Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Originally, Yann thought that after he granted the power of the eye-shaped monster called "Cursed Eye Sangha" to Robin, the eye-shaped monster would disappear from his mental space, but he did not expect that it would still remain here.

As for the other monster that resembles a demon, it is the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade called "Blackwing Demon," which is the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade that Yann created after absorbing two Devil Fruits in Capone's Mafia.

According to Yann's estimate, to conceive a new Hollow Monster, it would require absorbing at least four Devil Fruits.

Then what about eight? Sixteen? Thirty-two? Sixty-four?

After a quick calculation, Yann immediately realized that this would be a bottomless pit.

It's worth noting that even the cheapest Devil Fruit on the black market costs at least 100 million Berries, and some special Devil Fruits are worth as much as billions of Berries.

"Forget it, let it be. I can't use the Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade myself. After giving this power to Robin, I can't see any changes or effects for the time being. Let it be for now."

After a simple calculation, Yaen completely gave up on exploring the limits of the Void Soul-Slaying Blade.

Nowadays, the Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto seems like an annual giveaway, a free lottery where you just have to rely on your luck to win a powerful Zanpakuto.

The Hollow Soul-Slaying Blade, on the other hand, is clearly like a pay-to-win system. As long as Aon has enough money and enough Devil Fruits, he can instantly obtain a large number of Hollow Soul-Slaying Blades to grant to his subordinates to enhance their abilities.

However, the ever-increasing demand for Devil Fruits would probably make even the Celestial Dragons, who constantly plunder the wealth of the entire ocean, shake their heads in disbelief.

As a penniless second-generation military officer, it's impossible for Yann to possess such a massive amount of wealth or a Devil Fruit.

Just as Arn confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong with his mental space and was preparing to begin his training with Senbonzakura for the day.

Suddenly, Yann froze, his gaze slowly shifting to the "Cursed Eye Sangha" eyeball monster.

wrong!

In the past, the "Cursed Eye Sangha" drifted back and forth more unconsciously, but this time, Yann discovered that the "Cursed Eye Sangha" seemed to be watching him all the time.

In an instant, Yann remained outwardly calm, but in reality, he was thinking rapidly, guessing at various possibilities.

Finally, Yann spoke calmly.

"Little Robin, now that you're here, why don't you say anything?"

Immediately, out of the corner of his eye, Yann noticed that the "Cursed Eye Sangha" eyeball monster had paused noticeably.

Guess it right!

"This little girl..."

Surprised by the appearance of Little Robin, Arn reached out and grabbed at the "Cursed Eye Sangha" in mid-air. Instantly, the "Cursed Eye Sangha" seemed to be completely controlled and quickly approached Arn.

Robin, who had just sensed an unseen attraction and followed that feeling of closeness to unexpectedly arrive in this strange spiritual space, and was cautiously observing everything strange around her, instantly felt an irresistible urge to resist.

As the two drew closer, Robin recognized and confirmed that the man before her, Yann, was the same kind man who had rescued her from the raging inferno of Ohara not long ago.

At that moment, Robin, who had been wandering alone on the high seas, constantly evading the pursuit of the World Government and the Navy, seemed to see her family again and shouted excitedly.

"Good...good brother..."

……

Ya'en.

Another "friend zone" card!

This time, I was once again given the "friend zone" card by a big-eyed person.

However, after careful recollection, it seemed that he had indeed never told little Robin his name. "Yarn, Tefimo Arn, that's my name."

"Brother Ya'en?!"

Little Robin's voice came from the "Cursed Eye Sangha" eyeball monster, and the "Cursed Eye Sangha" eyeball monster also clearly showed a joyful emotion.

A strange feeling arose in Arn's heart!

In particular, Yann simply couldn't reconcile the image of Robin as a beautiful, mature woman with the large eyeball before him.

Immediately, Yann noticed Senbonzakura, who had manifested as a purple-armored warrior beside him, and tentatively spoke up. "Little Robin, try to manifest your true form."

Immediately afterward, the "Cursed-Eyed Sangha" eyeball monster remained silent for a moment, then its bizarre shape began to writhe and contract rapidly.

Soon, a little Robin, almost exactly like the one in Arn's memory, appeared before him.

'Much better looking!'

At this moment, Yann had to confirm that he was actually a sucker for good looks. He no longer treated Robin as roughly as before, but carefully placed the six-year-old girl-like Robin on the white jade road.

"Little Robin, how did you get here?" Yann asked.

"I'm not entirely sure about it either. After Brother Yan gave me that special power, I could vaguely sense a familiar and comforting aura. But I was afraid it might be some kind of trap, so I never dared to relax my guard..."

After a pause, Little Robin continued.

"I just met a kind uncle who sells fish and took me in. He also helped me with food and lodging. Then I fell into a deep sleep and ended up here."

