Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

“Lord Yann, this is already a very respectable situation, and the people of Frevans have already accepted the possible future.”

Byrne said in a somber tone, “Going forward, half of the treatment slots will be prioritized for children, while the other half will be allocated by lottery.”

"In addition, many elderly people have voluntarily given up their treatment opportunities, so there will be no unnecessary riots."

"Yes, you handled it very well."

After a moment of silence, Yann acknowledged Byrne's approach, but with a heavy heart, he walked out of Byrne's office and looked towards Luo, who was receiving treatment in the church in the distance.

What made Yann feel most conflicted was that in front of that simple church, instead of a statue of a god, stood a man without facial features.

That man is the eternal hero in the hearts of the people of Flevans—Yarn, who saved them in Flevans Square years ago.

Of course, they did not know what the hero looked like, so they could only erect a statue without facial features to commemorate Yann.

"Hey, is Luo still too young after all? He lacks stamina."

Yann muttered to himself about the problem.

Initially, Yann had considered this issue, so he planned to give the "Op-Op Fruit" to a trustworthy adult comrade to eat in order to cure "Amber Lead Disease".

Unexpectedly, through a series of unforeseen events, Law ultimately became the user of the "Op-Op Fruit".

Now Yann understands that there are actually two simplest ways to solve this predicament: either have a more skilled doctor treat "Lead Disease" and prolong the lives of the original citizens of Frevans; or strengthen Luo's physical strength.

As for the former, Yaon has given up hope, while the latter still has a high probability of being achieved through the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade".

The "Void Soul-Slaying Blades" that Arn can bestow are "Evil Consort" and "Black Winged Demon".

That night, as Luo dragged his incredibly heavy body back to the castle and was about to collapse into bed, Yann called him back.

"Luo, wait a minute."

"Hmm? Mr. Yann, is there something you need?"

Luo, who was still somewhat dazed, suddenly realized that Corazon was not in the hall, and then belatedly asked.

"Huh? Where's Mr. Corazon?"

“Corazon has gone back to the Don Quixote family,” Yann replied.

"what?!"

Stimulated by those words, Luo jolted awake, completely snapping out of his daze, and pressed for an answer.

"Why did Mr. Corazon go back to that place? He had already been exposed."

“That was Corazon’s choice, and he gained new power from Hueco Mundo. He has now successfully reintegrated the Donquixote Family and is setting sail for the Grand Line as captain,” Yann replied.

After a few moments of stunned silence, he murmured with reluctance in his eyes, "Mr. Corazon didn't even say goodbye to me."

"Luo, men of the sea do not need to say goodbye. As long as we are still on this sea, we will meet again someday."

Yann casually offered a reassuring remark to Luo, then said, "Besides, you've been working day and night these past few days, and Corazon didn't even have time to properly say goodbye to you."

“Yes, that’s true. Once I’ve healed my compatriots, I will definitely go out to sea again to find Mr. Corazon,” Luo said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Yann tapped the sofa lightly with his finger and then said, "Luo, are you absolutely certain that you can cure all the original citizens of Frevans?"

Luo replied, somewhat puzzled. "Of course, haven't those compatriots recovered? They're healthy now."

“But, do you have enough time? At a rate of thirty patients per day, it will take you more than nine years to reach over 100,000 people. You can keep going, but those patients can’t,” Yann said bluntly.

Luo's eyes widened in an instant. He had been so immersed in the joy of treating his compatriots these past few days, coupled with extreme physical and mental exhaustion, that he hadn't noticed this fact at all.

"Then I...then I..."

Luo said, his voice trembling. "Then I'll treat a little more each day, and I'll make it in time."

"It's no use, Law. Your physical strength has reached its limit. You're too weak to use the Op-Op Fruit's abilities anymore, aren't you?" Yann said.

"How could that be? I can do it! I can do it!"

Having said that, Luo, as if trying to prove something to Yann, reluctantly raised his palm and growled.

"room!"

However, the transparent cyclone that had just formed in Luo's palm dissipated the next moment.

Yann had anticipated this scene!

How could Luo possibly be willing to rest before he had completely exhausted his physical strength?

No one understood the suffering of "lead poisoning" better than Luo, because he was more eager than any doctor to cure his fellow countrymen.

At this moment, Luo's expression revealed despair as he desperately tried to squeeze out just a little more strength to prove to Yann that he still had hope of saving all his compatriots in Frevans.

However, after nearly ten attempts, which exhausted all of Law's strength to stand, Law despaired, and faint sobs echoed within the castle.

[140. Chapter 140 The Evil and Lustful Consort]

This cruel and desperate reality was the hardest for Luo to accept.

He clearly held the hope of saving his compatriots, yet he was unable to do so due to his own lack of ability.

