Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Quickly, open up a route and catch up!" Lieutenant General Tsuru hesitated for a moment, then quickly gave the order.

Meanwhile, Gion, who had been waiting on high alert, spoke up. "Sister Tsuru, should I try to stop the Donquixote Family first?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, trusting in Gion's strength. "Be careful, Corazon's condition doesn't seem right."

"I understand."

The next moment, Gion swiftly flipped off the warship, then used her long, beautiful legs to propel herself along the rocks protruding from the sea, and like a nimble rabbit, she quickly chased after the Don Quixote family's pirate ship.

"Lieutenant Colonel Rosinandi..."

As Gion finally saw Corazon's current appearance, she was slightly surprised and wary, and shouted.

"What are you doing? Why are you helping the pirates escape, and where have you been all this time?"

Looking at the beautiful and spirited Gion before him, a smile unconsciously appeared on Corazon's lips.

After all, the woman in front of him was likely to become his sister-in-law in the future, so Corazon naturally had a high degree of favorability towards Gion.

However, Corazon quickly recovered, composed himself, casually draped the exaggerated scythe over his shoulder with his right hand, and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, my current allegiance is to the Don Quixote Family, not the Navy."

[Chapter 136 The New Don Quixote Family]

"traitor!!!"

Immediately, Gion, a true-blue second-generation naval officer, became utterly enraged. With a flash of her "famous sword, Kinpira," a golden flying slash hurtled towards Corazon from afar.

Instinctively, Corazon wanted to retaliate, but the action was abruptly stopped.

Corazon has only mastered the "Crying Mantis" ability a few days ago, and he is still not in a state of complete control over his own power.

What if I accidentally hurt Gion?

Corazon hesitated.

It doesn't matter if Ayan is heartbroken, the main thing is that Corazon is worried that if Gion really marries Ayan, what if she refuses to acknowledge him as her brother?

With Doflamingo's death, Corazon is now increasingly focused on family and kinship.

Although Yann and Corazon are not actually related by blood, Corazon has always treated Yann like a younger brother.

Just as Corazon hesitated, the golden flying slash arrived with a bang and landed on Corazon's chest.

However, to Gion's utter astonishment, her incredibly confident flying slash, upon striking Corazon's chest, only managed to tear a hole in his clothing; Corazon himself didn't even flinch, let alone bleed.

"How is this possible?!"

Gion's beautiful eyes widened, her speeding figure paused, and she stood on a reef. Her gaze sharpened, and all her attention was focused on the man in front of her, who resembled a ferocious beast.

"One-Sword Style: Biraishi Slash!"

The next instant, as the "Famous Sword - Kinpira" returned to its sheath, it flashed with a bright light, and a huge, exaggerated golden flying slash split the sea and struck Corazon directly.

Faced with this exaggerated flying slash, Corazon's expression also became serious.

Just as the flying slash approached Corazon, the exaggerated scythe that Corazon carried on his shoulder moved, and like a crescent moon, it slammed down from below towards the flying slash.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the flying slash that Gion had unleashed with all her might was sent flying into the sky by Corazon, leaving Gion in disbelief.

"That was a really good attack!"

Fearing it might negatively impact her future sister-in-law, Corazon couldn't help but praise her.

However, Corazon's words made Gion deeply aware of the gap between the two sides.

Although Corazon was holding two scythes in each hand, he casually swung one of them and sent Gion's powerful flying slash hurtling into the air.

This is... an obvious difference!

If Gion could sense a gap between her fighting power and Doflamingo's during their battle, then facing Corazon now, she felt that they were not on the same level.

"A...General?"

Gion murmured a sentence.

This level of difference gave Gion the feeling that Corazon's strength had reached the level of an admiral.

"Goodbye."

Corazon waved to Gion, who had stopped, and then leaped onto Don Quixote's pirate ship, sailing away with it.

A moment later, when Gion returned to the battleship and shared her feelings, Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression became completely serious.

"The Donquixote Family, a former Celestial Dragon family, what a nuisance! Doflamingo is dead, and now Rosinante has become the real problem?"

……

Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere prevailed on the Donquixote Family pirate ship.

All the Don Quixote family executives, seeing Corazon before them who resembled a ferocious beast, were ready to strike at any moment.

But now, Vergo, the Don Quixote family's highest-ranking official, wore a cruel smile on his usually expressionless face as he spoke.

“Traitor, I was just wondering where to find you and avenge the young master, but I never expected you to deliver yourself to my doorstep.”

"traitor?!"

Corazon chuckled dismissively and said, "Don't forget, this is the Don Quixote family's pirate ship, and I am the one with the surname Don Quixote."

