Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Little Gold barked once, placed a large pile of seasonings in front of Ya'en, then picked up the rope at the bow of the small boat Ya'en was sitting on and sped across the sea.

only……

Bathed in the afterglow of dusk, Yann once again stepped onto the land of Marineford with a lighthearted expression and empty sleeves.

"Another day of gaining experience..."

"It's alright, the fish shop should have already prepared my spoils for today. Xiao Jin, go and get them, and remember to keep it discreet."

"As a naval hero, I will never return empty-handed from fishing!"

but……

When Aon saw Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was smilingly blocking his way with Gion, his brow twitched, and he immediately sensed that trouble was brewing.

Now... when it comes to dealing with Marshal Sengoku, Aon is already in a state of complete confidence.

As long as he uses the abilities of Sora and Hikari, even the most furious Sengoku Marshal will instantly transform into a kind grandfather.

But Lieutenant General Tsuru is not someone who can be easily fooled; he's cunning, scheming, and a wicked old man.

"What a coincidence..."

Arn gave an awkward smile, somewhat uncomfortably avoiding Gion's gaze, then looked at his bare wrist and said politely.

"Oh dear, it's already time to get off work without me even realizing it. Come over to my place sometime."

"Alright!" said Lieutenant General Tsuru.

Immediately, Ya'en's expression stiffened slightly. (To be continued)

[Chapter 429. The Seven Warlords of the Sea Are About to Assemble]

It's one thing for Lieutenant General Tsuru to be bad, but the problem is that Gion is now following behind her.

If Gion and Hancock were to come into contact, at best they would antagonize each other, and at worst they would erupt into a terrible incident of a war between a vice admiral and a Shichibukai.

Furthermore, Aon inexplicably felt a sense of unease about facing Gion.

Back then, the two of them had shared a bed, held hands, and gotten to know each other deeply...

Uh, this refers to the personalities and past experiences of both parties.

After all, Aon and Gion had been handcuffed together for more than half a year, facing each other every day. They did almost everything they could, except for things they couldn't do; and they told almost every secret they could, except for secrets they couldn't tell.

For example, Yann knew very well that Gion almost tasted a Devil Fruit when she was young because she was curious about its taste but couldn't get her hands on one...

Ultimately, due to various unexpected events, Yann was unable to truly break off his relationship with Gion. Instead, his "fake marriage" with Hancock became a real marriage, and now their child is even old enough to run errands.

Just then...

"boom!"

A sudden rumbling sound came from a nearby town and spread towards Arn, with faint, childlike voices reaching Arn's ears.

"Xiao Jin, don't run away, wait for me..."

The next moment, to Arn's utter astonishment, Xiao Jin burst forth from a cloud of smoke rising not far away, hurtling towards Arn.

Behind Xiao Jin, Ying chased after him like a cannonball. Her petite body, relying on pure brute force, generated a speed that almost instantly surpassed Xiao Jin's.

"Nonsense!"

Just as Xiao Jin was about to be caught by Ying, Ya En suddenly shouted out.

Hearing that familiar voice, Ying's movements almost instinctively paused, giving Xiao Jin a chance to escape. She landed heavily on Ya En's shoulder.

"Ah? Father."

Looking at Arn standing in front of her, Ying was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously poked her chest with two fingers, looking as if she didn't dare to look up.

Looking at Ying's pitiful and adorable appearance, Yann's voice softened as he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Help...help Grandpa buy soy sauce."

Hearing this answer, Yann couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

Then, Yann turned his head and looked around, asking, "Where's Kong?"

"he……"

Upon hearing this, Ying turned her head to look at the small town behind her.

As the smoke cleared from the town, several houses collapsed, leaving a scene of devastation. Kong was bowing repeatedly in apology, his face full of regret.

"What are you doing? Did you tear down someone's soy sauce shop while you were just buying soy sauce?"

“Father, I… I just saw Little Gold fly by, and I instinctively tried to call out to it, but it flew faster and faster, so I anxiously followed it…”

As she spoke, Ying's lips unconsciously pursed, and her eyes filled with tears, as if she had already suffered all sorts of harsh punishments from her strict father.

However, before Yann could deliberately teach Ying a lesson, Ying's pitiful, timid, and helpless appearance, which almost perfectly inherited the looks of Yann and Hancock, attracted support.

