Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

? !

Ya'en.

Oh no, I think I let it slip!

Despite his inner turmoil, Yann remained outwardly calm, even displaying a gentle smile as he spoke.

"Even if I had to guess, I could tell you, you idiot, were definitely drinking coffee while I was away."

Robin's expression quickly shifted from surprise to delight, realizing he had inadvertently given himself away. He awkwardly tried to cover it up, saying, "I didn't drink it. I just wanted to taste it a little."

"Really? Anyway, you can't drink too much, it's bad for your health..."

Originally, Yann wanted to say that it was bad for physical development, but subconsciously he recalled the scene he had unintentionally seen when he first entered Robin's mental space.

After all, not everyone is as gifted as Hancock. For Robin's age, her current level of development is already far beyond the normal level.

In the end, Yann swallowed the word "development" back and said...

"It's bad for your health."

"I see."

Robin gave a brief reply, then asked a question.

"Speak, Brother Yan, you wouldn't be calling me if there wasn't anything wrong. You must have some official business related to the Revolutionary Army to give me, right?"

Having been guessed by Robin, Arn wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he awkwardly praised, "As expected, Robin is really smart..."

Robin didn't mind the awkward and stiff compliment; instead, she waited for Yann to continue.

Immediately, Yann's expression turned serious, and he spoke.

"Robin, contact the Revolutionary Army and ask them to collect as many Devil Fruits as possible, while trying to avoid attracting the attention of the World Government and the Navy. They can even buy them from black markets all over the sea. We will provide any funds they need."

"Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Robin seemed to have thought of something and said, "Brother Yan, do you need a lot of Devil Fruits?"

“Yes, a large number of Devil Fruits,” Yann confirmed.

"How much is 'a lot'? Are thirty-eight enough?" Robin asked.

"Initially, thirty Devil Fruits would be enough, but of course, the more Devil Fruits you have, the better..."

As they talked, Arn realized the hidden meaning in Robin's words and asked, "Wait, Robin, why did you say thirty-eight?"

"Because the castle's warehouse stores thirty-eight Devil Fruits," Robin stated truthfully, leaving Yan speechless with astonishment.

[Chapter 223 The Real One Piece]

Yann was completely stunned. Could Little Gold lay eggs... no, Devil Fruits or something?

Thirty-eight Devil Fruits, what does that mean?

In the black market, the lowest price for a Devil Fruit is 100 million Berries, while the actual average price reaches 200 million Berries. The value of 38 Devil Fruits is as high as 8 billion Berries!

Even the composed Yann nearly lost his composure and asked, "Where...where did these Devil Fruits come from?"

"Do you remember when you had Hancock kill Saint Musgarud, Yann?" Robin asked.

“Of course I remember,” Yann replied.

“At the time, I thought that since we had decided to make a big deal out of this, while you were pretending to be unconscious, I had Xiao Jin search the residence of Saint Musgarud to see if we could find anything of value, such as historical texts or records of the blank hundred years.”

Robin briefly recounted the events of that time, saying...

"After that, I followed the direction that Barak had taken to help the three Boa sisters retrieve their Devil Fruits, and I successfully found the treasure vault of Saint Musgard. Unfortunately, there was not a trace of historical texts or records of the blank hundred years inside. Instead, it contained a large amount of treasure, famous swords, and things like Devil Fruits."

Arne, who hadn't had a chance to enter the Little Golden Castle since Mary Geoise, was overjoyed to hear this and asked, "So... you... you managed to steal... and retrieve all of these things?!"

"Yes, they're all in the castle's storeroom."

Robin said calmly, "After a quick count, it turned out to be about thirty-eight Devil Fruits, 14 billion Berries, two famous swords, and some rare items that I couldn't identify."

Yaen swallowed hard, listening to this astronomical figure that he had never imagined before.

Too fat!

As expected of the Celestial Dragons, a race of world nobility who consider themselves gods, Saint Musgard is truly too fat!

It's not just about his physique, but more importantly, his savings are just too huge!

And this is just a small treasury that a young Celestial Dragon stored in his mansion. One can only imagine how enormous the wealth and assets controlled by the Celestial Dragons are.

"One Piece" isn't located on Laugh Tale, the "final island," but rather in the Celestial Dragons' residence area within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

It's a pity that I was too conservative back then. If Hancock had leaked a little bit of power when she transformed into "Blackwing Daima", it wouldn't have resulted in just one Celestial Dragon dying!

By a hair's breadth, Yann missed an opportunity to double his fortune.

After the death of Saint Musgard, the level of vigilance in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise has undoubtedly increased significantly in recent years, making it much more difficult to rob the rich and help the poor in the Celestial Dragons' residence area.

For a moment, Yann felt both surprise and regret.

"Yan, what's wrong? Shouldn't we have taken back those treasures?" Robin asked nervously, looking at Yan's constantly changing expression.

"No……"

Yann shook his head, and said with deep emotion, "I was just lucky to have met you back then, and even to have adopted you."

Taken aback by Yann's abrupt words, Robin replied somewhat awkwardly, "What...what nonsense are you talking about, you idiot?"

Ian, completely oblivious to Robin's expression, continued summarizing, "So, there's some truth to the saying 'good deeds are rewarded'!"

Good person? Good reward?

Robin was confused.

