Choosing People (3)

"That's good. Let them fight if they want to! It's like dogs fighting, they can't hurt us anyway," Inazuma nodded and said.

They've lived here for many years, and they rarely help pirates. Even when pirates are killed by Magellan or the jailers, they turn a blind eye.

They didn't want to meddle. If they did, their identities and hiding places would be exposed, and Magellan would be brought here, and they would all die.

Therefore, they could only turn a blind eye. This is why they've been here for so many years without incident—it's because they've kept a very low profile!

Even when they were outside, they were very mysterious, making others think they were ghosts. That way, the jailers wouldn't bother them.

"That makes sense, then let's leave it at that! We shouldn't concern ourselves with what's happening over there." Fanxin nodded and said.

"Okay, that's good." Inazuma nodded and said.

"Oh, by the way, how's Straw Hat Boy?" Fanxin asked curiously.

He'd been walking for hours, and he had no idea how Straw Hat Boy was doing. If he'd made it, all would be well. If he hadn't, then he'd have to collect Straw Hat Boy's body. There was nothing he could do about it, because he'd been poisoned with a potent and deadly toxin!

If even researchers can't solve the problem, then he can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

"Not yet. His poisoning is too deep; it will take at least several days," Inazuma said, immediately shaking his head.

Even ordinary poisons take quite some time to cure. But the poison inside the Straw Hat Boy's body is far more potent and potent, so it will take him even longer.

"Sigh, hopefully he can pull through! If he doesn't, that would be a real problem," Fanxin said helplessly. He couldn't help now, he could only pray. He hoped Straw Hat Luffy would survive, because Fire Fist Ace was in critical condition! Whether he could be rescued was still unknown.

He was taken to Marine Headquarters, where the Whitebeard Pirates were present. However, the Marines also had Three Admirals and Shichibukai! In comparison, the situation was similar to that inside Impel Down.

Therefore, he didn't hold out much hope that Fire Fist Ace could be rescued. He had failed to protect Ace, so naturally he had to protect Straw Hat Boy. But he was powerless to do so now. Therefore, he felt that his operation this time was a complete failure, a total failure.

"This can't be forced; you can only look at the result," Inazuma comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin could only sigh helplessly.

The two then drank there, waiting patiently.

Inside the cave, the Straw Hat Boy was still howling, his body completely stained red with blood, a horrifying sight.

He was still struggling there, because the pain all over his body forced him to struggle.

His voice was like the roar of a wild beast, and it never stopped. It was unclear how long this would last, and it was heartbreaking to watch.

However anxious he was, he had to persevere. His life hung in the balance!

Outside the cave, Bon Clay kept shouting "Go, Straw Hat!" without stopping. He didn't even want to eat or drink anything, because he was worried that Straw Hat Boy would give up halfway and die in the end.

He kept shouting "Go for it!" to encourage the Straw Hat Boy not to give up. Perseverance leads to victory!

Whether the Straw Hat Boy heard it or not, he persisted. His mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse, but he never gave up.

Straw Hat Boy is truly blessed to have friends like that.

Just as Straw Hat Luffy was going through a life-or-death battle, the Marines finally arrived on the first floor. They were preparing to take Portgas D. Ace to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

With less than a day left until Ace's execution, they had to escort Ace to Marine Headquarters in advance to ensure they wouldn't miss the execution deadline!

The Navy personnel escorted Fire Fist Ace onto the ship, and then they left.

As they left, they were escorted by several warships. They called for so many warships because they were worried that the Whitebeard Pirates might launch a sneak attack on them en route.

They had to be on guard because just a few days ago, they had completely lost contact with the Whitebeard Pirates and didn't know where they had gone.

If the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly appeared here, they wouldn't find it strange at all.

Therefore, they must be on high alert; only in this way can they safely escort Fire Fist Ace to Marine Headquarters. Otherwise, Ace might be kidnapped on the way.

After Ace was taken away, the Impel Down immediately sealed off the surrounding area and began to suppress the prisoner rebellion.

The prisoners inside have begun to break free and are attacking people everywhere. They must go and suppress them, otherwise, who knows how many prison guards will be killed.

The tall man didn't go; he sat by the door, waiting patiently. With him there, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to leave. His strength was formidable enough!

By blocking the area, he had completely dashed those people's hopes. This would allow the jailers to take action, arrest the criminals, and send them back to their cells.

The prison guards, fully Armament, began their operation.

