Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Immediately afterwards, Yann entered the spiritual space and transformed into the "Lord of Hueco Mundo," summoning Corazon's consciousness.

"What are your instructions, Great Lord of Hueco Mundo?" Corazon asked respectfully, looking at the ancient being whose appearance was obscured on the throne.

Yern pointed and transmitted a location not far from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise into Corazon's consciousness, then spoke.

"Some interesting things will be discovered here in the near future."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Corazon could even ask a question, his consciousness was expelled.

"what?!"

The whole process was so fast that when Corazon in reality opened his eyes again, he was still a little dazed.

but……

Corazon closed his eyes and concentrated, only to find that the location indicated by the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" was clearly imprinted in his mind.

After a moment's thought, out of reverence for the mysterious and ancient Lord of Hueco Mundo, and having originally planned to head directly to Corazon in the latter half of the Grand Line, he decided to get there as soon as possible.

Why do I still feel insecure?

After shaking all the people who could shake, Yann couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling a little guilty.

"To be conservative, Dragon is a combatant of the admiral level. Corazon can barely hold off an admiral, plus some Revolutionary Army and Don Quixote Family high-level combatants who are comparable to vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters."

"If I were to boast a little, I'd say I'm at least a Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters."

"This level of surprise attack could probably destroy most of Marineford, but it's still a bit risky to venture into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Without comparison, one wouldn't know how weak one's own forces are; once compared, Yann suddenly realized how small the situation was.

"weak……"

"Too weak!"

Yann sighed deeply at this cruel reality.

However, if Aon wants to become stronger, he can only rely more on the passage of time, constantly awakening new Zanpakuto or gaining new power and spiritual pressure.

"At present, it seems that the only way to strengthen our own forces is to wait for the Revolutionary Army to grow stronger, or to recruit strong individuals to join Hueco Mundo."

However, the problem is that Yann is not capable of recruiting powerful combatants at the Admiral level or above, and those strong individuals would not inexplicably join the mysterious Hueco Mundo organization.

For example, if a man like "Whitebeard" Newgate Edward dared to show his face in front of him, he would probably have to take a few punches from that monster that contained the power of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit".

That's why Yan understood that it was more realistic to find some strong talents to join the "Hueco Mundo Organization" in the early stages and strengthen them through the "Hollow Soul Slayer Blade".

Once the Hueco Mundo organization has become truly powerful and its reputation has grown, it would be feasible to select some existing strong individuals to join at that time.

"Be cautious and make a run for it if things go wrong."

Yann set the basic tone for his trip to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

And so, amidst Yann's trepidation and the screams and wails of the World Government officials, the World Government ship headed straight for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Just before the ship was about to arrive at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, witnessed by many World Government agents on board, a World Government official inexplicably went mad and insulted the Celestial Dragons. He was then blasted to pieces on the spot by CP0 member Barak, who threw his body into the sea.

"Congratulations, your unforgettable journey is finally coming to an end."

Yann silently bid farewell to the World Government official and prepared to ascend to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Feigning illness is necessary...

During such a special time, it is also important to take good care of your own protection.

So Yann had Baby-5 mimic the shape of bandages and wrapped his entire body around it.

[146. Chapter 146 The Darkness Hidden Beneath the Holy Land]

As night fell, the World Government ships successfully docked at Bubble Cable Car Port.

Meanwhile, Yann, whose face was obscured by bandages, lay lazily in the small car, letting Balakla pull the car onto the bubble cable car to go to the holy land of Mary Geoise, located at the top of the Red Line.

That place is located 10,000 meters above sea level, in the clouds.

steep!

The Red Line, which forms a ninety-degree angle with the sea, is incredibly sturdy and difficult to conquer. As for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, located at the top of the Red Line, Yern simply cannot imagine how he could possibly attack it.

The World Government only needs to destroy the bubble cable car, and unless they fly or climb the nearly 90-degree arc of the Red Line by hand, the enemy will not even have a chance to reach the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Yern, who had been secretly considering Mary Geoise as his hypothetical enemy, felt for a moment that this was almost an unsolvable problem.

However, this is a problem that the future revolutionary army must face.

To overthrow the World Government, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, which serves as the World Government's headquarters, must be conquered.

"The road ahead is difficult."

Yann sighed helplessly, but he wasn't afraid that Barak would hear him.

Because in Barak's memory, which was completely hypnotized, he tried to torture Yann with more than five hundred kinds of torture instruments during this journey.

These methods included, but were not limited to, various conventional means. Finally, when Arn was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable and on the verge of death, Arn gave in.

Furthermore, in Barak's memory, it was he who personally wrapped Arn's body in bandages and took the initiative to come up with the idea of ​​taking Arn to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise in a small cart.

