Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Even now, some soldiers still feel as if they are in a dream about that shocking scene.

"We have to thank Rear Admiral Sakura Dragon for this, don't we? It was a blow that will be remembered for a lifetime," a naval lieutenant commander remarked sincerely.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding naval soldiers couldn't help but show expressions of agreement, and then cast admiring glances in the direction of Yann.

However, Aeon had already skillfully demonstrated his weak and exhausted state, and was supported by Gion while his body was half-limp.

Of course, for the sake of her image, Aon did not give Gion the opportunity to use the embarrassing "princess carry" position as she had in the past.

After all, there are so many people outside, and Arn is now someone else's husband; it's inappropriate to do this.

So, despite his obvious weakness and exhaustion, Yann pretended to be fine and said...

"Gion, give me a room. I might need to rest for a while. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, you can leave it to me with confidence, Yann."

Gion quickly helped Aon to her room to rest, and after they came out, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This kind of scenario seems to have happened many times before, and I always end up having to handle the trivial matters.

However, Gion did not delve into such an unimportant matter and began to direct the navy to return to the port of the Kingdom of Alabasta for repairs.

In order to fight against the ancient weapon Pluton, both the losses on the naval warships and the mental state of the naval soldiers need to be adjusted.

In addition to the various statistics, summaries, and other matters that needed to be handled after the war, Gion, as the temporary commander of this naval fleet, still had a considerable amount of work to do.

As for Arn, who was resting in his room at the moment, there was naturally no reason for the Navy to disturb him.

Perhaps out of respect and concern that Arn might be disturbed, all the naval soldiers on the warship where Arn was now located were moving rather quietly.

However, in reality, Yann's true consciousness had already entered Baby-5's mental space.

“Baby-5, how is it? Has Tiger found you and King Cobra?” Yann asked directly.

“Yes, Lord Yann, baby-5 and King Cobra have been rescued, and Dragon has successfully completed the rendezvous,” baby-5 replied.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Yann finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Both Baby-5 and King Cobra, who harbors many secrets, are extremely important.

However, in the environment aboard the Pluto behemoth, surrounded by numerous powerful figures and with the World Government and high-ranking naval officials constantly watching, Yann dared not make any rash moves, and even Little Gold dared not let it get close.

In this situation, especially without the opportunity to communicate with King Cobra beforehand, Yann could only choose this rather safe method, allowing Baby-5 to use its "Void Devouring" ability to condense a layer of non-conductive steel on its body surface, protecting Baby-5 and King Cobra in a sphere.

Then, Tiger, who had been arranged in advance, retrieved the sphere containing Baby-5 and King Cobra from the sea.

Relieved, Yann then asked the question.

"Baby-5, how well do you know about the internal structure of the Pluto behemoth? Can you simulate it using your 'Weapon Fruit' ability?"

"Lord Yann, Baby-5 understands the internal structure of the Hades behemoth, but..."

baby-5 said somewhat shyly.

"Baby-5's stamina can't support the creation of such a large weapon. Baby-5 will probably be completely drained in no time."

"It's okay. I'm not making you bear pressure that you can't handle at this age. When you grow up, maybe your physical strength will be able to handle it..."

After a pause, Yann continued to comfort baby-5.

"Besides, the most important gain is the understanding of the structure inside the Pluto behemoth. Remember it well, and you'll understand how valuable this treasure is later."

Baby-5 listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, but she did understand that Arn needed her to memorize the internal structure of the Hades ship, and immediately nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Lord Arn."

"By the way, did Tiger manage to take that thing apart...?"

At this point, Yann probably knew that Baby-5 might not understand, so he simply said, "Alright, Baby-5, can I borrow your body for a bit?"

"Hmm? Lord Yan wants to use Baby-5's body? Sure, you can." Baby-5 answered without the slightest hesitation.

……

Inside a merchant ship that appeared ordinary on the outside but had been completely hollowed out and modified inside, the black iron ball that Baby-5 had transformed into slowly opened, restoring Baby-5's original size and appearance, and revealing the still dazed King Cobra inside.

"Huh??? Tiger, the iron ball we just retrieved... it turned into a girl?" Jinbe, who witnessed the whole process, said somewhat incoherently.

"What...what's going on?"

Not only was Tiger stunned, but even Dorag, who had never seen Baby-5 before, was a little confused.

Yone, who was controlling Baby-5's body, considered for a moment before speaking. "Let me introduce myself. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm 'Hollow Eater,' a member of the 'Hueco Mundo Organization.'"

"What? This girl is actually a member of Hueco Mundo?"

Jinbe said incredulously, completely lacking the calm and composed demeanor he usually displayed. "So, our real mission this time is actually to rescue this Hueco Mundo member?"

"Hmm, I guess so~"

Yann casually replied, his gaze sweeping around before settling on a jelly-like substance, roughly the size of a villa, placed inside the merchant ship.

'This... is this the place where King Cobra and Crocodile were inside the Pluto, the Pluto's 'control area'?'

'No, perhaps this entire area is the brain of the Pluto behemoth, and also an area that Baby-5, as a 'Weapon-Weapon Fruit' user, is completely unable to decipher or simulate.'

