Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

“This is really incredible.”

At this moment, Corazon, who was sitting on the throne with his crown askew, seemed to understand something, smiled slightly, and spoke.

"Hehe, speaking of which, I've been a witness to Arn's love life over the past six months. If they get married in Marineford, they can let me know."

Immediately, as Corazon spoke up to define the situation between Arn and Gion, the World Government officials all echoed his sentiments.

"Lord Rosinante is right. As the link between the World Government and the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Major General Yann has continuously strengthened the relationship between the two countries and even forged a beautiful marriage. It is indeed a wonderful story."

"Definitely, definitely. The World Government will definitely invite Lord Rosinante to attend Major General Yann and Captain Gion's wedding."

“That’s right, Lord Rosinandi is Major General Yann’s sworn brother, isn’t he? Then he definitely can’t be absent then.”

……

Ya'en.

Corazon, you bastard, what trouble are you causing now?

Seeing that the world government officials were constantly fawning over Corazon, almost to the point where Yann's life was being planned out to the point where he would need Corazon's help to name his child, he immediately spoke up to interrupt.

"Corazon, now that you've gotten what you were entitled to, shouldn't you remove these seastone handcuffs from my hands?"

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, one of the World Government officials almost flew into a rage and shouted at Yann.

"Major General Yann, don't think that just because you have made indelible contributions to re-establishing ties between the World Government and the Kingdom of Dressrosa, you can be so disrespectful to Lord Rosinante."

……

Ya'en.

These world government officials truly deserve the title of "lackeys"!

So good to lick!!!

Corazon, however, spoke with displeasure, "Hey? How could you speak to my sworn brother like that?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Rosinante, I am very sorry." The World Government official bowed repeatedly in apology.

Immediately, Corazon stood up from his throne, walked to Yorn, and gestured to Rao G., instructing Rao G. to unlock the seastone handcuffs for Yorn and Gion, while saying something with a hint of sarcasm.

"Ya'en, it's a real shame. It seems we can't have you stay any longer. But don't worry, I'll keep your room for you and wait for you to come back."

"Hehehe..."

With his seastone handcuffs removed, Arn twirled his wrists and retorted defiantly, "Who knows, maybe next time I'll be the one inviting you to stay at Marineford?"

Corazon laughed and said, "Hahaha, what a pity. Now that I am a Shichibukai, the Navy has no right to arrest me. But when you get married, I will naturally go to Marineford."

"asshole……"

"Sooner or later, I will arrest you, in the name of justice," Yarne said, his face as cold as ice.

Justice? A hypocrite.

Corazon couldn't help but laugh arrogantly and unrestrainedly. After completing the conversation that had been specially arranged and discussed beforehand, he turned back to his throne and spoke in a domineering and arrogant tone.

"On this vast ocean, only power is true justice."

"Humph!"

Yann snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, looking as if he was irreconcilably opposed to Corazon, and turned and left the council hall without giving any face.

Behind Yann, Corazon's unrestrained laughter continued to ring out, as if he was gloating over something.

Soon, Borsalino and Gion also left the council hall and caught up with Arn at the palace gate.

"Major Admiral Yann, are you perhaps puzzled by the World Government's attitude towards Corazon?" Borsalino asked, looking at Yann's indignant and dissatisfied expression.

“Yes, what exactly happened?” Yann asked.

"call……"

Borsalino, recalling the sea that had been evaporating the day before, said with an unusually grave expression, "Because... the World Government is afraid."

"What?" Not only Aon, but even Gion asked in confusion.

Borsalino then answered his own question.

"Indeed, there's no reason not to be afraid of such a power that can truly destroy the world. I'm afraid it's not just the World Government; all the forces across the entire ocean must now feel complete awe towards Hueco Mundo."

"What exactly happened?" Gion pressed.

"During the battle with Kaido of the Beasts, a terrifying monster appeared in Hueco Mundo that could evaporate the ocean with just the aftershocks of its power!"

Borsalino said, enunciating each word clearly, "Afterwards, calculations by the World Government's Science Department estimated that the flames wielded by that monster had reached a temperature of over 1500 million degrees, truly comparable to the heat of the sun."

"On that day, the entire New World Ocean felt the intense heat. The sun hanging in the sky was practically evaporating the entire sea, and the violent heatwave swept through every corner."

"If that fireball, comparable to the sun, hadn't only lasted for ten breaths, not to mention whether the ocean would have truly evaporated and countless lives would have perished, at least the magnetic field of the New World's oceans would have been completely disrupted, causing utter chaos."

[Chapter 254: Comparable to a Myth]

Upon hearing this, Gion swallowed hard, listening as if to a myth, and murmured, "What's that monster's name?"

"Who knows?"

