Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Therefore, Yann cannot inquire with the Navy's intelligence department, nor can he inquire with old foxes like Vice Admiral Tsuru or Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

So the only remaining candidate is...

After a moment's hesitation, Yann chose to dial Colonel Gion's Den Den Mushi.

As the Den Den Mushi connected, Gion's slightly puzzled voice came through.

"Who?"

“Gion? I am Tefimo Yann,” Yann said.

"Hmm? Aon, is there something you need?" Gion was somewhat puzzled by Aon's sudden contact.

Ayan smacked his lips, but he also understood that his relationship with Gion was not yet at the point where they could share secrets.

After a slight hesitation, Yann, who had almost no experience in actively contacting men his own age, casually asked, "Um... you don't have anyone else with you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gion was somewhat suspicious, but still answered.

“I’m in the room, all alone. You can talk to me now, Yann.”

"Well, it's nothing really, I just wanted to get in touch with you and reconnect."

? ? ! !

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Gion's beautiful eyes widened, almost thinking she had misheard. "What...do you mean?"

"Cough cough cough..."

While cursing Corazon for making him lose face, Yann knew he didn't have much time to waste, so he blushed slightly and got straight to the point.

"Um, Gion, where are you now? I... I want to see you right now."

(??灬?)

Gion.

With his fists clenched, driven by past brotherhood, Yann could only go against his conscience and suppress his embarrassment as he continued to press for answers.

"Is...is it alright? Gion, tell me the location."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Gion's face gradually turned red, but then she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"Are you planning to honor your promise and spar with me in the North Sea?"

"Ah...ah, almost...about the same," Yann mumbled in response.

Gion hesitated for a moment, then said lightly, "Embark Island, see you at Embark Island in three days."

Immediately afterwards, Gion hung up the phone.

Aon was somewhat confused, feeling that Gion had answered him in some way, but not quite given him the answer he wanted.

What Arn wanted to know was Gion's location and the subsequent flight path, but Gion directly arranged to meet Arn at a certain place.

Is this... the same thing?

Yaen fell into deep thought, but given the urgency of the situation, he had no time to hesitate.

Furthermore, Yan understood that even if the "Operation Fruit" did not appear on Swallow Island, it should be in the nearby sea.

After all, Gion is responsible for military affairs, and even if it needs to go out temporarily, it cannot stray too far from the warship.

Immediately, while ordering his adjutant to set sail for Swallow Island, Yann went directly into Little Gold Castle, sending Little Gold ahead of him towards Swallow Island.

……

On the other side, Gion remained in the position of hanging up the Den Den Mushi, her cheeks still flushed pink. She couldn't help but spit on herself and whispered something.

"It's all that idiot Jiaji's fault! He almost made me misunderstand Arn's intentions. Arn clearly wanted to fulfill his promise to spar with me. What was I thinking?"

After saying that, Gion subconsciously tightened her grip on the hilt of the "Famous Sword - Kinpira".

When Gion parted ways with Aon last time, she mouthed a challenge to him.

After more than three months of silence, Gion thought that Aon had no intention of a private duel. But he suddenly contacted her, and in such an eager manner.

"Ya'en, I will definitely not lose to you this time."

Gion quickly dismissed those slightly sordid and embarrassing thoughts, leaving only a surge of fierce fighting spirit within her.

……

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ahn felt that Gion might be hinting at something to him.

fencing?

What kind of swordsmanship?!

Aon, who couldn't remember ever lip-syncing to Gion, felt increasingly uneasy, and his heart began to pound wildly in his chest.

"Calm down, calm down!"

"How could I lose my composure like this when she's just a mature, beautiful, and heroic female swordswoman from the navy?"

"In short, I'll just go and meet them calmly when the time comes."

"Yes, but some safety measures still need to be prepared in advance to avoid accidents that could result in death or other dangers."

Just as Arn was about to ponder it carefully, Robin's slightly disdainful voice rang out.

"Brother Yan, what are you thinking? Why are you smiling like that?"

"A smile? What smile..."

Ya'en subconsciously touched his face, then realized what was happening, his expression turned serious, and he said, "It's important, important business comes first."

Immediately afterwards, Yann looked at the map that Robin had found and spread out in front of him.

As the Inspector General of the North Sea, Ya'en had already secretly copied a military map of the North Sea, and the map spread out in front of him was of the waters belonging to Swallow Island.

Meanwhile, Arn was also trying hard to recall relevant memories from his past life. However, there were some inconspicuous island names and personal names that Arn couldn't possibly remember clearly after more than twenty years. He could only try his best to recall the relevant features.

snow!

Suddenly, Yann recalled a scene: Corazon, in his original trajectory, died lying in a snowy field, a scene that was extremely poignant and tragic.

