Chapter 599: The Birth of MonstersMr. 3 can use wax to solidify into a key to unlock handcuffs and prison cells.Similarly, Inazuma's Scissor-Scissor devil fruitallows him to transform into small scissors to pick locks, which requires a bit of personal strength.With Inazuma picking the locks, Ace and Mr. 2 Bon Clay got out of their cells, and Count Red also regained his freedom.However, when Inazuma helped Bullet unlock his handcuffs, Bullet grabbed him with one hand.Almost at the same instant.Ivankov immediately gave Bullet a "DEATH WINK!"A blast of wind flew over, but Bullet merely punched it away. When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Satoru was seen holding an ice blade, squatting on Bullet's shoulders, with the ice blade pressed against Bullet's neck. (Bullet is 5.1 meters tall.)The smile was gone from Satoru's face, replaced by coldness, "Is Senior going back on his word?"Bullet was very satisfied with Satoru's speed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. With this strength, he was indeed qualified to cooperate with him.But he didn't know that Satoru was able to do this because it was Xiao Bai controlling the body at that moment."Going back on your word?""Trust is ridiculous!!""However, now is not the time to fight with you all.""I'll come find you after we get out, kid, you... are very good."Bullet's words were easily misunderstood, but he meant that he was interested in Satoru's speed at his age.After speaking, he released the hand that was gripping Inazuma's head."That's what you say.""Let's talk about it after we get out, Senior."Since Bullet released Inazuma, although displeased, now was not the time to conflict with him. Satoru's ice blade melted into water, and he pushed off with his feet, leaving Bullet's shoulders."Then...""Wait!!"Satoru wanted to continue, but Jinbe suddenly interrupted.Jinbe's inner thought was that he finally found an opening to speak."Please!! Take me out with you!!""I will definitely help!!""We've known each other since Brother Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and he told me a lot about his younger brother...""I was imprisoned for opposing this war!!""Father Whitebeard has shown immense kindness to our Fish-Man Island, please let me go with Ace!! Please!!!"Facing Jinbe's words.Ivankov said, "Another big shot."Ace was very moved beside him, not expecting Jinbeto take such a big risk for him.And Satoru looked at Jinbe's serious face, really feeling a bit like laughing in his heart. He originally wanted to ask Jinbe if he wanted to come along. Satoru naturally knew that this blue fat Fishman was not a bad person, and he truly deserved the title of Knight of the Sea."Hmm, I know you, Jinbe. When Ace and I reunited, he mentioned you."Ace beside him: Huh? Did I say that?"Let him out, Inazuma.""I know his character, it's much better than some others.""Thank you very much!!!"Jinbe expressed his heartfelt gratitude."Oh!!! Then we are also very grateful!!""Please!!!"The prisoners nearby started to chime in again. It was the same old saying, if they could get out, what was dignity?"Shut up! DEATH WINK!!"Ivankov continued to give them a Death Wink.Inazuma released Jinbe."Then..."Satoru said"Wait, if you want to get out of here, I can open a hole in the ceiling.""How about it... Satoru."The one who interrupted this time was naturally the old friend Crocodile."I thought you could hold your breath, old friend."Satoru replied.Crocodile's eyes looked as if he was glaring."Being friends with you is a terrible thing.""Hold your breath? You're right, I thought there was no point in getting out, but I heard that Whitebeardis going to war with the Marines, which is the best opportunity to get rid of that bastard old man of yours.""I'm very interested in this war, and my abilities can help you escape from here.""It's a good idea, isn't it? It benefits both of us, just as you said, win-win cooperation."Satoru couldn't help but laugh at Crocodile's words."Oh my, listen to how pale your words are, you Sand Crocodile.""Who here can't make a hole in the ceiling?"Mr. 2 Bon Clay: "I can't."Other Okama who chimed in: "Neither can we."Satoru: "..."Are you trying to undermine your own people?!Satoru complained in his heart.Suddenly he realized again! Who are these Okamato be his own people?! I take it back!!!Satoru ignored Mr. 2 Bon Clay and the Okama's words, "Anyway, you should know that making a hole in the ceiling is not difficult for us."Crocodile was choked into silence.But Satoru suddenly changed the subject."However, I can let you out, but you must follow me and go together when the war begins. I don't care what your purpose is in that war, but you must help rescue Ace."Satoru's words made Crocodile's face contort in rage."What do you take me for?! Your subordinate?! What right do you have!?"Crocodile was agitated, but Satoru wasn't, "So, you don't agree."Looking at Satoru's smile, Crocodile instead calmed down and replied with a smile, "I agree."Satoru knew from his smile that this guy didn't intend to keep his promise after getting out."You agree.""Then should I trust... him? Sister Ivankov.""Hehehe, he's not a trustworthy person, but I'll make him keep his promise."Ivankov put her hands on her hips and walked forward, looking at Crocodile."Long time no see, Crocodile-boy."Facing Ivankov's greeting, Crocodile's face was ferocious, even more so than before, gritting his teeth as if they were about to shatter."Ivankov!!!"At this moment, Satoru said dramatically."Oh, do you two know each other?""Hehehe, that was a long time ago, he was still a rookie back then. Inazuma, let him out.""Although he's untrustworthy, I have ways to make him obedient. I think you'll be obedient yourself, won't you, Crocodile-boy."Inazuma firmly believed Ivankov's words and immediately went to release Crocodile.Although Crocodile was released, he looked at Ivankov with eyes that wanted to devour him.Satoru watched from the side, truly curious if the secret Ivankov held over Crocodile was really that Crocodile used to be a woman and asked Ivankov to turn him into a man?Although curious, Satoru didn't ask. Besides, if he were to ask, it would have to be when Crocodilewasn't around. He was afraid that if Ivankov told him, Crocodile would probably fight him to the death.
Chapter 600: UnprecedentedBefore and after, Count Red, Bullet, Jinbe, and Sir Crocodile were all released.It was truly the emergence of monsters.The four of them were no ordinary individuals.No need to mention the first two; figures who made a name for themselves in the previous era, how could they be weak?As for the remaining two.One pirate was like One-Punch Man, knocking a Four Emperor off their ship with a single punch.The other pirate was like a balanced fighter, able to exchange blows with anyone... With Crocodile also released, the great escape army was finally assembled.Satoru once again, "So...""Wait!!""Please, Mr. Crocodile, make a hole in the ceiling.""No, didn't I say 'wait'?!"The prisoner was very surprised. Was 'wait' not a command? Could one get a chance to speak just by shouting it? Why was he ignored? Why!!!Although Crocodile was annoyed by Satoru's tone, his lower body turned to sand, and he flew up, placing his right hand on the ceiling, corroding a hole through it. He then flew up further until the hole penetrated to the ground of LEVEL5.Lightning also began to cut the ground, creating a spiral staircase that connected to the hole in the ceiling, extending all the way up.And so, everything was ready."Wait!!""Wait!!!"Seeing this scene, the prisoners became even more restless, shouting at the top of their lungs.Satoru ignored them all, being the first to run up the stairs and leave LEVEL6.He left, and at the same time, took away the hope that these prisoners had desperately begged for.Ace, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Jinbe, and Ivankov followed closely behind Satoru.Count Red elegantly strolled up.Bullet couldn't stand his demeanor. After mocking him a few times, he directly kicked off with both feet, smashing a hole in the ceiling with a punch, then continuously charged upward until he completely broke through. His speed allowed him to arrive at LEVEL5 at the same time as Satoru, who was the first to run up the stairs... The two who arrived first at LEVEL5 looked at each other.It was impossible for Bullet to speak first.Only Satoru, this social terrorist, spoke."You're quite fast, Senior."Bullet responded with a cold expression.He immediately turned and ran; he didn't want to wait for anyone."Senior, do you know the way? This big~~~ prison is a bit large, you know. You can't just keep going up like before, because above is a blood pool, and you'll get a 'chilling' shower."Satoru's words successfully made Bullet stop. He didn't know why, but even though Satoru was clearly reminding him, it felt really annoying.In a short while, everyone arrived at LEVEL5.Ivankov put his hands on his hips and said, "Do we need a plan?""The plan is, we need a..."Satoru preempted Ivankov, saying, "The plan is, even if we reach the surface of the sea, the biggest problem is the Calm Belt on all four sides. We need a warship.""That's right.""Then, to seize a warship, we need numbers...""No need. Just protect yourselves. We have a way to get a warship.""Nor do we need to release prisoners to cause a riot."Saying that, Satoru revealed a confident smile."With our lineup, let alone one Magellan, what if there were two?""I agree with that. What is Magellan? Hahahahaha!!!"These were Bullet's words.Haki is superior to devil fruits. Bullet's Armament Haki can be materialized and released like waves.During his years of imprisonment, even when affected by Magellan's poison, he was fine without an antidote, directly resisting it with Armament Haki.Ivankov: "..."Ivankov thought to himself, Satoru boy, you're saying all my lines!!"What's wrong, Sister Ivankov?""Nothing, you weren't cute at all for that instant, but it's passed now, so the plan is confirmed!! Let's charge!!"Satoru returned a smile, "We have no choice but to charge!"..."Pirate Heart Sisters, corrected by the Warden, it's Pirate Copy cat Satoru!""Pirate Copy cat Satoru has escaped again. According to statements from LEVEL5 prisoners, he seems to have also found the missing prisoner Ivankov. Lightning is an accomplice, leading a large group of Okama and prison wolves to attack LEVEL6.""But the above is only speculation. All surveillance footage from LEVEL6 has disappeared, so it cannot be confirmed.""Vice-Warden Hannybal has ordered LEVEL6 to be sealed and sleep gas to be released. Now, Jailers are leading prison cannons (Sea Stone nets) to apprehend them."The above was the report from the surveillance room Jailer after Magellan emerged from the restroom and called back on a den den mushi.The more Magellan listened, the wider his eyes grew, thinking, 'This is impossible?! How could Copy cat Satoru break free from seastone handcuffs?! As a Devil Fruit user!! Does he have a shrinking ability, not a Devil Fruit ability?!!'Magellan couldn't figure it out, and at the same time, the Jailers sent to LEVEL6 to capture them also reported back.They had reached LEVEL6 but only saw a hole in the ceiling and a spiral stone staircase connecting to it.They then said to quickly search to see if Satoru and the others were still there.Shiliew, who had been silent since Satoru's escape and return, finally spoke up.He was imprisoned in LEVEL6 by Magellan for constantly slaughtering prisoners.Although slaughtering prisoners referred to those on LEVEL4 and below; he couldn't casually slaughter those above LEVEL4."What kind of fool makes a hole and doesn't run, you idiots.""Shi... Shiliew Chief Guard!!""See? Without me, you can't do anything.""Look at the mess you've made.""Impel Down has been disgraced.""Not only Copy cat Satoru, Ivankov, and Lightning escaped, but also Knight of the Sea Jinbe, Sir Crocodile, Count Red, and Bullet.""What a wonderful lineup."The Jailers swallowed their saliva. Knowing Shiliew's personality, they ignored him and transmitted the message to the surveillance room.Shiliew wasn't in a hurry. He waited for the Jailers to finish speaking, then said with a smile, "Immediately report to Magellan that I will assist in the capture."Inside his office, Magellan heard everything clearly through the sound transmitted from the surveillance room's den den mushi to his own reporting den den mushi.Especially the list of escapees Shiliew mentioned, which made his brows furrow more and more, feeling as if his heart was exhausted to death.Such a large-scale prison break was unprecedented for Impel Down.If they escaped, this great prison, known as an impregnable fortress, would become a laughingstock.
