"Ah~"
"I'm full, I'm full!"
With his belly round and swollen, Luffy showed an extremely satisfied expression.
After eating so much, he would definitely last until Ace was rescued!
"You really can eat," Mr. 3 said, staring at Luffy in shock.
Just now, that ninja called jin had taken out a large amount of food from something called a sealing scroll.
That amount of food would have lasted him at least a week.
Yet in less than ten minutes, all of it had gone into Straw Hat's stomach?
"Gahahaha! Doesn't that just prove Straw-chan has strong vitality?" Bon Clay laughed loudly.
Mr. 3: "…"
Was there really any connection between eating a lot and having strong vitality?
He did not understand.
He truly did not understand.
"Haa~"
"At a time like this, it would be perfect if I could have a sip of wine," Buggy said while picking his teeth.
"Now you're getting picky."
jin said irritably,
"Do you want me to mix you a cocktail too?"
"Yahahaha! If possible, that would be even better."
jin: ???
Was this guy actually planning to have him mix a drink?
Noticing that jin's gaze was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Buggy coughed lightly and said,
"Ahem. Let's save the drinking for after we get out. Rescue first."
He felt that if he kept getting carried away, the man in front of him might beat him up.
So it was better to be sensible.
"All right, let's set out!"
"Eh?!"
Looking at Luffy, whose stomach had already digested all the food, Mr. 3 immediately showed a shocked expression.
"His stomach… his stomach shrank!"
No, how much time had passed?
This man had already digested all the food in his stomach?
Buggy also showed a surprised expression and carefully sized up Luffy.
As a man who had once stayed on the Pirate King's ship, Buggy understood very well what this kind of ability meant.
It could be said that this brat had the potential to become a strong person.
'Is this one of the reasons that bastard Shanks took a liking to him?'
Buggy thought inwardly.
Thinking back to the phrase Straw Hat loved shouting the most, Buggy sank into thought.
'Pirate King, huh.'
"Straw-chan truly surprises me~" Bon Clay said.
This was also the first time he had seen someone with such powerful digestion.
"You've all eaten enough, right?"
jin glanced at Bon Clay and the others.
"We're full."
"Good."
jin nodded. After putting away everything on the ground, he said,
"Next, we won't have time to rest. We need to charge down in one go."
According to Bon Clay, Warden Magellan usually stayed stationed on Level Four.
In other words, once they entered Level Four, they might encounter the Venom-Venom Fruit user!
When that time came, they would have to throw themselves into an intense battle.
"No problem!" the others nodded.
They were already satisfied to have eaten something here and recovered their strength. They did not hope for anything more.
At that moment, jin froze briefly, then grinned.
"Good. Looks like my final worry has disappeared too."
Just now, the shadow clone he left outside sent back information.
At this moment, Hancock had already boarded the Marine warship. Before long, she would leave this place together with Vice Admiral Momonga.
'Without the Sea-Prism Stone restraints, even if the Marines suspect Hancock, they won't dare make a move against her so easily.'
jin muttered inwardly.
After all… Hancock's strength was truly formidable.
Having fought her before, jin understood that very clearly.
"What are you talking about?"
Buggy looked at jin in confusion.
"What final worry disappeared?"
"Nothing. I just thought of something."
jin shook his head.
This matter involved Hancock's safety, so he would not explain the specific situation to Buggy and the others.
Buggy frowned, but he did not say anything. He simply nodded.
If the other party did not plan to talk, forcing him would be meaningless.
"Compared to that, there's something I care about more," Mr. 3 said.
"What is it?"
"Why haven't we encountered any jailers or jailer beasts since entering Level Three?" Mr. 3 asked in confusion. "Did those guys all go to other levels?"
Although Level Three was huge and the environment was terrible, that should not be a reason for them not to come here.
"Maybe they're all waiting for us down on Level Four," jin guessed.
Mr. 3: "…"
No, that was even more terrifying!
If that was the case, wouldn't they have to face all of Impel Down's forces on Level Four?
Although jin had said he could stop Magellan, Magellan was not the only powerful one here!
Thinking of this, Mr. 3 felt his balls ache.
"Even if that's true, we still have to go down!" Luffy said. "Anyone who dares stop me will get sent flying!"
Whether it was the jailers here or the jailer beasts, none of them could stop him from saving his brother!
"Yeah!"
"Straw-chan, I'll work hard with you too!"
"Let's go. First, find the entrance you mentioned," jin said.
The others nodded and quickly followed jin out of the cell area, returning to the street.
However, after they stepped outside, Mr. 3 froze.
"Bluegori?!"
"Why are there so many Bluegori?!"
Looking at the Bluegori surrounding them from the distance, Mr. 3's legs began trembling.
"Looks like they didn't fail to discover us. They were gathering forces to encircle us," jin said with a grin.
"Who cares? We'll just fight our way through!"
After saying this, Luffy rushed forward without hesitation.
"Everyone, get out of my way!"
