Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"So you all heard what Violet said, right? Then let's proceed according to plan."

"Yes, young master!"

As Don Quixote's officers finished speaking, Deringer, a half-fish merfolk, was the first to leap into the sea, speeding towards the warship from beneath the surface.

"Navy, let us show you the power of the Don Quixote family."

Completely unaware of the inside story, Deringer's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit as he quickly arrived beneath the warship.

then……

Underwater, Deringer moved like a real giant fish, making a nimble turn to gather strength before suddenly plunging his two horns toward the warship.

[Chapter 197. One-Sword Style: The Ultimate Hibi Slash]

"boom!"

The warship, which was slowly approaching the port of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, suddenly trembled as if it had been hit hard by something.

"Report: There is damage to the hull. The access doors to the affected area have been opened..."

Within moments, elite naval soldiers reported the damage and had already taken action.

There's something underwater!

Gion frowned, immediately sensing the predicament.

After all, the combat power deployed on this warship was not capable of dealing with underwater attacks.

Generally speaking, warships like these steel behemoths are difficult for even ordinary sea kings to damage; they only become capsized when facing super-large sea kings.

However, the unknown attack from underwater was so powerful that it easily pierced the steel hull of the ship.

"The fish-men?"

Gion quickly guessed what the enemy was likely to be.

This is also the most troublesome aspect for the fish-men. When they are in the ocean, their combat power is multiplied, while most human powerhouses lose one-tenth of their strength once they enter the ocean.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Before Gion could figure out a solution, a series of booming sounds continued to echo from the seabed, and damage appeared in one section of the ship's hull as seawater began to pour in.

"Major General Yann, what should we do? This must be the Don Quixote family judging us as enemies and preventing us from approaching the port."

At this moment of great decision, Gion asked Aon a question.

"If we turn back now, the Don Quixote family's attack shouldn't continue relentlessly on the warships..."

Before Gion could finish speaking, Aon interrupted her, saying, "Speed ​​up."

Upon hearing this, Gion warned, "Major Admiral Yann, accelerating your advance could escalate the attack and, over time, cause serious damage to the warship."

Gion's implication was that if they forced their way to the port of Dressrosa and then failed to reach an agreement with the Donquixote Family, this single naval warship might not be able to support their retreat.

If they are besieged in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, they will likely face either death or capture.

Despite Gion's reminder and the Five Elders' eavesdropping, Aon firmly stated his position without the slightest hesitation.

"We are the Navy, and the justice we bear cannot allow us to retreat. Not to mention that we are carrying out the mission of the Five Elders. At such a critical juncture, we cannot afford to back down!"

"Forward! Destination: The Kingdom of Dressrosa!"

Yarne's tone was incredibly firm, like a rock on the constantly shaking warship, stabilizing the morale of all the naval soldiers.

At this moment, although the cloak behind Yann bore the words "Buddhist-like" in large characters, many naval officers and soldiers on the deck, who were on high alert, vaguely saw the word "justice" hidden beneath the word "Buddhist-like".

Even the Five Elders, who are currently in power in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, couldn't help but nod slightly when they heard Yann's seemingly heartfelt and fearless words.

"Is this child the adopted son of the Warring States Marshal?"

"Such awareness is truly rare in the navy."

"Hmm, it's actually pretty good!"

……

Ya'en naturally couldn't hear the Five Elders' discussion and evaluation.

At this moment, Yann stood firmly at the very front of the warship. His not-so-robust figure was like a firing pin braving the wind and waves, guiding the warship's direction.

"Ignore the attacks from the bottom of the ship, full speed ahead!"

In an instant, this steel behemoth, which had been moving somewhat sluggishly, suddenly burst into action, the roar of steel growing louder as it sped toward the port of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the continuous sounds of impact and vibration, the damage on the lower part of the warship gradually increased, but the distance between the warship and the port was also rapidly closing, to the point where the naval soldiers could even see the faces of the people standing on the port with the naked eye.

"Don't even think about it, Navy!"

Just then, a high-pitched, woman-like voice suddenly rang out, and the rocky hill in a corner of the port of Dressrosa shook violently.

Pica, the former top executive of the Donquixote Family, has made his move. As a user of the "Rock-Rock Fruit," he can easily assimilate and manipulate large amounts of rocks for various modifications and attacks.

Instantly, a colossal giant made of rock formed, and a hand as large as the warship slammed down towards it.