Chapter 601: Truly a Mutual Rush"Alas..."Magellan sighed. The list of escapees Shiliewmentioned was truly terrifying. Even if he pursued them, he might not be able to recapture the prisoners, but regardless, he had to pursue them!"Release him."Feeling that things had escalated drastically, Magellan issued the order to release Shiliew.Although Shiliew killed prisoners and even Jailers, he was still technically part of the prison staff, and his combat power could be very useful.But he never expected this order would lead to deep regret later on.Putting down the den den mushi, he felt the pain in his stomach, but this time Magellan did not go to the restroom. Instead, he resolutely walked out of his office... On the LEVEL 6 side, the Jailers received Magellan's order and naturally prepared to execute it and release Shiliew.Suddenly, a chill invaded their backs. Countless pairs of red eyes opened in the darkness—it was the "gift" Satoru had left behind: a large number of War Wolves."Ah!!""War Wolves!! It's the War Wolves!!"The War Wolves surged from behind, and the Jailers at the very end were the first to be attacked.The roars of beasts, the sounds of tearing, the wails of the Jailers, and the deafening sound of Bullets echoed throughout LEVEL 6.The prisoners had just lost their chance to escape and seemed a bit dejected. Otherwise, they would have been excited to see the Jailers being torn apart. However, some prisoners vented their frustration by shouting, "Bite them!! Kill them all by biting!!""Dog eat dog, hahahaha!!!"Shiliew watched the scene with indifference.Until the foremost Jailer opened his cell and returned his beloved sword, "Raiu," to him.Only then did a reaction appear on Shiliew's face.Drawing the blade, Shiliew sighed, "A nostalgic feeling.""Chief Guard!!""There are too many War Wolves!! Please intervene!!"The Jailer who had opened Shiliew's cell pleaded.The massive War Wolf Army kept surging from the rear; they couldn't hold on much longer.Facing the Jailer's plea, Shiliew smiled."Alright."A flash of light from the sword, and Shiliew stepped out of the cell. The Jailer standing in front of the cell behind him instantly spurted scarlet blood from his chest and fell straight down, his blood staining the floor red."You crave blood, don't you, old friend?""Me too!"The "old friend" Shiliew spoke of was Raiu in his hand. As he released his murderous aura, the War Wolves were terrified, their tails drooping and tucked tightly.Sword lights flashed continuously, blood splattered, and not an inch of the floor was clean—everything was scarlet.Standing amidst the corpses of War Wolves and Jailers, Shiliew's eyes seemed to shine with red light... "Stop!!"The exit of the staircase leading from LEVEL 5 to LEVEL 4—the large door—was corroded and dissolved by Crocodile.Behind the door, a large number of Jailers were visible."Stop!! You are surrounded!!"The Jailers shouted, but their numbers seemed fewer than Satoru's group."This is LEVEL 4! The prisoners who escaped from LEVEL 6 have appeared here, and we are about to engage!!"The Jailers reported to the Central Control Monitoring Room.Hannybal felt like his head was splitting. From the moment he heard the list of escapees mentioned by Shiliew, he felt that it was over."Fire!!!"The Jailer Captain gave the order, and countless Bullets flew toward Satoru's group.However, in the Pirate World, the chance of a Bulletkilling someone is very small."Bullets?""Not bad."Bullet said. The next second, Armament Hakierupted. The purple Armament Haki rolled out like a wave, intercepting all the incoming Bullets and then blasting the Jailers away.In just a few seconds, the Jailers blocking their path were cleared."Ah..."The Okama gaped. Bullet's application of Armament Haki was unheard of—Armament Hakicould actually be released like a wave?!Not just the Okama, but Satoru, Ace, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Ivankov, Inazuma, Jinbe, Crocodile, and Count Red all acknowledged and feared this move by Bullet.This Armament Haki must be considered top-tier; perhaps only a handful of people in the world today could match it.Satoru sighed internally, thinking it was a pity. If his Replication Fruit could be used right now to copy this top-tier Armament Haki, that would be wonderful."As expected of Senior Bullet, that was powerful.""The obstruction is gone, let's keep moving."Satoru and the others continued their escape, heading toward the staircase leading to LEVEL 3. Along the way, Crocodile specifically went to release his subordinate, Mr. 1.His excuse was that they were escaping and their fighting force was slightly insufficient.Bullet, Count Red: Hmm?Mr. 1's reply was, "If it is your invitation, then I shall accompany you."Truly a mutual rush.At the same time.The riot in LEVEL 2 caused by Buggy and Mr. 3 was quelled by Sadi leading the Jailer Beasts and a few Blue Gorillas (most of which had been stunned and controlled by Satoru, then knocked out by the JailerBeasts).However, by the time Sadi and her group reached LEVEL 3, preparing to go to LEVEL 4 for support, the prisoners in LEVEL 2 escaped again, causing another riot."What the hell?!""How did those mongrels get out?!"Sadi was so angry she swore.The reason the prisoners were able to get out again was that Buggy and Mr. 3, hiding in the shadows, saw Sadi's group leave and used the Candle Key made by Mr. 3 to open the cells once more.Having no choice, Sadi could only go down again to quell the riot... "The LEVEL 6 escapees, led by the pirate Copy cat Satoru, are leading a large force and have begun charging toward LEVEL 3!! We need backup!!""LEVEL 2 is rioting again, we need backup!!!"Hannybal, in the Monitoring Room, listened to the constant cries for help coming through the den den mushi and felt his head was about to explode. LEVEL 4 and LEVEL 2—they were truly on fire from top to bottom!!! And Magellan was unreachable!!!However, the chaos wasn't limited to just Impel Down... Marineford.A Soldier anxiously rushed in, pushing open Sengoku's office door to report the news.Garp being there didn't matter; Garp's status in the Marines goes without saying."Reporting, Fleet Admiral!""An unauthorized Marine Ship has now arrived at Impel Hell!!""Coupled with the disappearance of the ShichibukaiBlackbeard's whereabouts, it's possible..."Sengoku's expression froze. He knew Blackbeard's goal in becoming a Shichibukai wasn't simple, but he never expected him to go to Impel Hell?!Impel Hell is likely to become a total mess now!!...Impel Hell, the Surface Level of Impel Down.A foot stepped onto the wooden bridge leading to the prison, followed by the sound of "Zehahahahaha" laughter.
