Resentful Souls (3)

Fanxin was worried that Straw Hat Luffy trouble, so as soon as he got to her side, she knocked him Fanxin and threw him into the Diamond Space.

He can't let go of Straw Hat Luffy now, because that kid is so stubborn! If you don't restrain him, he'll definitely charge around recklessly.

By then, he won't be able to save any of them.

"Alright, the deal's done. We'll be going now." Fanxin looked at Ace and said, "Don't worry! I'll go to Marineford, and then I'll rescue you again."

Actually, there was something he didn't tell Ace: even if I rescued you, I would still take you there. Because he always wanted to go to Marine Headquarters. His goal was to settle scores with Akainu. Although he knew he might not be Akainu's match, he could still fight him to test his strength.

Now is a golden opportunity. With the Whitebeard Pirates in command, the Navy will undoubtedly focus all its efforts on targeting them. This will give him a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Now that Ace has been captured, he feels no disappointment, but rather even more interested, because he no longer needs to worry about anything.

"No need, just take my brother with you," Fire Fist Ace said.

"Hehe, don't worry! I'll take him out of the Impel Down." Fanxin Xin chuckled, then without further hesitation, he immediately left and headed into the prison.

He was blocked at the door by the tall man, and he couldn't force his way in. Rather than do that, he decided to rest inside a little longer. He would wait until the guards lowered their guard before taking the man away.

The tall man didn't give chase. He took out Den Den Mushi, dialed Magellan's number, and said, "Hey, Magellan, what did you do? You let that brat Fanxin get away."

He was very dissatisfied. If Magellan hadn't acted incompetently, he could have completely eliminated Ace and the others. However, Fanxin's strange abilities were putting him in a difficult position.

Although he wasn't afraid, he couldn't possibly stay here day and night! If he wasn't here, Fanxin would definitely escape, and no one could do anything about it.

Therefore, in any case, Fanxin must die. Once he dies, all troubles will be gone.

He summoned Magellan, intending for him to exert his strength again and capture Fanxin. He guarded the door, preventing Fanxin from escaping. And if Magellan focused his efforts, he would surely be able to execute Fanxin.

"Oh, sorry! I was trapped by his attack. Don't worry! I've escaped and am on my way up." Magellan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

He wasn't dead, he was just trapped. The power of the Dragon-Slaying Sword was astonishing, and he couldn't get out for the time being. So, he was trapped inside, unable to move.

Now, he has finally escaped his predicament through his own abilities.

He's rushing up there with a grim expression, ready to give Fanxin a good beating. Because Fanxin almost killed him!

He had never been injured since becoming director. His Fanxin had caused him such a great loss and setback; naturally, he wouldn't give up easily.

"He's heading downstairs, you'll have to deal with him yourself! I've taken care of the entrance. Oh, and by the way, I caught Fire Fist Ace." The tall man nodded and said.

"Oh, you caught him? That's good. Now, use Seastone to lock him up! At the same time, imprison him on the first floor, and you will guard him. That Fanxin's abilities are too strange; if Ace is imprisoned downstairs, I'm worried he'll be rescued again." Magellan nodded and said.

Fanxin rescued Ace and Jinbe right under his nose—an ability no one else possesses! If he hadn't happened to be checking things out down there and encountered Fanxin, Ace and Jinbe might very well have already been taken away by Fanxin.

Therefore, he decided that the two of them would guard Ace until the Navy retrieved him, thus preventing Fanxin from succeeding. Once Ace was taken away by the Navy, they could finally relax completely.

At that point, they can go all out and target Fanxin.

He did this to save face for the Navy. News of Ace's execution had spread throughout the world; if Ace escaped, it would be a significant blow to the Navy.

Therefore, this is their top priority. They must uphold the Navy's reputation first, no matter what. Once Ace is executed as scheduled, they will have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, I understand." The tall man nodded and said.

He didn't object because he had witnessed Fanxin's strange abilities before! If he hadn't used his Haki, he wouldn't have known where Fanxin was at all.

However, he can't use his Haki all the time, because it's extremely energy-consuming. If he runs out of strength, how can he deal with powerful enemies?

