Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Once I rejoin the main naval force, I will report this news to the Navy Headquarters and the World Government as soon as possible, and then try my best to locate the Revolutionary Army laboratory..."

After a pause, Yamato continued, "For Yamato's sake, I will inform him as soon as possible if there is any news."

Hearing Yaon's words, which were quite flattering and even went against his own principles, Yamato was deeply moved and patted Yaon on the shoulder, saying...

"Thanks, Yern!"

With a hint of shame on his face, Yann said, "You're welcome. My intention wasn't to rescue the pirates; it was merely to strike at the Revolutionary Army."

Immediately, Yamato put one hand on his hip and used the other to lecture the remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" in front of him.

"So you heard that, right? Yann will do his best to find King and Queen, but you guys want to cause a ruckus in Wano Country, that's just to vent your anger."

“Maybe their laboratory is in Wano Country? The outskirts of Wano Country are surrounded by extremely harsh weather, and unless you know a special way, it’s difficult for any ship to leave unimpeded. So their laboratory is in Wano Country,” Sasaki retorted somewhat unconvinced.

"Nonsense..."

Yamato retorted without hesitation, “You’ve ravaged Wano Country for so many years, how could the Revolutionary Army possibly have had the opportunity to secretly establish a laboratory there beforehand?”

Upon hearing this, the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" present were speechless.

It has to be said that Yamato, who has a relatively good understanding of the "Beasts Pirates," immediately hit the nail on the head regarding the deepest thoughts in these guys' hearts.

Besides wanting to take the opportunity to rescue their comrades, they were also motivated by a desire to retaliate against the revolutionary army and vent their anger.

"Really? I see..."

Yann, stroking his chin, spoke up. "If that's the case, then we can't just leave you guys completely unattended."

Immediately, Yann drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and calmly said, "Either you die by my blade, or you come with me wearing sea stone chains."

[Chapter 542. The Imminent Wano Country War]

In an instant, the faces of the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" present changed.

Death is not what pirates pursue; what they pursue, besides various desires, is so-called freedom.

They had just regained their freedom thanks to Yamato's release, and to put them back in sea stone handcuffs as prisoners of the navy was almost unacceptable.

only……

Seeing Arn's expression gradually turn cold, the remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" swallowed hard, but they also understood that based on Jack and Sasaki's reactions to Arn, they were almost certainly no match for this man.

However, as these remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" turned their gazes, they quickly noticed Yamato's presence, and their eyes immediately lit up.

"Hey, no, Lord Yamato, we're comrades."

"Lord Yamato, you can't just abandon us..."

"Help! Lord Yamato!"

……

In an instant, many remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" cried out to Yamato for help.

However, Yamato frowned and said with dissatisfaction.

"Who said I'm your comrade? I've never officially joined the 'Beasts Pirates.' In the past, the 'Beasts Pirates' were the ones I wanted to defeat."

These words sent a chill down the spines of the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" present.

Upon seeing this, Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke to Yamato.

"Really? So you didn't intend to shelter these guys. If that's the case, I'm relieved. Otherwise, out of consideration for your kindness, I really wouldn't be able to deal with them."

In an instant, the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" became even more panicked and their requests to Yamato became even more fervent.

Yamato's expression remained unchanged, and he made no attempt to hide his disgust for the "Beasts Pirates".

Until one of the pirates spoke up.

"Lord Yamato, aren't you also trying to deal with the Revolutionary Army? We are an indispensable fighting force..."

Upon hearing this, Yamato's expression finally softened.

Yamato's initial idea was indeed to find a way to gather more strength to drive the Revolutionary Army out of Wano Country.

Although Yamato now knows that the World Government seems to be eyeing Wano Country with hostility, and even if the Revolutionary Army is driven out, it may not necessarily lead to a better outcome, it is still essential to gather enough power under his command.

Yamato fell into deep thought before speaking as if he had made up his mind.

"It's not impossible to get my protection, but it absolutely cannot be in the name of the 'Beasts Pirates'."

Immediately, Yamato paused, his "Conqueror's Haki" unconsciously manifesting as he loudly announced.

"Samurai Order, I will be establishing a 'Beast Warrior Order'. If you are willing to abandon your identity as the 'Beast Pirates', then I will allow you to join my 'Beast Warrior Order'."

For a moment, the remaining members of the "Beasts Pirates" present were all stunned.

For these pirates, the "Beasts Pirates" was a name they were once proud of. Although the "Beasts Pirates" are now practically wiped out, the thought of abandoning the name on their own initiative still caused hesitation to show on their faces.

Yamato turned to Arn and asked.

“Hey, Yann, why don’t you join the ‘Beast Warriors’? I’ll save you a vice-leader position.”

Arn's expression twitched subtly, and he refused. "No, I'm not interested in becoming a samurai..."

After a pause, Yann's gaze swept over the remnants of the "Beasts Pirates" in front of him before he spoke.

"However, if these remnants of the sea are willing to abandon their pirate identities and follow you into a respectable life, I can reluctantly pretend I've never seen them."

As Yann uttered those words, it was as if the last straw had broken the camel's back.

Compared to death or being thrown into Impel Down, following Yamato, the daughter of former Governor Kaido, doesn't seem like such an unacceptable outcome.

In a short time, many remnants of the "Beast Pirates" voluntarily and enthusiastically joined Yamato's newly established "Beast Warriors".

