Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"You... you're just going to let Sanji and me go like that? We have the secret of hidden bloodline factors within us."

“Bloodline factors are not my main research area,” Luo replied.

"So what exactly did you do to me and Sanji before?" Reiju pressed.

"Simply put, that person needed data on your and Sanji's physical structure. Now that the data has been collected, you are naturally of no value anymore," Law replied in an exceptionally calm tone.

In an instant, Reiju finally realized that she had misunderstood Aon and asked, "This... is this what Lord Hyōrinmaru meant by needing my and Sanji's help?"

"That's right..."

After a pause, Luo raised his wrist to check the time and said.

"You have one hour left. You can decide your destination: other sea areas or to be sent directly back to Germa 66..."

“No, I’m not going back to Germa 66,” Reiju answered almost instinctively.

"Whatever you want. Use this time to think about your destination and get used to your current body. Once you're sure there are no problems, then prepare to take Sanji on board and leave."

After a pause, Luo reiterated his words.

"Furthermore, my modifications to you were done with your permission. I didn't make any modifications to Sanji, although there are more areas on his body that could be modified than yours. So let me state this in advance: if you're asking me to restore your body, I refuse."

Upon hearing this, Reiju's expression turned solemn. She bowed deeply to Luo and said, "No, thank you, Mr. Luo. I am extremely grateful to you for giving me a new life."

"Ah."

Luo nodded calmly, then turned and left the room with his hands in his pockets.

Inside the room, Reiju's gaze gradually turned blank as she rubbed her cheeks, then she murmured with joyful tears in her eyes.

"I am finally free..."

Is this what they call tomorrow?

……

An hour later, when Reiju appeared before Law with Sanji, beaming, and was about to thank Law again...

Law simply waved to his assistant, and two black hoods were immediately placed over Reiju and Sanji's heads.

"This laboratory is a secret. Do not try to come back to find it, nor try to spy on its location on your way out. Just forget everything that happened in the laboratory."

The slightly cold and aloof voice of Rona rang out, but at that moment, it brought Reiju and Sanji immense peace of mind.

“Then tell me, what is your desired destination?” Luo then asked.

“The Grand Line. Sanji wants to go to the Grand Line to find All Blue, and I will accompany Sanji to find All Blue,” Reiju replied.

"Dreams? Then I wish you a safe journey."

The next moment, the familiar sensation of another sedative being injected into their bodies entered Reiju and Sanji's minds.

"What a... brutal and heartless man..."

Reiju remained fully conscious, but did not offer any resistance.

Instead, she allowed herself and Sanji to be put on a ship, embarking on their journey across the sea in this unusual way. (To be continued)

[Chapter 410: The Night Revives]

"Hmm? Reiju and Sanji have already left? They chose the Grand Line as their destination? Not surprising. Let them go. Reiju is quite strong. Let them choose their own journey."

"Also, Luo, Ying is too energetic! She can cry and fuss for 20 hours out of 24. Isn't that a problem?"

"What? No problem? Your sister used to cry and fuss like this all the time? Impossible, I feel there's still something wrong..."

Before Arn could finish speaking, Hotaru, who was being held by Hancock in the distance, burst into tears. Her Conqueror's Haki was unleashed violently, and even though Arn had deliberately kept a considerable distance, the Den Den Mushi in his hand was instantly knocked unconscious.

Perhaps, let alone Den Den Mushi, even the little gold standing on Aon's shoulder looked shriveled and listless, swaying like a drunkard under the impact of "Conqueror's Haki".

"Ugh……"

Yaen sighed deeply.

The island where Yann is now located is called "Ruscaina Island", also known as "48 Seasons Island", a calm zone island not far from Amazon Lily.

Choosing to stay on this island was entirely out of necessity.

After all, even if "Conqueror's Haki" is not a rare thing for the strong people in this sea, it can be said to be as common as carp crossing a river in the "New World Sea".

However, "Conqueror's Haki," which can affect real matter, is a completely different concept. Only a very small number of powerful individuals who stand at the pinnacle of the ocean can cultivate this level of "Conqueror's Haki," let alone the fact that Sora and Luminos were born with this ability.

After all, being born with "Conqueror's Haki" makes it too easy for others to associate it with concepts like "born king".

Therefore, Arn could only temporarily keep Sora and Ying away from others' sight to avoid their information being leaked and causing unnecessary speculation.

Given that Sora and Hikari are currently unable to control their "Conqueror's Haki," they are simply unable to live in densely populated places like Amazon Lily.

Otherwise, the situation might be that every time Sora and Ying cry and make a fuss, the resulting "Conqueror's Haki" will erupt on a large scale, causing a large number of citizens to be forced into a standby state and enter a dizzy state.

Therefore, in the end, Yann could only choose to stay on Ruscaina Island, which is not far from Amazon Lily.

