Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Hueco Mundo, where are you?"

As Trebol finished speaking, a violent rumble suddenly rang out, and the entire deserted island shook violently.

[Chapter 88: The Blade That Touches the Sky]

"Boom!!!"

The loud noise even gave Trepol the feeling of an earthquake.

"what happened?"

Subconsciously, Trebol half-lay on the ground, trying to find the source of the change.

However, the moment Trebol lowered his head, he suddenly noticed that the ground beneath his feet was rapidly collapsing, and several fingers as thick as giant trees were emerging from the ground.

The next instant, before Trebol could react, the five fingers snapped together, grabbing Trebol as if he were a slug and lifting him into the air.

"Boom!"

The louder noises continued, and a huge black-armored warrior emerged from the ground. Its helmet, resembling bull horns, and its blood-red mask made it look like a demon that had crawled out of the earth.

"How...how could such a thing exist?"

Looking at the enormous black-armored warrior that filled his entire field of vision, an instinctive sense of fear welled up in Trebol's heart.

Within the Donquixote Family, the highest-ranking executive, "Spade" Pica, is a user of the "Rock-Rock Fruit." He can manipulate and transform large amounts of rocks to form a colossal rock giant, which can easily destroy a small island.

However, Trebol could understand that the enormous black-armored warrior before him, which seemed to possess life and exuded an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression, was a completely different concept from the rock giant controlled by "Spade" Pica.

Perhaps, if the two were to clash, the black-armored warrior before them could instantly destroy the rock giant, whose essence was no different from ordinary rock, in a mere instant.

"Gurgle..."

The sound of swallowing saliva didn't just come from Trebol's throat; Doflamingo's Adam's apple also involuntarily moved in the clouds above the deserted island.

Even with only half of its body emerging from the ground, its enormous size was incredibly awe-inspiring.

If his entire body were fully exposed, even the legendary "Oz the Great," who could move islands, would be no more impressive than this.

"Where did this enormous monster come from?"

"Such an existence, no matter how vast the ocean is, should not be completely unknown, not even a single rumor or piece of information about it!"

"Is this... the terrifying nature of Hueco Mundo?"

Doflamingo broke out in a cold sweat, muttering to himself that he was incredibly grateful he had accepted Hueco Mundo's demands; otherwise... the destruction of the Donquixote Family might not have been impossible.

On a desolate and ruined island, the huge black-armored warrior raised Trebol slightly, and a buzzing sound rang out.

"Are you the human who offended the great Lord of Hueco Mundo?"

"No...no, it's actually...it's just a misunderstanding. Please allow me to meet the Lord of Hueco Mundo, I'm willing..." Trebol stammered as he explained.

Immediately, Trebol was about to speak his carefully prepared words, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by the black-armored warrior.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not is irrelevant. The Lord of Hueco Mundo's wrath needs blood to be quelled, not your explanation..."

The next moment, the black-armored warrior gripped Trebol's five fingers tightly and spoke.

"All the Lord of Hueco Mundo needs is your life."

"Clap!"

A sound like popping syrup rang out.

But Ya'en, who was secretly manipulating the "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" who appeared as a black-armored warrior, frowned.

This sound... is clearly wrong!

Immediately, the black-armored warrior opened his palm and found only a pool of white, sticky liquid in his hand; Trebol had vanished without a trace.

Observation Haki!

The next instant, the black-armored warrior turned his head and locked his gaze once again on Trebol, who was fleeing in a disheveled state toward the ship.

However, Trebol was no longer the bloated man he once was; instead, he was thin, short, and ugly.

"Hmm, I remember now..."

Hidden underground, Yann began to recall the past.

Among the four top executives of the Donquixote Family, "Plum Blossom" Trebol is a user of the "Sticky Fruit," which allows him to manipulate large amounts of white slime. He also maintains a large amount of slime covering his body as a form of protection.

However, Yann did not expect that Trebol could use this slime as a lubricant, allowing him to slip out from between the fingers of "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King".

"That's disgusting!"

Yaen hummed a phrase through the "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" and once again extended his palm towards Trebol.

These words seemed to enrage Trebol, causing him to turn around and shout at "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" while he was fleeing in a disheveled state.

"Damn it, don't get too cocky. I'll show you the power of the Sticky Sticky Fruit."