"Gum-Gum Gatling!"
Da-da-da-da!
A storm of fists sent several Bluegori flying, smashing them straight into some of the cells.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"I'll help you too, Straw-chan!"
Bon Clay laughed loudly and rushed forward, attacking the Bluegori.
"Okama Kenpo: Dance Ballet!"
Da-da-da!
His terrifying long legs danced rapidly through the air, sending several Bluegori flying away.
After smashing heavily into the sand, their heads tilted to the side and they lost consciousness.
"All right, you two, stop standing there in a daze."
jin patted the two people beside him and said,
"Otherwise, don't blame me if you get caught."
After that, jin did not care whether the two answered or not. He quickly rushed in the direction of Luffy and the others.
"Hurry up and follow! I don't want to get captured again!"
"Me neither!"
The two exchanged a glance, then quickly followed jin and rushed forward. Soon, they left the area.
"Damn it. As expected, the Bluegori can't stop them."
Hiding in the shadows and watching the scene, Saldeath said with an ugly expression,
"Looks like we'll need to borrow the power of those four jailer beasts after all."
As the commander of the Bluegori, Saldeath understood their strength very well.
If a large group of Bluegori was deployed, even pirates with bounties over one hundred million would be captured.
But against these guys, the Bluegori were like paper, easily defeated.
This made Saldeath extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
"Lord Saldeath, what should we do?"
A jailer standing beside Saldeath asked,
"Should we chase them?"
"Chase?"
"How are we supposed to chase them?"
"Didn't you see the Bluegori couldn't stop them at all?"
Saldeath pointed at the backs of the people in the distance.
"With their strength, they can definitely kill all of us."
He was not stupid. Naturally, he would not go capture people under such circumstances.
Strong enemies should naturally be dealt with by strong people.
Hearing this, the jailer looked at the Bluegori lying on the ground, then glanced at Saldeath, who was less than one meter tall.
"Yes, I understand."
Lord Saldeath himself was not very strong. He had only become Chief Guard because he could control the Bluegori.
If the Bluegori were ineffective, then he himself would lose his use.
Thinking of this, the jailer silently sighed.
He only hoped Warden Magellan would discover the enemy's tracks in time and eliminate them.
"I wonder how things are on Warden Magellan's side," Saldeath said.
"We couldn't contact him earlier," the jailer said. "He may still be with Fire Fist Ace."
"Tch. They really know how to cause trouble for us."
Thinking of Boa Hancock, Saldeath felt extremely annoyed.
If not for that woman, Warden Magellan would have had time to come up and capture those pirates long ago.
Now look. Because of that woman, the enemy had already reached Level Three.
At that moment, the Transponder Snail in Saldeath's arms suddenly rang.
Buru buru buru~
Buru buru buru~
Buru buru buru~
Kacha.
After taking out the Transponder Snail and answering it, Saldeath said,
"This is Saldeath!"
"This is Magellan."
"Warden Magellan!"
Hearing Magellan's voice, Saldeath immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked,
"Has that woman already left?"
"Mm. Domino has already escorted her to the surface," Magellan said. "How are things on your side? Have you captured them?"
"No. They are very strong. The Bluegori are not their opponents."
"I see."
Hearing this, Magellan thought for a moment before saying,
"In that case, go to Level Two and suppress the riot there."
With Saldeath and the Bluegori's strength, they indeed could not capture those guys.
After all… the Blood-Eyed Ninja possessed an ability suspected to be an immortal body.
Such a person had to be dealt with personally by him if there was any chance of killing him.
"A riot broke out on Level Two?"
Saldeath frowned.
"What happened?"
Why would Level Two suddenly break into a riot?
Could it be that before these guys entered Level Three, they released a large number of pirates?
"I think… before entering Level Three, they used the keys in the monitor room to open the prisoners' cells," Magellan said.
"They wanted the pirates on Level Two to cause a riot and attract our attention?"
After hearing Magellan's explanation, Saldeath immediately understood the enemy's thinking.
A riot on Level Two would indeed cause them a lot of trouble. At the very least, they would need to dispatch a large number of forces to solve the problem.
In that way, the forces available to encircle the intruders would decrease.
'They really made a good calculation.'
Saldeath muttered inwardly.
From the enemy's perspective, this was indeed the best method.
Unfortunately, even if they drew the jailers to Level Two, it would not change their final fate.
After all… this was Impel Down, a prison that could never be breached.
As long as Warden Magellan was still here, those guys would never be able to rescue Fire Fist Ace!
Thinking this, Saldeath said,
"Warden, I'll leave the intruders to you. I'll take the Bluegori to suppress the riot on Level Two."
"Good."
Kacha.
"Haa~"
After letting out a long breath, Magellan said,
"They really are a group of reckless pirates."
At that moment, Little Sadi walked in with three jailer beasts.
"Warden, shall we be deployed next?"
