Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Tiger, completely oblivious to this, said, "It's alright, any brother who's tired from traveling and wants to return to Fishman Island is welcome."

Immediately, Tiger plunged into the seawater in front of him and quickly disappeared into the surface.

After Tiger had traveled a considerable distance from the Sun Pirates, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

"Hey, where are you?"

A somewhat languid voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Snap, right above your head..."

The next moment, Tiger suddenly felt a shadow looming over him, and the awe-inspiring, golden ark, as if it were made of gold, appeared above him.

Tiger then manipulated the ocean currents to propel himself up from the seawater and landed steadily on the deck of the Ark of Truth, his gaze falling on Enel, who was sitting on the golden throne, biting an apple.

Enel placed one hand on the controller beside the throne, controlling the Ark Maxim to stretch the expert again, concealing him behind the clouds. He slightly raised his dead fish eyes towards Tiger and asked.

"Have you found the big fish?"

Tiger said helplessly, "Found it. It's really big and powerful."

Enel gave Tiger a subtle glare and said.

"Otherwise, I would have already taken it down in one fell swoop. Why would I need you to come here? Hurry up and think of a way to get it out of the sea, or that lord will be dissatisfied."

Upon hearing this, Tiger frowned and said...

“It’s difficult. I’ve tried, and even a strike with almost all my might couldn’t provoke it enough to anger it.”

Hearing this, Enel, who had been completely calm, paused and asked, "So, you can't do anything about it either?"

“There is a way,” Tiger said.

"Speak," Enel asked hastily.

“Didn’t you see Ben Polly surface before? So Ben Polly does have the habit of surfacing occasionally. Therefore, if we observe Ben Polly’s habits for a long time, we might be able to roughly deduce the pattern,” Tiger replied.

"So you mean... to make me wait?" Enel asked.

Tiger sighed and said.

"That's the only way. Otherwise, unless we drain the ocean, we can probably only send 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, who has the 'strongest slash in the ocean,' to the seabed and give Ben Poli a full-force slash at close range. Who knows, that might provoke Ben Poli's anger and make him chase Mihawk to the surface."

However, Enel still asked somewhat unwillingly, "How about... you try sending me into the sea? I'll give Ben Poli a powerful 500 million volt attack from the sea."

In response, Tiger couldn't help but give Enel a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

It's always been the case that people with superpowers stay away from the sea. This is the first time I've seen a fool like this who dares to venture into the ocean and provoke Ben Poli.

'Indeed, not every human being is exceptionally intelligent…' Tiger sighed to himself.

……

When Y'en of the G-9 branch received the feedback from Tiger, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

But this was clearly the only option at the moment, and the only choice was to let Tiger lead his "Sun Pirates" to slowly follow up on Ben Poring's situation and wait for it to surface again.

However, what troubled Yann even more was Tiger's report, which once again confirmed the exaggerated extent of Ben Poli's defensive capabilities.

Given Tiger's current strength, his combat power in the sea should already be at the very top of the entire ocean.

Even if Tiger's fighting style isn't suited for dealing with colossal creatures, he couldn't even manage to provoke Ben Poli's anger.

This made Yann somewhat worried that even if Ben Poli was lured to the surface and the sea was frozen to cut off Ben Poli's escape route, dealing with this behemoth would still take a lot of effort.

'but……'

Arn looked down at a piece of pure gold intelligence that Robin had obtained by searching through a large number of ancient books and materials, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Pure gold!

Its effect is such that it can almost stop the growth of the body of someone who is constantly exposed to pure gold, thus achieving immortality.

More importantly, according to the information Robin has researched, pure gold is not a modern product, but a substance that seems to have existed eight hundred years ago.

However, compared to the situation of the pure gold lanternfish, Arn is now focusing more on Lucci.

One thing that Arn didn't tell Lucci was that even if he lost his memory, Arn could still allow a part of his consciousness to enter Lucci's mental space, thus sharing Lucci's various perceptions.

Therefore, even though Lucci has now accepted Charlotte Pudding's "Memory Fruit" ability to modify his own memories and completely forgotten the many promises he made with Yann, Yann can still use this moment to return to the World Government and obtain a large amount of CP0 intelligence from Lucci, who has now been promoted to CP0.

And Chief Frode, whom he had met seven years ago, reappeared in Arn's sight.

To Arn’s astonishment, the mysterious Chief Freud aged so quickly!

Seven years ago, when Yann met Chief Freud, she was a young girl, but now she has aged noticeably, looking as if she has aged more than ten years.

Under Lucci's gaze, Yann thought to himself.

"What's going on with her abnormally fast aging? Is it related to her abilities? Or is there really something wrong with her body?"

Chapter 647 An Extraordinary Rate of Aging

[Chapter 647. The Secret of the Five Elders?]