Meanwhile, the prisoners inside the jail also began to make their own moves; one side wanted to move up, and the other wanted to move down. When the two sides met, they naturally wouldn't shake hands and make peace.

The two sides immediately began fighting upon meeting. Neither side stopped, and each attack was ruthless. Initially, both sides sustained injuries.

However, the criminals became even more frantic because if they couldn't escape, they would be kept in custody, or even subjected to severe torture. They had already endured it once and didn't want to go through it again. So, they had no choice but to fight desperately.

The jailers saw that the criminals had gone mad, so they had to step up their efforts! Otherwise, things would be dire.

However, the number of prisoners who escaped was far more than just the few dozen from the sixth floor; there were also criminals from the fifth, fourth, third, and other floors.

The guys on the sixth floor weren't stupid either. They knew that escaping the Impel Down on their own was impossible. However, if they gained allies, their chances of success would be much greater.

So they stole the jailer's keys and released all the prisoners from the other floors.

The released prisoners naturally fought with all their might. They wanted to escape too! This place was Hell on Earth; staying here would surely drive them insane. They didn't want to be driven mad.

So, as time went on, more and more prisoners escaped, and the jailers suddenly found themselves in big trouble.

However, they did not give up, because it was their duty.

Behind him, Magellan was giving chase with all his might, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

This time, Magellan showed no mercy; he didn't hesitate to kill any criminal. Now, the entire prison was in chaos, and he couldn't quell the unrest without taking drastic measures.

Many prisoners lost their lives under his brutality. However, even so, the prisoners did not give up their resistance, because they also had skilled fighters on their side! As long as their skilled fighters were not suppressed, they still had hope.

Therefore, this incident is unlikely to subside anytime soon.

"It's chaos, complete chaos." In the monitoring room of the Newkama Land, Inazuma looked at the screen and said in shock.

Earlier, something happened in the prison, and someone came to report it to him, asking him to come and take a look. So, he brought Fanxin with him. Seeing the chaos in the prison, with guards and prisoners fighting each other, he didn't know what to say.

"I didn't release them. I only released about a dozen people," Fanxin said with an awkward smile.

He did indeed release only a dozen or so people, but those dozen or so people released hundreds or even thousands of prisoners! The reason for this was precisely because he released those people, which led to this situation! That's why he felt embarrassed.

"Nothing would have happened if you hadn't released those dozen or so people!" Inazuma said.

"Alright, alright, things are already like this, there's no point in complaining anymore. Let's just watch the show!" Fanxin said, "And while we're at it, let's also see how strong the Impel Down is."

Now that things had come to this, he couldn't possibly step in to stop them, because he didn't want to help Magellan and the others! These guys were too hateful; they had actually chased him all the way here. Naturally, he didn't like them.

Besides, even if he gets there, it won't make a difference. Magellan certainly won't be grateful to him. On the contrary, Magellan will definitely abandon the rest and attack him instead. Because Magellan hates him!

Therefore, he won't go. Even if the prisoners do escape, he'll just watch and won't do anything else.

"That's true, let's just watch! Anyway, it's like dogs fighting, they can't hurt us." Inazuma nodded helplessly upon hearing this.

Fanxin wasn't Revolutionary Army, so he couldn't comment on the other party. Besides, the other party seemed stronger than him, and he didn't want to force Fanxin to fight him.

Fanxin and Inazuma just stood there watching, doing nothing else.

More than ten hours later, the riot was suppressed. Magellan and his men were more skilled, while the prisoners were slightly inferior. Many of them were killed by Magellan's poison, and the few remaining were terrified by Magellan's ferocity and dared not resist anymore.

What made the prisoners even more desperate was that a skilled fighter was guarding the exit on the first floor. They simply couldn't win!

Behind them, Magellan, the tiger, was in pursuit. They had only two paths: surrender or be killed.

Although staying in prison meant they would eventually die anyway, they didn't want to die so soon. So, they eventually gave up resisting and obediently returned to their cell.

"Sigh, the prison's forces are really strong!" Fanxin said with a sigh after reading it.

He released over a dozen powerful fighters, but they still couldn't defeat Magellan and that tall man. With these two in charge inside the Impel Down, it was practically foolproof.

It would be extremely difficult for others to break through.

"Yes, I saw it just now. The prison is indeed terrifying," Inazuma nodded in agreement.

"So what are you planning to do? Are you coming with me, or staying here and waiting for an opportunity?" Fanxin asked curiously. His method would completely bypass Magellan and the tall man; without these two obstacles, leaving would be a piece of cake.

