Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"I answered casually," Yan replied, then glanced at Yamato beside him.

At this moment, after Yamato deactivated her "Great Mouth True God Form," the demon mask she had been wearing on her face disappeared, revealing a delicate face that was completely different from her bold and straightforward personality. The whiteness of her skin reminded Aon of the fluffy white texture of her hair under her "Great Mouth True God Form."

Yamato's amber eyes were exceptionally clear, without a trace of impurity, as if one could see right through them and know what this straightforward woman was thinking.

Immediately, Yann's gaze moved down Yamato's smooth chin and noticed that Yamato's once close-fitting sleeveless kimono was now loose and tattered.

The key point is that Yamato is in a vacuum state, and Aon is standing on the side, so it is almost completely visible at a glance.

'etc……'

Yaen quickly turned his head to the other side, his expression becoming slightly unnatural, and he couldn't help but complain inwardly.

'Is this how the vast ocean tests the old navy man?'

Yamato noticed that Arn seemed a little uneasy and asked without realizing it, "What are you doing, Arn?"

As he spoke, Yamato leaned slightly closer to Aon, seemingly checking if Aon was injured anywhere.

"Hey, Yann, if you're feeling unwell, just say so. Don't try to tough it out."

Ayan's lips twitched slightly as he reminded him, "No, the clothes..."

"clothing?"

Upon hearing Arn's words, Yamato blinked his amber eyes, then reached out and pulled at Arn's clothes, asking a question.

"Come, let me see where you're injured."

???

Ya'en.

Shocked by Yamato's reaction, Arn paused for a moment, then suddenly felt a corner of his clothes being pulled open.

In an instant, Yann quickly took several steps back, waved his hand, and felt completely helpless against this oblivious woman.

Does this thing really have absolutely no awareness that it is a woman?

Immediately, Yann pointed at Yamato and said directly, "These are your clothes."

Yamato glanced down at his clothes, casually tugged at them, and looked utterly puzzled. "My clothes? There's nothing wrong with them."

"Nobody taught you..."

At this point, Yann paused, realizing he had said something superfluous.

Yamato did not hide her past from Arn, so after only half a day of contact, Arn had almost completely learned about Yamato's past experiences.

As the daughter of Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, a group whose overall atmosphere is extremely patronizing of violence and war, Yamato's past life has been almost entirely spent challenging Kaido and being imprisoned.

As for education, warmth, companionship, and the like, none of that exists.

The only book that accompanied Yamato was Kozuki Oden's nautical log, which Yamato carefully treasured. It was the only small window through which Yamato could observe the outside world.

This is why Yamato so admires samurai and lacks common sense. In fact, influenced by the violent environment he experienced in the past, Yamato subconsciously ignores the differences between himself and men.

Immediately, Yann tore a long strip of cloth from his navy cloak and threw it in Yamato's direction, giving a brief explanation and reminder... about that.

The awkwardness of the wording made Ya'en almost feel like he was being a scoundrel.

"What? Such a small thing..."

Yamato muttered grumbling, still looking indifferent.

However, at Arn's insistence, Yamato obediently wrapped the strip of cloth that Arn threw at him around his neck like a bandage.

Accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing together...

"All right!"

Yamato's voice rang out, and only then did Arn turn around.

However, as Aon saw Yamato's appearance clearly, his eyes widened slightly.

Wrapped up in layers of cloth, Yamato's exposed skin became even less, yet inexplicably, it became even more... astringent.

In particular, Yamato's bold and straightforward expression contrasts sharply with his impressive figure, creating an extremely alluring effect.

"What? Still not satisfied?"

Seeing Yaon's expression, Yamato assumed that Yaon was still dissatisfied, so he frowned and said unhappily.

"That's enough, stop nagging, Yann. Even now, with that thing wrapped around my chest, I feel like I can hardly breathe. If it's any tighter, it'll definitely affect the fight."

After saying that, Yamato reached out and casually tugged at the strip of cloth wrapped around his chest, trying to loosen it a little.

"Cough cough..."

Yaen coughed twice, subconsciously pushed up his glasses, then awkwardly lowered his hand and replied, "That's fine."

"Tsk~"

Yamato muttered something unpleasantly, then limped off on his left foot and strode towards the deep pit not far away, his manner both bold and dashing.

Just as Yann took a step to follow, Yamato spoke up again. "It's so annoying, being bothered like this makes me feel like my center of gravity has shifted."

Arn replied with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Just get used to it. Etiquette is one of the essential lessons for a samurai."

Upon hearing this, Yamato paused in his action of lifting the cloth strip, which he was about to untie, and asked, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Only this point, I absolutely am not lying to you. Don't normal samurai usually pay a lot of attention to their clothing?"

After a pause, Yann added.

"Kozuki Oden jumped over the wall out of desperation; don't follow his example."

[Chapter 539. The Different Levels of Both Sides]

Meanwhile, on a Revolutionary Army ship sailing away from "Oni Island," Issho dialed Dragon's Den Den Mushi and reported.

"Leader, Kaido's daughter Yamato and Vice Admiral Aon have appeared on 'Onigashima'. In order to preserve the fighting strength of our comrades, I have chosen to abandon the remnants of the 'Beasts Pirates' that I was about to deal with and instead retreat."

