Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

???

Ya'en.

For a moment, Yann didn't know what expression to make.

This...this kind of plot shouldn't be happening...

No, that's not right. Could it be that with Kaji's emotional intelligence, he couldn't sense the... uh... between me and Gion?

How can I... impart my experience and demonstrate how to capture Gion's heart in person?

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had been watching the Sengoku period as if it were a show, couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over, patted Kaji on the shoulder, and said...

"Vice Admiral Chaton, could you please confirm the itineraries of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Ah good."

Kake was taken aback at first, then hurriedly went to check the itineraries of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Immediately afterward, after Kaji had moved a distance away, Vice Admiral Tsuru coughed lightly, just as he was about to say something.

As the Kuja pirate ship docked, a series of unmistakable sounds of high heels clattering against the ground rang out. (To be continued)

[Chapter 421. The Child Was an Accident]

Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and known as the "Pirate Empress"!

At this moment, with Hancock's appearance, she undoubtedly became the sole focus of the entire naval port, and almost all the sailors couldn't help but stare blankly at the most beautiful woman in the sea.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her face was stunningly beautiful, and her slender waist, accentuated by the unique clothing of Amazon Lily, made her already perfect figure even more breathtaking.

Every rounded tremor, every step of her long, beautiful legs, though merely unconscious actions, exuded an unparalleled charm and allure.

Compared to when she was seventeen or eighteen and became the "Pirate Empress," Hancock is now even more stunningly beautiful and radiant.

At this moment, the pride and domineering aura that Hancock exuded as she looked around made it seem as if she were walking on conquered land, even though she was a pirate walking on the Marineford naval port.

However, the countless marines who were staring intently at Hancock did not sense anything amiss. On the contrary, they wished they could offer everything to the beautiful empress before them.

So beautiful...

The unwavering will that many sailors had cultivated in the past proved utterly vulnerable under the charisma of Hancock.

"What an exaggerated woman."

Upon truly observing Hancock up close, even Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but remark, "This level of charm is indeed quite terrifying."

Lieutenant General Garp, standing to the side, picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "Well, I still think you were more reliable when you were younger, Tsuru."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Tsuru couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lieutenant General Garp.

In this guy's eyes, he can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness at all, let alone what it means to be more reliable.

Just then, Hotaru, who was being held in the arms of the Sengoku Marshal, excitedly waved and shouted in the direction of Hancock.

"Mother, here, here."

However, Hancock glanced at the Queen of Light and walked towards Yann without hesitation, naturally wanting to take Yann's arm.

"Cough cough..."

Yone coughed twice, quickly averting his gaze from Gion, and whispered a reminder, "Hancock, be mindful of the consequences, be mindful of the consequences."

Hancock's voice suddenly became somewhat low and dejected.

"Yes... Lord Arn..."

After a pause, Hancock turned around, took the drink from her subordinate, and brought it to Yann's lips, saying...

"Lord Yann, are you thirsty? This is a drink I made myself..."

"Hancock, have you forgotten? I told you to be careful about your behavior in Marineford and not to be too intimate..." Yone reminded her again in a low voice.

Hancock, devoid of her previous domineering demeanor, instead replied weakly, "This can't be considered intimate, Lady Yone. Intimate gestures aren't..."

Seeing this scene, Gion clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly, her expression incredibly complex. As for Ying, who had been waving at Hancock, her movements froze, and she said weakly.

"I knew it would be like this..."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was initially hesitant about whether to go up and greet Hancock as the Fleet Admiral, noticed that Ying's expression was somewhat disappointed and couldn't help but ask her with concern.

"Ying, what's wrong? Are you having trouble adjusting to the new environment?"

"No...it's just that Mother ignored me again," Ying pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"How could that be? Ying is so cute, who would dare... ignore Ying?" the Warlord said reassuringly.

"No, I'm used to it. Mother is always like this. As long as Father is around, no one else exists in Mother's eyes."

For a moment, Ying, who looked young and cute, revealed a look that showed she had suffered enough from human suffering, which made the Warring States Marshal both amused and exasperated, and he comforted her.

"Perhaps it's just an illusion."

Kong shook his head and began to explain.

“Grandpa, what Ying said is actually not wrong. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of people: one is Father, and the other is everyone else. Even Ying is no exception.”

Upon hearing Kong's words, Ying sighed repeatedly.

"Perhaps it's just as Mother said, the child was an accident, and Father is the true love. What a blinding love! Mingying is much cuter than Father, hmph!"

"It's alright, it's alright. In Grandpa's eyes, you two are the cutest. Your father is sloppy and unambitious, which is why people dislike him."

Immediately, Marshal Sengoku ignored Aon and carried Sora and Hikari towards his courtyard, saying...

"Grandpa will take you home first to familiarize you with the place. From now on, you can stay in Marineford."

"Huh? Grandpa, um, Father always says we're prone to causing trouble. Will staying here affect you?" Ying asked softly.

"No, no, that's impossible," the Warring States Marshal replied kindly.

"Wow, there are so many adults here. They all look so strong. Won't they fight Ying?"