“Mr. Yann, isn’t there any other way?” Luo asked in a low voice.

After a moment's hesitation, Yann finally made up his mind.

Law himself has considerable potential, and he is also a user of the "Op-Op Fruit". Whether it is combat power or medical skills, he has the potential to become one of the world's top, so it is not a bad idea to let him join the "Hueco Mundo Organization".

However, Yan felt inexplicably that his "Hueco Mundo Organization" was developing into a children's class. Apart from Corazon and himself, who were adults, Robin, Baby-5, and even Law in front of him were all minors.

"I didn't come here to be a kindergarten principal..."

Yaen mentally scoffed, then a bright light appeared in his palm, which he let float in front of Luo, and said.

"This is the key to communicating with the Lord of Hueco Mundo. If you are prepared, then hold on tight to it."

"If you can gain the approval of the Lord of Hueco Mundo, or arouse the interest of the Lord of Hueco Mundo, then you can join the Hueco Mundo organization and obtain a brand new power."

Luo looked at the mysterious light emanating from the front of him, swallowed hard, and then asked.

"Mr. Yann, you just said that Mr. Corazon also joined Hueco Mundo, is that right?"

“That’s right, and I’m also a member of Hueco Mundo,” Yann replied.

"I understand."

Luo nodded, took a deep breath, and with great effort raised his trembling, weak hand to gently touch the light.

Soon, another egg was formed.

"Congratulations, Brother Yan, you've successfully fooled another one," Robin said, unfazed by the situation.

“This isn’t called fooling around!” Yann corrected.

"Um……"

Robin nodded and said, "Congratulations, Brother Yan, on successfully abducting another one."

This... seems even stranger...

Yann suddenly stood up and approached Robin with a serious expression.

This made Robin a little uneasy. She glanced at Arn, then quickly looked away, pretending to be casual as she asked gently, "What does Brother Arn want to do?"

The next moment, Yann's claws reached out towards Robin, grabbing her hair and stroking it vigorously until Robin's face turned red and she was panting, her hair completely disheveled, before he finally let go.

"Always so serious, Robin, are you going to become unlovable?"

Feeling refreshed and relaxed, Yann smiled and said.

Robin rolled her eyes at Arn while fixing her hair and said, "Does Brother Arn like me to be a little less serious?"

……

Ya'en.

Sure enough, I couldn't win an argument with this girl.

Immediately, Yaen wisely stopped exploring the issue further and instead entered the mental realm to deceive...

No, it was the completion of Law's first meeting with the Lord of Hueco Mundo.

The whole process went very smoothly!

Law, who was still a teenager, was completely intimidated in no time and became convinced of the existence of the Lord of Hueco Mundo.

The "Void Soul-Slaying Blade" that Yone ultimately bestowed upon Law was named "Evil Consort," a rather unorthodox name, and its abilities were equally unorthodox.

After Luo emerged from her shell like a newborn, and after a series of experiments by Ya'en, it was confirmed that the "Evil Consort's" ability was human body modification, and that she could perform all sorts of incredible human body modifications.

Of course, for Luo, he was able to successfully use the "Evil Consort's" ability to plunder a certain amount of physical strength from each patient he treated.

In other words, Law doesn't need to worry about the physical exertion required to treat his injuries using the "Op-Op Fruit".

Even so, it will still take Luo a considerable amount of time to completely eradicate the "lead poisoning" in his compatriots.

Afterwards, Yann left Law at the temporary base and then hurriedly took Baby-5 and Robin back to Marine Base 521 via Little Gold.

We have to go back to Naval Base 521, because Vice Admiral Tsuru is coming.

Once Vice Admiral Tsuru discovers that Aon is not at Naval Base 521, Aon really can't think of any way to deal with such an experienced old fox as Vice Admiral Tsuru.

……

As Vice Admiral Tsuru's flagship, which resembled a steel behemoth, docked in the harbor, the adjutant of Naval Base 521 hurriedly went to greet it.

"Where is Captain Yann?" Lieutenant General Tsuru asked, looking around.

"Lord Yann is seriously injured and unable to move easily, so he is unable to come and greet Lieutenant General Tsuru in person," the adjutant replied.

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded and said, "Take me to see him."

"Yes!"

Immediately, led by his adjutant, Lieutenant General Tsuru and Gion arrived at the door of an office.

As the door opened, they saw Yann, his body wrapped in bandages, wearing glasses, struggling to process documents with one hand, while an IV drip attached to his body hung from a pole beside him.

At this moment, even Lieutenant General Tsuru's expression was somewhat moved, and he couldn't help but praise him.

"If every member of the navy learned from Captain Yone's spirit, how could the seas be difficult to pacify and pirates continue to run rampant?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Immediately, the surrounding navy nodded in agreement, and Gion's beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle.
