Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Yarn said seriously."

"The Navy is not a place for power struggles. If someone with ulterior motives interprets your behavior as me, Tefimo Yarn, being eager to seize power as soon as I've been promoted, what a terrible impact that would be!"

"It's even possible that the ocean would become turbulent as a result."

In an instant, Hope's face turned pale, clearly realizing that this possibility might exist.

"Push them back, push all the tasks that have been accepted back..."

After a pause, Yann sat down again and continued, "To show humility and unity, let's hand over the tasks that rightfully belong to us to Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

"After all, as a newcomer, it's more important for me to learn from my seniors and accumulate experience gradually, rather than rushing to deal with various situations."

Hope instinctively saluted, responding with a mixture of guilt and sudden realization. "Yes, I've learned something, Lord Arne."

However, a few breaths later, when Yann looked up, he found Hope standing there motionless with a troubled expression.

"But, Lord Arn, what Marshal Sengoku told me before was that if you didn't handle these missions, the seas would become even more turbulent..." (To be continued)

[Chapter 426. Why is he so skilled?]

? ?

Ya'en.

So, Major General Hope was already misled by Marshal Sengoku, and now I've misled him on the other leg too. Now he's standing here unable to walk.

"Ugh……"

Yaen sighed helplessly.

"What should we do then, Lord Yann?" Hope asked, torn between the two.

What else can I do?

You're unreliable, so I'll have to deal with that old man from the Warring States period myself and send those tasks back to him.

Yann glanced at Hope, then spoke.

"Come here and tell me, which tasks were assigned to you as extras?"

"Yes, Lord Yann."

Major General Hope then walked up to Yann and explained in detail the mission arrangements for the coming week.

"and many more……"

Suddenly, Yann realized something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Something's not right, Major General Hope, why are you so skilled?"

"Huh?" Hope looked at Yann in confusion.

“Although you were my adjutant on my warship before, these things were more related to clerical work. How come you are so skilled at handling and explaining them?” Yaen asked suspiciously.

"That's right, Lord Yan. Six years ago, after you pierced the Ancient Weapon Pluton and were initially recognized as a Marine Hero by the World Government, I was assigned to be your adjutant. For the next six years, I honed my skills in Vice Admiral Garp's office," Hope replied.

Ayan's lips twitched slightly. He realized that the trap that Marshal Sengoku had dug for him six years ago, and asked...

"Vice Admiral Garp? Hasn't Vice Admiral Garp been on vacation in the East Blue for the past six years?"

Hope answered with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Garp has been on leave, but his office has been running smoothly under the supervision of his adjutant, who handles various matters. I have also learned a lot in the past six years, and I believe I will be able to provide assistance to Lord Arne."

Upon hearing this, Yann subconsciously rubbed his slightly stubbled chin, a smile gradually spreading across his face. "Is that so? In that case, let me see the results of your studies, Major General Hope."

"Eh? Lord Yern, what do you mean?" Hope asked.

Yern patted Hope on the shoulder and asked with a friendly smile, "You'll handle these tasks on your own... right?"

Without giving Hope a chance to refuse, Yann turned and walked out of the office.

Seeing this, Hope pressed further. "This... Lord Yern, do you have other matters to attend to?"

"Yes, it's very important, so unless those 'Sea Emperors' reach Marineford, don't bother me..."

Ya'en waved his hand and disappeared through the office door.

On his way out of Marineford, an office building with an architectural style somewhat similar to a castle tower, Yann finally got a taste of what it meant to be in a high position of power.

Almost all the navy personnel who approached Arn instinctively made way for him, then saluted and greeted him, only daring to move when Arn was far away.

"Honestly...it makes me sound like some kind of warlord..."

After leaving the office building, Yann loosened his tie and muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have come all this way today out of curiosity about the office's location and decor..."

"Little Jin!"

As Yann whispered a word, a canary fluttered through the air and landed on Yann's shoulder.

"Let's go. Is everything ready?"

