Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Even though Yann retracted his pure white wings that were wrapped around him the instant the fist landed, seemingly creating a considerable blocking effect, he was still sent flying with a bang.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

During the half-day battle between Yann and Drag, Yann was blasted away in an extremely disheveled manner for the first time, flying hundreds of meters before barely coming to a stop.

"Hehehe..."

Amidst the angry gazes of numerous navy personnel, Corazon hoisted the giant scythe onto his shoulder, his clown-painted mouth grinning into an exaggerated smile.

"How did that blow taste for my foolish navy brother?"

"Corazon..." Yann clutched his chest, blood streaming from his mouth.

Gion, enraged, drew her legendary sword, Kinpira, and pointed it at Corazon, shouting, "Corazon, what do you want? Do you want to be stripped of your Shichibukai status?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't scare me."

Corazon responded to the navy's anger with a disdainful look and spoke.

"This is my territory. It is your navy that has damaged my territory. I am just retaliating in a reasonable way."

"What do you mean, your territory?!" Gion demanded.

Dragon took two steps forward and stood beside Corazon, announcing, "At the cost of a portion of the Flower Capital and the White Dance region, Corazon is now a temporary ally of the Revolutionary Army."

The next moment, in a corner of the battlefield, members of the Donquixote Family also began to forcefully break in, launching an attack on the Navy as reinforcements for the Revolutionary Army, shifting the previously tense situation on the battlefield.

"You resort to such petty tricks? Corazon, do you want the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa to be destroyed?" Gion questioned sharply.

“Vice Admiral Gion, you promised me that I could take over the Wano Country region by my own abilities.”

Corazon shrugged and began to speak.

"Now that the Revolutionary Army is the ruler of Wano Country, Mr. Dragon felt that he did not need so much land, so he gave me some of the land. Isn't that a perfectly reasonable thing to do?"

"So, your navy has now trespassed on my territory. If you know what's good for you, leave immediately, or don't blame me..."

At this point, Corazon grinned, revealing a chillingly white smile. "He's gone on a killing spree!"

Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade - Holy Crying Mantis... Release!

As Corazon finished speaking, his form rapidly changed. A bunch of irregular sharp horns appeared on his head, and he gained an extra arm. Not every arm gripped a giant, grotesque scythe, and an aura of awe suddenly erupted from him.

"This posture..."

Gion's expression immediately turned serious.

After Corazon's outburst against Tiger in Mary Geoise, Corazon's ability to briefly block the former Fleet Admiral and current World Government Commander-in-Chief, Kong, was classified as extremely dangerous by the Navy.

According to the intelligence gathered by Steelbone Sky Battle, in this stance, Corazon's body hardness, speed, and strength are greatly enhanced, and the slashes he unleashes can reach the level of a great swordsman. Even an admiral might not be able to take him down with absolute certainty.

"This is troublesome!"

Gion tightened her grip on the "Famous Sword - Kinpira," realizing that she was likely no match for Corazon, but Gion had already made up her mind that she would not allow this guy to interfere with Arn's battle.

However, at that moment, Yan raised his hand towards Gion, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Don't interfere!"

“But…” Gion.

“Gion, this kind of battle is a little too early for you. Leave it to me, I…”

As Yann was speaking, he suddenly coughed and vomited mouthfuls of blood.

"Oops!"

In an instant, the navy witnessing this scene realized that the problem was serious.

Just now, under Corazon's sneak attack, Lieutenant General Yann took the brunt of Dorrag's storm-like punch head-on, and may be seriously injured.

Upon seeing this, Corazon laughed with a mixture of sarcasm and pleasure.

"Hahaha, my foolish, righteous little brother, don't be stubborn. If I could, I wouldn't want to kill this so-called naval hero like this, otherwise the navy will come after me."

Without wasting a single word, Dragon moved swiftly, covering hundreds of meters in an instant, and his fist slammed down towards Arn like a storm, seemingly poised to seize the opportunity to kill him.

"boom!"

With a single punch, the earth collapsed.

Unable to stop coughing up blood, Yann dodged Dragon's attack in a disheveled manner, and then swung his White Emperor Sword down at Dragon.

"clang!"

However, this attack, which could have posed a threat to Dragon, was blocked by the combined force of four interlocking scythes.

Corazon's mocking, somewhat strained voice rang out. "That was quite a heavy blow, Yorn, but..."

Centered on Dragon, another hurricane rose, instantly engulfing Yann, who had been briefly held back by Corazon.

"Damn Corazon!!!"

Seeing this, Gion no longer hesitated. While signaling Momonga to order the navy to retreat, she flashed forward and headed straight at the towering hurricane.

"My Flow - The Wind of Pira"

However, just as Gion unleashed countless flying slashes, the sky on the other side suddenly turned white, and an extremely cold wave of air rolled towards that hurricane.

"Unservant Ice Fang!"

[Chapter 557. Yamato's Appearance]

The frenzied flying slashes and the extremely cold "Unyielding Ice Fang" clashed, instantly tearing apart the soaring hurricane.

"boom!"

