Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Sensing Yann's gaze, Robin subconsciously shifted her eyes to the side, her little toes digging unconsciously into the ground as she spoke.

"Instead of aimlessly fleeing alone at sea, I might as well stop by and see Brother Yan."

……

Ya'en.

Girl, tell me the truth, can this really be considered a convenient route?

You should know that if you want to travel from the West Sea to the North Sea...

The fastest route requires traveling from the West Blue to the Grand Line, and then finding a way to return to the North Blue via the few available routes from the Grand Line. This already counts as going around the world in a small circle.

[Chapter 59: Keeping a Mistress in a Golden House]

Furthermore, being arrogant... is not acceptable!

Especially for a woman like you who is destined to become a mature and sophisticated woman, how can you act arrogantly as a semi-mature loli?

Looking at Robin, who didn't seem very honest, Yann could clearly sense that she was watching him out of the corner of her eye.

However, this is a difficult situation. As a member of the Navy, if Robin is brought back to Naval Base 521, she will likely be recognized by the other Navy members in an instant.

But if we find a reason to get rid of Robin...

Yann smacked his lips, feeling that he was acting more like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter, especially since Robin had been adrift at sea for six whole years before finding this place.

Robin seemed to sense Yann's predicament and took the initiative to speak up.

"Actually, Brother Ya En, you don't need to worry. I just happened to come and see you. I didn't mean anything by it."

"Really?" Yann asked in return.

Robin's lips instantly twitched slightly, but he managed to suppress it and replied nonchalantly, "Really."

A mischievous glint appeared in Yann's eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, be careful to hide when you leave. There are a lot of marines on the island, so don't get spotted."

Robin's eyes immediately froze, then he nodded stiffly, trying hard to suppress his expression, and then turned and walked out of the alley step by step.

After turning two corners, Robin suddenly pulled the hood of his cloak over his head completely, and large tears began to fall in a "plop plop" sound.

"You, you're lying, boohoo..."

Robin's six years of resilience crumbled instantly, and she felt an overwhelming sense of injustice. Tears streamed uncontrollably from her dark blue eyes hidden beneath her cloak and hood.

When Yann, who was quietly following behind Robin, saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel that he might have gone a little too far.

However, Robin is genuinely adorable and a bit arrogant at this stage, which makes Yan inexplicably wonder what it would be like to make her cry.

"Alright, alright, teasing me any further is going too far."

Yaen shook his head, then gestured to Xiao Jin.

"Chirp chirp chirp?" Little Jin asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Foolish bird, don’t you understand? Go, send Robin to the castle inside your body,” Yann explained.

"Chirp."

Little Gold responded, then spread a wing and swiftly flew over Robin's head, stopping in front of Robin with its mouth agape.

Wearing a hat and with her head down, Robin was completely unaware that her size was rapidly shrinking before she entered the castle through Little Gold's mouth.

However, as Robin walked, he stopped in his tracks and was surprised to find that the floor was completely different from that of a normal street.

Robin suddenly looked up, his moist eyes scanning his surroundings. What he saw was an ornate candlestick, flickering candlelight, warm murals, and a soft sofa...

"Welcome to my castle, Miss Robin."

A gentle voice sounded behind Robin. He placed a hand lightly on Robin's shoulder, ran his fingers across her face to wipe away her tears, and said...

"I'll allow you to live in my castle forever, so please stop crying."

Robin's expression first froze, then turned to surprise and joy. He felt as if everything before him was a dream, but he spoke as calmly as possible.

"Is Brother Yann deliberately toying with me? How could he have such a twisted sense of humor?"

? ? !

Ya'en.

Yann, who never expected Robin to say such things, almost choked on his own saliva on the spot.

"However, since this is Brother Yan's sincere invitation, I will reluctantly accept it."

Robin tilted his chin slightly, speaking in a rather hurried tone, as if afraid that Yann would change his mind.

Yaen shook his head helplessly, and fearing he would choke again, he said, "Alright, it seems I can only force you for a while."

Immediately, Yann grabbed Robin's little hand and gave her a brief introduction to the structure of the castle that existed inside Little Gold's body, and then arranged a room for Robin.

"Oh, by the way, there's a small library here, filled with all sorts of books I've collected over the years."

Yann led Robin into a large room filled with books and introduced them to the room.

"However, I have only done a simple classification of these books. You can organize them yourself later, Robin. You can also do any research you need here."

At that moment, Robin, whose eyes were shining brightly, suddenly noticed a book with a strangely exposed half-cover.

Subconsciously, Robin pulled this book, which was obviously older than the others, out of the bookshelf and casually flipped through it.

"hiss……"

A gasp of shock rang out beside him. Before Robin could even read the book, Yann snatched it away and tossed it toward the bookshelf in the far corner.

Robin looked at Arn's series of actions with some confusion and asked, "Brother Arn, can't I look at that book?"

