Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

As Shanks strolled around, the Conqueror's Haki he casually unleashed stunned many members of the Whitebeard Pirates and even cracked the hulls of nearby ships.

Furthermore, the clash between "Red-Haired" Shanks and "Whitebeard" Newgate Edward caused the sky to crack due to the aftershocks of their collision.

At this point, Yann was almost certain that it was the power of "Conqueror's Haki".

However, this also made Yan understand that "Conqueror's Haki" and "spiritual pressure" are not the same thing, but they have very similar properties.

There's nothing to it except that after Yann closely observed Hancock using the power of "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement," he discovered that whenever Hancock used this power, a blackish-red substance would naturally entangle her.

That is... the true, tangible "Conqueror's Haki".

However, even though Aon was somewhat disappointed that "spiritual pressure" and "Conqueror's Haki" were not the same thing, he still held onto a certain expectation and tried to control his spiritual pressure using the techniques of "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement".

If Yann could truly use spiritual pressure freely, instead of using it in such a formulaic way, his personal safety would be several levels stronger.

However, just as Arn was intentionally hiding from Hancock and Robin in the deep mountains behind Amazon Lily to train, before he could make any progress in his training, Arn's Observation Haki sensed an uninvited guest approaching Amazon Lily.

Garp!

"That old bastard, what's he doing here?!" Yann muttered, his face darkening.

If there's anyone in the Navy that Yann most resists getting close to, it's undoubtedly Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, the "Naval Hero."

As a child, Yann had lost count of how many times he had almost been slapped to death by Vice Admiral Garp.

That bastard is really reckless and doesn't know his own strength!

Under the weight of multiple psychological traumas, Yann's Observation Haki has even reached the point where it automatically warns Vice Admiral Garp when he approaches.

hide……

Yaen's body moved almost instinctively, but then abruptly stopped.

Lieutenant General Garp's arrival was undoubtedly aimed at Yann.

Now that Arn is a "prisoner" of Amazon Lily, there's no way he can hide.

"Damn it, the old man knows perfectly well that I'm most afraid of Garp, what is he up to?"

Ya'en swallowed hard, a bad feeling creeping over him.

However, no matter how unwilling A'en was, he could only hurry back to the Nine Serpents Palace.

……

Soon, a naval warship with a dog-head prow and a unique overall shape approached the port amidst the wary gazes of a large number of Kuja warriors.

"Where's that kid Yann's wife? Why didn't anyone come out to greet the elders?"

Garp stood on the bow of the ship and started shouting, his loud voice carrying almost the entire length of Amazon Lily.

'Damn Garp…'

Yann cursed under his breath, but could only continue to pretend to be a prisoner and appear with Hancock at the port, which was still under repair.

Upon seeing Yone and Hancock for the first time, Vice Admiral Garp immediately exclaimed, "Yone, congratulations! Happy wedding!"

Yann feigned ignorance, seemingly oblivious to Garp's congratulations. "Vice Admiral Garp, are you here to rescue me?"

Vice Admiral Garp grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and said, "No, no, no, Sengoku sent me to oversee your wedding."

? !

Ya'en.

"Also, Yann, you better step up your game. If you don't have a kid, Sengoku won't let me leave Amazon Lily." - Lieutenant General Garp.

(　.0ロ0)』

Ya'en.

Yaen was stunned for several breaths, then his voice became shrill as he shouted, "Are you...are you kidding me?!"

"Who's joking with you?"

Lieutenant General Garp said this while picking his nose with his pinky finger.

"That guy Sengoku already received a huge sum of money in Marineford under the guise of your wedding, and this whole ship I brought here is all gifts for Amazon Lily."

[Chapter 281. A Grand Wedding]

Will Yann give in?

Absolutely not!

and so……

Three days later, the entire Nine-She Island was completely filled with a festive atmosphere, with red flowers and red cloth hanging everywhere.

The marriage between the Emperor of Amazon Lily and the son of the Navy Admiral, a wedding in which their status and position are perfectly matched, is about to take place on Amazon Lily.

On the naval warship, Yann was being manipulated like a puppet by several female naval officers as they dressed him in his wedding gown, while Vice Admiral Garp stood by with his arms crossed, keeping a close watch on Yann.

I desperately want to escape, but I can't seem to get away...

In name only, with his hands still bound by seastone handcuffs, Arn should not have the ability to escape.

What's more, Lieutenant General Garp followed Yon around all the time, even when he went to the toilet and slept, giving Yon no chance to escape.

"Hey old man, can't you just leave me alone?"

As Yann was being swayed back and forth, he spoke stiffly to the Den Den Mushi on Garp's shoulder.

On the Den Den Mushi, the undeniable voice of the Sengoku Marshal rang out.