At this moment, Frode, who was already showing signs of aging, walked up to Lucci with an arrogance that seemed to be beyond the reach of ordinary people, and asked in an unusually calm tone.

"You're Lucci?!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Lucci replied, having already informed the person he was meeting in advance.

Then, Frodo circled Lucci twice and asked, "Do you know where that woman in Hueco Mundo who looks like a demon is?"

"Is the 'Blackwing Demon' that the Grand Marshal is referring to?" Lucci asked to confirm.

Upon hearing this, Freud's eyes seemed to surge with a storm, his tone suddenly rose, and he stared at Lucci, asking.

"That's right! Where is that woman?"

Under the imposing pressure emanating from Frode, Lucci lowered his head slightly and answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry, Chief, I only know that the 'Blackwing Demon' exists, but I don't know her exact location or true identity."

With a hint of disappointment, Frode changed the subject and asked, "So how much do you actually know about the 'Hueco Mundo' organization? Didn't you already obtain the power of the 'Lord of Hueco Mundo'?"

When faced with Frodo's question, Lucci organized his thoughts based on his memories and answered.

"I don't know if the 'Lord of Hueco Mundo' really exists. When I obtained that power, all I heard in my mind was a seemingly ethereal voice."

Freud glanced at Caius, who stood inconspicuously in the corner of the room, and then asked, "What exactly did you say?"

Lu Qi's expression straightened slightly, and he repeated it in a somewhat strange tone.

(Cantonese)

"Eat shit, Liang Feifan."

???

Freud.

Freud was initially bewildered, unable to understand at all; it seemed as if this was not the normal human language of the ocean.

However, even though Freud couldn't understand the meaning at all, he inexplicably sensed that the sentence seemed to be conveying some useful information.

Freud frowned slightly, muttered something unconsciously, and asked, "Those three strange syllables at the end...are they a name?"

"I don't know..."

Lucci shook his head and then said.

"Aside from this sentence which seemed to have a special meaning, some information related to the 'Hueco Mundo' organization and the newly acquired abilities naturally became clear."

"What specific information?" Frode asked.

Lucci then recounted in detail all the intelligence he knew, but most of the information was already obtained by the World Government from Moria, Tiger, and Corazon, until…

"Furthermore, it seems that I am currently ranked sixth in the 'Hueco Mundo' organization."

Immediately, Freud's spirits lifted, and he pressed for an answer. "What's the ranking based on? Combat strength?"

Lu Qi nodded in reply. "It should be combat strength, but it's unclear whether this ranking has any other meaning or function."

Frode glanced at Caius, and after confirming through Caius that Lucci was not lying, he fell into deep thought.

Sixth pick?!

Lucci is the one who has just obtained the power of "Lord of Hueco Mundo" and should be the weakest. So, there are a total of six members of the "Hueco Mundo" organization, including Lucci, in the entire ocean?

Besides Lucci, Moria (who clearly possesses information), Tiger, and Corazon, there is also the woman called "Blackwing Demon" and the mysterious guy who once appeared in the North Blue and manipulated the ability to grow to gigantic size.

Six people... seems just right.

Frode's gaze sharpened, then he beckoned to Lucci and headed towards the training grounds in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Immediately after arriving at the training ground, Frode spoke to Lucci, "Go all out and let me see what this so-called sixth pick is all about."

"Yes, Commander..."

Immediately following orders, Lucci unleashed all of his Devil Fruit powers and "Hollow Zanpakuto: Leopard King," rapidly changing his appearance and appearing in front of Frodo almost instantly.

"boom!!!"

While Freud was testing Lucci's strength, Arn was also confirming Freud's information through Lucci.

It's exactly the same!

Not only is he a Devil Fruit user, but Frodo's fighting techniques and even fighting habits are exactly the same as those of the former Frodo.

At this point, after repeated confirmation, Yann was completely certain that Freud and Freud were the same person.

But why is there such a huge difference in their appearances before and after, and even their gender and age have changed?

After Yann has ruled out all the Devil Fruit abilities he knows, the only plausible explanation seems to be that Frodo was in a different body after being hit head-on by Hancock's strongest "Thunder Spear".

It's absurd, but it doesn't seem like something entirely impossible.

Law's "Operation Fruit" and Charlotte Linlin's "Soul-Soul Fruit" both allow for the manipulation and transfer of souls.

If even Vinsmoke Judge has mastered mature cloning technology to mass-produce soldiers, then it's not surprising that the World Government has even more advanced human creation technology.

What concerns Yann is that if Frod and Freud are the same person, then this would be another case, besides Brook, the yet-to-be-found user of the "Revive-Revive Fruit," proving that Devil Fruit abilities are combined with the soul.

Based on this reasoning, some of the ideas previously inferred from the information leaked by "Red-Haired" Shanks seem even more reliable.

Besides this, what worries Yann even more is that this "alternative" method of immortality may not be used by Freud alone.
