Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"died?!"

As Vice Admiral Tsuru's adopted sister, Gion, despite her low rank, knows far more naval secrets than a typical vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

Gion was well aware of how much trouble Vice Admiral Tsuru and Fleet Admiral Sengoku had with the notorious pirate Donquixote Doflamingo, who roamed the North Blue.

However, this big trouble just collapsed in the snow and completely lost its life, even its body temperature had dropped to cold.

The next moment, Gion suddenly realized what was happening and rushed towards Aon, shouting.

"Captain Yarne!"

Gion lifted Aon, who was covered in blood and tattered in many places, and only then did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Even though Arn's face looked extremely pale and he had several bleeding wounds, at least his breathing was relatively steady.

Hearing the familiar voice beside him, Yan understood that Xiao Jin had lured Gion over.

Immediately, with a thought, Yann subtly controlled his complexion and aura using the technique of "Life Return".

Gion quickly noticed that Aon's condition seemed to be deteriorating; his face was becoming increasingly pale, and his breathing was gradually weakening.

"No, we must get treatment immediately..."

Gion picked up Aon without hesitation and ran towards the warship.

With things having progressed to this point, Yann felt a sense of relief. All he needed to do now was pretend to be sick, slowly come up with an excuse, and then wake up at an opportune moment.

Uh……

Wait, what's that strange sensation on my face?!

Suddenly, Yann thought of something, feeling as if his thoughts had paused for a moment, and then all of them pointed to one place.

Look, Yann opened his eyes a tiny slit.

Everywhere you look is magnificent!

As Gion moved rapidly, Aon, who was held tightly in Gion's arms, inevitably had his face occasionally, unwittingly, bump into the massive structure, and then bounce off.

"hiss……"

Faintly, Gion seemed to hear a gasp of cold air coming from within her arms.

Immediately, Gion looked down and noticed that Aon, who was unconscious, had a slight frown on his brow. Considering the wounds all over Aon's body, Gion seemed to understand something and murmured to herself.

"Excuse me, Captain Yann, did the strenuous activity aggravate your wound?"

Immediately, Gion hugged Aon even tighter, trying to keep him close to her body to prevent further injury to his wounds, and she also sped up to buy Aon time for treatment.

As for Yann... he felt increasingly tormented, and even the "Life Return" technique was becoming difficult to suppress as the blood surging through his body rushed out of his body.

at last……

"puff……"

With a soft sound, Gion looked down and found that Aon's face had become unusually flushed, and his nose was bleeding.

"This...is this an internal injury? Blood is flowing from all seven orifices..." Gion said in shock.

Hearing this, Yann silently controlled "Life Return" to adjust the location of the bleeding in his body, adding seven more bleeding points in addition to the original sixteen wounds on his body.

In an instant, blood flowed from all seven orifices of Yann's body, including his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, giving him a terrifying and imminent death appearance.

Meanwhile, Yann prayed silently in his heart.

"Gion, hurry, I... I don't have much blood left to bleed..."

[Chapter 125. Yes, it was my initiative.]

Meanwhile, inside the little gold body above Gion, Baby-5 looked at Aeon's eerie condition and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Robin... Robin, is the young master really alright?"

"No," Robin said through gritted teeth, his fingers uncontrollably crumpling the pages of the books he usually cherished.

"But, Master's eyes and nose are bleeding, and his face is completely pale, as if he has lost too much blood..." Baby-5 clasped her hands together in front of her chest, still extremely worried.

"His condition wasn't due to excessive blood loss at all; rather, it was caused by an excess of vital energy," Robin said calmly.

"Huh?" baby-5 looked puzzled.

"When you're ten or twenty years older and you hold him like this, his reaction will probably be about the same..."

As Robin finished speaking, her tone became somewhat insecure, and she quietly looked down at her chest.

"He's almost thirteen years old, why is there still no change in his life?"

"Damn it, Mother's is clearly bigger than that female navy officer's, there's no way I could lose."

As Robin pondered this, a hint of worry crept into his eyes. He closed the book, headed towards the library, and said...

"Baby-5, I'll leave the rest of the plan to you and Xiao Jin. I have something to do."

Upon hearing the words "begged," baby-5 immediately became excited and agreed without hesitation.

“Okay, Robin.”

Robin returned to the library and kept browsing the titles of books on a certain shelf.

"Yes, I found it..."

Robin looked around to make sure no one was nearby before pulling the book down.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin, who had been following Yann's orders and secretly monitoring everyone's every move inside the castle, peeked out from the ceiling and remembered the name of the book—"On the Influence of Different Foods on Physical Development".

