Pirates on Top of the War: I Will Stand In the Sky

   Chapter 445 Draw your sword, Ion!

Before   , Ion went missing fishing on time during the day and was erratic; at night, Ion stayed at home and took care of the children. Even if Gion wanted to contact Ion, there was no chance at all.

   After all, Gion couldn't do something... inappropriate in front of Sora and Ying.

  Now, after finally arranging Sora and Ying to go out with Zefa, Gion, who originally wanted to wait a few more days to find a proper reason to come to the door, was sleepless tonight.

so……

  Gion's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the man in front of him who had changed a lot from his previous appearance.

   When he first met, he gave the impression that he was gentle and frivolous, so frivolous that he even characterized the so-called dream as finding a strong wife.

   Now, this man doesn't seem to have that weak feeling anymore, instead he has a bit more mature temperament of the vicissitudes of life, and his behavior is completely different.

   Immediately, Gion put one hand on the handle of the "Golden Pira" at his waist and asked. "Lieutenant General Ion, do you mind going out with me for a walk?"

   Ion, who was also somewhat insomniac at first, hesitated for a moment, but nodded and agreed to the invitation.

  After all, Ion also needs to find a chance to have a good conversation with Gion about some things.

   Immediately, Ion didn't change his nightgown, and walked side by side with Gion towards the outside of the courtyard.

  Tonight's night seems to be particularly bright, and it falls softly on Marin Vando, making this island full of seriousness a little more tranquil.

   And Ion and Gion also walked slowly towards the coast, feeling the night wind blowing by and listening to the sound of the waves beating in their ears.

   "Lieutenant General Ion, we haven't walked together like this for a long time, haven't we?" Gion's voice was no longer as strong as usual, but rather softly.

"Um……"

  Ion couldn't help but recall and said. "The last time I walked like this was seven years ago in Dressrosa Kingdom?"

   "Seven years? Has it been so long? In my mind, it still feels like it was yesterday." Gion said.

  Ion moved in his heart, vaguely feeling the emotion in Gion's words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gion next to him.

  Until now, under close inspection, Ion realized that Gion's makeup seemed to be deliberately dressed up, less heroic and powerful, but more charming and beautiful than usual.

only……

  Ion suddenly realized something, retracted his gaze, sighed secretly, and said. "Yeah, it's been seven years. After all, Sora and Ying are already over six years old."

   Hearing these words, Gion's footsteps stopped immediately.

   And after Ion took two steps forward, he also stopped, turned his head to look, and found that Gion was half-headed, and he couldn't see his expression at all in the night.

   "Lieutenant General Ion, obviously..."

   "Huh?" Ion heard the mosquito-like voice, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

   The next moment, Gion raised his head abruptly, looked directly at Ion and said. "Obviously I met you first!"

   Facing Gion's hot and determined gaze, Ion couldn't help but look away and said helplessly. "This... is not a matter of first knowing, but..."

"what is that?"

  Gion's expression was full of firmness.

   "My heart, don't you understand? If you are worried about Sora and Ying, I will try my best to get along with them as best I can."

  Ion's eyes widened slightly, and he had no idea that Gion's determination had reached this level.

   Obviously, the two sides have not seen each other for nearly six years!

  Ion turned his eyes, reflected Gion's figure in his eyes, and said softly. "Your thoughts, I have already received..."

   "Just, sorry, Gion..."

  Suddenly, Gion's expression, which had a hint of joy on his face, froze.

   Immediately afterwards, Ion said word by word.

   "Unfortunately, the object you want to express is not the real me. You... didn't really see me clearly, so I still can't accept your thoughts, otherwise..."

   paused, Ion smiled helplessly and said. "In that case, wouldn't I be a man to play with my mind? Gion, I don't want to hurt you."

  Gion's expression was full of complexity, and he muttered unwillingly. "No...impossible..."

   "Gion, I'm sorry."

   After saying that, Ion pursed his lips tightly, moved his footsteps, crossed Gion in front of him, and walked back in the direction of the courtyard.

"and many more……"

  But, before Ion could go far, Gion's voice came from behind him.

  Ion turned his face slightly and asked. "What's wrong?"

   "Remember our meeting? Ion..."

   The next moment, the voice of "Kimpira" unsheathed clearly sounded behind Ion, and the unique sense of oppression belonging to the great swordsman followed, which made Ion's hair stand on end.

  Gion... You won't express your feelings for failure, are you going to stab me on the spot?

  Suddenly, Ion's muscles subconsciously tensed, ready to deal with the attack.

   "I don't believe that the object of my thoughts is not you. Just like the encounter in the past, I believe that the truth recognized by the intersection of swords and swords will not be false."

   "Do I end everything with you in the same way I started, or let me really see myself, see you clearly, and start a new chapter..."

   "Draw your sword, Ion!"

   In the end, Gion's voice can be described as sonorous and powerful, full of sharpness and oppression.

   And Ion slowly turned around, looking at the woman in front of him who was drawing a sword under the moon, and then slowly pulled out the Soul Chopping Sword from his waist.

   "Gion, if this is your choice, then... as you wish..."

  The night wind blew, and the eyes of Ion and Gion met, but they were full of collision, just like the first encounter.

next moment……

   "Blublu..."

   A series of rapid phone bug alarms suddenly sounded in this little gold body on Yen's shoulders, making Yen's expression change.

"and many more……"

  Ion hurriedly raised his hand to stop Gion from taking the lead in attacking, and hurriedly took the phone bug that Jin took out from the castle.

   "Father, help!!!"

  Sora's urgent and clear voice rang from the phone bug. "The trainee ship was attacked, and Teacher Zefa was seriously injured..."

   However, before Sora's voice could finish, a series of chaotic voices came out.

   "Empty, dodge!"

   "Huh? So there's a kid hiding here, um, hey, watch me tear you apart..."

   The next moment, the communication was completely interrupted.

"Snapped!"

   In his rage, the phone bug in Ion's hand almost instantly turned into dust, his expression was like a ghost, and he exuded a terrifying aura that even made Gion subconsciously fear.
