Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

With Hueco Mundo drawing all the attention ahead, CP0 didn't have much suspicion about Yon; what they had just done was merely a routine inquiry.

And after that, there's probably nothing more for Yann to do. At most, he'll be charged with failing to protect the Celestial Dragons in time, resulting in demotion or even being fired.

However, this was exactly what A'en wanted to see, as it spared him the worry of being promoted to a high-ranking position in the Navy by Sengoku and having to endure surveillance that was beyond his years.

Immediately after gaining a clear understanding of his own condition, Yann's consciousness once again traveled to Corazon's mental space.

At this moment, within the inner walls of the Red Earth Continent, tens of thousands of slaves were still gathered there, their minds unsettled, with most of them in a state of confusion.

who am I?

where am I?

what am i doing?

As they followed Tiger's figure, seemingly ready to die, and leaped from the summit of the Red Line, the intense feeling of weightlessness made them dizzy. The surroundings shifted rapidly, and they could barely see anything, only knowing that they were falling, falling...

Until a series of violent gusts of wind surged up from below, constantly slowing their descent, and finally they landed on the bubble cable car port on the sea surface almost as lightly as if in a dream.

Immediately afterward, before they could even react, the people wearing animal hats that concealed their faces pushed them one by one into a hole in the outer wall of the Red Earth Continent in the corner of the Bubble Cable Car Port.

"Hurry, hurry, keep up with the ones in front."

"Go inside..."

"Hero Tiger is in there too, hurry up."

Amidst the constant urging, the tens of thousands of meters of elevation difference caused the still-dazed slaves to subconsciously follow the path ahead.

As for the giant slaves who were too large to enter the cave, they were swatted away one by one by a burly, tall, bear-like man.

Ultimately, the Revolutionary Army successfully transferred all the slaves before the Navy arrived at the Bubble Cable Car Port, and also used the "Push-Push Fruit" ability to erase the traces of the cave entrance.

……

"How is the situation?"

Having once again taken over Corazon's body, Yann asked Dragon beside him a question.

"Morley is still expanding the interior space, and soon he will be able to create a square that can accommodate all the slaves."

"Yes, after creating this square, give them light and quickly soothe the emotions of these people who have just been freed from slavery."

After a pause, Yann said helplessly.

"It's a pity you couldn't catch Tiger. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble as soon as Tiger showed up."

Dorag shrugged helplessly and said, "Who could jump that far, completely exceeding the buffer zone I created, and then just crash into the sea with a thud, knocking themselves unconscious?"

So, what Yann was most worried about eventually came to pass.

Fortunately, Tiger was exceptionally strong and entered the water with perfect form, so he didn't suffer a severe fall and was just knocked unconscious.

"Don't worry, Ivankov is treating Tiger, he should wake up soon," Dorag said.

Upon hearing the name Ivankov, Yann's expression immediately twitched, and he even subconsciously took a half-step back.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem? Ivankov is an excellent doctor," Dorag said, puzzled.

excellent?

Of course he/she is outstanding; he/she is the most outstanding person on the high seas.

As a user of the "Hormone Fruit," Ivankov, the "Queen of the Okama," possesses top-notch medical skills.

This guy with a twisted sense of humor likes to add unwanted hormones to other people's treatments, which inadvertently changes their gender.

Yaen strongly suspects that the next time he sees Tiger, he might become Zog, without the hook at the bottom.

“Dorag, there is something I must warn you about seriously,” Yann said in a serious tone.

"What?" Dragon asked.

"Even if I die, and my body gets cold soon, please don't let Ivankov treat me, I..."

Yarne's gaze was serious as he said, "I want to die as a man."

Just then.

"Hip-hop~~"

A strange, off-key voice sounded behind Yaen, and a face with a large head filter popped out from behind, saying something.

"Drag, is this the Chief of the General Staff? His assessment of me is truly disheartening, but..."

Ivankov suddenly struck a ballet-like pose, his massive body moving with the agility of a little swan, spinning on one leg to stand in front of Yann, and then struck a shameful pose, saying...

"Haha! I don't blame the Chief of Staff. After all, without personally experiencing the realm of transvestites, one cannot understand its wonder and freedom."

"Once you truly experience it, the Chief of the General Staff will understand what it means to be a man..."

Ivankov held out a hand and said, "She can also be skilled at wielding a feminine fist, and women..."

Ivankov suddenly reached out his other hand and stabbed it into his waist. His body changed rapidly, his chest bulged, his waist became thinner, his hips rounded, and his overall figure became slender. He then leaned towards Yann and said.