"Mm~"
"I've already prepared myself for the hunt~"
Hearing this, Magellan glanced at Little Sadi and asked,
"Why are there only four of you? Where is Minotaurus?"
"Mm~"
"Minotaurus has already gone to Level Three."
"I see."
Magellan thought for a moment, then said,
"Letting Minotaurus test them is fine too."
"Test them?"
Little Sadi froze.
Why did they need to be tested?
"Mm."
Magellan nodded.
"The other pirates are one thing. Minotaurus should be able to defeat them."
"But that Blood-Eyed Ninja…"
Recalling the intelligence on the Blood-Eyed Ninja, Magellan frowned.
Seeing Magellan frown, Little Sadi asked curiously,
"Is there something wrong with him?"
"Not long ago, Marine Headquarters sent information saying this man possesses an ability similar to immortality," Magellan said. "Minotaurus may not be his opponent."
Although Magellan had found the information absurd when he saw it, since it came from Marine Headquarters, it should be true.
In that case… Minotaurus would be unable to kill the other party.
Of course, it would not be easy for the enemy to kill Minotaurus either.
After all… Minotaurus was a failed awakened Zoan Devil Fruit user. Although he had lost his human consciousness, his powerful recovery ability still remained.
As long as his head was not chopped off on the spot, he would be able to stand back up before long.
This was also the reason those four jailer beasts were so powerful.
'It's his Water Release ability that's troublesome.'
Magellan frowned.
He did not know whether this man could summon seawater out of thin air.
If he could, then for Devil Fruit users like them, it would be a disaster.
Thinking of this, Magellan's frown deepened.
"He's actually immortal?!"
"Mm~"
"That makes me so excited!"
As if imagining something, Little Sadi unconsciously pressed her legs together, and a blush appeared on her face.
Magellan: ???
What strange thing had this woman thought of now?
"Warden Magellan, can you hand him over to me?"
Little Sadi covered her face and said,
"I can't wait to hear his screams~"
"Mm~"
A punching bag that could never be whipped to death. Wasn't that wonderful?
As for whether Minotaurus would be beaten to death?
In Little Sadi's impression, the four failed awakened Zoan Devil Fruit users could not be killed. No matter how powerful the attack that struck them was, they would eventually stand back up.
So Little Sadi was not worried about Minotaurus's safety.
The only thing she cared about now was whether she could get that man who could not be whipped to death!
"You…"
Looking at Little Sadi, who was covering her face and twisting around, Magellan showed an indescribable expression.
Was this really all right?
Although he knew Little Sadi's hobbies, an unkillable person was not meant to be used for that kind of thing.
"Mm~"
"Can't you, Warden~?"
"That depends on whether he gets killed by me when the time comes," Magellan said.
Although he did not know what kind of ability this suspected immortality was, his poison was the natural enemy of all living creatures.
As long as he added enough poison, even an immortal body would have to fall.
So… there was a chance the other party might be killed by him directly.
"How can you be like that?"
Little Sadi was somewhat dissatisfied.
A punching bag that could not be killed should obviously be handed over to her.
That way, she could hang him up and whip him every day.
"All right. This is not a joke," Magellan said with a stern face. "In short, take the three of them and guard the entrance to Level Five."
"If you encounter those guys, stop them and wait for me to support you. Understood?"
The strength of those three jailer beasts was not weak. They should be able to hold on until he arrived.
"Mm~"
"I understand!"
After receiving the order, Little Sadi raised the corners of her mouth. Then she led her three subordinates away.
'If I capture him myself, then that guy will belong to me, right~?'
Little Sadi thought secretly.
As if imagining something, Little Sadi made a pleased sound, and even her steps became much lighter.
"Mm~"
The three jailer beasts looked strangely at Little Sadi, clearly unable to understand what she was thinking.
But it did not matter. They did not need to understand. They only needed to carry out orders.
"What about me?"
Hannyabal, who had just been treated with an antidote, climbed up from the warden's seat and asked,
"Where do I go?"
"Why did you crawl into my seat again?!"
"Because I want to become warden…"
"Ah!"
"My ambition has been exposed!"
Magellan's mouth twitched. This bastard was thinking about his position no matter when it was.
Shaking his head speechlessly, Magellan said,
"You come with me to guard the entrance from Level Three. If those guys come down the stairs, we'll kill them!"
"What if they come down through the ventilation shaft?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Magellan grinned.
"Then I'll personally go kill them!"
A group of ignorant brats actually dared break into his Impel Down.
Just wait.
Once he caught them, he would send them to hell with terrifying poison!
Looking at Magellan's confident expression, a nearby jailer said,
"This is our warden!"
When Warden Magellan was not having diarrhea, he was truly reliable!
At that moment, Magellan's stomach suddenly growled.
Then the man's expression changed. He clutched his stomach and let out a pained groan.
"Not good. I feel it coming again!"
The jailers: "…"
Bastard, give them back the feeling they had just now!
"Prepare the portable toilet for me!"
"Yes!"