"Ahem, you're still too young. You can't grasp the ideas and techniques in that book yet. Let's talk about it when you're a little older."

Yann offered a slightly embarrassed explanation, then told Robin to look at the rest of the books on his own.

Immediately afterwards, Yann hurried to the bookshelf in the far corner and moved the entire bookshelf, along with all the books, into his room.

Finally, Yann went back to the library and did a quick check to make sure nothing was missed before he was relieved.

Robin, who had already found some archaeological books and was flipping through them, was secretly observing Yann's every move with her dark blue eyes, and her curiosity was growing.

Although Robin couldn't see the contents of the book clearly, she could vaguely make out that it seemed to contain many exquisite color illustrations.

"Brother Yann, under what circumstances can I look at those books?" Despite his young age, Robin, whose posture was already quite elegant, asked casually while flipping through the archaeology book in his hand.

"When you become the strongest woman in the world, that'll be about right," Yann said dismissively.

Robin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is being the strongest enough?"

"of course."

Yann said it casually, and then left the castle.

Robin's lips curved into a beautiful smile as she muttered something.

"Brother Yann, each field has its own strongest."

[Chapter 60. "The White Town" of Flevans]

In the office of Naval Base 521, while Yann was still in the castle, Xiao Jin had already flown back here ahead of time.

After leaving the castle, Yann lay half-reclined on the sofa in a "Ge You slouch" position and began to ponder the future.

So, does this mean I'll be living a life where I always have a little girl with me?

What corruption!

No, no, no, that's not how it is. This is a choice I made for the future of the revolutionary army, a necessary sacrifice for the cause of the revolutionary army.

As the only archaeologist in the world who understands ancient writing, Robin is the only one who can decipher the specific content of historical texts.

Whether it's the hidden history of the "Void Century" that the World Government fears, the whereabouts of the three Ancient Weapons, or Laugh Tale, the "Final Island" that hides all the secrets, all of these can only be learned by deciphering historical texts.

Therefore, in a sense, the knowledge Robin possesses is extremely important to the Revolutionary Army, which needs to overthrow the World Government, and its importance is no less than that of Dragon himself as the leader.

"Yes, that's right. I adopted Robin entirely for the greater good, without any selfish motives whatsoever."

Having successfully convinced himself, Yann immediately felt all the guilt he felt about picking up a little girl disappear.

"Knock knock knock! Report!"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Yaen sat up straight and said, "Come in."

As the door opened, a naval division lieutenant walked in, saluted Yann, and said...

"Commander Yann, this is the report that Lieutenant Hope has submitted."

"Ah."

Yaen nodded and took the report.

Immediately, the lieutenant took out another document from his clothes and handed it to Ya'en, saying, "Also, these are reports submitted by comrades from various places."

Upon hearing this, Yann's expression turned slightly serious. He tossed aside the naval report in his hand and quickly began to peruse the report about the Revolutionary Army.

Soon, Yann found the content he was particularly interested in, browsed through it carefully, and couldn't help but look somewhat helpless.

"As expected, is it still incurable? 'White Town' Frevans."

The "White Town" of Flevans is a kingdom where almost the entire country, from trees to the ground, is white, all thanks to Flevans' specialty called "Amber Lead".

This specialty is a high-grade raw material with a wide range of uses. It is very expensive and extremely precious. However, what is not known to the world is that mining "amber lead" will cause people to suffer from an incurable disease called "amber lead disease" due to the gradual accumulation of trace amounts of the metal element in their bodies.

Under these circumstances, the Flevans royal family and nobles, in order to acquire vast wealth, concealed the fact that they were sacrificing the lives of the entire nation to mine "amber lead" on a massive scale.

Several years after the revolutionary comrades found the "white town" of Flevans, they tried various ways to change the fate of the country, such as revealing the truth, developing a special medicine, and launching an uprising.

However... apart from researching a specific cure, all other methods have been declared failures!

To Arn's complete surprise, the "White Town" of Frevans was home to a large number of World Government officials and spies.

Subsequently, according to information secretly gathered by the Revolutionary Army, the "White Town" of Flevans had been destroyed several times in history, but each time it was restored with the support of the World Government.

Gradually, Yann vaguely understood why the royal family and nobles of the "White Town" of Frevans were so short-sighted, risking the entire nation's survival from "Amber Lead Disease" in their desperate mining of "Amber Lead."

That is, the nation of "White Town" Flevance exists solely for "Amber Lead". If one of them is destroyed, the World Government will support the royal family and nobles of "White Town" Flevance again to establish a new nation.

For the World Government, it was just a mineral mining project; for the royal family and nobility, it was merely a business deal; but for the citizens of the "White Town" of Flevans, it was a curse upon their lives.

According to the messages relayed back by the revolutionary comrades, the citizens of the "white town" of Flevans are on the verge of mass deaths due to "lead poisoning," and all citizens are beginning to exhibit the unusual phenomenon of whitening of their skin, hair, and other parts.
