Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Instantly, Lucci's expression turned even more grim, and some feline features vaguely appeared on his face. Clearly, he could no longer suppress his killing intent and fighting spirit and was preparing to activate his Devil Fruit ability.

However, despite his casual appearance, Jiaji was actually incredibly arrogant, and he made a very direct assessment of Lucci, who seemed about to get angry.

"Oh, so it's still a kitten?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was on the verge of exploding, Yann coughed twice to stop them.

"That's enough. Don't forget where you are."

Lucci took a deep breath, glanced at Yaen, and like a proud cat, turned and left without saying a word in the direction of the port.

"This guy..."

Seeing Lucci's performance, Gaki became somewhat dissatisfied and couldn't help but want to draw his gun.

Yann patted Jiaji on the shoulder and said, "Alright, let him go. Treating cats roughly won't work."

[Chapter 192: The Youngest Rear Admiral in Naval History]

"Brother, I'm just a little indignant that such a nobody dared to provoke you in Marineford. They really don't take our navy seriously," Kaji said with dissatisfaction.

"He's no small fry; on the contrary, his future potential is quite high," Yann said briefly, commenting on Lucci.

Although CP9 is only one of the subordinate agencies of CP0 and cannot be compared with the powerful CP0, Lucci is already known as the strongest member of CP9 in eight hundred years at such a young age, which shows his extraordinary talent.

It's safe to say that as long as Lucci continues to grow normally, it's almost a certainty that Lucci, who can be considered "pure and upright" in some respects, will be promoted to a CP0 member.

And this is precisely why Yann values ​​Lucci so much.

After all, the last time Yann was able to survive the persecution of Saint Musgarud and the brute Tiger, the heroic sacrifice of CP0 member Bashke was indispensable.

Unfortunately, to avoid any accidents, that guy, Buck, sacrificed himself.

However, during that incident, Yann also fully realized the immense benefits of planting spies within the CP0 organization.

However, as a direct agency of the Celestial Dragons, CP0 is known as the "strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons." In addition to the outstanding strength of each individual, almost every one of them is absolutely loyal to the Celestial Dragons and regards them as true gods.

Furthermore, the CP0 organization has an extremely rigorous selection and training system to ensure the purity and loyalty of its members.

In this situation, the authorities have virtually no chance of planting spies or agents.

Lucci was the only exception. In the original timeline, he was the most outstanding and promising member of CP9, a subordinate organization of CP0, in the past eight hundred years, but he was ultimately exceptionally recruited into CP0.

Lucci even joined the CP0 organization as a squad leader, bringing his original CP9 subordinates with him and forming an independent CP0 squad.

That's why Yann couldn't help but have the idea of ​​taming this proud cat.

Of course, Jiaji was completely unaware of Arn's thoughts, and he naturally responded to Arn's high praise of Lucci.

"Hmph, no matter how strong his potential is, he will never be a match for Big Brother."

Listening to Jia Ji's clumsy flattery, Yann didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only laugh it off.

Then, as if remembering something, Jiaji said with admiration and envy.

"By the way, big brother, I heard that you have been confirmed to be promoted to rear admiral. In that case, you will be the youngest rear admiral in the entire history of the navy."

"Is that so?" Yann asked incredulously, his eyes wide.

"Yes, this news has spread throughout Marineford. Congratulations, brother," Jiaji said with envy.

Upon hearing this, Yann felt like punching someone.

Every day, Yann was thinking about how to make himself less conspicuous within the Navy so as to avoid being closely watched by the World Government.

Originally, it was already hard for Yann to accept being promoted to rear admiral all at once, but he never expected that he would become the youngest rear admiral in naval history.

Suddenly, Yann realized why Rob Lucci, the strongest and most ruthless killing machine in CP9 history, had intercepted him halfway.

Perhaps... the little cat that was about to go on a mission with him thought he would be his rival.

Or perhaps, as the most outstanding newcomer in the CP9 organization, that little cat subconsciously developed a competitive spirit towards Yann, who was known as the youngest rear admiral in naval history.

So this is the downside of becoming famous too early. You will subconsciously attract other people's attention, which makes Yan Yu, who wants to hide in the shadows and slowly develop and reap the benefits, feel uncomfortable.

As soon as the thought crossed Ya'en's mind, a hint of annoyance appeared on his face as he asked, "Jiaji, who exactly gave me this derogatory title?"

"what??"

Not only was Kaji stunned, but even Gion, who was quietly watching Aon from the side, was somewhat confused about Aon's meaning.

The title of "youngest rear admiral in naval history" is an honor that many naval officers dream of.

How many rear admirals are there in the navy? There are at least three to five hundred, if not a thousand, in the entire navy, but how many navy personnel actually know the specific names of those rear admirals?

No!

However, with the title of "the youngest rear admiral in naval history, Sakura Ryu Arn" being uttered, Arn's name resounded throughout the ears of all the marines in Marineford in an extremely short time.

