Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Finally, Nami gritted her teeth slightly and replied, "Belly, the Grand Line's navigation charts are very valuable; they can be exchanged for a large amount of Berries."

Yan frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that something was amiss.

Could it be... that Nami's homeland has been invaded by the Fish-Men?

How could that be? Tiger is clearly under my command, and the Revolutionary Army has already secretly allied with Fish-Man Island.

In recent years, under the active guidance of King Neptune and Queen Otohime of Fishman Island, the extreme racial discrimination on Fishman Island should have been greatly reduced. So why are there still fishmen running to the East Blue?

[Chapter 703. The Pirate King's Former Crew Member]

While pondering, Yann uttered a name.

"Aaron?"

Nami's expression changed drastically, and her eyes almost instinctively showed fear as she exclaimed.

"You...you know Ah Long?!"

In an instant, Nami's instinctive exclamation completely attracted the attention of the surrounding "Buggy Pirates".

"Huh? What's that sound?"

"How can there be a woman's voice?"

"Let's go take a look."

In an instant, the surrounding pirates swarmed toward the corner where Arn and Nami were, only then discovering the presence of these two strangers.

"Hey, where did this guy come from?"

What are these two guys doing here?

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take care of these two guys, or the captain will definitely get angry..."

As the pirates were about to approach with their swords drawn, Yann's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently, "Annoying scum."

The next moment, Conqueror's Haki, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, struck with unparalleled accuracy at all the pirates who had already been locked onto by Observation Haki, centered on Arn.

The terrifying impact caused all the pirates to roll their eyes and fall unconscious almost instantly.

However, Nami, who was right next to Aon, felt nothing. She only sensed a terrifying look in Aon's eyes for a fleeting moment, and then all the pirates around her inexplicably collapsed.

Yann slowly withdrew his hand from the wall, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and contacted Tiger.

Soon, a bold and loud voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Sir, what is the mission?"

Over the past few years, as the times have changed, Yann has gradually stopped hiding his identity from the members of the Hueco Mundo organization and has been preparing his combat forces in advance for a certain plan.

Yann glanced at Nami, who was trembling slightly with fear in her eyes, and asked calmly, "Tiger, where is Arlong?"

"Ah Long? Did he do something wrong on Fishman Island?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger realized something was wrong and seemed to start talking to Jinbe. When Tiger's voice rang out again, his tone was serious as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know what crime Ah Long has committed?"

Y'en hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How long will it take you to get to Cocosia Village in the East Sea?"

“Two weeks! I will definitely reach Cocosia Village in the East China Sea within two weeks.” Tiger gave a positive answer.

"Then I'll be waiting for you in Cocoyasi Village."

Yann said something, then hung up the Den Den Mushi, intending to let Tiger handle the matter personally.

Regardless, Tiger once climbed the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to rescue a large number of human slaves. Later, after understanding the Revolutionary Army's ideology, Tiger joined the Revolutionary Army without hesitation, showing genuine kindness to humanity. Arlong, on the other hand, is still nominally considered a member of the "Sun Pirates".

Furthermore, with the Revolutionary Army and Mermaid Island currently cooperating to eliminate racial discrimination and vying for the power of Princess Shirahoshi, the "Ancient Weapon Sea King," it would be quite inappropriate for Arn to simply and brutally eliminate Arlong.

Then, Yann spoke to Nami, who was still somewhat bewildered.

"Nami, you heard the call just now. I'll ask you to wait two weeks. I'll have Tiger give you a satisfactory result."

"What...what could this be? And what is your relationship with Ah Long?"

Nami spoke blankly, clearly the situation before her was beyond her current comprehension.

"Ah Long? That kind of guy isn't even worthy of my acquaintance," Yann said with a hint of disdain.

In fact, given Aon's status, he had noticed that Arlong was in the "Sun Pirates," but he had no interest in changing or influencing Arlong's extreme racist ideas.

Originally, Yann thought that as the Revolutionary Army cooperated with Fishman Island to eliminate racial discrimination, insignificant figures like Arlong would naturally lose that kind of mindset under the influence of the general trend. He didn't expect that the guy probably left the "Sun Pirates" at some point and secretly ran to the East Blue.

Nami's eyes widened slightly, then filled with excitement as she asked, "You mean, you can take care of Arlong and get you to return Cocoyasi Village to me?"

"Fool……"

Yaen couldn't help but say something with a hint of helplessness, and then said...

"Who do you think I am? Can't you be a little bolder? Even if you make Ah Long spend the rest of his life growing oranges to atone for your sins, there's no problem with that."

Upon hearing Yann's affirmative answer, Nami froze for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground, tears streaming down her face as she choked back sobs and murmured.

"Thank you... thank you... I will spend the rest of my life... repaying your kindness..."

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Yan couldn't help but sigh. He gently stroked Nami's head to comfort her, but his thoughts kept drifting away.

Nami's tragic experience is just a small part of the chaotic sea. Pirates like Arlong, who are commonplace, are almost impossible to kill and are countless in the sea.

The ocean... is so vast that there are countless hidden corners that the navy cannot detect and the revolutionary army cannot know.

The only way, and the only way, is to truly change this chaotic era at its root!

On the other side of the town, Buggy, the user of the Split-Split Fruit, who looked like a circus clown, was floating in mid-air, while two feet on the ground were frantically running towards the shore.

As a former crew member of the "Pirate King" Roger and a partner of "Red-Haired" Shanks, Buggy's strength may be quite mediocre, but his knowledge is undoubtedly among the best in the entire East Blue.