"What is this?! It's terrifying!"

"Attack, attack..."

"Don't let that hand get close, or the warship might sink on the spot."

Faced with an attack powerful enough to destroy a warship on the spot, many elite marines almost instinctively launched an attack on the rocky hand.

However, with the strength of ordinary naval soldiers, they had no way to destroy the rocky hand and could only watch helplessly as it enveloped them.

At this moment, Gion could no longer hold back and made her move, leaping into the air with "Naval Six Styles: Moon Walk"!

Just as Gion was rapidly closing the distance between herself and the rocky hand, the "Famous Sword - Kinpira" flashed out from her waist, unleashing a dazzling flying slash that hurtled straight toward the rocky hand.

"One-Sword Style: Bi-character Extreme Slash!"

"boom!"

The two collided with a deafening roar!

Countless pebbles flew everywhere, almost like raindrops, covering the entire area.

However, just as the sailors on the warship were feeling their morale soaring, a massive body crashed down on Gion like a cannonball.

"Boom boom, 100-ton Bais!"

"boom!"

Under the immense impact of Machvise's "Ton-Pound Fruit" power, which weighs up to a hundred tons, Gion's figure appeared particularly petite, as if she were a rabbit that had been hit by a meteorite in mid-air.

In an instant, to Arn's astonishment, Gion was sent flying like a cannonball, arcing through the air as she crashed down toward the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

???

Ya'en.

Has Corazon gone mad?

Why attack Gion like this? Didn't he meet Gion on Swallow Island and know about her relationship with me?

Immediately, Yann's expression twitched slightly as he stared blankly at Corazon, who stood majestically at the highest point of the port.

Corazon, admiring his younger brother's convincing acting skills as he watched Yann's incredibly realistic reaction, also gave a subtle wink in response.

What?

What does it mean?

Noticing Corazon's cryptic expression, Yann's thoughts became jumbled as he tried to recall whether this scene was part of his plan.

[Chapter 198. The Six-Style Profound Technique: The Six Kings Spear]

What happened next was even more outrageous. The enormous rock giant, as large as a mountain, did not attack the warship, but turned around and slammed it towards Gion, who had just landed.

Fortunately, Gion was in excellent physical condition and had used her "Famous Sword Kinpira" to withstand a significant amount of the impact from Mahabez's attack.

This allowed Gion to quickly regain control of her body after crashing heavily to the ground. With a sudden leap, she narrowly avoided the exaggerated slap of the rock.

In addition, Machbais, the user of the "Ton-Pound Fruit," also turned around and activated his fruit ability again to rapidly increase his weight, making him crash towards Gion like a human meteor.

This relentless barrage of attacks left Gion in a sorry state and completely bewildered, leaving Aon utterly bewildered.

Even if I occasionally mocked Corazon for being single, does that warrant this kind of retaliation?

And if you want to take revenge on me, fine, but why do you have to chase after Gion to fight me?

However, thanks to Gion's delay, the warships were able to dock smoothly in the port during this period.

To Arn's dismay, Gion was originally supposed to be in charge of commanding the naval personnel, and Arn wouldn't need to worry about it at all. Now, however, Arn had to personally command the naval personnel to land and set up defenses.

"thump!"

"G!"

Just then, a clear sound of water flowing out and a strange, powerful voice rang out at the same time.

"Corner ram!"

"Lower back pain type - sudden dryness of the eyes!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Dellinger and Rao G appeared simultaneously in front of and behind Rob Lucci, launching a powerful attack on him.

Rob Lucci, who hadn't yet mastered Observation Haki at that age, had no time to dodge. Faced with an attack that detonated the air with just the aftershocks, he could only instinctively defend himself.

"Naval Type 6: Iron Body!"

"boom!"

As the sounds of Deringer and Rao G slamming into Rob Lucci rang out, Yann vaguely seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering.

Clearly, Rob Lucci, this little kitten, is suffering harm that no one his age should have to endure.

Rob Lucci's once-proud defense, "Naval Six Styles: Iron Body," was almost instantly shattered, and mouthfuls of blood gushed from his mouth.

"Oh!"

As Rao G withdrew his fist and Dellinger pulled back his horn, Rob Lucci's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Hehehe..."

Corazon's laughter rang out at the port, a disdainful tone. "Yarn, is this all the weaklings you've brought?"
