Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Hahaha……"

Corazon and Tiger spoke in deliberately lowered voices.

During this arduous climb, which was almost like ascending to heaven, Kolason and Tiger naturally developed a competitive mentality and were secretly vying with each other.

As the laughter subsided, Corazon and Tiger, under the cover of night, quickly made their way towards the area of ​​Mary Geoise where slaves were imprisoned.

Under Corazon's "Silence-Silence Fruit" power, Tiger and Corazon were like two shadows that made no sound and could not be detected by Observation Haki, quickly flying through the area of ​​the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The slaves in the Holy Land Mary Geoise are divided into two main groups: one group consists of the Celestial Dragons' "toys," while the other group consists of slaves directly managed by the World Government. For ease of management, they are imprisoned in different areas.

If we calculate by quantity ratio, the number of slaves directly managed by the World Government is roughly ten to one of the Celestial Dragons' "toy" slaves.

“Mr. Corazon, that Hueco Mundo leader was captured by CP0 while severely injured, but we don’t know which area he’s being held in.”

Tiger and Corazon whispered as they infiltrated.

"Speaking of which, Tiger, what are the tasks you need to accomplish?" Corazon asked to confirm.

"Naturally, it's about rescuing the Hueco Mundo leaders and liberating the slaves of Mary Geoise, leading them to freedom," Tiger replied.

"Is that so? Then I will go to the slave area managed by the World Government, and Tiger, you will go to the slave area directly under the Celestial Dragons."

After a pause, Corazon continued.

"While we are rescuing the slaves, we will search for the whereabouts of the Hueco Mundo leader. After confirming the location of the Hueco Mundo leader, I will go to the important area of ​​the Holy Land Mary Geoise to create chaos and cover the evacuation of the slaves."

“Okay!” Tiger replied.

However, Tiger and Corazon went to different areas to rescue slaves, but they still couldn't find any trace of Yann.

until...

"Bru bru~"

"Mr. Corazon, one of my compatriots saw where the Hueco Mundo leader went and said that he had been taken to the Celestial Dragons' residence area by CP0 members." Tiger's anxious voice rang out.

[Chapter 160. By Order of the Lord of Hueco Mundo]

Will Tiger break his promise? Will he abandon the person who saved him?

Of course not!

How could Tiger ever face going to sea again after his savior refused to help him in his time of need?

Therefore, Tiger made a decision almost without hesitation: even if it meant breaking into the Celestial Dragons' residence area, he was determined to rescue the Hueco Mundo leader.

Although Corazon was somewhat bewildered throughout the process, the thought that it was an order from the ancient and mysterious "Lord of Hueco Mundo" gave him confidence, and he followed Tiger to the Celestial Dragons' residence area to carry out the rescue.

"The Hueco Mundo Organization!"

Tiger, who had no idea which Celestial Dragon's mansion Yann was in, chose the simplest and most direct method: calling out Yann's name in hopes of getting a response.

However, this sound echoed throughout the entire Celestial Dragons' residence area.

To Yann and the World Government, it seemed more like Tiger was shouting his organization's name, challenging the World Government with anger and disdain!

That's incredibly arrogant!

Yann stared in disbelief in the direction of the voice. Hearing that familiar voice, he never expected that before he could even pin the blame for killing the Celestial Dragons on Tiger, Tiger would directly smear the organization he had just founded.

And they were shouting so arrogantly in the Celestial Dragons' territory, it was simply lawless, and they didn't take CP0 and the Navy seriously at all.

At this moment, Yan knew that the information about the Hueco Mundo organization that he had painstakingly hidden in the North Blue was likely to be completely dug up by the World Government and the Navy, and the Hueco Mundo organization would be permanently placed on the World Government and the Navy's number one blacklist.

This left Yann, who only wanted to peacefully resolve the troublesome issue of Saint Musgard and then return to Marineford to continue being a laid-back navy man, feeling somewhat... disoriented.

As soon as Tiger shouted so arrogantly, five or six CP0 members immediately appeared in the Celestial Dragons' residence area and surrounded Tiger.

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of extremely intense sounds of flesh colliding rang out.

However, to Ya'en's surprise, he was unable to suppress Tiger despite being surrounded by five or six CP0 members.

On the contrary, the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, and there are even signs that they are spreading throughout the entire Celestial Dragons' mansion area.

This led to an increasing number of CP0 members joining the siege, quickly exceeding double digits.

Even so, the fighting showed no signs of abating.

"Tiger, is he that strong?!"

At this moment, even Yaen couldn't help but be somewhat shocked; this level of combat power was completely beyond Yaen's expectations.

"No, Tiger has accomplices, that silhouette is..."

As Arn carefully sensed the blurry outlines of the images projected into his mind by his Observation Haki, his eyes slowly widened.

"Co... Ra... Son?!"

That exaggerated, mantis-like scythe-shaped weapon could only be Corazon!