Finally, Yamato turned his gaze to Jack and Sasaki, who had remained silent all along...

……

Meanwhile, the situation in Wano Country is also becoming increasingly turbulent.

With the Navy successfully establishing itself in the Kuri region of Wano Country, it dispatched a large number of naval personnel along the coastline to search for Aon, while also continuously gathering intelligence on Wano Country and the Revolutionary Army.

After nearly a day of investigation, with a large number of naval intelligence personnel and even Admiral Borsalino personally involved, a large amount of intelligence was gathered in the hands of Vice Admiral Tsuru, allowing him to make a basic assessment of the situation in Wano Country.

This is a crucial time when the Revolutionary Army has eliminated the Beasts Pirates and overthrown the current Shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi, and is frantically trying to seize the land of Wano Country.

However, even though the Revolutionary Army has the prestige to eliminate the "Beasts Pirates", as outsiders, they are still instinctively resisted by the local forces of "Wano Country".

In particular, the Revolutionary Army's eagerness to seize land and control the government led to the emergence of resistance forces of varying sizes throughout Wano Country.

Compared to the Revolutionary Army, the waves that the local resistance forces in Wano Country could stir up were simply too insignificant.

If there is no interference from other forces, it will only take a week at most for the Revolutionary Army to sweep away all local resistance waves and bring all areas of Wano Country under its initial control, except for the Kuri region.

"We cannot allow the Revolutionary Army to establish a firm foothold in Wano Country, otherwise the threat posed by the Revolutionary Army will be even more serious than that of the Beasts Pirates!"

At the emergency meeting convened by Vice Admiral Tsuru, the image projected by the video Den Den Mushi showed the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who looked extremely tired and even had slightly red eyes, clearly shouting.

"Although Lieutenant General Yann's whereabouts are still unknown, we can't wait any longer, Lieutenant General Tsuru..."

"Yes," Lieutenant General Tsuru stood up and replied.

The Warring States Marshal's expression also turned solemn as he gave the order.

"This time, the Wano Country operation force will still be under your full command. You must prevent the Revolutionary Army from occupying Wano Country. Otherwise, with the natural barrier of the outer sea, it may very well breed a crisis that threatens the peace of the entire ocean."

"In addition, it will only take five days at most for Vice Admiral Garp and three CP0 squads to arrive in Wano Country as reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, the naval officers present were immediately struck by a jolt.

"Justice will prevail!!!"

[Chapter 543. Where Did Dad Go?]

As the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hung up the emergency military meeting, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, sitting in his office at Marineford, almost instantly collapsed, his expression changing from resolute and dignified to utterly exhausted and dejected.

"Ya'en, you bastard, where the hell have you been?"

Marshal Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the desk, his tone filled with complex emotions.

From childhood to adulthood, this brat has never given me a moment's peace!

He was frail and sickly as a child, but as he grew up, he gradually became one of the strongest warriors on the sea. However, he still encountered many accidents, and now he has even gone missing in a shipwreck...

And it was precisely because of this that Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly realized that the bastard's combat power had become an indispensable part of the navy.

If Yann hadn't been shipwrecked and gone missing, then with Yann and Borsalino working together, it wouldn't have been impossible for them to drive the Revolutionary Army out of Wano Country, or even annihilate them.

However, with Borsalino being the only top-tier fighter, the situation becomes quite complicated.

Currently, the only top-tier combat force that can be mobilized in the entire "New World" sea area is Vice Admiral Garp.

However, Fleet Admiral Sengoku had not forgotten the father-son relationship between Vice Admiral Garp and Dragon, so it was obviously unrealistic to expect Vice Admiral Garp to go all out against Dragon.

Therefore, even if Vice Admiral Garp were to arrive in Wano Country, it would only serve as a guarantee that the naval force would not be destroyed.

"Fortunately, the World Government seems to value the Revolutionary Army quite a bit, dispatching three CP0 teams to provide assistance at once. Perhaps this will be the decisive factor..."

"However, the most important thing now is to rely on Vice Admiral Tsuru. Under no circumstances can we allow the Revolutionary Army to actually gain control of Wano Country. Otherwise, if the Revolutionary Army monopolizes the Seastone resources, given Dragon's dangerous ideas in the past, he will definitely try to overthrow the sea."

"However, the longer that naval force is isolated overseas, the greater the variables will become..."

Just as Fleet Admiral Sengoku was forcing himself to stay alert, pondering the predicament of Wano Country and considering how to transfer more forces from the Navy Headquarters to provide support.

"Dong dong dong..."

A series of urgent knocks sounded, and then the office door was opened.

Sensing this rude behavior, Marshal Sengoku quickly covered up the confidential documents about the operation on the table while frowning angrily and rebuking him.

"Didn't I say not to bother me unless it's urgent..."

However, when the Warring States Marshal saw the figure standing at the door, his voice suddenly stopped.

Sora and Ying stood side by side at the doorway, their faces streaked with tears, their reddened eyes seeming as if they might spill tears at any moment.

Marshal Sengoku's face twitched violently, then he forced a smile and said, "Kong, Ying, what brings you here? Didn't Grandpa say he'd be back to be with you as soon as possible tonight?"

"dad……"

Ying's lips trembled slightly as she sobbed, "Where did Daddy go? I want Daddy."