'Strange, isn't this entire mass of matter a "weapon"? Baby-5 can't interpret or simulate it at all.'

[Chapter 365 The Concept of "Class"]

"You...you all..."

Just as Yann was still using Baby-5's body to examine that special area belonging to Hades, King Cobra gradually came to his senses and asked a question.

"Who...who are you? What do you want?"

"Don't worry, King Cobra, we mean no harm."

As Ya'en spoke in the body of Baby-5, his words inexplicably created a sense of disharmony.

After all, Baby-5's appearance is merely that of a delicate and cute maid girl, making it difficult to inspire any sense of conviction.

King Cobra's gaze swept over the jelly-like substance, and his expression changed instantly as he asked a question.

"Pluto? What do you want to do to Pluto?"

Upon hearing this, Yann did not directly answer King Cobra, but instead spoke to Tiger and Jinbe, saying, "Thank you both for your hard work."

Tiger and Jinbe immediately understood, said their goodbyes, and then left the merchant ship underwater.

Immediately, Yann made a special gesture toward Dragon that they had agreed upon in the past.

Dorag immediately understood Baby-5's identity.

Perhaps more accurately, Dragon realized that the current Baby-5, like the old Corazon, now actually belonged to Yann.

'It seems that Yone holds a very high position within Hueco Mundo. It's one thing for him to accept Dragon, but the other members of Hueco Mundo actually agreed to borrow his body…'

'That makes sense, after all, Arn possesses the terrifying power of flames capable of evaporating the ocean, so it's normal for him to have a higher status than ordinary Hueco Mundo members.'

While making his own assessment, Dorrag introduced himself with a solemn and dignified expression.

"Your Majesty King Cobra of Alabasta, my name is Dorag, leader of the Revolutionary Army."

"Dorag? The Revolutionary Army?" King Cobra slowly stood up from the ground, his brows furrowed as he recalled information about the two names.

However, unlike in the original timeline where the Revolutionary Army was defined by the World Government as an "evil organization intending to overthrow the sea" and Dragon was defined as "the world's most vicious criminal," this time the Revolutionary Army was defined by the World Government as an "evil organization intending to overthrow the sea" and Dragon was defined as "the world's most vicious criminal."

In recent years, the emergence of Hueco Mundo has completely attracted the attention of the World Government, so the Revolutionary Army, an organization that is ideologically dangerous to the World Government, has not yet been taken seriously.

Therefore, even though the Revolutionary Army has begun to take root in every corner of the ocean, even Cobra, the king of a member state of the World Government, has not yet paid attention to the names Dragon and the Revolutionary Army.

"Is it a pirate crew? Or some newly formed organization?" King Cobra asked.

Understanding that speaking in Baby-5's body lacked credibility, Yann didn't interrupt. Instead, Dorag laughed heartily and spoke.

"Haha, indeed by the standards set by the Chief of Staff of the organization, the Revolutionary Army can only be considered a newly established small organization. I hope King Cobra will not laugh at us."

"So what is your purpose in seeking me out? And... Hades?"

Finally, King Cobra's gaze fell once more on the large, jelly-like mass, his tone solemn and tinged with a sense of resignation.

“Uh, King Cobra may have misunderstood something. We received a request for help from a comrade, which is why we rescued King Cobra,” Dragon replied.

"Who?" King Cobra asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That comrade... his name is Yasuo..."

Hearing Dragon's words, which were filled with complex emotions, Yann couldn't help but glance at him slightly.

This guy, Dorag, has really improved a lot since before. He can actually hold back his laughter and show such a rich range of emotions.

Upon hearing the name "Yaso," King Cobra couldn't help but show a look of guilt.

After all, both the Kingdom of Alabasta and the Nefertari family owed a great debt of gratitude to the man who gave his life.

"Alas, it's my fault for not arriving in time after receiving Comrade Yaso's plea for help. I could only follow his last wish and rescue King Kobra," Dorrag said with a sorrowful expression.

"Yasuo, that man, no, that hero, what was his last wish?" King Cobra's voice trembled slightly.

"Yasuo, he..."

Dorag raised his head slightly, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes on his fierce face as he spoke.

"They believe the Nefertari family will endorse the organization's ideology and earnestly request the organization to do everything in its power to protect the Nefertari family."

"That man, even in death, was still thinking about and fighting for the organization's common ideals, always adhering to his own swordsmanship philosophy, and generously giving his life to save others."

"His life was fulfilling and satisfying, free from base desires, unstoppable, and... joyful!"

These deeply moving words thoroughly touched King Cobra, who was overwhelmed with guilt and emotion.

As for Yann, he couldn't help but give Dragon a deep look.

These words were not taught to Dorag by Yann.

Based on Yann's understanding of Dragon, he shouldn't be the kind of man who could organize such words so well in a short time.

Was this a speech that Dorlag had prepared for me a long time ago, and it just happened to be used ahead of schedule?

What a true brother...

A hint of ferocity flashed in baby-5's adorable eyes. He thought he should perhaps start planning how to arrange Dorrag's funeral in advance, so as not to be caught off guard when he needed it.

“Yarn, he is a hero, a hero who will be forever remembered by the Kingdom of Alabasta.”
