Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"The bloodline of the Don Quixote family... I never imagined they would make such a choice..."

"Should we stop Corazon? After all, he is... If he were to have a child with Charlotte Linlin, it would be an insult to the Celestial Dragons."

"The 'Big Mom Pirates' have already announced this to the seas. If the Navy intervenes, it might lead to Charlotte Linlin directly attacking the 'G-9' branch in Wano Country. Coupled with the Revolutionary Army's watchful eye, there are too many uncontrollable factors..."

……

Amidst the intense anticipation of the entire ocean, the wedding date of the "BIG MOM Pirates" is drawing ever closer.

On Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin stared wide-eyed, her mouth bloodshot. Even as she stuffed large amounts of desserts and cakes into her mouth, saliva continued to flow uncontrollably. Her tongue, longer than several normal people combined, would occasionally stick out and lick her lips, and she would laugh strangely and mutter to herself from time to time.

"Marriage, hehehe, the men of the Don Quixote family must be quite good..."

Faced with this terrifying scene, the members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" who were serving them didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Although Charlotte Linlin was in a state of joy and excitement almost every day as the wedding date drew closer, she was also unwilling to let anyone spoil her good mood and anticipation.

"Anything that stands in the way of the wedding, erase it!"

This was Charlotte Linlin's order, and to ensure that her new husband, Don Quixote Rosinante, arrived at Whole Cake Island on time, Charlotte Linlin even dispatched the remaining two "Sweet Commanders," Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Smoothie, to greet Corazon.

……

Not far from Charlotte Linlin's room, a large group of officials, led by "Candy Minister" Charlotte Perospero, were holding a meeting.

"Mom seems a bit unstable. She's too excited and looking forward to the wedding. If anything unexpected happens at the wedding, it might trigger a breakdown on her part..."

Charlotte Daifuku, the third son and known as the "Bean Minister," spoke with a calm tone, expressing her concern.

Charlotte Owen, the "Baking Minister" with fiery red hair and the user of the "Heat-Heat Fruit," shrugged and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. He's a man from the Don Quixote family, and the famous 'Holy Crying Mantis' Corazon. It's perfectly normal for Mom to feel happy and excited about it."

"If the wedding goes well, we might soon have a younger brother or sister with incredible talent," said Charlotte Amander, the "Minister of Nuts" with snake-head features, in a cold tone.

Listening to his younger siblings' chatter, Perospero tapped his cane and said.

"The prosperity of the family is Mom's dream, and this wedding is extremely important. Besides being careful to prevent other forces from sabotaging the wedding, we must also make sure that the wedding cake, which Mom personally selected, is made to be completed."

“Understood, Brother Perospero. So far, of the fifteen fleets that left the World Ocean to collect cake ingredients, ten have reported that they have successfully completed their missions,” Charlotte Daifuku replied.

"That's good……"

Perospero nodded, then looked at Charlotte Comppert, the eldest daughter and "Minister of Fruits," and asked, "Comppert, what's going on with Cracker and Snag? Haven't we been able to contact them yet?"

“No,” Charlotte Comppert shook her head and replied.

Perospero frowned and muttered, "Could it be... that something happened to them?"

"Should we tell Mom about this?" Charlotte Comppert asked.

Perospero hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It would be too serious to upset Mom now. Besides, Cracker and Snack are too strong to be taken down quietly. They might be in a special area where they can't be contacted by Den Den Mushi right now. Let's wait and see. If there's still no news after the wedding, then we'll report back to Mom."

The remaining members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" had no objections whatsoever.

After all, in Charlotte Linlin's rage and berserk state, it wouldn't be uncommon for her own children to be swallowed whole.

Therefore, even if it is necessary to report the fact that Cracker and Snag have lost contact, it is necessary to choose an appropriate time to do so.

Then, Perospero continued, "According to Katakuri's report, our new father will soon arrive in the Whole Cake Island. Prepare to welcome him..."

……

Not far from the World's Ocean, Corazon gazed at the vast expanse of the ocean, his clown-painted mouth twitching uncontrollably as he nervously swallowed...

If the place most longed for by men across the ocean is Amazon Lily, also known as "Daughter Island," then the place most feared is Charlotte Linlin's bed.

Now, Corazon felt as if he were heading towards that place...

'Yarn, you bastard, don't you dare let me down!!!'

[Chapter 592. The Imitation Fruit]

Meanwhile, Enel, on whom Corazon had placed high hopes, was still in the G-9 branch's ward, communicating with Enel.

"Enel, have you received the Vivre Card yet?"

"Follow the directions indicated by the Vivre Card and see where Sora and Hikari have gone?"

"Yes, as soon as possible..."

Having searched for so long without finding any trace of Sora and Luminosity in Wano Country, Aon finally couldn't contain himself any longer.

However, there was no way for Arn to leave the G-9 branch quietly for an extended period of time, so the only way was for Enel to search for him in the Ark Maxim.

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and the nurse who had been primarily responsible for Yann's condition walked in.

Unlike before, when she walked straight to the bedside, this nurse's gaze was fixed on Yann's direction, her eyes filled with absolute terror, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"Gurgle~"

The nurse's throat moved, and a distinct sound of swallowing saliva rang out.

