Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Was Father ambushed or murdered?

Was it that Father hoped to change something, tried to create a completely new era, and then failed and died?

As for the murderer, the message conveyed in Father's words was nothing less than a plea for them to leave Marineford as soon as possible.

So... is the enemy the Navy? Or perhaps the World Government?!

Kong's eyes were bloodshot, and an unprecedented sadness and anger filled his heart. He even vaguely felt that the whole world was leaving him, and Ying's crying seemed to become faint.

"No... calm down, calm down..."

Kong bit his tongue hard, breathing heavily as he tried to calm himself down, and began to mutter rapidly.

"My father said that all anger is merely impotent rage, and one must always maintain relative calm in order to turn anger into power!"

Immediately, while pulling Ying along the underground passage, Kong kept analyzing the information revealed by Yan in his mind.

First, is the footage fake? Was the underground passage not built by Father?

Moreover, some of the things my father said seemed to conflict with the current situation to some extent.

However, one thing seems to be certain: the Navy and the World Government... cannot be trusted for the time being, and must be kept at a distance.

With Sora's mind still in turmoil, Sora and Hotaru quickly arrived at the end of the underground passage.

"This is……"

Sora stared wide-eyed at the sight before her, and even Ying was momentarily distracted by what she saw, forgetting her tears.

……

Meanwhile, Aon, who was used to always having a worst-case scenario in mind, was completely unaware that Fleet Admiral Sengoku would be unable to keep his disappearance a secret, and that the news would even reach Sora and Kei at the Naval Academy, allowing Sora to activate the escape plan he had prepared for them ahead of time.

That escape plan was prepared by Arn under the extremely dire circumstances of accidentally exposing his identity and even being surrounded and killed, in order to avoid the World Government purging Arn's bloodline and putting Sora and Luminosity in mortal danger.

"Hey, I said, Yann, come help me, go move that big rock..."

Yamato, whose image and temperament had gradually become completely suited to the role of the leader, was constantly directing the "Beast Warriors" composed of the remnants of the "Beast Pirates" to clear the ruins of "Onigashima" when he noticed Aon, who was looking up at the sky with a depressed expression.

Following the direction Yamato pointed, Yann was shocked to find half of a mountain peak collapsed on the ground.

Ya'en's lips twitched slightly. He picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and then calmly replied, "I can't move it."

"Didn't you say you were one of the strongest warriors in the ocean? You can't even move a single rock?" Yamato immediately questioned again.

“My strength is not reflected in this aspect,” Yann replied.

"Tsk, if it's not reflected in this aspect, what other aspect could it be?"

Yamato said disdainfully, then shouted at Jack, "Jack, move that rock."

"Yes, boss."

Jack responded somewhat awkwardly, then suddenly exerted his strength and lifted the small section of the hilltop by himself, walking step by step towards the sea.

To this, Yann's expression remained unmoved, meeting Yamato's gaze without the slightest change, and he said, "People cannot be compared like this; physical strength does not represent everything."

"For example?" Yamato retorted, unconvinced.

Yarn took another sip of hot tea and replied, "Jack will never be able to touch his own back."

In an instant, many pirates who heard this sentence cast angry glares at Yann, but quickly looked away.

Yamato frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "Is it that difficult?"

Immediately, Yamato reversed his hands, straightened his chest, and reached straight for his back.

Standing to Yamato's side, Aon's gaze inadvertently swept over them, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'Such a voluptuous figure, even bandages can't contain it…'

Immediately, Yann's expression turned serious, and he gave a reminder.

"Yamato, stop playing around and quickly clear out the ruins. Find the treasure and weapons left behind by the Beasts Pirates. We can't stay on Onigashima any longer."

"Don't forget, there's a possibility that the Revolutionary Army might turn back, and then the entire 'Demon Island' will become our graveyard."

Upon hearing this, Yamato nodded and decided to join the cleanup effort himself.

After all, for Yamato, the "Beast Warriors" who seemed to have been formed on a whim, they did have members.

However, they had not prepared any weapons, supplies, or operating funds, so the only option was to search for anything left behind by the "Beasts Pirates".

Yan took another sip of hot tea to warm himself up, and then looked towards the main island of Wano Country.

The war in Wano Country must have already begun, right?

……

Meanwhile, a war breaks out in Udon, located between the Kuri region of Wano Country and the Flower Capital region, where the Navy in white uniforms and the Revolutionary Army in gray cloaks are engaged in fierce fighting.

However, unlike the war between the Navy and pirates, the war between the Navy and the Revolutionary Army, as a regular army, is by no means a war of pure bloodlust.

"Bang bang bang..."

In the Udon region, which is mainly characterized by wasteland, the Navy experienced a rare feeling of being suppressed by firepower, as a large number of Revolutionary Army members unleashed their firepower from various pre-prepared positions.

Even if a naval officer or captain occasionally attempts to break through the position with his personal bravery, he will be attacked by specially made sea stone bullets and blocked by the revolutionary army's combat power.

[Chapter 546. A Completely Different Tactical System]

"Revolutionary Army..."

In the command post built on a hilltop, Lieutenant General Tsuru observed the battlefield from afar, his expression gradually becoming serious.

If you ignore their clothing, Vice Admiral Tsuru might even think that the other side is the navy, while his own side is just a bunch of ragtag soldiers.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's insight was undeniably sharp; in just half a day of fighting, she had discerned the problem.

