Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Hey, Sanji, don't do anything unnecessary. This is a battle between pirates, and we're just chefs at the 'Baratie' restaurant," Chef Zeff reminded Sanji.

Immediately, the other male chefs also began to speak up and offer their advice.

“Yes, Sanji, that’s the ‘Krieg Pirates’. At its peak, they had over 5000 members and a total of fifty ships. We can’t afford to mess with them.”

"Even if the Krieg Pirates fail in their attack on the Grand Line, they might recover quickly, and we might face retaliation afterward."

"Sanji, we men are fine with this, but you have to think about your sister..."

Sanji paused in his tracks when the chef uttered those words.

For Sanji, Reiju is the family member he cherishes most.

Instinctively, Sanji turned his head to look in Reiju's direction. Reiju, who was gracefully leaning against the railing, habitually tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, then gave Sanji a gentle smile and said...

"Sanji, just do what you want to do. Your sister hasn't fallen to the point where she needs your protection yet."

Sanji's expression faltered slightly, then he pursed his lips and said, "Tsk, I don't care about you."

Reiju smiled faintly, not exposing Sanji's lie, and instead said...

"But before you make a move, you need to understand the real consequences. If we are put on a bounty, it means that man will know that we are still alive, which means that the East China Sea is no longer safe for us."

"Tsk, I already know this even without you telling me..."

Sanji hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"It's only because I saved Gin that the Krieg Pirates were led here. How can I pretend nothing happened? I'm sorry, Reiju..."

The next moment, Sanji stepped on the railing and leaped out, displaying his somewhat immature kicking skills, joining Luffy's battle.

As Sanji joined the battle, the other chefs, while expressing their dissatisfaction, spoke words that revealed their concern for him.

"That bastard Sanji, he only has eyes for his sister..."

"Never mind, Chef Zeff, I can't stand it either."

"Let's take action too, let them know the chef's anger. How can we allow these pirates to bully our guests?"

"That's right, even that brat Sanji has made a move. We seniors are going to be looked down upon."

Faced with the chefs' request to take on the challenge, Zeff snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and turned to walk into the restaurant.

"Do whatever you want. Anyway, with the Krieg Pirates causing trouble today, Baratie will have to close for the day!"

Immediately, with Zeff's tacit approval, these burly chefs picked up various cooking utensils and joined the battle.

Witnessing this scene, Yann couldn't help but chuckle, revealing a knowing smile.

"What an awkward yet adorable bunch of guys..."

As the chefs joined the battle, many of the Krieg Pirates' henchmen were quickly defeated, leaving only the duel between Krieg and Luffy, and Gin and Sanji.

"Dong dong!"

Just then, there was a careful knock on Yan's door.

"Come in, Nami."

The next moment, the door was opened, and Nami, who had secretly slipped away from the battlefield, quickly slipped into the room and then hurriedly closed the door again.

Seeing this, Yann said with some helplessness.

"Nami, stop acting so sneaky. You're not here to steal anything."

"what……"

Nami gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

Yaon shook his head helplessly, then took out a sea chart from his pocket and handed it to Nami.

Nami opened the nautical chart and glanced at it. It depicted an unfamiliar sea area that Nami had never heard of before. The ocean currents, climate, and shipping routes were all vastly different from Nami's previous common knowledge.

After a long pause, Nami finally looked up and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a partial sea chart of the first half of the Grand Line. The route shown is the route the Straw Hat Pirates will take after entering the Grand Line."

As he spoke, Yann handed Nami a Log Pose for the Grand Line.

[Chapter 714. The Enraged Yaen]

"This...this is the Grand Line chart? It's completely different from the East Blue..." Nami said in shock.

"Of course it's different. Compared to the turbulent climate and environment of the Grand Line, the climate and environment of the East China Sea are as comfortable as a calm lake."

After a pause, Yann continued, "You just need to secretly guide Luffy along this route."

Upon hearing this, Nami couldn't help but ask, "Is this the safest route?"

Yann smiled but remained silent, offering no answer to Nami's question.

In terms of safety, the route Luffy takes along, continuing his original path through the "Alabasta Kingdom"—"Skypiea," is undoubtedly the safest.

After all, the Kingdom of Alabasta and "Sky Island" are now practically major bases for the Revolutionary Army.

But for Luffy, Sora, and Sakura, what difference would that make from the prince going undercover to inspect his own territory?

That would completely negate the meaning of sailing and adventure, let alone allow the Straw Hat Pirates to grow up quickly and reach the final island, Laugh Tale.

"Oh, right..."

Yann tapped the table lightly and said, "After the conflict in Baratie is over, Nami, you should take your companions back to Cocoyasi Village."

Nami paused, then looked up abruptly, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight. "Did...did that guy Tiger take care of Arlong?"

