Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Does Kong not know this?

However, this is the only option left.

“Zeff-sensei, you know how fast Lumine is. If Lumine is determined to stall for time, there won't be any problems…”

He paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Furthermore, I have already informed Father. I presume Father has already relayed the message to the Navy Headquarters by now? As long as we hold on, reinforcements will surely arrive."

"It's too far. The training ship has been sailing for more than a day, and the reinforcements from Marineford will take at least half a day to arrive."

Zefa had given up hope and sighed helplessly before speaking.

"I'll regain some strength soon, and then I'll cover you and Ying's escape. Don't hesitate. Weevil's physique is almost the same as Whitebeard's when he was young. Don't have any illusions that you can easily defeat that body."

This evaluation is, in some respects, one of the highest possible.

Despite still holding the title of "the strongest man in the world," Edward Newgate, nicknamed "Whitebeard," is physically weaker than he was in his youth due to years of hidden injuries and the side effects of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Therefore, in Zephyr's view, purely in terms of physical strength, Weevil is definitely at the top level in the ocean.

Kong remained silent in response.

The exact strength of this ocean, and the level at which Webul exists, cannot be accurately determined based on Kong and Ying's ages.

However, Sora and Hikari knew very well that they could not abandon Zephyr, who was risking his life to protect them, and run away alone.

"There will always be a way..."

He bit his index finger, trying hard to think, his clear eyes sparkling with wisdom.

Meanwhile, a thrilling chase was also taking place on the training ship.

"Hehehe, big guy, is that all you've got?"

Ying's silvery laughter rang out from time to time as her petite figure darted back and forth on the training ship, followed closely by a roaring Weevil, who relentlessly pursued her with his long-handled broadsword.

This scene is both funny and terrifying.

The stark contrast between Ying, who was barely knee-high to Weevil, and Weevil, who was a full two stories tall, was striking. Weevil's long-handled sword also struck Ying several times with great difficulty.

Ying's laughter, which was constantly provoking Weevil, was now tinged with a hint of crying.

Ying is so scared...

Mother, Father, where are you? There are bad guys who are about to kill Ying!

For the first time, the usually willful and mischievous Ying felt fear. In order to protect Professor Zephyr, Ying could not show any weakness and could only grit her teeth and keep provoking the big guy behind her.

"Hehehe~"

"If you're so tough, then come and bully Ying, you big guy!"

……

Meanwhile, high above a certain sea area, Yann traversed at an astonishing speed, the shockwaves generated by his speed even parting the clouds.

"null!"

Yaen looked down at the two Vivre Cards in his hand, one belonging to Sora and the other to Luminosity. Sora's Vivre Card had shrunk considerably, indicating that Sora had suffered a rather serious injury.

An unprecedented rage rose within him. Through the insights he gained from Sora and Hitsugaya, Aon had completed his training in the transformation between spiritual pressure and Conqueror's Haki over the past six years.

At this moment, an incomparably terrifying aura rose up, and the Conqueror's Haki that unconsciously emanated almost instantly shattered the clouds within several kilometers.

"Why... are we still not there?!"

"Kong, Ying, wait for Father a little longer, just a little longer..."

……

The chase on the training ship continued, and the entire training ship had been mostly destroyed by Weevil's violence, leaving Ying with less and less room to hide.

Even Ying no longer had the energy to continue mocking Weevil with laughter; instead, Weevil's mocking, dull laughter gradually rose up.

"Hehehe~"

After a long chase, Weevil gradually regained his composure and casually sliced ​​off the path in front of him with a single strike.

"boom!"

In an instant, this steel-cast training ship was sliced ​​off like a cake, with a small piece cut off, and crashed into the sea.

Ying stopped at the very edge of the incision with extreme caution.

'There's...there's no road anymore...'

Ying's expression changed slightly, and she quickly turned around, trying to escape in another direction, but Weevil's massive body had already blocked her way.

"Kid, run! Run again! Hehehe~"

Weevil looked down at the tiny figure in front of him, his eyes revealing a playful, pet-like gaze.

"Looking at you now, you little rascal actually seem kind of cute..."