“Robin, which island in this sea gets snow this season?” Yann asked.

"and many more……"

Robin tried hard to recall, then found a book and looked it up.

"Mignon Island!"

A moment later, Robin pointed to an island not far from Swallow Island and said.

"The climate on this island is snowy all year round. Because the climate is not very suitable for civilians to live in, there are occasional pirates hiding there."

"This is it!"

Without hesitation, Yann said, "Robin, you point out the direction to Little Gold. Change the destination to Minion Island, and be quick!"

[Chapter 116. A Perfect Plan That Only Sacrifices Oneself]

As Yann predicted, Minion Island was indeed Corazon's destination, where the "Op-Op Fruit," which had fallen into the hands of pirates, would be traded with the World Government.

In order to obtain the "Op-Op Fruit," Corazon, after confirming the information that the World Government and the pirates would be trading the "Op-Op Fruit" for 50 billion Berries, decided to seize it.

Corazon used the excuse that the Don Quixote family also knew about this information and planned to seize the "Operation Fruit" ahead of time.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had temporarily abandoned the pursuit of the Donquixote Family in order to secretly protect the "Op-Op Fruit" transaction, was led to Yanzi Island ahead of time to stop Doflamingo, thus creating a brief window of opportunity to seize the "Op-Op Fruit".

It can be said that Corazon, as a double agent who betrayed the Navy, directly manipulated the World Government, the Navy, and the Donquixote Family, gaining a chance to seize the "Operation Fruit".

In the end, Corazon successfully broke into the pirate crew that had obtained the "Op-Op Fruit" before the World Government, the Navy, and the Donquixote Family could react, obtained the Devil Fruit known as the ultimate, and stuffed it into Law's mouth.

Meanwhile, Corazon, severely injured, lay helplessly in the snow, a satisfied smile on his face as he watched the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, feeling infinitely gratified.

"From now on, you will have a future, Ro!"

“‘Lead disease’ can no longer bind you. You are free, Ro!”

Severely wounded and feeling incredibly heavy, Corazon, who had unknowingly betrayed all three parties as a spy, understood that even if he left the island alive, the sea would no longer offer him refuge.

After all, having secretly stolen the "Operation Fruit," Corazon's existence would not be tolerated by the World Government, the Navy, or the Donquixote Family.

However, Corazon had already come to terms with this, and the only person he felt indebted to was his father, the Sengoku Marshal.

So, despite being seriously injured, Corazon pretended to be fine and handed over the secret intelligence he had collected over the years to Law, asking Law to hand over this list of Doflamingo's entire network of relationships to the Navy.

If Fleet Admiral Sengoku possesses this list, he can completely destroy Doflamingo's underground trading network, rendering Doflamingo's efforts over the past twenty years utterly futile, and might even have the opportunity to arrest Doflamingo.

In this way, Corazon was able to repay the kindness of the Warring States Marshal in raising him.

"Go, Luo, hand this over to the naval surveillance ship anchored to the north. I'll rest for a bit; we'll be able to rendezvous soon."

Corazon said with an exaggerated smile, but in his heart he knew that Law, who had such important information, would definitely be protected by the Navy.

Vice Admiral Tsuru is located on Swallow Island, which is not far from this island. Even if Doflamingo realizes that Law has eaten the "Op-Op Fruit," he will not be able to threaten Law at all.

This... is the plan that Corazon prepared!

Trafalgar Law, the boy who suffered the pain of national annihilation and the torment of "Amber Lead Disease," will be saved. The World Government and the Donquixote Family will lose the "Op-Op Fruit," and the Navy will be able to completely destroy Doflamingo's underground network.

This is perfect, but it doesn't take into account Corazon's own plans.

However, just when Corazon thought everything was over, the biggest surprise happened!

Law handed over the intelligence that Corazon had collected over the years to a naval officer, but that officer happened to be a spy planted in the navy by the Donquixote Family—the first "Heart" Vergo, the former highest-ranking officer of the Donquixote Family.

Finished!

Corazon's eyes widened as he stared at Vergo, who was dressed in a naval uniform, holding intelligence in one hand and pulling Law closer with the other.

Utter despair!

Meanwhile, Doflamingo, who had just arrived on Minion Island, noticed the commotion on the island and frowned slightly.

Although Yann was still some distance from Minion Island, an ominous and uneasy premonition arose inexplicably in his heart, and he gradually felt restless.

"Corazon, you bastard..."

Yaen gripped the Zanpakuto at his waist tightly, silently chanting, "Don't die, wait for me!"

Suddenly, Yann looked ahead and saw a large ball of silk appear on the island of Minion, which was faintly visible at the end of his vision, and it wrapped up the entire island.

“A birdcage?!” Yann murmured.