There was absolutely no problem with the Revolutionary Army following him. He placed them inside the Diamond Space, then left by water himself; Magellan and the tall man couldn't stop him anyway.

If the Revolutionary Army soldiers didn't follow him and wanted to escape on their own, it would be extremely difficult. They would have to face both Magellan and the towering man – two formidable figures!

If they defeated them, they could easily leave. If they failed, the consequences would be the same as for the prisoners in this operation: either they would be killed or imprisoned.

"We still need to discuss this. If we're willing to follow you, we'd like to lend a hand," Inazuma said. His words were ambiguous, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. However, he had already secured Fanxin's support. Because he had said he wanted Fanxin to lend a hand! He hadn't cut off Fanxin's path.

If he doesn't cut off this path, then they might be able to board Fanxin's ship and leave. At that point, it will be impossible for Fanxin to shake them off.

"Alright, I'll wait," Fanxin Xin nodded and said.

He didn't care whether Inazuma agreed or not; it was a trivial matter to him. If they wanted to leave, he would take them; if they refused, he would let them go—it was that simple.

"Okay," Inazuma nodded in agreement.

Just as they were discussing, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Inazuma and Fanxin were immediately surprised, wondering what had happened. They then went out to investigate.

As soon as they got outside, they saw many people carrying food. They had moved all the food from the warehouse to the cave.

"Who would eat so much?" Inazuma frowned slightly and said. They didn't have any big eaters here; there was no way they could possibly eat this much.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin immediately laughed and said, "Who else could it be but Straw Hat Luffy!"

Straw Hat Luffy is known for his enormous appetite; if he's hungry, he'll eat the whole plate without hesitation, and he can't wait even a moment longer. He's had a contest with this opponent, and he was no match for him.

Now, everyone is carrying food, which must be because the Straw Hat Boy wants something to eat. Only this explanation makes sense!

"Straw Hat Boy? Wasn't he trying to detoxify?" Inazuma asked, somewhat incredulous. The Straw Hat Boy's poisoning was so severe that it would take at least several days to clear his system. But only twenty hours had passed, not even a full day. He found it hard to believe.

"Hehe, he's all better now." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Don't be skeptical. Straw Hat Boy isn't an ordinary person. His grandfather is Vice Admiral Garp, and his father is Dragon. With two such powerful elders, how could his bloodline power be weak? I believe he was able to detoxify himself in such a short time."

Garp's strength is comparable to that of Admiral, and Dragon's strength is naturally not far behind. After all, he is the leader of the Revolutionary Army! If he were weak, the Revolutionary Army he founded would have been wiped out by the Navy long ago.

As their junior, Luffy's bloodline and aptitude are certainly not lacking. Fanxin Xin even suspects that this kid might possess Conqueror's Haki's Haki. If so, then their family is truly terrifying.

"I still don't quite believe it," Inazuma said, shaking his head.

"In that case, let's go take a look," Fanxin Xin said with a smile.

Inazuma, upon hearing this, also agreed that it made sense.

Then, he and Fanxin headed towards the cave.

Soon they arrived at the cave entrance. A large crowd had gathered there, each carrying food, waiting.

Inside the cave, two retractable hands constantly stretched and shortened, taking food from the transvestites' hands. Those hands never stopped; their owner seemed to be swallowing food without chewing, because the eating speed was simply too fast.

Seeing the outstretched and retracted hands, Fanxin immediately laughed and said, "It's definitely Straw Hat Boy. He has successfully detoxified himself."

The Straw Hat Boy's body is made of rubber; it can stretch and shrink. He's never heard of anyone else having this ability.

"It's unbelievable! The poison in his body was removed in less than a day!" Inazuma exclaimed in shock.

He no longer had any doubts, because when he watched the surveillance footage, he saw Straw Hat Luffy fighting! His arms could extend and retract. Secondly, the person imprisoned in the cave was indeed Straw Hat Luffy; the conclusion was obvious.

"Hmph, I have no doubt that he has the ability," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

His concern was that the Straw Hat Boy wouldn't be able to hold on, because this was a test of his willpower! If his willpower wasn't strong, he would easily be defeated. As long as he persevered, the Straw Hat Boy would definitely be able to get rid of the poison.

"He is indeed extraordinary. It seems what you said earlier was true," Inazuma said.

Fanxin had previously said that Luffy was their leader's son. He didn't believe it then, but now he was starting to believe it. Because the Straw Hat Boy had that kind of talent; his bloodline power was so strong, which was the best proof.
