Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Law, what about Devil Fruits? We want to use the abilities of Zoan-type Devil Fruits to enhance the physique and vitality of these two little ones."

"It's worth a try!" Luo's eyes lit up immediately.

While Little Gold's castle may have had everything else, it just so happens that no Devil Fruits could have survived, as they were mostly absorbed by Yann.

Fortunately, since Law's research on living organisms also involved Zoan-type Devil Fruits, a certain number of Zoan-type Devil Fruits were still preserved in the laboratory.

Soon, Law retrieved the two Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

At this moment, Yann didn't care what abilities the two Zoan-type Devil Fruits had. He directly had Law use a scalpel to cut off a small piece of the fruit's flesh and stuff it into the mouth of the little one in Robin's arms.

In an instant, everyone in the delivery room focused their attention on the little one, observing the changes in his body.

However... the little one's physical breakdown showed no signs of stopping...

"How could this be? Why hasn't anything changed at all?"

Luo asked, puzzled.

"Logically speaking, even eating just a little bit of the fruit should have the same effect as eating the entire Devil Fruit. Why does this little guy not seem to have become a Devil Fruit user yet?"

Ayan's gaze shifted, and a vague guess began to form in his mind.

Could it be... that these two little ones, like me, are also unable to become Devil Fruit users?

The next moment, the Zanpakuto in Arn's hand sliced ​​across the Devil Fruit that had been slightly cut, causing Arn's face to darken instantly.

The Zanpakuto successfully absorbed the energy of the Devil Fruit, which means that the little guy never became a Devil Fruit user, otherwise the Zanpakuto wouldn't have been able to absorb the energy.

However, Yann still clung to a last glimmer of hope and stuffed a tiny bit of the other Devil Fruit's flesh into the mouth of the little guy in Hancock's arms.

And then... the result was exactly the same.

“There’s no need to try. These two little ones have special constitutions and can’t become Devil Fruit users.” Yann’s expression twitched slightly as he sighed.

In an instant, the glimmer of hope that had just appeared on Hancock and Robin's faces completely darkened, and tears streamed down their cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto the two little ones.

"Awoo~"

"Uh-huh~"

The two little ones also made noises unconsciously, and their bodies curled up even more.

[Chapter 391. A Desperate Success Rate]

Clearly, even though the two little ones' five senses had been completely hypnotized by the "illusion," and they couldn't feel any discomfort or pain, their constantly collapsing bodily instincts made them subconsciously want to curl up to get their mother's protection.

This scene brought tears to Hancock and Robin's eyes.

As for Yann, he felt that the scene in front of him, apart from silence, was nothing but a suffocating feeling of extreme pain.

I can't do anything...

Yaen gripped the hilt of the Zanpakuto at his waist tightly, his heart filled with complex and unbearable pain, and could only ask with trembling lips.

"Law, besides Devil Fruits, are there any other feasible methods?"

Silence fell over the delivery room, and Luo's brows were furrowed tightly.

After a moment, Luo answered softly, "Lord Yann, there is indeed a method, but this method is..."

Seeing Ron's hesitant manner, Yarne couldn't help but press him for an answer. "What is it?!"

“'Bloodline factor'…”

In the end, Luo did speak up, but his expression remained full of hesitation and uncertainty.

"In theory, modifying the 'lineage factor' can cause all sorts of changes in the human body, but there is no feasible way to solve the problem of these two little guys."

However, seeing Rona's hesitant manner, Yann understood that things were clearly not that simple, so he asked directly, "What are the chances of it going smoothly?"

Luo spoke with a hint of self-reproach in his voice.

"Given the current progress of the laboratory's research on 'bloodline factors,' the success rate of successfully and stably modifying 'bloodline factors' and resolving the problems of these two individuals is about 10%. However, there is a high probability that there will be unknown side effects in the future."

"Success rate...is that all?" Yann asked, his brows furrowed deeply.

A success rate of ten percent is an incredibly low probability.

After all, this isn't some gacha game; a drop rate of 1% is already incredibly high, making it a truly generous offering.

To be more precise, the current situation is almost equivalent to holding a revolver with five bullets in its magazine to the heads of these two little ones.

Then, he pulled the trigger on the two little ones, betting that the shot would hit the magazine when it was empty.

At this point, it seems that only two choices remain for Yann: either completely modify the bodies of these two little ones mechanically, or risk strengthening their bodies through "bloodline factors".

This was the most difficult choice that Yaen, who was always decisive, had ever made in his life.

Choosing either one is incredibly difficult.

"Lord Yern, the laboratory's research on 'bloodline factors' has only just begun. We haven't even had time to further interpret 'bloodline factors,' let alone develop a 'bloodline factor' sequence that can be stably modified..."

At this point, Luo took a deep breath and said.