A massive shockwave exploded in all directions, and Yann flashed out of it, instantly appearing in front of the Navy.

"Cough cough... Splash~~"

Another violent coughing fit ensued, and Yann's face turned as white as a sheet as he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

This scene caught the attention of many intelligence personnel observing the battle from afar, and they realized that the rumors about Lieutenant General Yann being sickly and physically weak in his childhood were not untrue.

Looking back now, the sudden disparity among intelligence personnel was a stark contrast to the extreme polarization that had characterized Lieutenant General Yann's past battles.

The choice is either to win the battle unscathed, or to be defeated and captured...

In other words, this monstrous man's weakness always lay in his physique; his physical weakness made him far less resistant to attacks than other strong individuals of the same level.

Meanwhile, some of the vice admirals who had gradually recovered during the half-day battle between Yann and Dragon saw this and jumped in front of Yann, trying to stop Dragon's pursuit.

"You...you all..."

Yann wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the vice admirals in front of him, and said in a voice that was hard to hide his weakness.

"You are no match for Dragon. Get out of my way, I haven't been defeated yet!"

Just as the lieutenant generals were about to persuade Aon, a white-bodied Yamato, maintaining the form of the "Great Mouth True God" and wreathed in flames, descended from the sky and landed not far from Aon.

Immediately, Yamato slowly transformed from his beast form into a human-beast form. While retaining many of the characteristics of the "Big Mouth True God" form, he stood up like a human, hoisted his spiked club onto his shoulder, and said in a cheerful tone.

"Ya'en, you really are a weakling. You've only been away from me for less than a day, and you're already injured like this!"

In an instant, almost all the vice admirals turned their angry gazes toward Yamato.

For the Navy today, Arn, as a "naval hero," is practically the representative figure of the Navy. To mock Arn's weakness is undoubtedly tantamount to a provocation against the entire Navy.

Seeing this, Yamato did not back down at all, but instead said boldly, "What? Want to fight? You bunch of bastard marines who have ruined the peace of Wano Country."

As Yamato finished speaking, on one side of the battlefield, led by Jack in his "Ancient Zoan Mammoth" form and Sasaki in his "Ancient Zoan Triceratops" form, the "Beast Warriors" charged powerfully behind Yamato. At this moment, the "Beast Warriors" seemed to have some of the momentum of the "Beast Pirates" when they launched their full-scale attack in the past.

"Those are...the Beasts Pirates?!"

Almost instantly, the Navy recognized Jack and Sasaki and became alert. Some of the Navy Vice Admirals directly pointed their weapons at Yamato, who was standing in front of the "Beast Warriors".

"No... don't be nervous..."

Yann took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the vice admirals. After a short rest, his complexion seemed to have improved considerably, and he spoke.

"The woman in front of me is called Yamato. She was the one who saved me when I was shipwrecked. Although she has Kaido's bloodline, she is not a pirate. She should be considered a samurai from Wano Country."

Immediately, a significant number of naval officers looked at Yamato with much more amiable eyes.

However, Yamato was quite dissatisfied with Arn's introduction, and slammed his spiked club on the ground, saying in a very imposing manner.

"What do you mean by being considered a samurai of Wano Country? I am Kozuki Oden, the current leader of the Beast Warriors, and a samurai who will one day reclaim peace for Wano Country!"

"So, Yamato, you've made up your mind and intend to take action?" Yaon asked.

"That's right!"

Immediately, Yamato leaped onto the head of the mammoth that Jack had transformed into, and loudly proclaimed, "You outsiders waging war in Wano Country should probably stop now!"

As Yamato finished speaking, a terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from Yamato, making him seem to become the center of the entire battlefield in an instant.

Who is that?

What does she want to do?

"what happened?"

Under the watchful eyes of a large number of naval and revolutionary soldiers, Yamato declared with domineering confidence.

"Wano Country shouldn't be a battlefield for you to wreak havoc. If you want to fight, then get out of Wano Country and fight on the open sea. Otherwise... let me be your opponent!"

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the Navy and the Revolutionary Army varied greatly, and their first thought was: Who... is this person? What gives him the right to say such things?

Among them, Lieutenant General Doberman, known for his exceptionally fiery temper, spoke without hesitation.

"Do you even understand that the Navy is here to help Wano Country drive out the Revolutionary Army? If you don't know anything, then get out of the way and stop getting in the way."

As for Dorag standing opposite, his tattooed face twitched menacingly as he said, "What? You managed to escape last time, and now you dare to come back and cause trouble again?"

In an instant, a barrage of contemptuous remarks reached Yamato's ears.

However, Yamato was already aware of these reactions.

Compared to Kozuki Oden's past act of sacrificing his dignity by performing a public humiliation to protect his people, this level of humiliation is nothing.

"I am a samurai who will inherit the will of Kozuki Oden, protect Wano Country, and bring peace to Wano Country!"

Yamato's amber eyes were brighter than ever before, and he was very clear that his "Beast Warriors" were still far behind the Revolutionary Army and the Navy.

but……

This is no reason to back down!