Gion immediately shielded Hotaru behind her and spoke up, "Alright, Aon, this was just an accident. Besides, can't you be a little gentler with a six or seven-year-old child?"

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Tsuru also stepped forward and spoke.

“That’s right, Lieutenant General Yann. There were no casualties this time, just some damaged buildings. I’ll notify the logistics department to come and repair them…”

After a pause, Lieutenant General Tsuru turned to look at Ying, his eyes shining slightly, and said.

"At this age, with this physique, Ying's talent is much better than yours was back then. Not bad, not bad."

Yann shook his head helplessly, but he knew all too well how powerful Luminous could be when she really let loose. He was afraid that Luminous would be the one to accomplish what Shiki the Golden Lion had failed to do back then, the same feat that Shiki had failed to accomplish in destroying Marineford.

However, in front of outsiders, Ahn couldn't speak ill of Ying, so he could only turn to Ying and say something.

"Ying, go and apologize to Kong properly first. I'll handle the compensation and such. After that, go home immediately."

Ying blinked, gave Vice Admiral Tsuru and Gion a grateful look, and quickly replied, "Yes, Father."

Immediately, watching Ying depart into the distance, Yann spoke.

"Lieutenant General Tsuru, please state your request directly. For the sake of justice, I will do my best to fulfill my duty."

"Ok?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru raised his eyelids slightly and said.

“Lieutenant General Yann misunderstands. What could I possibly ask for? I simply wish to invite Lieutenant General Yann to come with me to the naval port tomorrow to greet some troublesome figures. Otherwise, I’m worried that my old bones won’t be able to handle the situation.”

"naval port?!"

Upon hearing this, Ya'en immediately understood and asked, "Are the other six Shichibukai arriving tomorrow?"

"Eh..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru said with a slightly surprised expression, "It seems that Vice Admiral Yann is not completely obsessed with fishing; he is quite familiar with naval affairs."

However, Yann was almost immune to these words and instinctively tried to decline.

"As a member of the Navy, I am naturally willing to do my part. However, Corazon will also be arriving tomorrow. Logically speaking... I need to avoid conflict."

"It's ok!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru shook his head and said.

"That's why Vice Admiral Yann, you must be here. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are an organization established to suppress pirate forces. Therefore, as a 'Marine Hero,' you cannot send a signal to the outside world that you are afraid of the Seven Warlords."

"Ugh……"

Yaen sighed helplessly and replied, "I understand, I'll be there tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Arn's fisherman's outfit with a cloak and gave him a reminder.

"Major General Yann, don't forget your image tomorrow."

……

Ya'en.

Watching Vice Admiral Tsuru and Gion depart, Aon turned to the little gold leaf perched on his shoulder and asked, "Do I look that bad right now?"

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~~"

Without a doubt, Yann could hear the admiration, praise, and adoration in Xiao Jin's calls.

"Double the snacks for the next two weeks..."

Immediately, Xiao Jin's barking became even more energetic.

Meanwhile, Yann stroked his stubble as he pondered the troubles of tomorrow.

After all, what Vice Admiral Tsuru and the Navy wanted was to use the power generated by the gathering of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" to further demonstrate that the seas were still under the control of the World Government and the Navy, and that they did not want the Navy's power to be affected by the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"This is too difficult. How much extra screen time do I have to add for the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" (To be continued)

[Chapter 430: Clash of Conqueror's Haki]

The next day.

Wearing a suit, looking like a gentle yet somewhat decadent middle-aged man, Yan stood next to Lieutenant General Tsuru, yawning from time to time.

"Ah~~~"

"Lieutenant General Yann, did you not sleep well last night?" Lieutenant General Tsuru asked.

Naturally, Yann wouldn't admit to secretly making calls to Den Den Mushi for almost half the night yesterday. He shook his head and answered somewhat listlessly.

"No, I'm just a little nervous about today's big event, so I couldn't sleep."

Just then, Admiral Borsalino, nicknamed "Kizaru," walked over with a lewd expression and said, "No, no, Vice Admiral Tsuru, isn't young man Yan clearly just overexerted?"

Borsalino then patted Yern on the shoulder and said, "Young Yern, you need to control yourself, or what will you do when you get old?"

……

Ya'en.

In response to this baseless slander, Yann glanced at Borsalino and said, "Purely theoretical talk."

???

Borsalino's face immediately stiffened.

"Alright, General Borsalino, Lieutenant General Yann, our guests have arrived."
