Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

So... Kaido really was completely wiped out, and even a monument has been erected for him.

However, to the surprise of Shanks and his crew, Yann actually developed a sense of camaraderie with a pirate and even brought fine wine to pay tribute to him.

As relatively pure and loyal pirates on this sea, Shanks and his crew couldn't help but change their opinion of Aon and gain a deeper understanding of him.

'This guy... despite being a bit despicable, he does have some redeeming qualities...'

However, what the red-haired group couldn't see was that the eye exposed in front of the black stone tablet was practically spitting out rage.

And Yann also realized what was happening and said.

"Sorry, I forgot you can't drink anymore, so... I'll drink for you..."

Immediately, Yan poured himself a small bowl of wine, gestured slightly towards the black stone tablet, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The red-haired group nodded slightly at this scene, and even felt that Yann actually had a bit of a heroic spirit.

However, the eye on the black stone tablet was bloodshot, staring intently at Yaen as if it wanted to tear Yaen to pieces.

Immediately ignoring the presence of the other pirates in the surrounding cages, Yann sat down directly in front of the black stone tablet, and began to sip wine one cup after another, muttering to himself.

"Actually, I don't want to treat you like this either. After all, in a sense, I should be calling you father-in-law now..."

In an instant, the entire giant black stone tablet seemed to sway slightly.

Yann, however, slightly turned the wine bowl and continued speaking.

"It's just that we can't blame our son-in-law for being unethical; it's simply that your power is enough to easily change the situation at sea."

"If I were to grant you your freedom, not only would it disrupt the current state of the sea, but besides me, there are few ways to subdue you in this ocean. You would bring far too much chaos to this sea..."

Yaen raised his eyes slightly, looked directly into the eyes staring intently at him, and said.

“In the next war, I may not be able to survive to the end, so in order to avoid leaving unnecessary trouble for future generations and to completely end your pain and loneliness, I have come to see you this time to send you off on your final journey, Father-in-law.”

"May you rest in peace. I will go back and persuade Yamato to forgive you, and then I will hold a memorial service for you at this time of year every year."

As he finished speaking, a hint of sadness crept into his voice. He poured a bowl of wine across the front of the black stone tablet, then respectfully drew his Soul-Slaying Blade from his waist.

"Oh, right..."

Suddenly, Yann remembered something and then spoke.

"Your dream of building a true 'Beast Army' has been realized by your son-in-law, but not through Zoan-type Devil Fruits. Instead, it was created by relying heavily on the bloodline factors within you."

"Although there hasn't been any actual combat yet, the data on paper has completely met my standards. I just don't know if it will satisfy you..."

"In memory of you, I intend to name that legion the 'Azure Dragon Legion'..."

……

Meanwhile, the red-haired group in the surrounding cages watched as Arn seemed to be muttering to himself to the black stone tablet, and they couldn't help but feel curious and confused, wondering what Arn was saying.

However, looking at the sadness and emotions that Arn exuded from afar, the red-haired group inexplicably felt that Arn's emotions were genuine.

Just as Shanks and his crew were speculating about what dramatic entanglement had occurred between Arn and Kaido in the past, as Arn pressed his hand on the black stone monument, the outer layer of the giant black stone monument began to peel off rapidly, collapsing quickly from the base.

"boom!"

The next moment, as the black stone tablet was blasted away, to the utter astonishment of the Red-Haired crew, Kaido, bound by layers of Seastone chains, appeared beneath the collapsing black stone tablet.

Although Kaido was incredibly thin at the moment, his old rivals, Shanks and his crew, instantly recognized him as the "strongest creature on land, sea, and air"!

Suddenly, Kaido let out an astonishing roar, the tangible sound waves echoing throughout the room.

"Roar!! Yann, you bastard!!!"

Arn, holding the Zanpakuto high with both hands, his expression filled with sorrow and mourning, said, "Is this all your last words, Father-in-law?"

"and many more……"

Just then, Kaido's expression twitched slightly, and the sea stone chains on his body rattled. He then pointed at the wine jar that Yann had placed on the ground and said...

"Give me that jar of wine to drink."

Arn raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, "Of course, father-in-law, this was originally prepared for you..."

Immediately, Yann took a step back, kicked the wine jar, and sent it flying into Kaido's hands, where it was caught.

[Chapter 791. The Seas Will Sing Your Name]

Kaido took the wine jar, inhaled the rich aroma of the wine deeply, his eyes revealing an almost naked greed and thirst, and then tilted his head back and drank it down.

"Guru Guru~"

Only after the entire large jar of wine had been emptied did Kaido slam the jar heavily onto the ground.

"Lulu lulu~~"

Kaido first laughed several times with satisfaction and comfort, then suddenly burst into tears.

The cries were so heart-wrenching that they moved all who heard them!

This left the red-haired group somewhat bewildered and confused, completely unaware of what was going on.

After a moment, Kaido's eyes regained their sharpness, and he looked directly at Yann and asked.

"Yamato, really...?"

