Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Built on ten thousand meters of red soil and standing amidst the vast clouds, the sacred site of Mary Geoise possesses natural barriers and distances that are difficult for ordinary people to access!

With Mary Geoise so determined to defend it, it would be virtually impossible to conquer it using conventional methods.

'Since you enjoy slavery, then let slavery destroy the Holy Land's lofty pride...'

Yann muttered to himself, his back quickly disappearing from the Going Merry, leaving the Straw Hat crew somewhat bewildered.

"Um, Ying, your father just left like that?" Luffy asked in confusion.

"if not?"

Ying retorted irritably, "Are you planning to invite him to join the pirate crew and go on adventures together?"

No, I don't want to.

Luffy rejects his childhood trauma without hesitation.

"So what do we do next?"

Sanji glanced in the direction of Kuzan and Borsalino and said.

"Our crisis is not over yet. Even if Ying's father doesn't attack us, the approach of the two Marine Admirals is still a big problem. Furthermore, we can't apply coating in the Sabaody Archipelago. How do we get to Fishman Island and reach the 'New World'?"

After briefly weighing the special log pointer in his hand, Sora smiled slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, I already know how to get to the 'New World' sea area."

"what?!"

Amidst the Straw Hat crew's somewhat puzzled tones, Sora began operating the Going Merry's incredibly complex control room.

……

On the other side, Yann's face was filled with a gloomy expression. He wiped his eyes from time to time, seemingly strong yet sad, as he said goodbye to Kuzan and Borsalino in a tone full of helplessness and sorrow.

"Those are indeed Sora and Luminous, but... I don't know what those two went through, but they're determined to follow that Monkey D. Luffy on his adventure..."

At this moment, Yann was like a middle-aged man helpless in the face of his child's rebellion, prompting Kuzan and Borsalino to smack their lips and subconsciously comfort Yann with somewhat bewildered words.

Suddenly, Yann remembered something and asked.

"By the way, Kuzan, Borsalino, what are you doing here? Could it be... that the Straw Hat Pirates have gotten into some terrible trouble?!"

[Chapter 753. I was careless!]

"Uh……"

Kuzan and Borsalino exchanged glances before realizing that Yann, who had just returned from the "New World" waters, was unaware of the events that had occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"and many more……"

And Yann seemed to be gradually shaking off his grief, pointing his finger towards the occasional explosions that echoed from the Sabaody Archipelago in the distance, and said.

"What's going on in the Sabaody Archipelago? Why has it become so chaotic?"

"This one……"

Borsalino thought for a moment, then whispered, "Ya'en, the Straw Hat Pirates attacked a World Noble."

"what?!"

A look of utter shock crossed Yann's face, as if his beliefs had been greatly challenged. Then, he became furious and insisted.

"It must have been Monkey D. Luffy who did it, right? That bastard not only bewitched Sora and Luminous, but also dared to attack the noble World Noble. I will definitely tear him to pieces."

Immediately, Yann wanted to draw his sword and unleash his power.

Seeing this, Kuzan and Borsalino quickly grabbed Yann, fearing that Yann might impulsively smash Garp's grandson Monkey D. Luffy.

If this incident really happens, I'm afraid that once Yann returns to Marineford, Yann and Garp, these two naval heroes, will definitely fight each other.

However... Kuzan and Borsalino cannot openly tell Yann, who shouldn't know that Luffy is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, otherwise it would be equivalent to exposing the fact that Kuzan and Borsalino let Luffy off the hook for committing a heinous crime.

"and many more……"

Borsalino quickly spoke in a rare serious tone, "Vice Admiral Yann, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has entrusted the handling of the incident caused by the Straw Hat Pirates to me and Kuzan."

“That’s right, Yann. You’ve traveled a long way from Wano Country. You should rest first,” Kuzan said.

Seeing this, after fully explaining that he had no bias towards pirates or to offend the World Government, Yann naturally decided to back down while he was ahead, persuaded by the two Marine Admirals.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you. However, Sora and Hikari were only temporarily misled, so please don't hurt them for my sake. I'll teach Sora and Hikari a lesson later and make sure they stay away from those pirates..."

Upon hearing Yann's words, Kuzan and Borsalino's expressions twitched slightly.

Sora and Hikari are not defenseless civilians; how could they possibly arrest them without harming them?

Especially Luminous, as someone who has actually fought Luminous before, Borsalino almost got stabbed in the back by Luminous when he wasn't paying attention.

With Yone watching from the sidelines, Kuzan and Borsalino couldn't very well go all out against Sora and Luminos in front of Yone, could they?

'This is difficult...'

Just as Kuzan and Borsalino were feeling a headache coming on, something resembling an engine jet suddenly appeared at the stern of the Merry.

next moment……

"boom!"

Incredibly hot flames erupted from the engine nozzles at the stern of the Merry, continuously melting the surrounding ice, causing the entire ship to shake violently, as if it might break free of the ice at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Borsalino instantly leaped into the air, crossed his arms, and shouted, "Don't even think about running away! The Straw Hat crew, who have committed unforgivable crimes, will die right here!"

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Immediately, a large number of light bullets erupted from Borsalino's body, sweeping towards the Going Merry like a torrential rain.

The power of each of those light projectiles was so great that any ice surface they touched was instantly shattered and pulverized. The area ravaged by the "Yasakani no Magatama" seemed to be being destroyed.

