Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

……

Meanwhile, Hancock, with one hand supporting her five-month-old belly, crushed the Den Den Mushi in her hand with the other!

"What an arrogant woman!"

Hancock said through gritted teeth, "No woman has ever dared to be arrogant in front of me. Does she think she can act like this just because she has Lord Arn's favor?"

The next moment, Hancock suddenly recalled the scene of being banished to the cold palace by Yann, no longer favored, and having to raise Yann's child all alone.

The autumn wind was bleak, and withered yellow leaves covered the ground, but he waited for a long time without receiving Lord Arn's attention.

"no!"

In an instant, a sense of crisis arose in Hancock, who swiftly left her dormitory, went around to the largest room on another floor, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"Hmm, what a rare guest."

Robin, who was flipping through Amazon Lily's historical documents, looked up with some surprise at the flustered Hancock in front of her and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"Something terrible has happened."

Hancock's expression was no longer as domineering as before. Instead, she looked at her former rival Nico Robin with a sense of camaraderie, and then, like a queen about to be abandoned, she said with teary eyes.

“Lord Yann has other women outside, and I was just humiliated by one of them.”

Robin paused slightly as he flipped through the documents, then asked, "And then?"

"Then?"

Hancock sat down next to Robin and asked, "Robin, don't you feel any sense of crisis?"

Robin glanced at Hancock, slightly raising her eyes, and thought to herself, 'In my eyes, you, woman, are the greatest threat.'

However, Robin remained completely calm on the surface, even saying with a hint of indifference, "I believe in the bond between Brother Yan and me."

"Lord Arn is of utmost reliability..."

Hancock initially agreed, then her expression turned melancholic, and she spoke with a hint of anger.

"But I am Lord Arn's rightful wife. That woman's arrogance is absolutely intolerable. She must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, wouldn't she take advantage of Lord Arn's favor and bully me every day?"

“Then go ahead. Brother Yann is on the Sky Island. I can provide you with a map showing the Sky Island’s movement path. You can go up there directly using the form of the ‘Blackwing Demon’.”

Robin said this with an attitude of enjoying the show.

"Of course, Brother Yan is currently busy building Sky Island. If you're not afraid of disturbing Brother Yan's important business and causing Brother Yan's identity to be exposed in front of the Revolutionary Army, then go ahead."

Hancock asked, puzzled.

"Lord Yann isn't on Sky Island, is he? That woman just now claimed to be a princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Lord Yann should have gone to the Kingdom of Alabasta."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Robin's expression clearly showed some surprise.

Robin then took out a Den Den Mushi from the side and contacted the Revolutionary Army to verify Yann's situation.

However, to ensure secrecy this time, Dragon had already blocked all information internally.

As for Yann, he was planning to give Robin a surprise, so he didn't tell her any related information beforehand, such as the Skypiea Poneglyphs or the Alabasta Kingdom Poneglyphs.

This led Robin to learn through internal Revolutionary Army intelligence that while Yann appeared to still be on Skypiea, his whereabouts were actually unknown.

This made Robin's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

In Robin's eyes, Arn's trip was for the Revolutionary Army's important cause, for the future of the sea.

As for whether he flirted with other women during this process, Robin had gradually calmed down under the pressure from Hancock.

After all, it's inevitable for someone as outstanding and excellent as Brother Yan to have such troubles, and Robin also believes that the bond between herself and Yan is unshakable.

At least, even under the fierce offensive of Hancock, the most beautiful woman on the sea, Robin knew that she still held an unshakable place in Arn's heart.

But this time, in Robin's eyes, Yann was... secretly! secretly! going to the Kingdom of Alabasta to see a woman without telling him.

Going is fine, but Robin finds this cover-up somewhat unacceptable.

Robin slammed the document in his hand on the table, saying with dissatisfaction, "What kind of woman is she? How could she make Brother Yan go to such lengths?"

"Yes, I'd also like to see what kind of woman dares to be so arrogant towards me."

After a pause, Hancock suddenly raised an eyebrow and made a suggestion.

"Robin, why don't we go find that woman together?"

"This……"

Robin looked at her now fully protruding belly and hesitated.

"Don't worry, it's only been five months. My combat power hasn't been affected to that extent yet," Hancock said proudly and confidently.

Finally, after being persuaded by Hancock, Robin, though feeling uneasy, agreed. "Okay!"

"Then I will immediately issue the order to set sail!"

……

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave outside the capital of Alabasta.

Crocodile was listening to a report from Mr. 2 Bon Clay, a user of the "Imitation Fruit" who was dressed in almost identical clothes but had a completely different appearance.

"Really? King Cobra has agreed. Thank you for your hard work."

Crocodile nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Immediately after Crocodile dismissed Mr. 1 and Mr. 2, his expression turned particularly gloomy as he puffed heavily on his cigar.

"Yasuo, the Sword Master? Where did this bastard come from? How dare he ruin my plans?"

