Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

It's from the right rear again!

Driven by his fighting instincts, Barak subconsciously used the simplest and most effective elbow strike to slam into the ground from the side.

However, at this moment, Barak's Observation Haki frantically warned him of danger, causing him to suddenly retract his elbow halfway through the attack and instead unleash a sweeping kick.

"boom!"

The whip kick produced a loud roar as it hit the air, but Yann had no intention of confronting Barak head-on. He instantly retreated dozens of meters away, maintaining a safe distance from Barak.

Only after Yann left did the terrifying sense of crisis fade from Barak's mind.

What just happened?

The sense of crisis that arose in that instant almost overwhelmed Barak's entire mind, and even now Barak can clearly feel cold sweat constantly seeping from his back.

"What kind of Devil Fruit power do you have?" Barak asked with a gloomy expression, clearly feeling a sense of escaping death.

Yann raised his right middle finger, glanced at the exquisite golden finger guard, and spoke.

"It's not really a skill; I just applied a poison called 'Hydrangea bee' to my finger cot."

After a pause, Yann, who was deliberately feigning an abnormal tone and actions, didn't forget to lick his finger cot with a slightly perverted and arrogant gesture, and said with a "hehe" laugh.

"This is a strange and incurable poison; you'd better be careful."

……

Meanwhile, in Arn's mental space, the Zanpakuto, which materialized into the form of a petite girl with long twin ponytails and a wasp waist, couldn't help but cover its buttocks with one hand and mutter a coquettish scolding under its breath.

"Perverted master!"

"Pervert, pervert, utter pervert..."

"I will never teach my perverted master Instant Step again, you big pervert..."

The swan kept muttering to itself, but dared not speak too loudly, for fear that the other Soul-Slaying Blades, which also existed in the spiritual space, would notice the problem.

……

Of course, Yaon, who was focused on fighting the enemy, did not have the energy to pay attention to the musaka's ramblings, but was thinking about the information he had just obtained from the probing battle.

Unlike the exaggerated missile-like shape and destructive power of "Bankai: Suzumebachi Raikōben", which is a one-hit kill.

In its initial form, "Suzumebachi" is shaped like a sharp fingertip resembling a bee's tail, and its ability is called "Two-Hit Kill"!

The first hit on an enemy will only produce a slight, needle-like pain and damage, and leave a black mark on the skin called "Bee Pattern Flower".

If "Hornet" hits the center of "Bee Pattern" a second time, it will kill the enemy.

Just now, when Yann first stabbed Barak with his Zanpakuto, which had transformed into "Shikai: Suzumebachi", Barak made no attempt to dodge.

But just as Yann was about to strike Barak's elbow with "Hornet" for the second time, he suddenly dodged.

Furthermore, given that Barak was able to continuously evade the control originating from "Cursed Eye Sangha," Yann had already formed a rough judgment on Barak's Observation Haki and spoke up.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Observation Haki has the ability to sense danger."

At this moment, Barak's expression became particularly solemn as he replied.

“That’s right, my Observation Haki has the ability to ‘sense danger’, and I can sense anything that could pose a threat to me…”

After a pause, Barak continued.

"Although I don't understand what your poison is all about, I can't hide the sense of threat from you. As long as I'm careful to avoid being hit in the same spot a second time, you won't be a threat to me at all."

"is it?"

As far as he could muster, Yann licked his finger cot again and said, "I'll make sure I look crazy."

"Then let's give it a try. Can you dodge the sting of the wasp while I'm moving at my speed?"

Immediately, Yann once again used the top-tier Instant Step he learned from the "Soul-Slaying Blade: Sparrow Bee," transforming into a blur as he flashed toward Barak.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

A series of continuous whooshing sounds rang out as Yann almost transformed into several afterimages, surrounding Barak and dodging Barak's attacks while "Hornet" pierced straight at Barak.

In no time at all, thanks to Yann's unparalleled speed, Barak's body was covered in a large number of "bee-like patterns".

However, under Barak's Observation Haki perception that allows him to "intuitively sense danger," Yann was unable to truly achieve a "double kill" from the same location.

Furthermore, despite several instances where Yan had cornered Barak in an inescapable predicament, Barak managed to withstand the "Swallow Bee's" attacks through Armament Haki hardening.

It felt like being unable to penetrate at the crucial moment...

"That wretched body..."

Faced with this awkward situation, Yan couldn't help but mentally berate himself.

Yann's Armament Haki was weak and his body was frail, so he couldn't break through Barak's Armament Haki-hardened defense at all.

As for Yann's other abilities, they either have too wide an impact or are not suitable for exposure, so they are simply unusable.

However, under the unique threat of "Hornet's" "two-hit kill", even if Yann's finger glove accidentally points to the "bee pattern" blooming all over Barak's body, it will make Barak feel an extremely terrifying sense of crisis.

