Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"spread……"

With a simple, unadorned slash, the two Devil Fruits known as "treasures of the sea" were cut in half.

???

Capone Bell.

At this moment, even Capone Bell, a mafia boss, couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache and murmured something to himself.

"What a waste! Even if these two are both Zoan-type Devil Fruits, they're worth at least 100 million Berries, and just like that... they're gone."

At this moment, Yann could not pay attention to Capone Bell's reaction, and instead focused most of his attention on the Zanpakuto and his soul.

As the two Devil Fruits were shattered, an invisible energy was absorbed by the Zanpakuto and began to slowly condense into a mask within the soul.

'It seems my intuition was correct. The way to awaken a Hollow Zanpakuto lies in absorbing a Devil Fruit, and it's not limited to consuming it oneself; directly absorbing its energy through the Zanpakuto is also feasible.'

Upon realizing this, Yann couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the taste of Devil Fruits is definitely not pleasant.

The last time, under Sengoku's watchful eye, Yann had to eat a Devil Fruit right in front of him, and he even sprinkled a lot of sugar on it, but the taste...

It's still like a lump of sugar-sprinkled "Oli Gei".

This really disgusted Ayan, who wanted to vomit immediately, but Sengoku slapped him back down.

Fortunately, Yann's intuition was correct; if he wanted to absorb the Devil Fruit's energy, he could do so directly through the Zanpakuto.

Otherwise, Yann really needs to seriously consider whether to completely give up this ability.

After all, according to Yann's intuition, the Devil Fruit energy required to condense each additional Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade would be double that of the previous one.

In other words, if Yann had to eat the Devil Fruit himself every time to absorb energy, he would most likely... die from overeating, or rather, die from overeating the Devil Fruit with its indescribable taste.

After this verification, Yann had a better understanding of the situation. He was about to take out the last Paramecia-type Devil Fruit from the box and cut it off when...

Suddenly, Yann felt that the Devil Fruit in his mouth looked familiar, and said uncertainly.

"Huh? This is a 'Fortress Fruit'?"

Capone Bell, fearing that Yann wouldn't understand the value of the "Fortress Fruit," quickly said something after cutting the Devil Fruit in half.

"That's right, this is the 'Fortress Fruit.' The fruit's power allows you to turn your body into a castle, where you can place everything (including yourself) inside your body, just like a real castle. Anything that enters your body will shrink, and it will return to its original size once it leaves the castle's area."

After a pause, Capone Bell added, "This is different from Zoan-type Devil Fruits; this is a rare and special ability."

Yone pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Capone Bell and asked, "Your son's name is Capone Becky?"

In an instant, Capone Bell's pupils contracted sharply, completely unprepared for the fact that Yann knew this secret.

As the founder of the Capone Mafia, Capone Bell foresaw his future fate, so for safety reasons, he always kept his wife and son hidden.

However, this biggest secret for Capone Bell was casually revealed by Yann.

Countless questions and confusion arose in Capone Bell's mind, but he subconsciously knelt down before Yann and said...

"My lord, please spare my family. I am willing to give anything."

[Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Upcoming Promotion Ceremony]

When Capone Bell asked him for help, Yann felt a little embarrassed, as if he were doing something wrong, and could only try to appease him.

"Don't worry, I already told you I'm a good person and I won't do anything to your family."

“Then how…how did you know my son’s name?” Capone Bell asked.

How could I know? Of course I know!

Yaen thought helplessly.

It's worth noting that compared to his father Capone Bell, in the normal course of events, his son Capone Bege, the user of the "Fortress-Fortress Fruit," would have achieved far more and gained far greater fame.

After unifying the underground forces in the West Blue with his "Fortress-Fortress Fruit" ability, Capone Bege formed the "Flame Tank Pirates" and marched towards the Grand Line. He not only became a Supernova in the same era as "Straw Hat Boy" Monkey D. Luffy, but also became the son-in-law of "Four Emperors" Big Mon. In the end, he even secretly stabbed "Four Emperors" Big Mon in the back.

However, unable to explain it to Capone Bell, Yann could only say casually, "It's a secret."

After a moment of contemplation, Capone Bell wore a look of sudden realization and muttered, "Could it be... Becky thinks I'm in his way? So he's determined to get rid of me?"

……

Ya'en.

For a moment, even though Yann understood that the people of this sea were more or less abnormal in their thinking, he still admired Capone Bell's way of thinking, whether it was about the handcuffs or his son.

Just as Yann was wondering whether he should comfort his father, Capone Bell, Capone Bell suddenly burst into laughter and said...

"Hahaha, well done, Becky. Ruthlessness is the right thing to do. Looks like you're finally growing up..."

next moment……

"Snapped!"

Yann slapped Capone Bell on the back of the head and said.

"Stop wasting your time here and get all the evidence transferred and secured right now, or I'll go find that Capone Becky and kill him."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Capone Bell quickly agreed and swiftly packed all the treasure from the safe into his briefcase.

