Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Little Robin readily agreed, and then severed her connection with Arn.

"Brother Yan, are you in the North Sea?"

As Robin memorized the Den Den Mushi number that Arn had given him, he murmured something to himself.

Immediately, Little Robin controlled the Navy Division Lieutenant to find a loose raincoat, and then she hid under the raincoat, allowing the Navy Division Lieutenant to hurriedly lead her toward the island's port.

Soon, Robin found a merchant ship that was about to set sail. He once again used the "Cursed Eye Sangha" ability to control a crew member and found an inconspicuous corner on the ship to stay in.

As the merchant ship gradually sailed away and disappeared off the coastline, the naval lieutenant, under Robin's control, returned to the fishmonger's house, then stripped the fishmonger and himself naked and lay down on the bed together.

A moment later, the naval division lieutenant's previously blank gaze suddenly cleared, and he looked around blankly.

"Huh? I... how did I get here? Wasn't I supposed to be at a house after receiving a tip from a civilian, preparing to arrest 'Devil's Child' Nico Robin?"

The naval lieutenant muttered to himself, when he suddenly felt someone lying on top of him.

Looking down...

The incredibly oily food, along with the fishmonger who reeks of fish, is lying naked on his body.

"asshole!"

The next moment, the naval lieutenant suddenly sprang up and slapped the fishmonger hard across the face.

Then, with the fishmonger still dazed and confused after being slapped awake, the naval lieutenant kicked him out of the room window.

"Oh!"

On this day, the fishmonger felt the rain was colder than ever before.

"Men, take this prisoner back to the naval base. I want to interrogate him myself!"

Soon, a neatly dressed naval lieutenant walked out of the house with a gloomy look in his eyes, his gaze towards the fishmonger filled with anger and disdain.

[Chapter 48: Buddhist-like Approach]

Yaon was naturally unaware that little Robin had begun to display her cunning talent at such a young age, and was lost in thought in his mental space.

In fact, Robin was the first person Arn was to be granted the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade, so Arn didn't really know what would happen after being granted the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade.

However, judging from the current situation, firstly, Robin can communicate with Arn through the Hollow Zanpakuto within her body, and secondly, she can indeed use the power of the Hollow Zanpakuto.

According to Yann's understanding, the "Cursed Eye Sangha's" ability belongs to domination; the eyes possess the ability to deprive the object being gazed upon of its dominion.

However, one eye can only control one object. For example, if you look at a hand, you can only control the hand; if you look at a foot, you can only control the foot; only by looking at the head can you control your consciousness and the whole body.

This ability is a perfect match for Robin.

After all, "flower fruit" can make any part of the body grow like a flower on any tangible thing within sight.

The eyes, naturally, are one of them.

This is why Robin can secretly use her "Flower-Flower Fruit" to activate the "Cursed Eye Sangha" ability, thus unknowingly controlling the Navy Division Lieutenant.

"So, the purpose of the Hollow Zanpakuto is to directly grant the recipient some special characteristic, rather than allowing them to actually obtain the Zanpakuto and use its power, like I have?"

Yaen murmured to himself, his understanding of the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade had greatly increased, and he had come to realize its preciousness.

In a sense, the Hollow Zanpakuto is completely comparable to a Devil Fruit without any side effects, granting the recipient a second special ability besides the Devil Fruit itself.

Even for someone like Robin, the combination of the "Flower-Flower Fruit" and the "Cursed Eye Sangha" almost produced a result greater than the sum of its parts.

"Sigh... It seems I should try to collect as many Devil Fruits as possible if I have the chance."

Lying on the large sofa in the castle, Yann couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of poverty upon thinking about this.

Immediately, Yan calmed himself down and continued his interrupted training, learning the Shunpo technique from Senbonzakura.

The four fighting techniques of the Grim Reaper are "Slash, Fist, Walk, and Demon," namely, Kendo, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido.

Because she inherited the knowledge of her predecessor, Senbonzakura is completely proficient in the four major combat techniques: "Slash, Fist, and Demon Walk".

However, relatively speaking, Yann was very aware of his physical shortcomings.

Therefore, Aon places great importance on Shunpo (Instant Step), regarding it as the foundation of his survival; secondly, he uses Kido (Kido) to compensate for his limited attack style and to deal with various unexpected situations; thirdly, he uses Kendo (Swordsmanship); and finally, his study of Hakuda (Hakta) is almost entirely limited to theory.

After all, Yann knew very well that using his physical strength to fight a monster like Vice Admiral Garp with a bare-knuckle attack was a complete waste of time, even a free kill.

……

The next day.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Lord Yann, are you inside? Lord Yann!"

With Lieutenant Hope's rough shout, Yann woke up from the castle inside Little Gold's body, then left Little Gold's body, opened the door, and asked sleepily.

"Lieutenant Hope, what's up so early in the morning?"

Seeing that Yone was unharmed, Lieutenant Hope immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious expression easing as he said, "That's great, Lord Yone. I was worried that you might have been taken away by 'Golden Lion' Shiki."