"No matter who you are, if you dare to get in my way, I'll turn your whole family into sand."

[Chapter 316: Teacher Yasuo]

When Yann finished his bath and came out, he found Princess Vivi still waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

However, when Yan's gaze shifted, he noticed that the Den Den Mushi he had placed on the table had been moved, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

For the sake of secrecy, Yan had placed seven or eight Den Den Mushi inside Xiao Jin's body, each with a different purpose.

This particular one was used by Yann for private communications with Hancock and Sengoku Marshal, among others.

That's why Fleet Admiral Sengoku contacted Aon again to inquire about Hancock's condition, which is why Aon casually tossed the Den Den Mushi onto the table and chatted with Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Afterwards, with the arrival of Dragon, after a conversation between Yann and Dragon, Yann forgot to put the Den Den Mushi away.

So, did Princess Vivi touch it by accident? Or has her identity already been discovered?

The worst information this Den Den Mushi could leak was that Princess Vivi discovered Arn's identity as a Rear Admiral.

Immediately, while wiping his still slightly damp hair, Yann sat down next to Princess Vivi and asked casually.

Did anyone call just now?

“Lord Yaso, a woman did indeed call just now,” Princess Vivi replied somewhat nervously.

"Hmm? Did he say anything?" Yann asked.

"No...no, she just asked me about my identity out of the blue and told me not to practice swordsmanship with you. It was very strange." Princess Vivi was still somewhat dissatisfied as she said this.

Meanwhile, Yann observed Princess Vivi's micro-expressions and confirmed that the blue-haired little girl really didn't seem to have understood anything.

Immediately, Yann casually put away the Den Den Mushi and then continued on Princess Vivi's topic, saying, "Princess Vivi, you are indeed not very suited to practicing swordsmanship."

Princess Vivi raised her eyes, her gaze towards Arn filled with longing and resentment as she asked, "Why? I really will try my best."

"This is not just a matter of hard work..."

Arn's mind raced. As he sensed something with his Observation Haki, he spoke up.

"Swordsmanship is not something that can be achieved simply through hard work and arduous practice. To truly grasp the essence of the Wind-Riding Swordsmanship, one must have an indomitable spirit and the awareness that death is like the wind, always accompanying one's life."

"As a princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, you would never have the opportunity to take such a risk."

"Moreover, even if Princess Vivi wants to protect her people, the sword she wields should not be a personal sword, but a sword of benevolence and righteousness that carries the wishes of all people."

As soon as Yann finished speaking, a round of applause suddenly rang out at the doorway.

"Clap clap clap!"

As the door opened, King Cobra gently clapped his hands at Yaon, praising him, "I never expected that Lord Yasuo, as a swordsman, would be so clear about these principles of governance."

“It’s just that after wandering the world for so long, I’ve seen so many things that I’ve naturally come to understand,” Yann replied.

"I see. I appreciate Lord Yasuo's benevolence."

After a pause, King Cobra's expression darkened slightly, and he spoke softly to Princess Vivi.

“Weiwei, how dare you disturb Lord Yasuo’s rest so late at night, especially by barging into his room? This is utterly disrespectful.”

Clearly, the reason King Cobra rushed over late at night was because a guard had reported to him that Princess Vivi had entered Arn's room and... stayed there for a long time.

That's why King Cobra couldn't hold back any longer and came running over.

However, just as King Cobra appeared at the doorway, Yann's Observation Haki allowed him to guess who it was, so he deliberately said these words to test whether there was a fundamental conflict between King Cobra's ideology and that of the Revolutionary Army.

So far, the results are pretty good.

Just as Yann's lips curved into a slight smile, Princess Vivi, startled by her father's unusually stern rebuke, showed a hint of fear on her face. She quickly rose, performed a courtly apology to Yann, and then returned to King Cobra's side.

Just when Arn thought that the troublesome matter of Princess Vivi becoming an apprentice was finally over, King Cobra suddenly spoke up.

"Lord Yaso, I have a favor to ask. Vivi is usually playful and mischievous, and even though I have hired many teachers, she still finds it difficult to concentrate on her studies."

"It's rare that she's now showing the desire to learn on her own initiative, so I hope that Lord Yasuo can give Vivi some guidance, not just on swordsmanship, but on other more important life principles."

Yann frowned slightly, not expecting King Cobra to say such a thing.

After all, King Cobra shouldn't easily trust strangers. Moreover, putting himself in her shoes, Yann would usually cut any man who dared to approach his daughter into seven pieces.

“Your Majesty, I have only happened to be traveling in the Kingdom of Alabasta and will soon be embarking on my journey again. I will not be staying in the Kingdom of Alabasta for long,” Yann said cryptically.

King Cobra stroked Princess Vivi's head and then said, "I understand, but before Lord Yaso departs, Princess Vivi will have to trouble you."

"OK then."

After hesitating for a moment, Yann agreed.

"Thank you very much."
