Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Barak also knew that he couldn't withstand the wrath of Marshal Sengoku, so he planned to secretly hide Arn away to recover from his injuries, at least until he was no longer in such a bad state before taking him out.

"This is outrageous! You're a CP0 agent, aren't you? You weren't scared at all when you were hypnotized, but now you're chickening out..."

"Now look what's happened, I'm actually going to jail."

Yann muttered to himself, feeling as if he had been pushed into a cage.

Now, Yann needs to consider how long he should recuperate.

After all, Barak believed that his injuries were still quite serious.

"Clang..."

Suddenly, a series of chain clanging sounds rang out, and then Yann heard the sound of the wooden door of the cage being opened.

"The three of you stay here for the next few days and take good care of the person lying inside, feeding and hydrating him, understand?"

"Okay." Three somewhat weak female voices rang out.

"boom!"

The wooden door was then closed again, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

A moment later, Yann's Observation Haki subtly expanded its range, and after confirming that there was no one else outside the cage, he slowly opened his eyes a crack.

In the dimly lit corner of the cage, Yann could barely make out three little girls huddled together, whispering to each other.

"Is this person also a slave?"

"possible."

"Then why should we take care of him?"

"Perhaps they were relatively valuable slaves."

"But he hasn't made a sound at all. Could he be dead?"

Hearing this, Yann, whose body was wrapped in bandages, felt it was necessary to say something.

Immediately, Yann, who was lying stiffly, suddenly shuddered.

This sudden turn of events startled the three little girls hiding in the corner, causing them to tremble with fear.

"Sister, you scared me to death."

"He...he moved, could he be a zombie?"

"Don't make a fuss, isn't it normal for him to move? Dead people don't need care."

Immediately, the three little girls' voices faded, and they held hands and slowly approached Yaen, seemingly wanting to check on his condition.

As the two drew closer, Yann, who had been secretly peeking through his slits, was startled and instinctively opened his eyes.

Boa Hancock?!

However, to the three Boa sisters, who were cautiously approaching the mysterious bandaged man, the sudden opening of his eyes was nothing short of a terrifying supernatural event.

"Ah~~"

[Chapter 149. The Mission of the Hueco Mundo Organization?]

Meanwhile, Fisher Tiger, who had infiltrated the drainage system, did not choose to ambush the bubble cable car, but instead went directly down the complex drainage system of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

then……

"thump!"

After an unknown amount of time, on a cliff face in the red earth continent, Fisher Tiger, almost as if chosen by fate, fell out of one of the few drainage outlets in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

However, Fisher Tiger does not know "Naval Six Styles: Moonwalk", and as a fish-man, he does not have the ability to fly.

"Huh..."

Fisher Tiger stared blankly at the clouds below; at this terrifying height, he could barely make out the surface of the sea.

"Whoosh!"

In the next instant, under the influence of gravity, Fisher Tiger plummeted towards the sea like a shooting star.

"boom!"

Even though the physically strong Fisher Tiger landed in the water with a near-perfect posture, the immense impact still knocked him unconscious instantly.

Immediately, Fisher Tiger floated quietly on the surface of the sea like a salted fish.

"Young Master, look, there seems to be a fishman's corpse over there."

Soon, a ship flying the Donquixote Family pirate flag, its overall shape resembling a giant praying mantis, approached Fisher Tiger's direction.

Corazon looked at the nautical chart in his hand and compared it with the memories passed down to him by the "Lord of Hueco Mundo," and it turned out to be exactly this place.

"Could it be referring to the fish-man's corpse?"

However, the Lord of Hueco Mundo gave Corazon too few clues, so vaguely that Corazon had no idea what he was required to do.

After hesitating for a moment, Corazon gave the order.

"Let's go over and take a look."

As Tiger was pulled up by the Don Quixote family, Señor stepped forward to check Tiger's breathing and said...

"Young Master, this fishman is still alive; he must have just fainted."

“Have the ship’s doctor wake him up,” Corazon said.

Soon, after being fiddled with by the ship's doctor, Tiger woke up somewhat groggily. He glanced at the Don Quixote family officers in front of him, who were of different builds but were clearly not ordinary people, and then looked around at his surroundings before asking a question.

"Are you pirates? Did you save me?"

In that short time, Corazon had already guessed Tiger's identity from his attire and the collar around his neck, and spoke up directly.

“We are from the Don Quixote family. We didn’t really save you; we just woke you up.”

"Wake him up..."

