Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk's face lit up with a hint of joy as he offered his reminder.

"Of course, I'm not saying it has to be Bartholomew Kuma, but Bartholomew Kuma's physique would save the Pacifistas a lot of effort in developing him. But most importantly, he must be physically strong enough and harbor resentment towards the World Government."

Yaen nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean..."

That night, Yann's consciousness left Lucci's mental space and returned completely to his body, his face unconsciously revealing a deep weariness and a hint of joy.

In short, the outcome of contacting Vegapunk was much better than Biacombe had originally hoped.

Although Yann had previously learned a considerable amount of information about Vegapunk through Caesar, Vinsmoke Judge, and the "future kingdom" Baltimore, without actually making contact, no one could be sure what Vegapunk's current thoughts or stance were.

Now, Yann is quite confident, and he has even guessed some of the purpose behind Vegapunk's development of the "Pacifistas".

Chapter 655 Pacifist Prototype

[Chapter 655. Occasionally, a drink at a bar]

According to intelligence gathered by the Revolutionary Army, this was indeed a research project initiated by the World Government, and the person in charge was none other than Vegapunk. The aim was to develop real war machines to further maintain the World Government's rule and status.

Clearly, Vegapunk did not want to create such a war machine, but this project had already been delayed by Vegapunk for a considerable period of time, to the point where it was impossible to delay the progress any longer.

And it was impossible to delay indefinitely, even Vegapunk himself knew that. Vegapunk's choice was to find a strong person who was dissatisfied with the World Government as the prototype of the pacifist.

Following this line of thought, it is clear that Vegapunk, as the developer, intended to leave some important devices and capabilities on the prototype, so that the prototype's own mind might have the ability to influence, or even directly manipulate, other pacifists at certain key moments in the future.

With this thought in mind, Yann unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, pondering who could be the prototype user Vegapunk needed.

Normally, the most suitable candidate would undoubtedly be Bartholomew Kuma, whom Vegapunk originally valued.

If the bear successfully becomes a prototype, it will be enough to ensure that the pacifists will not point their guns at their comrades in the Revolutionary Army, and may even be used as a weapon to target the World Government.

As a comrade on the same path, Yann would never allow his comrades to endure such complete mechanization, which is tantamount to losing their lives.

"So……"

Yaen fell into deep thought, with one candidate after another constantly appearing in his mind.

Physically powerful, with a size similar to a bear, and harboring resentment towards the World Government...

At this moment, Yann regretted killing Edward Weevil, the "Whitebeard Jr.", in a fit of anger. Otherwise, Weevil seemed like a pretty good replacement.

Suddenly, Yann's fingers, which were lightly tapping the table, paused as he thought of another candidate.

Queen, the "Plague," one of the three great calamities of the former "Beasts Pirates," is now imprisoned in Law's research facility!

Its size was comparable to that of a bear, and its physique was terrifyingly powerful. As a former "M"

but……

"But as Vegapunk's former colleague, Vegapunk shouldn't mind, right?"

Suddenly, Yann thought of another, even more troublesome problem: "Kaido the Beasts"... how to deal with him?

Given the current relationship between Aon and Yamato, dealing with Kaido is proving to be a bit difficult.

Although Yamato seems to have no feelings for Kaido and her past goal was clearly to defeat Kaido and reclaim Wano Country, the two are ultimately related by blood.

Well, it's true that Aon was passive, but as a kind and responsible man, Aon couldn't just turn around and kill Kaido, his father-in-law, right?

However, if Kaido were released, not only would Kaido likely create numerous variables in Arn's plans, but Arn also believed that Kaido would absolutely not hesitate to unleash an angry dragon breath at him and Yamato.

A moment later, with a terrible headache, Yann dialed Law's Den Den Mushi, and Law's respectful voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Lord Yann, is there a mission?"

"Luo, immediately suspend research on Quinn and restore Quinn to his original form as soon as possible," Yann said directly.