This way, it not only replenishes supplies but also allows Hancock to return to Amazon Lily at any time to handle domestic affairs, while Yann can also respond to various emergencies in a timely manner.

"Ugh……"

Yaen sighed again, feeling that the dark circles under his eyes had become even deeper.

During this period, Yann has never slept for more than two hours.

after all……

In some matters, Yann, Hancock, and Robin had absolutely no experience, and were driven to despair by Sora and Firefly.

Furthermore, Aon is used to maintaining Observation Haki at all times, so even if he takes a break, he will still be instantly awakened if either Sora or Ying unleashes Conqueror's Haki.

Of course, more often than not, it's the duet of Sora and Luminosity's "Conqueror's Haki" that continues to unfold.

"It's so difficult! Is there any Devil Fruit that can accelerate a child's development? At least skip this age of constant crying and fussing, and ideally, be able to eat, use the toilet, bathe, and dress themselves..."

As Yann grumbled helplessly, he walked toward the edge of the island.

Ruscaina Island, known for its ferocious beasts and even feared by the Nine Serpents, was littered with all sorts of enormous wild animals lying haphazardly along the way.

The few beasts that weren't stunned were also cowering in fear, too afraid to move.

"You've all suffered too, my naughty kids have caused you trouble..."

Instead of taking advantage of the situation to roast these "neighbors," Yann felt a sense of shared misfortune.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, until Sora and Hikari are able to perfectly control their "Conqueror's Haki" to prevent any leakage, [this will likely continue].

For the next few years, these "neighbors" will probably need to occasionally accompany Sora and Hikari on some adventures to enrich their childhood.

Otherwise, the whole island would be too deserted, which would be detrimental to growth.

While pondering whether to populate Ruskaina Island with some rare creatures from other islands in advance, Yann tried various "gentle" methods to awaken the Den Den Mushi.

Finally, after some patience from Yan, the bruised and battered Den Den Mushi regained consciousness.

"Moshi moshi, Chief of the General Staff?"

Dragon's voice came through the Den Den Mushi. "Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you on having a son and a daughter. You have an heir."

Upon hearing this, Yann couldn't help but smile, but he waved his hands repeatedly as he spoke.

"It's not good at all. The two of them are too noisy, and I haven't been able to get a proper rest for several days."

"That's easy..."

Dorrag generously shared his experience.

"When faced with this situation back then, I simply sent Luffy back to Windmill Village to be fostered. After I was busy for a while, I found that Luffy had already passed through that noisy period."

???

Ya'en.

If I remember correctly, although Windmill Village is Dorrag's hometown, he doesn't usually have any relatives living there, right?

Therefore, sentencing such behavior as "child abandonment" seems entirely justified...

Add to that Dorag's face, half of which is covered in tattoos, and it's probably no problem for him to get a few more years in prison.

Hehe~

Yann chuckled a few times, promptly ending his discussion with Drag on this topic, and instead asked a question.

"How are the preparations for the World Conference going?"

"It went even more smoothly than I expected..."

After a pause, Dorrag continued.

"Speaking of which, Chief of the General Staff, what did you do to Germa 66? After they crossed the Calm Belt and rejoined the Navy, our comrades secretly probed them and found that their attitude had suddenly become much more low-key. Not only did they not have the intention to take the opportunity to provoke a war, but they also showed strong opposition to the issue of 'canceling the title of World Member State'."

“No, it was simply a fair and just transaction with Germa 66,” Yann replied.

"I see..."

Dragon naturally understood that things were definitely not that simple, but he didn't intend to delve into it. After confirming the relevant information about the World Conference preparations with Yann, he...

Then, Dragon steered the conversation to the Hades construction project, codenamed "Night Revival." (To be continued)

[Chapter 411. No Retreat]

"The initial preparations are progressing smoothly so far, but there are still 378 types of materials that need to be continuously collected worldwide. Among them, more than 80 types are strictly controlled and monitored by the World Government and need to be collected through various channels..."

Upon hearing this, Yann couldn't help but offer a reminder.

“Dorag, we must be careful when collecting those sensitive materials. We can’t collect them through channels like the black market, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of the CP organization.”

"But this will further slow down the collection process..."

After a pause, Dorrag continued, somewhat helplessly.

"More importantly, there are some sensitive materials that the organization has no access to at all, and they have only been rumored to have circulated in the black market in certain sea areas."

Immediately, Yann's brows furrowed deeply.

The construction of Hades is of paramount importance to the Revolutionary Army and is one of their most important projects at present.

After thinking for a moment, Yann suddenly thought of something and said, "Send over the sensitive materials you're missing in the form of documents, and I'll figure something out."

"Hmm? You have a way? Using the Navy's channels? That's too dangerous. If the CP organization finds out, it will be even harder to cover it up," Dragon refused.

“It’s not through the naval channels, but through other means. I’ll try them first,” Yann said.