The atmosphere in the ward seemed to freeze for a moment. The nurse's expression subtly changed, and her hand holding the ward door trembled a few times.

"Hit... disturb..."

Immediately, the nurse slowly tried to close the ward door.

Just then, Yann, whose expression remained unchanged, spoke up.

"Come in, you've come to the right place."

The nurse froze, her pupils contracting sharply, as if the shock of those words was even more terrifying than seeing Ya'en.

Yaon hung up the Den Den Mushi, handed it to Kogane, then beckoned to the nurse and said.

"Come in."

Faced with Yann's seemingly unquestionable command, the nurse subconsciously walked in, and closed the ward door behind her.

Yaen stood up and walked straight to the nurse, scrutinizing every inch of her body with an inquisitive gaze—her eyes, nose, mouth, waist…

"Say something and let me see," Yann said.

The nurse swallowed again, asking nervously, "Is...that's how it is...?"

"Not only in appearance, but even in voice, there wasn't the slightest flaw..."

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Yann's eyes as he spoke.

“Indeed, it is a perfect ability to imitate, von Klay.”

Hearing that Yann had clearly stated his understanding, von Clay, who was maintaining his nurse's appearance, breathed a long sigh of relief. After his figure blurred for a moment, he revealed his true form.

Wearing a pink ballet coat, with her bangs still in place, heavy makeup, and false eyelashes, her tall and slender figure revealed two hairy calves.

It was Bon Clay, a former member of Baroque Works in the Alabasta Kingdom, a user of the Imitation Fruit, and who called himself a "Kabaneri."

Immediately, von Clay, who had revealed his true colors, cautiously asked Arn, "Could it be... that the person who was to meet with me... is the master?"

Yern patted von Clay on the shoulder and said gently, "There's no need to be so formal. We're just comrades fighting for the same ideal."

"Yes!"

Even though von Clay agreed, his body still tensed up instinctively in front of Yern.

This "naval hero" Tefimer Yann is actually... also a comrade in the organization?!

This...is just how unbelievable, and what a shocking truth it is!

After von Clay successfully infiltrated a ward in the G-9 branch following Dragon's orders and the instructions of the plan, even now that Yann has personally admitted that he is von Clay's mission contact, von Clay still feels dizzy and disbelief fills his mind.

It was just a casual speculation, but if that "Naval Hero" Tefier Yann was also a member of the organization, then even Bon Clay would understand that all the wars the organization waged against the Navy in Wano Country might have been orchestrated and arranged to achieve certain goals.

This fact is...astonishing...

Before von Clay could think any further, Yorn asked in a gentle tone, "Did Dragon tell you the specifics of this mission?"

“No, no,” von Clay replied repeatedly.

"Um……"

Yone nodded, gesturing for von Clay to sit on the hospital bed, and then said, "Actually, your task is very simple: imitate my appearance and stay in the G-9 branch in my place. Can you do that?"

Von Clay blinked and nodded.

Immediately after Von Clay's right hand touched Yorn's body, its appearance changed rapidly. Almost instantly, two Yorns who looked almost identical appeared in the ward.

Carefully examining the appearance transformed by von Clay, even Arn himself could not find any flaws. The only difference was in their temperament; von Clay and Arn were completely different.

"You need to imitate a gentler demeanor, restrain unnecessary emotions in your eyes, and maintain a mindset of showing goodwill towards others. Only in this way can your eyes appear approachable and gentle..."

Based on his experience accumulated over the years, Yann gave von Clay a temperamental lesson.

In addition, Yone also made von Clay remember the manner, tone, and habits he should display when facing different people in the G-9 branch.

After all, Yone's "Soul-Slaying Blade: Mirror Flower Water Moon" did not completely control everyone. Major General Hope and the CP9 members, who were not "absolutely hypnotized," would visit Yone regularly.

Therefore, if Yann wants to leave the G-9 branch, the only way is to have von Clay impersonate him and create the illusion that he is still in the G-9 branch.

After the Alabasta incident, von Clay quickly joined the Revolutionary Army and became a subordinate of Ivankov, the "Transvestite King" whom he admired.

After six years of getting to know him, the high command of the Revolutionary Army unanimously agreed that von Clay, who appeared to be a transvestite but actually followed the code of brotherhood and loyalty, was a trustworthy comrade in the Revolutionary Army.

Finally, Yann summarized to von Clay.

"Apart from the people mentioned above, I will deal with everyone else by adapting to the situation based on my gentle nature, understand?"

"Yes."

Maintaining his Yone appearance, Von Clay adjusted his glasses and said in a gentle tone, "I won't give myself away."

[Chapter 593. The Special Physique That Makes Him Hit Every Time]

As Kogane soared from the G-9 branch and headed towards the World Oceans, Corazon had already arrived at Cake Island, which resembled a large number of cakes stacked on top of each other.

"boom!"

As the sound of ships docking rang out, Charlotte Katakuri, arms crossed and a cool expression, walked to Corazon's side and spoke.

"arrive."

"Ah."

Corazon nodded, his eyes flickered slightly, but he disembarked with a bright smile.