Therefore, he also had to be wary of Fanxin, who was a troublesome fellow.

"Thank you." Magellan nodded and immediately turned off the Den Den Mushi. Then, he headed up to the third floor.

The tall man summoned several jailers and ordered them to put handcuffs and shackles on Fire Fist Ace.

Once everything was settled, the tall man locked Ace in his cell. He then sat in front of the cell, waiting for him.

"Fanxin, what should we do now?" Wang Yan asked. "That man is blocking the doorway; we can't get out from there!"

The man was very strong. Although Wang Yan didn't fight him, she understood that she was no match for him. If they were to clash, she would undoubtedly lose.

"That's true, we have to find a way." Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "We need to investigate whether the Impel Down has any other exits. If so, we can get out from there."

It was impossible for him to leave through the door. The tall man was aware of his strangeness, and to stop him, he would sit at the door, waiting sternly.

Once he gets there, no matter how well he disguises himself, the other party will likely discover him. Once discovered, he won't be able to leave.

Therefore, he couldn't continue down that road. It was definitely a dead end. He didn't want to head down a dead end.

"Another way out? What way out? This place seems to be closed off. It's covered in Seastone everywhere, we have no other way to go!" Wang Yan shook his head and said.

"That's not necessarily true." Fanxin immediately shook his head upon hearing this.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Wang Yan was stunned upon hearing this and asked.

"Think about it, so many people live here, where does all the garbage go, and where does their food come from? We don't know any of these things. So, we must find out, maybe we can get some inspiration from it," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

The Impel Down was huge, and with so many people living there, it was impossible for them not to eat, drink, or relieve themselves. Unless everyone in the prison was dead. However, that was clearly not the case. He glanced around and saw that there were quite a few people inside.

Therefore, they must need a lot of necessities. And if they can get clues from here, it might not be difficult for them to get out.

"Oh, right, how come I didn't think of that?" Wang Yan said, Satori what he meant.

They knew nothing about these things, and she couldn't say for sure that these weren't clues! If they went to search, they might actually find something useful.

"How about we arrest a few jailers and interrogate them?" Wang Yan said.

The prison guards are undoubtedly the ones who know the prison situation best! They've worked here for a long time, so they must know everything that happens inside. If they just grab a few, they should be able to interrogate them and get the information out of them.

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

Wang Yan nodded, and then she began her search. Soon after, she found several prison guards in uniform. Without hesitation, Wang Yan rushed over and knocked them unconscious. Then, she brought the guards over and handed them to Fanxin.

Without saying a word, Fanxin threw it directly into the Diamond Space.

"Let's go, let's hide now," Fanxin shouted.

Now they can't run around, because the jailers are after them. If their whereabouts are exposed, it will attract a lot of attention. Then they'll be in trouble. They'll be chased relentlessly.

After running for a while, Fanxin Xin immediately put Wang Yan and Bingfeng into the Diamond Space as well.

Then, he himself transformed into a soul. After settling everything, he strolled around leisurely outside.

After wandering around for a while, he ran into Magellan, who was walking uphill.

However, Fanxin did not go out to fight the other party, because his most important task now was to protect himself and not reveal his identity.

Magellan didn't die, so once he's exposed, they'll hunt him down with all their might. He's thoroughly enraged Magellan.

Magellan didn't use his Haki perception, so he didn't detect Fanxin's figure. He passed right by Fanxin Xin.

After Magellan left, Fanxin Xin immediately headed down.

Upon reaching the third level, Fanxin found a secluded spot and hid himself. Then, his soul entered the Diamond Space.

Upon entering the Diamond Space, Fanxin Xin immediately merged with his body. Then, he headed towards Wang Yan and Bingfeng.

"Have you interrogated them? Have you gotten any useful information?" Fanxin Xin asked immediately as soon as he reached Wang Yan and Bingfeng's side.

When he took Wang Yan and Bingfeng into the Diamond Space, he instructed them to interrogate the jailers and extract information from them.

He desperately needed to find a second way to escape. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to confront Magellan and the towering man head-on.

He couldn't handle one, let alone two! So, this approach was completely unworkable. Therefore, he had to find another way.