However... the "Yasakani no Magatama" that seemed to sweep across a large area like a torrential rain actually landed very little on the Going Merry.

The few light blasts that were actually aimed directly at the Merry were easily blocked by the flying slashes released by Ying.

The next moment, as the ice around the Merry collapsed, the Merry, freed from its restraints, was propelled into the sky by the powerful thrust of its engines, and soared straight into the heavens.

Borsalino, who had witnessed the Merry's descent from the sky with Kuzan long ago, spoke with a tone full of regret and helplessness.

"Oh my god, he actually had that trick up his sleeve? I was careless and didn't dodge to chase him in time."

Kuzan said with a worried expression, "I didn't expect this ship to be able to fly like Enel's pirate crew. This is troublesome; the Straw Hat Pirates escaped..."

"No, we can't let them get away!"

Yann gritted his teeth as he spoke, then took his personal Den Den Mushi from the little golden mouth perched on his shoulder and began mobilizing the naval forces around the Red Line to encircle the Straw Hat Pirates.

At first, Kuzan and Borsalino also thought that Yann was just going through the motions.

However, as Yann issued his orders one by one, a search network was formed around the sea area where the Straw Hat Pirates had fled, leaving them nowhere to escape.

For a moment, Borsalino and Kuzan felt that... they might have misunderstood Yann's meaning and shouldn't have let the Straw Hat Pirates escape.

However... since they had already done it, and Borsalino and Kuzan hadn't left any major loopholes, they weren't worried that the World Government would pursue the matter to the end.

Boom!!!

However, with the Straw Hat Pirates' escape, the Sabaody Archipelago, still in a state of chaos, attracted the attention of the two Marine Admirals.

Regardless, since we're already here, we should at least do something...

However, as Kuzan and Borsalino personally intervened to quell the chaos in the Sabaody Archipelago, they realized... that things might not be looking too good.

While the Straw Hat Pirates were stalling for time, the Sabaody Archipelago was in chaos as a group of pirates led by the "Supernovas" caused more than 50 percent of the buildings to be destroyed. Almost the entire area was engulfed in war, and many pirates were taking the opportunity to plunder treasures and wealth from various auction houses and merchant guilds.

"These guys... they really deserve to die..."

At this moment, as Kuzan and Borsalino witnessed these pirates acting so brazenly right under their noses, not only failing to flee but also beginning to plunder and destroy at will, they were thoroughly enraged.

In a short time, after Kuzan and Borsalino got serious, a large number of pirates were suppressed at a rapid pace.

Of course, there were also some rebellious and hot-blooded warriors like Kid who stubbornly decided to challenge the so-called Navy Admirals. They were then kicked by Borsalino, who shattered tens of tons of scrap metal, leaving them severely injured and on the verge of death before arresting them.

[Chapter 754. KLT-0]

Meanwhile, as Kuzan and Borsalino were suppressing the pirates of Sabaody Archipelago, Baby-5 met with Brook in a secret underground room.

And in front of Baby-5 and Brook, Ace, who was kept unconscious by drugs, was having his blood extracted by 'KLT-0', who looked extremely similar to Law, and then that blood was mixed with a green medicine.

Immediately, "KLT-0" injected the green potion directly into his body, injecting all of it into his system.

The next moment, "KLT-0" suddenly began to convulse, then collapsed to the ground and began to twitch continuously, with inexplicable changes occurring on its body surface.

Witnessing this, Brooke, whose appearance was terrifying, asked with a completely uncharacteristically tense and worried tone, "Um, is he really alright?"

"Don't worry, the purpose of 'KLT-0' is to adapt to the 'bloodline factor specific agent'."

baby-5 exhaled a puff of smoke and said nonchalantly, "Besides, 'KLT-0' has been tested hundreds of times along the way, and there haven't been any problems."

"Really? I see."

Brooke's skull mouth opened and closed, then he suddenly realized that he had no idea what "bloodline factor specialization agent" was.

"Um, what is a 'bloodline factor specialization agent'?"

baby-5 glanced at "KLT-0," who was still convulsing on the ground, and then said.

"How so? Every human being has different bloodline factors, and a person's appearance, talents, and physique are all manifestations of these bloodline factors."

"The 'bloodline factor specialization agent' can be obtained by mixing the bloodline factors of others and then injecting it into something like 'KLT-0', thereby changing 'KLT-0's' own bloodline factors to those of the target, so that 'KLT-0' possesses all the characteristics of the target's physical structure."

As baby-5 recounted the story, Brooke's mouth slowly opened, and she stammered in astonishment, "This...this is actually possible?"

“Yes, this is a product that our lord had one of our companions specially tinker with,” baby-5 replied.

"But this kind of thing doesn't seem to make any sense, does it?"

Brooke asked, puzzled.

"Even if the appearance is exactly the same, 'KLT-0' doesn't have the memory and behavioral habits of the target, right? On the contrary, it can change its appearance and look like a Mimic Fruit, and can easily imitate behavioral habits with the help of its ability."

"no the same……"

baby-5 asked rhetorically.

"What if they need to wear Seastone handcuffs? Or what if someone extracts their bloodline factors for comparison and research? Or what if there are even more complex situations? In those cases, the Imitation Fruit user would be exposed immediately."

"Uh……"

Brooke was momentarily speechless, muttering to himself, "How complicated. People in this era are truly terrifying."

Just then, "KLT-0" who had been lying on the ground stood up.