Immediately, Yann stopped hesitating. He put aside the more than 10 billion Berries for now, mainly because he preferred playing Fruit Ninja.

Then, at Yann's command, Little Gold flew in through the room window and landed on the floor next to Yann.

However, since Gion was lying right next to him, in order to avoid making too much noise, Xiao Jin could only carefully place the Devil Fruits out one by one, like laying eggs, waiting for Yann to cut them off.

Soon, all thirty-eight Devil Fruits, worth nearly 10 billion, were cut up by Yann. The strange energy gathered and formed a new prototype of a void monster in Yann's mental space.

In the days that followed, Yann waited for three full days before the brand-new "Void Soul-Slaying Blade" was finally fully formed.

A pack of wolves!

This is the name of this "Void Soul-Slaying Blade," a very simple name, but it represents an extremely terrifying void monster.

Furthermore, unlike the other "Void Soul-Slaying Blades," when "Wolves" was conceived and born, Yaon understood that in addition to providing comprehensive enhancements, its true ability was to split the soul!

very scary!

Without a doubt, if the true power of the "Wolves" can be fully unleashed, then the person who is granted the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade" will definitely be stronger than the "Black Wing Demon" and the "Holy Crying Mantis".

Even Yaen was somewhat baffled by the ability of "soul splitting." It was clearly very powerful, but he didn't know how to maximize its potential.

"Who is there? A suitable candidate whose abilities are compatible with the 'soul splitting' ability?"

In the following days, aside from recalling those powerful figures on the high seas who could be recruited but had not yet become truly famous, Yann kept flipping through the bounty posters, searching for suitable candidates.

After all, there are less than six months left before the war with the Beasts Pirates begins!

Therefore, those promising candidates must be abandoned, and only those who already possess considerable strength and can unleash the true power of the "wolves" must be chosen.

In the end, after searching extensively, Yann found that there were not many suitable candidates, or rather, almost no room for choice.

Moonlight Moria!

A pirate supernova from several years ago, a man who once clashed head-on with the "Beasts Pirates" and even fought a direct battle with Kaido of the Beasts.

In the end, however, Gecko Moria turned pale, and all his companions died in front of him.

Subsequently, Gecko Moria disappeared into the sea.

Therefore, the pirates of this era were incredibly reckless.

While great pirates like Newgate Edward, Kaido of the Beasts, and Charlotte Linlin were vying for the title of "Emperor of the Sea," the Supernovas were relentlessly challenging established pirates, hoping to gain fame by stepping on their corpses.

Crocodile and Gecko Moria's contemporaries almost all made the same choice. However, unlike Gecko Moria who challenged Kaido of the Beasts and Crocodile who challenged Whitebeard and survived their defeats, the most tragic were those Supernovas who challenged "BIG MON" Charlotte Linlin.

[Chapter 224 Moonlight Moria]

Charlotte Linlin, nicknamed "BIG MON," is capricious, sometimes cruel and ruthless, sometimes childlike and innocent. She is also an exceptionally bloodthirsty pirate who takes pleasure in slaughter.

However, in Charlotte Linlin's hands, life is like an interesting toy, or a plaything, which she can manipulate at will.

And those pirate supernovas who challenged "BIG·MON" Charlotte Linlin have almost all met the same result in recent years.

That is... becoming Charlotte Linlin's husband!

Even though Aeon was still lying on the beach sunbathing, she couldn't help but shiver when she inadvertently imagined an unnecessary scene, which even drew a questioning look from Gion.

That's terrifying...

Compared to becoming Charlotte Linlin's husband, the steel wool trial is nothing.

Charlotte Linlin is exceptionally gifted, earning her the nickname "Iron Balloon." This means that Charlotte Linlin is born with a terrifyingly strong physique, and has even developed her own skin defense that is comparable to the "Steel Skin" attached to the "Soul Cry Mantis."

More importantly, Charlotte Linlin's "steel balloon" seems to be the kind that is effective from all angles.

It's fair to say that over the years, every single man who became Charlotte Linlin's husband was essentially a consumable.

Therefore, the pirate supernovas who fell into Charlotte Linlin's hands, even if some survived due to being disliked, were basically all completely ruined.

Crocodile and Gecko Moria were the only lucky ones. At least compared to Charlotte Linlin's physical and psychological torment, Crocodile and Gecko Moria were only severely affected.

Immediately, Yann picked up the current bounty poster for Gecko Moria. He saw that Gecko Moria on the poster was still a strong and muscular man, far from the fat man he would become in the future.

'He shouldn't be completely useless yet, right, Moonlight Moria...' Yann muttered silently.

However anxious Yann was, he could only wait for the Revolutionary Army's search for Gecko Moria to come to an end.

After all, Gecko Moria is the best candidate right now. Whether it's his grudge against the Beasts Pirates or his Devil Fruit ability to manipulate shadows, it seems that only he can maximize the power of "soul splitting".

"A storm is brewing..."

Yann adjusted his sunglasses, looking at the clear weather, yet he could already feel the storm brewing and approaching the Kingdom of Dressrosa from behind.

"Hopefully we can make it in time."

Hearing Arn's mutterings, Gion asked, "In time for what?"

Ya'en gave an awkward smile, revealing a pure and innocent one, and replied, "It's nothing."
