Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky (Author: Chen Ting)

During the Marineford War, a sharp blade suddenly pierced through the chest of Fleet Admiral Sengoku from behind.

Amidst the utterly shocked gazes of countless marines and pirates, Vice Admiral Yann, the "naval hero" who was always lazy and gentle and called himself "Buddhist," withdrew his blade and his figure gradually floated up into the air.

"The eight-hundred-year history of the World Government throne being empty is about to end, and from now on I will stand in the heavens."

With an utterly calm expression, Yann looked down, silently declaring his presence.

'certainly……'

'From this day forward, all evil in the world will be in my hands!'

[1. Chapter One: Frail and Ill]

The Grand Line, Marineford.

A naval warship came to a stop in the harbor, and then a burly naval captain, who was over three meters tall, jumped off the warship.

"Boom!"

Just as he was about to crash into the harbor like a cannonball, the naval captain deftly stepped off the ground as if walking on flat ground, greatly reducing the momentum of his fall, and then landed lightly.

Strangely, the naval captain was holding a boy in his arms in a princess carry.

“Lord Yann, I’m sorry to send you to Marineford in this way,” the naval captain said cautiously.

With droopy eyelids and wearing crooked glasses, Yann spoke weakly, "Colonel Hope, put...put me down..."

“Yes, Lord Yarrow.” Colonel Hope bent his knees slightly and placed Yarrow on the ground.

Yern raised his hands and said to Colonel Hope, "Seastone handcuffs."

"Well... General Sengoku's orders are that the sea stone handcuffs cannot be removed until Lord Arn is taken to his office," Colonel Hope politely declined.

"This is Marineford, and we're surrounded by warships. I can't escape. Untie me," Yann said, seemingly without any strength.

"This..." Colonel Hope still looked troubled.

Seeing this, Yan sighed helplessly and said, "I don't want to see the old man in such a disheveled state. Untie it."

Hearing this, Colonel Hope was finally persuaded and took out a key from his pocket to unlock the sea stone handcuffs for Arne.

Clang.

As the sea stone handcuffs were removed, Yann immediately became radiant. After adjusting his black-rimmed glasses, he gently rubbed his wrists.

For Arn, the sea stone handcuffs were too tiring.

After all, pretending to be half-dead and powerless is exhausting and extremely demanding on acting skills; a single subconscious action could easily give it away.

Even though Colonel Hope didn't seem very bright, Yann remained extremely cautious and on edge the entire way.

'To ensure the old man of the Warring States period completely trusts me, I must leave him no openings. He certainly won't trust me.'

'Sigh, being an adopted son is really too difficult...'

As Yann muttered his frustration to himself, he turned his head and looked down at his bangs, which were being gently blown about by the sea breeze.

Yaen's bright eyes looked at the distant building that stood on the ground, resembling a castle tower with the word "Navy" written on its walls, exuding an air of majesty.

"Is this the Marine Headquarters?"

Yaen murmured a sentence.

Since transmigrating to this world ten years ago, he was unexpectedly rescued by Sengoku, who belonged to the Navy, while adrift at sea. He and Corazon were adopted as sons and placed outside Marineford. This is the first time that Yann has come to Marineford.

Colonel Hope, standing to the side, said with a tone full of pride.

"Lord Yann, that's right, this is Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, and the symbol of peace and justice on the sea."

Yaen waved his hand and said.

"Colonel Hope, I am just a commoner. Please don't call me 'sir,' as it may lead to misunderstandings."

"How can this be?"

Colonel Hope looked at him with disbelief and said...

"Lord Arne, as the son of a Sengoku Admiral, has devoted himself to the development of the Navy for many years, offering countless wise strategies, even neglecting his own training in the process. If he is not worthy of being called 'Lord,' then I, Hope..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Arne abruptly interrupted Colonel Hope's self-advice, saying helplessly.

"You can call me whatever you want, but my past deeds are all confidential, top secrets involving the old man, and absolutely cannot be revealed to anyone."

By the end, Yann's expression was extremely serious, as if this were a matter of life and death.

Colonel Hope stared wide-eyed, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and answered slowly and deliberately.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Yann. I will protect this secret with my life."

Yaen nodded slightly, then said nothing more, letting Colonel Hope lead the way to General Sengoku's office.

Along the way, Yann kept his head slightly lowered, trying to keep a distance from Colonel Hope, so that they would appear to be strangers who happened to be on the same route and not very familiar with each other.

but……

Out of the corner of his eye, Yann glanced at the uniform white naval uniforms around him, while he himself was dressed in black civilian clothes.

A drop of ink amidst the white waves!

'It's too conspicuous! It's all that idiot Hope's fault. He had that goofy grin on his face, then suddenly handcuffed me with seastone handcuffs, and before I could even speak or change clothes, he just carried me onto the warship.'

At that moment, Yan felt as if his whole body was about to split apart.

