Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"I'm fine, just a little seasick," Yann replied.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku-sensei hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Where is Shiki? Did he hijack the warship you're on?"

[Chapter 43. Shiki, say something!]

Upon hearing this, Yann fell into a moment of thought. He quickly recalled the Navy appearing at the top level of Impel Down and realized that Impel Down had likely witnessed "Golden Lion" Shiki hijacking the warship and reported the situation to Navy Headquarters.

What puzzled Aan was that if that was the case, the Sengoku Admiral's contact with him was too slow, while he had already dealt with "Golden Lion" Shiki.

……

Meanwhile, at this moment, in Marineford, the naval headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku carefully held the Den Den Mushi in his hands, with Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Borsalino standing beside him.

Originally, Fleet Admiral Sengoku had prepared to set sail with Vice Admiral Borsalino to pursue "Golden Lion" Shiki.

However, he was stopped by Vice Admiral Tsuru, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, and was not allowed to leave Marineford so rashly as Fleet Admiral.

Marshal Sengoku, who usually takes Tsuru's words to heart, is unusually resolute this time, to the point that he has had an unusual falling out with Tsuru.

Until, Vice Admiral Tsuru asked Fleet Admiral Sengoku if he had tried to contact Aon through a Den Den Mushi.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was Aon who answered the Den Den Mushi, and his tone was as if he had just woken up, somewhat languid.

"Huh? Old man, you mean 'Golden Lion' Shiki?"

Yann's casual, conversational tone came through the Den Den Mushi.

In fact, Aon did think that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was alone in his office, and then he heard the news of the warship's accident and contacted him through the Den Den Mushi to confirm the situation.

Who would have thought that the usually wise and calm Fleet Admiral Sengoku, because of his excessive knowledge of "Golden Lion" Shiki, would subconsciously conclude that Aon and all the naval officers and soldiers on the warship were dead, thus falling into a state of rage and grief.

“That’s right, where is ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki? Tell him to come and talk to me,” the Sengoku Marshal said immediately.

"Him..."

Yann glanced at Shiki the Golden Lion, who was lying in the distance on the palm of the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King, his voice gradually fading, and replied.

"Well, it's not very convenient right now."

Immediately, the Warring States Marshal's face darkened, as if he had guessed something.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku knew very well that "Golden Lion" Shiki was an extremely ambitious and cunning pirate, but also had a lion-like personality that was prone to anger and impulsiveness.

Since Yann survived, does that mean "Golden Lion" Shiki has decided to use Yann as a bargaining chip to threaten him?

"Yarn, does Shiki already know your identity and your relationship with me?" Marshal Sengoku asked.

"I didn't know before, but I just found out," Yann answered truthfully.

At this moment, Marshal Sengoku could vaguely imagine "Golden Lion" Shiki sitting not far from Yaon with a sinister grin, occasionally letting out a playful smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Perhaps it wasn't just Fleet Admiral Sengoku; Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Borsalino, standing beside him, shared similar views.

Completely unexpectedly, the great pirate who once single-handedly stormed Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, Shiki the Golden Lion, was already on the verge of death.

Immediately, the Sengoku Marshal shouted loudly at the Den Den Mushi.

"Shiki, you bastard, what do you have to say? Say it now!"

Meanwhile, Shiki, the "Golden Lion," who had been carried far away, heard the familiar voice from the Den Den Mushi, along with sarcastic words that seemed to be telling him to make his final arrangements.

At this moment, Shiki, who had seemed to be on the verge of death and bleeding out, suddenly turned red with anger and roared.

"Warring States, don't get too cocky. I'll kill your son right now..."

However, Shiki's weak voice could only be barely heard by Yann and could not be transmitted to the Den Den Mushi at all.

Immediately, "Golden Lion" Shiki struggled for a moment, but failed to get up and could only glare fiercely at Yann.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

After being roared at by Marshal Sengoku, Yan covered his ears and asked...

Instead of hearing "Golden Lion" Shiki's voice for a long time, Yann seemed to reply with some dissatisfaction, which made Fleet Admiral Sengoku's heart sink. He forced himself to remain calm and said loudly.

"Yarn, don't worry, don't be too stressed. That bastard Shiki can't hurt you a hair on your head..."

……

"Golden Lion" Shiki.

At that moment, Shiki the Golden Lion felt as if he had been insulted like never before, and his anger reached its peak.

If defeated by a rising star of the sea in a full-scale battle, even if the opponent is the Navy, Shiki the Golden Lion would be completely convinced of his defeat.

However, what infuriated Shiki the Golden Lion was that this rising star was actually the son of his old rival, the Sengoku Marshal.