Chapter 602: Let's Go Eat Grilled Mochi"Zehahaha!!!"Stepping onto the entrance wooden bridge of Impel Down, Blackbeard felt one step closer to his dream and was very excited."Please wait! We did not request backup!""We are currently in extraordinary times, so please forgive me for being unable to take responsibility.""We are currently requesting confirmation from Headquarters!!!"The Jailers guarding the wooden bridge blocked the path of the Blackbeard Pirates.The prison was already sealed. Unless Sengoku or Magellan gave the order, it could not be opened.Blackbeard's response to this was, "Do whatever you want. Aren't we on the same side?""But! Pirates are fundamentally not allowed... inside this prison!!""Eh?""Eh?!"Just as they finished speaking, the Jailers felt their feet sink, and darkness slowly swallowed them."Waaahhhh!!!!"The darkness spread out from beneath Blackbeard's feet. He watched the Jailers sink and replied with a smile."Don't be so polite. I'm on the side of the Government!""Zehahahaha!!!"On the warship behind him, Soldiers checked the warship Blackbeard was using and reported back to Headquarters with surprise and anger."Report!! The Marines on the warship Blackbeardwas riding have been completely wiped out!"The Soldiers also stepped onto the wooden bridge, raising their guns and shouting."Stop!!"Blackbeard did not hesitate at all."Liberation!!"Large amounts of black smoke extended from behind him, and the Jailers who had just disappeared, along with large chunks of rubble, were hurled back towards the Marines behind him."It's the Jailers who just disappeared!!"The agile Marines dodged, while the slow ones were buried.The Jailers who reappeared were tattered and bleeding from their orifices. They spoke in fear and terror, saying, "Darkness!! We were trapped in darkness!! Our bodies felt like they were being gnawed away!!!"With his objective in mind, Blackbeard entered Impel Down.The Jailers on Level 1 immediately reported to the Monitoring Room."The intruder is the Seven Warlords of the Sea[Blackbeard], Marshall D. Teach! And his companions!!""They have invaded the prison interior with clear hostility, and their objective is still unclear!!!""Requesting instructions... Uwah!! Doo doo doo..."The 'doo doo' sound indicated the den den mushiconnection was cut, and the 'Uwah' scream meant the Jailer making the call was likely doomed.Hannybal in the Monitoring Room listened to the report, completely overwhelmed, and started foaming at the mouth."Vice Warden! Please pull yourself together!!""Level 4 has Copy cat Satoru, Level 2 has a riot, and Level 1's main entrance has the Shichibukai, Blackbeard...""How am I supposed to... deal with this situation!!!""Let's go eat grilled mochi."Hannybal suddenly returned to normal and spoke with a serious expression.Given the current situation, he figured he might as well give up, eat grilled mochi, and wait to die. In short, he was done.The shocked Jailer's eyes bulged out, shattering the lenses of their glasses."Please pull yourself together!!""You must defend Impel Hell!!!"People inside Impel Down generally refer to it as Impel Hell."Easy for you to say, you don't have to bear the responsibility!!"Hannybal replied. He used to look forward to the position of Warden so much, but now he felt that the Warden's responsibility was immense.Just as Hannybal was hesitating, the den den mushirang again."Buru buru~ Buru buru~"A Jailer answered the den den mushi, putting it on speaker. Magellan's voice came through."Hello, hello, can you hear me? Hannybal.""Ah!! Warden Magellan!!! You finally contacted us!!! Where are you??!!"Hannybal, who used to scheme to usurp the position, now missed Magellan dearly."I'm on Level 2, just finished dealing with the rioting brats.""The entrances on this level are also blocked; they will soon be subdued.""Blackbeard's objective for the surprise attack is still unclear. I will go and stop him.""The prisoners on Level 4, you... must find a way to stall them for some time!""Only a little time is needed!!""We can no longer rely on the Marines; we must quell the rebellion ourselves.""I'm counting on you for Level 4!""Doo doo doo..."After speaking, Magellan hung up the den den mushi.Hannybal, suddenly receiving such great trust, was so excited he started dancing, "Ah!!! Warden!! Warden!! Warden!!!"The Jailer behind him couldn't help but complain."Hurry up and depart."..."The Guard Room has been breached!!""The prisoners have reached the Bridge of Scorching Heat!!""It's Saldeath, the Chief Jailer!!""And the Jailer Beasts!! Miss Sadi!!""That's great, we're saved!!"With Sadi and Saldeath, two high-ranking officials, arriving, the Level 4 Jailers felt saved.However, facing Satoru and his lineup, even Magellan himself wouldn't be enough, let alone these two.Moreover, Saldeath was a commander without troops; he didn't dare use the Blue Gorillas, lest Satoru make them defect again."Go, my children!!"Sadi ordered the Jailer Beasts to block the way."Waaahhhh!!!!"The Okama who were previously attacking the Jailers were instantly smashed back, turning into bloody messes or falling into the Blood Pool below.But no one grieved for them.Just as Ivankov said, this was a high-mortality operation, and they had to be ready to die at any moment."Ah~ What a pleasing sound of anguish~~"Sadi was purely a major Sadist."Cannon fire is ineffective against them!!!"The Okama ran while collecting weapons, but cannonballs hitting the Jailer Beasts were like tickles.The Jailer Beasts continued to advance."A compassionate person who has lost their humanity."Facing three Jailer Beasts, Count Red held a retrieved longsword, flashed past them instantly, and arrived behind them, pressing the sword tip vertically against the ground, his hands resting on the hilt.The instant the sword tip touched the ground, the abdomens of the three Jailer Beasts simultaneously split open, gushing blood, and they collapsed.Count Red stood in front, his hair fluttering in the wind. He looked as if he wasn't wearing a prison uniform, possessing nine parts elegance out of ten."Yaa!! Aaaahhhhh!!!!"Instantly killed in one move, Sadi was so scared her face became a dramatic expression."The Jailer Beasts have fallen!!""Charge forward!!"Seeing the three Jailer Beasts all lying down, the Okama regained their confidence.But Sadi and Saldeath were still at the end of the path."How dare you strike down my adorable children!!""Red Demon Whip: Excitement Levy!!"Sadi swung her long whip, lashing the bridge surface and breaking it completely.Saldeath also raised his trident; even without the Blue Gorillas, he could fight."The bridge is broken!!""What should we do!!?"The Okama started chattering again.Satoru lightly tapped his foot, and spreading ice froze the broken bridge surface, reconnecting the bridge.
Chapter 603: Someone Can't Clap AnymoreUp ahead, Sadi broke the Scorching Heat Bridge, trying to stop Satoru and the others from crossing.But Satoru immediately reconnected the broken bridge using ice.Everyone passed through successfully.Sadi and Saldeath naturally couldn't stop Satoruand the others either.Saldeath was frozen solid like an ice pop, and his weapon was stolen by Satoru.As for Sadi, Ivankov tied her up with her own weapon, the long whip—quite the bondage play.Satoru suspected that Ivankov had a side hustle... "Waaahhhh!!!""I won't let you pass!!!"After crossing the Scorching Heat Bridge, the staircase leading from LEVEL4 to LEVEL3 was not far ahead.Bullet was about to leap over and smash the wooden door open with a punch, but the door opened first by itself. Hannybal appeared, holding a naginata high above his head and spinning it with both hands.His presence was immense, but his damage output looked like 250."Hannybal."Bullet said. Having been imprisoned for so many years, he naturally recognized Hannybal, whom he assessed as a complete good-for-nothing.Satoru was the same, completely unfazed by Hannybal's bluster.But the surviving Jailers of LEVEL4 saw hope once again."Wow, the Vice Jailer is holding the [Blood Sucker]!! He's serious now!!""This is reliable now!! He's very strong!!"The Jailers said so.Then Satoru instantly rushed forward, bent down, and swept Hannybal's legs, causing him to instantly tilt and fall. Satoru followed up by supporting himself with one hand on the ground, connecting with a Nine Heavens Thunderous Double Kick to Hannybal's chest, sending him flying. He slid across the ground and stopped right at the feet of the Jailerbehind him who was holding a Prison Cannon.The scene instantly fell silent. The Jailers who had been shouting their support for Hannybal quieted down."Let's go.""Stop right there!"Hannybal climbed back up.Satoru frowned. He hadn't held back on that kick, yet Hannybal was still able to get up! Is everyone in the pirate world a human tank?!"To protect the bright future of the weak common people!! You pirates!!""I hereby sentence you to death on behalf of the Warden!!""Sing it out!!"Even with a pair of footprints on his chest and blood dripping from his mouth, Hannybal still shouted with imposing spirit.The Jailers behind him actually started beating gongs and drums and shaking maracas."Beep beep... beep beep beep... Hanny!!""Beep beep... beep beep beep... Hanny!!"Meanwhile, Hannybal rotated the naginata in his hands, alternating them. As his speed increased, flames ignited on the blade."Give me some rhythm!!""Nibal is here!!!""Nibal!!!!"Satoru:? Is that an insult? (Nibal sounds like a curse word)"Remember this!! Hanny Carnival!!!""Scorching Hell Wheel!!"Hannybal charged forward, his Flaming Naginata spinning, looking like a wheel of fire.This move looks quite powerful, doesn't it?Yes, very powerful.Satoru opened his mouth and exhaled, spraying cold air toward Hannybal. The flames that Hannybal had just whipped up with the gongs and drums instantly vanished."Wuwu... wuwu... You are not allowed to leave!!!"Shivering from the cold, Hannybal still blocked Satoru. (Hannybal, to save face, never wore a coat when going to LEVEL5 Freezing Hell, so he did possess a certain level of resistance to ice.)"Stop!!""Stay!!""It's not over yet!!!"Hannybal continuously attacked Satoru with his naginata.But because the cold air had entered his body, his movements were sluggish, and he couldn't hit Satoru. With every action, his body became colder, slowly freezing up.Hannybal's