Immediately, Trebol raised the staff bearing the plum blossom symbol in his hand and pointed it toward the palm of "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King".

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a large amount of flames burst forth from the top of the plum blossom staff.

However, as the flames came into contact with the hands of the "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King," which were covered in a large amount of white slime, a violent explosion suddenly occurred.

"Boom!"

Orange-red flames occupied half of the sky.

Trebol couldn't help but grin broadly, saying smugly, "Hahaha, you bastard, you got carried away! Take this hit from me, even steel would melt!"

However, as Trebol finished speaking, a dark shadow emerged from the orange-red flames.

The next moment, a huge black hand broke through the scorching flames and instantly grabbed Trebol.

"This little flame is only good enough to warm your hands in winter," the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King hummed.

Trebol, now clearly sensing the looming shadow of death, completely disregarded the disdainful assessment of "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" and hurriedly shouted out his last hope.

"Dover, Dover, please help me, save me, save me..."

"Clap!"

This time, Trebol was unable to escape again; an unimaginable force instantly crushed him completely.

As the "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" casually flicked his hand, he hummed along.

"Doflamingo? That little pirate named Doflamingo?"

The next moment, to Doflamingo's horrified gaze, the huge black-armored warrior suddenly raised his head, his eyes, hidden beneath a blood-red mask, fixed on him.

"He...found me so quickly?"

Doflamingo muttered in shock, but he wasn't panicked.

After all, Doflamingo was hiding in the clouds, a considerable distance from the ground, which was enough to ensure his safety.

However, at this very moment...

The "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King," whose body was only partially visible on the ground, suddenly drew a giant sword and cleaved it straight towards the sky, striking the heavens...

They're heading straight for Doflamingo!

[Chapter 89: A Special Way to Open the Gift]

At this moment, Yann, hidden in the shadows, was actually quite nervous.

Doflamingo's constant surveillance was undoubtedly a threat to Yann.

In particular, Trebol's shouting of Doflamingo's name before his death was tantamount to piercing the thin veil between the two sides.

As part of the mysterious and domineering Hueco Mundo organization, Yone, who was in disguise, couldn't simply ignore Trebol's last words.

If Yann shows weakness or pretends to be confused, it will arouse suspicion from someone like Doflamingo.

So... he went all out in an attempt to scare Doflamingo away.

At the same time, Doflamingo's pupils contracted as he watched the giant sword descend upon him like a cleaving of the heavens and earth.

The massive shockwave generated by the giant sword slicing through the sky even gave Doflamingo a sense of insignificance.

That massive sword, seemingly piercing the heavens, made Doflamingo dare not harbor even the slightest侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, a feeling of getting away with something).

If you can't dodge in time, the consequences will be far more serious than just getting injured!

Instantly, Doflamingo used the power of the "String-String Fruit" to construct a bridge made of several thin strings in mid-air. He stepped on it to stabilize his body, while stretching his hands forward and releasing a large number of thin strings in all directions.

"The Spider's Nest!"

Suddenly, an enormous spiderweb-like web appeared in mid-air, covered in Armament Haki, making it pitch black.

The next moment, the giant sword and the spider web collided heavily.

"clang!"

The stalemate lasted only a moment.

As Yann unleashed the full power of the "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King," a terrifying force erupted from the giant sword.

"Click, click..."

Doflamingo watched helplessly as the fine lines enhanced by Armament Haki shattered one by one, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

However, before Doflamingo could continue releasing a large number of white threads to maintain the "Spider's Nest," the thin threads that were supporting Doflamingo in mid-air like a bridge snapped.

"boom!"

The giant sword swept across the sky, shattering a large amount of white clouds and sending Doflamingo, who was wearing a pink coat, flying like a baseball.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the man who looked like a pink bird disappeared into the horizon.

……

Ya'en.

This scene completely surprised Arn, so much so that even the seemingly majestic and imposing "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" was visibly stunned.

After all, Yann hadn't expected Doflamingo to be so stubborn and a true man, choosing to withstand the full force of "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King's" strike.

An eerie calm fell over the desolate, ruined island.

Immediately, Yann's Observation Haki swept back and forth across the deserted island several times, and after manipulating "Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King" to destroy the Donquixote Family's ships as well, he slowly released "Bankai: Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King".
