"I didn't expect you could really fly."
Sitting behind Buggy, Luffy said with amazement.
After this guy came out from underground, his body had flown into the air and steadily carried the two of them.
"You thought this great me was bragging?"
Buggy snorted.
"A mere Crimson Hell can't stop this great me!"
"Yahahaha!"
At the end, Buggy burst into laughter, looking extremely proud.
"Keep your voice down," jin said irritably. "Don't forget we're in enemy territory."
"Don't worry. We're moving through the forest right now. The people outside won't notice us."
Buggy said.
He had specially chosen this place to move through precisely because he was afraid the jailers would discover their tracks.
"That's true."
jin nodded.
At least so far, they had not encountered any jailers or other prisoners here.
At that moment, jin saw the thing he least wanted to see.
A Visual Transponder Snail.
Right in front of them, slightly to the right, a Visual Transponder Snail was lying on the trunk of a Sword Tree, staring fixedly in their direction.
At Buggy's speed, there was no way they could avoid its surveillance.
'Although I can use the Sharingan to control the Transponder Snail, the image here should still be transmitted to the other side.'
jin muttered inwardly.
He wondered whether the Mangekyo Sharingan could still work through a surveillance image.
After hesitating for an instant, jin gave up on using the Sharingan. Instead, he drew the Kusanagi Sword at his waist.
"Gale Slash!"
Pfft!
A terrifying cyan slash rushed in front of the Visual Transponder Snail in almost the blink of an eye, cutting both the snail and the tree apart together.
Clang!
Crash!
The Transponder Snail, split in half, fell to the ground along with the severed tree trunk.
"Eh?!"
Seeing the branch fall to the ground, Buggy was dumbfounded.
"Why did you suddenly attack?!"
Wasn't this supposed to be a secret infiltration? What did suddenly attacking mean?
Was this bastard afraid other people would not discover them?
Luffy also looked at jin in surprise, clearly not expecting jin to attack the moment he said so.
"There was a Visual Transponder Snail there."
jin pointed toward the spot from earlier.
"So you were cutting down the Transponder Snail?"
"Yes."
"I see…"
Buggy nodded, then frowned.
"I didn't expect the Marines to be this cautious. They even placed Visual Transponder Snails in a place like this."
He had thought those things would only be in places like the prison cells.
But in the end… even this area filled with dangerous plants had one.
"After all, there are so many pirates here. No amount of caution is excessive."
After saying that, jin carefully looked around, then continued,
"Buggy, rush forward at full speed. I'll be responsible for cutting down every Visual Transponder Snail."
Although he was not sure whether this would let them avoid the Marines' surveillance… they had no other choice now.
"Fine, I got it."
Buggy nodded.
Even if jin had not said it, he would have escaped this place as fast as possible.
After all… once the Visual Transponder Snail here was destroyed, the Marines would become alert.
Glancing at the pirates still running to the side, Buggy thought,
'Good thing this great me never exposed the fact that I'm a Devil Fruit user. Otherwise, my outcome definitely wouldn't be much better than theirs.'
Thinking this, Buggy felt extremely fortunate about his own cleverness.
With that thought, Buggy quickly left the area.
"Hey, did you guys see something pass through the forest just now?" a pirate in the distance asked while looking over.
"You must have seen wrong."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up! If those spiders bite you, you'll die!"
"Yeah!"
The pirates snapped back to their senses and once again endured the pain of being pierced by Needle Grass, running step by step into the distance.
Unlike the suffering pirates, the jailers wearing special clothes had delighted smiles on their faces.
"Run faster, pirates!"
"Ahahahaha! If you stop, I'll kill you~"
"Kill!"
"No… don't kill me!"
"Everyone, run!"
"Ahhh!"
Hearing the pirates' screams, the jailers laughed even more happily.
"Hahaha!"
"Those guys are having quite a lot of fun."
Standing beside the monitor room window, a man watched his companions below chasing the pirates with a cheerful smile.
"Stop slacking off," his companion behind him said. "Hurry up and watch the monitors. If something goes wrong, all of us will be in trouble."
If some prisoners escaped from their cells because of them… they would be waiting to get hung up and whipped by Little Sadi.
That woman would not go easy on them. She really would hit them.
As if imagining that woman's perverted appearance, he subconsciously shivered.
"Fine, fine."
The man said helplessly,
"I'll do it right—"
However, before he could finish speaking, he noticed that two of his companions' expressions were not quite right.
"What's wrong with you two?"
The bearded man ignored him and turned to look at the long-faced man beside him.
"Hey… I didn't see wrong just now, did I?"