face turned blue from the cold, making him a resident of "the other side of the mountains, the other side of the sea.""Save Ace, save my brother!!""What nonsense... Copy cat Satoru, you are nothing but a notorious rebel with a terrible reputation in the world!!!""Saving people, saving your brother—stop spouting pretty words, you societal scum!! Because of people like you coming to this sea, do you know how many common people are unable to sleep at night due to the fear of losing their loved ones!!!""To allow the weak to live in peace, this prison locks up the most heinous pirates. This is the fortress of Hell!!!""Once breached, this world will fall into the abyss of terror!!! I said I wouldn't let you pass, and I won't give up an inch!!"Hannybal thrust his naginata at Satoru again.This time, Satoru didn't dodge, but he wasn't stabbed either. Instead, his hand covered in ice grabbed the naginata."Unable to sleep at night?""Is it entirely the pirates' fault that common people can't sleep at night?""If all the pirates in the world died! The common people of the world would be even more unable to sleep at night!!""They would only become cargo for the Nobles and Celestial Dragons to pick and choose at will!!""You stand on your own position, speaking of justice, and claim the opposition is just spouting pretty words?""What idiocy!!""Even if saving Ace means plunging the entire world into an abyss, so what?!""This world is already an abyss!!!"After speaking, cold air erupted from Satoru's hand. Instantly, Hannybal was frozen into an ice sculpture, the cold spreading from the inside out. If he wasn't thawed out quickly, he would surely die!!"Zehahaha!!!""Well said!! I agree!!!"As Satoru's voice fell and Hannybal was frozen into an ice sculpture, a voice quickly picked up where Satoru left off.That laughter, that voice—Satoru couldn't help but grit his teeth, his gaze turning icy.Blackbeard, that dog bastard!!!Even though the timeline is different, did he still come running the moment he heard about trouble in the prison, like a dog smelling shit?!"Zehahaha!!!""Long time no see, Copy cat Satoru.""Two of them?""That's not surprising coming from you.""Also, what a terrifying lineup of big figures.""What did you rely on to persuade them? Teach me, Copy cat Satoru.""Zehahaha!!!""One-Armed Ghost."This was Satoru's reply."You... Zehahaha, trying to provoke me? Too bad...""One-Armed Ghost!""It's useless...""One-Armed Ghost!""...""One-Armed...""I'll f*cking kill you!!""Copy cat Satoru!! Don't get ahead of yourself!! Trading one hand for your brother Ace's life was worth it!!"Blackbeard was ultimately forced to swear by Satoru, but he retaliated.The two of them knew exactly how to hit each other's sore spots."The God of Destiny favored him, otherwise, Straw Hat should have been the one to die.""You must remember, Copy cat Satoru, to take Straw Hat to Ace's grave to express his thanks!!""Zehahaha!!!"Blackbeard continued speaking, hitting all of Satoru's sore spots and triggers."Then you should also erect a tombstone for your severed arm; it saved you!""What a pity that a certain someone can never clap again."Satoru said with a smile, immediately raising his hand and clapping a few times.Blackbeard's face instantly went so dark it was almost as black as his beard.
Chapter 604: How Do You Know?!!!Satoru clapped, mocking Blackbeard, who now had no way to clap with his severed arm for the rest of his life."Oh, there is one more way. Slapping yourself across the face makes a loud sound too; you can count that as clapping."Getting into a verbal spat with Satoru was the worst decision Blackbeard had ever made.Although the people on Satoru's side remained expressionless, they couldn't help but laugh internally.Blackbeard was so angry his teeth itched, and he knew he couldn't out-talk Satoru."Dark Water!!"Satoru called out, using a small surge of power to compress the air, pretending to be sucked in.As soon as he got close to Blackbeard, the iron trident in his hand stabbed down towards him!!!"Dark your grandmother!!!"Anyway, his accumulated luck was already gone. If it weren't for the fact that cursing would reduce it further, Satoru would have cursed Blackbeard's entire family tree, top to bottom, front to back."Captain, look out!!!"Blackbeard was partially pierced by the iron trident, which was enough to make him cry out in pain. Burgess, seeing Blackbeard injured, immediately punched Satoru. Satoru raised his palm to block but was pushed back."Dark-Dark Fruit!"At this moment, Bullet and Count Red, who had been silently watching the show, finally spoke.Blackbeard had boarded the Whitebeard Pirates' ship a long time ago, so naturally, he recognized these two. He was even an old acquaintance of Bullet."The Iron Claw brat on that Whitebeard guy's ship.""I didn't expect that after all these years, you would have eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit."Bullet said.Blackbeard did not answer.Count Red merely sighed about the Dark-Dark Fruitand had no intention of continuing the conversation with Blackbeard."What's wrong? Did you go mute?!""Weren't you laughing quite happily just now?"The smile vanished from Bullet's face.Although Blackbeard still had a smile on his face, he was cursing internally.His plan could not afford failure. Fighting this War Machine now, whether he won or lost, offered no advantage. It was best not to fight. He didn't know how Satoru managed to invite this guy to break out of prison with him.He knew Bullet—the only arrogant one on the Roger Pirates, who joined the crew for no other reason than to defeat Roger.Whenever the Whitebeard Pirates clashed with the Roger Pirates, this guy always struck the hardest, often forcing Whitebeard to come and clash with him. That suited his preference even more; he was always annoyed that Whitebeard only fought Roger.Blackbeard's perception of Bullet was that of a powerful War Machine who trusted only strength and despised everything else.However, now that he was also a Devil Fruit user, Blackbeard felt less intimidated, as the Dark-Dark Fruit was the bane of all Devil Fruit users.Just as Bullet was about to strike out violently for being ignored by Blackbeard.Magellan finally arrived."Everyone is here. That's for the best.""Hannybal... you did your best. Get some proper rest.""Carry the Vice Warden to the infirmary!!"At Magellan's command, the Jailers immediately stepped forward to carry Hannybal away.Satoru cooperated by taking a step back, allowing the Jailers to take Hannybal.Crocodile raised an eyebrow and cursed, "Womanly Kindness."Naturally, he was cursing Satoru.He was cursing Satoru for not killing Hannybaloutright, and for not using Hannybal to threaten Magellan.Womanly Kindness, perhaps.Although they stood on opposite sides, Hannybal's persistence earned Satoru's respect.Returning Crocodile's smile, Satoru stated, "Womanly Kindness, huh? Then, Mr. Crocodile, have you ever shown womanly... kindness before?"Satoru was once again digging into the little secret Ivankov held over Crocodile. Clearly, Crocodilecouldn't possibly answer Satoru."The Chief Warden has arrived too. The big show is truly starting now.""Blackbeard, what is the purpose of your trip? Since you became a Shichibukai, why invade Impel Down!""Copy cat Satoru! I feel like something is wrong there, and now I understand. Clones—if your clones were created by a Devil Fruit Ability, why didn't they disappear after you put on the seastone handcuffs?!""Does this mean that your cloning ability does not come from a Devil Fruit Ability?""Moreover, along the way, your conversations seemed like those between two separate people. That's very strange.""I personally watched you put on the seastone handcuffs, yet you managed to break out again and unlock the handcuffs. That's even stranger.""You have many suspicious points.""But it doesn't matter. As long as you stay here, no number of suspicious points will be useful!""By the authority of the Chief Warden of Impel Down, I inform you: You are arrested!!""Hydra!!"Magellan instantly activated his Poison Form. Two Hydras flew towards Satoru's group and Blackbeard's group, respectively.Satoru dealt with it using similar means, freezing the incoming Hydra with Cold Air. As for the single Hydra aimed at them, Blackbeard's group also dodged it.Satoru reached behind him and waved, and an Ice Wall separated him and Blackbeard's crew, from Magellan, the Jailers, and Ivankov's group."You all go first.""I will follow shortly."Ivankov originally wanted to shout and ask Satoruwhy he was doing this.But upon hearing Satoru's words, the question died in his mouth.Among the crowd, Ace was the first to run. He had experience; at a time like this, he had to trust Satoru's words.Seeing this, the others followed suit.Although Count Red and Bullet were not afraid of Magellan, not being afraid didn't mean they had to fight him. Since Satoru volunteered, they naturally accepted... "sacrificing oneself to save others.""I didn't expect you to have such strong loyalty.""Copy cat Satoru."Magellan actually praised Satoru.Satoru returned the smile, "What do you mean by sacrificing myself? Are you really so confident you can keep me here?""I'll accept the praise for my loyalty, but you can take back your confidence.""I stayed behind simply to tell you..."Satoru paused here and looked at Blackbeard.When Blackbeard saw Satoru's gaze, his heart trembled, sensing that something terrible was about to happen.Satoru's gaze carried mockery, schadenfreude, and the implication: 'If I don't screw you over, I'm not who I am.'"Tell me what?!"Magellan asked proactively. Anyone who aroused curiosity and then refused to speak deserved to be killed!!"To tell you Blackbeard's objective!""This son of a bitch is here to go to LEVEL 6, release prisoners, and recruit crew members.""Your Head Jailer Shiliew has probably already reached an agreement with him and joined his side.""You need to guard against Shiliew, and you also need to guard against Blackbeard.""Poison Blackbeard and his crew. It's best to use a lot of poison, or Shiliew will come to rescue them."Satoru's words were spoken.Magellan was surprised because he believed Shiliew was capable of such a thing.The members of the Blackbeard Pirates were even more surprised than him.Blackbeard's eyes were nearly bulging out at Satoru. "How do you know?!!!"