Arne waved his hand, too lazy to explain the "Golden Lion" Shiki incident to Lieutenant Hope, who was now his adjutant, and went straight to the point: "Have the rest of the crew on the warship woken up?"

"Report! Ready to join the battle at any time!" Lieutenant Hope responded loudly and energetically.

“No need to participate in the battle. ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki has already left. Go and check the sea area we are in now, find a route and continue to the North Sea,” Yann said.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Hope showed a hint of doubt, but still responded loudly, "Yes, Lord Arne."

Immediately after washing up briefly in his room, Yann leisurely walked towards the deck of the warship with his hands behind his back.

It was another clear, sunny day with a beautiful blue sky and sea.

Yann wandered around the warship a few times like a retired old man, took a walk, stretched his muscles a little, and then lay back down on the beach chair on the deck.

Drinks, fruit, nodding...

The only slight pity is that, apart from the seagulls, all that Yann can see are a bunch of burly naval officers and soldiers.

These naval officers and soldiers were indeed elite, but they weren't exactly pleasing to the eye. In their passionate display, they always gave Arn a sense of masculine arrogance.

"Speaking of which, why didn't the old man arrange a female adjutant for me? Doesn't he... want his son to have a better life?"

Just as Y'en was pondering this philosophical question, Lieutenant Hope walked towards him carrying a set of clothes and said...

"Lord Yann, I unexpectedly encountered 'Golden Lion' Shiki yesterday, and forgot to give you your military uniform."

"uniform?"

Yaen glanced at it and noticed the white navy suit and the cape with the word "Justice" printed on it.

I have to say, this is so cringeworthy! And so brainwashing!

Constantly carrying the word "justice" on one's back, while gradually enduring this kind of adolescent angst, one might unknowingly be assimilated, thus completely accepting the will to uphold "justice".

Immediately, Yann pointed to the Justice Cloak and asked, "Lieutenant Hope, can we not wear this Justice Cloak?"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Hope couldn't help but show a troubled expression, and said...

"Lord Yann, the Cloak of Justice is one of the important symbols of our naval officers, and it is required by regulations to wear it."

“How about changing the words on it?” Yann asked.

"I wonder what word Lord Yann would like to change it to?" Lieutenant Hope asked after a moment's hesitation.

Yaen fell into thought, various words flashing through his mind: serious, unserious, ordinary, extraordinary...

Finally, Yann spoke up. "'Buddhist-like,' let's just write 'Buddhist-like' then."

"Huh? Lord Yann, what does this word mean? I need to report it," Lieutenant Hope asked, somewhat puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Yarne realized that Lieutenant Hope might not yet understand that level of understanding, so he simply explained, "This 'Buddha' is the Buddha from the 'Warring States of Buddha,' understand?"

"I see……"

Lieutenant Hope immediately showed a look of sudden realization and muttered to himself.

"So, Lord Arn wanted to change it to these two words to show that he firmly stood on the side of the Marshal?"

[Chapter 49. Shocking!!!]

The "Buddhist" aspect of this "Buddhist Warring States" is already stated so clearly.

Why stand firmly on the side of the Warring States Marshal? Besides wanting to express his attitude towards life, Ya'en also wanted to subtly reveal his identity.

My husband was a marshal during the Warring States period, you know?

However, as for Lieutenant Hope, or rather, the generally peculiar thought processes of the men on this high seas, Arn had lost the desire to complain and was beginning to accept this strange premise.

Perhaps it is true that Ya'en understands that his explanation would be of little significance and might even be misunderstood as having a deeper meaning.

This is probably because Lieutenant Hope thought he was on the fifth level and guessed that Yone was in the atmosphere, while in reality Yone only intended to wander around the first level.

"Lieutenant Hope, is there any problem with reporting this way?" Yann only cared about this matter.

“Of course, no problem. It’s perfectly permissible for the Navy to express its righteous stance,” Lieutenant Hope said matter-of-factly.

Just then, a newsbird flew overhead and tossed a newspaper down towards the warship.

"Huh? Doesn't this thing cost money?" Yann asked, somewhat puzzled.

"How could that be? Our navy is a partner of the news agency, so naturally we don't need to pay them."

Lieutenant Hope said this as a matter of course, then caught the newspaper in the air. Just as he was about to hand it to Arn, he glanced at it and let out a strange cry.

"Huh?! Hiss~~~~"

"What's wrong?" Yan asked, puzzled.

"Breaking...breaking news, Lord Yern! This is incredible news!"

Lieutenant Hope said exaggeratedly, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"That's outrageous? The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has been blown up?"

Ya'en said something and casually picked up the newspaper. When the first headline on the front page caught his eye, Ya'en was also surprised.

However, Yann's point of surprise was completely different from Lieutenant Hope's.

"Ten years have passed, and we are separated by life and death. I do not think of you, but I cannot forget you"—there is such an unknown relationship between these two legendary pirates.

"This……"

By this point, Yann was already feeling a headache coming on, and he had a vague idea of ​​what the news would be about.

"Shocking! Recently, a reporter obtained an astonishing piece of information from an insider in the Navy: the reason why 'Golden Lion' Shiki stormed Marineford, the Navy Headquarters, all by himself back then."
