Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

The name of Terfim Yarn, Inspector General of the North Sea, first became known across the sea!

Of course, defeating a few thousand small fry is not enough to make the strongmen of the Grand Line take notice, but it is enough to excite the North Blue Navy and make the pirates tremble with fear.

In an instant, the budding idea of ​​pirates in various corners of the North Sea gradually uniting to fight back against the Navy withered away.

Sakura Dragon!

And from some unknown point in time, the inspector who possessed the power of cherry blossoms gradually acquired this title.

However, looking at Robin reporting this title, Yann felt a mix of emotions.

Sakura Dragon?

Yingyinglong?

“Brother Yann, this title seems pretty good,” Robin said.

"Is...is that so..."

Even though no one in this vast ocean probably knows this meaning, Yann always feels like he's been forcibly made cute.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off creating my own low-key nickname.

"Ugh……"

If someone were to interview Ya'en at this moment, Ya'en would only want to express his regret.

Besides regret, I deeply realized that I was far too impulsive at the time, causing so many deaths.

Under these circumstances, even as the Inspector General of the North Sea, Yann was no longer able to suppress such shocking news.

Even though Yann used humility as an excuse to try to erase his contributions in the official announcements from the North Sea Navy, numerous versions still circulated.

Some versions are even more exaggerated than the actual situation.

For example, one version emphasizes that Arn's appearance is like that of a noble young master, and promotes that Arn possesses the most outstanding looks and temperament in the world.

Even though Ya'en wanted to refute such obviously exaggerated comments, he didn't know where to begin.

"Ugh……"

As he was traveling on a warship from Naval Base 323 back to Naval Base 521, Yann sighed again and then asked a question.

"Robin, what's the situation in the North Sea now? Has anything unusual happened?"

"No……"

Robin spoke as he organized the latest intelligence.

"After three or four days of fermentation, the pirates in the entire North Sea have lost their momentum and have completely lost the courage to fight back against the warships, as if they are afraid of attracting the attention of the Sakura Dragon."

"Can we not mention Sakura Dragon, Robin?" Yaen asked helplessly.

Robin gently covered her smile with her hand and replied earnestly, "Okay, Sakura Dragon brother."

……

Ya'en.

Just as Arn rolled up his sleeves, preparing to give Robin a good lesson, Arn's eyes suddenly narrowed!

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

The moment Yann reached out and drew his Zanpakuto, the release command rang out, and a large number of cherry blossoms crashed through the windows, deflecting the rapidly approaching cannonball outside the cabin.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, alarming the entire navy on the warship.

"Robin, Baby-5, you two go back to the Little Golden Castle first," Yann said seriously.

Robin didn't hesitate at all, nor did she ask the attacker any questions.

Instead, she directly used the power of the "Flower-Flower Fruit" to create a large number of arms, which quickly organized the various documents scattered in the cabin. Then, carrying the documents and leading Baby-5, she entered the Little Golden Castle.

"Brother Yann, be careful!"

"Ok!"

Hearing the faint sound coming from the Little Golden Castle, Yan nodded to indicate that he understood, and his Observation Haki had already clearly locked onto the enemy's location.

The Don Quixote family?!

By launching a high-profile and direct attack on the son of the Fleet Admiral, the Inspector General of the North Sea, Doflamingo is indeed extremely arrogant and presumptuous.

Immediately, Yann put on the cloak hanging on the clothes rack and went directly to the deck of the warship.

After the brief chaos caused by the sudden attack, the soldiers on the warships had all entered a state of combat readiness, with cannons and other weapons aimed at the Donquixote Family's pirate ship.

“Fufufu…”

Doflamingo's laughter rang out in the distance, followed by the words, "Sakura Dragon, we meet again. What a coincidence."

"skillful?"

Yann narrowed his eyes, looking at the pirate ship in the distance that resembled a flamingo, with Doflamingo, wearing a pink coat, standing on the bow.

"Doflamingo, you're here for me, aren't you?"

"No, no, no, I was just passing by. As a pirate, it's only natural to feel the urge to greet Lord Sakura Ryu, the Inspector General of the North Blue, right?"

As Doflamingo's evil and arrogant voice rang out, the pirate ship that resembled a flamingo did not stop at all, but instead continued to approach Yann at high speed.

Killing intent...

Clearly sensing the killing intent emanating from Doflamingo, Yann's expression turned completely cold.

As the distance between the two rapidly closed, Yann was even able to see Doflamingo's ferocious and angry expression with the naked eye.

"You're really quite audacious, Doflamingo. Are you really that sure of me?" Yan said with a slightly cold expression.

"My lord, please don't misunderstand. You are the son of a marshal of the Warring States period. How could I possibly dare to harm you?"

Doflamingo spoke without showing the slightest fear.

"It's just that the Inspector General is really getting in the way in Beihai right now, so I'd like to invite him to my place for a visit."