"Yes, they've been interrogated, and they've all spoken," Wang Yan nodded and said with a smile.

"Oh, really? Tell me, is there any other way out?" Fanxin Xin asked immediately upon hearing this. He wanted to know as soon as possible so he could leave this place quickly. Otherwise, he would miss a good show.

The Whitebeard Pirates versus the Marines—this is a war that will go down in history! After this battle, the world will be drastically changed. He must be there to see how this final battle unfolds. If he misses it, he will regret it immensely.

"Fanxin, they said their food supplies come from the sea," Wang Yan said.

"Oh, tell me more about it," Fanxin asked.

"Okay, there are a type of prison guard in the prison called Blue Gorilla. They can navigate the deep sea and fight Sea Kings. These Blue Gorilla have been domesticated by humans and completely obey their commands. So, they only need to give the order, and the Blue Gorilla will go into the deep sea to hunt Sea Kings and supplement their meat supply," Wang Yan said.

"I see. So where is that gap?" Fanxin asked.

"It's on the fourth floor," Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Oh, really? That's great. Now we can leave this place." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

The deep sea is deadly for humans and those with special abilities. But for him, it's not. He can swim in the deep sea! There's absolutely no need to be afraid of the water.

He could escape from the Impel Down if he found a breach. Even if Magellan and the tall man wanted to pursue him, it would be impossible.

"That's true. For others, it's a dead end. But for you, it's a path to survival," Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, that way we can leave the Impel Down directly and head towards Marine Headquarters," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Okay, shall we leave now?" Wang Yan nodded and asked.

"Not now, I still have some things to take care of," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

"I'm preparing a big gift for the Navy; I think they'll love it," Fanxin said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan became even more puzzled, as he had no idea what grand gift Fanxin was preparing.

Seeing Wang Yan's puzzled frown, Fanxin smiled and explained, "I plan to take a group of people from the prison and send them to the Marine Headquarters. Hehe, that will make the battlefield even more interesting."

"You're really crazy!" Wang Yan said, his expression changing slightly upon hearing this.

Fanxin's actions have caused considerable trouble for the Navy. Now, the Navy not only has to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates members, but also with these prisoners. If they lack sufficient manpower, they are very likely to lose this major battle.

"Hmph, I'll make them understand the consequences of offending my Soul Clan," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Sigh, whatever! Anyway, we've already found a way out, so do whatever you want with it!" Wang Yan said indifferently.

She had been worried about being trapped, but now that they had found a way out, she was no longer concerned. Fanxin was very strong; even if he couldn't defeat Magellan, he wouldn't be killed. If Fanxin wanted to escape, Magellan wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Therefore, she wasn't worried about anything going wrong.

"Alright, I won't release those heinous bastards. I'm just grabbing a few to cause trouble for the Navy, nothing more," Fanxin said with a smile.

He wouldn't let those heinous bastards out, because they were all killing machines! If they were released, they would surely go on a killing spree. The Marine Headquarters would then be awash in blood. While he wanted to teach the Marines a lesson, his dissatisfaction was only with the Marine high command. He had no grudge against the marines, and he didn't want revenge.

Therefore, the criminals he released were not particularly powerful, so that they could cause trouble for the navy without causing major casualties.

Of course, there was another important reason why he didn't release those heinous bastards: he was afraid they would kill him. If he couldn't control those bastards, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.

If those guys gang up on him, his plan will be ruined.

"Okay, we understand. Be careful." Wang Yan nodded and said.

Fanxin nodded, stood up, and was about to go out to make preparations.

Suddenly, at that moment, the Straw Hat Boy woke up. He looked at Fanxin and shouted, "Where is my older brother?"

"He's been arrested and will soon be taken to Marine Headquarters," Fanxin said.

"Let me out! I want to save him!" Straw Hat Luffy shouted. His eyes were bloodshot, like a maddened beast.

He was deeply troubled. Every time, it was his older brother who rescued him, which caused him great pain. He had come here this time to be rescued, but in the end, he was the one rescued by his older brother. He didn't know what to say.

"You can't go out now, it's too dangerous outside," Fanxin shouted.