In Yann's life plan, he had no intention of exposing himself to the World Government until he had the absolute ability to protect himself.

Before he possessed the ability to face the combined attacks of the future "Three Admirals" Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji and escape unscathed, Aon only wanted to hide in Sengoku's shadow and live the life of a sickly second-generation military officer.

Unfortunately, despite his efforts over the years, Yann kept delaying Sengoku's request for him to join the Navy, trying to make Sengoku realize that he was nothing but a good-for-nothing who just wanted to live a life of idleness and complacency.

Unexpectedly, they ended up being defeated by Colonel Hope, a seemingly honest man with a simple smile. It was a case of carelessness leading to their downfall!

'Well, I'm already sixteen. Corazon's been sent to sea by the old man for so long; it's definitely time he couldn't resist dragging me to Marineford.'

Yaen shook his head, suppressing his excess emotions, and instead pondered what kind of emotions and attitude he should have when he saw the old man from the Warring States period again.

Be a little more arrogant? Kick his desk right in the middle, like a "filial son"?

Or should we be more respectful? Greet the old man politely and gently, like a dutiful son?

Forget it, I'll just pretend to be sick like I always have.

Anyway, I've been physically weak for more than a year or two, so if things don't look good, I just pretend to be seasick, seasick, or dizzy from milk.

"Dong dong!"

Colonel Hope led Arn around in a long, winding way, attracting the curious gazes of many sailors, before stopping in front of an office door. He carefully knocked on the door and called out loudly.

"Reporting to General Sengoku, Colonel Hope has been ordered to bring Lord Arne here."

"Let Yann in."

The majestic voice of the Warring States period rang out, instantly making Colonel Hope's expression incredibly passionate and excited, and he responded loudly.

"Yes."

Ya'en shook his head helplessly and went straight in.

As the office of a naval admiral, it was not luxurious, but rather quite simple in style. However, the man sitting behind the desk, wearing frog-shaped glasses and with a braided mustache, exuded immense authority.

Navy Admiral - Sengoku the Buddha!

[2. Chapter Two: Terfim Yarn]

"Tefimo Yaun!"

Sengoku rested his chin on his hands, staring at Arn with a serious and authoritative gaze, and asked.

"Are you ready to join the Navy and give your life for justice?"

Meeting Sengoku's gaze, Aon calmly closed the office door, creating some soundproofing to prevent Sengoku from losing face in front of Colonel Hope, and answered without hesitation.

"No."

Sengoku could no longer contain himself. He slammed his hand on the desk, shaking the documents, pens, teacups, and other items on it, and roared angrily.

"Damn it, no matter what, you have to join the Navy today."

Yann instantly looked startled, becoming somewhat timid and he said...

"Old man, are you sending me to my death? You know my body. My physical strength isn't even half that of Corazon, and I haven't mastered the Six Powers of the Navy. I'm really no good at fighting."

"The seawater is cold, the sea breeze is strong, and the pirates are so brutal. It doesn't matter if I sacrifice my limited life for the cause of boundless justice, but I'm afraid that you, old man, will be burying your child!"

“You pulled me out of the sea back then, and you raised me. I was thinking of taking care of you and seeing you off in your old age.”

Seeing this, Sengoku looked at Arn's tearful expression. Even though he knew it might be fake, he couldn't help but sigh. His serious eyes turned into a look of helplessness as he spoke.

"I know your body was damaged by the waves when you were young, and you are still weak after all these years of hard training. But a man can only become stronger step by step through trials, and an iron fist and physique can only break through the limits in blood and fire."

Yann pouted helplessly and said aggrievedly, "But old man, that's not my dream. You taught me that as a real man, I must pursue my dreams, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's forehead veins bulged, as if he had recalled something unbearable. He instantly went from helplessness to rage, cursing with exasperation.

"What kind of bullshit dream is that? You're just clamoring to find a wife who's better than you. Is that what you call a dream? Who gave you that idea? I'm going to kick him out of here."

Yann sighed deeply and said.

"Old man, there's nothing I can do about it. You know I've had a weak stomach since I was a child, and I can't eat much at each meal, which has made me frail and sickly."

"In this dangerous sea, my only hope is to have a strong wife by my side to protect me in the future. All I want is to survive in this sea, old man. Is that wrong?"

For a moment, Sengoku, enraged, was speechless.

Compared to Corazon, Yann had a poor appetite from a young age, often only eating a small bowl of rice or a "small" piece of meat before he could eat no more.

Therefore, Sengoku was worried that Aon might be suffering from a disease similar to "anorexia". Sengoku even took Aon to see various doctors, but the final conclusion was that Aon's constitution was different from that of ordinary people.

However, this "unusual" means: congenital physical weakness, insufficient bone density, incomplete development of the digestive system, and other problems.

In fact, Yan wanted to argue that he was actually a normal person who had just mistakenly entered this abnormal world.