This is undoubtedly a reputation that symbolizes honor, so how did it become a title of contempt in Yann's mouth?

"Does that mean my only merit is my youth?"

"As a member of the Navy, is it an insult to be remembered only for being young? Or is youth something to be proud of?" Yann said righteously.

Immediately, both Kaji and Gion were stumped by Arn's question.

Upon closer examination, this is undoubtedly an indisputable fact!

As a young naval officer dedicated to maintaining peace on the seas, he risked his life to fight and earn merit, only to be remembered in the end for his youth.

Calling this an insult, or even a slander, is certainly not an exaggeration!

Having thoroughly figured out how to distance himself from the glaring title of "youngest rear admiral in naval history," Yann then revealed a look of grief and helplessness on his face as he spoke.

"What the navy should remember are its scars, its strength, and its sacrifices, not its youth. If this kind of mentality continues in the navy, will it continue to promote the so-called youth in the future?"

"If this continues, those warriors and heroes who truly fought and bled for the justice of the sea will be forgotten, while those young, handsome, and unambitious people will be admired and respected."

"By then, true warriors and heroes will have faded away, and who will uphold justice on the sea? Will it be upheld by those young, good-looking but shallow people?"

"so……"

Yaen took a deep breath and said to Jiaji.

"This trend must not be allowed to continue. We must completely suppress it while it is still in its infancy. Those titles such as 'youngest major general in history' must be eliminated!"

"The true heroes that the Navy should admire are the three admirals who, through their own strength, have suppressed countless sea areas and maintained peace at sea."

"The hero we should praise is Vice Admiral Garp, who wiped out countless pirates with his iron fists and personally captured the Pirate King, the strongest marine."

"The heroes that should be praised are the marshals of the Warring States period, who devoted themselves to their work, worked diligently day after day without rest, and never relaxed for a single day."

[Chapter 193 The Hands-Off Manager]

Shocked!

What a shocking statement!!!

At that moment, Jiaji's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Yann!

What a profound realm this is, what brilliant thoughts this is, and what a broad mind this is.

Jiaji was once again deeply impressed by Yann, completely captivated from head to toe, inside and out, from soul to body.

Regardless of glory or fame, in Brother Yan's eyes, there is only the development of the entire navy and how to maintain justice on the sea.

How could anyone not admire and worship a man like this, who has the world in his heart and whose eyes are always on the future?

romantic!

At this moment, Jiaji even felt that being able to follow Brother Yan was the most romantic thing in his life.

Tears welled up in Jiaji's eyes involuntarily.

Even Gion was shocked and captivated by Aon's words.

As the adopted sister of Vice Admiral Tsuru, a high-ranking naval officer, Gion has a certain understanding of the personalities and thoughts of the naval leaders.

But just the fact that Yann was willing to sacrifice his own reputation to prevent bad practices from emerging in the navy already puts him ahead of 99% of the navy.

Keep the greater good in mind and set aside personal desires!

At this moment, Gion's eyes flickered slightly, her pupils reflecting Aon's image with perfect clarity, and nothing else could be seen in them.

Just as Gion was about to say something, Kake, with tears in his eyes, spoke first.

"Big...Big brother, I understand..."

"I assure you, brother, that I will do my best to convey your ideas and stop this bad trend in time."

Hearing Jiaji's assurance, which seemed to have the potential to be a "naval megaphone," Yann was secretly pleased, but waved his hand modestly and said.

"There's no such thing as thought or not; it's just expressing some personal opinions. If you think it's correct, then just tell others so that this meaningless title doesn't continue to circulate."

"Yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Jiaji wiped away his tears forcefully, gave Ya'en a military salute, and hurriedly left.

"call……"

Watching Kaji's disappearing figure, Aon breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Gion.

"What were you trying to say just now?"

Looking at Aon before her, Gion, who always appeared rather aloof in front of outsiders, revealed a gentle smile and said.

"Ah, I wanted to invite my superior officer aboard."

"So urgent? Have all the supplies needed for the voyage been prepared? And have the soldiers been assembled?" Yann asked.

"Yes, these preparations began yesterday, and we are now fully prepared to set sail," Gion nodded in reply.

Arne, who had originally intended to stay in Marineford for a couple more days, suddenly found himself unable to find any other reason and had no choice but to agree.

"Okay then..."

As Arn and Gion arrived at the port of Marineford, Arn was quite surprised to find that the Navy Headquarters had prepared a warship, which resembled a steel behemoth, for him to ride in.

Generally speaking, only high-ranking officers at the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters use warships as their flagships.

Yann frowned, shook his head with a heavy expression, and said sadly.

"Marshal Zhan Guo is abusing his power for personal gain, which is against the rules. This is unacceptable. I must stop Marshal Zhan Guo from doing this wrong thing."

After a pause, Yann spoke without hesitation.

"Don't set sail yet. I need to report Fleet Admiral Sengoku to the World Government first. After we get a warship that is more suitable for a Rear Admiral, we'll study the sailing plan again."