Luo didn't ask why, but thought for a moment before speaking.

"Part of the modification and research on Quinn has been carried out, and it may take about a month to fully restore him to his original appearance."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Yann replied.

After all, if a modified Quinn were delivered to the World Government, the World Government might very well trace Quinn's entire line of inquiry.

Therefore, even though it is quite troublesome for Law to restore Quinn, it is necessary to do so.

Fortunately, Law possesses both the "Op-Op Fruit" and the "Hollow Zanpakuto: Evil Queen" abilities; otherwise, even Vegapunk would not have been able to fully restore a modified human body.

After that, once Quinn's body is repaired, Charlotte Pudding can add or delete some of Quinn's memories, and then Lucci can arrest Quinn.

At that time, Vegapunk would only need a pretext for his research to complete the handover of Queen as the experimental subject, and Yann would be able to exchange the World Government's scientific and technological data from Vegapunk.

The only regret is that using the appearance of "Plague" Quinn as the prototype will inevitably lead to some unsatisfactory appearances for future Pacifistas.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Yann had limited resources at the moment, so in the end, he could only provide Queen, who was one of the three calamities of the original "Beasts Pirates".

After a moment's hesitation, Yann asked.

"Law, how is Kaido? Is he having any mental problems?"

"and many more……"

A moment later, accompanied by a few footsteps, the image projected on the Den Den Mushi changed, and Kaido's wide-eyed eyes appeared in front of Aon, followed by Law's voice.

"Kaido, Lord Aon requests your permission to speak."

At that moment, Yann watched as a large blood vessel rapidly spread from Kaido's eye, his anger almost materializing.

……

Ya'en.

Forget it, let's just let this father-in-law stay here. Anyway, Yamato already thought Kaido was dead, and he was even so happy that he wanted to drink.

Immediately, the Den Den Mushi's screen switched back to Law, who asked, "Lord Aon, Kaido's condition remains the same."

"Um……"

Yann hesitated for a moment, then asked with some concern, "So, how does Kaido maintain the energy his body needs when he's sealed away and only has one eye left?"

“According to research, Kaido can maintain his basic bodily needs for a long time without eating. However, in order to ensure Kaido’s normal bodily functions, I will periodically inject nutrient solution into his esophagus through his eyeballs,” Law replied.

Is this even possible?

Ya'en.

Aon, who had never paid attention to such trivial details before, was truly surprised to learn for the first time that Kaido usually ate like this.

However, it seems to be possible, since the seven orifices of a person are interconnected, and some heavy smokers can even get smoke coming out of all seven orifices.

At this thought, Yann recalled that Kaido's greatest pleasure in the past was drinking.

"Law, don't just give him nutrient solution, it's a bit tasteless. Give Kaido some alcohol occasionally."

Chapter 656 Occasionally, a little bar stuff

[Chapter 656. The Dissipating Storm of War]

In the following days, under Vegapunk's cover, the research on Lucci's "Hueco Mundo power" ended in failure.

In fact, within the World Government, only Vegapunk possesses the ability to analyze the changes in Lucci's soul from his bloodline factors.

The other World Government scientists simply didn't have that level of expertise; they were completely unable to find anything unusual about Lucci's body.

Furthermore, with Vegapunk and Yone establishing a preliminary cooperative relationship, and with Vegapunk's covert assistance, Lucci's research in many areas was glossed over and not explored in depth, let alone dissecting or dissecting Lucci.

The Five Elders were naturally quite dissatisfied with this outcome, but there was nothing they could do about it.

It wasn't just Vegapunk's judgment; multiple scientists from the institute subsequently participated in the research, and all reached the same conclusion.

Subsequently, the Five Elders, unwilling to give up, not only had the research institute continue to delve deeper into this area, but also had Lucci lead the remaining CP9 members to form a new CP0 team to begin engaging in CP0 affairs.

