Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

If Yann remembers correctly, Shanks, who appears to be a pure pirate on the surface, also had a hidden background in the original timeline: he traveled alone to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to meet with the Five Elders.

Even if you said that this dangerous guy was Lord Im's illegitimate son, Yann would still think there was a certain possibility. How could he dare to easily believe and contact him?

Therefore, this ocean is both very large and very small.

Almost all top powers have intricate connections with the World Government, making it extremely difficult for Yann to resist the "Beast Pirates" with the help of external forces.

So... what should we do?

As Yann stared at Corazon's expectant gaze, he felt incredibly uneasy.

Let you let Corazon go back to being a pirate...

You impulsively saved Fisher Tiger...

It made you feel sorry for Corazon and Tiger and help fill the hole left in Mary Geoise...

If you greedily try to grab the World Government's release of all those resources, the total amount will be nearly a hundred billion peggs.

What should we do now?

With a blank expression, Yann adjusted his glasses and could only reassure Corazon, saying, "It's alright, Corazon, everything is still under control."

"Hmm, really? I knew you'd have a way, Yarn," Corazon said, as if he'd expected it.

fake!

Ya'en really wanted to answer with that, but on the surface he maintained a calm and indifferent expression.

After experiencing so many terrible accidents, Yann has come to realize one thing.

That means no matter what happens, you must always maintain a calm and composed expression, and wear extra pairs of pants to avoid being discovered that you've already wet yourself in fear, which could lead to a complete collapse of the situation.

Is it a big problem?

Great!

Is panicking helpful?

Useless!

Yann's fingers trembled slightly as he adjusted his glasses again and spoke.

"There are still six months until the Beasts Pirates' declaration of war. Six months is enough time for us to make a decision on how to deal with it, so there is no need to be anxious now."

“That makes sense!” Corazon.

"I will try my best to contact them regarding combat strength, but only the Lord of Hueco Mundo probably knows who the members of Hueco Mundo are. It's impossible to determine how much assistance we can get in the short term, so Corazon, it's most realistic for you to focus on becoming stronger."

As Yann spoke calmly, he subtly foreshadowed the possibility that he might falter in the future, in order to prevent Corazon from being unable to handle the blow.

"Get stronger?"

Corazon smacked his lips and said, "But my talent is limited."

"idiot……"

Yaen cursed angrily, then spoke to the mantis-shaped "void monster" lying in the very center of the Corazon mental space.

"Haven't you noticed the existence of that thing all along? The 'Holy Crying Mantis' you've unleashed is only a fraction of its most basic power. If you could subdue, or perhaps even submit to, that monster, the power you could unleash would be far greater!"

Immediately, Corazon realized what he meant and said, "Like the six-armed form you displayed when you controlled my body before, Yann?"

"That's right!"

Yann responded at first, then asked incredulously, "Are you only noticing this now?"

Corazon gave an awkward laugh and said dismissively.

"I always thought that the six-armed 'Holy Crying Mantis' form was formed with your power, but I didn't expect it was my fault."

……

Yaen. 'That idiot!'

Immediately, Corazon seemed to realize something and asked, "Speaking of which, Yann, you've never said what power the Lord of Hueco Mundo bestowed upon you."

Ya'en's expression remained unchanged as he casually replied, "It's a secret; you'll find out soon enough."

Then, without giving Corazon a chance to ask further questions, Yann continued.

"In addition, the Kingdom of Dressrosa may become a battlefield in the future, so we need to make preparations and arrangements for refuge within the next six months, and stockpile various supplies in advance."

“Okay!” Corazon nodded.

"And also..."

After a pause, Yann frowned slightly, but continued speaking.

"Maintain the experience Don Quixote has accumulated in developing underground forces in the North Sea, make contact with other underground forces in the 'New World' seas as soon as possible, develop underground forces, and then use underground channels to spread the word about the war that is about to break out."

“Hmm? Why?” Corazon asked.

Yaen shook his head without answering, and instead began to explain the remaining preparation details.

After all, Yann couldn't possibly explain to Corazon that the massacres hidden in the shadows over this sea were far more numerous than those exposed to the light of day.

As long as this war is watched by countless people, even someone as unscrupulous as Kaido of the Beasts will have to consider the impact.

Even if it really comes to the point where we have to abandon the Dressrosa Kingdom and maintain the mysterious facade of the Hueco Mundo organization, at least we can minimize the chances of the Beast Pirates indiscriminately slaughtering and venting their anger on civilians.

However, this preparation for the worst-case scenario was clearly not something that should be told to Corazon.

Ultimately, even when Corazon began to have doubts, Yann only explained that this way he could secretly inform the other Hueco Mundo members and try his best to gain more assistance from them.

By the time Yann and Corazon had finished refining the wartime plans and evacuation preparations for the Kingdom of Dressrosa, dawn had broken.

then……

As expected, when Arn woke up the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes again.

