Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Naval Hero" Terfim Yarn!

Why is this man here?!

As officers who participated in the war waged by the Navy against the Beasts Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates, Jack the Drought and Sasaki were filled with terror at this moment.

In the past, Jack the Drought would never have taken the so-called Navy seriously, but after witnessing the battle between Yann and Shanks, Jack the Drought now fully understands that the man in front of him is not on the same level as himself.

[Chapter 540. Admit our relationship]

Yamato, however, was completely oblivious to the expressions on Jack and Sasaki's faces. Instead, he raised his spiked club, struck a bold pose, and spoke with great momentum.

"Come on, Jack, Sasaki, I've wanted to teach you two bastards a lesson for a long time."

Contrary to Yamato's expectations that Jack and Sasaki would act without hesitation, Jack and Sasaki took another step back.

Yamato frowned slightly and shouted.

"What are you two bastards trying to do? You're neither fighting nor backing down?"

Unlike Jack and Sasaki, the remaining members of the Beasts Pirates could not recognize Aon's appearance instantly, let alone deeply experience Aon's terrifying strength, which was comparable to that of Kaido of the Beasts and Shanks of the Red Hair.

To the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates," Arn was just an ordinary little marine who appeared out of nowhere, and they didn't connect Jack and Sasaki's strange behavior with Arn at all.

Immediately, the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" subconsciously started shouting under Yamato's provocation.

"Hey, Yamato, don't be so arrogant. Boss Jack and Boss Sasaki didn't make a move only because of Boss Kaido."

"That's right, if you don't move out of the way within three shouts, I'll kill you."

"Not only will I kill you, but what are you looking at, you navy guys over there? Even if you're gathering intelligence, don't get so close. Get the hell out of here, or I bet you'll get one too..."

However, before the remnant of the "Beasts Pirates" could finish speaking, a huge elbow slammed into his face, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words and sending him flying dozens of meters away.

"You bunch of bastards, shut up!"

Jack's expression was particularly terrifying as he swept his gaze over the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" beside him, exuding an extremely fierce aura as he warned them.

In an instant, the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" were completely stunned, even though they had no idea why "Drought" Jack was angry.

However, the next moment, under the wide-eyed stares of the remaining Beast Pirates, Jack the Drought suddenly knelt down in the direction of Yamato.

???

Yamato.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of Yamato and the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates," Jack spoke loudly.

"Please help me rescue Kaido, King, and Queen from the Revolutionary Army. I'm willing to pay any price if you're willing to help."

"what???"

Yamato stared at Jack, whose attitude had completely changed, his expression a mix of surprise and bewilderment. "Jack, even if you say that, I..."

Before Yamato could finish speaking, Jack interrupted him, saying, "Yamato, don't interrupt..."

However, before Jack could finish speaking, he noticed that Yann, who was standing not far away with his arms crossed as if he were an observer, had a slightly darkened expression. The warning was obvious, which shut Jack up and stopped him from saying anything more.

Noticing Jack's obvious change in expression, Yamato suddenly turned around and noticed Arn standing not far behind him.

Immediately, Yamato realized something, pointed at Arn, then at Jack, and asked blankly.

"Jack... Jack, was I just asking you... for something?"

"probably."

Yann shrugged and said dismissively.

"For a pirate like Jack, who's just scraps of the sea, his loyalty and sense of honor are commendable. However, he's not very quick-witted..."

As he spoke, Yann stepped closer to Yamato and began to speak.

"Jack, are you mistaken? As a Marine, why would I go out of my way to rescue pirates? To rescue those two guys and then imprison you both in Impel Down?"

Upon hearing Arn's reply, Yamato's expression twitched slightly as he said, "Arn, are you spouting nonsense again?"

"I'm telling you, what will it take for you to believe that I'm even a little bit stronger than you think..." Yann asked helplessly.

Yamato curled his lip and said dismissively.

"Tsk, do you really think I'm an idiot? Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to just pick up a strong person on the beach, right? And if you were really strong, you wouldn't be so stupid as to get into a shipwreck and almost drown."

Hearing Yamato's words, Aon began to look at Yamato with new respect.

She seems like a fool, but not entirely foolish.

Witnessing the seemingly unusual interaction between Aon and Yamato, Sasaki felt a glimmer of hope.

This woman, whom I used to look down on, seems to have really met someone extraordinary this time!

If Vice Admiral Yann were grateful for Yamato's kindness and willing to lend his power to fight the Revolutionary Army, then rescuing the two leaders, "The Wildfire" King and "The Plague" Queen, wouldn't be impossible.

Immediately, Sasaki took a step towards Yamato, his previous disheveled yet defiant expression transforming into one of flattery and respect. He unconsciously rubbed his little hands together and asked Yamato.

"Yamato, what's your relationship with this Lieutenant General Yann like?"

Yamato tilted his head slightly, pointed his thumb at Arn, and said with a magnanimous expression, "He's my little brother. Just tell me what you need."

