Impel Down's Sixth Level, Welcome, Everyone!

Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office.

Sengoku stared at the three reports on the table, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The first card: Enel captures Shichibukai Hanafuda.

In the second part, Ron thwarted the Dressrosa coup, arresting Doflamingo and key members of his family.

The third one...

Sengoku saw the words "Jack the Drought," he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hanafuda, Doflamingo, Jack..."

"It's only been a few days?!"

The crane flipped through Caesar's notes without even looking up.

"We forgot Caesar."

"The SMILE wasn't even built yet, and Ron took over the entire production line."

Sengoku's face darkened.

"Kaido finds out, won't he tear Onigashima down?"

He grabbed the Den Den Mushi from the table and dialed Ron's private line.

"Ron! You've messed things up for me again!"

The sound of a teacup being gently set down came from the other end of the phone. Ron's voice was slow and leisurely. "Old man, it's only been a few days, and you already miss me?"

Stop being so cheeky!

Sengoku slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Two Shichibukai, one Animal Kingdoms All-Stars, and a fugitive scientist!"

"How am I supposed to explain this to the World Government?!"

Tell the truth.

Ron took a sip of tea.

"The Hanafuda massacre at the port, Doflamingo wanted to seize Dressrosa, but Jack made things easier by bringing his own ship over."

"I can't exactly file a workers' compensation claim for them, can I?"

For a Sengoku, they were speechless.

Then Ron spoke up again, "By the way, there's something I need to trouble Vice Admiral Tsuru."

He put down his pen, raised his eyes, and said, "Hmm? Speak."

"Sugar, one of Doflamingo's subordinates, has a rather troublesome ability."

"Even though she's handcuffed, she's got a lot on her mind."

"Vice Admiral Tsuru, could you please give her a bath later, so that this girl won't keep thinking about turning people into toys?"

Mary Geoise, Council Chamber.

A large Den Den Mushi) sits on the table, connected to Marineford.

The voice of the Sengoku occasionally drifted out from inside.

The World Government has been arguing about the fate of the two Shichibukai for almost half an hour.

"The Hanafuda massacre at Port is well-documented. The title of Shichibukai must be revoked!"

"Doflamingo is the same. He manipulated King Riku and plotted to seize the country. Do you think we should protect him?"

"Doflamingo was, after all, Celestial Dragons."

Another official lowered his voice.

"The Holy Land doesn't want him in Impel Down."

"So what?"

Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Let the CP take them away, and make them disappear along with the evidence?"

"The Navy is only responsible for the capture and execution; the subsequent trial will be handled entirely by the World Government."

Just as Sengoku was about to refute, he suddenly discovered that another line had been connected to the meeting.

"Wait, Ron? What are you doing, kid—"

"I didn't say you couldn't conduct the trial."

Everyone was taken aback, then they heard Ron's voice, tinged with amusement.

"Impel Down first. If you have any questions, just bring all the necessary documents and go in to ask."

"Vice Admiral Ron!"

The official raised his voice. "You have no right to decide the imprisonment of prisoners wanted by the World Government!"

"Then why don't you go and talk to King Riku first?"

Ron chuckled. "The old king is planning to send copies of all the evidence of Doflamingo's rebellion to all the Affiliated Nation."

"If you secretly take them away, I won't be able to help you when other countries ask about it."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

A moment later, the final decision was made: Hanafuda and Doflamingo were officially stripped of their Shichibukai and their crimes were announced to the world.

The two individuals and the officers involved were transferred from the Navy to Impel Down for detention, and relevant departments of the World Government can apply for interrogation according to procedures.

Ron nodded after hearing the report.

"Why didn't you just make that decision earlier?"

Sengoku snorted irritably on the other end of the phone, "Don't be so smug! If anything goes wrong on the way, I'll hold you responsible!"

"It's been delivered."

"What...?"

"Impel Down, huh? They were just sent there."

Sengoku opened his mouth.

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand?!"

Impel Down, Level 6, Infinite Hell.

Clang!

The iron gate opened, and two guards pushed the Hanafuda into the cell.

"Go inside! Behave yourself!"

The Seastone shackles dragged on the ground, making a clanging sound.

Hanafuda's body was still wrapped in bandages, all from the injuries inflicted by Enel's electric shock.

"You bastards! I'm Shichibukai! How dare you treat me like this?!"

The guard walked out without looking back.

"Previously, it was after the expulsion notice had been sent out all over the world."

"Bullshit! Once Kaido attacks, Impel Down will be completely destroyed!"

A familiar laugh suddenly came from the cell opposite.

"Fufu... Isn't this Hanafuda?"

Hanafuda suddenly turned its head.

Separated by cold iron bars, Doflamingo, who had been brought in earlier, sat against the wall, his face still bearing bruises from Ron's beating.

Doflamingo?!

Hanafuda's eyes widened.

"What are you doing here?!"

"It's my turn to ask you."

Doflamingo laughed so hard his shoulders shook, "I heard you were taken down by Ron's men? You didn't even get to see them?"

"You even provided Kaido with a lot of Ancient Zoan Fruits, and yet you couldn't even defeat a Rear Admiral?"

Hanafuda rushed to the prison door, gripping the bars tightly in anger.

