Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

“Fine!” Yann said through gritted teeth, his tone full of bitterness and resentment, as if the money Corazon was demanding from him was his own.

“I’m not entirely sure about Hueco Mundo’s purpose either, perhaps it’s just one thing—'interesting'!” Corazon replied.

"What?" Yann.

"Perhaps the existence of Hueco Mundo is just for fun for the Lord of Hueco Mundo."

Corazon also spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

"In fact, the Lord of Hueco Mundo does not impose any restrictions or special constraints on the members of Hueco Mundo. They only need to obey his orders when he requires them."

After a pause, Corazon spoke with a tone of awe.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Lord of Hueco Mundo, he is merely changing other people's lives on a whim, and then enjoying a more interesting world?"

For a moment, the cell fell silent.

"God...?"

Someone uttered this casually, yet it instantly resonated with others.

This is an existence that, merely out of amusement, bestows terrifying power upon others, alters their lives, and then quietly observes the changing world.

Isn't it just... God?

And unlike the Celestial Dragons who call themselves "gods," this seems to be a true...god!

Then, Corazon said with a hint of regret.

"Now you understand why I couldn't help but laugh earlier, right? Issuing an arrest warrant for such a being is undoubtedly the biggest joke in the world."

"The so-called Hueco Mundo Organization is actually just a name given to us by the power bestowed upon us by the Lord of Hueco Mundo."

"Perhaps, our Hueco Mundo organization is just another name for 'those favored by the gods'."

Finally, Corazon concluded, "Consider this a bonus for the total seven billion Berries of information. After all, I don't want the World Government to anger the Lord of Hueco Mundo and cause this ocean to cease to exist."

Upon hearing Corazon's final warning, the Don Quixote family executives shuddered involuntarily, their minds conjuring up images of the sea being destroyed.

Yann nervously swallowed, making a "gulp" sound, and muttered incredulously.

"Does such a thing really exist in the world?"

"Ah……"

Corazon scoffed at this and made no further attempt to defend himself.

After a moment, once Yone's expression had regained some composure, he continued, "So, who are the members of Hueco Mundo? What are their abilities and identities?"

"This is a bit tricky..."

Corazon spoke with a hint of hesitation.

"The Lord of Hueco Mundo wouldn't care about the opinions of ordinary people like us, just as a dragon wouldn't care about the speculations of ants. So I don't need to worry about angering the Lord of Hueco Mundo."

"However... it's not appropriate to betray information about fellow Hueco Mundo members."

Yaen gave a cold laugh and said, "Someone like you, who first infiltrated your brother's side as a spy and then betrayed the Navy, trying to kill your sworn brother, would you care about such weak camaraderie?"

Corazon said with a smile.

"That's not how it works. After all, my sworn brother doesn't threaten my life, but my colleagues are monsters among monsters. If they find out that I leaked the information, I might get killed."

Enraged by Corazon's mockery, Yann seemed to breathe heavily, slowly squeezing out two words through gritted teeth.

"Add more money."

"How much more?" Corazon asked.

“One billion,” Yann said.

“Too little, add five billion,” Corazon replied.

“No, a maximum of one billion,” Yann insisted.

"Hehehe..."

Corazon said with a sneer, "Yarn, you're not paying for that money, so why are you making a scene?"

"What a joke! I'm a Marine! How could my justice allow a bastard like you to plunder the World Government's money?" Yan retorted righteously.

Corazon glanced at Yone with disdain, then said, "Hmph, at least add three billion, making it a total of five billion Berries. That'll answer your question."

At this moment, Yann hesitated for even longer, but finally agreed.

Corazon smiled smugly at this and then said.

"Only the Lord of Hueco Mundo probably knows exactly how many members the organization has. I only know some of the members that I am aware of, and I don't know their specific abilities, but their code names and ability names are consistent. That's all I can provide."

"What?!" Yann immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "You bastard, you dare ask for five billion Berries for this little bit of information?"

“You can still back out if you refuse now,” Corazon said dismissively.

Immediately, Yan hesitated, his eyes involuntarily glancing repeatedly at the Den Den Mushi in Lucci's hand, as if waiting for it to ring.

However, the Five Elders' Den Den Mushi failed to connect for a long time. It seemed that after receiving confirmation from the Five Elders, Aon continued speaking.

"Speak up, you bastard."

"Hahaha……"

Corazon laughed for a while, then said, "My own codename is 'The Crying Mantis,' as I've already said."

