Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Fleet Admiral Sengoku keenly sensed that some Celestial Dragons seemed to be dissatisfied with a Navy captain's murder of former Celestial Dragon Donquixote Doflamingo, believing it to be a provocation against the Celestial Dragon bloodline by the Navy.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not even have time to issue an order in the name of the Navy Headquarters to end the term of the North Sea Inspectorate, and hurriedly ordered Vice Admiral Tsuru to bring Aon back to Marineford.

The purpose was to keep Arn under their noses and protect him, so as to prevent the Celestial Dragons from causing trouble for Arn.

However, what Fleet Admiral Sengoku feared still happened. The Celestial Dragons couldn't even wait and intercepted Yann halfway there, giving him no chance to reach Marineford.

After a moment, the Sengoku Marshal took a deep breath, suppressing all his anxiety and anger, and dialed the Den Den Mushi of the most powerful person in the entire sea on the surface—the "Five Elders".

Just as Fleet Admiral Sengoku was attempting to negotiate with the Five Elders, a World Government official stood smugly before Yann on a World Government ship, mocking him.

"Kid, weren't you feeling pretty smug? The North Sea Inspectorate? Tsk tsk tsk..."

In response, Yann glanced at the World Government official but remained silent.

"You think you can rest easy just because you're the adopted son of a marshal of the Warring States period? Who do you think you are?"

Driven by excitement and a sense of catharsis, the World Government official's expression gradually contorted as he pressed his face close to Yan's and spoke.

"Even if I kill you right here today, what can Marshal Sengoku say?"

"Didn't you say that Saint Musgarud wanted to see me? Are you sure you want to kill me here?" Yann asked calmly.

[Chapter 144 Intensifying the Effort]

"Hehehe, scared now?"

When this issue was raised, the world government official looked extremely proud and said...

"Why do you think Saint Musgard would even notice an ant like you? Wasn't it because I deliberately gave Saint Musgard a vivid account of how you killed Doflamingo?"

"So, you were able to meet the descendants of the creator of the world thanks to me, do you understand?"

Immediately afterwards, the world government official grabbed Yann's handcuffs and dragged him into the cabin.

As a patient who was ostensibly a user of the "Sakura-Sakura Fruit" and was wrapped in bandages, Yann could only follow the World Government official's lead with a furrowed brow.

To Arn's surprise, Barak, a member of CP0, followed behind him the whole time, seemingly to prevent Arn from escaping.

Clearly, this arrogant World Government official may not understand the level of power required to kill Doflamingo, but this CP0 member is well aware of the danger posed by Yon and is constantly on guard against him.

Soon, the World Government officials led Yann to a special cabin, and made sure to close the door before excitedly taking off his cumbersome suit jacket.

"Damn it, you dared to embarrass me in front of so many people last time. This time, I'll let you enjoy my reward."

Ayan turned his gaze and noticed that the cabin was filled with all sorts of torture instruments.

"So, you like these?" Yan asked in return.

"Of course, those heartfelt screams are simply the most beautiful and soul-stirring music in the world."

The world government official chuckled as he twirled the red-hot iron heating over the brazier and spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But on the way to Mary Geoise, I'll cripple you completely and wrap you in bandages again. No one will know what happened."

"Hehehe, you bastard, remember this unforgettable journey well."

Hearing this, Yann couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Pfft..."

"why are you laughing?"

The World Government official's expression grew increasingly grim, and he raised his hand, pulling out a red-hot branding iron and shoving it into Yann's chest.

In response, Arn remained motionless, but just as the branding iron was about to be imprinted on Arn's body, a hand covered in Armament Haki reached past Arn and grasped the red-hot branding iron.

The world government official looked up, puzzled, and questioned Barak, who was holding a red-hot branding iron. "Barak? What are you doing?"

However, Barak seemed oblivious to the questions posed by the world government officials, instead displaying an angry expression on his face.

Immediately, to the bewilderment of the World Government officials, Barak abruptly grabbed the red-hot branding iron, then, with one hand holding the World Government official like a chick, pressed the red-hot branding iron against the official's chest.

"what!!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed from the relatively sealed, specially designed cabin.

"What are you doing? Barak, are you crazy?"

"Ah, no, Barak..."

"No, Brother Ke, yamete..."

……

Unfortunately, Barak did not respond to the World Government officials' pleas and cries for mercy. Instead, he became increasingly angry and continued to use the various torture instruments that filled the room on the World Government officials.

As for Yann, he sat leisurely in a corner of the room, watching the good show unfold before him.

A mirage!

Anyone who has witnessed the Shikai of "Zanpakuto: Kyoka Suigetsu" once will be permanently hypnotized, and this hypnosis will include all perceptions, including the five senses.

Back in the "White Town" of Frevans, Yann had used "Mirror Flower Water Moon" on Barak once before, and now he could manipulate Barak's five senses again with no effort at all.

Therefore, in Barak's current view, this World Government official is Yann, who is constantly insulting the Celestial Dragons, cursing Barak's entire family, and shouting things like he has no fear of punishment and that if he has the guts, he should be made to submit.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The high-pitched screams gradually acquired a rhythmic cadence, but Yann ultimately failed to reach the level of this World Government official and could not appreciate the beautiful melody within.