Borsalino shrugged, then pursed his lips in the direction of the palace and said.

"Those world government officials are now begging King Don Quixote, hoping to get information about that monster."

In response, Yann, just like Gion, displayed a mixture of shock, awe, and helplessness, making a perfectly acceptable expression. However, he had already anticipated the outcome for the world government officials.

Licking? Would it even work?

Useless!

Because even Corazon had no idea who possessed that terrifying power capable of evaporating the ocean.

However... when we're short of money, we might consider selling this information to the World Government as well.

Of course, this time Yann's asking price is definitely not as simple as 10 billion.

At least... 50 billion?

Sure enough, there's no faster way to make money than maintaining a persona and then exploiting those who don't like you.

But... is the power of the "Broken Blade" really that terrifying?

Listening to Borsalino's serious description, Yann belatedly swallowed.

On the day that Arn was unable to maintain the "Broken Blade", he only noticed that many fish seemed to be cooked and floating on the sea surface. He never expected that the power of the "Broken Blade" would affect the entire New World sea area.

This left Yann feeling both vaguely fearful and somewhat helpless.

After all, with Aon's current spiritual pressure, using the "Zanka Katana" is no less than being a true man in the last five seconds, and he has absolutely no control over the power of the "Zanka Katana".

Initially, Yann had also fantasized about using the power of the "Zanka Katana" to quickly kill Kaido of the Beasts, thereby intimidating the World Government.

However, Aeon didn't have enough spiritual pressure to support the slash, so it just hung in mid-air like a light bulb.

Borsalino glanced discreetly at Arn and Gion's reactions before speaking.

"However, the World Government is the one who needs to worry about this the most, so we don't need to deal with it for now. Let's go, let's return to port."

Arn and Gion nodded and followed Borsalino to Marineford, the naval headquarters, as the warship returned to base.

During the one-day buffer period, the news agency's president, Morgans, had already compiled the latest newspaper and disseminated it throughout the world.

"A god who can manipulate 15000000 degrees of fire? Kaido of the Beasts flees in panic!"

That day's newspapers not only featured a huge headline on the front page, but the majority of the entire paper was also about the Hueco Mundo organization.

And then, the world fell silent!

A small sun stretching across the sky, a heatwave sweeping across the seas of the new world, and the ocean visibly evaporating!

Completely driven mad by this big news, Morgans disregarded the face of the World Government and the existence of the Celestial Dragons, and unabashedly named that mythical monster "God" in the newspaper!

Following that, Morgans printed a large number of pictures in the newspaper.

An image of Kaido, the Azure Dragon, fleeing in panic with his back to Yann;

Images of countless pirate ships spontaneously combusting and frantically fleeing;

Images of the ocean evaporating at a visible rate;

And images of islands in the New World Seas being hit by heat waves at the same time; Morgans even managed to get a comparison image of the Holy Land Mary Geoise with its usual appearance!

Later, Morgans recounted in detail in the newspaper how the Beasts Pirates declared war on the Donquixote Family, ultimately leading to the appearance of that "god".

Then, Morgans, from who knows where, gathered information about Corazon's past, compared it with Corazon's transformation after joining Hueco Mundo, and even summarized the information about Corazon's self-proclaimed "favored by God," and drew a conclusion:

"The Lord of Hueco Mundo possesses the power to grant humanity the ability to dominate the seas, and even to destroy them!"

Finally, Morgans even stated it bluntly in a believer's tone:

"Before today, the sea was never short of monsters and legends, but from this day forward, living myths descend upon the sea!"

I, Morgans, hereby implore the Lord of Hueco Mundo, that I am willing to give everything to join the Hueco Mundo organization!

In an instant, this monumental event, comparable to a myth, exploded in the minds of countless people like a nuclear bomb.

The terms "Hueco Mundo" and "Lord of Hueco Mundo" were etched into everyone's minds to an extent that Yon could hardly imagine.

Even though no one knows where it started, a saying gradually began to spread across the sea:

Want treasure? Then go find it! The Pirate King has placed all his treasure on the final island.

Want power? Then show yourself off and strive to gain the approval of the Lord of Hueco Mundo and join the Hueco Mundo organization!

……

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, in the realm of power.

"boom!"

The blond Five Elders glared at the glaring newspaper and roared, "Has that bastard Morgans gone mad? How dare he report something like this!"

"Go, immediately send someone to find Morgans, and destroy all these newspapers," the Five Elders with the mustache continued.

The long-haired Five Elders waved their hands, stopping CP0 who was about to go on a mission, and sighed as they spoke.

"It's too late. These newspapers have already spread to every corner of the world. Destroying them now will only make people think that the world government is afraid of Hueco Mundo."

The five elders with swords standing nearby picked up the newspaper, glanced at it, and said.