Furthermore, when Yann entered the mental space and roughly sensed it, he clearly realized that Corazon was very, very close to him.

It's confirmed, the step was wrong!

……

Ya'en.

"I……"

At this moment, Yann felt like vomiting blood. He hadn't even contacted Corazon for help yet, so how did Corazon end up in Marineford, and even fight alongside Tiger?

"Lord Yann, what's wrong?"

The three Boa sisters, seeing that Yann's face was turning pale and then green, couldn't help but ask him with concern.

"hiss……"

Ya'en waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, then took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although Yann hasn't quite figured out the specifics yet, one thing is certain: Corazon has become involved in Tiger's plan to rescue the slaves, and Tiger and Corazon likely entered the Celestial Dragons' residence area to search for him.

"How foolish! How reckless!"

Yann gritted his teeth as he commented on Corazon and Tiger's behavior!

Merely causing trouble on the outskirts of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, or even liberating slaves, might not necessarily provoke a full-scale counterattack and siege from the World Government and CP0.

However, directly attacking the area inhabited by the Celestial Dragons would be tantamount to digging up the roots of the World Government, and might even attract the appearance of the terrifying and unknown Im.

"That idiot Corazon, he was a Celestial Dragon himself, how come he doesn't even understand that, and he still followed Tiger and caused trouble here..."

As Yann pondered the situation, he muttered to himself.

"No, we must get Corazon and Tiger out of this extremely sensitive area as soon as possible."

"Corazon should not know that I was taken to Mary Geoise, and Tiger just shouted Hueco Mundo. Could he have mistaken that for my name?"

The thought of this possibility made the corners of Yann's mouth twitch.

What kind of thought process would lead to this misunderstanding?

However, this makes Tiger's behavior seem more plausible.

As for how Corazon ended up getting involved with Tiger, Yann had no way of figuring it out in the short term.

"Given Tiger's performance, he'll probably be killed in this area and won't leave until he finds himself..."

"But if I show myself directly, it's almost the same as revealing my identity, and how do I explain the presence of the Holy Musgarud here?"

"The situation is hopeless..."

Yann's thoughts kept racing, and finally, he glanced at Hancock unintentionally, his eyes brightening slightly.

A rather crazy and audacious plan emerged in the mind of the usually cautious Yann.

"It seems that there is no other way but to make the best of a bad situation..."

"Yarn murmured, and then began to give Hancock instructions on various details."

Meanwhile, Tiger and Corazon, who were causing a ruckus in the Celestial Dragons' residence area, were fighting at full power. Facing the combined attack of more than ten CP0 members, they showed no signs of defeat. On the contrary, they fought harder and harder, and even CP0 members were injured and forced to retreat from time to time.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the Musgarud Holy House.

"boom!"

The roof of the Musgarud Holy House was instantly ripped off, and a figure soared into the sky, its black wings spreading out, creating the illusion of something that blotted out the sun.

"What is that?!"

Just as the Celestial Dragons and CP0 members around them stared in astonishment at the demon-like figure, a mournful and shrill voice rang out within the mansion.

"Holy Lord Musgarud has been murdered!!!"

What?!!

These words spread like wildfire throughout the entire Celestial Dragons' residence area.

As Hancock transformed into a demon and donned a bone mask, she timely flapped her wings, unleashing her Conqueror's Haki with unbridled arrogance, and said coldly.

"By order of the Lord of Hueco Mundo, Musgarud shall be annihilated!"

[Chapter 161. Mythical Beast Species: Great Tengu Form]

As Hancock spoke words that sounded like a demonic judgment, the entire Celestial Dragons' residence fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Tiger wondered if that demonic figure was the same Hueco Mundo benefactor who had been wrapped in bandages earlier.

Corazon was greatly shocked, never expecting that the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" had given him the real mission of assisting Hueco Mundo members who were tasked with killing Saint Musgard.

This time, Hueco Mundo actually broke into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to kill Celestial Dragons. This is simply outrageous, showing no regard for the World Government whatsoever.

However, one thing is certain: if the World Government fails to execute the demon-like Hueco Mundo member, its prestige throughout the ocean will suffer a severe blow.

Corazon's guess was correct. CP0 Chief Frode, who had just rushed to the Celestial Dragons' residence area due to an enemy attack and was preparing to oversee the safety of the Celestial Dragons, suddenly turned extremely pale, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

The killing of a Celestial Dragon, especially in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, is undoubtedly a major blow to the World Government's prestige.

The next moment, before Chief of Staff Floyd could make a decision, Barak swiftly rose up from below Hancock, launching a full-force attack while shouting.

"Captain Yann, are you still able to help?"

As Barak's voice faded, to prevent Tiger from recognizing him, Yann, now dressed in his military uniform again, emerged from the broken roof. However, Yann's appearance was extremely pitiful, with half his body stained with blood, looking like he was seriously injured.

Even so, Yann's expression showed no sign of backing down; instead, he roared at Hancock with all his might.