After all, based on the intelligence currently held by the World Government, and considering the way Lucci obtained the power of the "Lord of Hueco Mundo," and the information the World Government confirmed from Lucci, it seems that the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" was simply unable to communicate normally with members of the "Hueco Mundo" organization.

In other words, the "Hueco Mundo" organization is not a unified entity at all, but rather a group of people who are described as "Devil Fruit users," and the demands and goals of each member of the "Hueco Mundo" organization are not entirely the same.

Fishman Tiger's desire is Fishman Island, Corazon's desire is his own ambition, and Perona is just a simple little girl, completely controlled by Moria...

As for Lucci, after repeated confirmation from the World Government, he harbored absolute loyalty to the World Government.

In addition, the World Government has lost a large number of CP0 members in recent years and has gradually become short-handed. The World Government cannot completely ignore Lucci's incomparably powerful combat strength.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, the World Government specifically assigned Lucci to form an independent CP0 team to carry out independent missions.

As a result, Lucci's current access to CP0 intelligence is quite limited. However, Yann is not anxious. As long as Lucci gradually gains the trust of the World Government, he will naturally come into contact with more CP0 intelligence.

Lucci's first mission was to lead his squad back to Wano Country and assist Vice Admiral "Marine Hero" Yann in eliminating the Revolutionary Army.

When he heard the news, Yann couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

"But it's just right, it's time to carry out the 'Revolutionary Army Elimination Plan'. Lucci's return to Wano Country at this time will allow him to be allocated some of the merits, and it will also allow Lucci to further gain the trust of the World Government."

As Yann muttered to himself, his gaze remained fixed on a document in front of him.

It must be said that the situation in Wano Country is gradually becoming clearer.

From the outside perspective, the Revolutionary Army's previous raids on Yann and CP0 were a last-ditch effort to confuse the situation.

However, thanks to CP0's desperate delay, Lucci's acquisition of the power of the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" at the last minute, and Yamato's assistance with the "Beast Warriors," the Revolutionary Army's seemingly flawless plan to assassinate Arn was ultimately thwarted.

Now, with the Revolutionary Army having completely broken ties with the Donquixote Family, Yamato having formally allied with the World Government as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the presence of the Navy's G-9 branch, a three-way coalition has formed in Wano Country to besiege the Revolutionary Army.

The combined strength of "Naval Hero" Yann, "Shichibukai" Corazon, and "Shichibukai" Yamato is enough to completely contain the Revolutionary Army. The remaining task is to thoroughly defeat and even annihilate the Revolutionary Army.

Soon, Yann proactively submitted a brilliant plan to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government to eliminate the Revolutionary Army. The various strategies employed in the plan amazed even Vice Admiral Tsuru, the "Chief Strategist."

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, between powers.

"A brilliant and meticulous battle plan, not one of those risky, double-edged sword raids, but a perfectly legitimate strategy. Even if the Revolutionary Army puts up a fight, they will not be able to escape Lieutenant General Yann's strategy."

The old man with the mustache said with some admiration.

The five long-haired elders also agreed, saying, "Lieutenant General Yann truly lives up to his reputation as the son of the 'wise strategist' Sengoku; he has completely inherited Sengoku's strategic abilities."

The blond Five Elders continued.

“Indeed, Vice Admiral Yann is a true role model for the Navy. In this generation... no, perhaps for the past thirty years, there has been no Navy officer more outstanding than him. He is completely unlike the three admirals, who had various personality flaws and behavioral problems, and whose interpretation of justice was superfluous.”

“In that case, let’s go through with this plan. Make sure all parties cooperate, and also send two more CP0 teams to assist, as requested by Lieutenant General Yann,” said the Long-Haired Five Elders.

"agree."

"Agreed."

……

In an instant, war broke out again in Wano Country, but this time it was a battle launched by the Navy's G-9 branch in conjunction with two Shichibukai against the Revolutionary Army.
