admiral Kizaru praised him as a "model for the Navy."

"Admiral Aokiji believes that the position of the next admiral in the Navy belongs to him alone."

"The Five Elders' assessment of Rear Admiral Yann is: The Light of the Navy!"

???

Ya'en.

Is it fake... or is it fake?

At that moment, Yan thought he was in a hallucination, having fallen victim to a "mirage" instead of a dream.

This is not just about dominating newspaper pages; it's like treating an entire ocean of newspapers as a column.

In fact, Yann subconsciously suspected that he might have some shady deal with Morgans News Agency, otherwise, what was the reason for this extraordinary treatment?

Even when an old man from the Warring States period was promoted to the rank of marshal, the newspapers didn't have such a grand display.

And those reviews and comments are just ridiculous.

In the end, Yan felt completely numb. The world government's encirclement and suppression that he had anticipated did not occur; instead, what he received was...

That's so childish and embarrassing.

Which bastard took these photos of me? And those comments are just so cringeworthy, like they're trying to make sure I'm not cool enough.

In contrast, the description of the Ancient Weapon Hades is less detailed than that of Arn, and it is even more ambiguous regarding the location of the battle, the reason for its awakening, and Hades' specific abilities.