I... was arrested by that bastard Sengoku and imprisoned in the underwater prison. I finally managed to escape by crippling my own legs, but I never expected to lose my life at the hands of that bastard Sengoku's son.

How could the self-important "Golden Lion" Shiki tolerate this?

In particular, that bastard Sengoku was actually mocking him?

This is to say that if his son performs at his normal level, his father wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his son's head.

What's even more infuriating is that "Golden Lion" Shiki knows he really couldn't inflict the slightest damage on Yann.

Immediately, the Warring States Marshal continued to speak loudly.

“'Golden Lion' Shiki, if you still have any backbone as a pirate, come to Marineford right now and see if you can withstand one of my punches.”

"Ahhhh!!!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, enraged, suddenly spat out his last few mouthfuls of blood, but then he was completely lifeless.

……

Ya'en.

"Hey, Shiki, you bastard, stop bullying the younger generation! Say something to me!" The Sengoku Marshal's voice continued to ring out.

"Old man, stop for a moment and listen to me, okay?"

As Yann tried to move the Den Den Mushi as far away as possible, a look of helplessness crossed his face. "The 'Golden Lion' Shiki you mentioned is gone, he's not here anymore, stop calling him."

"Huh?! They're gone?!"

Marshal Sengoku's voice was filled with disbelief, completely unprepared for this outcome, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did they go?"

"How would I know exactly where it is?" Yann rolled his eyes and replied.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Sengoku exchanged glances with Lieutenant General Tsuru and Lieutenant General Borsalino, paused for a moment, and then asked seriously.

"Ya'en, are you sure you're not joking?"

Yann swore without hesitation, “If I have uttered even half a lie, you and I will both remain single for the rest of our lives.”

[Chapter 44 So, true love?]

……

Marshal of the Warring States Period.

"Damn it, why are you swearing to drag me into this?"

“Old man, you are the most important person in my heart. Wouldn’t it be more convincing to make such an oath?” Yann said matter-of-factly.

"Very well, I hope you're not lying, otherwise you..."

At this point, Marshal Sengoku glanced casually at Lieutenant General Tsuru before continuing, "Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

"Alright, Marshal Sengoku, stop fooling around here."

Immediately, Vice Admiral Tsuru rolled his eyes at Sengoku, took the Den Den Mushi from his hand, and asked directly.

“Yan, tell me the details of what happened.”

? !

Ya'en.

Lieutenant General Tsuru was there? That was close!

Compared to the Warring States marshal, Lieutenant General Tsuru was clearly much harder to fool.

Immediately, Yann's mind raced as he considered how to answer Lieutenant General Tsuru's question.

Originally, Aon's plan was to first easily fool the old man Sengoku, and then after he had managed to fool the rest of the naval officers and soldiers on the warship.

Lieutenant Hope then reported the matter to Marshal Sengoku, and that was the end of it.

But now, it seems that's no longer possible.

"Well, here's what happened..."

Yann cleared his throat and spoke in a slightly frightened voice.

"After the warships passed through the Gates of Justice and entered the Great Whirlpool, they suddenly encountered the Gates of Justice that were gradually opening on the side of the Great Undersea Prison and discovered the whereabouts of 'Golden Lion' Shiki."

"To prevent 'Golden Lion' Shiki from hijacking the warship and escaping, I quickly ordered the warship to move away from the Gate of Justice. However, its speed was ultimately no match for 'Golden Lion' Shiki, and it was caught up with the warship and brought aboard."

"Subsequently, faced with the various unreasonable demands of the fierce pirate 'Golden Lion' Shiki, our soldiers bravely stepped forward, dared to draw their swords, and fearlessly attempted to arrest 'Golden Lion' Shiki to uphold justice on the sea."

? ?

Marshal of the Warring States Period, Lieutenant General Tsuru, Lieutenant General Borsalino.

"So, this young man Yan led the Navy to defeat 'Golden Lion' Shiki?" Vice Admiral Borsalino said in a teasing tone.

Not to mention Lieutenant General Borsalino, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Lieutenant General Tsuru, held the same skeptical attitude.

After all, if a mere naval officer could drive away or arrest Shiki the Golden Lion, the Navy wouldn't have suffered such enormous losses because of him.

'This kid, is he trying to claim credit for something?'

'Very good, it's right to be skeptical, it's right to disbelieve...'

At each end of the Den Den Mushi, completely different ideas sprouted.

Immediately, Yann changed the subject and spoke without hesitation.

"It is an honor for us to die for justice as naval personnel, but I deeply understand that it is meaningless to die, so I stopped the conflict between our forces and 'Golden Lion' Shiki in time, and preserved our forces as much as possible."

Seeing the righteous expression that the Den Den Mushi was mimicking from Aon, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but glance at Sengoku and ask.