Yann's gaze shifted back and forth, and he had vaguely guessed Doflamingo's purpose.

Doflamingo relied on the fact that the World Government and the Navy could not openly confront him, in order to prevent Doflamingo from revealing many secrets about the World Government to the entire ocean.

Therefore, Doflamingo doesn't care about Yann's background as the son of the Marine Admiral at all, and intends to forcibly destroy the joint expedition that is gradually getting on track, and stir up chaos again.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Doflamingo was angry that Yann disregarded his dignity and directly killed Diamante, so he took the opportunity to take revenge and vent his anger.

Regardless of the circumstances, this conflict was inevitable.

Immediately, Yann's gaze swept over the Don Quixote family's pirate ship, and his heart sank.

The two sides are not even in the same league!

On the warship, Lieutenant Hope of the Navy was seriously injured and wrapped up like a dumpling, tied to the bed. Although the other naval officers and soldiers were elites belonging to the Navy Headquarters, their role in the face of a strong opponent was limited.

This time, the Don Quixote family came out in almost their entirety.

Besides Doflamingo, the top executives include Corazon "Heart" and Pica "Spade," as well as the other executives Señor Picker with the Water-Water Fruit, Machbais with the Ton-Press Fruit, Dellinger the Fighting Fish Half-Fishman, and Rao G., a master of physical combat.

[Chapter 108: A Difficult Choice]

We can't beat them!

In just a few breaths, Yann had already reached a conclusion.

If the Don Quixote family launches a full-scale attack, Yann's side has no chance of winning.

Even if Yann were to unleash the full power of "Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi", he could probably only ensure that he would remain unharmed in the struggle with Doflamingo, and at most, he could restrain three or four of his subordinates.

Any more... and Yann wouldn't be able to guarantee he wouldn't lose his life.

After all, with Yann's physique, even a minor injury would be equivalent to losing half his life.

In Yann's judgment, even if Corazon, as a naval spy, secretly let the enemy go, the other naval officers and soldiers on the warship would not be able to withstand the surprise attack from the other Don Quixote family executives.

"This is troublesome! This is a crisis similar to the one when Shiki the Golden Lion hijacked our warship back then."

A bead of sweat appeared on Yann's forehead as he pondered how to break the deadlock, while also secretly cursing himself for his carelessness.

Although Aon has a habit of releasing Observation Haki around him all year round for his own safety, in order to avoid mental fatigue, the range of Observation Haki is only kept to cover about a hundred meters.

However, with the Don Quixote family getting this close and even launching the first attack, conflict between the two sides became inevitable.

Now, Yann has few choices left. He can either abandon the rest of the navy on the warship and leave alone, or if Doflamingo dares to chase after him alone, Yann will show him how deep the sea is.

Alternatively, Yann could follow the same approach he used to deal with Shiki the Golden Lion, trying to stun the naval officers and soldiers on the warship with his spiritual pressure before unleashing his full power to defeat the enemy.

However, this approach also carries extremely high risks!

Back then, Shiki the Golden Lion was all alone, and Yann clearly judged that Shiki the Golden Lion was seriously injured, so he knew that even if he had to wear him down, he could wear Shiki the Golden Lion down.

However, among this group of Don Quixote family executives, there are quite a few strong individuals.

If even one of them escapes, it would be tantamount to exposing Yann's secret to the World Government.

Especially... Corazon!

Yann couldn't very well eliminate Corazon as well, but he also lacked the confidence to persuade Corazon to keep the secret from the old man of Sengoku.

This is a difficult choice, and a crisis that could even be fatal!

In fact, it wasn't just Yann who was in a dilemma at this moment; Corazon, standing beside Doflamingo, was also extremely anxious.

Corazon never expected that Doflamingo's sudden summons of all his officers was actually for a surprise attack on Yann's flagship, leaving Corazon with no way to give any advance warning.

How to do?

As the Donquixote Family's pirate ship rapidly approached, Corazon and Yann, the two sworn brothers, were extremely anxious. Meanwhile, Doflamingo's smile grew increasingly evil and arrogant, and his gaze toward Yann revealed absolute cruelty.

Tefimo Yaun!

This bastard caused immeasurable losses to the Don Quixote family.

It wasn't just the batch of weapons provided free of charge to support the pirate alliance in attacking Marine Base 323; more importantly, according to Doflamingo's plan, the North Blue pirates would be purchasing large quantities of weaponry.

However, the appearance of Tefimo Yann and his instantaneous sweep of the entire pirate alliance silenced the pirates throughout the North Blue for a short period of time, who dared not even entertain the idea of ​​making an enemy of such a monster.

This paralyzed the Don Quixote family's extensive arms sales network in the North Sea, leading to a massive stockpile of weapons.

This was an unprecedented and devastating blow to Doflamingo, who had been secretly accumulating power and needed a large amount of Beli to build various networks in order to gain recognition from the World Government after planning the Dressrosa Kingdom in the near future.