"Besides that, the organization members I know of are also known by the names 'Devouring Void', 'Cursed Eye Monk', 'Black Winged Demon', and 'Evil Lustful Consort'."

After a pause, Corazon said, "Including my five names, it's perfectly reasonable for me to charge you five billion Berries."

At this moment, Yann completely forgot to respond to Corazon's teasing and hurriedly took out his notebook to write down the names Corazon mentioned one by one.

Finally, Yann thought for a moment and asked, "So, the demon that appeared above the Holy Land of Mary Geoise was the 'Blackwing Great Demon'?"

"Yes."

Corazon replied.

"However, you can judge for yourselves what the powers implied by these nicknames are. Firstly, I am not very clear about them, and secondly, I dare not say, after all, I may not be a match for those monsters and I will be killed."

"Ah……"

Yone's expression was disdainful, but he deliberately asked a highly misleading question. "Isn't there the Lord of Hueco Mundo above you? You are the 'favored one of the gods'."

"What a laughable way of thinking..."

Corazon retorted sarcastically.

"If being killed by an ordinary ant might be a challenge to the dragon's majesty, the dragon might not mind that an ant it admires is killed by another ant it admires. In fact, it would just be an interesting sight for the dragon."

Y'en narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "So, you're saying it's normal for you to kill each other?"

Upon hearing this, Corazon moved closer to Yone and said, "Interesting, Yone, are you planning to use the power of the other Hueco Mundo members to kill me?"

After a pause, Corazon said with a hint of danger in his eyes.

"You can give it a try."

"Humph!"

Yarn snorted coldly, then said, "The key."

“What key?” Corazon asked.

Yaen held up the seastone handcuffs that bound him to Gion and said, 'The key.'

Corazon crossed his arms and said with amusement, "Sorry, that won't do!"

"What do you mean? You're not going to let me go?" Yann questioned.

“Of course. You’re a hostage. What if we let you go and then deny the 100 billion intelligence fee? Besides, the World Government hasn’t fulfilled its promise as a condition for joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea. How could we let you go?” Corazon retorted.

Immediately, Yann spoke loudly.

"Do you think the World Government is as despicable and shameless as a pirate like you? A mere 10 billion Berries, do you think the World Government would risk its own reputation by refusing to honor it?"

"Who knows?" Corazon shrugged, saying dismissively.

"You are such a short-sighted bastard, completely unable to appreciate the greatness of the World Government. No wonder you've fallen to the level of a pirate. You don't know what justice is, and you don't understand the preciousness of peace," Yann said disdainfully.

Corazon shrugged and said, word by word.

"In any case, Arn, you can't leave yet. Stay in the Kingdom of Dressrosa for now and let's brothers get together. I will... take good... good... take care of you!"

Seeing this, Lucci angrily said, "Lord Yann is not your prisoner. He stands here as a representative of the World Government. Do you intend to be rude?"

"That...does seem to make some sense..."

Kolason looked thoughtful for a moment, then smiled and said.

“In that case, Violet, arrange a room for Major General Arne, the representative of the World Government, in the palace.”

“Yes, young master,” Violet replied.

Immediately, Corazon tossed his black feathered cloak and walked out of the cell, saying, "Then, help me throw this little kitten out of the Kingdom of Dressrosa. I hate the CP organization."

"Yes!"

The next moment, in this confined space, Lucci had no chance to resist as he was pinned down by the Don Quixote family officers and carried toward the port.

As the other officers left the cell, Violet performed a courtly ceremony towards Arn and Gion, who were handcuffed with seastone handcuffs, and said...

"Please follow me, Major General Yann, Colonel Gion."

Aon and Gion exchanged a glance, and could only follow helplessly.

Soon, under Violet's guidance, Yann and Gion were settled into a guest room.

"Major General Yann, Captain Gion, this is your room. The maids will prepare food and other necessities for you. You are also welcome to go out and wander around if you are bored, but I hope you will not have any thoughts of running away."

After a pause, Violet pointed to her eyes and said.

“I am a user of the ‘Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit’, which allows me to observe things within a radius of 4000 kilometers. You have no chance of secretly leaving the Kingdom of Dressrosa.”

Immediately, Violet performed another courtly ceremony and was about to close the door for Arn and Gion before leaving when Gion called out to Violet.

"and many more."

"Does Captain Gion have any further questions?" Violet asked.