Weevil took another step closer to Ying, a hint of pleasure emanating from his ugly features. "Great, these cute things should just be crushed to death, they're too much of an eyesore."

Ying nervously swallowed, her eyes darting around for possible escape routes, before speaking, "Hey, big guy, that last game doesn't count. Let's play again if you dare."

"Again?"

Weevil first looked deep in thought, then grinned and raised his long-handled sword at Ying without hesitation.

"Next, I'll chop you to pieces, brat!"

Faced with this attack, Ying, with nowhere to retreat, could only desperately swing her sword to meet it.

"block!"

In a mere instant, the sheer difference in raw power between the two sent Ying flying, leaving a trail of blood in the air she traced.

"Hehehe!"

For a moment, Weevil became even more excited and was about to carry out the final execution on Luminosity, who was in mid-air.

One more stab and this cute little brat will be completely crushed.

"very nice……"

With an excited expression, Weevil swung his long-handled sword and slashed it straight down at Ying in mid-air.

Witnessing this scene, Sora, who was quietly preparing an emergency boat to have Zephyr help Ying escape, narrowed his eyes, never expecting the situation to take such a sudden turn for the worse.

"Ying! No!!!"

Amidst Kong's heart-wrenching screams, a beam of white light suddenly shot from above the clouds, piercing through Weevil's right hand, which was gripping a long-handled sword, at a speed hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound.

[Chapter 453. Ten Sounds]

"Huh??"

Weebull was slightly taken aback, only to feel a numbness in his right hand, and then he lost all sensation.

what is this?

Weevil glanced at the white light out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was a slender blade, but something seemed off.

How could there be a blade extending down from the sky?

No, no, how could such a thin blade pierce through my right hand so easily?

Just as Weevil was filled with doubt, he suddenly saw the thin blade that had pierced his right hand disappear.

Is it...an illusion?

Just as this question arose in Webull's mind.

"puff……"

With a faint sound, all the cells on the right hand, centered on the opening pierced by the white light, began to dissolve at an explosive speed.

Before Weevil could react, his entire right hand had completely disappeared.

Only then did the unparalleled pain finally reach Webull's nerves, causing him to howl in agony for the first time.

"what!!!"

What... happened?

Zephyr and Sora were also stunned, completely unaware of what had just happened.

From their perspective, they only saw a white light descend from the sky, but it disappeared in an instant. Then Weevil retreated, screaming and howling in agony. His right hand, which had been gripping the long-handled sword, had completely vanished.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Zephyr and Sora. The simple bathrobe made it seem as if he had just gone out for a stroll and accidentally ended up here.

Kong's eyes widened in surprise at first, but he quickly recognized the familiar figure and exclaimed with a mixture of joy and delight.

"Father?!"

"Lieutenant General Yann?"

Zephyr was utterly surprised by this, completely baffled as to why Arn was there.

With his back to the sky, Arn took a deep breath, trying to suppress the terrifying expression on his face. He turned around, smiled and nodded at the sky, and carefully put Ying down from his arms.

"Ying, how are you feeling?" Yaen asked cautiously.

Still in a daze, Ying stared blankly at Yaen, blinking in surprise before slowly coming to her senses.

then……

With a "whoosh," Ying burst into tears, hugged Ya'en tightly, and said through sobs.

"Father... Father, sob sob, Ying almost thought she was going to die... I'll never see you again, Father, and I'll never be your lovely daughter again... sob sob..."

Ahn's face was filled with heartache and pity as he gently stroked Ying's head, comforting her. "It's alright, it's alright, Father's here. How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Waaaaah... I was so scared... I feel pain all over my body, waaaaah..." Ying sobbed.

Arn's pity deepened, but he still tried to get Ying to loosen her grip and checked her wounds.

Soon, when Ya'en saw the deep, bone-revealing wound on Ying's chest, his face twitched uncontrollably.

If Ying hadn't possessed an extraordinary physique, this attack would likely have killed a child of that age on the spot.

Seeing Yaen's expression, which was a mixture of anger and pity, Kong couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Father was only concerned about Ying, but Ying's wound looked frightening. However, the bleeding had stopped on its own and it would heal itself in a few days.
