Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

As Saint Musgard raised his head, one could see that he had a head of light green hair, a diamond-shaped face, and an unusual appearance. He wore the resin bubbles that were unique to Celestial Dragons, and his figure was slightly bloated.

Which one is Y'en?

As Musgalud stood up, everyone else in the hall knelt down, afraid of offending him.

This is precisely why Yann deliberately pretended to be sick and couldn't get up.

According to the World Government's requirements, even the Navy must kneel and bow when meeting a Celestial Dragon, unless Yann intends to oppose the World Government right now, otherwise there will be no exception.

However, the pride hidden deep within Yaen made him absolutely unwilling to perform this so-called kneeling ceremony.

So, Yann decided to lie down.

“Your Holiness, Lord Musgarud, I am Termoffyan.” Yann replied with a sickly expression.

Saint Musgarud looked at Yann, who was bound like a mummy, and asked, "Hmm? Why are you wrapped in bandages all over?"

“I was seriously injured in the battle against the great pirate Doflamingo, so I haven’t recovered yet,” Yann replied.

"So, you really killed my cousin Donquixote Doflamingo?"

As he spoke, Saint Musgarud approached Yann, asking with a probing expression.

Yann hesitated for a moment, then shouted the slogan weakly, "For justice!"

"Hahaha, so I should thank you for helping me get revenge," said Saint Musgarud with a lewd smile.

"Back then, that bastard Doflamingo often bullied me because he was older than me. It's a pity that his foolish followers later abandoned their divine status and chose to fall into the mortal realm, eventually becoming pirates, a lowly profession. As a result, I have no way to take revenge on him."

Hearing this, Yann breathed a slight sigh of relief, but couldn't help but inwardly complain.

Both are named Don Quixote, but this one doesn't seem to have a very high IQ, and his physique is obviously overweight due to lack of exercise.

Whether in terms of intelligence and strategy, or in terms of physical strength and combat power, the two sides are clearly not on the same level.

If Doflamingo hadn't relinquished his Celestial Dragon status, he probably would have continued to bully the Musgard Holy Society all along.

However, when facing the Celestial Dragons, a privileged class, Yann did not say these words. Instead, he spoke calmly and humbly, like an upright Marine.

"Saint Musgard, there is no need for thanks. As a Marine, it is my duty to uphold justice and strike down the evil pirates on the high seas."

"Haha, well said."

Musgarud clapped his hands and said with a grin.

"The Five Elders originally demanded that I not kill you, and I was somewhat dissatisfied with that. But since you're so eloquent, I'll let you go, however..."

Musgarud's grin deepened, and he even poked Yann's bandaged chest as he spoke.

"How dare you, an ant, kill a member of the Don Quixote family? This makes me very unhappy. Do you think you'll dare to trespass on me someday?"

"Holy Lord Musgarud is joking."

As Yann answered calmly, he had already released his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings, calculating the risks of self-defense, killing the fat pig in front of him, and escaping if forced to do so.

"Haha, of course! I am a descendant of God, a Celestial Dragon. You ant are only fit to crawl on the ground and serve me. How dare you risk being a descendant of God?"

"And Doflamingo, that fool who willingly abandoned his identity and status and was even killed by the Navy, is simply a disgrace to the Donquixote Family."

While mocking Doflamingo, Saint Musgard looked down at Yann, who was lying on the cart, with disdain. He poured the glass of red wine in his hand onto Yann's face and said...

"Here you go, Captain Yann, as a reward for taking down my stupid cousin."

In an instant, the rich aroma of wine wafted into Arn's nostrils, and a stream of liquid poured into Arn's mouth and nose, causing him to cough repeatedly.

The thought that this drink might have been consumed by Musgarud Saint also filled Yann with nausea, and his anger rose uncontrollably.

[Chapter 154 Three Devil Fruits]

At this moment, Yann understood why Donquixote Musgard Saint had specifically wanted to see him: it was simply because he resented Doflamingo for bullying him during his childhood.

As the one who defeated Doflamingo, Musgard Saint transferred his desire for revenge onto Yann, wanting to get back at him for what happened back then.

The underlying logic is simply that Arn > Doflamingo, so if Saint Musgard can get revenge on Arn, then the order will become Saint Musgard > Arn > Doflamingo.

This childish and idiotic idea truly left Ya'en feeling incredibly helpless.

All I can say is, they truly are Celestial Dragons!

Unlike Ya'en, whose poor family background forced him to consider survival from a young age, and whose memories from his past life prevented him from having such naive thoughts for a long time.

"Cough cough cough..."

Having realized what was happening, Yan suppressed his anger and outwardly feigned a persistent, painful cough.

And under the manipulation of "Life Return", at this moment, Yann's eyes were bloodshot, in order to satisfy the vengeful pleasure of Saint Musgarud and end this naive and dangerous situation as soon as possible.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, Saint Musgard laughed even more exaggeratedly, clearly satisfied with his masterpiece and pleased with the disheveled appearance of Yann, who had defeated Doflamingo, under the power of a Celestial Dragon.

