Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Hmph, Morgans is going to great lengths to attract the attention of the Lord of Hueco Mundo in an attempt to gain power."

"However, I think this might not be a bad thing..."

The five curly-haired elders pondered for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"That official's attitude is very clear: wait and see, and do not act rashly before confirming the information. So if Morgans' actions are successful, they may well be a valuable piece of information."

“Yes, that’s right. Besides, that little sun is probably visible throughout the entire New World Ocean. Coupled with the heatwave sweeping across every corner, it’s practically impossible to hide it,” said the long-haired Five Elders.

"Since that's the case..."

The five elders with the mustache then turned to the CP0 members who were waiting at a distance and ordered, "Closely monitor all of Morgans's actions and changes."

……

Wano Country, Oni Island.

"Rumble..."

The sky was dark and filled with lightning and thunder. Almost no one on Onigashima dared to breathe, for fear of provoking Kaido's wrath.

"That bastard..."

Kaido held a newspaper in one hand, looking at the picture of himself fleeing in panic, and his anger rose uncontrollably.

"One day, I will definitely kill those bastards from Hueco Mundo."

The next moment, Kaido slammed the newspaper down, picked up the gourd next to him and took a big gulp, then poured the rest of the wine over his head and onto his bare left shoulder!

[Chapter 255. Let's divide it into six parts...]

World of Nations, Cake Island.

As Charlotte Perospero handed the sensational newspaper to "BIG MOM" Charlotte Linlin, Charlotte, who was happily eating, paused, her expression gradually turning terrifying.

"Kaido, defeated? And even lost an arm?"

“Yes, Mom,” Perospero replied.

"is it?"

Charlotte Linlin then continued to flip through the newspaper and read it carefully.

After a long pause, Charlotte Linlin seemed to understand something and said, "So the reason my cake melted so quickly yesterday was because of that inexplicable god?"

"I wonder if there's an interesting race here..."

Charlotte Linlin's mouth split open like a gaping maw as she spoke. "Go, tell that idiot Kaido that if we ever go to war with Hueco Mundo again, call me along, but all the special races we capture will belong to me."

……

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

"Father, do you think you're confident you can stop that so-called...god?" Marco asked Whitebeard with some concern.

“Kula la la…”

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard burst into hearty laughter and said...

"This is really interesting. I should have gone to the Kingdom of Dressrosa to join in the fun earlier. Since Roger, there hasn't been anyone who can get my blood pumping like this."

As Whitebeard finished speaking, his fist clenched involuntarily, and a white ball of light manifested from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit appeared, with a power that seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth brewing within it.

"1500 million degrees Celsius? It would be such a shame not to try it!"

Marco, seeing Whitebeard's boiling fighting spirit for the first time in nearly ten years, couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

"Dad, we can't be too careless. It's said that even Kaido of the Beasts fled in panic because of this, and even lost an arm."

"Kurarara, Kaido is just a brat who relies on his physique but hasn't even fully mastered Conqueror's Haki yet. He's not worth mentioning at all."

Whitebeard made no attempt to hide his contempt for Kaido, the Beast, and then said...

"Marco, contact Corazon, that Hueco Mundo member, and tell him I want to fight that guy."

Marco scratched his head and could only agree, saying, "Alright then."

……

Besides the pirates who truly reign supreme over the seas, the influence of the Hueco Mundo organization continues to spread across the ocean.

However, for Hueco Mundo, the founder of Hueco Mundo, Yann was currently lying lazily on a naval warship, looking at today's newspaper, which seemed to have been paid for with bribes, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

"Is it... really that exaggerated?"

At this point, Yann finally understood why the World Government had so eagerly dispatched representatives to the Kingdom of Dressrosa the very next day, bringing not only a large amount of supplies but also displaying a servile attitude towards Corazon.

Thinking about this, Yann couldn't help but feel a little itchy, eager to know just how much benefit Corazon had gained from the World Government this time.

Immediately, Yann locked the door from the inside, then lay back on the bed, his consciousness quickly entering Corazon's mental space.

Before Yorn could even ask, Corazon was already excitedly gesturing and talking on his own initiative.

In short, it's a hit!

The resources and wealth that the World Government has provided this time are extremely extravagant, even in the eyes of former Celestial Dragon Corazon.

“Yarn, now not only is the development of the Kingdom of Dressrosa no longer a problem, but the Revolutionary Army's operating funds for the next few years will also be completely secured.”

"Funding? What revolutionary army funding?"

While delighted, Yann asked in bewilderment, "The Revolutionary Army has its own system. Rashly injecting large amounts of funds will only disrupt its smooth operation, which is wrong."

Corazon paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and agreed, "Oh, right, right, this is our brothers' money."

Then, Corazon paused, and asked, "But what about those Hueco Mundo members who supported us? Shouldn't we share some with them?"

"Uh~"

Yone pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Let's divide it according to the number of Hueco Mundo members who provided assistance. Including you and me, it will be divided into five portions, one portion for each of us."