Chapter 605: I will definitely slap you hard!!Even if the timeline was different, Satoru could guess why Blackbeard, that bastard, came to Impel Down.As someone who knew the script, knowing Blackbeard was coming, how could he let Blackbeard succeed?How could he let Blackbeard, the chief culprit and bastard currently standing here, get his way?Therefore, Satoru told Magellan everything Blackbeard intended to do, including Shiliew's betrayal.Blackbeard's head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, buzzing intensely.Satoru was like a tapeworm in his stomach, knowing his step-by-step plan."How do you know?!"First, at Jaya Island, he had just confirmed his target was Roux when Satoru severed his arm.Next was the encounter at Crystal Island of Destiny. Satoru and his comrades lost this time, but why did Satoru immediately tell Ace to run?! How did he know Blackbeard had switched his target to Ace?Finally, here at Impel Down, his plan was completely exposed by Satoru to Magellan, the highest authority of Impel Down.The feeling Satoru gave Blackbeard was that while Blackbeard was formulating his plan in his mind, writing it down with his imaginary self, Satoru was standing right behind him, reading the plan clearly and thoroughly.This feeling was absolutely terrifying!!!Blackbeard felt like he was naked in Satoru's eyes.Satoru:...Seeing Blackbeard's astonished, terrified, and disbelieving expression, Satoru was very satisfied."Why do I know?""Naturally, I have to... thank you, Van Auger."Satoru's words were shocking, and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates all turned to look at Auger.But Auger remained calm, staring at Satoru."Destiny.""I have met you a total of three times, including this one.""I think, in these three meetings, our inner thoughts must be the same.""That is... to kill the other party."Once Auger said that, Blackbeard calmed down. He realized he had been played by such a petty trick, a scheme of sowing discord.Auger, Burgess, Lafitte, and Doc Q were his original comrades; they would never betray him."Hahahaha, you're right. I really want to kill you all right now.""But you are like unkillable cockroaches. Even with a severed arm, you are still alive and kicking. It's truly annoying.""Besides, when I said thank you, I didn't say thank you for telling me your plan.""I just wanted to simply thank you... for having a handsome face. Is that not allowed?""Whose fault is it if you misunderstood?"Saying this, Satoru's smile vanished."See you next time, Blackbeard.""The next time we meet, I will definitely slap you hard!!"Satoru's tone was icy cold. With a wave of his hand, large patches of ice and frost flew toward Magellanand Blackbeard's group.By the time both sides blocked the ice and frost, Satoru had already slipped away.The scene was left with only Magellan, the Blackbeard Pirates, and a few Jailers.Because of Satoru's exposure, Blackbeard was now very awkward facing Magellan, and he was prepared for Magellan to attack at any moment."I was wondering why you, who encountered Shiliew, didn't have any signs of fighting him. So that's it..."Magellan spoke first.Blackbeard remained silent."...""...""Hydra!!!""Dark Water!!!"...Meanwhile, with Ace and the others who ran first.There were still Jailers constantly trying to stop them, but they failed completely.The Minotaurus, whom Satoru had kicked into the Blood Pond, reappeared.Mr. 2 Bon Clay's eyes bulged in shock. "Isn't that the Minotaurus Satoru kicked into the Blood Pond?! It's not a Devil Fruit user?! It's still alive!! And it can fight again so quickly?!"Crocodile gave an explanation with a cold expression."Resurrection is expected. They are all 'Awakened' Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. Their characteristics include extraordinary tenacity and regenerative abilities.""If we delay any longer, those three will also get up soon.""However, worrying about them now is unnecessary. Or rather, we never had to worry about them in the first place. We only need to worry about that person just now... the Ruler of Hell!""That's exactly what Satoru said."Ace suddenly chimed in.Crocodile: "...That's really bad luck.""He won't die back there, right?"Ace returned a smile."Even if you die, he won't."After spending some time with Satoru, Ace had somewhat learned... his way of speaking.Crocodile looked at this face, which still resembled Satoru's, and hated it intensely, but he wouldn't resort to violence... The current situation inside the prison was:After Shiliew released and partnered with Blackbeard, he went to the Monitoring Room and cut down both the room and the people inside.Therefore, surveillance failed, and all means of communication between the prison and Marinefordwere cut off.The prison's connection with the outside world has now been completely severed.Originally, Level 2 was sealed off by Magellan's poison, trapping Buggy and others who had rioted and attempted escape inside Level 2. Then Blackbeard arrived and broke Magellan's blockade.This perfectly matched Buggy's Haoshoku Luck.Thus, the lucky man is now leading the prisoners of Level 2 and has broken through to Level 1.Currently, the Level 6 Escape Team led by Ace has reached the staircase leading from Level 3 to Level 2.Satoru, who was covering the rear, is already catching up.What is the outcome of the battle between Magellan and the Blackbeard Pirates on Level 4?We don't know, because we can't see it.However, judging by the fact that Sadie was rescued, woke up the four Jailer Beasts, and forced them to take the elevator directly to Level 1 to prepare for an encirclement.The probability of Magellan defeating the Blackbeard Pirates is relatively high... "We've reached Level 2.""That's right, we've reached... Satoru!! When did you catch up?"When the group reached Level 2, Satoru also caught up with the main force. His sudden appearance startled Mr. 2 Bon Clay and the Okama, as they were the only ones who hadn't noticed Satoru's arrival."Huh? Why is this level so empty?""The locks have all been opened!"Ivankov couldn't help but wonder upon seeing the empty cells.Satoru knew this was the result of Buggy and Mr. 3."Level 2 rioted... three times. I had... a collaborator do it.""He should be at Level 1 now.""That's not very good for us.""Let's keep going.""The dawn of freedom is right ahead."Satoru said, and was about to step forward to take the lead again.He immediately felt a murderous aura approaching from behind.Magellan has caught up!!!
Chapter 606: Venom Demon"Magellan!!!"Magellan catching up like this gave the Okama quite a scare.Satoru was also puzzled. Had Blackbeard and his crew really been taken down so easily?Plus... considering he had warned them, if Magellanhadn't gone for the kill...Satoru just wanted to say... what an idiot...."Are Blackbeard and his crew dead?"Satoru asked directly.Magellan did not answer."Hydra!!!"Satoru rolled his eyes, a burst of cold air erupted, and just like before, the Hydra was frozen."This move is useless."Magellan's eyelids twitched slightly; he wanted to continue attacking.But he heard many footsteps approaching.It was the beast army from LEVEL 2.Satoru picked up Saldeath's iron fork flute, holding it with a very professional posture, and then came a sound, "Beep!!!"A sharp, piercing noise.Satoru didn't know how to play the flute.But as long as it made a sound, that was enough.The Blue Gorillas heard the sound of the flute and all rushed over, even those who were still injured.The LEVEL 2 beast army assembled.But they weren't there to deal with Satoru and his group.Instead, they were helping Satoru's group deal with Magellan.After all, Satoru... oh no, Little Bai possessed Conqueror's Haki in the animal kingdom.Very useful."Let them play with you, Magellan.""Chasing people is so tiring, isn't it better to pet some animals?""Let's go!!""Roar!!"Satoru's three words, "Let's go," were like a command to attack. Upon hearing this, the beast army immediately launched an attack on Magellan.Magellan was entangled, and Satoru and his group successfully shook him off once again....LEVEL 1, Crimson Hell."We're out!!!"A red nose appeared in front of them, and Buggywas so scared that snot and tears were streaming down his face.He and the prison break army, who had been high-spirited just a moment ago, were now being hammered back by the four Jailer Beasts."We made it this far!!""Four Jailer Beasts appearing at the same time!!!""We're done for!!""Run back!!""We can't beat them!!""Give up on the breakout!!"The Jailer Beasts were responsible for LEVEL 4 and above.The army of prisoners from LEVEL 2 and LEVEL 1 led by Buggy and Mr. 3, even with their large numbers, were no match for the four Jailer Beasts.Being hammered back and seeing their companions falling one by one as bloody messes, the prisoners had started to give up.But Buggy's Haoshoku luck was not just a reputation!As they ran, because his head was constantly turned back to watch the Jailer Beasts, Buggy and Mr. 3 suddenly bumped into something and fell down."Your eyes..."Just as he was about to start cursing, he realized the person was Crocodile, "Sir... Sir Crocodile!!!""Uh, Bo-bo-bo-boss!!!"Crocodile ignored Buggy and glanced at Mr. 3, "It's you, Mr. 3. What are you doing here, you trash?""You guys... you wouldn't happen to be the accomplices that bastard Satoru mentioned, would you?""Cooperating with you guys, is his brain sick?""Then when you took him as a subordinate before, was your hat dented?"Satoru's voice came from behind Crocodile."Satoru!!"Buggy and Mr. 3 turned around to see Satoru's familiar smiling face.Mr. 3 remained silent. Although his former boss Crocodile and Satoru were insulting each other, it felt like they were both insulting him.Actually, it didn't just feel like it; they were calling him trash.Crocodile purely thought Mr. 3 was trash.Satoru didn't go that far; trash, but not entirely trash...."It's really great that you two are okay," Satoru said.Buggy and Mr. 3 didn't feel ashamed; they knew this guy Satoru was saying it on purpose. Otherwise, when had this guy ever been so kind?At this moment, Buggy and Mr. 3 noticed that behind Satoru, the four Jailer Beasts had been taken down again.And the other escapees from LEVEL 6 and LEVEL 5.5 were all there: Ace in Satoru's appearance, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Jinbe, Ivankov, Inazuma, Count Red, and Bullet were all there.Bullet was an old acquaintance to Buggy, very well acquainted."Bu... Bu... Bullet..."Buggy's expression was even more terrified and shocked than when he saw the Jailer Beasts."You..."Bullet's eyes scanned Buggy, finally locking onto his nose."Oh, it's you, that incompetent red-nosed brat.""Your underwater combat skills were decent, but you went and ate a Devil Fruit, completely turning into trash.""Where is that Red Hair brat who used to be with you?""Dead?""What about the others? Are they all dead?"Asking about old acquaintances, always bringing up death; it was very consistent with Bullet's solitary nature."Who the hell are you!! How dare you talk about Captain Buggy like that!!"The prisoners rescued by Buggy had been completely conquered by Buggy's Haoshoku luck; they were incredibly loyal.Buggy was even more terrified, almost fainting on the spot.How could he not know Bullet's personality? In the past, when Bullet was on the ship, he was either fighting or on his way to a fight.He fought all the senior officers of the Roger Piratesone by one.Only Rayleigh could rival him.Jabba was half a move behind.Bullet had originally intended to defeat Rogerbefore leaving the ship, but he never managed to defeat Roger until Roger surrendered.Upon learning that Roger was sick and had a terminal illness, he challenged Roger again and failed, then left the ship. He traveled the seas alone, fighting wherever he went.That was why he was sanctioned by a Buster Calland imprisoned in Impel Down until now.Seeing the attitude of the Level 1 prisoners towards him, Bullet was stunned. Had he been gone for so many years that he had become this unpopular?"Captain Buggy?"Buggy didn't dare to answer. How was he supposed to answer?It felt like any answer would mean death.Just as Buggy's sweat was about to drown him, Magellan caught up."What is that thing!!!"The prisoners facing the rear saw the giant red venomous skeleton crawling up from LEVEL 2 and couldn't help but exclaim.Magellan catching up naturally proved that in order to chase Satoru and his group, he had had to take down the beasts of LEVEL 2.This seemed to make him very angry, and he activated it directly."Venom Demon: Judgment of Hell!!!"Venom Demon form, this was Magellan's strongest form.Releasing a giant venomous skeleton from his body, unlike the purple poison he usually released, this move was a specially made bright red poison.Any substance that came into contact with it would become infected, gradually spreading and eroding everything. Once a person touched the poison, it would gradually spread until death.