Upon hearing this, not only did Yann's expression become strange, but Jack and Sasaki were also visibly shocked, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

Vice Admiral Aon, nicknamed "Sakura Dragon" and a "naval hero," is actually... Yamato's underling?

Seeing the incredulous expressions on Jack and Sasaki's faces, Yamato smacked Arn in the chest with his elbow and said.

"Hey, say something."

"What do you want me to say?" Yann asked, his mouth twitching.

"Of course, it means acknowledging the relationship between you and me."

As he spoke, Yamato turned his head to the side of Arn and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"You wouldn't be so disrespectful, would you? I just covered my chest up for the first time because of you."

???

Ya'en.

Hey, hey, hey, don't talk so easily that you cause misunderstandings, okay?

If Hancock heard this, she'd probably rush to Wano Country and kill you...

Yaen couldn't help but internally complain.

As Yann's gaze shifted, he noticed that Jack and Sasaki's expressions were becoming increasingly shocked and bizarre, while the expressions of the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" were also quite interesting.

"Uh……"

Yann shrugged and said.

"In short, my relationship with Yamato is quite pure. She saved my life, so as a member of the Navy, I didn't arrest you on the spot. Be grateful, you scum of the sea."

_________

P.S.: I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to leave home today. I'll be taking a short break, so there may only be two updates today and tomorrow.

[Chapter 541. Research Project on Biological Evolutionary Factors]

"But...but..."

As Yaen's words reached their ears, and he subtly rejected the proposal, both Jack and Sasaki couldn't help but show expressions of resentment.

Yamato slammed his spiked club on the ground and asked Jack and Sasaki, "Speaking of which, what exactly happened on 'Oni Island'?"

Jack, who had simply rolled over and collapsed to the ground, spoke, clinging to his last glimmer of hope.

"This time, under Kaido's leadership, we fought the 'Red-Haired Pirates' on a deserted island near Wano Country. After more than a day of fierce fighting, just when it seemed that Kaido was about to win..."

Jack clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the ground, saying.

"The Navy launched a humiliating attack on us and the 'Red-Haired Pirates'..."

At this point, Jack, noticing Yann's presence, paused and then stammered a correction.

"We... launched an operation. Due to being outnumbered, Boss Kaido led me, Sasaki, and some of the other officers to retreat from the battlefield and return to Wano Country."

Upon hearing this, Yamato turned to look at Arn, who nodded in agreement, confirming the truth of what Jack had said.

"The Navy and pirates are inherently hostile entities. The result of that war was indeed that Kaido, in his Azure Dragon form, fled in a sorry state with a group of his officers. It was precisely because of this that the Navy conceived the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to completely annihilate the 'Beasts Pirates,' which is why I accidentally drowned when the Navy fleet encountered a shipwreck."

Jack didn't dare to refute Yarrow, but simply recounted what happened next.

"What awaited us in Wano Country was the Revolutionary Army, which had already captured Onigashima. Under the suppression of that man named Issho, many of the exhausted and seriously injured executives, including King and Queen, fell one after another, leaving only Kaido still fighting fiercely with Dragon."

"but……"

Jack raised his eyes, clenched his fists, and said, "Boss Kaido is definitely not dead yet, and King, Queen, and most of the other officers are still alive."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Yann asked calmly.

"Because I woke up earlier than the Revolutionary Army expected while I was unconscious, I witnessed them taking away Brother Jin, Brother Quinn, and some other cadres. According to the conversations of those Revolutionary Army members, their destination was some kind of laboratory, and they wanted to use Brother Jin and Brother Quinn as experimental subjects."

Jack said through gritted teeth.

"As for Boss Kaido, it must be the same. Boss Kaido's physique and vitality are so terrifying that it is absolutely impossible for him to be killed."

"Really? The Revolutionary Army is actually conducting such heinous human experiments in secret? It seems necessary to report this to the World Government and raise the danger level of the Revolutionary Army once again."

Yaon pushed up his glasses, and while rebuking the Revolutionary Army for their actions, he asked a question.

"Besides these, have you heard any other important information? For example, the destination, the route, and the combat strength of the guards. If it is valuable information, it may be helpful in rescuing Jhin and Queen."

Upon hearing this, Jack racked his brains, but shook his head helplessly as he frowned.

Seeing this, Yann looked regretful and gave up the idea of ​​sending Jack over to keep Jhin and Queen company.

It seems that the tough-skinned Jack did wake up earlier than expected, but it was probably just from some information he overheard from the Revolutionary Army members who were escorting King and Queen.

It's harmless.

As for the so-called experiment, it was naturally an experiment led by Luo, now officially named the "Biological Evolution Factor Research Project".

As for using the Beasts Pirates' executives, including Kaido the Beasts, as experimental subjects, Yann didn't see anything wrong with it.

When those villains wreak havoc on the sea with their power, spreading slaughter and fear, they should be prepared to be killed as well. Not to mention that Arn is letting them use their last bit of energy to make an effective sacrifice for the future of this sea.

"Well, there's nothing we can do then, Jack..."

Yann sighed and said in a comforting tone.