"Stop giving me all that nonsense. You're already 24 this year, it's about time you got married. Let's just leave it at that. At least Hancock is pretty and has a strong physique, which will be good for improving the genes of our offspring."

……

Ya'en.

In his entire life, Yan never imagined that as the mastermind who had secretly outmaneuvered the World Government several times, he would ultimately not escape the forced marriage by Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Even though Yan was still thinking about how to pick out the most suitable tree for himself in a forest, he was forcibly hung up by Marshal Sengoku.

"Father, can such an important matter as marriage be decided so casually? This is a decision that will affect my entire life. Can't I just make my own choice?"

Yaon tried to touch the last bit of compassion in the heartless Sengoku Marshal.

Unfortunately, the Warring States marshal at this time had no fatherly affection whatsoever; his mind was already filled with the bond between grandfather and grandson.

"Give me a grandson first, and then you can divorce me or marry another woman as you please."

At this moment, Yan felt that he had been completely reduced to a tool in the eyes of Marshal Sengoku.

"Ah~"

Speechless and choked with emotion, unable to resist or do anything about it, Yaen could only helplessly accept this reality.

Then, the grand wedding began!

Because the rule of Amazon Lily prohibits men from landing there, although Hancock, as the Empress of Amazon Lily, did not hesitate to break this rule for Yann, she ultimately only allowed Yann and Vice Admiral Garp, who was attending the wedding as an elder, to enter Amazon Lily.

Ya'en, much like a son-in-law marrying into the royal family, was formally welcomed into the country by a wedding procession of tens of thousands of people from the Amazon Lily from the warship. After circling the interior of the Amazon Lily three times, they finally entered the actual wedding venue—the Royal Palace.

Of course, there was no rule in the past that emperors could marry men on Amazon Lily, so these etiquettes and customs were based on the customs of other countries.

At that moment, Hancock, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, stood at the palace gate, waiting for Yann's arrival.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Hancock in front of them, not only were the others captivated by her undeniable charm, but even Yann was momentarily stunned.

What a nice view……

Hancock's blissful yet shy expression was incredibly beautiful.

Hancock... is truly happy...

A hint of guilt flashed in Yann's eyes as he maintained a desperate attitude in front of Garp.

Clearly, she had already explained to Hancock beforehand that this was merely a performance for Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and even the World Government.

Why does Hancock still have such a happy expression?

The grand ceremonies along the way, the nationwide celebrations, and even the news being reported in newspapers and spread throughout the ocean—this had left Hancock with no way back, and destined her to be bound to it for the rest of her life.

However, when Yann actually saw Hancock, he was surprised to find that Hancock was radiating happiness.

At this moment, Yann truly realized that Hancock seemed to genuinely like him, and that she was the kind of foolish woman who had completely fallen for him.

'I'm so despicable...'

Yann suddenly realized that he was completely wrong in this matter. He hadn't even truly understood his feelings for Hancock yet, but he had asked Hancock to cooperate with him like this. It was really despicable.

Arn's fist, hidden inside his robe, clenched tightly, but then slowly relaxed.

If he were to run away now, not only would he be unable to fully explain his own problems, but it would also undoubtedly be another form of harm to Hancock.

Just as Yann hesitated, feeling guilty, Hancock, dressed in a magnificent gown, stepped forward, took Yann's hand, and said...

"Lord Yann, I never thought this day would actually come. It's wonderful."

As Yann followed Hancock into the palace, he glanced at Vice Admiral Garp, who was gradually putting distance between them, and spoke.

"Sorry, Hancock."

Hancock didn't speak, but instead tightened her grip on Arn's hand, trying to get closer to him.

Hancock understood what Yann meant; he was apologizing to her for the wedding, which was so important to any woman.

However, Hancock didn't care about such things at all.

Everything I possess—glory, wealth, and fame—belongs to Lord Arn!

Whether Yann accepts it or not, Hancock has already made this decision.

The appearance of this wedding may have made Hancock aware that Yann had not yet truly accepted her feelings, but it also allowed Hancock to declare to the entire sea that she was Yann's woman.

That's enough!

Hancock's eyes narrowed with happiness as she wholeheartedly carried out each step of the wedding ceremony with Arn.

Yann's expression remained one of reluctance and despair, a stark contrast to Hancock's blissful smile, perfectly reflecting the mutual feelings of Yann, a Marine being forced into marriage by the Pirate Empress.

As the elaborate rituals were completed step by step, Yann and Hancock were led into their bridal chamber.

But as the festively decorated door closed, Hancock and Yann both turned to look at the chair at the far end of the room.

Robin was sitting elegantly in a chair, holding a book, but his tranquil and elegant demeanor seemed out of place with the festive atmosphere around him.