Chapter 607: New FormThe escape from Impel Down, the great deep-sea prison, has continued until now, reaching LEVEL 1 Crimson Hell. Above this is the surface level of the sea. As long as they seize a warship, they can leave.Impel Down, once known as an impenetrable fortress, would become a laughingstock on the sea that day.Therefore, Magellan absolutely would not allow it.He didn't hesitate to take down the beast army of LEVEL 2. After catching up to Satoru and the others, he immediately unleashed his full power, activating his Poison Giant Soldier form. The tall, red, poisonous skeleton giant could release a large amount of poison with a single claw swipe.The poison was so potent that, as Magellan himself said, it would destroy this prison... Watching Magellan catch up, the appearance of that enormous red skeleton and its aura were incredibly oppressive.Is Magellan's Devil Fruit Ability strong?Its strength lies in its poison. If the poison breaches even a tiny bit of defense, the opponent faces certain death.Its strength lies in its ability to incapacitate the entire Blackbeard Pirates with one move.But if Satoru hadn't swapped bodies with Ace right now, and if his Replication Fruit Ability hadn't been nullified by Ace's body wearing seastone handcuffs, he still wouldn't want to replicate Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit.Because using it once means eight hours of diarrhea, which is unbearable.This is the price of becoming stronger.For example, you can gain superpowers, but others have the right to add a side effect to your superpowers.For instance, you can fly, but you'll have diarrhea for twenty hours. (How vicious, both to the user and to passersby on the road)...I've strayed too far, back to the main topic.Although Magellan had ascended, he was still some distance from the group. The giant skeleton opened its mouth and spat out a flying ball of poison."Candle Wall!!"Mr. 3 made his move, and a Candle Wall shot up from the ground, blocking the poison ball. However, it didn't completely block it, because Magellan's current poison was a red poison, even stronger than his blue poison.The Candle Wall was instantly corroded by the poison, turning into blocks of poison mixed with wax. Touching them was no different from touching pure poison, but it did block it. Absorbing the poison was better than having it splatter everywhere."Whoa, he blocked Magellan's poison!!!""Brother 3, you're truly impressive!!!"The prisoners cheered for Mr. 3."That works too.""Hmph, the relative attributes of abilities are truly unpredictable."Crocodile, seeing that Mr. 3, whom he had just called useless, suddenly possessed this ability, couldn't help but feel a bit chagrined.But Mr. 3 himself was panicking. He hadn't expected Magellan's poison to be so strong, instantly corroding his Candle Wall, despite his wax being as hard as steel."I didn't expect you to have such an ability.""If you're captured again, your detention level will definitely rise."These were Magellan's words, seemingly confident that he could capture all of them. Confidence in oneself is a good thing.Mr. 3 swallowed hard; being targeted was not a good thing."Do you think you can still capture us?"Bullet couldn't stand this kind of talk, even if it wasn't directed at him.Magellan remained silent, letting his actions speak.The enormous Poison Dragon Giant raised its hand and slammed it down.Bullet would not refuse a fight.Facing the descending palm, Bullet activated his Devil Form.He fused his Haki, greatly enhancing his speed and strength, and covered his entire body with Armament Haki, resembling a "devil from hell." This was one of the reasons he was called the "Demon Heir."Springing up, Bullet met Magellan's Poison Giant Soldier's palm with a punch.The Poison Giant Soldier's palm was shattered by the blow. After the upward impact, red poisonous rain fell.Red poisonous rain.That was simply too terrible.Satoru couldn't help but curse Bullet, "What a brute."Satoru's eyes turned blue, a single horn grew from his head, and his white Long Hair fluttered behind him, as if each strand contained chilling cold.With an instantaneous burst of cold air, the falling poison drops were frozen into "hailstones."Because they were coated in ice, they didn't harm anyone when they fell. However, the poison was continuously corroding the ice, and soon the ice would also become poisonous ice. Then, these widespread poisonous ice drops would be no different from stepping on a landmine."Jinbe, you all go first!""I'll leave the ship to you."Satoru said.Jinbe, Ivankov, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Crocodile, and Count Red all readily agreed.Ace only regretted not being able to help, but he knew to leave, rather than stubbornly staying when he clearly couldn't do anything, which would be purely idiotic. (Unless he had a protagonist's halo, then disregard what I said.)And Buggy was super-duper agreeable; he wished someone would stop Magellan so he could leave."Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Satoru, partner, and... Mr. Bullet.""Little ones! Let's go!!""Yes!! Great Buggy-sama!!!"...Because Satoru, Bullet, and Mr. 3 were holding back Magellan, the others safely evacuated to the surface level of the sea. However, that didn't mean there were no enemies on the surface level.Domino was leading the Jailers in defense, but one Domino and many Jailers were not enough to fight the team that had ascended.LEVEL 1 Magellan 1v3 Satoru, Bullet, Mr. 3.Satoru seemed to have activated a new form, no, it should be said, Little Bai, because this was his body.It was the Ice Cold Form, with scales covering his neck and arms, cold air emanating from the gaps in the scales, ice-blue eyes, and white hair wrapped in cold air, fluttering.It seemed even colder than when he froze the tsunami in Water Seven.Because even Bullet, a top-tier Armament Hakiuser, felt a chill.This caused him to momentarily glance at Satoru, distracted from his battle with Magellan.Bullet's personality wouldn't allow him to be 1v3, so Satoru and Mr. 3 just watched them fight.Bullet was fine with Satoru's cold air.Magellan noticed that the poison, when frozen by the cold air, was easier for Bullet to shatter. So, he condensed his poison. Although the skeleton giant became smaller, its toxicity increased.Mr. 3, participating in this level of combat, was merely on the verge of turning into an ice candle from the cold. This was even with Satorudeliberately controlling the cold air to avoid him. If he hadn't avoided him, Satoru feared he might accidentally kill him... Bullet and Magellan's battle was extremely fierce.Bullet's main strategy was full Armament Hakicoverage, closing in on Magellan's Main Body for close combat.Magellan's main strategy was to stay far from Bulletand use his skeleton to wear him down.Fighting a top-tier Armament Haki user like Bulletup close was not a good decision.But Bullet, relying on his top-tier Armament Hakicoverage, showed no avoidance. Because he wasn't afraid, he simply endured Magellan's poison and relentlessly pounded Magellan up close. Even with poison dripping from above his head, he paid no mind, not even blinking, and surprisingly, his eyes didn't sting.Magellan, unable to endure the pounding, shouted loudly and burst forth."Enough!!"It seems many people use this phrase when they erupt, especially when they're being suppressed
Chapter 608: The Desperado"Enough!!!"Bullet activated his Devil Form, coating his entire body with top-tier Armament Haki to resist Magellan's poison and press the attack in close quarters.Naturally, Magellan couldn't tolerate such humiliation. With a cry of "Enough," he suddenly exerted force, unleashing poison across his entire body, pushing Bullet back.Satoru, who had seen Bullet's combat record, now acknowledged Magellan's strength. No wonder he could be the Warden... Bullet was pushed back, but instead of getting angry, he was delighted. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he got, exuding a masochistic aura.Just as he intended to press forward, he saw Magellan's Giant Skeleton Soldier dissolve, immediately transforming into a massive wave of poison that swept towards them, causing the ground to corrode and emit white smoke."Venom Tsunami!""Oh my god!!!"Seeing such an oppressive wave of poison crash toward them, Mr. 3 was so terrified his eyes nearly popped out.Satoru also knew this would be difficult to deal with.Bullet, however, revealed a battle-hungry smile. "Then let's see who's better!!!"The Armament Haki retracted from Bullet's body, and just like Magellan's poison, it transformed into a giant wave that surged out like a tsunami.Bullet's Armament Haki giant wave acted like a bulldozer, flattening and destroying everything in its path.Magellan's poison giant wave focused on corrosion; everything in its path was corroded, sizzling, emitting white smoke, and melting instantly.The two giant waves collided. Bullet's Armament Haki wave pushed back Magellan's poison wave, but it was also gradually corroded by the poison until, finally, both canceled each other out.The biggest casualty in the area was the floor, which had been corroded, leaving a massive hole that pierced directly through the ground of Level 1 and Level 2. Standing at the edge of the hole, one could see the floor below.Bullet was still smiling; he had plenty of strength left.But Magellan was feeling uncertain. His strongest attack had been completely ineffective. How was he supposed