After saying these words, Yixiao was mentally prepared to be scolded or even punished by Dorrag.

After all, Issho's mission on Onigashima was not only to deal with any valuable items that might remain on the island, but also to temporarily keep an eye on the remnants of the Beasts Pirates who hadn't had time to leave, preventing them from disrupting the security of Wano Country.

However, to Yixiao's surprise, Dragon's reaction was unusually calm.

"I understand, Issho. You should immediately lead the rest of the comrades back to the 'Flower Capital'. Our conflict with the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea will break out soon, and we need your combat support on this side."

"Yes……"

He smiled and nodded in agreement, but then asked a question.

"Is it really okay to leave Lieutenant General Yann unattended? If you, Chief, were to come and join me now, it might be a good opportunity to get rid of Lieutenant General Yann."

After Ikko's suggestion was made, there was a few moments of silence on Dorrag's side before he continued.

"Don't underestimate that man. Even if you and I team up, we might not be his match. The best way to restrain his power is to set up the battlefield in Wano Country. He is a righteous and peace-loving man, and he won't go all out to avoid harming innocent people."

"I see. So Lieutenant General Yann is also a man of integrity."

Yixiao nodded, then hung up the Den Den Mushi. Using his Observation Haki, he sensed that "Oni Island" was getting further and further away from him. His tightly closed eyes revealed a few strands of cloudy white, and he sighed helplessly.

"It's a real pity in life to have to be an enemy of this kind of man because of our political stance."

……

At this time, it took Yaon, who was feared by Yixiao, a great deal of effort to completely dispel Yamato's idea of ​​breaking free of his restraints.

'But youth is truly wonderful...'

As Yaon watched Yamato's back, which was lame in one leg but still hopping incredibly fast, he couldn't help but sigh.

This boundless energy was something that Yann, who was gradually approaching middle age, truly envied.

However, Yann was not in a hurry at all. He treated it as a way to raise Yamato while taking a leisurely vacation, leisurely following Yamato from a distance, giving Yamato plenty of time to reunite with the remnants of the "Beast Pirates".

These remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" were all subordinates carefully selected by Arn for Yamato. They were mostly not very smart, but rather honest and loyal pirates.

'Given Yamato's status as Kaido's daughter, and the fact that she saved their lives, subduing these pirates shouldn't be too difficult, right?'

Yaen thought to himself.

'Honestly, it's so hard to find a good person like me. I've devoted myself wholeheartedly to raising... cough, nurturing Yamato, and even providing the team and funding. Even raising a daughter wouldn't be this generous, would it?'

'Speaking of which, I wonder if Yamato will be grateful and acknowledge me as his godfather after he finds out the truth?'

Just as Yan was rubbing his chin, wondering how likely it was that Yamato, who was so lacking in fatherly love, would accept him as a loving father in the future, a series of battle roars came from the large pit not far away.

"Huh? A fight broke out?"

Interrupted by the unexpected commotion, Yann quickened his pace and hurried over.

Meanwhile, in the crater, the many members of the Beast Pirates who had just been freed from their seastone handcuffs, led by "Drought" Jack and senior officer Sasaki, who possessed the "Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Triceratops form," showed obvious hostility towards Yamato.

"Yamato, make way!" Sasaki shouted.

Jack, whose tusk on one side of his head was chipped in half, said with unwavering determination, "The boss must be imprisoned in Wano Country. Even if it means causing a huge ruckus, I will definitely rescue him."

Yamato, who stood in front of the Beasts Pirates without flinching, shouted, "That bastard Kaido is dead."

Immediately, Yamato's gaze shifted, and he spoke with increasing intensity.

“If your intention is to go to Wano Country to cause destruction and force the Revolutionary Army to hand over Kaido, then I will have to defeat you here.”

Jack said dismissively, "You?"

Not only Jack, but the other members of the Beasts Pirates also showed no respect for Yamato.

Perhaps, among the members of the "Beasts Pirates," whose overall mindset is filled with violence and war, they have always been quite disgusted with Yamato's samurai mentality.

In particular, Yamato's past relentless challenges to Kaido, only to be defeated by him countless times, have led them to subconsciously believe that Yamato is a weakling.

"Yamato, since you saved me and Boss Kaido, I don't want to fight you right now. Get out of my way."

As Sasaki issued his warning, he gripped the hilt of a knife tightly, ready to strike.

As for "Drought" Jack, despite his disheveled appearance, he still exuded a fierce aura, as if he could crush Yamato, who was less than half his size, at any moment.

The expressions of the surrounding Beasts Pirates members gradually turned fierce.

Having been briefly captured by the Revolutionary Army for a few days, their pent-up anger was ready to erupt at any moment. Given Yamato's negligible prestige within the "Beasts Pirates," it was impossible to quell their anger with mere favors.

Just as the battle between the two sides was about to erupt into full force, Yann's leisurely figure appeared not far behind Yamato, watching the group of incredibly fierce remnants of the "Beast Pirates" with a playful gaze.

In an instant, "Drought" Jack and Sasaki both took a step back, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