However, what Yann didn't notice was that his realistic performance, with each seemingly suffocating cough, struck Boa Hancock's heart like a heavy hammer.

Her concern and anxiety for Yann gradually overwhelmed Boa Hancock's deep-seated fear of the Celestial Dragons.

Finally, Boa Hancock, who had been kneeling respectfully on the ground, could no longer bear it and stood up.

However, to avoid provoking the Celestial Dragons' wrath, Hancock didn't dare stand up. Instead, she crawled on her knees, using her knees to approach Yann again and again, and then reached out to pat Yann's chest, trying to relieve Yann's pain.

Yann never expected that Hancock, who had a deep-seated fear of the Celestial Dragons and could even tremble with fear at the mere mention of their names, would act this way, daring to show concern for his condition in front of Saint Musgard.

'I'm going to be in trouble...'

As soon as Yann had a thought, he glanced at Saint Musgard and noticed that the man's previously unrestrained laughter was slowly subsiding, and his displeased gaze fell on Boa Hancock.

"boom!"

The next instant, Saint Musgard suddenly kicked Hancock, knocking the frail Boa Hancock to the ground, and said in a vicious tone.

"Slave, who gave you permission to stand up straight in front of me?"

Boa Hancock quickly rolled over and prostrated herself before Saint Musgarud, trembling as she spoke.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I... I was just ordered by the official to take care of him, so, so..."

"Oh?"

Musgarud raised an eyebrow, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "I've thought of a very interesting way to play."

"That guy..."

Saint Musgard pointed at Barak and said, "Go to the storeroom and take any three Devil Fruits."

"Yes."

Soon, Barak had three Devil Fruits in his hands – the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit, the Zoan-type Python Fruit, and the Zoan-type Cobra Fruit.

After carefully recalling the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia," Yann was able to identify the three Devil Fruits.

Immediately, Saint Musgard accepted the three Devil Fruits offered by Barak, which were worth a total of nearly one billion Berries, and then casually tossed them in front of Boa Hancock, giving the order.

"You three, eat it."

"Yes."

Faced with the Celestial Dragons' power, the three Boa sisters, as slaves, had no chance to resist and could only each take a Devil Fruit and eat it.

And just like in the original storyline, Boa Hancock ate the "Love-Love Fruit," Boa Sandersonia ate the "Python Fruit," and the youngest, Boa Marigold, ate the "Cobra Fruit."

"This is a Devil Fruit; eating it will grant you some interesting powers..."

Musgarud said with a look of amusement.

"Therefore, you three slaves shall use the power I have bestowed upon you to fight Captain Yern. If you can kill Captain Yern, it would not be unreasonable to grant you three slaves the status of commoners and allow you to live in Mary Geoise."

As soon as Musgarud said those words, the eyes of the three Boa sisters almost instinctively revealed longing and excitement.

free……

That's freedom!

Having spent more than three years as slaves in a dark and hopeless hell, the three Boa sisters supported and helped each other, all for the hope that one day they could regain their freedom.

And now, this dream I've been longing for day and night is right before my eyes!

The Celestial Dragons have already made their promise, and given their incomparably noble status, they disdain to lie.

However, as the three Boa sisters all glanced at Yann lying in the cart, hesitation crept into their eyes.

If the target were any other slave, the three Boa sisters would risk their lives without hesitation to seize the opportunity.

Even if she couldn't escape herself, she prayed that her sisters, who could create her, would have a chance to gain freedom.

but……

Sandersonia and Marigold looked at Boa Hancock with hesitant and conflicted eyes, waiting for their eldest sister to make a decision.

"I...I can't beat Yaen."

Boa Hancock, her voice trembling, did what she considered the most foolish thing—refusing the orders of the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles.

Mingming, agreeing is the wisest choice.

Even Boa Hancock only learned the man's name—Yaan—after hearing the title "Saint of Musgarud" at this moment.

Furthermore, Yann is still seriously injured. Relying on the combat skills passed down from ancient times in the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the three sisters may have a chance to win by cooperating with each other.

only……

Boa Hancock recalled the man's care for her and her two sisters: the delicious food, the funny jokes, and his gentle gaze.

She...can't do it!

Boa Hancock did not want to extinguish the only warm light that fell upon her in that dark and hopeless hell.

As Boa Hancock uttered her words, which were tantamount to a refusal, she was unsurprisingly met with the fury of Musgarud.

"You lowly slave, are you going to refuse the gifts of the great Prophet Musgalud?"

Musgarud glared at the three skinny ants before him as if he had offended a god.

[Chapter 155. Shouting until you're hoarse is useless]

"Slave, I'll say it again..."

Saint Musgard stared at the three Boa sisters lying on the ground before him and said, "Die, or attack Yann."

The three Boa sisters, their faces pale with fright, were trembling and remained silent.