"How dare you laugh at me?!"

"You got caught by Ron too! The entire Donquixote Family was implicated!"

Doflamingo's smile froze for a moment.

"At least I was caught by Ron himself."

"Is this some kind of trivial thing to brag about?!"

As the two were arguing, a heavy thud of wheels came from the other end of the corridor, mixed with the guard's complaints.

"Slow down, slow down! This thing is incredibly heavy!"

Several guards pushed a specially made reinforced iron cart over, on which sat a young man with his face covered in bandages.

His mouth was swollen so badly, his cheeks were puffed out, and he could barely speak.

Upon Hanafuda inspection, I almost thought I was seeing things.

"Jack?!"

Jack looked up and saw two familiar faces in the cell, and froze instantly.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

"What did you say? Speak louder!"

"Waaaaah! Waaaah!"

Hanafuda frowned and turned to the guard, asking, "What happened to his mouth? How did it get beaten up like this?"

"Fufu!"

Doflamingo laughed even harder, "Jack, you only got this badly beaten because you fought Ron to the death?"

"Fight to the death my ass."

The guard opened the cell door, pushed the man inside, and casually remarked.

"The Marines who escorted him said that the first punch broke an ivory tusk, and the kid still wasn't convinced."

"The second punch, and the other one was gone too."

Hanafuda was taken aback.

"Then what?"

"And then they wanted to surrender."

The guard shrugged.

"But his mouth was numb from being hit, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time."

"Vice Admiral Ron thought he was going to keep hitting him, so he threw another punch."

"..."

Hanafuda paused for two seconds.

"Pfft! Haha!"

"You took that third punch for nothing, didn't you?!"

Doflamingo also laughed out loud, but after only two laughs, he aggravated his rib injury.

"Hiss--!"

Jack was so angry that he kept pounding on the prison door.

"Waaaaah! Waaaah!"

What he meant was that he didn't even have time to make a move!

The more anxious he became, the less his mouth obeyed him, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"What's all the noise about!"

The guard tapped impatiently on the railing.

"This is Infinite Hell, not a pirate tavern!!"

The three cells finally fell silent for a moment.

Only Jack was still covering his mouth, humming softly.

The Donquixote Family's officers were also imprisoned in Impel Down.

Caesar the only one who didn't receive this treatment.

He was kept in solitary confinement at the naval base, and his heart was temporarily kept by Luo before being transferred to headquarters.

As for him personally, the Navy has already made arrangements for his whereabouts.

Vegapunk's research facilities.

Upon hearing that he was going to meet his "old colleague," Caesar nearly overturned the interrogation table on the spot.

"What?!"

"Vegapunk?! This genius would rather spend his entire life in Impel Down!!"

"I'm not going to that place!!"

New World, Onigashima.

Bang!

Kaido slammed the newspaper on the table.

"Hanafuda got arrested, and Jack got arrested too?!"

He grabbed the wine jug and took a big gulp.

"That piece of trash Doflamingo! He made all my money go down the drain!"

Queen stood to the side and spoke cautiously.

"Brother Kaido, there's something even more troublesome."

"The transport route for the Ancient Zoan fruits has been exposed, and Caesar has been captured."

"It seems the Artificial Devil Fruits in Dressrosa are completely out of the question."

"Ron... it's Ron again!"

Kaido grabbed his spiked club and smashed it down on the stone table!

Boom!

The stone table was broken into pieces.

"He dares to arrest my men one by one?!"

Jin stepped forward.

"Kaido, Jack and the others have entered Impel Down."

"I know!"

Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder.

"First, find out which level they're being held on, and how many guards are in Impel Down!"

"And that brat Ron."

Kaido gritted his teeth.

"I don't want to be stuck at sea before I can even rescue him."

Queen muttered to himself, "Impel Down is so far away, are we really going to have to fight our way there..."

Kaido suddenly turned around.

"What did you say?"

"I said prepare the boat! Prepare it immediately!"

Kaido snorted coldly.

"Jhin, go check the news. Queen, get the ship ready!"

He grabbed the wine jug, tilted his head back, and took a large gulp.

"I'll settle this score with Ron sooner or later!"

The Port Dressrosa is filled with the salty, damp scent of the sea breeze.

The unrest in the city has subsided.

King Riku led his men to return the collected funds to each household, and the wounded were all sent to the hospital.

The naval investigation team took over the evidence related to the coup, and Ron finally boarded the warship for his return journey.

Vergo walked over carrying the last stack of sealed documents.

"The escort and handover are all done. Where to go next?"

"You guys go back first, I'm planning to go to the East Blue."

Luo, who was wiping away the Kikoku's wails, paused, looked up at him, and asked, "East Blue?"

"Going back to see some acquaintances, and taking a couple of days off."

Luo's lips twitched.

"Master, you said the same thing last time."

"Then what?"

"Then they brought back a Rear Admiral from the Sky Island who calls himself 'God' every day."

"Isn't that great? Now I can even help you with your tasks."

Ron shrugged.

Vergo closed the file, his face expressionless. "I just hope that this time I come back, I won't have to register another batch of detainees."

"Don't worry, this time it's a real rest."

Luo and Vergo exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything.