Unlike the previous night, this time Yann's dark circles were caused by a man.

[Chapter 220: The New Nine-Snake Emperor]

After that, things calmed down.

While the Kingdom of Dressrosa appeared calm on the surface, it was in constant flux beneath the surface, with tension running high. Yann and Gion became the most leisurely people in the entire country.

Handcuffed, Yann and Gion strolled around, their footsteps covering every corner of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

A beautiful sunflower field, a thrilling arena, a unique tribe of little people, and a warm and unrestrained folk culture...

It can only be said that the Kingdom of Dressrosa truly lives up to its name as the "fairy kingdom of love and passion".

Unfortunately, Aon and Gion were bound together, which meant that Aon could only understand the passionate and unrestrained folk customs with an objective and impartial attitude, but could not delve into their unique characteristics and the reasons for their formation.

The World Government's subsequent reaction was not unexpected. They did not refuse the various conditions and resources they had promised Corazon, but they delayed fulfilling them immediately.

Clearly, the World Government is also waiting for the outcome of the war between Corazon and the Beasts Pirates six months from now.

If Corazon's side resists, or even defeats, the Beasts Pirates, the supplies might be delivered to the Dressrosa Palace gates the next day.

Now that Corazon has been defeated and no other Hueco Mundo members have shown up, those supplies might be a gift from the World Government to the Beasts Pirates.

"It's tough..."

Wearing sunglasses and beach shorts, Yan lay on the beach, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings for any suspicious female agents carrying weapons, while his heart was filled with helplessness.

Where is Aon supposed to find enough Hueco Mundo members to deal with the Beasts Pirates within six months?

It's now certain that the World Government is testing Corazon's intentions, and the Beasts Pirates' declaration of war is precisely for this purpose.

After calming down completely, Yann gradually realized that what Corazon needed to do was not necessarily to defeat or repel the "Beasts Pirates", but simply to prove to the World Government the mystery and power of the Hueco Mundo organization.

Ultimately, while the World Government and the Beasts Pirates may have had many shady dealings, the growth of the Beasts Pirates has been detrimental to the World Government in every way.

One of the key reasons for the emergence of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system was that the World Government wanted to use it to help the Navy curb the growth of pirate groups.

In Yann's current assessment, Corazon only needs to prove to the World Government the mystery and power of Hueco Mundo.

Therefore, all Yann needs to do in the next six months is to find ways to get as many people as possible!

In any case, some powerful members of Hueco Mundo will definitely have to show up and confirm this in six months; otherwise, there's no way they can fool the World Government.

There are only two effective methods: cultivate existing Hueco Mundo members and recruit new strong individuals to join Hueco Mundo.

Training existing Hueco Mundo members is not as simple as it seems. One wrong move and you could ruin your account.

Like Corazon, who now sleeps almost 23 hours out of 24, it can be said that apart from dealing with some unavoidable physiological problems, Corazon spends the rest of his time either sleeping or preparing to sleep.

Of course, while the other Don Quixote family executives might think Corazon had completely given up, Yann knew very well that Corazon was now desperately trying to submit to the manifestation of the "Holy Crying Mantis" in order to unleash more of the "Holy Crying Mantis's" power.

Judging from the current progress, it seems unlikely that Corazon will achieve results within six months!

Among the existing Hueco Mundo members, aside from a large number of minors, the only one with any decent fighting ability is Hancock.

……

Meanwhile, at the port of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, also known as "Daughter Island," located in the doldrums.

Led by the ferocious sea monster, the Kuja Pirates slowly approached the shore amidst cheers from the citizens of Amazon Lily.

On this secluded island, every successful return of the Kuja Pirates signifies that their emperor has successfully conquered and brought back the necessary supplies for them.

However, under the watchful eyes of all the citizens, the first figure to step onto the red carpet that stretched from the Kuja Pirate Ship to the port was not the emperor they had always revered, but the peerless Boa Hancock!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the Amazonian citizens, Hancock once again set foot on her homeland as if no one else was there. Her calm and proud eyes swept over the environment that was both strange and familiar, and she murmured to herself.

"I'm finally back!"

Behind Hancock, her two younger sisters were already in tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

Living in the hellish realm of Mary Geoise, what sustained them countless times was this dream: the dream of returning to their homeland.

Now, the dream has come true!

Gradually, the citizens of Amazon Lily also came to their senses, some scolding, some exclaiming in surprise, and some discussing in a daze.

"Who is that? How dare they dismount before His Majesty! How utterly disrespectful!"

"A combatant from the Kuja Pirates? That's a completely unfamiliar face; I have no recollection of him at all."

"But didn't you notice how incredibly beautiful she is?"

"Yes, she's so beautiful, her figure is absolutely stunning!"