"I want to get out! Let me out!" the Straw Hat Boy roared.

"What can you do outside? Tell me, and if you can answer, I'll let you out," Fanxin snapped angrily.

Magellan and that tall man were already having some trouble dealing with him. Straw Hat Luffy over there now, he would definitely only face certain death.

He promised Ace he wouldn't let him die. He had to keep his word; otherwise, it would be a sign of his incompetence!

"I'm going to rescue him!" Straw Hat Luffy shouted.

"You're no match for them. Going there will only lead to your death," Fanxin shouted.

"None of your business, this is my problem," Straw Hat Luffy shouted.

"Hmph, you've lost your mind, haven't you?" Fanxin was furious. This guy was so stubborn. He had been captured once before, and he still didn't understand that he was no match for him. If he went over there now, he would only be dead.

"Let me out! Let me out!" Straw Hat Luffy yelled at Fanxin, ignoring all advice.

Fanxin pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, since you want to die, I'll let you out. But let me tell you, if you die, you'll never be able to save your elder brother."

If Straw Hat Luffy survives, he might still have a chance to rescue Ace when he reaches Marine Headquarters. This is because the Whitebeard Pirates will be there to hold off the Marines, allowing him to go and rescue Ace.

Now, there's no one here to restrain him; if he runs over there, he'll only face certain death.

"I want to go! Let me out!" the Straw Hat Boy shouted.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin no longer hesitated and immediately threw the Straw Hat Boy out. Since he wanted to die, there was nothing he could do about it.

After Luffy, Wang Yan looked at Fanxin and said, "What you're doing isn't a good idea! If he goes over there, he's practically asking for death!"

Straw Hat Luffy's strength is worlds apart from Magellan's. If he went there now, he would definitely not return.

"Sigh, he's the kind of person who won't give up until he hits a brick wall. Let him go! When he's beaten black and blue and on the verge of death, he'll naturally give up," Fanxin said helplessly.

He really wanted to stop him, but he knew he could only stop him temporarily, not forever! Straw Hat Luffy would definitely find an opportunity to leave from here.

He didn't have time to keep an eye on him alone. So, he had no choice but to let him go.

His goal was to teach Magellan a lesson, only then would Straw Hat Luffy realize how foolish his actions had been.

"What if he gets killed?" Wang Yan asked.

"Don't worry, I'll save him when he's on the verge of death," Fanxin said helplessly.

He had promised Ace, and he couldn't break his promise! Although he had let Straw Hat Boy out, he still had to keep an eye on him; only in this way could he ensure that Luffy didn't die.

"That's good, go ahead!" Wang Yan nodded slightly and said.

Fanxin hesitated for a moment, then immediately left and went outside.

He quickly headed in the direction Straw Hat Luffy had gone. He chased after him all the way and finally caught up with Straw Hat Luffy.

However, Straw Hat Luffy's luck ran out; he encountered Magellan as soon as he reached the second floor.

Magellan was furious when he saw Straw Hat Luffy, because several people had broken in over the past few days, which was a slap in his face! How could he not be angry?

The two started fighting immediately without exchanging any pleasantries upon meeting.

Fanxin sat to the side watching, neither making a move nor making a sound, because he didn't want to disturb the fight between Straw Hat Luffy and Magellan.

Although Straw Hat Luffy isn't as strong as Magellan, he's still incredibly agile. Having gone through so much, he's grown a lot as well.

Magellan hasn't managed to subdue Straw Hat Luffy in a short time, which shows that Luffy is no ordinary criminal! He's quite strong.

If he gets caught, he'll be locked up on at least the fifth floor, or even the sixth.

The two fought fiercely, but Straw Hat Luffy was ultimately outmatched. Magellan was poisonous, making things difficult regardless of whether Luffy fought him or not.

For Straw Hat Luffy to defeat Magellan, he must attack his body. If he doesn't, he won't be able to defeat Magellan and continue on his way.

His brother is currently imprisoned on the first level, and he must get there! Therefore, Magellan is the biggest obstacle. He has to intervene no matter what. However, Magellan is a treacherous man, and he will only suffer losses.