Even if Yann jumps up and sings "Conquer" in Barak's ear, in Barak's perception, Yann is still unconscious and on the verge of death in the car.

Soon, as the bubble cable car reached the top of the Red Earth, Yann felt for the first time how close he was to the stars.

Clouds drifted everywhere, seemingly within reach, and the star-studded sky seemed to be just a short distance away, making one feel as if they were standing between the clouds and the starry sky.

This is a completely different view from the sea...

nice!

But as Yann instinctively unleashed his Observation Haki to sense the danger around him, a cold sweat jolted him awake, bringing him back to reality from the superficial beauty of the scene.

Observation Haki is the power of "hearing," and at this moment, Yann could vaguely hear a large number of wailing and lamenting sounds coming from the ground below him.

"Sir, please board the moving walkway."

As Balakla drove the car up the "flat elevator" that resembled the one in Arn's past life memories, the wails and cries grew increasingly chaotic, accompanied by the sounds of whipping and shouting.

"You idiots, who gave you permission to rest? Get moving..."

"Pull it at a steady, unhurried pace to maintain the comfort of the moving walkway."

"Clap clap clap..."

"Useless trash, who told you to fall? Help me up!!!"

……

Beneath the "moving walkway" that leads directly to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, using his Observation Haki, Yann could sense a large amount of life force below, which vaguely formed an outline-like image.

slave!

Thousands of slaves maintained this so-called "automatic pedestrian walkway" underground by human power, and whips were constantly lashing them, treating them like animals.

At this moment, truly sensing the scene, Yann felt a chill run down his spine.

If the vast majority of kingdoms on the sea have a feudal system, then Mary Geoise is a true example of slavery!

If it weren't for the armored soldiers guarding both sides of the "moving pedestrian walkway," Yann, feeling a chill in his heart, would have almost wanted to leave this "moving pedestrian walkway" filled with sin on the spot.

"It's not just the Celestial Dragons, but the entire World Government that tacitly accepts the existence of slaves, and Mary Geoise, the holy land that stands atop the clouds, is built upon the foundation of slaves."

For a moment, Yann's mood became much heavier.

Yann didn't want to one day become a mere "part" under this "moving walkway," like an animal, and he didn't want his descendants to suffer the same fate.

In the past, Yann had always denied the World Government and secretly supported the establishment of the Revolutionary Army, mainly because Yann realized that the World Government was essentially an extremely large organization that constantly plundered the wealth of the entire sea, similar to a pirate crew.

It does not establish a comprehensive transportation, medical, and education system like a real country in order to protect civilians at sea.

It will not, like a real country, grant ordinary people any right to speak and express themselves.

From the very beginning, Yann had a vague sense that the World Government was not a country, but a super-large organization that connected more than a hundred member countries of the world.

At this moment, Yann could see it all clearly.

The World Government has never regarded the civilians on the sea as its own people. Its actions toward the entire ocean can almost be summarized in one sentence.

That is to amass the wealth of the sea in the form of "heavenly gold," and then maintain rule through the navy and intelligence agencies, blocking any dangers that might threaten the world government.

Whether the ocean truly prospers or whether ordinary people live happily and peacefully, the world government does not care.

"Now it all seems to make sense..."

Yaen murmured silently.

"Imu! The one who hides behind the World Government and makes the Five Elders, who hold the highest power on the surface, submit."

"Perhaps, the World Government has been his private organization from the very beginning, and has continued for more than eight hundred years."

"In other words, the true masters of the World Government are Im and the Celestial Dragons."

"It is only for the sake of justice, and to avoid the emergence of endless resistance, that it is called the World Government, and it maintains stable rule over the entire ocean based on the world member states scattered throughout the ocean."

Suddenly, Yan felt that this simple and crude approach was exactly what a super-large pirate crew that had completely dominated the seas would do.

"A blank century?"

As Yann vaguely sensed it, he seemed to have a few more guesses about the history that the World Government had deliberately hidden.

If things are going as Yann guessed, it's no wonder that when the World Government discovered that Ohara was researching the "Void Century," it was so eager to accuse Ohara of researching "Ancient Weapons" and carry out its complete destruction.

Just as Arn couldn't help but shrink the range of his Observation Haki to avoid hearing the screams originating from the slaves.

Barak finally led him through the "moving walkway" and into the outer area of ​​the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

[147. Chapter 147 Fisher Tiger]

However, Barak did not lead Yann toward the central area of ​​the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Instead, he pulled the cart around the outer area, and the surrounding environment gradually became quiet.

"Where is Barak going?"

Yann frowned slightly, glancing around at his surroundings.

Suddenly, both Yann and Barak paused slightly, noticing something flashing in the drainage ditch not far away.

"come out!"

Barak let out a low shout and his body shot out instantly, his strength concentrated on his fingers as he thrust them towards the drain.

"biu!"