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

"Have you scouted out the locations beforehand?"

"Chirp~"

"Are Sora and Hikari still in the courtyard? Will that affect the plan?"

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

"Excellent! The biggest obstacle has been removed. It seems we can definitely break through our past limits and reach a whole new level today!"

Yaen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The next moment, Yan moved his feet and his figure disappeared instantly, quickly heading in the direction indicated by Xiao Jin.

After Arn's figure disappeared, a naval lieutenant commander who had just casually passed by Arn looked in Arn's direction, gently adjusted his hat, and muttered to himself.

"Things? Location? Plan?"

"Could this newly appointed 'Naval Hero' really have some problems? I didn't expect to make a discovery on the very first day."

"Should we inform the higher-ups... No, this is a great opportunity to make a contribution, if we can actually discover something substantial."

Immediately, the naval lieutenant commander glanced left and right to make sure no one else was paying attention to him, then turned and slowly walked towards Yann.

Along the way, the naval lieutenant commander quietly used his Devil Fruit ability to follow the trail by relying on the lingering scent in the air.

"Strange, the coast is just ahead..."

The naval lieutenant commander muttered to himself, his doubts growing ever stronger.

What could be the purpose of a newly appointed "naval hero" suddenly leaving the office area and heading alone to a remote coast?

Especially now... at this critical juncture, it will soon be time for the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' to gather at Marineford for a meeting.

"Could it be that he's been in contact with someone in private?"

"Or are they plotting something in secret?"

Several guesses flashed through the naval lieutenant colonel's mind, and his expression grew increasingly solemn as he slowly and cautiously moved forward.

'Just one more step forward, and after this corner, there's the coast...'

The naval lieutenant commander slowly moved his eyes outward, carefully observing the direction towards the coast, and then... his expression froze completely.

'What...what is this?!'

Sun umbrellas, beach chairs, tables, drinks, fruit, fishing rods...

The naval hero had changed into beachwear and was intently watching the **** fishing float on the sea.

Fishing...fishing?

No, impossible! Absolutely impossible!

This must be a cover-up, a kind of cover-up...

Immediately, the naval lieutenant colonel secretly moved to a more concealed location and took out more professional surveillance equipment to observe Yann's every move.

Then, Yann remained motionless in his fishing posture, while the Navy Lieutenant Commander also remained motionless to monitor him.

Until, six hours later...

The naval lieutenant commander slowly walked away with a stiff expression.

As Yann glanced in the direction the naval lieutenant commander had left, his eyes were already brimming with obvious anger.

Damn it!

Six hours!

Why didn't the fishing float move at all for six whole hours?

Even with the patience that Yann had honed on Ruscaina Island, he couldn't help but feel his anger rising.

It must have been that guy who affected the fish's bite; it had nothing to do with my technique.

Two more hours...

"Blanching..."

"Xiao Jin, where did you choose this place? Where are the fish?" (To be continued)

[Chapter 427. Where did the fish come from?]

I've already returned to Marineford to continue being a naval officer, so am I supposed to continue being an "air force" while fishing?

I disagree!

This is absolutely unacceptable!!

Yann gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the slightest movement of the float.

For the past six years, life on Ruscaina Island has been anything but interesting. Apart from his daily training, Yann has spent most of his free time fishing, a sport that cultivates his mind.

Before Sora and Hikari grew up, their unrestrained use of Conqueror's Haki left almost all the fish that approached Ruskaina Island in a state of perpetual coma.

As Sora and Ying grew a little older and gradually learned how to control their Conqueror's Haki, at least they wouldn't release it on their own whenever they got a little emotional. So, whenever Ahn went fishing, they would always play around him, seriously affecting the fish from taking the bait.

I thought...

I thought... things would change after I returned to Marineford...

'No, it won't happen, as long as you have enough patience and absolute confidence...'

As Yann murmured to himself, his mind became increasingly focused, to the point that he was completely unaware of the passage of time.