Yaen suddenly interrupted, "Wait."

"Hmm? Brother Yann," Little Robin asked.

"You just said that a kind uncle took you in?" Yann asked.

“Yes, Saul is right, this sea is indeed very gentle,” said Robin, who was just over six years old, happily.

“Run, little Robin,” Yann said.

"Huh?" Little Robin said, puzzled.

Yann sighed and said.

"Little Robin, beneath this seemingly calm and gentle sea lie treacherous undercurrents far more terrifying than you can imagine, so get away from that house immediately."

[Chapter 47 The Power of the Cursed-Eye Monk]

In the western sea, on the island of Cassia, a remote town, a light drizzle was falling from a gloomy sky, just like Robin's mood at that moment.

Little Robin carefully opened a crack in the window and clearly saw the fishmonger whispering to a navy soldier at the doorway.

The fishmonger was no longer the gentle and kind man he once was; instead, he was filled with excitement and fervor.

"Hey, Navy, that little girl's bounty is 79 million Berries, right? Right? When are you going to give it to me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Whether we can get those 79 million Berries depends on whether we can catch that 'Devil Child' Nico Robin."

"Don't worry, I added something to the little girl's tea, I guarantee she's still sleeping soundly."

"I hope so..."

Immediately, the fishmonger carefully opened the door, gently waved to the group of naval soldiers outside, and then pointed to a room in the corner of the second floor that was locked from the inside.

"The little girl is inside."

Immediately, the naval lieutenant in charge did not hesitate any longer, leaped to the second floor, and kicked open the door.

"boom!"

However, all that remained in the room was a messy bed; Little Robin was nowhere to be seen.

"How could this be? Where did my 79 million Berries go?"

The fishmonger, who had been excitedly looking into the doorway, suddenly felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

The naval lieutenant, who had stepped into the room alone, stiffened slightly before pointing to the window that had been slightly ajar.

“Nicole Robin must have escaped from there. You guys go after her.”

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the naval soldiers scattered in all directions, attempting to search for Nico Robin's whereabouts.

Immediately, the naval division lieutenant slowly turned around and stood motionless in front of the fishmonger.

"Huh? Navy, what do you want to do?"

The fishmonger suddenly sensed that something was amiss, and his sorrowful and regretful gaze shifted to the lieutenant of the branch office.

Suddenly, the fishmonger noticed that the lieutenant in the branch office had a strange sun-shaped pattern on his forehead.

The next moment, the lieutenant of the division acted swiftly, capturing and locking the fishmonger before he could react, and even dislocated his jaw to prevent him from making any unnecessary noise.

"boom!"

Just then, little Robin slowly crawled out from under the bed in the room, not forgetting to pat the dust off his clothes.

"Uuuuuuu..."

The panicked fishmonger cried out repeatedly, seemingly trying to warn the naval division lieutenant.

However, the lieutenant in the division was unmoved by the fishmonger's reminder and continued to press him firmly to the ground.

Even though Robin walked step by step in front of him, and even stood next to the lieutenant of the naval division, the lieutenant still did not react.

At that moment, the fishmonger was completely overwhelmed by fear. He wanted to beg Robin for mercy, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"I was too naive. Betrayal and chaos are the true main themes of this ocean."

Little Robin spoke in a childish, flat voice, but his eyes, as he looked at the fishmonger, betrayed his anger and sadness.

Immediately afterward, with a thought from Robin, the Navy lieutenant delivered a heavy chop to the back of the fishmonger's neck, causing the fishmonger to lose consciousness instantly.

Immediately, Little Robin closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and once again drew closer to that mysterious connection.

"Little Robin, how are things on your end?" Yann's voice echoed in Little Robin's mind.

“Brother Yann, I used the ‘Cursed Eye Sangha’ ability to control a Navy lieutenant and distract the rest of the Navy. He’s still in the room,” Little Robin replied.

After thinking for a moment, Yann spoke.

"Little Robin, you need to leave that island as soon as possible. If the soldiers at the local naval base can't find you, they will definitely seal off the island completely, and the World Government's intelligence agencies will conduct a second investigation."

"I understand, Brother Yann," Little Robin nodded in response.

"Also, I'll give you a Den Den Mushi number. Once you've escaped this island, contact this Den Den Mushi number as soon as possible and identify yourself. The people on the other end of the Den Den Mushi will do their best to help you," Yann said.

Little Robin thought for a moment and asked, "Is that someone on the other end of the Den Den Mushi someone's subordinate, Arn?"

Yaen shook his head and said, "No, those are like-minded comrades, and trustworthy people."

"I...I understand."

Little Robin hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Then... if I want to go find Brother Yann, how do I do it?"

“I’ll probably be staying in Beihai for the next few years. If you have the chance, you can come and see me. I can give you a thorough medical check-up then,” Yann replied.

"Uh-huh."