"You didn't. I saw it too," the long-faced man said. "Although they only appeared for an instant, I definitely wasn't mistaken!"
"What are you two talking about?"
"There are three people inside the Crimson Hell!" the long-faced man said.
As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of wanted posters and began searching through them.
Then he took out the wanted posters for jin, Luffy, and Buggy the Clown.
"It's these two men!" the long-faced man said. "The ones with Buggy the Clown are these two!"
"What did you say?"
The other companions looked at the wanted posters in the long-faced man's hands, and their pupils immediately shrank.
"Straw Hat Luffy. Bounty: 420 million berries."
"Blood-Eyed Ninja jin. Bounty: 400 million berries!"
"Why would these two monsters appear in Impel Down…?"
The jailers' faces were filled with panic. They could not understand how such people had appeared inside Impel Down.
"I heard the Straw Hat Pirates caused a huge disturbance in the Sabaody Archipelago not long ago and killed three Celestial Dragons."
"I know about that too. Admiral Kizaru even captured hundreds of pirates to vent his anger because of it."
"So that means… even Admiral Kizaru couldn't kill them?"
As if realizing something, several of their faces turned pale.
The Straw Hat Pirates possessed the strength to resist a Marine Admiral. And the two strongest members of that crew… were now inside Impel Down?!
What were they supposed to do?
At that moment, a man lying against the window and observing the distant situation suddenly cried out,
"They jumped down the pit!"
"Hurry, notify the other levels!" the long-faced man said. "Tell them that Straw Hat Luffy, the Blood-Eyed Ninja, and Buggy the Clown have entered Level Two, the Wild Beast Hell, together!"
"Also, contact Warden Magellan and Marine Headquarters. Report the situation here!"
With two powerful people like this appearing inside Impel Down, anything could happen.
'If they release the pirates, then what awaits us will probably be…'
As if thinking of something, the long-faced man's face immediately turned green.
"Understood!"
…
"Haa…"
"That felt wonderful~"
Walking out of the restroom, Magellan had a relaxed expression on his face.
The feeling of release was truly amazing.
"So this guy is Magellan?"
Hancock looked at Magellan, who was walking out of the restroom while holding his stomach, and subconsciously frowned.
"Don't be fooled by how Warden Magellan looks. He is still very strong," Domino said.
Although this man suffered from diarrhea for ten hours every day, he was still extremely reliable when it mattered.
"Very strong…"
Recalling Domino's earlier description of Magellan, Hancock's heart sank.
'A poison man…'
So this was the strongest man in Impel Down.
Hopefully, jin would not encounter him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Warden!"
"Ah~"
Magellan waved to the two jailers beside him. Then he looked at Hancock and the others.
"You must be the guests. I am the warden of Impel Down, Magellan."
After saying that, Magellan covered his eyes and said,
"So… so dazzling. What a bright room!"
"Damn it. I want to be locked in an even darker room!"
"If possible, I want to seal away my heart as well!"
Hancock: "…"
Hancock looked at Magellan speechlessly.
Why did she feel that this man was a little abnormal too?
The vice warden was like this, and even the warden was like this.
Did the Marines have no normal people they could use?
"Idiot Warden, what nonsense are you saying?!" Hannyabal said. "Vice Admiral Momonga and Warlord Boa Hancock are watching you!"
"Warden Magellan, Fleet Admiral Sengoku should have told you everything, correct?" Momonga said.
"Ah… yes, he did."
Magellan scratched his head and said,
"I'm truly sorry. I had a bit of diarrhea today, so I wasted some time."
"It was probably caused by the poison soup I had this morning."
"Then can't you just stop eating poison?!" Hannyabal retorted.
"As a poison man, of course I like eating poison," Magellan said. "Isn't there an old saying? Fight poison with poison~"
"But you got diarrhea!"
Magellan: "…"
"You really are as venomous as ever, Hannyabal."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and give me the warden position."
"Ah!"
"I misspoke just now. What I meant is that we want to see Fire Fist Ace as soon as possible!"
"What you said by mistake was really excessive, Hannyabal."
Magellan clutched his chest.
"How could I have such a heartless subordinate like you?"
After saying this, Magellan breathed toward Hannyabal, releasing a large amount of purple smoke.
Seeing this, the surrounding jailers' expressions changed. They immediately took out gas masks and put them on.
"Vice Admiral Momonga, Lady Hancock, please put on gas masks."
Hancock and Momonga frowned as they put on the gas masks, watching helplessly as the purple smoke drifted toward Hannyabal.
This scene frightened Hannyabal so badly that he shot several meters away.