Finally, Yann put the "Fortress Fruit" into the suitcase and stored it away.

Even if Capone Bell hadn't said anything, Yann wouldn't have destroyed the "Fortress Fruit".

To be more precise, back when he was looking at the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, Yann had already begun to notice the existence of the "Fortress Fruit".

In Yann's view, the "Fortress Fruit" is not a wasteful use for pure combat, but has great strategic significance.

The "Fortress Fruit" is undeniably powerful, capable of transforming the human body into a fortress and deploying anything within it at will, but this is only true for powerful forces.

Imagine that Yann is just an ordinary-looking, refined young man on the surface, but he has hidden super-strong combat power such as the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Marine Admirals at any time. What terrifying strategic significance is that?

It wouldn't be impossible for them to instantly destroy Mary Geoise, the "holy land" of the World Government.

Therefore, this is not a Devil Fruit that applies to individuals, but truly to war!

Even setting aside other uses for the time being, the existence of the "Fortified City Fruit" would also be of great use to the Revolutionary Army, which now has extremely high requirements for secrecy.

Immediately, Yann, carrying two large suitcases that were completely full, grabbed Capone Bell by the shoulder and jumped out of the window that the other Zoan-type Devil Fruit users had just broken open.

"what!!"

Amid Capone Bell's exclamation, Yann's feet stomped through the air!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Naval Type 6 - Moon Walk"

With this special technique that allows him to walk on air, Yann's falling speed slowed down rapidly, and he landed gracefully on the ground.

Kuzan, leaning against the wall, glanced at Y'en and said, "Looks like you've had quite a haul."

"good."

Yone casually replied, then tossed Capone Bell to Kuzan, saying, "This should be Capone Bell, the head of the Capone Mafia. He's yours."

"Ah."

Kuzan casually took Capone Bell from him, his gaze falling on the two briefcases in Yann's hands, and gave him a reminder.

"Is that Capone's mafia treasure? According to the rules, loot should be handed over."

Upon hearing this, Yann smiled and said, "Kuzan, I haven't officially joined the Navy and taken on any position yet. I'm just a civilian. You wouldn't be planning to rob a weak and helpless civilian of all their possessions, would you?"

Having said that, Yann, in high spirits after obtaining the "Fortified City Fruit," headed towards the port.

"This kid..."

Kuzan watched Yann's retreating figure with a slightly speechless expression, and then did not ask any further questions.

In a sense, what Yan said is indeed correct. Yan has not yet officially joined the Navy and has no obligation to hand over spoils of war.

With Yone successfully arresting Capone Bell and storming the Capone Mafia headquarters, Kuzan had given Sengoku an explanation and naturally stopped dwelling on such trivial matters.

Immediately, to the astonishment of the rest of the underground organization members in Free Town, Kuzan, carrying the head of the Capone Mafia in one hand, headed towards the port.

Soon, the naval warship, which could be described as a war behemoth, set sail again, heading straight towards Marineford, the naval headquarters.

However, after Kuzan's righteous style underwent a significant change, the naval warship sailed at an unexpectedly slow pace, as if it were strolling along the sea.

Finally, after repeated urging from Marineford, the naval headquarters, Kuzan and his party returned to Marineford just before the ceremony to promote Sengoku to Fleet Admiral.

The promotion of Admiral Sengoku, known as "the Buddha Sengoku" and "the wise general Sengoku," to Fleet Admiral is an extremely significant event, even for the seas that have now entered the "Great Pirate Era."

Sengoku will be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy tomorrow. Countless naval personnel will witness this momentous event, and the footage will be simultaneously broadcast to every naval branch, division, and base around the world to inspire the navy to uphold justice.

……

That night, Sengoku dragged his slightly tired body back to his home, which resembled a courtyard.

With the seas gradually becoming more turbulent as the "Great Pirate Era" begins, the appointment of a new Fleet Admiral is excellent news. However, to prevent pirates from causing trouble, Sengoku has been extremely busy during this period.

Preparing for the promotion ceremony, mobilizing naval forces, monitoring and processing intelligence on the movements of major pirates, and dealing with various demands from the World Government...

As Marshal Zhan Guo pondered the various matters of tomorrow, he pushed open the door and went inside. There was a warm light in the living room, and a table full of sumptuous dishes was laid out.

"Old man, congratulations..."

Standing by the table, Yann's gaze drifted towards the window, and he spoke as if by accident.

[Chapter 28: The Canary]

"what……"

Zhan Guo looked at the handsome young man who seemed a little embarrassed under the slightly dim light, but for a moment he didn't react.

After a moment, Sengoku felt a warmth in his heart and, suppressing the urge to burst into tears, asked.

"You brat, is this to celebrate my promotion to Fleet Admiral?"

"More or less..."

With his arms crossed and his gaze wandering, Yann said something that seemed somewhat insincere.

"By the way, actually, I just felt inexplicably happy thinking about the fact that I will be the adopted son of a naval admiral in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo felt inexplicably tense and uneasy, thinking to himself.