Tiger suddenly realized what was happening, leaping abruptly from the deck and exclaiming, "Damn it, how long have I been unconscious, Hueco Mundo..."

As Tiger's last words reached Corazon's ears, Corazon's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously used the "Silence-Silence Fruit" ability to block out Tiger's voice, preventing the other Donquixote Family executives from hearing it.

Immediately, Corazon interrupted with a serious expression, "Wait, who are you?"

"Fischer Tiger, a merfolk explorer."

Tiger answered without hesitation, "However, I was unlucky enough to be captured and enslaved a while ago, but I just managed to escape."

Corazon frowned, then asked, "So what you just mentioned was... Hueco Mundo? Where did you get that name from?"

Tiger, upon hearing this, asked in surprise, "You also know the Lord of Hueco Mundo?"

Corazon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The reason I came here is because of a mission from Hueco Mundo."

Immediately, Tiger seemed to have found his people and spoke up.

"Great! Something's happened! Hueco Mundo's leader has been captured by CP0. I managed to escape only because he fought so hard. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to rescue Hueco Mundo's leader by myself infiltrating the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. It would be so great to have help."

"what?!"

Corazon was shocked!

Even though Corazon knew that he was extremely powerful in his "Crying Mantis" released form, he never expected that the mission assigned to him by the Lord of Hueco Mundo would be to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise with the person in front of him to rescue people.

This... is tantamount to a near-death experience!

"Is this really the mission? Is it to make me wait here for this fishman named Tiger, and then go rescue another Hueco Mundo comrade?"

Corazon couldn't help but think that this mission was a bit too outrageous.

Immediately, Corazon wanted to take the initiative to travel to that strange space with his consciousness to verify the mission with the "Lord of Hueco Mundo".

However, to prevent the secret from being leaked, Yann has normally blocked the passage for the consciousness granted the "Void Soul-Slaying Blade" to enter his mental space, so Corazon simply cannot enter.

In Corazon's view, this feeling of being blocked and refused entry was tantamount to admitting defeat.

After all, the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" is an ancient being who is said to be omniscient and omnipotent.

If Corazon misunderstood his intentions, the great "Lord of Hueco Mundo" should know, and the current situation of refusing to meet is very likely because the "Lord of Hueco Mundo" disdains to answer such a foolish question directly.

"That would be troublesome!"

Corazon's expression twitched slightly as he scratched his head vigorously, never expecting his first mission after joining Hueco Mundo to be so ridiculously difficult.

"But that makes sense, isn't it? This is probably the price to pay for this terrifying combat power?"

Upon realizing this, Corazon found it quite reasonable.

Perhaps for an ancient being that can casually bestow upon someone the strength of a general, venturing into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is not such a big deal.

However, this was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task for Corazon.

Thinking of this, Corazon couldn't help but smile bitterly, his face half mournful and half helpless.

Tiger, watching Corazon's series of perfectly natural changes in expression, couldn't help but ask, "Are you coming with me to rescue the Lord of Hueco Mundo or not?"

“Go!” Corazon gritted his teeth and agreed, then asked, “Is there a specific plan?”

"Have!"

Fisher Tiger nodded and said.

"Actually, the reason I became a slave to the Celestial Dragons was voluntary. Besides being an explorer's curiosity to understand what slavery was like, I also wanted to take the opportunity to rescue my fellow fish-men who had fallen into slavery."

"Therefore, before I fled, I had secretly made an agreement with many of my compatriots. They would organize the remaining slaves to incite a riot, and together we would rush out of Mary Geoise."

"In addition, the Hueco Mundo leaders also reminded me that I must act according to the plan and choose an auspicious day to boldly take on the challenge, following my inner thoughts."

"However, there are two pressing issues that must be addressed. First: controlling the Bubble Cable Car Port, which is the only solution for a large-scale evacuation of people from Mary Geoise;"

"The second, and most troublesome, point..."

[Chapter 150: The Three Sisters of Boa]

"Secondly, and most troublesomely, we need to create chaos in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to attract CP0 members to protect the Celestial Dragons. Otherwise, the slaves will have no chance of escaping Mary Geoise under the attack of the CP0 members."

Fisher Tiger said with a troubled expression.

"However, even though I've been in Mary Geoise for so long, I still haven't had a chance to confirm where the Celestial Dragons live. Otherwise, I could have set a fire there."

Hearing this, Corazon was absolutely certain that his mission was to cooperate with Fisher Tiger in front of him.