"Let's see who dares to do that. Kong, Ying, you can just treat Marineford as your own home. Grandpa will take care of anything that happens to you."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

……

Listening to the words that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was saying to Sora and Hikari as he walked away, Aon opened his mouth slightly, subconsciously wanting to remind Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but it was obviously too late.

In terms of physical abilities, Sora is indeed somewhat like Arn in the past, not at all outstanding, and has a relatively stable personality, making him a reliable and trustworthy child.

But Luminous is completely different. In addition to having a body structure similar to that of a "bloodline factor" modified body, she also perfectly inherited Hancock's characteristics.

So, despite her delicate and adorable appearance, which makes her seem like an easily pushed-over little princess, she has perfectly inherited Hancock's proud, willful, and warlike nature. Furthermore, she possesses an extraordinary talent for Haki, a trait unique to the Kuja clan.

Furthermore, after Ying's physique was given a higher starting point.

As she gets older, while Ying's physique hasn't reached the extreme strength of Charlotte Linlin, who was known as the "Iron Balloon" at the same age, it has still reached an extremely terrifying level.

At least... Ying, who is only six years old on the surface, has already surpassed Aon by several levels in her training in "Armament Haki".

The island of Ruskaina, once teeming with powerful beasts that made the Kuja clan wary, has now been nearly destroyed by Ying's "adventure".

On several occasions, without Arn noticing, Ying even jumped into the calm zone to try and capture a super-giant sea king.

In short... after Marshal Sengoku made such a boast, even if Marineford were to be destroyed by Firefly someday, Arn wouldn't be surprised at all. (To be continued)

[Chapter 422 Important Meeting]

Watching Fleet Admiral Sengoku walk away, chatting and laughing with Sora and Hikari, Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head helplessly, but he understood Fleet Admiral Sengoku's state of mind and did not say anything.

For the past six years, thinking about Kong and Ying has become almost the only pleasure and concern for the Warring States Marshal outside of his work.

Although the Sengoku Marshal did not actually accompany Sora and Hikari as they grew up, he still spoke with them countless times through Den Den Mushi, showing his concern for their growth.

Therefore, Vice Admiral Tsuru fully understands the excitement and joy that Fleet Admiral Sengoku felt after finally meeting Sora and Hikari.

It was precisely because of this that the Warring States Marshal, who began to understand this feeling, allowed Vice Admiral Garp to take a full six-year leave, allowing him to stay in Windmill Village to accompany his grandson.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku probably didn't want his regrets to befall Vice Admiral Garp, and also wanted his old friend's grandson to have a wonderful and warm childhood.

Meanwhile, Ace and Luffy, who had stolen a barrel of sake while staying in Windmill Village, were in a state of complete intoxication.

"Ace, cheers! Waaaaah~ Grandpa's finally gone, that's great~" Luffy cried and stammered as he sobbed.

"Those were truly six years of hell, Luffy." Ace also wore a lingering fearful expression.

After Marshal Sengoku left, Vice Admiral Tsuru coughed lightly and spoke.

"Ahem! Major General Yann, Hancock, let's go in too. Staying here at the naval port will disrupt normal order."

Upon hearing this, Yann turned his gaze and noticed that the eyes of all the naval personnel in the port were still fixed on Hancock, and the operation of the entire port had almost come to a standstill.

"Sorry, I had forgotten about that."

Yann scratched his head. After living with Hancock and Robin on Ruskaina Island for six years, he had actually forgotten the terrifying destructive power of Hancock's charm on ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, Yann and Hancock followed Lieutenant General Tsuru and Lieutenant General Garp out of the naval port and headed towards Marineford.

"Major General Yann, you can rest for a day. After General Borsalino and General Kuzan return to Marineford tomorrow, please make sure you attend the meeting."

After Vice Admiral Tsuru led Aon and Hancock to a temporary residential area for the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," he spoke.

"Oh, is it not possible to not participate? My current rank is only major general, so I probably am not qualified."

However, looking at the gentle, ambiguous smile on Lieutenant General Tsuru's face, Yann couldn't help but sigh and say, "I understand."

"Then I'll trouble you. It just so happens that your position will be reassigned tomorrow, so you should rest well today."

Immediately afterwards, Vice Admiral Tsuru led Vice Admiral Garp and Gion away from the area.

"Tsk..."

Watching Lieutenant General Tsuru and the others leave, Arn shook his head helplessly, but he also understood that he and Lieutenant General Garp had been asked to return to Marineford in a hurry for the meeting the next day.

For this reason, the three admirals of the Navy, who each had different responsibilities, were all summoned back and reunited in Marineford.

"It seems that the commotion in the 'New World' has indeed reached a point where it cannot be ignored."

Yann muttered something to himself, then decided not to return to Fleet Admiral Sengoku's courtyard, but instead settled down with Hancock at the residence prepared for the "Seven Warlords of the Sea."

The next day.

The entire Marineford Naval Headquarters was on high alert, and the chilling atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

In the conference room at Marineford, Marshal Sengoku, whose eyes still held a hint of gentle warmth, entered the room with a solemn and dignified expression.