Immediately, Yann couldn't help but smile wryly, realizing that for Nami, Arlong had almost become an invincible nightmare. Otherwise, how could she have witnessed the incredibly exaggerated battle between Mihawk and Luminous, yet still dared not rely on her companions to take down Arlong?

Then, Yann shook his head and said, "You'll know once you go..."

However, Nami didn't want anything to go wrong with Cocoyasi Village, and just as she was about to ask more questions, a roar clearly came from outside the window.

"You brat, why are you still standing up? Lie down properly!"

"You brat don't understand that woman's value at all. Only after I marry that kind of woman will I be able to truly become a powerful ruler and fully realize her value, instead of playing this ridiculous pirate game with you, you little brat."

"I am the 'Eastern Sea Admiral' Krick, you little brat, go to hell!"

After a series of clashes, Krieg, unable to defeat Luffy and gradually being suppressed, roared out his innermost thoughts in a fit of rage.

In an instant, the cup in Yann's hand was crushed, and an invisible terror emanated from it, causing Nami's hair to stand on end and her pupils to inexplicably shrink.

The next instant, the terrifying feeling emanating from Yann vanished, even making Nami wonder if it was just her imagination.

Immediately, Yann stood up without saying a word, took out a stack of Berries from his pocket and left them in the room, then vanished from the spot in an instant.

Where...where is everyone?

Nami blinked in confusion, then quickly ran to the window and looked towards the battlefield, but still couldn't find Yann.

Subsequently, even after Sanji successfully defeated Gin, and Luffy, at the limit of his physical strength, grasped a trace of Armament Haki and broke through Krieg's solid golden armor, achieving the final victory in this battle, Yann still did not appear.

However, after Gin's tearful plea, the soft-hearted Sanji and Luffy allowed Gin to leave with Krieg.

Finally, urged on by Nami, who was secretly anxious, the "Merry" quickly set sail again.

Knowing that staying at the Baratie might bring Zeff and the other chefs Sanji and Reiju, Luffy invited them to join the crew as "chef" and "musician" respectively, thus embarking on a new journey.

……

Meanwhile, Akin, who had struggled to carry Creek away from the "floating restaurant" Baratie in his small fishing boat, was busy paddling while trying to recall the locations of nearby islands so he could treat the seriously injured Creek as soon as possible.

But just then, when Ah Jin looked up, he suddenly noticed that there was a person standing on the sea not far away.

Faced with this illogical situation, Ajin hesitated only for a moment before quickly rowing backward.

However, the next moment, large swathes of ice suddenly spread from the distant sea, instantly freezing the small fishing boat completely on the surface of the sea.

“Wh...what?!” Akin was stunned.

The next instant, before Akin could react, he was suddenly kicked off the boat.

"boom!"

Akin coughed up a mouthful of blood as he crashed heavily onto the ice. He felt as if his internal organs had been shattered, but he could still make out the person standing in front of him. It was the masked man who had appeared at the "Sea Restaurant" Barati before.

"What...what do you want to do?!" Akin said with difficulty.

Arne, seemingly ignoring Akin, picked up Creek, who was lying in the small fishing boat, having regained consciousness but unable to move.

"Someone like you think you can force me to marry my daughter?" Yann's calm, chilling voice rang out.

Instantly, Crick's pupils contracted, realizing the gravity of the situation. "I...I'm sorry, I have Bailey, and I've hidden a lot of treasure. I can pay up."

The next moment, Yann threw Creek to the ground.

Crick, caught in a strange illusion, harbored a bold thought: 'If this man is greedy, then…'

Immediately, a hint of barely suppressed elation appeared on Creek's face as he said, "If you're willing, I'm also willing to offer an additional ten billion, no, fifty billion Berries as a dowry for your daughter."

"Fifty billion Berries?" Yann's calm voice rang out.

"That's right!"

Creek quickly replied, "Although I can't raise the money right now, if you give me a little time, I can raise it quickly after slaughtering a few wealthy towns."

At this moment, Yann was so angry that he laughed, and even couldn't help but take off his mask.

But when that mature and handsome face appeared in front of Creek and Arkin, Creek and Arkin were completely stunned, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

"Te...Tefimo Yarn!?"

As a true naval hero renowned throughout the seas, even though Arn has kept a low profile in recent years, his outstanding appearance has become known to everyone as the world has heard of his numerous world-shaking feats.

[Chapter 715. There are so many good people!]

"you you……"

"No, it's impossible..."

Whether it was the self-proclaimed "East Sea Admiral" Creek, who considered himself a local overlord, or the fierce and brave "Demon Man" Akin, they were so shocked that they could hardly speak properly.

Why...why is the legendary "Naval Hero" Tefimer Yann here?

Shocked, Creek felt an indescribable fear, and his limbs went weak as he instinctively crawled away from Yann.

As for the idea of ​​using money to win over Yann, even Krick knew that was a complete joke.

This man, besides holding a pivotal position in the Navy, is also the husband of the Kuja Empress. No matter how you look at it, he would never lack Berries!