Immediately, Yann walked to the cabin window, opened it, and waved to Little Gold outside, letting it enter the cabin. He then took some fruit and snacks from the castle to enjoy.

The journey to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is still long, and with Barak's hospitality, this World Government official will likely have a wonderful and unforgettable trip.

But Yann still needs to eat and sleep, and these important matters cannot be delayed.

However, Yann now roughly understands what happened.

Donquixote Doflamingo, as a former Celestial Dragon, has lost all the privileges of a Celestial Dragon and is not recognized by the Holy Land Mary Geoise, but the blood of a Celestial Dragon still flows in his veins.

The fact that such a man was killed by the Navy has made the matter sensitive, especially in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, who are high above and consider themselves gods. This is undoubtedly tantamount to the Navy provoking the majesty of the gods.

In particular, Don Quixote Musgarud Saint, who was also a member of the Don Quixote family, was thoroughly angered by this World Government official's embellishment.

Thinking this, Yann glanced at the World Government official, whose face was flushed and who was groaning incessantly, and said, "So, it really is because of this bastard that I was intercepted halfway and taken to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise?"

"As expected, most of the Celestial Dragons are just a bunch of willful bastards..."

Yan sighed helplessly, realizing that he had somewhat overlooked the capriciousness of the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles.

Perhaps the Five Elders, the rulers of the World Government, still act with logic, while the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, act entirely based on their own whims.

Given that Arn's identity is quite sensitive, this arrest without any reason could very likely cause instability within the Navy.

Furthermore, the great pirate Doflamingo, who was killed, was essentially trying to take revenge on the World Government and was an enemy standing against the Celestial Dragons, yet Saint Musgard still issued this order.

Yann smacked his lips and said with relief.

"But that makes sense. The Celestial Dragons pride themselves on their pure and noble bloodline and never intermarry with other races. Over the past eight hundred years, this inbreeding has resulted in most Celestial Dragons being mentally challenged, with only a small number being geniuses and elites."

The World Government official standing nearby listened to Yann's words and said incredulously.

"Yarn, how dare you insult the World Nobles! You're dead! Barak, stop right there! Didn't you hear this bastard cursing the Celestial Dragons?"

Yann glanced at the World Government official with surprise and said, "Tsk, Barak, didn't you hear me? I told you you're not very energetic, so step up your efforts."

"Ah~ Oh~ Aww~~~"

[145. Chapter 145 Arrival at Mary Geoise]

For a moment, the screams of this World Government official became increasingly heart-wrenching, to the point that even Yann could hardly bear to watch.

However, considering that this World Government official claimed that this was his favorite kind of music, Yann, suppressing his discomfort, tactfully refrained from interrupting the World Government official's "performance."

Meanwhile, Yann began to consider whether or not to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

In this situation, it would be the simplest thing for Yann to run away. Just as he had planned before, he could easily find a deserted island through Xiao Jin and hide there for ten or twenty years without any problem.

In this way, Yann can completely avoid the risks from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

After all, the place in this ocean that Yann fears the most is the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the residence of the Celestial Dragons and the center of the World Government. It is impossible to count how many powerful beings are hidden there.

In addition, there is a terrifying being called "Im," who truly hides behind the World Government and controls the seas, and is also in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Danger!

Too dangerous!

"Maybe we should just slip away."

Yann murmured to himself, carefully considering the feasibility of the idea.

However, the only thing that Yann was somewhat worried about was the old man from the Sengoku period.

Yaon had to consider whether Sengoku, the old man, would be unable to withstand the blow of his two adopted sons betraying the Navy and might even kick the bucket on the spot.

"Old man, he shouldn't be that fragile, right?"

"But it's hard to say. The old man is secretly quite horny, and he's not young anymore. He's definitely at the age where a stroke could happen at any time."

"Sometimes, even when you're in good health, you can collapse just as easily."

At this thought, Yann couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, and instead considered the level of security he would have when traveling to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"I reckon that old man from the Warring States period should have already started trying to get me out of trouble by now."

"The old man is, after all, the Fleet Admiral of the Navy. Those foolish Celestial Dragons may not understand the importance of Sengoku, but the Five Elders will definitely care about Sengoku's feelings to prevent turmoil in the Navy."

"Therefore, with the intervention of the Five Elders, the possibility of that Saint Musgarud killing me directly is not high."

"No, no, we can't think like that. To place our hopes and lives entirely on the face of that old man from the Sengoku period, or on whether the Celestial Dragons are willful, is simply too irresponsible of ourselves."

"It seems we still need to make two preparations: on the one hand, we are hoping for a connection with the old man from the Warring States period, and on the other hand, we need to prepare enough combat power to support him."

Having made the decision, Yann did not hesitate to start calling for reinforcements.

"Moshi moshi? Dorag?"

"Yes, I'm on the Grand Line. Yes, there's a plan for me now..."

"What? You're not on the Grand Line? Why are you in the North Blue?"

"Then let's do this: gather your forces and head to the Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible."

……

As for what exactly to do, Yann did not tell Dragon, since whether he would be needed to provide support at that time was another matter.

If I manage to emerge from Mary Geoise unscathed, I can simply use the pretext of holding a "meeting of high-level revolutionary forces."