Meanwhile, in order to buy Aon a chance to be rescued, Gion ran all the way, holding Aon as tightly as possible, and even used "Naval Rokushiki: Shave" repeatedly to move quickly.

"Medical officer, medical officer..."

Upon hearing Gion's shout, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was checking the situation on Minion Island, looked over and was also shocked.

At this moment, Yann was almost covered in blood. Not only was his entire body stained red with blood, but even more terrifyingly, blood was gushing from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other orifices, even soaking a patch of Gion's chest.

This situation clearly indicates a state of severe injury and imminent death.

"Quickly! Prepare the medics."

At this moment, although Lieutenant General Tsuru was also very puzzled by Arn's appearance on Minion Island, he dared not delay in the slightest and tried his best to buy time for the rescue.

Regardless, Aon is Sengoku's adopted son, a true-blue second-generation naval officer, and also a nephew of Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Soon, at Lieutenant General Tsuru's urging, the ship's medic quickly took Yann to the medical room.

As Aon was carried into the medical room on a stretcher, Lieutenant General Tsuru couldn't help but ask Gion, who was staring blankly at her blood-covered hands, "..."

"Gion, what happened? How did Aon get so badly injured?"

Gion hadn't fully recovered from Aon's terrible state and said blankly.

"Little Gold led me to the place where Captain Yone and Doflamingo were fighting. That's where I found Captain Yone."

Upon hearing this, even the usually kind and gentle Lieutenant General Tsuru couldn't help but show a hint of anger on his face and spoke up.

"That Doflamingo guy, he still dares to attack the Navy like this, and even injured Yann like this."

Immediately, Vice Admiral Tsuru planned to turn around and arrange for naval soldiers to track down Doflamingo's whereabouts, intending to teach Doflamingo a thorough lesson.

"No, no need, Sister He..."

Gion quickly explained, "Doflamingo is dead."

"Oh, he's dead, uh, wait..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru suddenly realized what was happening, and with an incredulous look on his face, asked, "Dead?!"

“That’s right. Doflamingo and Captain Yone fell together in the snow. Captain Yone was critically injured and on the verge of death, while Doflamingo’s body was already cold,” Gion replied.

"That kind of man... he actually died like that?"

Lieutenant General Crane frowned, still feeling somewhat incredulous.

Vice Admiral Tsuru knew Doflamingo's background all too well: a former Celestial Dragon, a user of Conqueror's Haki, an evil figure determined to overthrow the sea, and a man who had developed his Devil Fruit to the point of awakening.

"So, the person who killed Doflamingo was Captain Yann?" Lieutenant General Tsuru asked.

“I took a quick look at Doflamingo’s wounds, and they are indeed marks left by Captain Yann’s Devil Fruit ability,” Gion replied.

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, dispatching soldiers to the direction Gion had indicated to confirm Doflamingo's body, while simultaneously pondering another question.

"Why would Captain Koyan suddenly come to Minion Island?"

It's important to understand that Minion Island is where the World Government conducted the "Operation Fruit" transaction, so if this cannot be explained...

Even with a powerful background, the loss of the "Op-Op Fruit" will inevitably arouse suspicion from the World Government, potentially leading to a thorough investigation.

"Perhaps this is my fault." Gion's tone became somewhat self-reproachful as she said this.

"Huh? What does this have to do with you?" Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Gion in confusion.

"Um……"

Gion nodded, her expression a mixture of self-reproach and embarrassment.

"It must have been me who challenged Captain Yern to a duel, which led to Captain Yern appearing here and even suffering a near-death injury."

After a pause, Gion didn't forget to help Aon explain.

"Last time, Doflamingo attacked Captain Yone. Perhaps this time, Captain Yone was attacked and retaliated, and his escape route was blocked, which is why he killed Doflamingo."

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Tsuru thought about it for a moment and realized that it was not impossible, but this was too much of a coincidence.

Lieutenant General Tsuru couldn't help but ask again, "Gion, did you invite Captain Aon here?"

Gion said with certainty.

“That’s right, and this agreement was made to Captain Y’en several months ago, but I only recently confirmed the location and time of the duel with Lieutenant Y’en.”

"If that's the case, then Captain Yern's appearance here might really be a surprise..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru completely trusts his adopted sister Gion, who has always been by his side, and understands that given her personality, she would never lie to him.

"However, Captain Yann killing Doflamingo is still a very significant event," Vice Admiral Tsuru remarked.

"The boy who was once thought to be weak and frail has grown up without us even realizing it."

[Chapter 126. A Very Serious Injury]

While Vice Admiral Tsuru and Gion were discussing things on the deck of the warship, two doctors in the medical room were also preparing for a rescue operation with serious expressions.