Then he opened his shark-like mouth and roared,
"Bastard Magellan! Are you trying to kill me?!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Damn it! You're actually laughing at me!"
"Do you have any concern for your subordinates?!"
Unfortunately, Hannyabal's words did not make Magellan stop laughing. Instead, they made the man laugh even more happily.
Hannyabal: "…"
This bastard warden!
"Insolent fool!"
Hancock kicked Magellan to the ground, then struck a pose that looked down on everything.
"Are you planning to poison me as well?!"
"So… so beautiful!"
Magellan, who had been kicked to the ground, not only did not get angry, but became excited instead.
"Hey!"
"That's enough from all of you!"
Veins bulged on Vice Admiral Momonga's face as he looked at them through gritted teeth.
"We are extremely short on time!"
What was the meaning of this incomprehensible farce, damn it?!
"Ahaha, right. I'll take you there now."
Magellan climbed up from the ground and said,
"The place where Fire Fist Ace is being held is very dangerous. I must personally take you there."
The prisoners held on Impel Down's Level Six were all extremely vicious criminals. Even if they were restrained by Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, they might still attack outsiders.
So… only with him, the warden who could suppress everything, accompanying them could they go to Level Six.
"Then hurry up," Vice Admiral Momonga said.
At that moment, the Transponder Snail on the desk suddenly rang.
Buru buru buru~
Buru buru buru~
Buru buru buru~
Kacha.
"Hello, this is the warden's office~"
"Bastard, why are you answering the call?!"
Seeing Hannyabal pick up his dedicated Transponder Snail, Magellan immediately spat out a mouthful of purple smoke.
"Uh…"
Hannyabal accidentally inhaled the poisonous gas and collapsed on the spot.
"Damn it… I really want to become warden…"
Vice Admiral Momonga: "…"
Was this guy's obsession with that position really that strong?
"Hurry, prepare an antidote for the vice warden!" Domino said.
"Yeah!"
Magellan paid no attention to the guy he had poisoned. In any case, it was not a lethal poison. Even without an antidote, it would only leave him lying down for a few days.
Then Magellan picked up the Transponder Snail on the desk and said,
"This is Magellan."
"Warden Magellan, intruders have appeared in Impel Down!"
"What did you say?!"
Magellan said in shock.
"There are actually intruders in my Impel Down?"
Who was so reckless that they dared to come to his territory to seek death?
Domino also showed a shocked expression, clearly not expecting intruders to appear here.
This was Impel Down!
'Intruders?'
Vice Admiral Momonga glanced at Hancock beside him.
'Could this have something to do with this woman?'
No. She had been on the warship the entire time. After entering Impel Down, she had also undergone a body search. It was impossible for her to have brought enemies in.
So… it should be a coincidence.
Hancock paid no attention to Momonga's gaze. Instead, she frowned and thought,
'Could jin and the others have been exposed?'
If that were the case… they might encounter Magellan.
'No. I need to find a way to delay this man.'
Thinking this, Hancock walked toward Magellan.
"Bastard. No matter who has invaded Impel Down, they must receive the harshest punishment!"
Magellan said viciously,
"Send me the image. I'll—"
Before Magellan could finish speaking, he saw Hancock walk up to him.
"Warden, I wish to go to Fire Fist Ace as soon as possible. May I?"
Magellan: !!!
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful Hancock, Magellan's eyes immediately turned into hearts.
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll go right now!"
"Hey!"
Hannyabal, who had been treated with an antidote, looked at Magellan in disbelief.
"But someone has invaded Impel Down! Do you really not care?"
"Or… are you planning to take responsibility and give me your position?"
As if imagining something, Hannyabal immediately became excited.
Unfortunately, Magellan completely ignored him.
"Please follow me, Boa Hancock~"
Magellan said,
"I will take you to see Fire Fist Ace as quickly as possible!"
It would not take long to go from here to Underground Level Six, so it would not waste much time.
Hannyabal: "…"
That bastard!
"Warden, are you truly unconcerned?" Domino asked.
"Domino, don't underestimate our Impel Down."
Magellan glanced at Domino.
"No matter who has invaded this place, death is what awaits them."
After saying this, Magellan left without looking back.
Domino froze for a moment, then nodded.
"That's true."
Inside Impel Down, there were not only ordinary jailers, but also all kinds of powerful beings.
Even pirates with bounties over one hundred million would die if they came here.
Thinking this, Domino relaxed. Then she followed Boa Hancock and left.
However, just as she was about to leave, Hancock looked back at the Transponder Snail on the desk, which was now disconnected.
A faint smile flashed in her eyes.
'jin!'
'I… can still help you~'
