Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Of course, Gion still had some doubts in her heart and asked.

"Commander Yan, do you think the World Government will really spend 10 billion Berries to ransom us back?"

Yaen smiled and said, "There's no need to ask such obvious questions anymore."

With Aon's words of comfort, Gion felt much more at ease.

However, in fact, Yan knew very well that under normal circumstances, let alone a mere rear admiral or captain, even if a navy admiral were taken prisoner, the World Government might not necessarily offer billions of Berries to ransom them.

This has nothing to do with whether the World Government has the ability to pay billions of Berries, but rather that the World Government would consider negotiating such a deal with pirates to damage its prestige.

Putting aside other matters, Lucci's decision to kill all the hostages first when pirates kidnapped soldiers from member states of the World Government and demanded ransom is enough to demonstrate the World Government's attitude and approach to such incidents.

However, this time, Yann was well aware that in addition to paying the various conditions for Corazon to join the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," the World Government would also pay the additional 10 billion Berries in full.

Even if Arn and Gion hadn't become prisoners or hostages, the same thing would have happened.

Because the World Government still needs Corazon to provide more intelligence about Hueco Mundo. At least until they have fully confirmed the truth about Hueco Mundo, they will not give up on winning Corazon over.

Therefore, Yann, who essentially just wanted to laze around in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, naturally had no worries about his safety.

'Now I can finally have a proper vacation...'

Looking out the window at the beautiful sea of ​​flowers in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Yann felt a surge of joy.

However, at that moment, a huge explosion rang out, abruptly interrupting Yann's beautiful mood.

"boom!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice resounded throughout almost the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"Huh? Is this where the Hueco Mundo organization members are? Corazon, codenamed 'Holy Crying Mantis,' get out here."

The next moment, another series of roars rang out, and a large cloud of dust slowly rose from the port, with large swathes of port buildings faintly visible disappearing.

Intruders?!

Soon, the Don Quixote family executives, who had been in the banquet hall, all appeared and rushed towards the port.

Watching the Don Quixote family executives walk away, Gion couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Aan, what should we do? This seems like a good opportunity to escape."

Yaen hesitated for a moment, then said, "No rush, let's go over and take a look first."

"it is good!"

Now, Gion, who gradually becomes completely obedient to Aon, has no objections whatsoever.

However, due to Aon's poor health and the fact that he was still under the suppression of "Seastone", Aon and Gion could only walk over slowly.

Meanwhile, the battle in the port area had already broken out in full force.

The colossal rock giant created by Pica appeared, with streams of water shooting into the sky and the aftershocks of its flying slashes continuously exploding outwards.

The fact that all the Don Quixote family executives seemed to have joined the attack under the attack of that unknown enemy speaks volumes about the terror and power of the invaders.

This made Yann's expression gradually become serious!

Although there are countless powerful individuals in the "New World," the latter half of the Grand Line, a powerful individual who can force the entire Donquixote Family into this position is no ordinary person.

Not to mention that with Corazon's current strength, even if he can't fully unleash the power of "Holy Cry Mantis", he is already a top-tier powerhouse at the highest level of the ocean.

Finally, as Yann reached a high-rise building near the port, overlooking the port's situation, he finally understood what kind of invaders had driven the Don Quixote family to this point.

He was strong and large, with muscles like steel. He had thick blond hair tied in a ponytail and two braids. He wore a metal jaw on the lower half of his face, and most notably, he wore two ivory-shaped ornaments on his head and shoulders.

Jack the Drought, one of the "Three Disasters" among the top executives of the "Beasts Pirates," has a bounty of one billion Berries!

At this moment, Jack remained completely still despite being surrounded and attacked by the Don Quixote Family executives.

No matter how the Don Quixote family officers attacked, their blows seemed to have no effect on Jack's body.

"The Ultimate Secret Technique of the Earth-Slaying Fist: Combat Protection Fist - G-Seal!"

"Hellish Ten Thousand Tons of Byzantium!"

Ultimate Horn Collision

……

No, to be more precise, this was not a normal battle at all. Jack simply stood there calmly, allowing the Don Quixote family executives to surround and attack him.

But... it didn't work!

Whether it was a combat technique, a natural attack, or a Devil Fruit ability, all sorts of attacks landed on Jack without injuring him or even causing him to take a step back or blink.

"Get out of the way!"

Pica, who had condensed into a rock giant the size of a dozens of-story building, emitted his distinctive shrill female voice as he controlled the rock giant to swing his mountain-sized fist at Jack.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar shook the earth, and the ground throughout the port cracked under Pica's attack, with thick smoke and dust sweeping outwards like a storm.

however……

"What a feeble attack. Is this the strength of the pirate crew of Hueco Mundo members?"