Unlike the navy, where each admiral led his own troops in an attack, the revolutionary army formed a defensive line consisting of three to five people working together as a team, with two teams forming a group that subtly formed a defensive triangle. The three groups were stationed on one position.

These groups, like stars with hidden patterns, dotted the revolutionary army's defensive lines, forming a vast, interconnected network of firepower that blocked the navy's offensive.

"What kind of tactic is this?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru inexplicably felt tactically outmatched and said incredulously, "That guy Dragon has actually grown to this level, capable of setting up a defensive line like this?"

Lost in thought, General Crane suddenly felt a sense of dread.

In a battlefield with only a thousand or so soldiers, the advantages that the defensive lines set up by the revolutionary army could demonstrate were not actually very significant.

But what if it's a battlefield with tens of thousands of players?

Lieutenant General Tsuru had a premonition that if the battlefield were expanded to more than 10,000 people, the situation might result in a crushing defeat.

"Sister Tsuru, what's wrong?" Gion, who was guarding the command post, was a little surprised to notice the change in the usually calm Lieutenant General Tsuru's expression.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Tsuru finally snapped out of his daze, put down his binoculars, and spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, the revolutionaries are now displaying an exceptionally advanced tactical system."

"Tactical system?" Gion asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a frown, "Unlike the traditional philosophy that emphasizes individual bravery, it seems to pursue a more team-oriented tactical system."

Lieutenant General Kake, standing to the side, dismissively remarked, "Doesn't this just show that the Revolutionary Army's individual strength is relatively weak?"

"No, it's not that simple..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a hint of worry on his face.

"At present, or on the surface, it only gives the impression that these revolutionary soldiers cooperate well with each other. But in large-scale battles, as long as the top combat power is not overwhelmingly superior, the power that this tactical system can unleash when fully utilized could be quite terrifying."

"The World Government and Sengoku's concerns are not wrong. The Revolutionary Army does indeed possess the ability to endanger the world. We cannot allow them to occupy Wano Country."

At this point, Lieutenant General Tsuru's attitude became unprecedentedly firm, and he said, "Stop making unnecessary probes and immediately try to break through the Revolutionary Army's defenses with all our might."

As Vice Admiral Tsuru continued to issue various orders, six vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters, including Admiral Borsalino, almost simultaneously took action, attempting to forcibly tear apart the Revolutionary Army's defenses.

Almost instantly, Borsalino appeared in the sky above the Revolutionary Army as a yellow flash, his lips slightly pursed.

"Feel the weight of light."

The next moment, Borsalino's hands, crossed in front of his chest, flashed with dazzling light, a prelude to his massive area-of-effect attack, "Yasakani no Magatama".

However, just as the Revolutionary Army's position was about to be bombarded by countless terrifying light bullets, a terrifying pressure suddenly pressed down on Borsalino, causing him to momentarily feel as if he were carrying a mountain range on his back, and he fell madly toward the ground.

"Elementalization!"

The next instant, Borsalino's body dissipated into countless photons, escaping the terrifying gravity. As he returned to human form, his gaze shifted to a blind middle-aged man standing in the Revolutionary Army's position.

"Where did this monster come from..." Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses, his expression twitching slightly as he spoke.

Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the ground beneath Yixiao's feet, carrying him upwards into the sky above Borsalino. He spoke calmly.

"As a naval admiral, isn't it a bit excessive for you to directly attack these young people? If you don't mind, I, Xiao, am willing to try my best to be your opponent."

Before Borsalino could even respond, Yixiao swung his staff-sword, unleashing a purple flying slash that crashed down towards Borsalino.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're really talking to yourself!"

Borsalino said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, and instantly conjured the "Kusanagi Sword" composed of a large number of photons in his hand to block the attack.

"boom!"

"Good weight!"

When Borsalino came into contact with that purple flying slash, this feeling subconsciously arose in his mind.

That seemingly invisible flying slash actually contained the weight of several naval warships.

Almost instantly, Borsalino, who had misjudged the situation, was pushed hundreds of meters away, leaving the airspace above the Revolutionary Army's defensive line.

"This is... the Float-Float Fruit? No, this should be the power of the 'Gravity-Gravity Fruit'."

Borsalino's mind raced, and he quickly assessed the abilities of the blind middle-aged man before him, immediately realizing that he was in a difficult situation.

This is a powerful Devil Fruit with a completely opposite nature to the "Float-Float Fruit" eaten by Shiki the Golden Lion. The Float-Float Fruit's ability is to allow objects to completely escape the influence of gravity and float under the control of the user.

The "Fat Fruit" allows one to control the strength and direction of gravity at will, and can even manipulate the gravity of a certain area directly out of thin air without relying on any object.

Borsalino flashed his "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" and with a bang, sent the purple flying slash flying upwards. At the same time, he said something with a slightly solemn expression.

"Tsk, monster..."

However, before Borsalino could finish speaking, a figure approached Borsalino with a smile, stepping on a small patch of dirt, the staff-sword in its hand seemingly imbued with terrifying gravity.

The next moment, as Borsalino's tightly closed eyes revealed a little white, the staff-sword in his hand was pulled towards Borsalino in an iaido motion.

"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"