to fight now?!"Come on, keep going!""Magellan, as the Warden of Impel Down, is this all you've got?"Said Bullet.Magellan, however, looked behind him. Bullet knew without turning around that Satoru and Mr. 3 had left. Magellan watched helplessly as they climbed the stairs toward the Level Above Sea.Magellan felt profoundly powerless.But Bullet actually preferred it this way. His personality would never allow him to fight two-on-one; that would only bring him shame!Even though he felt powerless and his chances of winning were slim, Magellan still stepped forward to fight Bullet.He could lose, he could die, but he absolutely couldn't lose while standing still. Unless he was beaten unconscious, he would never give up.On one hand, it was his duty; on the other, it was for accountability. If he emerged from this whole incident completely unscathed, the World Government would likely make him the scapegoat... Level Above Sea.While Satoru and Mr. 3 were watching the show.The team led by Ace had already cleaned out all the Jailers on this level. Now, all that was left was opening the gate and seizing a ship."Alright! Everyone get ready, we're about to open the gate!"Naturally, the job of opening the gate was handed over to the Great Prison Break Army led by Buggy, though not all of them were needed.The prisoners who weren't involved in opening the gate watched as the massive door slowly opened, letting light stream in, and they were overwhelmed with emotion."We're finally going to see the light of day again, boo hoo hoo...""Idiot, we haven't escaped yet!!""If we defeat the Marines, we reach heaven; if we lose, we go straight back to hell!!"Buggy, at least, showed some intelligence."Yes!!!"After his speech, the prisoners were all pumped up, ready to face the Marines waiting outside the open gate."Even if there are thousands of Marines outside, we must break through and return to the seas!!!""Gao oh oh!!""Come on over, bastards!!"Moderate shouting and swearing helped bolster their courage.But when the gate was fully opened... the sunlight was blinding. What met their eyes was the boundless ocean, the gigantic inscription of "Justice," and thick fog floating on the sea—there wasn't a single silhouette of a battleship.The prisoners were stunned; this was not what they had expected."Eh!!! There are no battleships!!!""Waa... there isn't a single battleship we can seize!!""There isn't even one Marine!!""How could this happen!! What are we supposed to do now?! We can't do anything!!"Crocodile continued smoking his cigar expressionlessly."So that's it... It seems the enemy isn't as stupid as we thought!""The seabed is full of massive Sea Kings. Indeed, this Calm Belt is the greatest cell of Impel Down!"The prisoners suddenly realized the truth, and disappointment flooded their hearts. "We finally climbed out of hell... could it be...""Damn it!! Are we just going to be beaten back into hell like this?!""No time for sighing! Moving the battleships must have been Magellan's order!""Look! We can still vaguely see the silhouettes of battleships at the edge of the fog!"Jinbe pointed his hand toward the distance.The prisoners looked in the direction he pointed and, sure enough, they could vaguely see the silhouettes of battleships."...It's true! But if they're that far away, what good does seeing them do us!?"Regarding this question, Jinbe said confidently, "Don't worry, you have me! Leave this place to me!!!"Jinbe is a Fishman, and Sea Kings pose no great threat to him. Swimming that distance is nothing.Just then, Count Red, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "I advise you not to go."As Count Red spoke, his eyes were fixed on the front, where a battleship was slowly approaching!"Why?!"When Count Red said this, everyone's gaze turned toward him.Jinbe knew Count Red's strength and personality, so he wouldn't joke about this, but he was confused."Why?"Count Red did not answer, but another voice rang out."You really can't go. If you do, you'll be walking straight into a trap!""Satoru!!!"Everyone jumped in shock and looked back. It was Satoru and Mr. 3 returning."You scared This servant half to death, Little Brother Satoru. Why are you always appearing and disappearing so mysteriously?"Mr. 2 Bon Clay said, patting his chest."That's not important. Right now, we need to figure out how to deal with... that old man!"Everyone turned their heads back, only to see the battleship emerging from the fog and approaching the prison—it was a dog head battleship with a dog's head on the bow!!!"Th-Th-That battleship!!!!""It's Garp!!!"The prisoners naturally recognized this battleship as Garp's dog head battleship.It could be said that Garp was the nightmare of these low-level pirates; many of them were likely captured and imprisoned by Garp himself.When Garp was young, he was The Desperado; he was either chasing Roger or on his way to chase Roger, grabbing a few pirates along the way.
Chapter 609: The Road Ahead Is Not a Dead EndThey finally escaped to the first level of the sea, and finally saw a glimmer of hope.Even if the ship was far away, there was a way to snatch one back, especially with Jinbe the Fishman.But facing the approaching dog head battleship, the escaped prisoners from LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 felt nothing but despair.Garp, the marine hero, the nightmare of pirates.Satoru and Ace absolutely did not want to face the old man Garp right now.Even Count Red, who had always been calm and silent, couldn't help but clench his hands. He and Garp were from the same era and could be considered 'old friends'.In short, Garp's arrival was unexpected by everyone... "Satoru..."Ace didn't expect Garp to come. Their four brothers had many 'happy' childhood memories with Garp. Feeling powerless, Ace could only call out to Satoru.Satoru inwardly thought, don't call me! Why did you have to come, Old Man Garp!!!Though he thought this, in reality, he still had to stabilize morale."Hold steady, the road ahead... is not a dead end."..."Hahahaha!!!""Long time no see!! White Kid!!""I didn't see you when we said goodbye in Water Seven.""As a pirate, breaking into the Great Deep Sea Prison, what are you trying to do?! Does Luffyknow?!"Garp's laughter arrived before he did.This was the Garp Satoru knew, always with a Smiling Face, no matter what."Long time no see, Old Man Garp."Satoru replied, a response that greatly surprised the prisoners. The others—Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Jinbe, Crocodile, and Count Red—were also puzzled. As a pirate, Satoru seemed very familiar with Garp.Ivankov and Inazuma knew that Satoru grew up with Luffy, Ace, and Sabo.Luffy is Dragon's son, and the whole world knows Dragon is Garp's son, so Ivankov and Inazuma weren't surprised that Satoru and Garp knew each other."You still remember to call me old man!""Two of yourselves?""Are you planning to leave one for me to teach a good lesson?"Garp said.Ace: "..." (How dare I speak!!!)"Oh my, if it isn't an old acquaintance."Garp's arrival had already plunged the prisoners into despair, and now another voice came. Admiral Aokijiemerged from the ship's cabin.The 'old acquaintance' Aokiji referred to was naturally the white-haired Satoru, because this was the body of Xiao Bai who had fought him in the nameless sea area before Enies Lobby."Aokiji!!!"The despair in the prisoners' hearts intensified even further.A marine hero plus a Marine Admiral, are they not going to let anyone live!!!Satoru was also on the verge of despair. One Garpwasn't enough, they had to add an Aokiji. Are you two master and disciple glued together?In response to Aokiji's words, Satoru's reaction was... to play dumb."You are..."Regarding Satoru playing dumb, Aokiji said,"The recognition of ice by ice will not disappear.""Even in your current appearance.""And... the same appearance as Copy cat Satoru.""So, in Water Seven, was the person at the top of that wall also you?"In a sense, Aokiji's words implied that the person on the wall when he chatted with Robin was Xiao Bai.But it was actually Satoru whose consciousness possessed Xiao Bai's body.And the one in front of the prison now was also Satoru.In a sense, Aokiji wasn't wrong.Satoru guessed this point, so he naturally turned the tables. Now he was Xiao Bai, and Ace was Satoru."Oh~ I remember now, you're that ice guy. Your coldness is just... alright."Aokiji raised an eyebrow. "It really is you."Satoru smiled. Indeed, that's Xiao Bai's personality."What do you mean?""This kid isn't Satoru?""Isn't he identical to that kid Satoru?""Oh, except for the hair."Garp was confused. What 'even in your current appearance, and... the same appearance as Copy cat Satoru'? Isn't this just Satoru?Satoru lightly nudged Ace's shoulder. Aceimmediately understood and cooperated."Old Man, he's Satoru, so guess who I am?"In Ace's understanding, Satoru was the kind of person who would say such things.Garp's gaze darted back and forth between Satoruand Ace."