Jack's disdainful voice emanated from beneath the rock giant's fist, causing the Don Quixote Family's executives to shrink in surprise.

How can it be? !

The rock giant formed by Pica may have many flaws, such as slow movement and insufficient hardness, but its power is terrifying.

Is it really impossible to harm "Drought" Jack even like this?

Is this the terrifying power of "Drought" Jack, one of the three calamities of the "Beasts Pirates"?

[Chapter 215 "Drought" Jack]

Just as the Don Quixote family executives were reeling from the horror of Jack the Drought, Pica heard a horrified scream.

"What...what happened?"

The next moment, the cracks in the port ground spread another third, and the huge rock giant trembled as Jack wrapped his arms around the rock giant's fists and then suddenly exerted force.

"call……"

Compared to the colossal rock giant, Jack, whose body was the size of an ant, transformed into the shape of a mammoth in his lower body and actually flung the rock giant away, sending it crashing into the sea outside the harbor.

"boom!"

The rock giant crashed into the sea with a deafening roar, shooting skyward amidst the surging spray.

This scene, which unleashed Jack's unparalleled power, deeply shocked everyone present.

How terrifying!

The Don Quixote family executives all took a step back, feeling their throats go dry.

This kind of enemy is completely beyond the capabilities of someone of their size to contend with.

Is this all there is to it?

As Jack slowly transformed back into human form, he casually smashed the rock giant's fist, twisted his neck left and right, making a series of chilling joint cracking sounds, and said.

"You little brats who barged in from the North Sea, it seems you're simply not suited to live in the 'New World'!"

These words sent shivers down the spines of the Don Quixote family's officers, yet they were utterly speechless.

too strong!

Jack the Drought's power shattered the Don Quixote family's growing pride and arrogance almost instantly.

Only now did the Donquixote Family executives realize how far they were from becoming a true great pirate crew.

There was no need for the entire Beasts Pirates to come out; Jack the Drought, one of their top officers, was enough to easily defeat them all, and Jack himself remained unharmed.

"Hey……"

In fact, Jack didn't take those Don Quixote family executives seriously at all. From beginning to end, Jack's eyes were on Corazon. Seeing that Corazon hadn't moved or made a sound for a long time, Jack spoke again.

"You must be Corazon, the captain of the Don Quixote family. Aren't you going to make a move? Otherwise, I'll have to wipe out these brats!"

Upon hearing this, Corazon took a few steps forward, shielding the Don Quixote family executives behind him, and asked, "'Drought' Jack, what is your purpose in coming here?"

"Purpose?!"

Jack's eyes were filled with cruelty as he spoke.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all. It's just that you've become quite famous lately, and your bounty has instantly increased to more than mine. You even dared to go to the 'New World,' which makes me very unhappy!"

"Is that all?" Corazon asked.

"if not?"

Jack approached step by step and said, "Teaching you ignorant brats a lesson is one of my greatest pleasures."

"Sizzle~"

The next moment, Jack suddenly leaped high into the air, his massive body soaring into the sky. He drew two scimitars from behind, the lower half of which was a straight blade and the upper half a sickle-shaped blade, and slashed them down at Corazon.

"The Crying Mantis!"

Corazon was not going to be careless either, and instantly unleashed his "Holy Crying Mantis" form, wielding two scythes as he charged forward.

"boom!"

Instantly, the two figures, whose size differed by about five times, collided without any fancy moves. Sparks flew, the earth cracked open, and the aftershocks of the collision boomed in all directions.

The battle has begun!

Jack and Corazon were like two real wild beasts, constantly clashing and brandishing their weapons at each other.

With both sides unleashing their full power, almost instantly, a large portion of the port's land collapsed and sank into the sea.

As Yann watched the battle from afar, his brows furrowed.

How did "Drought" Jack suddenly appear here?

It's important to know that, according to intelligence from the Marine Headquarters, the Beasts Pirates are currently based in Wano Country, which is almost as far from the Dressrosa Kingdom as Marineford is from the Marine Headquarters.

Only one day passed between Corazon's occupation of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and Yann receiving orders from the Five Elders, and Yann, who arrived in Dressrosa aboard a naval warship, had only arrived the previous night.

Given that "Drought" Jack arrived in the Dressrosa Kingdom right after Yann, if Jack started from Wano Country, then we can deduce that the time he left the Dressrosa Kingdom was almost identical to the time Yann left Marineford.

However, putting aside whether the Beasts Pirates' intelligence channels could keep track of the changes in the Dressrosa Kingdom, Jack the Drought's motives are rather strange.

and many more……