"Her boxing skills are just as good as a man's, and that's the wonderful realm of being a transvestite!!!"

Finally, Ivankov gestured with his hands to gather his chest as he promoted his product.

"Would the Chief of Staff like to give it a try? The world of humans and demons needs talents like the Chief of Staff to join in order to carry forward its glory."

"No need, thank you," Yann said decisively.

"Really not going to give it a try? Chief of Staff, some things can only be truly understood through personal experience. Just like the hero Tiger was once a slave, which is why he performed such a great feat to rescue slaves."

Ivankov said in a very seductive tone.

Suddenly, Yann felt inexplicably tempted.

After all, this body now belongs to Corazon...

[Chapter 178. Let's celebrate freedom!]

A female version of Corazon...

Arn roughly imagined the scene: his brothers turning into sisters, and thinking about it...

"Cough cough!"

After considering that Corazon might break off their friendship on the spot, Yann decisively dismissed the idea and said instead.

“Mr. Ivankov, the one speaking to you now is indeed the Chief of the General Staff, but this is not my body, but merely my consciousness, so perhaps next time.”

"Um?!"

Ivankov paused for a moment, then carefully examined Corazon and asked, "Something like a soul swap?"

"No, it's just borrowing my body, Ah... cough..."

Dorrag explained from the side.

"The Chief of the General Staff has a special status, and given the current circumstances, he cannot come to meet us in person. Therefore, he has temporarily attached his consciousness to Mr. Corazon."

Ivankov, who was well-versed in such abilities, was not surprised at all. Similar abilities were found in Devil Fruits such as the Soul-Soul Fruit or the Op-Op Fruit.

However, Ivankov couldn't help but say with regret.

"It's a pity, I thought I would be able to meet the Chief of the General Staff this time."

“There’s a chance, there’s a chance,” Yann said with a smile.

Immediately, Ivankov's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Then, Chief of the General Staff, how about we set a specific time to discuss and research the mysteries of the transvestites?"

"Haha..."

As Yann gave an awkward smile, wondering how to deal with Ivankov, a bearded giant emerged from the ground beside him. Strangely, however, his voice sounded like that of a young woman.

"My lord, the plaza is finished."

"So fast? Well done," Dragon praised.

When Yann glanced at Mori, the bearded giant seemed to blush and instinctively covered his ill-fitting skirt with his hands, saying...

"Who are you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Immediately, Yann quickly looked away, afraid of causing Corazon any unnecessary trouble in the future.

However, although the giant Mori had a strange personality and appearance, Yann knew that his abilities were extremely powerful.

This time, the temporary excavation of a cave capable of housing tens of thousands of slaves in the incredibly hard red earth was entirely due to the "Push-Push Fruit" ability of the giant Mori.

More than a hundred years ago, the giant Morrie was imprisoned as a great pirate in the sixth level of Impel Down, the underwater prison.

However, the giant Morrie secretly used his Devil Fruit powers to dig a huge tunnel between the sixth and fifth levels of Impel Down, and eventually escaped successfully.

To this day, the disappearance of the giant Morrie is still recorded in the files related to Impel Down.

However, Impel Down lists Giant Morrie as missing, believing he might have been eaten by other vicious pirates. They are unaware that Giant Morrie was the first person to escape Impel Down, more than a hundred years before Shiki the Golden Lion.

"This is Mr. Corazon, the man who climbed the Red Earth with the hero Tiger and rescued these slaves."

Dragon explained to the giant Mori.

"However, the ceremony of our Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff has now been attached to Mr. Corazon, so you can treat him as the Chief of Staff for the time being."

"Chief of the General Staff?!"

Giant Mori's eyes lit up immediately, and he popped his head out of the ground, excitedly saying...

"I've heard of you. You're a great man. Could you give me your autograph?"

???

Ya'en.

For a moment, Yann was at a loss for words as he watched the giant Morina act like a little fangirl.

Yaen was already used to being adored by the girls. After all, as an outstanding man, even if his physique was a little weak, he couldn't completely hide his own brilliance.

However, this was the first time that Ya'en had been worshipped by such a sweet girl.

"Alright, Mori, the Chief of the General Staff doesn't have much time left to possess, so let's not disturb him for now. He still has a lot to deal with," Dragon said, trying to help Arn out of the predicament.

"Alright then," Mori said with some disappointment, then led Dragon, Yann, and the others toward the square.

At this moment, the once dark square gradually became extremely noisy as all the slaves poured in.

Voices of doubt, shouts, calls for loved ones, discussions, and cries of pain and suffering...