..."No matter which one of you is that kid, or if both of you are, just fight them all!!"After Garp finished speaking, he acted without hesitation, launching himself from the ship with his legs and smashing towards Satoru on the wooden bridge.Count Red, who had been elegantly strolling while others ran since escaping, always managing to keep up with the main group, now actively confronted Garp.The ordinary longsword he'd picked up clashed with Garp's fist in mid-air, erupting in a massive shockwave that created a crater in the sea below, blowing most of the prisoners off their feet."As expected of a clash between two top powerhouses."Jinbe sighed with emotion, secretly glad he hadn't gone earlier. If he had, encountering Garp would have indeed meant throwing his life away.Neither Garp nor Count Red could fly. After their clash, they fell. Satoru and Aokiji tacitly released cold air, instantly freezing the sea surface, providing a place for Garp and Count Red to land."Patrick Redfield, I thought you had died in prison."Garp and Count Red were old acquaintances.Count Red was a formidable character who could even win by half a move in a one-on-one fight against former Fleet Admiral Kong Garp. However, although he defeated Kong Garp, he also became weak and powerless, easily captured and imprisoned in Impel Down by Garp, until now."How could I die without killing you first?""I'm old, but so are you, Garp!"On the ice, the two instantly started fighting, as fast as a gale, as swift as lightning. The fists and longsword they wielded moved so quickly that the prisoners watched in a daze.The prisoners only saw sparks flying and the ice cracking... Garp was engaged in battle, and Aokijiwasn't just fond of sleeping. Since he hadn't settled the score with Xiao Bai last time, he continued to charge at Satoru.But Satoru didn't want to fight him. In this situation, Satoru had to figure out how to leave."Satoru, I'll leave it to you!"Satoru shouted, retreating behind everyone.The prisoners were confused. What did he mean by calling himself out???But Ace knew he was being cued, so he confronted Aokiji."Copy cat Satoru.""Last time, if it weren't for that... guy, your entire Straw Hat Pirates might be here now.""Was that person you? Did you change your appearance to confuse me?""Or was it someone else?!"While Aokiji and Ace were in a stalemate, Aokijitook the opportunity to ask the questions in his heart.Satoru having clones, Xiao Bai being able to transform into Satoru's appearance, and then swapping souls with Ace—these three abilities completely baffled Aokiji.Facing Aokiji's questions, Ace, inside Satoru's body, thought, I'm confused too, what are you even talking about?Ace didn't know about Xiao Bai's fight with Aokiji, so he naturally felt confused, but whether confused or not, fighting was the only option!
Chapter 610: Tell Me FirstThe jailbreak from Impel Down had escalated to a "super difficult" level (though not quite "hell" level yet) right before they reached the gate on the upper sea level, all because of the arrival of Garp and Aokiji.Garp was facing his "old friend," Count Red—Patrick Redfield.Aokiji was coming for Little Bai. Since Satoru's consciousness was possessing Little Bai's body, one could say he was coming for Satoru. But Satoruneeded to find a way to change this situation, so he let Ace fight Aokiji. Besides, Ace was currently using his body; it wouldn't be strange if he used fire abilities.The others were naturally not just going to stand by and watch."Abandon ship!!""Capture the pirates!!!"At the order of Garp's adjutant, Bogard, the MarineSoldiers on the dog head battleship swarmed off the ship and launched an attack towards the wooden bridge.Faced with the surging Marine army, everyone on the wooden bridge reacted in their own way.Sir Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke, "That's fine, otherwise it'd be boring!"Immediately, his lower body turned into sand as he flew out, targeting Bogard.And with Sir Crocodile making a move, Mr. 1 naturally followed, though he wouldn't interfere in Sir Crocodile's fight; he would only help clear out the small fry so they wouldn't disturb him."Hee-haw!!!""Sweethearts!! Attack!!"At Ivankov's command, the surviving Okamas immediately launched a charge.Buggy and Mr. 3 saw that the sea surface had been frozen and were tempted to run across the ice right now.But they understood that the ice couldn't possibly stretch across the entire ocean, so they still had to put on a show and keep fighting!"Little ones!! With me, charge!!!""Yes!! Lord Buggy!!"Buggy and Mr. 3 led the prisoners onto the ice to join the battle.Now, only Satoru, Ivankov, Inazuma, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and Jinbe were left on the wooden bridge... no! That's three Okamas, one handsome guy, and one Fishman."Hee-haw!!! What should we do now? What should we do?!!"Ivankov panicked and started dancing.Mr. 2 Bon Clay followed along, spinning around.As for Inazuma, looking at Ivankov's actions, he thought to himself that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.Satoru and Jinbe couldn't help but have a speechless sweatdrop on the back of their heads."So, are we still going to seize a warship? Brother Satoru?" Jinbe asked.He also couldn't understand why there were two Satorus, and why both of them acted like completely different people. Even if one was a clone, shouldn't they have a similar personality to the Main Body?Jinbe's question left Satoru in a dilemma. Even if they had a ship now, there was nothing they could do! Aokiji could freeze the sea surface at any moment.But... having one was better than nothing!"Hmm, I feel like we still need a warship. I'll leave it to you, Jinbe.""Leave it to me!"Jinbe was confident. He immediately jumped off the wooden bridge and onto the ice. Naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to try and seize the dog head battleship; his target was the warship in the mist in the distance. Satoru and Aokiji's ice hadn't reached that far, but for a Fishman like Jinbe, having seawater was actually an advantage....Jinbe had also gone down, and Satoru continued to think about what to do."What to do?! What to do?!""I spin~ I spin~""...""What to do?! I spin~"Being brainwashed by Ivankov and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Satoru's mind was filled with nothing but "What to do?! I spin~".Sister Ivankov, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Inazuma, you guys... just go fight. I'll come up with a countermeasure. I already... have an idea."Ooh ♦""Ooh ♦♦""Ooh ♦♦♦"Hearing Satoru's responsible and reliable words, the three of them all went "Ooh" and stared at him in unison.Satoru couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine."Satoru boy, you really are reliable~""Right! We won't let the Marines or Jailers disturb you!! Satoru boy!!!""New Okama Kenpo 44: Beauty Secret Technique - Dream Strike Treatment Fist!!!""Splendid Swan Dance!!!""Giant Scissors!!!"Ivankov, Inazuma, and Mr. 2 Bon Clay also threw themselves into the battle. As for the move names, Inazuma's sounded a bit weak....As everyone joined the battle one by one, only Satoru was left on the wooden bridge.What he had said to Ivankov and the others about having an idea was purely a lie; he just wanted Ivankov and Mr. 2 Bon Clay to stop "chanting."Now that Ivankov had said to rely on him again, Satoru had a massive headache.There were wolves in front and tigers behind.Although he didn't need to worry about the tiger behind, he couldn't fight the wolves in front for too long. If it dragged on until Marine reinforcements arrived, that would be disastrous.Moreover, if the Gate of Justice couldn't be opened, a ship would be useless, unless the ship could fly over the high prison walls on either side of the Gate of Justice. But what kind of ship could fly!! (If there's an Knock-Up Stream or Coup de Vent, pretend I didn't say that.)"...""...""Damn Blackbeard!!!"After closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, Satoru still had no countermeasure. He could only open his mouth and curse Blackbeard to vent his frustration. "Damn" doesn't count as a swear word, right?If it weren't for Blackbeard, he and Ace wouldn't be here right now!!!And even if this matter was resolved!! The Marineford War was still the day after tomorrow!!!Satoru's head hurt just thinking about it. Who wouldn't be annoyed by this?...The path ahead wasn't a dead end. Satoruabsolutely didn't believe he would fall here. Maybe it was arrogance, maybe it was a gut feeling, he just felt that he wouldn't die or be left behind here.The famous scholar - Wozjisohuod once said, when you feel restless and have no ideas, look up at the window, look into the distance, and it will be of great help.Satoru looked up at the battlefield, but the moment the battlefield entered his sight, there was an instant pull and flicker. The vision before Satoruchanged instantly, turning into a whiteness and a... set of abs. His face almost pressed right against them.The 1.7-meter-tall Satoru stepped back two paces and looked up at Little Bai's face. Clearly, he had been pulled into the consciousness space by Little Bai."Little Bai, you...""Speak quickly!""Speak what quickly?"Little Bai spoke, but was interrupted by Satoru's "Speak quickly." Little Bai blurted out a retort.Satoru indicated, "At this critical moment, you pulling me into the consciousness space proves that you have a way to break the deadlock, right! Little Bai!!!""Speak quickly!""I'll agree to any condition you have!!!"Little Bai froze for a moment, then smiled, "Hahahaha, I really like you more and more, Little Little Bai.""Yes, I do have a way to break the deadlock.""However, don't make promises you can't keep, Little Little Bai. Are you really going to agree to anything?"Little Bai leaned forward slightly, bringing his face closer to Satoru's. Looking at Little Bai's intense gaze, Satoru couldn't help but feel uneasy. After swallowing hard, he said."Tell me first."