With all the crew members falling unconscious under the influence of Conqueror's Haki, Buggy realized the danger and abandoned all his companions without hesitation, fleeing for his life.

However, just as Bucky spotted a small boat moored on the shore, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, and Bucky was kicked back without any resistance.

"Isn't it a bit too shameful for a member of the Pirate King's crew to flee without a fight?" Yann's calm voice rang out, causing Nami's eyes to widen involuntarily.

"Is this... a lie? 'Clown' Buggy is actually a member of the Pirate King's crew?"

[Chapter 704. Each on its own]

Buggy, who had just climbed up from the ground, listened to Yann and Nami's conversation and his pupils contracted. He never expected that his identity, which he had hidden for so many years, would be exposed so suddenly.

Bucky immediately began to explain in a flustered manner, "Well... what are you talking about? How could I possibly be Captain Roger's crew member?"

“See, Nami, Buggy admitted it himself, didn’t he? Besides Roger’s crew, who else would directly call Roger ‘captain’?” Yann said with a smile.

In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward and silent.

Buggy almost slapped himself a few times, actually admitting his identity, while Nami looked at Buggy in surprise, never expecting that the legendary "Pirate King" Roger's crew would be... so lame.

If Nami had previously believed the rumors and thought Buggy was a terrifying pirate with "immortality," then...

But after witnessing Buggy being easily kicked away by Yann, and all the members of the "Buggy Pirates" being easily knocked unconscious by Yann, Nami's awe of Buggy had completely vanished.

As Bucky realized that his identity could no longer be concealed, he was secretly in a state of panic, but on the surface, he flicked his cape behind him, his comical style suddenly changing, and his tone became deep.

"Originally, I just wanted to be an ordinary pirate in the East Blue, but now that I've been identified, there seems to be no point in hiding anymore. That's right, I am Buggy, the one Roger once relied on to dominate the seas..."

Before Buggy could finish speaking, Yann casually flicked his hand behind him, sending away the knife that Buggy had split off using the Split-Split Fruit to launch a sneak attack. At the same time, Yann instantly appeared in front of Buggy and stomped hard on his chest.

"boom!"

With that kick, Bucky seemed to hear his ribs groaning, and he almost rolled his eyes and passed out completely.

"What do you mean, 'big Pakistan'? Big Pakistan..."

Yann's voice suddenly stopped, then he turned to Bucky at his feet and said, "You really think you can fool me?"

Immediately, Yann didn't bother to waste words with Buggy, nor did he care to ask the slippery Buggy how many secrets he knew. He simply pulled out a pair of seastone handcuffs from his pocket and locked Buggy up, preparing to hand him over to Charlotte Pudding, the "Memory-Memory Fruit" user.

At that time, all the secrets that Bucky knew will be completely exposed to Yann.

Not long after they defeated Buggy, Luffy and his crew's small boat swayed and rocked as they arrived at the town.

"Go, Nami. Join that pirate crew as their navigator, and guide Luffy along the route shown on the chart I gave you."

"I'm talking," Yann said, pointing to the small boat that had just arrived at the port.

As Nami put away the sea chart that Yann had just given her, she couldn't help but ask, "Um... can I ask what the purpose of doing this is? Are you planning to take down that guy named Luffy?"

"No, of course not..."

Yann answered Nami patiently and gently.

“Luffy is the son of one of my good brothers. I was worried that his voyage wouldn’t be smooth or exciting enough, so I specially asked you, a top-notch navigator of the sea, to help him.”

"Is that so?"

Nami breathed a slight sigh of relief, and roughly understood Arn's purpose.

That guy named Luffy must be the son of one of Aon's deceased best friends, right? That's why Aon is taking special care of him like this.

Nami nodded and said, "Although I hate pirates, I'll agree for your sake..."

After a pause, Nami couldn't help but ask, "But Cocoyasi Village..."

"Don't worry, I'm just temporarily separated from you to take Bucky somewhere. We'll meet up again soon. Besides, Tiger will need another two weeks to reach Cocoyasi Village," Yann replied.

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up with joy, and she gave Arn a playful smile as she replied.

"Okay, I understand."

With Nami agreeing, Yann felt relieved and left with Buggy, who was handcuffed with seastone, heading towards the nearest Revolutionary Army contact point. He planned to use the Revolutionary Army's channels to deliver Buggy to Charlotte Pudding, who was in the Grand Line.

Undoubtedly, even Yann had to admit that Nami's talent as a navigator was absolutely top-tier on the sea. Otherwise, in the original timeline, Shiki the Golden Lion wouldn't have gone out of his way to snatch Nami and try to make her work for him.

For the newly formed Straw Hat Pirates, Nami is absolutely indispensable and irreplaceable. If it were any other navigator, they probably wouldn't have been able to lead the Straw Hat Pirates to the end of the sea.

If the Straw Hat Pirates don't fall to any powerful enemy, but instead perish in the harsh and unpredictable weather of the Grand Line, that would be truly hilarious.

More importantly, Sora and Luminous have already joined the Straw Hat Pirates. How could Yann allow such a comical accident to happen to the Straw Hat Pirates?

Just in case, Yann has even begun to have the Revolutionary Army prepare a large number of books on knowledge that navigators need to master, intending to hand them over to Nami at the appropriate time.

……

Meanwhile, Nami, with her excellent acting skills and communication abilities, easily gained Luffy's trust and successfully became the navigator of the "Straw Hat Pirates".