"Ridiculous! Do you, a traitor, still dream of inheriting the Don Quixote family?" Vergo asked disdainfully.

"Of course not, what I want is to create a completely new Don Quixote family."

Corazon glanced at the officials in front of him and said.

"From now on, I will become the captain of the Donquixote Pirates. As my brother's former subordinates, I am giving you the opportunity to join."

"You?"

As Vergo spoke, he walked step by step toward Corazon, his entire body beginning to be covered with a dense Armament Haki.

Among Doflamingo's many former subordinates, Vergo, who is proficient in Armament Haki and various physical techniques, is the strongest in terms of pure combat strength, comparable to an elite vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

"In the past, it was only because of brotherly affection that the young master took you into the family and made you the highest-ranking officer. I never expected that you would turn out to be a traitor and now you even want to lead the Don Quixote family?"

Seeing Vergo, whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki and whose aura was extremely imposing, Corazon didn't waste any words and instantly swung down the scythe he was carrying on his shoulder.

The speed was so fast that Vergo had no time to react!

"Click...click!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the remaining Donquixote Family executives, Vergo, who had always relied on his full-body Armament Haki to act with impunity and possessed astonishing combat power, was cleaved in two by this single blow.

That astonishing Armament Haki defense was as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of Corazon!

"Vergo, you are a remnant of the old era. The new Don Quixote family has no need for you!"

Corazon's calm voice made many of the Donquixote Family executives subconsciously swallow, but they also saw the shadow of Doflamingo in it.

More importantly... it's powerful!

Corazon's display of power in instantly killing Vergo almost immediately impressed the rest of the Don Quixote family's officers.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

The Don Quixote family officials around him all knelt down.

Corazon took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the cadres in front of him, before he spoke.

"Our voyage destination, the Grand Line, no longer needs to be stuck in the North Sea."

"Yes, my lord."

After the Donquixote Family executives cleaned up their pirate ship and changed its shape to resemble a mantis, the Donquixote Family seemed to have been reborn and set off towards the Grand Line.

Meanwhile, in the captain's cabin, Corazon, having deactivated his "Holy Cry Mantis" form and returned to his normal human appearance, was using the power of the "Silence-Silence Fruit" to block out sound and communicate with someone via Den Den Mushi.

"Yan, the new Don Quixote family has been successfully established."

[Chapter 137 The Revolutionary Army's First Five-Year Plan]

As the Den Den Mushi ended, Aon couldn't help but stretch.

Not to mention Corazon, even Yern, who had created all of this, hadn't expected that Corazon would choose to inherit the Don Quixote family.

Furthermore, in the discussions between Corazon and Yann, the Don Quixote family would even maintain its share of arms deals within the underground organization.

After all, as long as there is demand, there will be a market.

It's important to understand that, aside from some pirates, the majority of arms dealers are countries embroiled in war.

Most countries do not have the capacity to produce arms and can only purchase them through arms deals.

Even if the Don Quixote family did not get involved in the arms trade, other underground organizations would still take away the Don Quixote family's original share, thereby reaping enormous profits.

However, unlike in the past, all the Don Quixote family's arms deals are now shared with the Revolutionary Army.

The revolutionary army could also obtain a large amount of intelligence on countries in turmoil through arms deals, thus enabling it to expand in a network-like manner.

In a sense, perhaps the sea will truly be at peace once the revolutionary army, through Don Quixote's arms dealing network, wipes out all the buyers.

And another particularly important point is that the revolutionary army also lacks the capacity for large-scale weapon production.

Therefore, the existence of the Don Quixote family could completely change the embarrassing situation that the revolutionary army had previously only been able to use scrap weapons.

After that, as long as the "amber lead disease" of the original citizens of Frevans is cured, those hard-to-hide albinism characteristics will be eliminated.

The revolutionary army will then have a large number of people, and can try to start working in various war-torn countries along the Don Quixote family's network.

Then, after carefully considering every detail of the plan, Yann slowly compiled a document.

"The Revolutionary Army's First Five-Year Plan - Sparks Spreading Across the Seas."

Looking at the title on the document he was preparing to hand over to Dorag, Yann felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

If this five-year plan can be successfully achieved, the revolutionary army will then be able to truly be considered a global organization.

At the very least, even if the World Government becomes aware of the Revolutionary Army's existence and danger, it will be unable to easily extinguish the sparks that are flickering across the sea.

Once a spark is extinguished, the scattered sparks will only create more sparks to ignite.

At that time, the revolutionary army will truly pass through the most dangerous nascent stage and enter the growth stage.

"I hope everything goes well..."