"Ugh……"

Yann sighed and said.

"Yamato is an outstanding woman. I know I am not good enough for her and I wanted to keep my distance from her, but in the end, we came together because of Yamato's insistence. I'm sorry, father-in-law."

By the end, Yann's face was filled with remorse.

Upon hearing this, Kaido's expression twitched uncontrollably, his eyes blazing with raw ferocity as he said, "You bastard..."

To this, Yann merely showed remorse and regret, and then continued, "Father-in-law, do you have any further questions? If not, then let's get going."

"Lulu lulu~"

Kaido suddenly burst into laughter again, pointed at Yann, and said.

"Stop pretending. Don't I know what kind of person you are, you bastard? If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have released the stone tablet that was suppressing me, you bastard..."

Kaido paused, his face twitched, and he stared intently at Yann as he spoke.

"First you tempted me with fine wine, then you mentioned Yamato and the 'Azure Dragon Legion,' and then you continued to threaten me with death. You just want to get my power, right? You want me to do things for you?"

Yaen smiled slightly, sheathed the Soul-Slaying Blade that had been used in a pretentious manner, and spoke gently and politely.

"I dare not hope for more, but we are now family. If I were not forced to, I really would not want to hurt you, father-in-law."

"Tsk..."

Kaido scoffed, then turned and said, "You bastard, you've imprisoned me for so many years, and you still dare to dream of such a thing?"

"Didn't my father-in-law also imprison Yamato for many years? Yamato has gradually forgiven the past, and I believe my father-in-law will not hold such a small matter against him."

"Lulu~ You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you? Is it because of your words that you won Yamato's favor?"

Kaido laughed, then his tone suddenly changed, and he said in a ferocious manner.

"What if I refuse? Besides, after resting for a while, my strength has recovered somewhat. You alone and these Seastone chains may not be able to subdue me."

For a moment, under Kaido's actions, the sea stone chains rattled incessantly, as if they were about to be torn apart by Kaido at any moment.

However, faced with Kaido's seemingly berserk state, Yann simply waved his hand calmly and spoke frankly.

“I advised my father-in-law not to do this. You know me; I won’t do something I’m not sure I can handle…”

After a pause, Yann looked at Kaido's somewhat frozen expression, smiled kindly, and said.

"The wine you just drank contained a special agent targeting your bloodline factors. If your blood comes into contact with the agent I wiped on my blade, it will cause your bloodline factors to immediately begin to collapse irreversibly. This level of damage cannot be offset by mere vitality and physique."

"At that time, no matter how strong your vitality and physique are, father-in-law, you will probably lose most of your physical abilities for the rest of your life, turning into a pile of flesh that cannot move, and even thinking will feel incredibly long."

At that moment, Kaido's eyes widened, but a fleeting look of fear crossed his face.

Having just escaped the long-term suppression of the stone monument and briefly regained some freedom, Kaido's inner desire and pursuit of freedom has reached an unprecedented level.

For Kaido, who has just gained some freedom, to return to a state similar to his previous one is something that Kaido absolutely cannot bear.

“Impossible, you just drank those fine wines too,” Kaido retorted.

Yaen adjusted his glasses and said.

"Father-in-law, don't worry about me. That's a medicine that Luo developed specifically based on his research on the bloodline factor sequence in your body over the years. It's only effective for you and won't work for anyone else."

Now that things have come to this, Kaido has fully realized that he has been tricked.

From beginning to end, almost every word and action of Yann was a pre-prepared trap. All his previous words and the lifting of the stone tablet's suppression were intended to awaken his desire for the outside world and freedom.

Once their yearning for the outside world and freedom is aroused, they then use this method to threaten themselves.

"As expected of you, Terfim Yarrow!!"

Kaido sat down heavily again, completely giving up on the idea of ​​escaping, his expression full of defeat.

Yann smiled, ignoring Kaido's words. Instead, he pulled out a stack of newspapers from his pocket and threw them in front of Kaido, saying...

“These are newspapers from the past month; there might be content that your father-in-law would find interesting,” Yann said.

"Ok?"

Kaido glanced at Yann, then picked up the newspapers and casually flipped through them.

However, Kaido's eyes soon widened, his expression became excited, and he flipped through the pages faster and faster.

Finally, Kaido raised his head and stared intently at Yann, saying excitedly.

"War! This will definitely be the biggest war in history between the Navy and pirates!"

Yann spoke in a very seductive voice.

"That's right. Father-in-law, would you be interested in joining me in this war? Leading the 'Azure Dragon Legion,' the strongest army created from your 'bloodline factor'?"

In an instant, Kaido's face revealed an extremely tempted expression for the first time.

A war of this scale... for Kaido, a war maniac who has pursued war his whole life, the temptation is almost unprecedentedly great, not to mention that he can lead the so-called 'Azure Dragon Legion' that bastard Yann has praised many times.

"Gurgle~"

Kaido couldn't help but swallow hard, then asked, "Are we going to deal with Whitebeard?"

"Do not……"