"A 10% success rate already includes the ability of 'Evil Consort' and 'Operation Fruit' to save their lives. The success rate of successfully modifying 'bloodline factors' without leaving any sequelae is probably less than 1%."

One percent?!

This success rate is breathtaking.

However, upon hearing a certain keyword that Luo had just mentioned, Yaen's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "'Bloodline Factor' series?!"

Immediately, Yann spoke excitedly, "Luo, if we could provide you with a stable 'bloodline factor' sequence, wouldn't the success rate increase significantly?"

Luo nodded, speaking with certainty, "If there is such a 'bloodline factor' sequence, and it applies to these two little ones, I am 100% confident that I can save their lives."

Immediately, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on Yann's face.

"it is good!"

While wondering about Yann's reaction, Luo couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Lord Yann, if such a 'bloodline factor' sequence really exists, please provide it as soon as possible. After all, even with the 'Evil Consort's' ability to modify the 'bloodline factor,' it would take at least half an hour."

Two people, each needing half an hour?

That means there are only two hours?!

Immediately, Yann's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

In other words, Yann must obtain the "bloodline factor" sequence within two hours?

Even if Yann knew how to obtain a "bloodline factor" sequence that could enhance physical strength, it would be absolutely impossible to make it in just two hours.

We must...buy time!

Sweat poured from Yann's forehead at a visible rate, his mind racing as he desperately tried to think of a way to buy time.

We can already see a glimmer of hope, how can we just watch it slip away?!

There will definitely be a way to prevent these two little ones' bodies from collapsing before I obtain the "bloodline factor" sequence.

Zanpakuto? Kido? Devil Fruit power?

There must be a way to temporarily stop these two little ones from being distracted.

Even just a few days would be fine...

Just then, Yann's gaze shifted, and he suddenly thought of something, exclaiming with delight, "Hancock, petrification! Your petrification ability!"

"What?" Hancock was slightly taken aback.

"Use your 'Sweet-Sweet Fruit' ability to petrify these two little ones first. If they are petrified, all their bodily functions should temporarily stop," Yann said urgently.

Hancock's beautiful eyes widened as she finally realized what was happening, and a smile of surprise and delight bloomed on her tear-streaked face.

Subsequently, by altering the hypnotic power of "Mirror Flower Water Moon," Yann temporarily restored the two little ones' senses, except for the sense of pain.

In an instant, the two little ones, each held in their mother's arms, slowly opened their eyes. Their two pairs of clear brown eyes slowly turned, and as they took their first serious look at this new world, Yann's face was the first thing they saw.

"Eeya, eeya~"

Two incoherent cries rang out simultaneously from the two little ones, producing sounds that were difficult to understand.

'They're probably... calling me...'

Yaen blinked, and a warm smile involuntarily appeared on his originally heavy face, but the next moment that smile turned into waves of heart-wrenching pain.

"I'm sorry, my children, you may need to get some more sleep, but soon... your father will wake you up, and he will make sure you embrace this wonderful world..."

"Absolutely! Even at any cost!!!" Yann murmured.

[Chapter 392. Emptiness and Firefly]

"Eeya~ Eeya~"

Listening to Yann's voice, which was firm yet contained a unique gentleness, the two little ones continued to make incomprehensible noises.

"Sweetie, go back to sleep..." Yann said softly.

As for Hancock and Robin, seeing this scene, they couldn't help but turn their heads slightly, trying hard to suppress the urge to cry, so that the two little ones wouldn't see their ugly appearance in the end.

"Brother Yan, let's give the child a name first. Even if we fail in the end, at least we can leave a mark on this sea that belongs to them," Robin said, his voice choked with emotion.

"A name?"

Yann pursed his lips tightly, looking at the two little ones in front of him who were still trying to grab his fingers with their tiny hands.

"Let's name the brother Kong and the sister Ying. I hope their journey will never end and that they can cross the stars and the sea."

"null?"

Robin looked down at Sora in her arms and couldn't help but whisper, "Did you hear that, baby? Your name is Sora. You must remember it."

Hancock tightened her embrace around the baby, her voice gentle as she said, "Firefly, what a beautiful and tender name."

"Eeya~ giggle~"

In an instant, as if sensing their mother's tenderness and blessing, Sora and Ying laughed. Their smiles were exceptionally pure and infectious, even dispelling much of the gloom in Arn's heart.

As he laughed, Yann's glasses inexplicably fogged up, and he muttered to himself, "What two silly little idiots..."

"call……"

Immediately, Yann took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions. Seeing the increasingly obvious signs of physical collapse on Sora and Ying, he dared not hesitate any longer and directly had Hancock use the power of the "Love-Love Fruit".

Despite her eyes being filled with reluctance and sorrow, Hancock gritted her teeth and activated the power of the "Love-Love Fruit" with red eyes.