Corazon considered for a moment and said, "No."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Yan felt a little guilty.

Could it be... that Corazon figured it out?

It seems I've gone a bit too far; maybe I should just split the profits 50/50 with Corazon.

Immediately, Corazon said with gratitude, "At least give two shares to that last powerful person who manipulated the 1500 million degree Celsius flame."

Yann fell silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, before continuing.

"Well... alright then, that means it'll be divided into six portions. I'll have Xiao Jin collect five portions later, and then I'll try to contact those Hueco Mundo members and convey your feelings to them."

Corazon asked, somewhat surprised. "Huh? Isn't Perona with me? I can just give it to him directly."

“The war is over, and I need to send Perona and Moria back to the Devil’s Triangle,” Yone explained calmly.

“That’s true,” Cora said knowingly.

Immediately, feeling guilty and unwilling to delve deeper into the issue, Yann changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Corazon, has the World Government agreed to the Devil Fruit matter?"

"That's not a problem, and I will try my best to collect it from the underground channels."

After a pause, Corazon asked, somewhat puzzled, "But, Yann, what do you need so many Devil Fruits for?"

Yann sighed and said, "For the Revolutionary Army, even a lot of Devil Fruits wouldn't be enough to distribute."

"That's true..."

Afterwards, Yann and Corazon reconfirmed some details, and Yann brushed off Corazon's question about the power released by the "Broken Blade" before leaving Corazon's mental space.

Back in his mental space, Yann sat on the throne for a long time, carefully recalling all the details of the Dressrosa incident.

"call……"

Yann took a deep breath and, after confirming several times that no fatal problems or flaws had been exposed, relaxed slightly.

"However, this has completely elevated Hueco Mundo to a terrifying level. They must carefully consider their future development path, otherwise, once their lies are exposed, they may face utter destruction..."

[Chapter 256 The Possibility of Overtaking on a Curve]

From the very beginning, Yone approached the Hueco Mundo organization with a joking attitude.

Therefore, the bestowal of the "Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade" was extremely casual. Members like Baby-5, Robin, and Law, who were unlikely to exert their combat power in the short term, were not cared about by Aon.

However, with the occurrence of the "Frevans Incident" and the "Mary Geoise Incident," Yann's perception and expectations of Hueco Mundo gradually underwent a significant change.

Contrary to his own stance as a member of the Navy, or his secret alliance with Dragon to establish the Revolutionary Army, Yann realized that he needed his own private bodyguard force.

While it's true that will and thought can create miracles for this vast ocean, the foundation of everything ultimately lies in strength.

Therefore, if possible, the stronger Hueco Mundo's influence over this ocean, the better.

At that time, Yann will be able to influence more things through the different channels of Hueco Mundo, the Navy, and the Revolutionary Army, and will also be able to better protect his own life.

Furthermore, Yann possesses absolute control over the Hueco Mundo members to whom he has been granted the "Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade".

During this period of research, Arn gradually figured out that the granting of the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade" was actually the fusion of the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade," which was a part of Arn's power, with the soul of the recipient.

Therefore, in addition to being able to freely enter the mental spaces of Hueco Mundo members, Yann also possesses the ability to forcibly strip away "Hollow Zanpakuto".

According to Arn's estimation, once the recipient is forcibly stripped of the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade," the soul will inevitably be torn apart. At best, the recipient will become an idiot; at worst, they may become a vegetable or die on the spot.

Therefore, in Yann's view, the possibility of Hueco Mundo members betraying him is extremely low.

Furthermore, to further ensure security and secrecy, Yann never revealed his true identity to either Law, Corazon, or Perona. Even when recruiting new members to Hueco Mundo, Yann would do his best to keep his true identity a secret.

but……

After a quick calculation, Yann discovered that he would need a whopping sixty-four Devil Fruits to awaken his next "Hollow Soul Slayer Blade".

Even with the Revolutionary Army and Corazon's channels continuously collecting them, it's likely that Yann won't be able to awaken the next "Hollow Soul Slayer Blade" in the short term.

As for the "Hollow Soul Slayer Sword," which requires more than three digits of Devil Fruits to awaken, it felt even more distant to Arn.

It's important to know that even dominant pirate crews like the "Beasts Pirates" and the "Big Mom Pirates" have only managed to accumulate a few hundred Devil Fruit users over decades.

"Uh……"

Yaen gently tapped the armrest of the throne, his gaze falling on the void monsters that drifted unconsciously beneath the starry sky.

Cursed-Eyed Sangha, Devourer of Emptiness, Holy Crying Mantis, Evil Consort, Black-Winged Demon, and a Pack of Wolves.

"The Holy Crying Mantis, the Blackwing Demon, and the Wolf Pack all possess considerable combat power, even comparable to the 'Three Calamities.' We should find a way to have them each occupy a position in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, secretly gather resources, and further expand their influence."

Regarding the arrangement for "Wolves" Perona, Yone almost implicitly assumed that she was being considered in conjunction with Moria.