This kept Barak on edge almost constantly, and his Observation Haki kept him firmly locked onto Yann, leaving him no time to relax and no energy to pay attention to the changes in the outside world.

[Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Collapsed Plan]

Meanwhile, the conflict within the "white town" of Flevans continues, and the resentment, anger, and despair of the people are now like a bomb that has been set on fire.

After the world government spies secretly instigated a portion of the population, they gradually attracted more citizens who still had the ability to act.

Alive...

Only by opening a passage along the border can they have a chance to survive and maintain their supply of necessities such as medicine, food, and fresh water.

This was a potentially fatal emergency for the revolutionary army, which was not fully prepared.

Almost immediately, the revolutionary army within Flevans, like World Government spies, disguised themselves as Flevans citizens and infiltrated the country, attempting to appease the people of Flevans.

However, amidst the flames of anger and resentment, a few calm drops of water would have absolutely no effect.

"boom!"

The first shot fired towards the border line has been fired.

The next moment, a dense barrage of gunfire erupted from the opposite side, and the intense firepower quickly felled hundreds of Frevans citizens.

When the rest of the Flevans tried to retaliate, the tampered firearms and the meager supply of ammunition proved utterly ineffective.

Instead, it appears so weak and ridiculous, enough to become an excuse for neighboring countries to launch an attack.

"Those demons of Frevans want to break through the borders and spread that terrible infectious disease into our country, wanting to drag us down with them and suffer the consequences!"

"Kill them, kill all these infectious disease demons."

"Assemble! Eliminate Flevans!"

……

Under the propaganda of the World Government and the neighboring royal family, almost all the soldiers of the neighboring country believed that a terrible infectious disease had broken out in Flevans.

The attack by the citizens of Frevans has now further provoked the already fragile nerves of those soldiers.

Damn it, don't even think about infecting us with infectious diseases!

Driven by fear, these soldiers in protective suits almost without hesitation raised their weapons and, under the command of their officers, crossed the border to clear out Flevans!

Within sight, regardless of age or gender, everyone was firing their empty magazines.

The tragedy began to spread along the border.

The screams, already agonizing from the torment of "lead poisoning," were hoarse with despair and anger, before turning into utter helplessness.

"Quickly, guide the people toward the western border of the Kingdom of Fossebna."

Realizing that preventing the tragedy was already impossible, the revolutionary army members immediately implemented the emergency plan B set up by Yann, and began to guide the people toward the established evacuation routes as much as possible.

Meanwhile, a canary kept returning to fly over the Flevans sky, which was gradually turning blood red.

Hidden within the castle, Robin desperately uses his "Cursed Eye Sangha" ability to guide the people to evacuation along a refuge route.

Robin felt utterly hopeless!

Only now has Robin discovered that "Cursed Eye Sangha" has a fatal weakness.

Perhaps Robin can greatly amplify the number of "Cursed Eye Sangha" through her "Hana Hana no Mi" ability.

However, all the soldiers who attacked Frevans were wearing sealed protective suits.

The only way for a "cursed-eye monk" to completely control a person is to lock their gaze onto the enemy's forehead and then form a special mark on it.

Now, under the protection of the protective suits, Robin is shocked to find that he has absolutely no control over the soldiers in those suits.

This rendered all of Arn's previous plans, based on Robin's abilities, futile, leading to unpredictable collapse.

“Brother Yann…”

Completely lost and panicked, Robin felt that she had let Arn down and was even a complete burden to Arn and his companions.

"What to do? What to do?"

As Robin trembled and considered various solutions, he gritted his teeth and continued to assist the citizens of Frevans in their evacuation.

But... there's no solution!

Even if a large number of citizens were to relocate to the border of Forsebna, without Robin's ability to control the soldiers of the neighboring country, it would be impossible for the citizens to safely transfer to the designated refuge locations in Forsebna.

More importantly, without Robin's ability to conceal the whereabouts of the Flevans citizens, it would be completely pointless.

"Damn it!"

Robin's eyes filled with tears, and he felt that he might really be the source of the calamity, or perhaps even the child of a demon.

O'Hara is like this, and so is Frevans, and this time it will even drag his brother Yann into it.

What Robin didn't know was that even though Yann was doing his best to hold off Barak, his Observation Haki covered the entire Kingdom of Flevans the whole time, and he was fully aware of the changes in the situation in Flevans.

"There's been a problem with Robin..."

Yaen noticed Little Gold flying around aimlessly and quickly guessed the problem.

Otherwise, given Robin's rational thinking, she wouldn't have done something so foolish as to be busy rescuing people everywhere without preparing beforehand at the border of Fosebuna.

Could it be that the "Cursed Eye Sangha" couldn't control so many? That shouldn't be the case...

With a swift movement, Yann dodged Barak's finger gun, which was powerful enough to pierce his body, like a butterfly dancing on the brink of death.
